Very true, but he died protecting his family which is very honorable.

This has always been one of my favorite shots of him, and to see it in color makes it even better. Thank you for posting this!

yeah! It´s so sad that not all German soldiers in WW2 where so honourable like him!   

He was one of the few people who didn´t follow Hitlers stupid orders to fight into the dead and making sensless losses   !!

You know Hitler take good choices too for the battlefront, and generals didn't obey and maked the defeat as for the battle of Moscow

NOOOO!

Sorry, but I don´t want to see this Bastard in good light! Never ever! So please don´t do that with a smile !!

I know you´re from  France and mabey you have a different view about the history. I am German and I hope you see my point of view.
Dont worry ... I am different like the most Germans, they dont want to see Girls und Panzer, WW2 weapons and Military history ... I like all those things

I see the war from both sides: Allies and Axes. And yes, mabey some of his choices were good in the early war... but in the result, this war brought 55 Mio. people the death and destroyed Europe!

That´s what we shouldn´t forget!! So there´s no pardon for Hitler!!! Nothing good about him!!!

I hope you think so too...Sorry, I didn´t want to say you´re Nazi or so... didn´t want to bash you  ... but if something is about Hitler I get in rage

It's not for nothing that he's respected by all the armies of this edge.
