I am so pleased that you have broken the chains that imprisoned your family to show love and kindness. This is the only way. My best wishes for you and your son!

@@InternalMind I didn't say that they did.

Your parents sound like a couple of assholes. My grandfather served on the beaches in Normandy and my grandmother was an immigrant from Poland. Her entire family was wiped out and she met my grandfather who was a GI before we began initial withdrawal. They were both excellent people who showed all of their children love. My father and his siblings had a poor but happy childhood and gave us something slightly better but similar. There was trauma and they were definitely traumatize considering the only spoke of the war once or twice and when they did it was shocking. However, once they got back home they did their responsibility to their family and their children. I feel like your parents let you down and I'm sorry for that. God bless you. For some trauma can make us and for others it breaks us. 🤷

Thank you for sharing your parents story, they sound like lovely people.

Thank you for commenting on this. It is from people who actually lived through things that will teach everyone about what war does. All of the little things, the complexities, but also the simple truths.

Hungary always had been a close ally of Austria for decades joining the "fight against Bolshevism" very early and sending troops to former USSR to fight Stalin. This happened at a time, when US Governments supported Stalin in order to expand his realm. Anyway, they learned afterwards... Back to the situation in Hungary in the 1930s and early 1940s. Quite a Lot of Hungarians joined persecution and prosecution against "Jewish partisans and terrorists", killing hundreds of thousands of people, including children. Either this happened directly on site in the towns and villages as "porgroms", i.e. in a very brutal way that shocked even Eichmann (who actually complained to Himmler about the extreme violence and asked for advice in how to handle a mob slaying children in the streets...), or by deporting persons to concentration camps. Why such escalation, why such hatte crimes? Background had been "Treaty of St. Germain", a system of repression, economic damage and land loss imposed on Hungary by the allies of World War 1, quite close to the stipulations of "Treaty of Versailles", but even worse. A lot of Hungarians considered Jewish elites in Western countries to have created and organized all trouble they experienced after World War 1. By the way: In Hungary, German troops did not fight until end of 1944, and never fought against Hungarians and did not commit any athrocities against Hungarians. In fact, Wehrmacht soldiers had been helping Hungarians to defend country's population against the Stalin's "Red Army". that had been raping, slaying and looting everywhere in Eastern Europe as the Western allies did their best to support Stalin until 1947... Sad but true.

Yes, at the end of the war, they recruited old men and youngsters in to the "Volkssturm", meaning people's storm. The Hitlerjugend (Hitler's youth) was not a military organization, but educational, i.e. for brainwashing them.

Unfortunately, because ww2, most germans have to specially nice to everyone and feel sorry for a crime they didnt commit

the USSR declared war against Germany because you Germans invaded them. they won't stop at Poland unless they beat the shit out of your brain! What Britain could say about that? get themself beaten by the USSR too??

because even though the soviets couldn't capture great Britain by land, they might be able to starve them out, they weren't going to risk a war against Germany and USSR

no, ritko. The USSR invaded poland as part of the Molotov Ribbentrop treaty in September 1939, so with the germany invasion still going on. That is what Schlomo meant, not the "reinvasion" of Poland in 44 and 45. Btw here is the answer: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Polish_military_alliance there was a secret protocol "for mutual assistance in case of military invasion from Germany"

all they wanted was a reason to declare war on Germany. They needed two world wars to prevent a strong Germany.

Good question. The answer lay with the wording of Britain's treaty with Poland --- UK response upon an attack by Germany against Poland. From a practical viewpoint, UK had it's hands full with a German war; a simultaneous war against the Soviet Union would have not been winnable. It's of interest to note that in both world wars Germany never had any designs on the UK; it was the UK which declared war on Germany both times. Treaties lead to WWI involvement, but the UK was the only initial combatant which entered that war for no other reason than to see what it could grab for itself. The same is true for WWII. All wars have a political cause.

All because a people allowed their governments to do whatever they wanted without accountability. Just like today.

​@@oldman1734 I don't think V2 rockets were even seen over London. However, the sonic boom from the V2 was heard after the rocket exploded but nobody understood what the second boom was. Furthermore, citizens of London were told at first the V2 detonations were cooking gas explosions. (Didn't want to terrify the locals... nevermind they had survived 5 years of the blitz and about a thousand V1's.)

My dad was in the Air Force as an aviation mechanic we never got to go with him to other countries like Germany where he was stationed. We stayed on the base in the US.

Funny. Now, during my four times of visiting the US I thought the same about America.

Aren't you getting cause and effect a little confused here? That's in no small part thanks to the campaign of denazification after the war. Plus eastern Germany never recovered from the war, not fully, not even to the present day, after being subjected to Russian occupation. That same threat of Russian agression was also a unifying factor that people could get behind.

history tells that not only productive but also destructive.

That's just being human.

My family and I, as a 7 year old, moved to Germany in June of 1956. My father helped administrate a Catholic orphanage and as a result ,we traveled through Bavaria quite often. My siblings and I became friends with many German children. We lived there for four and one half years. The thing that made the most lasting impression on me was the still devastated regions through which we traveled and regularly visited. The destruction and immense rubble piles still lining the streets of many cities and what appeared to be industrial areas was still clearly visible. The shortages of many basic commodities which we took and still take for granted was wide spread. Yes, I agree that, the German people are a great and industrious people and as we know, with the incredible resources made available through the Marshall Plan, Germany healed itself and prospered. But let there be no mistake, ten years after the war Germany was still crawling out of the rubble. We still have shoe boxes filled with pictures of that period in case the revisionist want to say different.

So many posters go on about this generation being less strong minded than that of the time of WW11. But it's an illusion. The same mental traumas happened to people then as now.

The German people tend to be far too deferential toward their government, both before WWII, and today, allowing hordes of Islamists into Germany to make havoc...While technology changes, people don't. In addition, the ' It can't possibly happen here ' mindset doubtless delayed many Germans in the 1930s from fleeing Germany in time. If they had not departed Germany by 1933, it was likely not going to happen. Dachau was opened in 1933, just months after Hitler came to power. Additionally, IBM ran the records division for the camps, and had an office adjacent to the front gate at each and every camp. IBM refused to sell their technology to the Germans, and insisted on leasing them the equipment and supplying the techs for the duration. Seldom, if ever mentioned, like the cannibalism of the Japanese Army.

I think one of the most poignant things of this period must have been the brilliant resilience of the german women to both deal with life, kids, food, water, fuel for cooking, heating, clothing etc as well as having to support an utterly dejected male population, one hell of a burden

xzqzq: are you a Zionist or a Zionist Jew? Its a dead giveaway when someone has "hordes of Islamists" anywhere in a post. (I'm a Christian, not a Muslim...but I don't HATE Muslims).

Nun du bist einfach ein Opfer der alliierten Umerziehung, klar hat man mit den Lügen die man über uns Deutsche erzählt so seine Probleme, aber so ein paar Aussagen aus der damaligen Zeit änderten das für mich alles. Zitat: “Wir haben diesen Krieg durch Gräuelpropaganda gewonnen und wir fangen jetzt erst richtig damit an. Wir werden diese Gräuelpropaganda fortführen, wir werden sie steigern bis niemand mehr ein gutes Wort von den Deutschen annehmen wird, bis alles zerstört ist, was ihnen Sympathien in anderen Ländern entgegenbringen könnte und bis sie derart verwirrt sind, dass sie nicht mehr wissen, was sie tun sollen. Wenn dies erreicht ist, wenn sie anfangen ihr eigenes Nest zu beschmutzen, und zwar nicht widerstrebend sondern mit Übereifer den Siegern gehorchend, nur dann ist der Sieg vollkommen. Es wird niemals endgültig sein. Die Umerziehung bedarf gewissenhafter, unentwegter Pflege wie ein Englischer Rasen. Nur ein Moment der Unachtsamkeit und das Unkraut bricht durch, dieses unausrottbare Unkraut der geschichtlichen Wahrheit.” Ein alliierter Umerzieher zu Prof. Dr. Friedrich Grimm (Verfasser des äußerst lesenswerten Buches “Politische Justiz - die Krankheit unserer Zeit“, Bonn 1953) “…Wir machten aus Hitler ein Monstrum, einen Teufel. Deshalb konnten wir nach dem Krieg auch nicht mehr davon abrücken. Hatten wir doch die Massen gegen den Teufel persönlich mobilisiert. Also waren wir nach dem Krieg gezwungen, in diesem Teufelsszenario mitzuspielen. Wir hätten unmöglich unseren Menschen klarmachen können, daß der Krieg eigentlich nur eine wirtschaftliche Präventivmaßnahme war…“ James Baker - US-Außenminister 1989 - 1992 (DER SPIEGEL 13 / 1992 “…Sie müssen verstehen, dieser Krieg gilt nicht Hitler und dem Nationalsozialismus. Dieser Krieg wird wegen der Stärke des deutschen Volkes geführt, das ein für allemal zu Brei gemacht werden muß. Es spielt keine Rolle, ob die Deutschen sich in den Händen eines Hitler oder eines Jesuiten-Priesters befinden…“ Winston Churchill britischer Kriegspremier-Minister (Emrys Hughes, Winston Churchill - His Career in War and Peace, Seite 145). “…Wir hätten, wenn wir gewollt hätten, ohne einen Schuß zu tun, verhindern können, daß der Krieg ausbrach, aber wir wollten nicht…” Winston Churchill 1945 “…Ich möchte keine Vorschläge haben, wie wir kriegswichtige Ziele im Umland von Dresden zerstören können, ich möchte Vorschläge haben, wie wir 600.000 Flüchtlinge aus Breslau in Dresden braten können…” Winston Churchill “…Geheimdokumente enthüllen: London wies 1940 Friedensfühler zurück. Das britische Kriegskabinett unter Winston Churchill wies im Juli und August 1940 mehrere von deutscher Seite und neutraler Seite kommende ‚Friedensfühler’ zurück. Dies geht aus bisher geheim-gehaltenen britischen Kabinettspapieren des Jahres 1940 hervor, die jetzt nach der vorgeschriebenen 30-jährigen Sperre freigegeben wurden…“ “Augsburger Allgemeine” vom 2. Januar 1970 . “…Was wir im deutschen Widerstand während des Krieges nicht wirklich begreifen wollten, haben wir nachträglich vollends gelernt: daß der Krieg schließlich nicht gegen Hitler, sondern gegen Deutschland geführt wurde…“ Eugen Gerstenmaier - Bundestagspräsident ab 1954, während des Krieges Mitglied der „Bekennenden Kirche“ “…Unser Hauptziel ist die Vernichtung von so viel Deutschen, wie möglich. Ich erwarte die Vernichtung jedes Deutschen westlich des Rheines und innerhalb des Gebietes, das wir angreifen…“ General Dwight D. Eisenhower zu Beginn des Angriffs an der Röhr (Nebenfluß der Ruhr im Sauerland) “…Hitler und das deutsche Volk haben den Krieg nicht gewollt. Wir haben auf die verschiedenen Beschwörungen Hitlers um Frieden nicht geantwortet. Nun müssen wir feststellen, daß er recht hatte.

Shawcross “Stalins Schachzüge gegen Deutschland”, Graz, 1963 „… dass die Signatarmächte des Vertrages von Versailles den Deutschen feierlich versprachen, man würde abrüsten, wenn Deutschland mit der Abrüstung vorangehe. Vierzehn Jahre! lang hatte Deutschland auf die Einhaltung dieses Versprechens gewartet … In der Zwischenzeit haben alle Länder … ihre Kriegsbewaffnung noch gesteigert und sogar den Nachbarn Geldanleihen zugestanden, mit denen diese wiederum gewaltige Militär-Organisationen dicht an Deutschlands Grenzen aufbauten. Können wir uns dann wundern, daß die Deutschen zu guter Letzt zu einer Revolution und Revolte gegen diese chronischen Betrügereien der großen Mächte getrieben werden?…“ Lloyd George am 29. November 1934 im englischen Unterhaus, Englands Premier während der Kriegszeit (vgl. Sündermann, H. “Das dritte Reich“, Leoni 1964, S. 37) „Ich will den Frieden - und ich werde alles daransetzen, um den Frieden zu schließen. Noch ist es nicht zu spät. Dabei werde ich bis an die Grenzen des Möglichen gehen, soweit es die Opfer und Würde der deutschen Nation zulassen. Ich weiß mir Besseres als Krieg! Allein, wenn ich an den Verlust des deutschen Blutes denke - es fallen ja immer die Besten, die Tapfersten und Opferbereitesten, deren Aufgabe es wäre, die Nation zu verkörpern, zu führen.

@@jimelliott6200 I also saw the cathedral and stayed in a house just next to it. it was not damaged (or not much).

@@jimelliott6200 Yes, that is correct. The pilots were ordered not to destroy the cathedral.

The Economic Miracle Years. But I’ve heard people say that many nazi administrators and officials were still needed and ran things. I have heard it claimed that denazification was not fully completed until the mid 1960s.

Thanks to the Marshall Plan

Saul Juarez. This quote is quite prevalent and I’m trying to figure out the alternative.Are we to assume that it would be more accurate if the particular time period would be elucidated,let’s say by Goebbels or Streicher for instance?

@@NomenFugazi if loser get to write history then germany would've won both world wars and after their victory against russians in berlin they decide to split their country in to east and west order to help both the russians and te allies in their rebuilding effort.

@@idodeclare6804 Yes, that’s about it.I’m so tired seeing that cliche of a quote as a comment to all WW2 related postings.Nobody is keeping them from writing their own take to the best of my knowledge.

Germany was better than today's Germanistan, the Germans i met told me they feel confused and lost sometimes. Gods...please help them

I'm so tired of this brain dead quote. Most genocides commited by victors and we steel know they happened. Like native americans genocide, armenian genocide, pontic greek genocide, kongolese genocide, great irish famine, holodomor, etc. It's not how public perception of history works.

They are American puppet therefore

So you invade them with third world islam.

Thank you for sharing that history...your history. So unfair that you had to bear some of that shame over something that really had nothing to do with you, other than the accident of birth of where and to whom you were born. Coincidently, I was born exactly 5 years after your sister, on May 4, 1950.

The Russians beat you pretty good. Your people the shoemakers, the tailors donned those dramatic fancy nazi uniforms and began to fantasize they were superior race. All those fantasies were finished by the Russians! Btw the Germans are not Aryans. Aryans are Persians and some people of North India. Read what Aryan is.

@@jakeb8298 a gazillion russians died

@@visionist7 so what? The nazis were defeated and that crazy austrian clown hitler committed suicide. Russians wreaked havoc in berlin. Hundreds of thousands of nazis were marched to siberia the gloomy sad faces of german generals is a sight to be happy at, almost all worked to death in siberia, germany was ruined. the superior race lol. Look at the so called superior race german prisoners marching defeated spat upon by ordinary Russians! The retired german chancellor now works for a russian oil company! The head of the arrogant bows forever.

And yet Germany is look up high amongst most countries. Swallow that up

good decent comment,, thanks for that

How come germans are in trouble '' now '' ?:)) Germany is the strongest economy of Europe today lmao .And everyone knows that WW2 was not only their fault .

qpae123 Why? Islam.

Mark Thorne Yes islam is causing trouble to the germans,

Thanks grandad but you speak garbage and obviously know nothing. For 1946 this is a very interesting and an amazingly unbiased little film. Hey they got Elvis. Germany isn't in trouble it's been an amazing transformation and some of my best buds are from there. Most Europeans esp Danes and Dutch still hold quite the grudge though. Made in Germany is the most respected imprint on earth.

Nor the original historical landmarks. God Bless the German people...beautiful, resilient, courageous.

@@bonniebluebell5940God Bless Germany

yeah and they were all fine

Was your mother’s family Jewish?

@@johnindo6771 probably not. The nazis killed a lot of slavs as well.

@@johnindo6771 the Holocaust was not just against the Jewish people there was at least 6 million other people murder in the Holocaust. My maternal grandmother was a Holocaust Survivor. She was the only one of her family to walk out of the Holocaust alive. My family is Christian.

@@timpanlimpan yes they did, sadly all my family down to one.

That's so interesting. How do you feel about the fact that that is exactly what they did to Jews, but with the focused intention of annihilating them completely in the most barbaric way imaginable?

@@aeryinaviolet who did what? The prussian refugees? Dont be so hypocrital, you americans were interested what happended to the jews in the midlle of the 40s, when it was already a question of money! So if you want someone to care for the jews, make it by yourself , your country made a genozid and kept the whole land which wasn't even yours!!! And you will tell us germans about moralitiy? Whats that, a bad joke?!

@@aeryinaviolet those things are fake, you have been deceived. you spend your breath on defending the oldest enemies, murderers, and blasphemers of Christ and his church. Repent.

@@aeryinaviolet two wrongs dont make a right asshole

@@felixmalotka6680 hey i'm a jew from russia I think yall immoral cunts

That’s true, but humans like conflict. If we don’t have conflict to entertain ourselves, we make it.

Maybe think of the little Jewish children, ona and a half million of them that the Germans murdered.

@@stevenrichards3699 children maybe. Old people voted for the Nazis and cheered. They were accomplices.

@@patriciabrenner9216 you can care about both, children are children innocent of their adults they don’t know anything better.

@@sofiabravo1994 I care zero for German children then. I am rather happy that at least the Germans paid a bit for their crimes! At least they saw what killing children does.

@@patriciabrenner9216 Your lies have been completely dis-proven during the Zuendel trials in Toronto.

I was in Hanau from 89 to 91. Just visited Point Alpha this past fall.

Then it’s a good job the good guys won eh?

@@TesterAnimal1 As a famous song has it: The good guys lost.

Well, check out how the Germans treated occupied France. Many most? French opinioned it was the best time in France, ever.

@@BasementEngineer not if you were a Jew!

My school teacher ( German, history, religion) , who has not been a Nazi but was a Christian in Prussian tradition, said : they did it not because of humanity, but because they needed our help against the Sovietunion and the communist ideology. This interest was put higher . Otherwise there would have been the Morgenthauplan, which is getting realized actually. The strategy is always : US in, Russia out, Germany down. This means now tearing ungrateful ( to Russia) Germany in a war against Russia. Anyhow I appreciate the humanity of the American people very much. This is different from the policy of their government, they mostly do not know about the real reasons , brainwashed like the whole collective West.

Agreed, and there’s a subculture grown here in America that also needs reintegration into society.

Everywhere, the common man suffers the most!

History seems to always repeat itself !!!! Fucking sad

You can thank leftist liberal loons for that.

People will never learn.

Well at the time half of it recovered. The other half, under Soviet Russia, continued to suffer

@@gabriel_swift8847 This is a very interesting perspective. But, why did Hitler commit those atrocities to the Jews then? Could Germany have done things differently after WWI or was it to late for Germany to reestablish itself and an other war was the only way?

@@gabriel_swift8847 XDDDDD Tell the milions of people murdered by germans in racist exterminations that it is their fault for existing and giving germany a bad name

@@gabriel_swift8847 Thank you for this perspective. I have often wondered about the heartbreaking existance after, especially for anyone who was decieved, or an ordinary person living maybe an already difficult life who didn't agree, but got swept away in the hatred of the time, being dragged thru the mud of their own government. This is why we must not hate the people of Russia, and of course many other citizens of aggressive countries. We don't choose where we are born, and as much as we want the pride of good things we didn't really do ourselves to be attributed to us, we don't want the condemnation of things that aren't our fault. I pray we treat each other as human beings, and not a label preattached to us.

@@gabriel_swift8847 BS. The mistake of Germans was to allow a racist and vindictive Austrian to destroy them from within feeding them racist ideology that they promptly and willingly swallowed. So as long as some Germans do not blame their propaganda prone brains, Germany will always be subject to falling for narcissistic propaganda narratives. The next person to control their minds and destroy their country and all they have work so hard to achieve is around the corner and is most likely am American "with strong Germanic Roots" looking to "avenge the German people".
