En savoir plus sur le livre
Young volunteers of the Waffen-SS were marked by the stigma of death even as they traveled to the Oder to undergo their baptism of fire. The daily order stated: "Defend the position to the last soldier." [...] When a Soviet bullet found its target, it did not matter whether someone whispered "Vive la Patrie!" or "Leve het Vaderland!" The Russian rifle was aimed at the heart of all Europe. Those who survived, upon returning to their homeland, were imprisoned regardless of age and treated as traitors to the nation. Probably because they understood 15 years earlier who the mortal enemy of Europe was and believed they had to confront it. Did they have to die only to be cursed for it later?
