An old man lay peacefully on a chair next to the fireplace, holding a small box in his arms, and on that wall hung black and white photographs, and on the table opposite him, a model of a tank. On the other side of the tank model, a medal was placed. The TV on the other side of the room was playing the news. It was snowing heavily outside the window.

The scenery in the snow is magnificent, and the sky and the earth are so blue that only a patch of silver can be seen, as if the whole world is decorated with silver. A gust of wind blew, and I saw the snowflakes falling one after another, and the snow fell on the roof, which was like wearing a white top hat, which looked quiet and peaceful.

Suddenly, the knock on the door broke the peace of mind, and woke up the sleeping old man, who opened his sleepy eyes, rubbed his eyes, grabbed the handle on the chair, and slowly stood up. He sighed and laughed at himself: "Alas, when I am old, I am useless, so I will fall asleep after sitting for a while." Here, don't knock. ”

The old man wanted to walk quickly, but his old body made him stagger. He went to the door and opened it, and when he heard the man knocking at the door, he said, "Old man, I have come to see you." The old man smiled at him; Xiaohua, you're here, hurry in, it's cold outside. With that, he pulled Xiao Hua into the house. But when he saw the things in Xiao Hua's hand, his face immediately changed, and he said a little unhappily; Didn't you say? Don't take things, the next time you're like this, I won't let you come, and when you go back, bring these things back for me, don't you hear. ’

Xiaohua saw that the old man was a little unhappy, so he said with a smile; 'Old man, today is our winter solstice day in China, we want to eat dumplings, I can't have a good holiday alone, so I ...... All I bring is food. When the old man heard this, his face softened a little: "You are still a student, you should buy some school supplies with this money, or use it for study, it is not easy for your parents to send you to study abroad, you have to study hard!" Don't share them to them. Okay, Xiaohua nodded solemnly.

Seeing Xiao Hua like this, the old man nodded, then sighed and said; "You can't bring anything with you next time. I'll go get some drinks, and you sit first. "Don't don't, don't, Xiao Hua said quickly. Why are you embarrassed to let you come, you tell me the place, I'll go.

The old man smiled and shook his head, although I am old, but I have not used it to this extent, and as he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen. Xiaohua had no choice but to follow behind this stubborn old man. The two walked past the study where the old man had just stayed, and Xiao Hua inadvertently looked in and saw the medals and boxes that the old man had placed on the table. Said to the old man; 'Old man, you're here again'

The old man turned around, nodded to Xiaohua, and said slowly: "When people are old, it is easy to recall, I am already very old, and I may go to hell in a few years, I know that I have no life to go to heaven." Don't say that, Xiao Hua hurriedly interrupted him; "You are a good person, and you are physically strong, it will not be a problem to live for 20 years," the old man smiled bitterly, did not speak, and took Xiaohua into the study.

The old man opened the small box on the table, which contained some badges and photographs, and at the bottom of the box there were several damaged medals. When Xiao Hua saw the items in the box, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide. The old man looked at Xiaohua and said slowly; When I was younger, I fought in World War II, I was a tank soldier, or radio operator to be exact. Xiaohua nodded, I know. The old man continued; 'I am from the SS unit, and the full name of our division is SS-Pa

“Das Reich。

Xiao Hua was a little stunned at the moment, the old man walked to the chair and sat down, Xiao Hua reacted and looked at the old man blankly. The old man looked at him and said slowly; When I went to the front, I wasn't as old as you are now, and I was only 20 in '43, and I went to the battlefield with great expectations, but I didn't expect it to be like this. At this, the old man's tone grew heavier; Mankind's desire for war far exceeds its desire for peace. Xiao Hua shook his head a little confused, the old man smiled bitterly, and continued; "I still remember what I thought, my last night in Berlin, ah"

At a speakeasy in Berlin, six young men are chatting and laughing at a wine table, all dressed in dark putty coats and dark green military hats with eagles and swastikas.

Cheers, they put down their glasses and burst out laughing. I wiped the beer from my lips and said to them with a smile: 'Celebrate the defeat of the Russians at Kharkov by the Empire, and if we continue like this, we will soon be able to defeat the Russians once and for all, and then turn around and defeat the British and Americans.' I said I was excited, and I couldn't help but fight. Hank, who was next to me, hurriedly pulled me down. But there was also a frenzied glint in his eyes.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of fierce air raid sirens. We put down our glasses and looked straight ahead with solemn expressions. After a while, the sound of air raid sirens began to slowly weaken. Alan, who was sitting next to me, said with some resentment; "What does the Air Force waste do with and what is eaten? Actually let the British plane reach the sky over Berlin, they should all be shot" Khid, who was sitting at the front, shook his head, they should have inadvertently deviated from the course and happened to hit Berlin, and now they should have destroyed our anti-aircraft fire. I don't know which city is going to suffer again, I thought sadly, and at that moment Anique, who had been silent, suddenly said fiercely; "That dead fat pig should have been shot, and he's calling Jemai a ...... anyway

I quickly covered his mouth and whispered; 'Are you dying?' If there was a Gestapo next to us, you would ...... 'But Hans, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, and tears flowed. I could only pat him on the shoulder and whisper comfort. He was a native of Cologne, and his whole family had died in the British bombing of the Ruhr area, and the day before, our air marshal had promised that not a single plane would fly over the Ruhr area. After a while, he returned to normalcy and nodded at us, staring at the ceiling with a fierce look in his eyes.

Kehid shook his head and whispered; 'Tomorrow is the battle, tonight is the last indulgence, let's not remember the sad things,' said Hank, sipping his beer; "The Russians are all crazy, they are all fighting like this, and they still don't surrender." After saying that, he put the wine glass aside, and said casually; 'Let our wartime controls become more and more stringent. Now there are restrictions on drinking.

Alan said firmly: 'For the sake of the empire, it was all worth it. Then he drank it all. At this moment, Ossola, who had not spoken, said lightly; 'The Eastern Front already needs to use the last men and troops in Berlin, the front line must be difficult, everyone must be mentally prepared. It's nothing, Arnie has adjusted her mood at this time, let's give them a little color to see, let them know how good we are. He then drank his beer. Inspired by him, we shouted Long live Germany, long live the Führer. Quickly emptied the glass. Then they hugged each other. We were assigned to different units, I was sent to the SS-Pa

"Das Reich's division drove tanks and was assigned to the Southern Front, and this time is probably the last time we will meet, so we cherish all this, and we cherish this parting wine. Although I don't know why the empire wants to assign us to different regions, and troops instead of one. At that time, I had a desire for war and a yearning for meritorious service, and I had no ideas or any thoughts of my own. Now it seems that the empire can no longer support a large front at this time.

But, I, we had no idea what we were going to face. I don't know what I'm going to lose. All we have is the longing for war, and mankind's longing for war is far greater than the yearning for peace, but only after experiencing war can we understand the preciousness of peace.
