As you all know, the Volkssturm was envisioned by Hitler to arm every German civilian with super cheap weapons, like the Volkssturmgewehr
to fight the invading Allies.
When manpower ran short, children from the Hitler Youth were also recruited to fight.
Do you think the children from the Hitler Youth were heroes?
Do you think the Volkssturm would have been heroes?
Or does the word “hero” only apply if they fight for your side?
