I think they know they can become just as those they risk their lives to protect.
granddad wanted Germany to loose cause a world where the SS can kick the door in, is not a world worth living in.
kinda like knowing to be a slave worked till you die aint worth living.
they know what their hearts will not allow.
If it weren't for people like your grand dad standing up and doing what they can the Hitler's of the world would win every time . Imagine how many people believed like your grand dad all around Hitler From the stores I have read each person that helped those Hitler was hunting saved 3 or more each . One teenaged girl who had take care of her little sister after the Germans took their mom to the factories, that teenager hid 9 Jews 2 of them children and she was kicked out of her home so the when the Germans came to town . For the
From the time the Germans invaded her town until the Russians liberated the town she hid , nine people she had to get them food which sounds easy enough until you think about , the food shortage after just a few months , then She had to figure out how to pay for it , and explain why her and her little sister needed so much food . the people couldn't been seen or heard by any one .
and when it was over and the people could leave out of the attic, neighbors were trying to pat the girls on the back , the teenager shrugged and said it wasn't much anyone would have done it.
Those are the people that win the wars . I mean sure it was the military who came in with guns and tanks but people like that girl had been nibbling away the foundations for the entire occupation by te German before the guns got there. JMO
you know , we should post all the stories we can find about people like your grand dad here in this thread about Hitler .
It could become an in memory of all Hitler's victims .
that would be a fitting memorial not to mention a slap in the face for Hitler's memory .
