Hi, Don't think there would be too many. I read a book by Hans Massaquoi some years ago called Destined to Witness. His father was an African diplomat (from Liberia, I think) and his mother was a German nurse. He never served in the Wehrmacht and was denied entry into the Hitler Youth. It's an inte...

Did they only then see the Nazi movement for the evil that it was or did they just want to be on the right side in the event Germany lost the war? It could have been even easier. I think that at that time many officers -pro Nazi/Democracy or not - were fully aware that contuing the war could lead t...

Re: Rommel
And when was a traitor who's out to assasinate his nation's elected leadership in its darkest hour an honourable man? Hitler was an elected leader? I never heard that he ever renewed his power through elections after 33. He never respected the weimar constitution and didnt prevent any harm to the g...

In some docu there was an officer saying that Rommel was jumping up...

Field marshalls July 19th 1940 and others
Who decided to make the 12 generals field marshalls in july 1940? Was it only Hitler who had the final decision? What was the procedure like? Well, and what about Goering's rank of Reichsmarschall?
