In Halbe itself, some of the civilians took pity on very young soldiers ("Kindersoldaten") and allowed them to change out of their uniforms into civilian clothes. In one documented case, an SS man appeared at the door of a cellar intending to shoot a Panzerfaust into a cellar with about forty civilians and young Wehrmacht soldiers in it, only to be shot dead by one of the soldiers.[13]
:pit:
always love to read how the nazis were escaping to the amerikkkan forces, almost like they knew that they would be treated with kid gloves :thinking-about-it:
though this was in hungary, my granddad was "drafted" (he was like 14, idk) and told to take one day's worth of sandwiches and report to the school gym.
you know, for the final defense of fascist hungary against liberation.
so he shows up and there's all these kids and then some army man (officer? sergeant? whatever) comes in, looks at them, shakes his head and tells them to just fuck off home and hide.
