It is estimated that about 65 million men were soldiers that fought in World War I, of these about 9.7 million died; and another 25 million were wounded.
Today only 3 of those men are still alive; all very old men.

∙ 11y agoThe surviving soldiers mostly went home to Germany. However, a significant number could not adjust to being back in civilian life. These veterans often joined up with paramilitary groups called "Freikorps", or "free corps".
The Freikorps would often act a lot like police (although they usually weren't actually police) or even gangsters. Since Freikorps were usually made up of people who believed strongly in right-wing politics, they would often fight street battles against left-wing politicals, like communists. As World War I was ending, communist groups tried to take over Germany- and Freikorps played a major role in defeating them.
Eventually the Freikorps were folded into right-wing political parties like the Nazi Party. Many important early leaders of the Nazi Party were ex-Freikorps troopers.
