This story is dedicated to those men, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of peace. It is a fictional account of one person’s experiences during World War 2, which also contains certain facts that did occur. It was never my intent to disrespect anyone while creating this story, and I apologize to those who may feel offended.
