The man believed to have been Germany's last World War I veteran has died peacefully at the age of 107.

Erich Kaestner, who at 18 was sent to the Western Front but served only four months in the army, died in a Cologne nursing home, his son said.

The death on Sunday of Louis de Cazenave, France's second-last World War I veteran, made global headlines.

But in a country that keeps no record of its veterans, Kaestner's death on 1 January went largely unnoticed.

Its a shame to be a vet with their history...which is not fair. Its not the soldiers faults what the governemnt did.

Well that's a bit simplistic. For a start, in WWI propaganda and being 'ruthless murderers' has very little to do with it. It wasn't a war fought on propaganda, it was very much symptomatic of the national egoism which had been building since the nineteenth century - both sides were equally guilty of prolonging the slaughter. Also, with conscription, you didn't have much choice. At least in Britain, the strength of national feeling and the stigma attached to being a conscientious objector was so great as to make it fairly unusual.
As for the 'ruthless murderers', by which I presume you mean the deathshead squads of WWII - that's a bit different. The human psyche is a difficult thing to unravel, and not everything is black or white.
