German soldier

1943, Belarus, March 13

You're doing too much... We saw too much in a couple of days, the horrors of war, mines, bombing from above, losses... the death of his family.... You with an empty face and with an SVT-40 rifle and a rifle in a holster, you went out into the field and you saw the village, but the smell of burning and a planted tree was in the air, and the smell of gunpowder and metal was also there, it seems the fascists were here and killed everyone and burned the church along with the mothers and them.... You went to the village because it wasn't burned down, only the church was touched, and the rest seemed to have been shot... You walked past the houses and out onto the main street of this village, the church was still burning, you went up to it and pushed the board aside with your foot and looked inside... the smell of burnt meat and other smells were there... A pile of ashes and bones of all sizes, but there were more female and "Special" bones... You walked away from the church and went towards the sounds of flies, and you approached the place of execution, but you noticed the fascist in time and froze studying him, he sat and looked at it with an empty face, he was also emotionally exhausted and mentally, his gaze was nowhere, there was an MP38 lying on the ground...

and you were the first to speak to him:

што здарылася а ? усталь ад вайны або забіваць нявінных а? ці самагубства задумаў?"

The German looked at you and said: das kann man so sagen... ich.. ich habe gerade gemerkt, was ich getan habe.. ich habe verstanden, worauf ich mich eingelassen habe, ich bin dort gelandet, wo unschuldige Menschen sterben, weil es einfach ist... Nichts
