Soldado Alemán

Soldado Alemán en las trincheras durante la primera guerra mundial | cortesía La Tercera.

   La frase completa es "la guerra es un lugar donde jóvenes que no se conocen y no se odian se matan entre sí, por la decisión de viejos que se conocen y se odian, pero no se matan", dicha por Erich Hartmann (1922 - 1999) y tristemente recordada cada año que pasa con una guerra tras otra en cada país que a veces ni imaginamos que pueda entrar en conflicto militar.

  Hartmann fue un combatiente en la segunda guerra mundial y posteriormente se convertiría en periodista, las dos guerras mundiales se cobraron la vida de millones de personas, muchas de ellas jóvenes pues eran el grueso de los ejércitos beligerantes, muchos de ellos fueron reclutados a la fuerza o bien con "propaganda y un sentimiento extremadamente nacionalistas por todas partes" se enlistaron sin tener idea realmente del infierno al que iban a ser enviados.

  Resulta interesante que la primera guerra mundial comenzara por la tremenda competencia económica y política entre los principales países Europeos y que algunos de sus gobernantes eran parientes (el Kaiser Guillermo como el zar Nicolás eran primos hermanos de Jorge V de Inglaterra - ondacero.es).


  The complete phrase is "war is a place where young people who don't know each other and don't hate each other kill each other, by the decision of old people who know each other and hate each other, but don't kill each other", said by Erich Hartmann (1922 - 1999) and sadly remembered with each passing year with one war after another in each country that sometimes we do not even imagine could enter into military conflict.

  Hartmann was a combatant in the Second World War and would later become a journalist. The two world wars claimed the lives of millions of people, many of them young as they were the bulk of the belligerent armies, many of them were forcibly recruited or with "extremely nationalistic advertising and sentiment everywhere" they enlisted without really having any idea of ​​the hell they were going to be sent to.

  Is interesting that the First World War began due to the tremendous economic and political competition between the main European countries and that some of its rulers were relatives (Kaiser William and Tsar Nicholas were first cousins ​​of George V of England - ondacero.es).
