Fighting for Hitler:
A Former German Soldier's Story
Saturday, March 19, 2005
Berea Lutheran Church, 7538 Emerson Ave. S, Minneapolis, MN
Joachim Pusch joined us at our March meeting for a fascinating story of a side of World War II that is seldom told. Twin Cities resident Joachim Pusch told his story of growing up in Nazi Germany, fighting in the Wehrmacht in World War II, and coming to America. At the end of the war in 1945, Mr. Pusch took refuge in a mountain lodge and hid in the wine cellar. The next day, he and some fellow soldiers walked with a white flag to a nearby village and surrendered.
Mr. Pusch has lived in America for over 50 years, but it was only recently that he gave a presentation at Fort Snelling, standing in front of former U.S. soldiers for the first time and telling what it was like to fight in Hitler's war machine. Click on any of the photos to enlarge it.
This was also your first chance to see our new meeting location.
