  1. In the last chapters of the wars, "Sippenhaft" was also heavely enforced. This ment, that if you were found guilty of a crime against the German Volk (like desertion, refusal to fight, defeatism or others), not only you would be punished, but your relatives could also suffer, in a range that went from social ostracism and denying of public help (wich was the only way to get food-rations, coal for the winter, and other things you needed to survive), to internation in disclipinary battalions (not good), jail (bad), or konzentrarion-camps (worse), knowing meahnwhile, that your chidren woould be taken away from your family and rised by the state to be good n*zis and pay for your "sins" with their blood...... That`s definitively a good reason to fight till your last breath.......because, while you can have doubts about the fate of your family under russian or american occupation......they knowed DAMM WELL what was going to happen to them if they p*ssed ofthe german authorities......
