... would you join any organisation such as Schwarze Kapelle? Or maybe on the other hand - would you become a member of KdF, NSDAP, etc. ?

I hope my parents was smart enough to move from Germany to Sweden before the war. If not there was a big risk that I would be killed in one of the battlefields in Russia or somewhere else. In my view there is no glamour in war just hell. Better to be alive then a number in the statistic.

If you lived in Third Reich...
... I'd join the resistance, just like my grandfather did.

This thread is stupid as we are asked with our 2002 knowledge and morals to choose a path most of the people wouldn't have even considered.

If i lived during the Third Reich period in Germany, i would want to fight on the Eastern Front and after having my Knight Cross, ask for a transfer to join the Hitlerjugend in Normandy in 1944.

According to your point of view - all "what ifs" and most of other discussion has no sense.

Don't know what I would do - you can never tell, I guess. I do know that I would probably be swept away like most of the other Germans were, and would probably at some point end up at some battlefield...

I'm just glad I didn't live back then!

Its all a bit silly. In 99 percent of the cases nobody asked you which unit you wanted to join. Thus "I would join the SD" or "I would join the 12SS" are nonsense.

Also, what is the "Schwartze Kapelle"?

Schwarze Kapelle

#15

Post by Hannibal » 24 Mar 2002, 21:02

Schwarze Kapelle (the translation is something like "black orchestra") was a secret "renaissance" organistaion inside Third Reich. It consisted of Wehrmacht officers and some civilians. The assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944 was thier work. They planned to take over the reign after Fuhrer's death and make peace with Allies to end this stupid war. But "thanks to" Himmler's quick reaction most of them were captured and killed after 20 VII 1944. One of them was Erwin Rommel, forced to take poison.
