Exempel på sådana händelser kan hittas t.ex. på
Yad Vashem hemsidan. Man kan nog lugnt anta, att israelerna har varit noggranna i sin dokumentation kring de fall som hedras där. Några utdrag från artikeln om Anton Schmid:
Anton Schmid was born in Vienna in 1900. He owned a radio shop was married with one daughter. When the Second World War broke out he was drafted into the German army (in 1938 Austria became part of Germany and therefore all Austrians were now German citizens). He served first in Poland, and after the attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 in the newly occupied territories. Schmid was stationed in Vilna, and put in charge of the Versprengten-Sammelstelle – the army unit responsible for reassigning soldiers who had been separated from their units. His headquarters were situated in the Vilna railway station, and like all the people in the area, he became witness to the persecution and murder of the Jews. Soon rumors spread in the ghetto that an Austrian soldier was being friendly towards Jews. It was Schmid who used every possibility to help the Jews. He employed them as workers for his military unit, provided papers to some, got others released from the infamous Lukiski prison, used his army trucks to transfer them to less dangerous places, and went as far as to shelter Jews in his apartment and office.
As time went on, Schmid's exploits got bolder. He was warned by Tenembaum that knowledge about his help to the Jews had widely spread and that he was in grave danger. But Schmid persisted and went on helping the persecuted Jews. He was to pay for his humanity with his life. In the second half of January 1942 he was arrested and court-martialed for high treason. After being found guilty, he was executed in April 1942.

Huruvida motsvarande fall finns dokumenterade när det gäller SS-soldater vet jag inte.
