| My respects to my enemy.
I told a lot about my exploits in WW2.
But there is something that I should mention. I pay my respects to my adversary, the German Soldier. It should be mentioned just how good a soldier he was. Wether he was just naturally that good or was he forced to fight as well as he did. They were very well diciplined and taught to obey their superiors. They performed very well. I just hope we never have to fight them again. I suppose that they had to fight or be shot by their own. I know of cases where that happened.
There was but one case in WW2 where an American soldier was executed by a firing squad for cowardice. His name was Pvt. Eddie Slowik( look it up on google or Yahoo) He was a ist generation Polish American from Detroit.This was a sad case. |
