I was instructed from the time I could walk, that if anyone knocked on the door asking for Uncle Max, I was to say nothing and run and get Mum or Dad. The reason was, Uncle Max was forced to fight for the Germans after they invaded Czechoslovakia. Uncle Max hated the Germans and managed to escape the army. But, the German army were hunting him because he was a deserter, and if they ever caught him, he would be court marshalled.
I wonder why Germany’s army or government, were allowed to track and court marshall deserters, after they lost the war and committed genocide? Can someone explain it to me,please?
