    Otto Carius, the panzer ace who served on both the Eastern and Western fronts, commented on his, and his men's shock at the differences between the 2 fronts, the East was non-stop fighting, no agreements with the enemy, no time for sleep. In the West however, agreements were made with the allies, an example, where the Germans would give up a town, in return the allies would cease-fire and help remove dead and wounded. Also he commented about how the Germans were able to sleep and relax a lot more, because of the caution (his view) of the allies offensive strategy. The Western front in my view showed (more often than not) how discipline in soldiers would limit natural human emotions, such as hate. This is a good image. Thanks for the upload.

    The Germans might not have always respected the prohibitions against shooting medical personnel (this was said to have been the case on Omaha Beach -although- it might have been tough for them not to shoot people on that beach). The Americans may well have done the same. I have also seen pics of German medics (captured) working freely in US aid stations as if they were US Army medics, and US medics working in German hospitals in what I assume to have been a temporary basis...

    Have you ever seen the photos of German Red Cross vehicles filled with wounded soldiers that were perforated by allied fighter bombers especially in France and the Netherlands? Not a pretty sight either I can assure you.

    Obviously wouldn't see this in the Pacific theatre or the Eastern front.

    I know of a couple veterans who witnessed or where themselves aided by German Soldiers. There were good and bad on both sides. One Veteran in our World War TWO Roundtable group was dug out of their shot down plane by German troops. He was taken to a German Military. He was treated well until he was healed of his wounds.
