We no longer fought for Hitler or for National Socialism, or for the Third Reich—or even for our fiancées or mothers or families trapped in bomb ravaged towns. We fought from simple fear, which was our motivation power. The idea of death, even when accepted it, made us howl with powerless rage. We fought for reasons which are perhaps shameful, but are, in the end stronger than any doctrine.
