Thanks for sharing, a very poignant piece indeed! I especially like this last paragraph, which is so true and straight to the core of it all:

"We are not looking for soldiers of the Wehrmacht, not for U.S. GI's, Marines, soldiers of the red army or Polish Military - not for infantry, soldiers, sailors or airmen - not for Good or Bad.

We are looking for people - Sons, Fathers, Brothers. Fallen soldiers are also victims - victims of a gruesome war, which they had not caused and had not wanted."
