Troops of the Third Reich fought all over Europe, North Africa, the Atlantic Ocean and the Middle East during the Second World War. They earned a formidable reputation as being professional and proficient soldiers regardless of the reasons why they fought. Here we look at four soldiers who fought under the swastika and whose combat effectiveness earned them the begrudging respect and of course fear of the enemies they faced. These are four of the deadliest German soldiers of World War Two...

Hans-Ulrich Rudel, During the war, Rudel was credited with the destruction of 519 tanks, as well as one battleship, one cruiser, 70 landing craft and 150 artillery emplacements.[3] He claimed 11 aerial victories (earning flying ace status) and the destruction of more than 800 vehicles of all types.[3] He flew 2,530 ground-attack missions exclusively on the Eastern Front, usually flying the Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" dive bomber.[3]

Hans-Ulrich Rudel - Germany's Most Decorated Ace had shot down nine Soviet aircraft with his Stuka, an incredible achievement for a dive bomber, but not the only dive bomber pilot who managed to do so. In the Pacific theater an American pilot flying a Dauntless dive bomber also shot down at least two Japanese Zeros during a dogfight no less, and purposely did a head- on collision with one; the heavily built Dauntless sheared part of the lighter Zero's wing off sending him spiraling into the ocean, so technically not a shoot down, but a darn good clipping.☺

Erich Hartmann shot down 7 P-51 Mustangs over Ploesti, Romania. Read his autobiography. He was also offered other opportunities to fly the Me-262 and FW-190 among others but he was comfortable with the Me-109, which he said was as good as any other airplane if flown in the right combat environement and he was dedicated to the men who served under him and remained in Russia because he chose to do so. Staying in late war Russia voluntarily was bravery beyond the call of duty imo.

There were no "Nazi Soldiers" only SS (presented as Elite ideologically motivated troops) and Wehmarch (German Army). If the "Nazi Soldiers" were there then this would apply to the SS. SS-troops were known for their ideologically motivated ferocity in battle and have been responsible for many war-time atrocities against the civilian population. P.E. the Nazi Death Squads were mainly constituted out of SS-troops.

First of all, the Poles had no friends except the Fnglish. Bankers in London and Paris financed the Magistrala Weglowa and the harbor of Gdynia. This to exploit Polish coal. Coal at that time was quite as important as oil nowadays. It is very likely that the bankers in London and Paris orchestrated this war because they feared for the return of investment. For a few billion sterling they orchestrated a war that cost 60mil dead in the end.

A story about Erich "Bubi" Hartmann you wont find in a history book: In the newly founded Luftwaffe and the delivery of jet planes to the Bundeswehr, he and his comrades received training in the U.S. on those planes. The U.S.A.F. unit he was assigned to, had a tradition by that time. It was, that every trainee on the planes should write down his kill score [WWII and Korea] in, lets name it "golden book". Erich Hartmann did that in one night, writing all of his 352 aerial victories including type of enemy plane, date and time into that book. When he presented it the next day to the commander, they dismissed this tradition immediately. :)

@@shcuf95 The story is true, he told it his mechanic, who happened to be the father of one of my comrades in the army. I don`t know how he had gathered/collected his record kill, but it doesnt matter, you can easily look at his records nowadays.They are also not forgotten. And by the way we are talking round about 1956/57 and by the way I give you another thing about him, you won`t find in a history book: His most unconventional bombing sight was a chewing gum! We`re talking about the fifties still!
