German Advances Through Soviet Union | WW2 Color Footage 

me too!

Very up front and personal more than any..

I had pretty much the same thought. I’ve seen years of footage, documentaries, movies, books, testimonies etc. yet I’m sure there’s a lot more footage out there we haven’t seen. Imagine if we could see what happened when the cameras weren’t rolling. Not just during ww2 but any time in history. For me it’s interesting to see what happened before me. And why. There’s just too much to learn in such a small amount of time. But any time we have is a gift. And we’re All a lot more fortunate than countless people of the past considering what they had to endure. Compared to people of today. Not only durning ww2. We’re lucky to by typing and to get a glimpse into the past in a time many have forgotten. Very few veterans/people who lived during that time are alive today. the people who experienced and can relate to all that happened and how it affects/affected the lives we live today. That for some reason many take for granted

Can you image what that must’ve looked liked in the winter 😱 Not only that as the battle group or army moves deeper and deeper there are vast distances with nothing behind you especially for the supply columns. I mean, all the equipment moves up to the front as a unit and there you are deep in enemy territory with man and machine hunting each other. I mean there must be detachments left behind but for the most point outside your battle group there’s huge gaps with nobody there. Must’ve been sketchy for the supply columns. And here my friend is where the partisans and local militia strikes! But to think the average soldier from 1939 through the end of 1942 were 18-25 yr olds I’m talking about collage aged kids/young adults. Take a bunch of 18-25 yrs olds send them off to war to witness 10’s of thousands of your fellow soldiers killed you bet the war is going to get ugly! I’m sympathetic to Germany and their Allie’s struggle in the East as far as mutual total war. That’s what it took in order to even have a chance fighting Stalin’s regime. I get it! It’s too bad the war dragged on the German armies only chance was to be sympathetic to Ukrainian independence and nationalism. That’s where they went wrong up until and after Stalingrad! I mean, by 44 there was over a million xSoviets helping the Germans but it was a little too late. Oh well! Now we Westerners will suffer the same fate but let it be known the destruction of the West all began in Berlin 1945.

Guido Knopp :P Der Propagandist..

Ja, man sieht viel über den russischen "Untermenschen", irgendwas muss bei der Einheit wohl schief gelaufen sein, denn diese Menschen werden ja nicht nach dem übliche Guido Knop oder SpiegelTV-Narrativ behandelt...Und N24 Nazi Ufos sieht man auch nicht, schon komisch irgendwie...Mal gucken, vielleicht wird das Video ja aus diesem Grund dann auch auf YT wieder gesperrt, schließlich leben wir ja in einer liberalen Demokratie mit Meinungsfreiheit ^^

If you would have a look "regardless" on the events, there are tons of war diaries, i dont know if the are available in your mother tongue or even in english. The sight of the "normal" Soldier on the german side differs largely from all the propaganda you see on a daily base. May it be the regular Landser, Panzerwaffe or Luftwaffe. Also interesting is to analyse WW1 diaries. You'll see how hard it affected human beings seeing all the stuff they did.

@@whizzedywhiz2912 Yes, the diaries of German soldiers are just young men growing up in a unique time in history.

​@@whizzedywhiz2912 Wo gibt es diese Tagebücher? Würde mich sehr dafür interessieren. Danke

@@coyotedust Not "growing up", as most were in their 20s, but maturing in a nasty environment.

Well said. The eastern front was particularly brutal. Cannot imagine fighting there as a young man.

Tribute nazi scums?

They didn't understand how cold it could be. No proper winter gear would be pure hell.Led by a insane leader. A sad deal indeed.

They were the invaders.

@@K_one_w_one oh yeah they were! Not defending any of their actions, but many were victims of their government and forced there at the time as well

It does not show the 'oblivion' part, which would be the Stalingrad disaster. This whole video does not really make it clear what year and month we are looking at in most of it (the video).

@@lduranceau8046 Wehrmacht suffered a lot of losses also in first months of Operation Barbarossa, it is myth that soviets did not resist and only retreated during first months.

@@lduranceau80461941-1944. But could realistically be around 1941 - 1942

I AGREE!

Sad to say that ur story repeated a million times over. Peasants paying the ultimate price to their overlord. defence of the motherland &/or fatherland.... probably pre-dates biblical times....Rwanda... Cambodia...Congo... same verb, different adjective... unique pronouns... GL

@@Dexteritas55 It's AI generated.

I heard Mussolini $h!t in his pants when heard about Barbarossa.

You say it like it matters that other nations suffered in Stalingrad aswell? Why dont you put some effort into it and then mention them all. The Croatians that suffered percentage wise the biggest loss there. Or the Soviets that fought on the side of the Germans. Do you consider Austrians german? If so it can be forgiven that you didnt mention them. Though if you think they are their own people you might wanna consider that most of the "germans" that survived the battle of Stalingrad were Austrians. Most would never see their beloved Austria aswell.

The size was shocking? They had maps no? I’m not being sarcastic.

@@alanledzep1967 When you grow up in a place like Germany wide open plains like the western US and Russia are intimidating. It's one thing to see a picture in a book and quite another to see it, travel all day and the scenery doesn't change.

They conviently ignore the fact that the Soviet Union had 5.5 million men under arms and 14 million reserves, they conviently ignore the fact that as the Germans advanced into Rissia, the frontage became wider, they ignore the fact that Germany was losing 500,000 men dead, missing and permantly crippled every 6 months​@@enoczavalareyes8785

For example Berlin - Moscow is about 1850 km Berlin - Bayonne in the far southwester corner of France is about axactly the same distance..

this is what you allies never say. the german army fought always against a huge overpayment of soldiers the whole history. you never respect the germans because the english started to to demonise the germans in every way and it worked.

The seldom remembered medical personal.

helping the people they were so vigorously destroying. How nice. this is nothing but propaganda to cover the mass murder of whole villages. "Come and See" for something approaching the truth

"GPT"😂

Narration says the same 5 things 50 times over in slightly restructured sentences. Absolutely retarded

yes, i'm learning to recognise the vapid verbage... just no limit when the language model is large

Hello from Moscow. My grandfather was a soldier too but he was deployed against Japan not against Germany.

@@DmitryVSokolovsome 80 years later their grandkids share the stories of their grandfathers without fighting each other. Amazing

the problem is, that Russia with Stalin went from the battlefield as winners but their essence was as evil as Hitlers 3d reich. They didnt learn what germany learned. we can now see this in Putins imperialistic aggressions against other countries like chechnya, georgia and ukraine. from another german whose grandfather fought in the east..

@@IsoXable But Germany is at war with Russia again! Ukrainians are fighting and dying with the weapons provided to them by our useless and greedy power elites. If the West had not torpedoed the peace talks in Istanbul, peace would have been restored 2 years ago and countless Ukrainians and Russians would still be alive.

@@DmitryVSokolov Он скорее всего был слишком молод если его признавли уже к концу войны.

The holes you see in the T34s are from a PAK 40 not an 88. There probably 88 hits seen in the footage when the whole turret is blown of. An 88 just does not only leave a hole. in an otherwise intact tank.

They didn't have a chance? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA what utter nonsense. Truth is the Soviets barely held on and mostly because of Western allies lend-lease that kept them on life support long enough for the Brits (who got their asses handed to them consistently) to open up other fronts and the US to get tricked into the war (The US gov knew the Japanese were going to attack Peral Harbor but acted like they didn't so it would be a bigger tragedy and make the US go to war)

The destroyed bridge - apparently attacked while the Russians were using it! The horses were still in the water. I assume it was an air attack - like most of the damage shown, like the train.

"Germany never had a chance against this country."😂

All started by Germany. I feel for only one side in WW2. The allies. The axis got their just rewards for their evil, demonic deeds.

You mean, your uncle?

What country you from?

@@Smudgeroon74 Rhineland---Germany

The thing is if the Germans stayed that friendly towards Ukraine and other USSR areas they took over, they probably could've gotten more troops to fight for them and many Slavs that hated Stalin and the Russians to be on their side. Fortunately for the world Hitler didn't do that.

Not to worry, they did plenty of that as well. The occasional act of kindness could never make up for the atrocities they were responsible for. Ahh yes, the kindhearted German invaders who simply came in to feed and heal the Russian and Ukranian people. Maybe in your delusional dreamworld, you can make a movie about that.

This war had purpose

@@George-ee3wl yes, they were trying to save Europa and the world, just looking around today gives a trillion proofs.

Like the Russia ukraine war!

Young men fought old men's war, as always.

True

Well said!!

I was looking for this comment. Narrator literally said the same thing for 9 minutes straight, just rephrasing it each time. Makes me want to turn the video off..

Laughing and smiling because they thought they were on their way to invade, kill and commit a 2nd genocide , which they invariably would have done if the Germans won the Easter Front.

This footage is part of the "German Newsweek" which was a propaganda publication at war time.

Unfortunately these deeds will be forever overshadowed by the horrors inflicted upon the local population by the SS and the Einsatzgruppen.

@@davidjackson2179 True,, Ultimately we know now that Stalin killed more Ukrainians than Hitlers special units and two wrongs will never make it right,, ask the Ukrainian people now what evil is looming larger in the future of their children.

@@davidjackson2179 "the horrors inflicted upon the local population by the SS and the Einsatzgruppen.", and vice versa! Russians were worse than Germans, as brutality is part of their culture.

The payment was in food like eggs or chicken. The patients got watermelon. The doctor was a student. He got a sabrecut on his cheek. What an interesting movie

After the war, this was common in Germany too. Till the 60s there changed nothing. Afterwards much.

Max Richter The Departure

Sadly, very often war is not futile. That of course, does not make right.

It was a culture shock for both German soldiers and Russians soldiers. Germans couldn't believe how poor Ukrainians and Russians were. They lived in mud thatched clay houses. Inside the house was one room with beds along the walls they slept in with a giant Russian stove in the middle with an oven. They even slept on the stoves. Hardly any food as Ukrainians were forced into collectivization under the USSR. A land rich in agriculture but everything was harvested for the government. There clothing was primitive and hand woven. The men wore basket woven shoes. On the other hand the Russians couldn't believe how rich Germany was when they invaded. They wondered why did they ever invade us when they had everything.

@@coyotedust Stalin once boasted that collectivization took more Soviet lives than WW2. That wasn't quite the case, but, gives an insight into the value Stalin placed on individual lives.

@@Gallagherfreak100 you mean, more than 27000000, of which 14000000 are civs? Source?

@@coyotedust Remember, that the USSR used to rebuild itself from scratch, after WWI and civil war. Also, this is funny to hear, that ukries got starved to death by Soviet gov, since famine was in all USSR, like Volga banks, that suffered more, than anyone else there. And, BTW, famine was across the world durind that time. Like in US during the great depression.

@@reconnv3084 "The world at war" Episode: "Red Star - The Soviet Union"

"The Ukrainians greeted the Germans as liberstors from the terrors of Stalin & the NKVD " Hungarian Wikipedia address "A magyar megszálló csapatok a Szovjetunióban. Levéltári dokumentumok 1941-1947" In addition to the Germans and Hungarians, Romanians, Italians, Finns, Latvians, Lithuanians, and *Ukrainians* took part in this activity, which resulted in the most extensive genocide in world history, claiming the most victims, and in which a total of 13.7 million civilians perished. German and Hungarian punishment squads killed approximately 103,000 civilians and 24,000 prisoners of war in just one administrative area of Ukraine, the Chernihiv region. ( As you can see, Ukrainians were on both sides of the conflict. )

"Germans stupidly didn’t capitalize on but instead brought their own form of terror upon the populace. " Why would have Germans not used the popularity they enjoyed among Ukrainians and other nationalities? Did you ever wonder why, in you hare brain?

Yes, human experience is the same, only the weaponry changes.

And none of the horses survived.

What is so sad; they where their to kill Russians by their choice;

It’s also sad that the German soldiers were wearing the same uniforms during the Winter

Even the majority of the Germans that made it had no homes or families to go to.

By far, the Best Combat Soldiers of WW2!!

I swear it sounds like Jared Harris actor.

Such living conditions existed only in villages, and in cities people lived in normal apartments.

Oh, we apologise for not building RIZ CARLTON hotels for the invaders! Why did not they just stay home???

NKVD-GULAG..Tiran Djugashvili..Pedofile Beriya..MORDOR..

There is a flip side to that. When the Soviets started entering Germany and saw the high standards of living the Germans had, they couldn't understand why they would come all that way just to destroy their homes and murder indiscriminately. It made them even angrier than they already were from the destruction the Germans had done in the occupied territories. Many of them had relatives who were killed, raped, or mutilated by the Nazis. On the other hand, the general US population had been more or less safe from widespread atrocities. There was simply no real reason for your average GI to feel the need to make the ordinary German pay for what their soldiers did during the war.
