Yeah. I bet the next chapter is gonna be awful. It's harsh, but cowardice has always been the greatest crime a soldier can commit and I doubt the heroine of this section is gonna be feeling merciful :(

Thanks as always Lohrian.
A picture is worth 1000 words. Reading about the eastern front vs visual depictions are completely different.

I personally feel like the visuals "soften" the impact to a degree, but yeah, yikes. And I know from Hardcore History that historically, typically the vast majority of casualties come from when a line breaks and everyone starts running away. They can't fight with their backs and heads turned, they're not organized so there's limited ability to coordinate and support each other, and the still-organized opposition just hacks into them all freely, been that way for thousands of years.

So running away is often considered selfish, since it theoretically threatens the whole group, besides abandoning whatever ideological grounds for conflict there may be.

Also, I bought the book this manga is based on, and my mother finished reading it already

Honestly, the "cowards" are imo the ones that have the most humanity left.
Deserting is justified, war sucks ass, no matter how much the poople in charge and the generals glorify it. The world would be a much better place if every soldier deserted

They are literally fighting against getting fucking annihilated.

The entire German war aim is Lebensraum hich is obtained by ethnic cleansing and genocide. While Antisemitism is another part, the main war aim was to Germanize Eastern Europe and thus carried it out as a war of annihilation. And if you read about Generalplan Ost (the Nazi plans for the east) that shit is nuts. The Germans are fighting against people they believe to be literal subhumans.
