Hagen Vockerodt served 1,638 days as a soldier in Bundeswehr operational zones. From Kosovo and Bosnia to Thailand and Afghanistan, he was repeatedly confronted with death and injury. As a medic and paratrooper, he treated wounded soldiers while under fire. Amidst the devastation of the tsunami in Banda Aceh, he disinfected mass graves and fell into the hands of rebels. While fighting the Taliban, he prepared himself to use his final bullet on himself. He was forced to watch helplessly as a young Afghan girl was stoned. How could a person endure all that? He found a way out of his nightmares at the Invictus Games in The Hague. As captain of the German team, he discovered a new kind of courage and strength within himself. The Games became a turning point in his life.
