The shocking story of Peter Neumann, a former SS officer, is a typical example of a story about how a young man from a modest German family, fooled by Hitler's propaganda, becomes a convinced Nazi. With arms in hand, the newly minted SS officer confidently walked across a foreign land in order to restore "justice" to the great German people! With monstrous frankness, he describes how the SS troops robbed the population, carried out punitive operations, interrogations and executions of partisans, and the killing of civilians. Confident in his rightness, Neumann resents the determination of the "damned" Russians to reclaim their land and their unwillingness to serve the Reich. And when Germany lost the war, Peter Neumann, without realizing the criminality of his path, regrets only one thing - that he was not killed.
