Whatever happened to the young German man in pic related?

slow, agonizing death

Did he made it out of the gulag?
>>
He was gunned down after that pic was taken
>>
>>1160082
That might be one of the most heartbreaking pictures I've seen

That German soldier is just a soldier, he knows nothing but that he's fighting for his countrymen and he needs to put food on the table, all he wants is to go home, and then there's that Russian behind him who hates him for his invasion of his homeland. The Russian is jeering, he seems to revel in the German's misery. All this culminates in the German's 1000 yard stare filled with only one thing: hate.

Please don't confuse the Waffen SS with teh actual Wehrmact.
>>
>>1160458
Please don't confuse your dream Wehrmacht with the actual Wehrmacht heavily complicit in war crimes and genocide.
>>
>>1160460
I'm not saying the Wehrmact isn't guilty of its own crimes, but the Waffen SS was the main arm used by the Nazis to exterminate and kill civilian populations in the USSR during Operation Barbarossa.
>>
>>1160460
>Wehrmact
>genocide
No. There's a reason why the Army High Command refused baptizing the regular soldiers into Nazi Party members.
>>
>>1160460

I'd agree with you if not for the fact you're most likely a massive fucking hypocrite.

You're just engaging in counter culture backlashing against the view of history that the common soldier isn't to be blamed. You don't hold your ideas to other countries, such as the U.S or USSR and only apply your thought to the Nazi Germany.

>No.
Yes. See Omer Bartov: The Eastern Front: German Troops And The Barbarisation Of Warfare or his earlier Soldiers, Nazis And War In The Third Reich .

innocent soldiers are not to be blamed
those complicit in atrocities are
including those perpetrated by the wehrmaht
did you know that there is not a single (1) recorded instance of german soldiers being persecuted for refusing what we might now call illegal orders
or basically taking part in the various genocides etc.?
yet there are several isntances of them doing exactly that
in fact, there are records of soldiers who had refused to take part in the atrocities even getting promoted later on

That Russian soldier is just a soldier, he knows nothing but that he's fighting for his countrymen and he needs to put food on the table, all he wants is to go home, and then there's that German in front of him who hates him for his attempts to repel the invasion of his homeland. The German is pouting, he seems to revel in the Russian's fury. All this culminates in the Russian's cheeky-breeky grin filled with only one thing: savage joy.

No, Einsatzgruppens which did most of the killings were mainly composed from Sipo and SD personel.
SS =\= Waffen SS
