Henry Tandey(The Root of WW2)
In world war I Henry Tandey is the well known British soldier who received Victoria Cross award the highest award awarded to British forces.In world war I third battle on 28 September 1918, while Tandey was serving with the 5th Duke of Wellington's Regiment,and they successfully capture Marcoing for which he awarded Victoria cross award.As Tandey later told sources, during the final moments of that battle, as the German troops were in retreat, a wounded German soldier entered Tandey’s line of fire. “I took aim but couldn’t shoot a wounded man,” Tandey remembered, “so I let him go.” The German soldier nodded in thanks, and disappeared.The soldier whom Henry Tandey spared was Adolf Hitler who is responsible for world war II.Many don't know that history could have been changed on the battlefield if Henry Tandey, a British solider, had shot an unarmed Hitler when he had the chance to stop world war II in which 70–85 million people including military and civilian killed which was about 3% of the 1940 world population.So indirectly his one mistake later resulted WW2.
