Karl-Heinz Rosch

Karl-Heinz Rosch was a young German soldier who died saving the lives of two Dutch children. Although he is best known for his final act, he had previously helped civilians in the region in various ways. For example, he warned them of impending German inspections or the presence of high-ranking officers and personally helped them hide prohibited items. These actions could have led to his death sentence for "Landesverrat" or "Zersetzung der Wehrkraft."
