""They did horrible things," Keefer continued. "They were in a group frenzy in both cases you site [sic]. Who is to say if we were both there in the same place and time, that we wouldn't have done the same thing."
Not defending nasties by any means but sometimes people get swept up in things and only realize it when it's too late.
My dad was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and taken to Stalag 13 in Germany. Near the end of the war Patton tried to liberate the camp because his son-in-law was there. It was unsuccessful at first and total chaos. Some POW's including my dad escaped.
He and a few others we on the run for a day or two and sought refuge in a small hunting shack. A young boy spotted them. They weren't going to capture and kill a boy but they knew soldiers would come and they were soon recaptured. They were taken to where the soldiers were stationed and were being lined up for a firing squad. A high ranking SS officer "all decked out with the uniform and glistening boots", "the SS was the worst of the worst" dad said. But this officer intervened and stopped the soldiers.
The soldiers were not happy. One stood up to him and wanted to proceed with the executions. The officer "took of his white glove one finger at a time like in a movie and slapped the soldier across the face with it".
He told the soldiers to follow his orders that the war was over and to stand down. "There has been enough killing".
The soldiers were not happy and wanted revenge. My dad shouted to the officer (in French) "what will happen when you leave". The officer replied "I will not leave" and he made sure my dad and the others were not harmed.
True story.
My dad never talked about his war days when we were young but before he died I asked him and he told me and I wrote it all down.
My grandfather was a nazi sympathizer and German American, so he couldn't fight in Europe. Blamed wrongfully for his brothers unfortunate death, so he went all out over the Pacific. Got shot in the leg, and marched through jungles with malaria. Kept going. Man had a death wish... Funny he always hated Jews, blacks, and some Hispanics, but still admired the Japanese he slaughtered. Somehow my dad ended up a Christian Zionist.
As Patton said, we fought the wrong enemy
Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
Dad had only been deployed for a few days. It was almost Christmas and he was looking forward to a cigar and whiskey but didn't get the chance. They could hear tanks approaching and were told it was deception with loudspeakers and not to be concerned, but it wasn't and then "all Hell broke lose".
The soldiers scattered in the dark woods and my dad found a small group of other Americans who asked him "What's the password". He replied "there is no password" and they knew he was one of them. But they were surrounded and soon captured.
Most of the soldiers were shipped off to a work camp in Poland but dad was an officer so he was sent to Germany. He was a doctor and enlisted fresh out of med school. He was in the 106th Infantry known as "The Golden Lions". On the POW train he had to amputate a mans leg without proper tools or anesthesia.
At the camp there were German peasants on the other side of the fence. He spoke to them in French and asked for the weeds being cleared from their vegetable garden. "You want the weeds?". He shared the dandelion greens with the other POW's to supplement the gruel they were fed.
Dad was an amazing man and I wouldn't be here if the SS officer hadn't rescued him from the firing squad.
Cool story.
Fwiw, my dad was a 20 year old farm boy when he was drafted. He told them he couldn't shoot anyone, and they told him since he had been raised on a farm, he could sign up for the cavalry and take care of the horses. And since this was a war of machinery, he would probably just stay stateside. A few months later the cavalry was disbanded, and they sent my dad to the Pacific, where his job was repairing guns.
He never talked about it with me, except once. He told me there was an incident on an island where some civilians had been killed, and a baby remained alive. He and the other soldiers drew lots to see who would have to kill the baby, as the child would've starved to death.
He had nightmares.
I think he knew at the end of his days that we had fought on the wrong side, but he never said it.
I'm pretty sure there were no executions of POWs among the National Socialists. All actual documentation is to the contrary, and if there were it wasn't sanctioned.
Everything we know about the war is filtered through the lens of kike child rapists, and that typically includes first hand accounts by US veterans since they lived through 60 years of kike indoctrination.
NatSoc Germany was the only political opposition in the world (not counting their allies) to the kike child rapists quest to turn the world into a cesspit of fucking niggers.
