Re: Meissler's (7./JG52) story and interrogation report
Hi, again
Nokose - the stories like these are of course horrifying, and when looking at the conflict known as WWII in retrospect the way we are able to do in a (mostly) free world in my opinion tends to show the human from all its worst sides.
What is incredibly disturbing is to see how thin the coat of civilization that cover the underlying beast is in a presumably normal human being. We can in my opinion not discredit all the people that commited atrocities during the war (and in earlier and later conflicts) as having a mental dysfunction, as many of them were leading a perfectly normal life before a given conflict - and that the vast majority went back to a normal life and career afterwards.
I am sure that the Soviet female interrogator and self appointed executioner later on was a loving wife and caring mother.
Regards,
Andreas B
