The famous captured photos of World War II

The war is a disaster for everyone, and no one can stay out of it. In World War II, a terrible disaster, more than 7 million people were killed in the war. Every time we look back at history, people cry. Nazi Germany did countless crazy things for its victory. Hitler even set up a "baby teacher" to let a group of young children work hard for him on the battlefield.

His name is Hans and he is a 16-year-old German boy. His family died in relentless gunfire, leaving him helpless. Seeing that he was going to starve to death, the desperate Hans joined the "Nazi baby teacher", at least here, he would not starve to death.

In April, 1944, Hans and other children went into battle after a short training. There is a sign of "bottle" on their uniforms. Because the German army let them drink 3.5 liters of fresh milk every week to ensure that they have enough strength to do heavy physical work, which is also the origin of the name "baby teacher".

As Hans is very young, he is assigned to carry shells. The first world war of "Baby Teacher" was to ambush the 27th Canadian Tank Regiment. Unexpectedly, the "baby teacher" won. This caused an uproar and filled Hitler and others with confidence. Hitler said excitedly, "Young soldiers can fight like adult soldiers!" Himmler also said: "Young teachers are more enthusiastic and loyal than adult soldiers. They are excellent soldiers. "

therefore, the allied forces were greatly stimulated, so they decided to intensify their efforts to attack the enemy. Soon, the allies launched a fierce attack on the "baby teacher". Suddenly, the children panicked. In just 1 days, more than half of the company and platoon leader died. 4, teachers died and 8, were injured or missing. In this way, these innocent children became another batch of funerary objects in Nazi Germany.

fortunately, Hans survived and was captured by the allied forces. Watching all his comrades around him die, young Hans couldn't help crying. He was too scared to look the Allies in the eye. A second lieutenant stood up and asked coldly, "How do you want to die?" Hearing the word "death", Hans trembled even more. He cried and said, "Please help me."

This scene happened to be taken by an army photographer. Hans' eyes in the photo are full of fear and sadness. Faced with all the unknowns, he panicked. Somehow, instead of killing or abusing the child, the allies gave him a piece of bread to satisfy his hunger. Hans was sitting in the corner crying and eating with bread, and the photographer continued to record this scene.

Later, Hans' photo became one of the most classic photos during World War II. From these photos, people see the ruthlessness of war. Zhukov even said bluntly: "Who will push the child to death? Only a madman would do this! "

Shortly after the end of the war, Hans was released and went to East Germany, where he settled and lived a quiet life.
