About This Quote
There are certain traits that can be passed down through generations. The tendency to be gullible, for one. Or, in this case, the tendency to be cowardly. After all, you can't really blame the Waffen S.S.
for doing what comes naturally. But a funny thing happened on the way to the moral high ground. By doing their duty to their country and their flag, they found themselves defending against people who were even more frightened than they were.
They came to their senses just in time to defend against the real threat: free men and women who had seen enough of war and were determined to stop it forever.
