No fewer than 31,598 fallen German soldiers are buried at the Ysselsteyn cemetery.
Of those, 31,598 burried soldiers, there is one in particular.
This is Karl-Heinz Rosch, a young boy who was drafted at the age of 17 to serve in the German army. And then gave his life for that of Jan (4) and Toos (5). Two young children from Goirle. (North Brabant, Netherlands)
This is a very nice story to show that there were certainly enough good Germans in the second world war.

Of course, not everyone had the strength to be a hero, but each of them made the world a little better during that terrible time. They should still be our role models today!

My grandfather (British) used to remind me that history is written by the winners. I'm proud of what we did in WW2, but have no doubts that bad things were done, and that there were unpleasant people serving on our side too. My father was in the army- in later life he worked with ex-U boat men who had stayed in Britain after the war. He had great respect for their courage and decency and said they were 'good lads'.

I visited this military cemetery 4 years ago and found it such an awe-inspiring and reflective place. As others have mentioned, I found myself trying to visualise the very young men (boys) who sadly lost their lives to the madness of national socialism. It was heartening to hear Karl's story and his daring kindness towards the children and their parents. I am sure that there are many others of a similar disposition who lie with Karl in this beautiful park. As a retired Army officer who has served in Germany and who has spent many wonderful holidays in the Netherlands, I have always been touched by the generosity of spirit and kindness shown to the memory of those who liberated the country. It is equally gratifying to see that same generosity of spirit being acknowledged towards those who do good things in bad times. Thank you for a wonderful story told so well.

In September 1992, I visited Ysselsteyn with my father and his friend. As I recall, there were high hedges around the entry so it was not visible from the car park. A lane way takes you to the cemetery proper but it is obscured by the hedges until the last moment. At the instant my eyes saw the extent of this place I physically felt the air drain from my lungs almost a feeling of faintness. My father did not venture onto the grounds nor did his friend. They sat on a bench and I guess discussed old times. We were there for only 20 minutes when my father summoned me that it was time to move on. The truth is he felt uncomfortable there. As we walked back to the car I asked why he felt no emotions for these young men. His answer was was sharp and tinged with anger. They never should have been here in the first place, he said. Near five years of occupation will make a person feel that way. He hated them in a way that no one, unless they experienced it, could have any chance of understanding. At the Allied cemeteries he could hardly hold back his tears.

I've read of instances of German troops who were integrated into your army, having "accidents" and your people putting yellow stars on their clothes, much to the annoyance of the occupiers.

A touching video….The propaganda about German Soldiers is just that, propaganda….I knew a few WW2 British infantry soldiers who had nothing but praise and respect for their counterparts in the Wehrmacht.. The word NAZI which is an overused term for all Germans of that era was first coined by a Jewish chap call Konrad Heiden, its been turned into something really despicable by pure propaganda. The National Socialists never referred to themselves as NAZI’s… RIP Karl Heinz one of the many victims from WW2.

Ik herinner me een verhaal over een Duitse soldaat in de buurt van Gent die ook ingekwartierd was, zeer tegen de zin van de familie ter plekke. Maar de soldaat stak de familie geregeld wat extra eten en rantsoen toe dat hij uit de kazerne had meegenomen. Na de oorlog heeft hij de familie per brief zelfs nog bedankt voor hun goede zorgen. Een andere Duitser (die al enige tijd in Gent woonde) heeft zelfs een plaatselijke commandant ervan overtuigd een arrestatie van tien onschuldige burgers niet uit te voeren. En zo zijn er nog wel verhalen

The fact that even a memorial to a hero of the highest humanitarian courage had to be feared, moved, and basically hidden because of all the naysayers and their rumor mongering speaks volumes as to who the real good guys were

Dag Sander. Erg mooi gedaan en een indrukwekkend verhaal, bedankt. Helaas waren er maar enkele Duitsers met die mentaliteit; ik ben nu 82 er heb nog steeds een hekel aan die moffen. Ook in mijn familie en de familie van mijn vrouw hebben de Duitsers schade aangericht, blijft altijd bij ons. Vriendelijke groeten van Bas Peet Hilversum

@@TravelingToHistory Mijn ouders hebben ook behoorlijk geleden door de oorlog. Vader vocht aan Nederlandse kant en heeft als krijgsgevangene heel wat mede soldaten moeten begraven bij de Grebbeberg. Zijn broer werd afgevoerd tijdens een razzia naar de Arbeitseinzatz en heeft geen goede tijd gehad. De volgende broer werd naar Indië gestuurd en nu weten we allemaal wat daar gebeurd is, ik heb hem daarover nooit iets horen zeggen. Aan moeders kant werd haar broer getraumatiseerd omdat hij tijdens hevige vuurgevechten, gewonde en dode soldaten uit de vuurlinie moest slepen. Hun huis werd afgebrand en ze raakten alles kwijt. Familie in Nijmegen en Arnhem zijn gebombardeerd en verdreven. En ondanks dit alles... de een meer dan de ander, hebben ze toch hun haat kunnen overwinnen en zijn ze de menselijkheid in de ander blijven zien. Blij dat ze de ellendige tijd achter zich konden laten. In het besef dat maar heel weinige dit gewild hebben en bijna iedereen slachtoffer was van die tijd.

Very sad story this man was truly a hero. It's sad that old men start wars. That young man have to die in. Maybe if we send politicians to war there wouldn't be and not soldiers and sailors and Marines. Maybe they would think twice before they decide to declare senseless wars.

@@TravelingToHistory het enige wat bekend is dat ze er waren vanaf begin 42 en pas weg gingen kort voor de bevrijding. 1 van die jongens naam was willie en was koerier. en had toen mijn opa in het ziekenhuis lag mijn zwangere oma [ van mijn moeder ] in zijn zijspan mogen laden en haar afgezet in het ziekenhuis 45 km verder en na enkele uren haar weer opgehaald en terug naar huis gebracht. in die tijd in de zeeuwse polder was 45km met paard en wagen een hele dag reizen. ook is zeker dat er minimaal 1 is gesneuveld en dat er van 1 zijn hele familie is verbrand tijdens een 'vuurstorm'' bombardement , waarschijnlijk hamburg.

@@jed-henrywitkowski6470 It's not meant to offend, the documentary title just reflects on the mindset of the days during/after the war where people would say 'he was just a kraut' when burying german soldiers' bodies. whereas the documentary itself shows that they were people too (using Karl).

@@petergraves2085 We had to cooperate with our neighbors after the war, they need us, we need them, we both needed food and work. And that's only possible with dialogue. So you have to make the best of it. And after some time they showed regret, and were willing to work on a better future. Many know we were both victims of the same madness, and let's hope it never happens again.
