He had to join the Nazi version of the Architects and Engineers guild if he wanted to stay valid as a government employee. No, I don’t think he was a vehement anti-Semite, but the formula was that Bolsheviks were evil and Jews were Bolsheviks, so even if they didn’t have arms, or were civilians they were somehow still going to destroy Germany… Let me just say that I’ve come to appreciate how easy it is to get swept up in the ferver to defeat an existential enemy. I spent 18 months in Vietnam. My job ultimately was to destroy Commies. So.

You laugh, but it's truer than you might think. Skorzeny was very keen on his Brandenburgers having English language skills, but in practice it was only really possible to have one man in each fireteam with conversational-level English. Having troops who could pass themselves off as enemy soldiers was a trick which had worked well on the eastern front, in the fighting at Daugavpils and Maikop for instance, but in 1944 it was difficult to source sufficient numbers of men with specialised skills like this: Skorzeny had doubts (justified ones, as it turns out) about their ability to withstand serious scrutiny.

It's a little surprising that the Germans didn't just drive over them with their tanks. I mean, thank goodness they didn't, but as desperate as they were at that point in the war and the way the Waffen SS operated anyways I wouldn't have put it past them.

@@c.j.cleveland7475 Their tanks might have driven over them, but then what? Only tanks advancing without any kind of support from trucks to deliver supplies, troops, etc? Great way for the unit to just get taken out quickly afterwards.

After Ardennes offensive, the US soldiers will shoot any SS soldiers/officers on sight

Yeah. Considering that the 101st was being resupplied by air, they were doing exactly what they had been trained to do: fighting an overwhelming force that outgunned and surrounded them. And they were kicking all the ass.

If you listen to the survivors of the 101st at Bastogne they say they were wearing nothing more than summer uniform and had to scrounge weapons and ammunition from fleeing US troops because many of them didn't even have their own rifles.

Sounds like a bunch of bitching to me. The 4th Armored Division are known badasses for their sweeping night movements and relentless attacks. General Wood was called "the Rommel of the Americans". They are the ones who broke through the lines after driving 150 miles in less than a day. 101st was acting as a reserve unit and all they did was sit at Bastogne and get surrounded and shot up. The 2nd and 99th Divisions were the reason the German drive failed.

@@uni4rm 'got surrounded and shot up' ..... my god, how unsympathetic can you get?! These guys held off constant attacks from veteran German units for days on end with hardly any ammo or medical supplies in sub-zero temperatures without winter gear. Pattons units had hot food, were well equipped and rode into battle in tanks!! If anyone had it easy it was Patton and his boys.

@@uni4rm "The 2nd and 99th Divisions were the reason the German drive failed." Absolutely correct. The defense of Bastogne was heroic, but the impact on the overall offensive is somewhat exaggerated in popular imagination. The 2nd and 99th Divisions actually faced and stopped the main German thrust at Elsenborn Ridge, and were against the best troops the Germans had allocated for the offensive. Despite being significantly outnumbered initially they would repeatedly maul the forces thrown against them in savage fighting that veterans of both armies later described as something out of Dante's Inferno. It's unfortunate that Elsenborn Ridge received no mention in this video, though that is completely in line with popular coverage of the Ardennes Offensive, which often has a somewhat myopic focus on the action at Bastogne. Here is what the National WW2 Museum has to say about Elseborn Ridge... "Most of the publicity for the American victory falls on the shoulders of the 101st Airborne and the map grid that centers on the town of Bastogne. And while the defense of the “crossroads of hell” was gallant to be sure, it was not the back breaker that most people assume it to have been. The real crusher to the German offensive plans in the Ardennes occurred 46 miles north east of Bastogne, in a small area consisting of a copse of small villages and a piece of high ground called Elsenborn Ridge.... ... The Germans had simply worn themselves out against the meat grinder that was the 1st, 2nd, and the remnants of the 99th Infantry Divisions. By denying the Germans Elsenborn Ridge and the surrounding territory, the American divisions had successfully blocked the main thrust of Hitler’s last offensive on the western front. With the exception of Kampfgruppe Peiper, south of the positions around Elsenborn, the German assault against the “Northern Shoulder” penetrated no further than six miles past the German border. Such was the failure of the 12th SS and its accompanying Volksgrenadier divisions that the main thrust for the rest of the offensive was shifted to the south, aimed towards the area of Bastogne. The cost of success was high for the 2nd Infantry Division. The veteran division counted more than 1,000 men killed or missing from the ranks. The vast majority of those missing would later be presumed to have been killed in action. The 99th suffered more, specifically those units in the way of Kampfgruppe Peiper. Casualties from the 99th were well over 3,000 men. When the supporting units were added to the bill, the cost in American lives to defend the “Northern Shoulder” around Elsenborn was just over 5,000 lives. The American defense of the Elsenborn region threw the Germans' precious timetable for their assault into complete disarray. Pre-planned routes of advance were denied or destroyed, German units became disorganized and strung out along miles of Belgian roads and fresh German divisions, such as the fanatical 12th SS Panzer Division, simply ceased to exist as fighting units. Because of the actions of American infantry, artillery and armor the northern flank of the German assault was never secured. The enemy would never be able to acquire the roads, bridges, and routes they needed for their success. Ultimate American victory in what would be known as the Battle of the Bulge was made possible by the actions of those in the north."

Not the individual stories, though.

Underrated comment

Band of Brothers touches on something that AH left out, namely that when Patton came to 'relieve' the 101st defending Bastogne, none of the paratroopers actually believed they needed relief. Resupplied via airdrop, they were doing exactly what they had trained to do for years: fighting a numerically superior and better-armed opponent that surrounded them on all sides. They took everything the Panzer divisions threw at them, shook it off, and asked for more.

To this day, no member of the 101st or 82nd will ever acknowledge that they needed Patton to rescue them. Balls of steel.

@@lolofblitz6468 but they didn’t

@@lolofblitz6468 Lmao, "The Carthaginians would've won if only they had more troops, ships and logistics!" You can't casually dismiss some of the most important aspects of war like that. Also, no: even with fuel, food and manpower, the allied air force would've decimated any German formation the moment they left the forest. German industry was simply too small to produce enough planes to combat both the Soviets and the Anglo-Americans.

The Ardennes Offensive probably did a lot to shorten the war. The forces that the Wehrmacht threw into it would have shored up their defenses that much more. Instead throwing them at the Allies (especially considering that the Germans didn't allocate enough fuel to even keep up the momentum of the assault if it had even been successful) meant that they wasted valuable resources, materiel, and lives and accomplished nothing except getting a huge percentage of their remaining fighting force in the Western Front destroyed. And even if it had been wildly successful (such as by them being able to capture numerous intact fuel and supply depots), it would have only stretched German lines even more, necessitating that they defend those lines with *someone*. So, either the Wehrmacht pulls soldiers out of the Italian or Eastern Fronts (thus weakening them) or they simply pull back to pre-offensive lines, again meaning that the entire campaign was for naught.

For the Allies? Not really, they had air superiority, they had logistical superiority, sure they suffered a few defeats and some casualties, but nothing that would be irreplaceable. They clearly showed that by advancing further into Germany and overrunning the Wehrmacht, pocketing the majority of them in the Ruhr, leaving the frontline wide open to rush to the Elbe, the with the Soviets agreed upon demarcationline, the western Allies wouldn't cross, leaving the East for the Soviets. For the Axis: In Short, they didn't win, so the comment for them should be "They lost and boy at what cost..."
