In the novel Catch-22, there is a character named Nately’s Old Man. He is an old Italian man, discovered by Nately and he has survived many wars. He knows the secret. He knows that losing the war is always best. Wining means fighting and dying — and for what? He just surrenders every time and goes on with his life.

A lot of old men like that were murdered in German death camps. A lot of men like that were murdered at Kaytun Wood by Soviets.

Germany had over 42,000 detention sites that fed to the death camps.
