Feldwebel Helmi Jimenez-Paradis

On 6th July 2003, a German Army Signals unit was at the Afghan National Army (ANA) Training Centre in Kabul. A car driven by an Afghan insurgent drove at speed at the compound and blew up - a suicide bomb attack.

 

Four German military personnel were killed by the blast including Sergeant Helmi Jimenez-Paradis serving with 320 Signals, German Army.

The soldiers had no chance to avoid the suicide bomber and ultimately gave their lives.
