“German war hero, Hans Von Der Heide was part of the 10th SS-Panzerdivision "Frundsberg" during the War.

In this interview Hans Von Der Heide, a german (Dortmund - Ruhr area) who in WWII served as a soldier of the Wehrmacht ending up in the rank of 'Unterscharführer' (sergeant) of the 10th SS Panzer Division, tells us about his experience defending Western and Eastern front lines. He tells what captured allied soldiers expected to be treated like, as well as atrocities he witnessed, how he and his comrades were treated like as POWs by western allies, what it was like fighting the red army, partisan warfare, the role of the Einsatzgruppen, jewish involvement and even women partaking. The interview concludes with his views on the "Holocaust" and if he would've done anything differently.
