One soldier described the experience of guarding the fence: Have you ever seen 4,000 people running towards you full of hate and yelling “Allah Akhbar”? What started out as a minor annoyance increasingly became a major hazard as protestors began to send hundreds of kites and balloons with incendiary devices across the border.
Alas, the Nazi guards at the Treblinka concentration camp had no one to confide in about their sense of dread when Jewish prisoners rioted in August 1943 and similarly ran towards their guard posts. Poor Nazis, I can only imagine their fear and despair at that moment… 🙄
