You could say that but its both when Japan or Soviets involved (Countries that didnt sign the geneva convention) these things become hard to find, I cant find Americans helping Japanese Soldiers or Germans helping Soviet Soldiers (unless its 1939 and theyre invading Poland together) when both America and Germany signed the geneva convention but there is Chiune Sugihara that I know of (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiune_Sugihara) but would you consider this helping the enemy?

When you look at World War 2 and read everything about it you have to admit the Eastern Front and the Pacific was much more Brutal than the Afican or Western Front

Sometimes it blows to think that the war involved more than this polished little simulation that we subscribe ourselves to. Volksgrenadiers were comprised of the elderly and the young.

Russian and Germans hated each other, Americans considered Japanese inferior savages and Japanese considered Americans huge evil demons.

The Pacific was horrific compared to the Eastern Theatre and unspeakable compared to the Afrika Theatre.
Irwin Rommel is one of the more outstanding human beings during the conflict.
He treated his counterparts with civility and chivalry

Actually you are incorrect.
The volks you are thinking are actually Volksstrum
Volksgrenadiers were actually Grenadiers renamed to build morale

@wouren:
I'm not gonna get into semantics argument here.
I've had enough people piss me off today on the smallest of the small details.

OP, apologies for derailing your thread.
If I come across any other such examples, I will share them.

Some of these stories that have no proof (pictures, videos etc.) could be fake but many are also real and finding out about these men doesnt matter who they fought for is always a very fun interesting read about them and what they did, cause you have to remember that helping the enemy is always pretty risky to pull off.

On a side note when I do look for stories like these its always on the Western front that I find the majority of these stories its alot harder to find ones that happened in the Eastern front or the Pacific
