The Soviet Union death were so high that there's an entire lost generation of men. Population numbers in Russia and other former soviet states still suffer dramatically today from that loss.
and the reason for so many deaths is the legacy of the monarchy... the Russian Empire was backward both in terms of technology and in terms of industry and agriculture, and the Communists simply did not have time to restore the backward country after the First World War. (therefore, the Soviet armament was not infrequently lagging behind the German, there was not enough food at the front, medicines sometimes too.) if the revolution had happened earlier, the losses could have been reduced tenfold.
Mathematics of civilian casualties in the USSR in 1942. Three Germans were killed near the village. The village was surrounded and burned down along with all the inhabitants in the number of 188 people. This is one example out of tens of thousands
With the amount of casualties the soviet union had I never thought it would be possible for a soldier in the soviet union to see the war from beginning to end
@@Nclake5485в этом видео потери Германии на восточном фронте занижены в 4 раза, потери у Немцев на Востоке были почти такими же как у Советов, но видео создано для Западных людей, поэтому тут многие смерти советских граждан рассматриваются как вина Советского руководства... Политика
@chuck_quincymrp2640 not right, if German loss was as you suggest the total Ost heer all branches the war is over in mid 1943. Country births prove thisfor year by year. Although the Bundesarchiv now admits to 3.5 million troops KIA in the East.
My grandfather (American) enlisted around 19-20 - and fought after Pearl Harbor until the end of WW2. He came back a very different man. "Shell Shocked" now known as PTSD. He died 8 years before I was born. He became an alcoholic - he died in a fox hole he dug in a snow bank 2 blocks from his apartment. I always wonder if he heard a car backfire or a gunshot and by sheer instinct dug himself in and died of exposure/hypothermia. It's so surreal. Who was he? What horrors did he see and experience in all of his service? I only know he did come across one of the concentration camps - and it broke his heart and mind. He became cruel and detached - but I still feel sorry for him. I wish I could have asked him questions. I still have so many questions that will never be answered. I know he became something of a monster after coming home once the war was over, but he served until the bitter end and deep down I know he never got any treatment or diagnosis - so he looked for the solution to his issues in the bottom of a bottle and never found any sense of peace - and that makes me feel such sorrow for who he could have been. But one thing is for sure; he was brave. He volunteered and enlisted of his own free will. He witnessed atrocities. And it mangled his soul and tore him to shreds. My poor, broken, yet courageous grandfather. If there is an afterlife, I hope he found the peace he so desperately wanted to find. 😢
now quadruple that and u have the average eastern front. Still sad for you and ur granddad. Mine fought on the eastern front and got captured and thrown into a copper mine which collapsed later.
Azerbaijan was one of the countries in the USSR, out of 681,000 conscripts, 300,000 died, almost as many as US casulties, which is crazy because Azerbaijan SSR only had a population of about 3 million. One of the men who fought in stalingrad was my great grandpa, Rustam, who was shot in the legge and sent home in 1943.
That shot of the German soldier preparing to kill the civilian holding a child brings tears to my eyes every time. I've probably seen this video 30 times.
"Tears" is a pretty wholesome reaction. I would have to say "unquenchable rage". The sort of people who did that are still around, and still hope to get a chance to do it again, to this or that scapegoat. They don't hide it. They brag about their little conspiracy theories that they made up in their heads to justify their hatred.
It's sad seeing this video talking about the long piece but then knowing how recently the war between Ukraine and Russia has started, how tensions between China and the US have grown and overall how violent and messed up the world has been getting. So sad seeing how many innocent lives are ruined do to unnecessary hate, greed, corruption, and other rediculous reasons.
Well, the war is between Russia and Nato, to be exactly. Ukraine isn't independent since 2014. That is why Russia was negotiating with USA and NATO before conflict. Ukrainians don't mind to be slaves of USA to make Russia weak and made all for war. I was ukrainian till 2020, I know what I'm saying.
It's why wars need to be nipped in the bud before it takes hold, otherwise it can escalate into something far worse and bigger, and I have a feeling that if the west didn't respond so forcefully to the Ukraine-Russian war, things might have escalated far worse. As the video points out, this is the longest we've had when it comes to peace since Roman times, at least in the sense of major peace, because clearly, wars still happen, but are far smaller in scale and will it last? I like to think so but you never know and personally, I feel if a major war does break out, it's going to be because of the US or China butting heads, basically, China rising as a power and the US not taking it too well, it wouldn't take much for it to escalate into something major, but then, the same could have happened during the Cold War and peace remained.
@@nicklibby3784 2 миллиона человек за первый год войны попали в окружение, но сколько погибло? Выйти из окружения, месяцами прячясь в лесу без возможности подтвердить свою личность , свою историю и не попасть под НКВД , с их расследованием против тех кто был в плену. . . уж проще второй раз попасть под призыв. Так у нас получаются ,,дважды убитые,, . Полицаи отдельная история , сначала они работают на немцев, потом всеми способами пытаются записаться в партизаны, а как начинается расследование - записаться в мертвые герои СССР. Да же историю смерти своих родственников невозможно 100% подтвердить. Ленинград - там самые загадочные и лживые истории. Как величайшую оплошность в планировании списали на блокаду. Сотни тысяч людей умерли , не из-за каких то немцев, а потому что старая система логистики была признана не эффективной и нужно было переходить на новую (эффективную). Ликвидировать северный центр снабжения и расосредоточить(из-за захвата такого цента осенью в Киеве, по доктрине централизованного снабжения). Вот только вся северная армия , беженцы с Украины, Белорусии, Польши , Латвии, Литвы, Эстонии все направились туда, где уже было приказано леквидировать центр поставок. Огромный промышленный город , вторая столица. Все силы на эвакуацию заводов и специалистов. Люди есть, оружие есть , припасов нет. Куда записать этих погибших беженцев? Приказ 227- ни шагу назад , пока на западе все думают, что заград отряды убивали солдат, на деле сами солдаты не правильно поняли приказ и думали, что их расстреляют. А офицеры не чуть не лучше - поддрежвивали опосения рядовых, хотя сами не знали как работает этот приказ. Слухи и страх быть убитым своими , убили больше , чем заград отряды . Есть в Ленинграде - ,,дорога жизни,, . Это маршрут через озеро , по которому доставлялись припасы во время осады. У нас в официальной истории написано, что это дорога героев, где самые смелые под обстрелами артилерии и самолетов, по хрупкому льду везли припасы. Там погибло двое моих предков. Но если сесть изучать вопрос очень внимательно, то можно обнаружить, что до дороги жизни от берега 18км, у немцев на северном направлении нет артилерии, которая бы могла стрелять на такое расстояние. Авиация? У защитников города её в 2 раза больше + ПВО с земли и флота. В статистике написано огромное множество погибших на этом пути. Но как они могли погибнуть? А если начать изучать ,, торгсин,, то сам дедушка Ленин встанет из мавзолея на красной площади , чтобы тебя расстрелять. Уж очень это темная тема. Если официально : это магазин для иностранных туристов, для обмена иностранной валюты на советский товар. Если не офицально: ломбард для обмена скрытого от приватизации на дефицитные товары. Офицально: закрыт до войны , а все причастные приговорены по статье за привышение должностных полномочий , с целью разбогатеть . Но есть в отчетах за 41й год пункт - трофейное золото . Его там несколько тонн. Откуда в 41ом у отступающей армии трофейное золото в ЛЕНИНГРАДЕ? Есть огромное множество доказательств, что в голодающем Ленинграде , меняли еду на ценные металы . Доставленную еду , для торгсина , записывали в уничтоженную под атаками врага. Но это никогда не попадет в книжки по истории.
@@sitting_nut they paid with so much blood only because Soviets let it happen. If only they cared like Allies losses would be lesser. Also Stalin was just as bad as Hitler
The song she is thinking of that refers to the average age of soldiers being nineteen was from an artist named Paul Hardcastle back in the 1980’s and was actually referring to Americans sent to fight in Vietnam.
My dad was a WWII VET..he was a field medic ...he told us that when he died he didn't want a 21 gun salute because he'd been shot at enough when in battle..he said that he even had his medic backpack shot off of him once
The average age of a U.S. veteran. According to stephan ambrose, was 26 years old. The average age of a Korean War veteran, was 24. The average age of a Vietnam War veteran, was 21.
Мой дед, кавалер ордена Красной Звезды, танкист. Дважды тяжело был ранен под Воронежем, не дошёл до Берлина 40 километров.... My grandfather, Cavaliers of medal Red Star, tank crewman, was twice injured v ery hard under Voronezh. And he was KIA near Berlin, before Victory Слава советскому солдату!
My great grandfather passed away a couple years ago. He was i think 97 years old. He was a 2x puple heart, POW in germany. He was a truck driver/mechanic and he was in many famous battles. He was such an amazing man....
The song is true. We don't have many songs about the age of defenders. If you want, I'll give you examples. My grandfather was almost twenty years old. Gunner, two concussions, shrapnel in the shoulder. He lived a happy life. He didn't like to tell me about the war. Only on the ninth of May. When he could drink a little vodka for dead friends. I'm 41, I still remember all the little things I heard. My grandmother is a minor prisoner of a concentration camp. She miraculously managed to survive. She didn't say anything at all. When she became old and died (my parents took her to their home, in her old age she could not serve herself), huge stocks of food were found in her apartment, especially dried bread. The second grandmother lived in besieged Leningrad. Have you ever cooked sparrow soup? Did you know that after the blockade was broken, there was a carriage with cats in the train train? There were a lot of rats. Rats ate corpses and carried infections. Do you know that people didn't get sick at the same time? Couldn't afford to be sick! You know that we still have an inscription on the wall: "Attention, this side is dangerous during shelling!" (the shelling was carried out from the west, from the Pulkovo heights). Read about the norms for issuing bread by cards. Would you be able to survive? The loss of a food card is death! People were evacuated! First of all, children! There is a poem by Olga Bergolz. And there were victims. A lot! Children! The "Road of Life" took place in winter - on the ice of Lake Ladoga. The air defense was working at full capacity, but it was not coping. Schools and theaters were working (you can imagine how it was, especially in winter, the first winter was -30 Celsius, the blockade lasted almost 900 days, this is an all-time record). Saint Petersburg (Leningrad) is the cultural capital of the country. Tram tracks have been repaired. Shestakovich gave a concert. The seventh Symphony was written in besieged Leningrad. Sorry, I'm talking about a sore point. If you are interested, I can tell you more. Many children reported that they were adults. Even more minors joined the partisans (watch the 1985 film "Come and See", if you are impressionable, it's better not to watch). Very, very many men have died. There was a demographic crisis after the war. There were women left. Nature made it so that after the war more girls than boys were born. We are still recovering now. As far as I know, we still have more girls than boys. And the women are very beautiful. Grandfather is an artilleryman. Grandfather is a fighter pilot. Grandma is a nurse. Leningrad: Great-grandmother - arrested a downed fascist pilot (a family heirloom is a school graduation dress made of parachute silk =)). Grandmother - miraculously escaped death in a Nazi concentration camp (Germany paid her a lot of money every month after the war). Another grandmother (half-sister) worked at the factory. Minors went to the front (they lied about their age). Female fighter pilots and female snipers. "There is such a profession - to protect the homeland." We won the war, but the USA won the war (Я не знаю как перевести с русского, "победить" и "выиграть" у нас разные - слова. I do not know how to translate from Russian. "to win" and "to win" we have different words. In one case, "victory" is meant, in the other, "a win".) I would be glad to talk to you.
There is a fantastic German TV series called “Generation War” that I can’t recommend enough. It’s about a group of friends including 2 brothers who are sent off to the war and what happens to them through the war and its aftermath.
@@nicklibby3784 you have serious brainrot. You've seen too many of your American propaganda movies, so you probably think German soldiers are all Cartoon caricatures screaming "DEATH TO THE J3WS"
when i was much younger, i worked at my dads barber shop and a lot of the clients were ww2 vets, most of them were very quiet, and never talked about the war, we even had 1 ww1 vet- he never talked about. im honored now that i got to meet them. my dad was a korea war tank commander- he never talked about it. he did say once that in one fight they were with ENGLISH TROOPs and they were good fighters.
One of the reasons why no one wants to talk about it afterwards is that not only have they experienced the horrors of war, but most of them have also done terrible things themselves. That is the nature of war. It is a mixture of guilt and repression. when my great-grandfather was dying, he was in a delirium (morphine) and was describing scenes he had experienced. this was 70 years later. we were standing by the bed and were shocked at what he had experienced. especially because he had never told us anything like this before.
one of the worst parts of the holocaust is the fact that those who perpetrated it weren't the monsters that films and TV led us to believe, but were normal people who thought what they were doing was justified. Look up the book "Ordinary Men"
True. Villains don't see themselves as such, they see themselves as heroes. And heroes are those who win, not necessarily the "good guys". I was in grade school when the narrative taught switched from "how the West was won" to "how the West was lost" (referring to Westward expansion in the US).
As a Russian, I can honestly tell you. Most citizens of the Russian Federation are sure that the Nazi regime in Ukraine and Russia is fighting against the Nazis. And all who know the reality are either dead or live underground fearing death.
Победа во Второй мировой войне была достигнута совместными усилиями стран-участниц Антигитлеровской коалиции. Значителен вклад в нее западных союзников, разгромивших и пленивших 176 дивизий. Но главную тяжесть борьбы вынес именно советский народ.
@@user-yi4pt1um9u Каждый Русский человек должен знать, что если бы не коммунисты, нацисты бы даже не пришли к власти в Германии и тем более бы не напали на Русских, уже не говоря о помощи коммунистов нацистам вплоть до 41 года. После объявления же войны, коммунисты могли сдаться немцам и сохранить миллионам гражданам жизни, как это сделала Франция, которая потеряла в 50 раз меньше человек чем СССР, при том что сдалась.

you cannot learn anything from something you didn't experience yourself, especially if something had occured quite some time ago. That's why there will always be wars. Add to that the sheer cult around soldiers, especially in the US, where you see parents proudly standing around the coffin of their son covered with the flag, that for me is pervers. As long as parents are proud that their sons are dying around the world for no reason at all, things will never change.
The best-ever documentary about WW2 is "Apocalypse: The Second World War." Takes you through it step by step over six parts. Conveys the full impact as best as I've seen.
I've watched this video myself then started watching reactions no matter how many time i've watched it the total death count always make me tear up just imagining the amount of death and the total number is horrific
Actually, there were significant numbers of soldiers under the age of 18. The Royal Navy accepted boys as young as 14, the 15 was more common. I many countries no one was looking too close at the paperwork - so many underage lads enlisted. Somewhat famously, the most decorated soldier in the US Army, Audie Murphy, coming from a poor family, he had his sister lie on an affidavit certifying his age (he was 17) and was enlisted, despite being baby-faced and his enlistment physical listing him as: 5 feet 5.5 inches (1.66 m) and 112 pounds (50.8 kg)!
A lot of children fought in the Soviet Union, in partisan detachments (pioneers), withstood numerous tortures, but did not give up. One example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Guard_(Soviet_resistance)
German soldiers are not Nazis unless they were actually Nazi party members. So, 500,000 "Nazis" did not die in the Battle of Stalingrad. This is a common misstatement/misunderstanding.
I cringe every time he says "nazis" because it makes modern generations think that every single person in Germany was a "nazi" like conscription wasn't a thing. I can't imagine how people would react if their government drafted them then everyone labeled them in a negative way.
The Weirmacht was an arm of Nazi Germany's military and were complicit in the atrocities conducted by the Nazis. This is a distinction without a difference.
The term Nazi then isn’t what it means now (neo Nazi). Nazi is just a party member. All Germans were nazi’s as it was the only party. He does say Germans throughout the videos
Well most people support the concept of collective responsibility so the whole nation is blamed for mistskes of government or aggressive minority We can see it even today
Three uncles of mine served in the U.S. military during World War II; my Dad's brother Lawrence (U.S. Army), my Mom's brother George (U.S. Army Air Force), and my Mom's brother-in-law Ken (U.S. Coast Guard/U.S. Navy). All three survived the war, although Lawrence was wounded twice, first in Sicily in 1943, then on Omaha Beach at Normandy in 1944. George re-enlisted in the Army Air Force after the war ended, finally retiring from the U.S. Air Force in 1972 after 30 years and three wars. Ken served in the Pacific fighting the Japanese.
Its crazy how both my grandfathers (paternal and maternal) are alive over the age of 90. I wouldnt be alive nor would my parents if my grandfathers had been born a little earlier and died going to war. My great grandmother lived to be over 100. Its nuts sometimes the ride life might give you. I would pay my respects to every soldiers grave every day if I could for giving Americans today what they have. Red White and Blue forever.
It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.
Именно поэтому 9 мая это праздник со слезами на глазах. Славянский народ сражался не за режимы, а за свое выживание. Сталин великий лидер. Рузвельт и Черчель признавали что им не удалось бы совладать с Германией без СССР That is why May 9 is a holiday with tears in your eyes. The Slavic people fought not for regimes, but for their survival. Stalin is a great leader. Roosevelt and Churchill admitted that they would not have been able to cope with Germany without the USSR

My dad, RIP, was a U.S. naval aviator in the Pacific Theater of operations. He flew transports. Went on to become chief pilot of a major regional airline. I worked with a guy who was in the Treblinka concentration camp. Had his number tattooed on his arm. He was Polish.
My daughter last night while watching this video said "Dad I want my hair like Sophie's for school tomorrow" 😭 bless her little soul, she is blonde but adores Sophie to death
My grandfather was 🇺🇸 Army Infantry in WWII. He was captured 4 months into his 1st tour and was a POW in Nazi captivity for nearly 10 months until he and a handful of other POWs escaped & made it back to 🇺🇸/Allied lines with the aid of 2 German soldiers that they met on the way who didn't want anything to do with Nazi Germany. In exchange for acting as their "guards" doing a prisoner camp transfer when they came up on other German soldiers, my grandfather & the other POWs would vouch for them once they made it to allied lines. One of the Germans was an artist and gave my grandfather the 2-sided sketch/charcoal he made on while they spent the night in a German jail over Easter during the escape(it's quite the adventure!). One side showed a lush valley with a stream running through it and the other side was a bombed out cityscape on fire. That piece sat alone, in honor, in a double-sided crystal frame on a small table in my grandparents' living room. My grandfather only talked of his experience to my grandmother, my aunt(his daughter) & myself due to the things he witnessed & experienced over there. He only talked to me because of a school assignment where I had to interview a WWII veteran and present that interview/paper as a speech in class. He let me take that drawing by the German soldier that helped them escape to show the class during my speech. My grandfather unexpectedly died in 1991 and my grandmother passed in 2013. When she passed, my uncle had high quality copies of that drawing made for each of us in the family. My grandfather obviously had PTSD from his capture & time as a POW which is why he never spoke openly about it. He told me a tiny bit about "life" in the POW camp which was incredibly hard to hear but mostly focused on the escape & journey back to allied lines. He told my aunt MUCH MORE, which she wrote down in her journal at the time and has told me I can read anytime and that she left it to me in her will. I haven't asked to read it yet.
Both my Grandfathers fought. My moms dad was in the US navy on a mine sweeper and my dads dad was in the British Royal armored core 7th fusiliers and was the radioman/loader on a Sherman tank in N. Africa and Sicily.
My grandmother had to give birth to my Aunt Pat in the subway tunnels during a German bombing raid on London. She never said anything about the Blitz other than it was "absolutely dreadful". She married the first U.S. soldier that proposed to her, my granddad, just to get out of the country after the war.
As I recall the Median Age was 19 and the Average was 23. That's from memory however, which is known to be unreliable. "Schindler's List" is a must see if y'all haven't seen it.
My great grandfather and great uncle both survived WW2 my great grandfather passed away in 1999 he was in the USAAF fighting in the European Theater and my great uncle passed away in 2011 He was in Navy on a minesweeper ship in the Pacific Theater
One thing I really dislike about that video, which otherwise is a very good one, is that they refer to all German soldiers as Nazi soldiers, when obviously not all of them was.
1:02 you are referring to the song "19" which is about the Vietnam war :D The songtext is: In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was twenty-six , in Vietnam he was nineteen
I watched a documentary on London recruits going in and saying they were 14 and the enlistment office telling them to come back in when they were 18. The would leave and come back in and say they were 18
Yugoslavia will always be remembered as the fire that kept burning even after being doused by water multiple times with a people that love their freedom and nation so much that they'd give their lives one after another for it.
The song you referenced was about the war in Vietnam, it douse refrance ww2 saying the average age of a combat soldier was 26, but says the average age of the same combat soldier in Vietnam was 19 which is for the most part true, due to gurilla warfare tactics used the Americans struggled and constantly needed reinforcement and so the age dropped due to necessity. Of course there were people who lied on there investment forms but that was the average ages. The song is Paul Hard Hardcastle "19"
It was such a relief to see that there were no Australian Military Deaths, New Zealand Military Deaths, and no Canadian Military Deaths... The greatest problem with the Internet today is the proliferation of RU-vid Videos by people that should be in Straightjacket's!!!
The youngest soldier to die was 13 that should give you some perspective on what was happening. the age of enlistment was 16 most didnt wait and the officers were happy to let them serve
Same thing here in the the US we have the selective service so everyone 18-25 have to sign up by law, you dont actually have to serve but in the case of an emergency they may enforce it and draw from a lottery,during WW2 we had a draft, I'll give you an example too as far as the German soldiers my great-grandfather was stationed outside of Stalingrad fighting the Russians, but he couldn't stand the Nazi party he was pretty much forced to fight in the infantry and was eventually wounded when his magazine was shot while he was reloading and was thankfully captured by the Americans because this was towards the end of the war when the Americans moved in towards the west and spent the rest of the war in an American pow camp but a lot of them were forced but the stories that my grandfather with my great grandmother back in Germany after the war how they would find live ammo and grenades and artillery shells just lying around when he was a kid because nobody picked it up afterward
Something for yourselfs to watch or listen to is Tom Clay's What The World Needs Now. The b side of the record is titled The Victors. I really don't think U Tube will let you show it on your channel.
Average age of 19 sounds like when they were enlisted. I enlisted as a combat soldier in a much later war, and at the ripe old age of 21 i was the 3rd oldest guy in my Troop. Nearly all 18, one 17 year old, a few 19s, and old people like me over 20 throwing off the average.
Re. Films of WW2, highly recommend Steven Speilberg’s Schindler’s List & Empire of the Sun. Also a small beautiful film about Jewish survivors, The Island on Bird Street.
Yeah Russian play heros but there were invaders too so in the end they had to protect themself because of their stupid alliance with Hitler they literally asked for waar so they got in in the end

19:55 As strange as it may sound, That ,,The Long Peace" was possible is also due to the result of 40 years of efforts by the government in Bonn (West Germany, 1949-1991) The Bonn politicians have in 40 years have done their utmost to keep the world and Germany peaceful. As a country that was responsible for the Second World War, Germany after Hitler made sure that never again a country would do what had been done in its name. With its foreign policy and its policy of détente, the "Federal Republic of Germany", which served peace, gained trust in the world during the Cold War. Whether in Russia, America or China.
An example of how you can have some people of a higher age and a lot of people of a younger age and the average be 19: ((17*20)+(18*100)+(19*200)+(20*100)+(21*20)+(45*5))/445=~19.3 My example demonstrating how 440 people of age 17-21 with the mean at 19, and 5 people at age 45. Most people in this example are younger. This _idea_ of proportionality scales to the millions of people who fought of various ages. Most were very young, some were older. Because there so _so many_ more of a younger age than of an older age, the average calculates out closer to the younger end.
The number is incorrect, in total, the Soviet Union, according to official data, lost at least 26 million people, and according to unofficial data, more than 30 million.This is the pain of each of our families, so you honor the memory of those people who stopped this hell.
1) As of the end of 2022, about 167,000 American WW2 veterans were living. That's only 1% of the 16 million who served. 2) I was not familiar with "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas." It is historical fiction, and apparently many have criticized it for being too fictional. Some have even called it a "fable."
I think every Western Country should watch this video possibly following watching the movie *(Saving Private Ryan)* especially Americans who constantly complain not knowing how good they actually have it
Actually the average age of 19 refers to american soldiers in the Vietnam war, not WW2. The lyrics we are talking about are from the Paul Hardcastle song "Nineteen". "In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26 In Vietnam he was 19"
If you're looking for something more fun, I'd like to see a British take on Trevor Noah's "How the British took over India" stand up set. I know the Blokes have done it, but I think you might find it funny.
The average age here in the states may have been 19 because the draft age was 18. We also had people in the Japanese end of this war, so some parents had son's (& daughters) in Japan & some in Germany. I don't remember if anyone from Europe (back then England was part of Eu.😂) Was in Japan 🤔
