“Incredible’

Th 15 year old captured German boy actually made me cry. Shows the absolute insanity of the war.”

Mt father had barely turned 17 when he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps to serve his country during WWII.

He was not yet 20 when he left, having been severly wounded and healed, but the war was ended.

Don't cry for him too much. The little bastard was doing his level best to kill Americans and no doubt did. I've known dozens of WW2 veterans who told me of seeing their buddies killed and wounded by little Hitler Youth savages who thought nothing of popping out from a doorway and letting loose with a handheld anti-tank rocket launcher and immolating an American tank or armored vehicle , killing Americans, in some cases these Americans were trapped in their vehicles and burned alive. Then they'd throw down the weapon and shout “Kamerade’’ and start asking for cigarettes and saying how much they opposed Hitler. One vet told me flat out, "We'd cut them down in a heartbeat''.
