A few months ago in Italy, we were capturing German soldiers who had been in high school just weeks earlier. They’d barely had time to get dirty, let alone thin.
Meanwhile they were still wasting their resources on concentration camps. Maybe that is why the Generals tried to kill Hitler, they saw the amazingly bad strategies and the waste of resources.
The POWs in the photos should be downright thankful they didn’t march through the streets of Moscow two weeks ago. Especially the guy with the SS runes on his uniform.
