84 years ago, what happened to the soldier who didn't salute Hitler and didn't bother to smile?

In JOJO animation, Kipling told JOJO: Courage is knowing fear, and then integrating fear with yourself. Ripple breathing is the product of courage. The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage! But how many people are willing to resist those charming fears?

1936 On June 13, the German naval training ship was launched in Hamburg. Hitler suddenly appeared at the event. At this time, everyone stared at Hitler and gave him a standard Nazi military salute. Whatever the expression on their faces, the photographer recorded this moment.

However, this photo has an extreme? Discordant? In the scene, in the vast sea of people, when everyone raised their right hands, one person not only did not salute, but also showed a disdainful smile.

Nazi ceremony was originally a military ceremony in ancient Rome, and was later used by Hitler. What does this mean? Germany and its people and interests are above everything else? Hitler was full of praise for this hand-raising ceremony, because shaking hands would make Germans lose their fighting spirit. He also ordered that the German-Italian ceremony was the highest ceremony on any occasion, and even the military salute was replaced. It is conceivable that if the Nazi ceremony is not used, the consequences will be very serious.

However, this photo was not made public at the time. It was not until 199 1 that Time was first published. This man became a symbol of anti-war, and people began to look for him. Hero? Soon after, a lady named Irene called the newspaper and said that this man was his father and his name was August? Landmesser

Dramatic, August? Landmesser was a member of the Nazi Party, but his future and love took a turning point. 1934, Landmesser and a Jewish woman, Ilg? Acre met and fell in love, and they registered to get married.

However, since Hitler came to power, he has been transferring domestic contradictions to Jews. 1935, Hitler also promulgated the Law on the Protection of German Origin and German Honor, which strictly prohibited Germans from marrying Jews and having children. Even a hybrid is defined as? Jews? .

Less than a month after the law was promulgated, Landmesser and his wife's first daughter, ingrid, were born. As a Nazi who hated Jews, Landmesser was expelled and arrested. Although he was taken to court, Randmesser was arrested. I didn't know my wife was of Jewish descent? Be found not guilty.

But he didn't leave his wife and children, but Hitler's voice of persecuting Jews became louder and louder. Although he didn't want to work for the Nazis, a family of three needed to eat, and Landmesser worked in a shipyard. Unfortunately, when the naval training ship was launched, Hitler appeared, and the unfortunate Landmesser naturally didn't want to salute him.

He was also reported, and the photo became the best evidence, so he was sentenced to two and a half years in prison. At this time, his wife was pregnant with her second child, Irene. Rand Mercer was still in prison when the baby was born. As a Jewish wife, he is afraid to visit.

More tragically, when Landmesser came out, Hitler launched World War II, and Jews were put into concentration camps one after another. He planned to leave Germany with his wife, but the first wave of Nazi cleansing was German Jews, whose wives were arrested and sent to the euthanasia center in Banburg, Landmesser went to prison again, and two children were sent to concentration camps.

1944, the Soviet red army broke through the German line and began a big counterattack. Crazy Nazis sent some prisoners of war to the battlefield, and Landmesser was one of them. 1944, 10, 17, died in Croatia. He had never seen his wife and two children since he went to prison until his death.

Fortunately, both children survived, and this history reappeared.
