"As a Policeman in Hitler's Wehrmacht" is a poignant work that documents the memoirs of Martin Böttcher, a member of a police battalion during World War II. The author, Joachim Böttcher, recounts the experiences of his father, who, due to an order from Adolf Hitler, was not drafted into the Wehrmacht but had to fulfill his military service in a police battalion. This battalion was deployed in various European countries such as Warsaw, Norway, France, and Yugoslavia. The narrative offers a unique insight into the war from the perspective of an ordinary soldier who, despite his rank as a police sergeant, became embroiled in combat. The memories are marked by the challenges and realities of war, which took place both on the battlefield and in the Berlin police precinct. The accounts are not only historically valuable but also emotionally moving, prompting reflection on human experiences in times of war.
