I'm not supposed to be here. War is for men, not for little boys, not for girls pretending to be little boys... But what choice do I have? My brother is sick so he cannot fight, yet they were going to send him to the battlefield anyways. The Germans are cruel this way. They make their young, old, and sick fight a battle that they began. But what choice do I have? I am a German and it is my duty to keep my country alive. If my brother can't, then I can.
