In all my years of learning about WW2 one thing that sticked with me the longest was the Wehrmacht's last stand at Berlin, be it willingly or of no choice for those soldiers. The prospect of continuing the struggle in hopes of at least stalling the enemy or buying time for a miracle, out of wishful thinking, to happen is unfathomable to our generation today. Compared to my previous Filipino countrymen that had the luxury of retreating to the mountains and jungles to stall and await for American reinforcements, the German army was literally in a hopeless last stand. The horrific thought of having no homeland to go home to will sure to take hold of anyone who has a degree of love for their nation, almost like zealously defending a civilization in the brink of armageddon. Defending your nation despite having clear and inevitable signs of defeat is an act that most of us might not be even willing to do in this day and age. I have tremendous respect to my veteran countrymen and the Allies, especially to the Americans for their help during the war; but to this day, no one has ever taken away my eternal admiration to the Germans who stood their ground in the face of obvious defeat and annihilation.

More than 1/3 of the inhabitants were murdered within two months. The youngest victim was 14oy boy. He was tortured (a few days and then shot) for carrying the national flag. Hundreds of teachers, clergy, scouts etc. were exterminated to prepare the area for "colonization". After everything I have learned, after all the photos, how the Germans are drinking their coffee in peace (They built a cafe in the torture chamber. Interesting, isn't it?), where people are tortured downstairs , as they were digging mass graves in the surrounding forests, I think that what happened to them was just a poor substitute for Hell that they cooked for my people through the years of occupation.

I see a lot of people are posting stories so here's my grandpa's. I never met him, everything was relayed to me by my mother. He was entrenched at or near Stalingrad, so close to the russians he could hear them talking in their other trench. He could hear a "Vasily" talking, and his own name was the Romanian version of that, "Vasile". Apparently there was a small local truce on Christmas, and the two exchanged gifts. For the rest of his stay, my granddad never tried to actually aim at the enemy again, as to not unknowingly hit Vasily. At some point he got wounded and extracted from the front. Doesn't really match with the timeline of the city getting surrounded, so I assume he wasn't in the encircled Stalingrad to begin with, but somewhere close. He lived and by the time he recovered, Romania had switched sides. He was deployed again on the Hungarian front and lived through that as well. He eventually died of old age. He lived in a small village, owned a hunting rifle and used to feed his dogs more than he fed himself, because he had to share his food with the dogs as a kid. Other than this and one or two random things, I don't know much about the man.

Der Onkel meiner Großmutter starb in der Schlacht um Stalingrad, irgendwo im Herbst 1942, ihr Vater kämpfte in der Nähe von Kursk, reiste durch ganz Europa, nahm Berlin ein und ich kämpfte in der Mandschurei gegen die Japaner. Ein anderer Urgroßvater in der Linie meines Vaters wurde 1941 eingezogen, geriet in Gefangenschaft und konnte erfolgreich fliehen, danach erreichte er auch Berlin und blieb ein Sieger, er starb vor einigen Jahren. Alle drei konnten in Jakutien ein friedliches Leben führen, aber all diese großartigen Menschen beschlossen, 8.000 Kilometer an die Front zu gehen, gegen die Nazis zu kämpfen und ihnen 2 Meter Land in der Breite und zwei Meter Tiefe unter einem Espenkreuz zu geben. Niemand hat dich in unser Land gerufen, dir wurden die Gräueltaten und die Barbarei auf unserem Land vergeben, aber sie wurden nicht vergessen. Jetzt bewegt sich Ihre Regierung langsam in die gleiche Richtung wie Ihre Nazi-Vorfahren und schickt Panzer in die Ukraine. Denken Sie an die Deutschen, im 45. Jahr haben unsere großzügigen Vorfahren Ihren Vorfahren vergeben, aber unsere Generation ist vielleicht nicht so unterstützend und gutherzig.
