When asked about my service record, I just tell them I’d been a machine gunner in a mountain infantry regiment. It’s not the whole story. True, my regiment fought under the Edelweiss, the alpine flower and symbol of the mountain troops; but it fought also under the silver runes, the symbols that now stand for all the unspeakable crimes that came to light when the war ended.

Since we came here in May to put up a hospital cage in this corner of the camp, reports of large-scale atrocities and mass killings kept coming in, too. There were rumors at first, then more and more newspaper articles, and, in particular, pictures of concentration camps liberated in the course of the defeat, horrible photographs gazed at in disbelief by the prisoners of war: human beings, nearly or definitely starved to death, hundreds of them. They are ghost-like skeletons, their frozen stare from their deep eye sockets one searing accusation, or just mere heaps of stiffened skins and bones with open mouths that seemed to still be wailing. In the agonizing hours, especially at night, when haunted by those pictures, I realized all these people have been held in the custody of men who wore the uniform I wore myself, and that from then on the silver runes will symbolize the guilt for what has been unearthed and still might come to light.

Now, today, I see more clearly how things will go. Aside from the political and military leadership of the Reich, the whole SS, including the combat units of the Waffen-SS, will be indicted as a criminal organization, charged with various war crimes. I don’t fully grasp the meaning of all those accusations, but I understand that we will all be held responsible for the terrible things that have become known. The members of these organizations will be prosecuted and convicted according to the provision of the Charter of the Tribunal. So, it is official now: we are regarded as a gang of criminals.

I can never wholly escape the doubt about whether the past ought best be forgotten, since it ended in such a singular catastrophe - above all, for the people some thought to be inferior, but also for ourselves. Is there a more convincing proof of the falseness of all our former truths?

There is another nagging doubt: Am I giving up my own self in the course of concealing my true identity as a volunteer of the Waffen-SS? Am I leaving behind the person I was (together with the dead and the outlaws) and trying to reach the other side, the land of the righteous? Am I already wandering about in a moral No-Man’s Land?
