Imagine it’s 1942 and you are a normal German soldier, walking down the road calmly. You are with your buddies and you are happy that things are going fine. You remember your parents back home and the girl you love, back home. You are just cracking some jokes and having fun. You pass a tree of flowers which looks beautiful and untouched by the bloody war.
You stop for a cigarette, with your buddies. You feel little relaxed as you have had very bad days yet you survived. You want to go back home and you think, I will be there soon.
Silent, serene and you enjoy a puff.
*Bang*
You’re shot and you are dead. The tree(the beautiful, untouched by war) you just passed had a sniper. He had the scope on your head and ready to take the shot.
