you asked for it!
Forget about what you watched on TV or on a DVD that is all B.S.!!!
It must have been somewhere close to Stalingrad were the Wehrmacht had a Hospital, or more like a bigger tent.
It snowed allready and Temperature droped allready way below zero celsius.
The russians broke somewhere through and the German soldiers had allready a hard time defending what they still got in that pocket of Stalingrad. So the Oberstabsarzt wich is some higher ranking doc ordered to lay all dead bodies and those who are about to die in low pit. They heard about the Russian attack and that they were coming their direction so they evacuated what they could and was able to walk. After a few hours of combat the Germans regained control of the area and what they found was a nightmare. One T-34 Â was accidently driving over that pile of wounded and dead bodies, the snow coverd allready a large part of it…I will here save the rest!
When you hear somebody saying that he carried his comrade a few miles or all the way back, ignore it. When the enemy is behind you with no mercy, you are going to carry squad!..you just run…
This information you obtain from peoples who fought in WW II of course. If you have been going to a German pub every once in a while, you would have picked up sometimes discussions of those veterans and their Opinions about the war. Most of the Time they will cry and stop talking about it. But on special occasions they release a little bit of their stories or memories.
After a while you get the puzzle together. For example:
My Grandpa barley talked about it (WWII). Sometimes he would tell me that he received a torpedo hit in his behind.
It took me years to figure it out. Simply said ,what do you first expect when somebody gives you this only phrase line of memories of the war. When I was older and did some research,(Asking Grandma, discovered where he may have fought and getting an Idea of the Unit he must have fought for) I found out that his Ship was covering the Scharnhorst.
He must have been on minesweepers…
