The government of his country are responsible for his actions during the war. I have no idea how I would have handled that, I don't think anybody can truely know what'd they do unless they went throught that. I think everybody was responsible in a way for WW2, it wouldn't have been a world war unless everybody had particapated.

I beleive that the government is responsible for the soldiers actions during the war. I beleive that it had to be a very confusing time for most people and some of them got sucked in to the evilness and became soldiers because they had been threatened or persuaded. I don't know what I would have done in the situation that he must have gone through. I think that today people aren't prepared if something as catastrophic as WWII and I definitely wouldn't be ready to face those kinds of hardships. I think that his parents and the rest of his family must have also been soldiers and that his mother was at home, or she was dead. I beleive that everyone contributed their part to the war. It was everyone's war, and everyone had a hand in creating it.

I think that the government is responsible for this soldier's actions during World War II. The government was telling him where to go and what to do that why i think they are responsable. It would be hard to face the death and the hardship that he outlines. I think that maybe his family was either dead or in the war with him. I think you can't really blame anyone for this other wise it would not be called a world war. It would not be called a world war if their was anyone to blame.

The violence involved in war is unimaginable. Soldiers are like pawns in a chess games, control by higher power. Ultimately, soldiers just follow orders; the government officials are responsible for their actions during war. I would have major problem with the death and hardship the man in the video faced. After watching the movie Glory in Mr. Patrick’s class, I have determined that war is not for me. His parents and family were at home hoping and praying he wouldn’t get killed. As I stated before, the government controls what happens in the war soldiers just do the dirty work.

For his actions during the war, I believe that the government was responsible. The government told him what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. If they had not been telling him then he would probably have made different decisions and the outcome of his journey through World War II probably would have been much different.

I probably wouldn't have been able to handle the hardship and pain and death that he went through. I would have probably given up. It seems unbearable to me how much of anyone with a good soul could go through that. To do that, you have to be incredibly brave and wise, and I believe that man is much of both.

I think maybe the father could have been in the war with him and his mother at home or either dead. The rest of his family I am unsure about. They could have been either dead or in hiding or at a safe place away from the war or any enemies. Or they could have been dead.

I believe everyone is at some blame. Even if Adolf Hitler was the leader and instigator, it takes more than one person to fight a war. And I believe that in some way, hiding or fighting, every person contributed in the war. Even if you are fighting against them, you are in the war, making the war an actual war. If you are the instigator or with the instigators, you are in the war. If you are running and in hiding you were in the war. After all, I believe that definitely EVERYONE was in the war one way or another.

I beleive the government is the responsible for his actions in the war. He faced so much death and fear because of his country. They say war is Hell, and he lived through it.

I think the government is responsible for the soldier's actions during the war, I would feel very sad and depressed and even scared war and deat are scary things just thinking about it makes me sad,I think most of the male family members were soldiers also and the female family were probably at home or being nurses aiding injured people,It was everyone's war, and everyone had a hand in making it.

Unknown said...

I think the governor is because they have control over almost everything.I would feel bad for the death of people because my grandfather,my uncle and other family member are there to.I think most of the family was in the war along with other peoples family. I think the males were in the war and the woman were nurses for the death and the wounded man in the war.I think everyone is responsble.

I think that the government is responsible for the soliders actions in the war.I really don't think I would handle it well as anyone would with death.I think that the guys where soliders and the woman or mother stayed at home and took care of the soliders and I think that everyone had a part in the war and I wish that our world today wouldn't have war.....I am tired of it!!

I think that hitler is the one responsible for all of the germans actions during World World 2. I dont know how i would have faced the death and hardship that he outline i would just try not to go crazy and get depressed and kill my self like lots of people do after they come home from a war. his parents were probabaly in germany building and doing stuff that would help the germans in the war. But if he had brothers that were about his age than i think that most likely the would have takin part in the war as well. I think that Hitler is the one responsable for all of the war attrocities.

Parrucci said...

I am not really sure who is reponseable for this particular soldiers actions but I do know that the war was caused by Adolf Hitlers thirst for power. I could not face what he faced by choice but if I had to I would just do what he did. I would just have to tough it out. I would try to live with it until the war was over. His family was probably back in Germany reading letters he had sent home.

I think think the government is responsable for the solders in the war and I think it was not the best time for the war either.I don't think it would be a good time to face eather life or death at that time.

Unknown said...

The government of this country are responsible for their soldiers that they send over to other countries. I don't think anybody would know what to do in those situations unless they were put in them. Soldiers see so much that it just warps their mind, and they do crazy things. Their state of minds arent right. They are doing what they feel they have to just to survive.

I think that the government is responsible for the soldier’s actions. The way I would have faced the deaths and hardship would be that it is horrible that them men had go throw all of that trouble of fighting, not sleeping, and not having nothing to eat for a couple of days straight. I do not think that other people know what them men went throw in the war. His parents were also soldiers. Either his mother was dead or she was at home cleaning and doing the laundry. So least that guy had his family beside his side fighting with him. Everybody had a part in the war.

Destini said...

I would honestly have to say that the government is responsible for the actions during the war. I wouldn't be able to take it. I don't know how i would handle it. I think his parents were also playing a part in the war. I believe that everyone who is a part of the war, ultimately had been resopnsible for it.

I love what Matt Bartrug said that, "Soldiers are like pawns in a chess games, control by higher power. Ultimately, soldiers just follow orders; the government officials are responsible for their actions during war." I totally agree with him one-hundred percent.(Matt that was a good simile.) It would be hard for me to handle the death and hardships of the war. His family was praying that he made it home safety. I don't know who was responsible for the war atrocities.

The government and country are responsible for the actions in the war. I think that everybody played a role in the responsibility in the actions in world war two. i dont know what i would have done in the situation. The government was responsible, because they told them what to do. I dont think that it would have been such a war if everbody didnt participate in it.

Grant said...

I consider that the government was responsible for the soldier’s actions during the war. The government told me how to do it, what to do, and when to do it. If they had not been telling him, then he would probably have made different decisions and the outcome. I probably have been able to handle the hardships and death that he went through. I would have given up! I couldn’t believe how someone with a good heart could go through that. His mother was either dead or at home, while the rest of the family was hiding somewhere safe. His father was probably in the war with him. I think everyone had something to do in the war.

I believe that the government is responsible for soldiers actions during the war. I think it would be terribly hard to face your death that he outlines. I think that probably most of the male family members were soldiers also and the females stayed home. I think that it is everyone’s fault for WW2. Everyone had something to do with it even if they didn’t know they did.

The government is responsible for the soldier's actions during the war. I would never be able to face the hardships and deaths that he outlined. I can not bare any sort of death and i am fortunate that i have only had to deal with a death of one family member. I am not really sure what to say about his family. I think that everyone who fought in this war had a purpose to fight and they were both at fault.

I think the government is responsible for soldier's actions during the war. The government is the reason the soldier's were sent to war so it's their responsibility. I don't know what I would of done if i was in the situation he was in. It would of been a hard one. The hardships would of been hard to get through for me. I thiink his afmily and parents were also soldiers in the war and that is why he doesn't have them with him. I believe that everyone added their part to the war. Everyone had a little of the responsibility of the cause of the war.

I believe that the government is strongly responsible for the soldiers’ actions during the war. I do not believe I could have managed the hardships the man had outlined. I would find it unbearable. The deaths would leave me with a great unpleasant feeling of sadness and loss. I believe that his family was home in Germany, and most likely they were reading his letters. Everybody contributed to the extreme violence of the war. Though Hitler played a huge role, every soldier contributed to the war.

The government is responsible for this soldier's actions during the war. I could never do those things to another person because they didn't do anything wrong. I think his family might have fought in the war with him. I think Hitler and the people who were scared of him and killed for him were ultimately responsible for the war attrocities.

I think that the government or whoever is incharge of your group of soldiers like a captain or a general is responsible for the soldiers' actions. I don't know how people handle the terrible things in war. I think people do what they have to do to stay alive and protect the people they are with. I don't know where his parent were, but men were drafted into the are and his father or any other male in his family could have been in the war too. His mother or sisters if had any could have been working in factories to support their troops. I think that the government and government leaders are ultimately the ones responsible for war. The men in this story were drafted and had to do what their country asked.

The country's government is responsible for the actions of the soldiers during the war. I wouldn't know how to deal with that situation. I think that his parents were either dead or were at some other place at that time. I think that all of the government and the citizens of the countries fighting were to blame.

His family was maybe fighting in the war as well. I think that everyone was responsible for world war 2. It was one of the greatest wars in american history. But also one of the worst because of all the soldiers we lost. I should know my grandfather was in it thank goodness he never died in it.

Unknown said...

I believe that the soldier himself was responsible for his actions, although I also believe that the state government where the boy worked should be held liable for the soldier’s actions during the war, as well. Everyone is responsible for their own actions, even when there were other contributing factors, so the soldier is responsible because he physically played his part in the war. In addition to the soldier, the government is quite responsible for the soldier’s doings because they were the ones who took him into Hitler Youth and molded him into Nazi follower.
If I was in his situation, which I hope never to be in, I would simply do what I have been brought up to do. I have been raised in a family with strong morals, and they enforce the importance of kindness, love, and compassion. It is clear that the man being interviewed would have never taken part in the war if he was shown the wrongs of Hitler and the Nazis because he is truly kind at heart.
I didn’t hear the man say anything about his parents, but I would guess his father or older brothers were out fighting throughout Europe. His mother or sisters were probably working in factories or had evacuated the town. It is likely his entire family supported Hitler because the boy was a member of Hitler Youth.
In the big scheme of things, I think that Adolf Hitler was ultimately responsible for the war’s atrocities. This must be true because he instilled the terrible values into his people, he lead them into being dishonest and untrustworthy, among other things, which brought about World II. This statement backs up Ann Frank’s thinking that everyone is truly good at heart, even when her family was forced inot hiding by her country.

Wes said...

I think that on a large scale Adolf Hitler controls the soldier’s actions. Although on a small and more controlling base a soldier is always controlled by their commanding officer. Even though, a lot of actions that many people perform are decided upon by them self, and only them self.
In a situation like the one that this man endured I would do whatever it took to get home and be in peace. I would follow orders, fight for my country, and do everything else that the situation called from me.
His parents/family could be anywhere, they could be still in their home, out of the country, or if they were minority or Jewish in a concentration camp.
In the long run, Hitler is the reason for everything that has to do with WWII. Hitler started it all with the concentration camps, then expanding his empire, and finally the war started.

During the war the government is responsible for this soldier's actions. I would not have been able to handle death in any situation it is hard and very heartbreaking. His mom was probably at home or hiding during the war. His family if they were boys probably in the war themselves. The war is on the shoulders of the person or country who started it and the people who agree with it.

it truly hah to very hard and frustrating for him.

In my opinion, the government was responsible for the soldiers actions during the war. I think it was a very confusing time period for a lot of people and some became overwhelmed and some became soldiers because they were a little frightened of what might happen if they didn't. I'm not sure I would know what I would do when placed in a tough situation like that. It is difficult to predict ones actions when faced with death and enormous hardships. I guess the only way to truely know would be if you were faced with these problems yourself.

I think his family may have helped in the war as well. Part of his family may have been involbed with the war or even dead. It is hard to say for sure where his family was. I think that in a way pretty much everyone was responsible for the war. Everyone played their own part in the war whether it was big or small. Not one person or group can be blamed, but the people as a whole.

I believe that his parents and family were in the war or they must have been dead. You can not realy pin point out anyone or blame anyone by them self ww2 was a group effort and more then one person was in on it.

I see that just about every student who posted to this blog said that the government was responsible for the soldier's actions during the war. Therefore, I am going to be different and say that the soldier himself is responsible. No one can be forced to do anything. It may be easier to just do what someone else commanded you, but it's not always necessarily the right thing to do. I have never faced any deaths other than my dog, Peppy, about seven years ago. But that is definitely a much less hurtful death. If any of my immediate family passed, it would be very hard for me to overcome my grief. Although I think that everyone was at fault for the war, I think that the government and Hitler were most responsible.

░Madison~♥~Fitch░ said...

The person responsible for their actions was Adolf Hitler. Many Germans only fought because the Nazis made fighting look glamorous. They also said that they'd give them food and they would give them jobs. I would cry every night and just hide in a closet or under my bed. I'd be so scared. His parents both died. That's one of the reasons Hitler hated the Jews. Adolf Hitler was responsible.

I believe that the government is responsible for the soldier’s actions in World War II. The government told him were to go and what to do. I believe it would have been a difficult experience in his shoes. I do not know what I would do if I was in a war, mostly because I am not the most aggressive person. I would have a major problem with the death and hardship of it all. His family was far away from him because the government took him away from him.

The government is responsible for the soldier's actions because they made him fight in the war.

I would never be able to fight in a war, because I would be absolutely terrified. I couldn't handle seeing people die or get injured.

His parents and family were back home, far away from where he was.

Everyone is responsible for wars. If people would actually think before they acted, the world would be a much better place to live.

I believe that the government was responsible for the soldier’s actions during the war. I say this because of what he said, “The government told me how to do it, what to do, and when to do it.” If they didn’t say anything to him, he would have made different choices which would have affected the overall outcome of what happened. I believe that I would have been able to go through the hardships and deaths that the man in this video did. I don’t know if I would’ve given up or not because I’m not the kind of person to give up; no matter what happens. His mother was either at home or dead, whereas the rest of this man’s family was in hiding in a safe house; except for his father. His father probably went to war with him because it was mandatory. I believe that the governments were ultimately responsible for the war because the people want to defend their country but not all of them would sacrifice their life for it.
