Daveisha Francis’s Reviews > Daniel Half Human: And the Good Nazi > Status Update

I made a huge mistake here😭. I was not reading this book at all. I confused this with The boy who dared (the book I actually read).

Looking at these pictures, he was such a baby. He should never have been tried period. And most certainly not as an adult.

But Helmuth, was smart, he stood for what he believed in and didn’t regret his choices at the end, even if some were not the best. He died doing the right thing, and at a young age, kept God at the centre of it all. Because of his choices, his friends and brothers got to live and move to America.

16 years old. Tried as an adult, tortured and starved. Executed. 16 years old. There’s no humanity in any of it. Hitler and every Nazi was devoid of if. Because you couldn’t hurt and kill people in that way and not be evil, rotten to the core. I hate it.

Karl recounted that Helmuth gave him a wink and a grin and that’s how he knew he kept his promise of taking the blame for them is so sweet and so sad. And because of that he knew what to do in his interrogation and got a shorter sentence than Rudi.

And after his execution they sent his mom a bill, for the his prison time, execution costs -whatever that means!!! And tv e cost to ship her the invoice, how outrageous. How cruel.

Aw, he did save them. He went about the trial in such a way that got only himself sentenced to death while his friends got imprisonment. Still sucks, death for simply telling the truth in a desire for freedom. Broken world.

I know it’s not his fault. What they’ve done to him is so inhumane and disgusting. But he gave up his friends, got their names beaten out of him. I was really hoping he could hold out and save their lives.

Disgusting! Human beings. They are human beings and should have never been treated this way.
