Did a British Solider Really Spare Hitler?

In 2010, I came across the story of Adolf Hitler’s life being spared by a British soldier at Marcoing in September 1918. That soldier was identified by Adolf Hitler as Private Henry Tandey who between the 25 August and the 28 September 1918 was awarded the Military Medal, the Distinguished Conduct Medal, and the Victoria Cross, becoming the most decorated private soldier to survive the First World War. Yet the more I read about Henry Tandey it seemed to me that he was known more for his alleged compassion towards Hitler rather than for his undoubted bravery. To me, this seemed to do him a disservice and in 2012 The History Press published my biography of this extraordinarily brave man.
