Captivity of German Soldiers, 25 april 1945

    Prev Next

    Following the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht which went into effect on 8 May 1945, some Wehrmacht units remained active, either independently (e.g. in Norway), or under Allied command as police forces.[7] By the end of August 1945, these units had been dissolved, and a year later on 20 August 1946, the Allied Control Council declared the Wehrmacht as officially abolished

      I really don't see the humor in this body of work. If you were a German soldier captured by the Russians, as in this pic, you were doomed to experience a miserable death. Trivializing the gruesome reality of war with comic book heroes I don't get. What's next? Bombing of "military" targets by remote controlled drones from a computer console in Colorado? Oh, wait …
