The Brits are masters at making understatements, I've always found it quite humorous.

Mark seems quite biased when it comes to covering the Allied war crimes compared to the Axis war crimes. He would call torture by the Soviets a mere "interrogation" but that by the Germans "a brutal war crime". I don't think it's accidental or simply "British humor".

@@madgavin7568 Not when they are demonizing their hated enemies. Only when they discuss their own war crimes.

@@MWcrazyhorse In the Battle of Drogeda the British murdered many Irish.

Even the interpretation of Hitler's resurrection with spectacular British help in the 1930s is a great British 'understatement' of our logical way of thinking.

@@MrSUPERHUGE the movie is a celebration of the end of the USSR and rubs it in as all soviet movies would do if they won

@@MrSUPERHUGE the funny thing is, all cold war propaganda that is anti-USSR is actually true

​@@therobro5089 There are no winners in nuclear war even kids know that except for warmongers and agenda pushers. And No, USSR had some respect for their enemies go watch 17 moments of Spring for example. The funny thing is that US cold war propaganda had many things in common with Nazis. If you go watch films like Der ewige Jude or Jud Süß you will find out that germans portrayed their enemies like primitive evil mob. They mocked hell out of them. Same thing that US did in films like Red Dawn, Rambo III, Firefox, Born American, Invasion U.S.A., etc. Some Bond movies fit here too with their Generals Gogol and Pushkin)). The agenda in this movies is pushed so primitive and all enemies are driveling idiots, of course US always has crushing victory. But what's the point in defeating an idiot? Although the US is happy with this, so I have no further questions.

Quite a lot of them headed to Finland, Denmark and France after the fall of the war. Many were handed back and died in the gulags.

They probably would have been fine if Western governments hadn't betrayed them. What an absolute horrific thing to do.

There's no place for dirty traitors, they deserved what they got.

heroically escaping :D late war nazis sure were pathetic

"heroically" bruh

Because nobody in this world like or will trust traitors. Germans despised them and did not hide it, used defectors for dirty work when they did not want to derty their hands. The laws of war are harsh.

That actually happened alot - in Normandy there were large number of soviet nationals in german uniform who surrendered to the western allies without resistance, they were shipped to the USSR right away and disappeared. I have found no information for what happened to them, but as someone who have lived in the former soviet block I can make a guess.

Soviet "liberation"

Most were Captured in Slovenija and others came in to Italy to surrender to the British, others made it to internment Camps in Austria.

They were lucky. But thousands of Russian emigrants who lived in the territory of the Soviet occupation in Eastern Europe and North China ended their lives in camps.

​@@robertevans8010 Many did not make. British in Austria returned many refugees back to Yugoslavia, since communist in Yugoslavia "promised" all refugees will be treated fairly. There were masses of people, some from the south Balkans , civilians who just wanted to run away from communism...Most of them were treated brutally and ended in mass graves...Sometimes buried alive by Yougoslav army. It was only after 1992 that new government os Slovenia opened the graves....Please also see Pliberk, Beliburg massacre....

Yes, a lot of them fought in the Russian civil war and in WW1. There were a lot of Russian cadets there that later formed the Russian Protective Corps. When the Soviets came to Yugoslavia, a lot of them were executed, there is a big cross in Bela Cerkva, the place where their bodies were buried. But a lot also made it (thankfully) to the US.

Every time

No need to wait.

I do. So far I've had no reason to go back and change it.

Yes

I do!

@@JaredKaiser24 good

@Олег Северов And what did the Russians say to the Germans? "You will bend to our will or die."

Lol. Why would they ask that? The Soviet army lost tens of millions of soldiers in ww2. Much more than any other country. The USSR was saved by the brutal winter. The military leaders were all dead. They were humiliated in Finland by one lone hunter. The soviet army was a mess at this point. If it wasn't for the deadly winters and the fact that they had millions of bodies to throw at the Nazis, WW2 would have ended very differently.

@Тепляха Sooner or later they would have. Hitler simply betrayed Stalin first. Sooner or later, their alliance was bound to fail.

Yes, the White Army had support from royals. Japan was a monarchy.

Now that would be an interesting video.

@@Kanovskiy Dr. Felton has already uploaded a video on the subject, FYI...

@@AndrewAMartin and I expected no less than that from our bright Dr. Thank you.

@@Kanovskiy But the number was small, from the "White Army" and not "Red Army", Chiang Kai-Shek could flee to Taiwan, for the higher ranked/known White Army soldiers it was harder, but never really understoof that White and Red Army thing, I think White Army is only the term used for troops which remained loyal to the Tsar ("Zar" in German) when the Revolution started in 1917?! By 1922 already Stalin was commanding a group which should support the attack on Warsaw, but Stalin couldn't take Lwow as he wanted and he came to late and the communists lost and even were driven back by the new Polish state...a wonder that it took 17 years before Stalin got that territory (not Warsaw, but still some cities and area) the area back, my grandma and grandpa (only know mothers side) were both born during that period, grandma in 1923 in Vilnius (Wilno in Polish, Capital of Lithuania?) and 1926 my grandpa was born in the "Lemberg"-Area, but I don't think in the city... so strange, Kaliningrad was German, Lithuanian Capital and Cities in West Ukraine (and maybe smaller parts of Belorussia?!) were maybe parts of Poland and/or the 3 baltic states? My grandma without stalins mistake would have been born in 1923 in LIthuania as a polish minority, but I guess together with Russians the largest minority there...but ofc according to the Butterfly Effect she wouldn't have been born than at all

@@ichibanmanekineko basically screw everybody who doesnt respect personal freedoms, and freedom of speech and thought

@Paol Vrobel Western europeans not official supported germany, France allowed to use colony airports but not declared war ti soviet union. They had many volunteers from France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain and Denmark bot none of them was really forced to join the war.

Was he wrong to do so? They were traitors who joined a military and government that was virtually genociding Slavs and other ethnicities in the Soviet Union.

@@devonmolina5200 That's questionable. I'm a Russian Jew, both my grandfathers fought in the Red Army, and believe me, I have no sympathy to these Hitler's dogs. However, lots of foot soldiers from ROA who didn't participate in any atrocities on the territory of USSSR got a more severe punishment than the German POWs whose arms were fully covered in blood. It's always a hard question what is fair when we speak about the war.

USA sent millions of dissidents back to soviet union to be wiped out in soviet concentration camps. Most of them were women and children. Some of the people who fought against russia may have been hitler fans but most likely most were not and either just wanted freedom or simply wanted to live. Chances are they would wind up dead if they had not volunteered.

@@LTPottenger they’re all dead now but when I was a teenager in the early 80’s there were a couple of Polish ex soldiers I knew who fought for the British. They had been POW’s captured by the Russians in Eastern Poland and sent to fight for Britain getting here on supply convoys, now empty, sailing from Murmansk. One of them told me he was in an internment camp in East Ukraine when news came over the tannoy that the Germans had invaded. He said the whole camp, including the guards, started cheering.

@@LTPottenger We should have taken out The Soviet Union when we had bomb and they didn't.Proves there was a lot of Communists in our government.

He probably had Polish citizenship before 1939 - they were exempt from being sent back to the USSR.

@@stevekaczynski3793 no he had been born in Ukraine however I believe he had come to the UK under a different name.

Yes, which is why Russia today calls them right wing extremists. They despise communism.

@@Welshman2008 Very true. This happened frequently. Many Russian emigres did, including Alexei Nikolaevich Romanov and other Grand Dukes.

Wonder? Why? Guess why some of the Waffen SS formations (Charlemagne comes to mind) fought till the bitter end. Nothing to lose, no mercy to expect, even when caught by the Western allies. No wonder that guys who already knew Stalins paradise fought like rats when trapped.

@@sozialistischespatientenko3797 Spot on.

@@sozialistischespatientenko3797 And died like rats.

@@cactuslietuva Well, they were outnumbered so it's a given. But at least they died fighting, and that's better than what was waiting for them if they just surrendered. I personally respect soldiers who have the guts to fight until the end, no matter their motivations. It takes courage.

Yea it was total BS

Because there was absolutely no chance that Britain and France would win a war against both Germany and the Soviets, the Soviets had the largest mechanised army in the world at the time. France and Britain also counted on Germany and the Soviets coming to blows in the future, which of course they did. The Nazis were the greater of the two evils at the time, and the bigger threat to the allies.

@@TheTfrules Also they were worried that such action could cause the Soviets and Germans to ally directly as they had signed the Molotov Ribbentrop pact recently.

@John Cliff Don’t worry. With communism spreading in west like a wild fire these days they’ll learn quickly what hardship is.

@John Cliff The end game is the same but different tactics. They learned if you go in guns blazing you will get resistance. If you go in with a suit and a smile and tell them your here to help them you can over take a nation without a single shot fired. Don't be so naive.

So which Camp did he work at?

Also Mark, could you do an episode about the 26th Maori Battalion in North Africa or the New Zealand Division in their push up through Italy, especially the campaign at Monti Casino along side the Poles. Cheers from Kiwi Inoz.

Preparing for the endgame

Those Russian red army soldiers who were judged to be cowardly in action by Commissars were regrouped by Commissar as "suicide commando" and place in the very front for charging in the following attack as punishment. Almost of none of them survived with inferior weapons.

@@darcychu9652 Where’s your evidence for that? The movie Enemy at the gates lol

@@roadhigher Well, they did though. Nazis were quite anti-communist in their ideology as you probably know.
