In my opinion a solder is a solder and all soldiers are heroes. They may be your hated enemy at one point, but when the war is over they are to be respected and you should understand that they were fighting for their country and fighting most of all just to stay alive as your own soldiers were.
This stands even more so whenever there is a draft in effect.
Anyway, I am proud of all our young American boys who went over there and gave their best. I also very much respect the German soldiers and everyone else who fought in the war.
I read Topp's short bio on Uboat.net and it very much seems he was a good man and contributed a lot to society after the war.
That's all I have to say about that!
