I do think of that ... there were more than likely several 17, 18, 19ish year old aged kids in those bunkers that more than likely weren't there fighting because that is what they really wanted to do, or believed in. Most of these kids were scared to death, and had no sense of the evil they were forced into combat to defend. In the vast majority of cases there were no options for these kids, and the closer the allies came to Berlin, the younger, and older the defenders became. It would be really hard to kill a 14 year old kid, but somebody had to do it "IF" it came down to it.
 
Nicholas Oresko is an American Hero that I could not have been, I would have died.
 
Thank you, Nicholas Oresko ... May you RIP.
