I've already started a few times, but I've always cancelled. It's still too emotional for me at this point.
My father had to join the Wehrmacht at the age of 19, he was later in La Rochelle France as a flag gunner, from 1945 - 1947 he was a prisoner of war in France. The subject of the Second World War was always a point of contention between us. I can still remember that he had tears in his eyes when he saw the pictures of the many corpses in Auschwitz on the television.
Back then, I believed the propaganda about the Nazis more than my father's stories. If I could still talk to him today, our relationship would certainly be different.
