Many years ago I had a cutting from a paper which showed a German soldier laying down his rifle, walking to a group of villagers and being shot by other Germans, along with the villagers.
He had refused to shoot the villagers as alleged partisans and was given the choice to either kill them or join them and be killed. He joined them.
This was either in Crete or Greece and there is a memorial to him in the village where this happened.
The photos were taken by another German soldier.
This is not a false story but true and would anyone know where this occured.
It ***** me off when I lose something like that.

Hi Sappernz
i've never heard of it happening in Crete (but that doesn't mean it didn't happen) are you sure it wasn't an italian soldier?
btw i have some pictures of the Galatas memorial if you would like to see it (the kiwi's are still remembered there)
