"Karl-Heinz Rosch served as Kanonier. On October 6th, 1944 he was
stationed with his platoon near a farm in Goirle, the Netherlands. When
his unit was attacked by Allied troops, Rosch notices the two children from the farmer playing at the courtyard and took them to safety in the
farms basement. When he came out again he was hit by an enemy grenade and was instantly killed. Although he is best known
for his final act (rescuing the children), Rosch had previously helped
civilians in the region in various ways like warning them of
impending German inspections or the presence of high-ranking officers
and personally helped them hide prohibited items."
