    Frans Goedhart existed for real. His full name Frans Johannes Goedhart. Born July 20, 1917 at Arnhem. He survived the world war. He passed away (hear say) in Lelystad on 25-02-1996.

    what always amazes me about ww2 soldiers especially SS and Japanese soldiers is that they always acted perfectly decently but did hear that bad things were happening. But it wasn't them. Take our hero here. He's admitted to being a NAZI but says that he treated the "Subhuman" Slavs decently and fairly. He also states that he was surprised his commander didn't just shoot the old woman as others would have. SS even Waffen SS were trained to have little pity for anyone including themselves. That's what made them so damn good at being soldiers in the field.

      His statement that people were admiring of Hitler. The German people had long since fell out of love with NAZIsm and Hitler. A standard German joke towards the end of the war was. "The Nazi party have stated that. "If the Allies do not immediately halt the bombing of German cities, retaliation will be made the subject of another speech" The problem was that the German people had no alternative. If they complained they were shot or imprisoned.

    There were no Poles in the SS. They were forcibly conscripted into the army, usually inhabitants of Silesia.

      Yes there were Poles in the Waffen SSm due the fact that they joined to fight communism.
      This is also the main reason why so many country's were represented in the Waffen SS.
      Not because of ideological nonsense.

      Oh yeah, let the communists from the east continue their already extensive genocide along with the British empire and American genocidal bombings
      Not to mention the French wanting war if Central Europe wouldn’t comply with the extortion and absurd conditions already imposed.
      His papa was a cuck. I guess being racially replaced with Africans and Muslims that hate you and have no intention of integrating is mandatory to be a good European.

    Many Dutch SS volonteers for the Eastern Front believed they fought for a worthy cause by battling communism. Many assigned because of opportunistic priviliges promised by German propaganda. They were seen as ennemy collaboraters and were punished severely after the war.
