One claim he made was that battle between regular Wehrmacht soldiers and Russian soldiers would make a halt if a SS company made an appearance. The Russians and the Wehrmacht soldiers would suddenly be on the same side and both battle the SS. when the SS was destroyed the battle continued between the Wehrmarcht and the Russian soldiers as if nothing had happened.
Was this so or is this just some claim from one who wants to redeem himself from fighting on the wrong side?
