Chapter 2
How did I, an English man, become a nazi soldier? I was born and raised in London for most of my life. My father was born there and lived there all of his life also. But he died, when I was fourteen years old. He had a heart attack; I don't know what caused it. Anyway, my mum she was German. Born and raised in Berlin. She moved to London when she was twenty- two to work as a nanny. She met my father within a few weeks and by the end of the year they were married. I came along about eleven months later.
Upon the death of my father, she decided to go back to Germany; her family was there. So, I was uprooted from the home I had always known and moved to a new country. A country that was bit-by-bit coming under a new rule. The rule of Adolf Hitler, a man determined to rule and gain all the power that he could. I was young and didn't know very much about the situation. But that changed when I started a school in Berlin. Most of the teachers were followers of Hitler, and the others were forced to enforce his thoughts and ideals. We were taught that Jews were beneath Germans, in particular what he considered pure Germans, or Aryans, as they are more correctly known. Because of my mother's German status I was considered German. In moving there I was a German citizen and so I had to become accustomed to the German ways. And as Nazi ideals spread, and my mother's family were supporters of Hitler therefore so was I.
From theta young age, in my own family unit, the ways and beliefs of the Nazi's were forced on me. And as I grew I had become so used to them that I started to believe them. As were most of the German boys of my age, I was made to join the Hitler youth. Here we were taught the ideology of the Nazi party to an even further extent, it also consisted of physical training. The youth were considered an important tool; after all they would one day be the soldiers for the Nazi's. The Nazi's had already been in power for about 4 years by then but I had only been in Germany less than a year. And so I became a part of the Hitler youth; I was quite old for having only joined when I was almost 15 as they began enrolling boys from age 10 onwards. There were a number of programs, for example, marching, camping, games. But there were also special programs like labor service, assisting the Gestapo and helping in the war effort. Not the nicest of things to do but it was what we knew.
I liked being a part of it, I felt like I belonged. Everyone was a part of it, all of my schoolmates and I wanted to fit in with them as any young boy does. And so I joined, and I liked the fact that I was just like everyone else, I wasn't being kept separate from them. I took part in the programs; I participated in the marches. I tried to teach anyone I knew of the truth o Nazi policies and ideas. After all, it must be true. So many people believed it; I looked down on the Jews. They were beneath me. I may not have been of purely German blood but I was of German blood and ancestry and therefore I was superior to any Jew. Being young, it felt good to be thought of as superior. All young people wanted to be better than someone else and so to be considered better than an entire race of people was even better. There had been no teaching of racism, or anti- Semitism, as I now know it to be. All that mattered was that they were Jewish and I was German. It was my job to help and get them out of Germany; it was a duty that I had been given. And I had to perform that duty.
People often wonder what the Nazi's had against Jews. Ok, so now that the war was underway most people knew, but there were some who wondered. The view on people of Jewish origin was that they were parasitic. Hitler showed us that they were to blame for the troubles of Germany, the Versailles Treaty which caused so much damage to Germany; defeat in World War 1 and so many other were all due to the Jewish people. And they had to pay for that. Hitler did not want his county infested with them and he made every effort to push them out. That was our task and we took it on gladly. Over the years; we prepared for War.
