The Ukrainian populace saw Germa...

Army Group South under Generalfeldmarshall Gerd Von Runstedt, Attacked from Czechoslovakia into the Ukraine and Caucasus Mountains.This invasion force could have been the largest. Generalfeldmarshall Fedor von Bock could have attacked primarily f...

And smashed into Russia, Even as Ribbentrop was negotiating with Molotov concerning the non-aggression pact! None of the Western allies cared about Russia, America hates communism, England flatly refused Stalin's treaty advances, That is the only reason a German-Russian pact came to exist anyway. Ta...

I enjoyed your bio immensely sir! As a student of history,You piqued my curiosity. I wonder what the approximate number of German vets that later served in the U.S. Army was? Thank you for submitting your life, it was truly honorable!
