@Jordan Sharpe Is the comma button broken on your keyboard?

@@petersmith3566 " We didn't love enough. " So wise and profound from you , sir. If the world should listen to you , peace would rule. My brother was a ship's pilot on the Panama Canal. Jack has always loved people, and enjoyed being on ship from a different country for one day, or for two, depending on the weather. His two favorite ships : Russia and China, both from Red China and from Taiwan. The officers and men always welcomed him warmly. The Russians were so poor that they used newspapers for toilet paper. On one Chinese ship, he was trying to convey instructions, and in a very kindly way. One man spoke a bit of English and translated for my brother what an officer was saying about him. The man said that my brother was "very humble." I shall take this as a great compliment. Aldo, i shall ask my wonderful Chinese son-in-law about it. Jack always has said that he believed that as one person to another, we all have more in common than not. I believe that to be true. It is often the governments who live in attack modes. Thank you, Mr. Smith, for your great understanding of the problem. I had a German-speaking uncle who guarded German POWs in the Midwest. He said they were just regular guys as everybody else.

There are also extremely brave young men who rebel and defect against their country's dumb wars. Remember that.

If you read the story. You would know. Soviet soldiers released almost all the soldiers of 3rd Reich German. Under the tribunal were only senior officers like Majors, Captains, Colonels, Generals and etc. Ordinary soldiers were released to their homes after the surrender in Berlin 1945. Some senior officers were sent to their homes after a few years after the war. It tells you, son of NKVD Officer.

+Thomas Villermann have you ever heard of Gulag? My grandfather was young and very low in the military hierarchy, still he spent 9 years in Gulag after the end of WW2. The russians kept as many as they needed to run their labor camps. Between '41 and '45 the russians captured 3,15 million german soldiers. 1,1 millions of them died while in captivity. The other 2 millions were kept up until the "last tenthounsand" came home 1955. So yes, the russians finally released nearly all of the prisoners, but you put it like almost all of them were sent home right away. I am not trying to agitate against russia, it's just that your point is simply not true.

Tomas Villerman the soviets held all soldiers regardless of rank and to them the more German men they could kill the more of germany they could take and do as they please with.

Alex Bridgeman, despite German casualties in WW2 are officially estimated to be 4.3 million by the German government and up to 5.3 million by some other sources?

My grandfather's brother was taken prisoner by the Soviets as well. They took him to a gulag in Siberia where he spent years after the war until they released him. They barely had anything to eat so most ppl died from various diseases or just simple malnutrition. He actually survived because he had a leather belt so when they had nothing to eat he actually ate his belt which he shared with another guy...that saved him. It's really incredible and unimaginable to what lengths they had to go to survive.

Scheisse not the bottle

What a load of utter nonsense. You pacifists make me sick. Are you completely morally bankrupt? The Nazis and the allies were the same where they? Everyone’s at fault it doesn’t matter who the aggressor is? Good luck with that you fool. I’m sure you’d love living under a facist state wouldn’t you. Your naivety is pathetic frankly.

@@TheSealOfTheRose Pacifist? I served in the Australian Army for 15 years. Infantry Soldier in 6RAR.

In which case don’t parrot out these moral relativist platitudes about ww2. It very much does matter which side you’re on. The Nazis needed defeating. It wasn’t young men fighting and old mans war at all. I’ve heard that used to describe ww1 but never ww2. In fact the older politicians at the time didn’t want to go to war they tried to appease Hitler as long as possible.

The E.U is a disgrace. The war was fought to preserve the self determination of nations, not to simply abrogate it later on voluntarily. It’s a good thing Britain is leaving the EU I believe other nations will follow suit. I don’t see the need for revision of our ideas Surrounding the last war. Fascism isn’t patriotism it’s the cult of authority. Freedom is an Anglo Saxon invention, with an emphasis on the Anglo part of that phrase. The Teutonic mind is too blinkered to even understand the concept of freedom. Hence why Germany has been so pro EU.

That is why I said Anglo Saxon with the emphasis on the Anglo! The German mentality is not suited to freedom the way the British and American mentality is. They have no tradition of it, they like being told what to do. The afd do not believe in freedom they are authoritarian. You are being hoodwinked into accepting authoritarianism in the guise of anti establishmentism. It doesn’t matter about the Saxons being a northern Germanic tribe. That was a thousand years ago. The best thing that happened to this Island was the Normans giving us our law and the fact we had a parliament and a constitution centuries before any of these other pathetic countries. England has been in a poor state for a long time because of lousy leaders. We have a promising conservative government for the first since mrs Thatcher. We have left Europe because we can learn nothing from them. In Every Generation the nations of Europe have attempted to band together and form some form of consensus union that prevents freedom and it has always fallen to we British to stop it. King Phillip tried, king Louis tried, napoleon tried, the Kaiser tried, Hitler tried and the EU have tried. They are all the same. We beat them all and will continue to do so. Fascism is not a response to leftist expansionism it is another form of the same thing. It’s all socialism it’s all rather disgusting, only traditional Conservativism works and none of this populist Europeans have the faintest idea what that looks like because they haven’t seen it for hundreds of years.

@@ashamancito4630 no, you're probably one of those americans that assume everything. in those times sharing a bottle of cognac or a few cigars was like giving someone a luxurious dinner nowadays, which made them loyal by their free will, not by the effect of drugs or alcohol, though some decided to treat their soldiers to "panzerschokolade", or chocolate infused with methamphetamine.

@@canadianradiochemist4465 I am not, look who is making random assumptions. The french regularly supplied their men with champaign or wine, while the German rations were mostly beer or wine, Russians got vodka of course. Cognac being a more costly alcohol does not change the fact, that it was used the same way other kinds of alcohol were. It is the superior officers job to make sure the solders fight. In this case treating the boys to something special was better than using force. Panzerschokolade was way more common than you seem to think. It was another way of drugging soldiers to make them more effective by keeping them awake for longer. Giving soldiers mind altering substances to make them fight is one of the oldest military traditions there is. Alcohol being the most popular of course.

Because this nation wanted to exterminate the Poles according to their genocidal plan "Master Plan for the East" (Generalplan Ost). Because according to the insane genocidal plan "Master Plan for the East", the Nazi nation actually wanted to exterminate a large part of the Slavic population of Poland and the Soviet Union and enslave a small part after the successful conquest of the Polish and Soviet territories. That was a plan to carry out various genocides against virtually all Slavic nations.

I don't think he ever made it to the Gulag. It's said he returned home at age 21. Enlisted at 17 - first theater being Afrikacorps in 1941. That means he was 21 in 1945. The trip to Soviet Union and back would have taken a couple of years at the very least. So I think he escaped Red Army custody while still in Germany.

I suspect he got away before he entered a gulag, he sort of hinted at it when talking about the tiny compass he had, he was probably still in the soviet occupied part of germany or very close and just slipped away and started walking home.

Said the first thing that came to his mind, was how clean it was. The only complaint he had ( it's not really a complaint ) is he wished he had only gone for 2 weeks and not 3. I can see why he’d feel that way? A single guy going all by himself? He said, he absolutely loved Germany but 3 Weeks was just on the edge of being there too long. That is a long time to be in a completely different culture overseas. He also said unlike here, when he would go out to eat and have a few drinks at a Pub or Bar, it’s not like here.

Its impossible to deny there was "War Fever" In Germany, in late 1930's and early 1940's, the Germans steamed through western Europe with only small casualties and the Russians retreated all across the Eastern front. Naturally the Germany people were overcome with patriotic emotions and believed they would win the war within a few short years, this soon began to wane after devastating losses in the Eastern Front and the loss of North Africa and then the subsequent invasion of Italy and France and the German retreat in the east. As soon as the Germans started having heavy losses and losing ground the German people were hoping for a quick surrender and for their boys to come home. Sadly the war was drawn out and the German people saw the brunt of it.

inTHEwrongGENERATION Unarmed civilians stood no chance against the Germans. Hardly makes them heroes and certainly did not bring them victory.
