I try to maintain complete historical accuracy in ww2db, reflects subjects from a specific period in history.
At times, I've expressed conjecture,theories and some technical observations, gazed into my crystal ball, and taken some liberties with humor. I thank the editor/ww2db for allowing me to do this.

EPITAPH: WAR'S COST
Heinz von Westernhagen, shot himself after
being relieved of his command. True or False
we'll never really know, he still suffered from a head wound received during Operation Zitadelle in Russia. He died March 20th 1945
was it the stress of combat or his wounds
that took its toll.
His brother Rolf von Westernhagen surrendered
to US forces, in 1945 and was turned over to the Russians, and sent to a labor camp in Siberia for eleven years until his release in 1956.
