The Nazi Era in Germany. Historians now debate the guilt of the German people. Some argue that all Germans were a party to the evils of the Nazis, the Holocaust and the execution of 9-million people in Germany’s concentration camps. Others argue that only a small number of Germans were really guilty, that the vast majority had no choice but to follow, themselves victims as well.

Henner Falk, seventeen, grew up anti-Nazi during the Nazi Era and naively expressed his political views. For his views, he was imprisoned and tortured. He escaped and then was hunted for years by a Gestapo agent with a personal vendetta. Henner’s hiding place was in the thick of battle, fighting in the Luftwaffe against the Allies in Russia, Africa and Italy. He did not desert, he did not surrender, he endured and hid, turning down rank promotion to remain inconspicuous in the corps of pilots and to remain alive.

In 1945 Henner became a prisoner of war, yet he felt free. In time he was repatriated back to a different Germany to finish his formal education, and to resume his life, as best he could, with the family and friends he had left.

This is Henry Gutsche’s story. Was Henner a henchman or a victim?
