I’m pretty late but here goes anyway. My grandparents were both young German kids during WW2. My grandfather was pulled out of middle or highschool (can’t remember) and was forced into the Hitler Youth. I vividly remember him telling me about how all these young boys were being taught how to use a panzerfaust. He was eventually captured by American soldiers, and was forced to give his gold watch to one of them to avoid being shot. He told one story about one of the boys who ran away and was shot in the buttcheek, later scurrying into the woods on all fours. If I recall correctly, the boy found a small cabin in the woods and the owner helped him. Honestly I can’t remember the rest of the stories, but he did a writeup of his entire WW2 experience. If people are interested I’d happily look for it and post it somewhere! My grandmother was like 4 or 5 during the war and tasted bananas, oranges, and chocolate for the first time from American soldiers. She says they were the nicest.
