The most disturbing photo… If you are ever tempted to forget that war is, in fact, hell, here is a child member of the German Volkssturm, the citizen army of 16 to 60 year olds conscripted to mount the final defense of Germany against the Red Army. The kid has peed his pants in terror. Their cowardly Fuhrer, of course, blew his brains out rather than join the fight. I wonder what the soldier is saying to him. Is he appealing to his patriotism? His love of the Fuhrer? I wonder if this little boy survived the war. This is probably the most disturbing photo I have seen in a very long time. I was going to post this on FB but it is way too raw.
