This man refused to salute Hitler. During a parade in Hamburg, a crowd of German workers stood as Hitler passed, and one by one they raised their hands. However, August Landmesser refused to salute the dictator. August fell in love with a Jewish woman, which was considered a crime under Nazi law. His refusal to salute made him stand out, and soon after he was arrested and accused of betraying the regime. He was imprisoned, then sent to a punishment battalion where he was killed in action. #shorts #historyshorts #ww2 #warfacts #ww2history #didyouknow
