Hitler was spared because of his kindness.
The bloody fight between the two armies gradually subsided. Suddenly, a wounded German soldier appeared in Tandy's sight. The German soldier who limped out of the position also saw Tandy's gun pointed at him not far away. However, the wounded soldier was obviously exhausted. He neither raised his gun nor panicked. He just stared at Tandy expressionlessly, as if waiting for the inevitable final moment. "I did take aim, but I never shoot wounded soldiers," Tandy later recalled the dramatic moment. "I let him go." The young German wounded soldier nodded slightly, and then slowly Gone far. History suddenly took a turn at this moment. The German corporal named Hitler and the remaining German troops successfully retreated to the rear.
Henry Tandy was born on August 30, 1891 in Leamington, Warwickshire, England. In 1910, 19-year-old Tandy joined the Green Howards Infantry Regiment and began his military adventure. In October 1914, Tandy's unit participated in the bloody First Battle of Ypres.
