As a young soldier

[New Leaf]

I appear to be a young German soldier in ww2. I am walking along a road somewhere in a town that has been heavily bombed - the road is destroyed really. I am wearing a green army coat and gloves and a peaked cap, I think. There are the remains of public buildings and glass everywhere. There are fires burning and everything is covered in dust and rubble. I can smell petrol and rubber. Vehicles are moving and bombing is still going on - must be Allied planes. I think it is a German town. I can hear German being spoken which I do not really understand. There are dead bodies and I am afraid. I think I am called Gerd- I do not know why.
I only had this dream once (10 to 15 years ago) and I had been to Modern Germany as a young man (in 1981) before having it. I did study German history at school and of course I have seen a lot of films so I have an open mind. But the dream was very real and I felt I was in his body and I woke and felt very unsettled.
If I do have a past life, I hope that he or others have found some peace. By the way, I'm English and 59. And yes I hate war and do not regard military organisations too highly.

Welcome little leaf!

The Ordnungspolizei wore green/green with black cuffs. They were sent to mostly the Eastern Front. The Wehrmacht wore green too, I believe (not too sure on that as I was in the SS, so maybe another PL Wehrmacht soldier could correct me, if I’m wrong).

Do you have an inkling on what front it might have been on? Western or Eastern? The Reich was quite large by mid 1942, and most occupied countries (well as far as I know) had to have German as a second language or a basic understanding of it.

I hope you find healing,

Thank you for posting [and joining] New Leaf. That special-feeling that you mentioned is a topic in another thread, you might try your hand at describing it - I can't, but I know what you are saying. Was there more? What did that dream cause you to do, like did it get you to look into reincarnation, or have concerns about the England/Germany switch?
