Werner Goldberg was a half-Jewish German, a fact that he didn't realise until he was 14 years old as he was baptised and raised as a Christian. However, his father was a Jewish convert to Christianity.
On December 1, 1938, Goldberg joined the German Army. He took part in the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, and it was from here that Goldberg became, by accident, the poster child for Hitler's Army.
A war photographer sold his photograph to a newspaper, and it appeared in the Sunday edition of the Berliner Tagesblatt with the caption "The ideal German soldier" ("Der ideale deutsche Soldat").
It was later used ironically perhaps, on recruitment posters during the war, as Goldberg epitomised the imagery of a strong Ayran warrior.
However, because of his ancestry, he was later removed from the military after the occupation of France, and he spent the war working in a factory producing uniforms. On one or two occasions, he saved his father from deportation, and by war's end, only he and his father survived.
