And the Germans were dying at all possible fronts.
-
Slowly but surely, they were short on personnel.
-
So there was the idea to establish these as kamikaze mission you just throw in.
-
That was why we were militarily equipped like a self-dependent unit,
-
we were able to absorb counter strikes of the allies.
-
If we would have moved back, we would have been shot down from behind.
-
We were downright kamikaze missions.
-
That is how it was meant for the bigger units, for divisions.
-
And that was how the operations were.
-
Typical: our operation on a hillside,
-
were we would have been shot down by the American artillery straight after our first shot.
-
No one would have survived.
-
So was the military operation on many sections of the front.
-
Literature about this does exist.
-
The principle was: extermination of the politicals; they were to perish in the war and not survive.
-
The companies were assembled as follows:
-
1/3 political prisoners, 1/3 criminals and 1/3 officers, corporals
-
and lance-corporals who were mainly Nazis.
-
You had to be really careful if you did not really know the political prisoners.
-
Any comments or thoughts – it was very easy to get shot.
