Georg Diers, holocaust survivor of Germany. My parents parents parents are farmers and butchers of Wiefelstede. 1939 I volunteered for Waffen-SS, Stormtroopers and I was accepted at the age of 14. We formed the first battalion of the emerging Nordland Division and relocated to Austria. We were half Germans and half Norwegian, Dane, Swedes, Finns. We left via Ukraine to the Mius river, there I fought through the winter on the Mius. Summertime the advance continued south across the Don river to the Caucasus. I was 15 years old I became the commander of an anti-tank gun which was assigned to companies at the time. September 1942 I was severely wounded and they wanted to amputate my arm. I said no and they sent me to Vienna. After 8 weeks in a traction bandage I was able to keep my arm. I severed as instructor in a reserve company. 17 years old I felt the strong desire to re-enlist in the front line, I joined Panzerwaffe and transferred to Yugoslavia. We provided armored support for the units. We received the first supply of the King Tiger tanks. Beginning 1944 the invasion was underway and we were scheduled to go east. 18 years old I was commander in the Panzertruppen. January 1945 the vehicles were loaded in a series of freight trains and unloaded at the front on an open track under enemy fire. We were involved in defensive battles all the way to Arnswalde. There we were surrounded by the Russians and held out 2 weeks for reinforcements infantry to arrive. The defensive campaign continued to Stargard and we organized a convoy 13 kilometers long. Russians were already behind the convoy. We crossed the Oder river with the tanks and went up on the Black mountains. There an incredible number of tanks arrived, 450 tanks attacking us. The entire vanguard turned back again with strong infantry support. The infantry retreated first then the tanks also drove back. A supply unit arrived. A grenade damaged a King Tiger tank and we drove to Berlin with tank in tow. April we marched to Stadtmitte and here the Russians tried to break through. One day I receive a radio message from the Reich Chancellery there are 30 tanks moving to the Reichstag building. Immediately we go. We heard heavy radio traffic of the Russian they were firing on the Reichstag. A Russian reconnaissance patrol penetrated the building establish themselves on the middle floor and are firing from above with anti-aircraft artillery. May 1 there were large number of wounded Germans in the basement of the Kroll Opera house. There were tanks parked in the streets, I shot down the 3 tanks. I went to Victory column then Zoo bunker to get information from the combat commanders about the center of Berlin. Russians killed a large number of people there. I looked through the telescopic sight at the Brandenburg gate and see the red flag with soldiers in grey uniforms. I went back to the chancellery there was a fire in the garden, they said, we’re burning the Fuhrer. I went to doctor Goebbels. There were 5 high ranking officers, General Mohnke, General Krebs. We discussed the break out of the government district with the combat group together heading north. As the heaviest tank I was to take the lead. At the Weidendammer bridge behind us a big column of vehicles and tanks was gathering. Buildings were on fire. The first street we got murderous fire, driving top speed. We continued to the second ring of Russians on Schonhauser Allee, here General Barenfanger organized. We drove under the subway, Russians were firing on everything that tried to cross the street. 19 years old, the General asked me take the lead, destroy the machine gun positions on the right. 100 meters on I drove into German mines. A vehicle as large as the King Tiger draws all the weapons onto itself, General Barenfanger told me blow up the tank and bring your boys home. He said he had spoken with General Krebs, we are released from our oaths by the death of the Fuhrer. I continued on foot and came across a new breakout group. An assault gun company with their tanks, we headed toward Oranienburg to a forest. There we destroyed all the tanks and went on foot, exchanged our uniforms into civilian clothes.
