Hey mister history guy? Who is Karl Marx? What race is he? What race was Lenin and Trotsky? Do you know that communism is the backbone of the Jewish faith? Do you know that even a poor jew must pay a monthly stipend to put towards the community? How many jews were bankers in Germany in 1920 to 1933? If you want to go over real history, were I will bring the data, we can talk. You are just spreading more white hate. Go do some real research and find out what really happened. Go talk to some older well informed rabbis and find out the truth. How old are you man?

Anyone who tells you something and then tries to sell you something right after is called a snake oil salesman. This is not the first time you gloss over some pretty big facts. Yeah the germans just hated those jews for know reason.

This is crap. If you do history you don't introduce your own subjective pre suppositions.

That edited out the Kharkiv battle to make room for the irrelevant holocaust propaganda

Its actually a suprsingly shallow and useless documentary.

lol it was sepp dietrich who won the battle.

​@@joseraulmiguens6699No, Dietrich and other commanders like Paul Hausser and Hermman Hoth were following orders from Manstein, the plan and the execution were Manstein's idea, all of the South Army Group was under Manstein's command, those generals were his subordinates

Yes

Yeah me at the Kursk section nodding off.

Most definitely don't stop with the Nazi documentaries and the Narrator is perfect. May I suggest Hans Kammler as your next deep dive into.

“There are all kins of low class slime who are trying and will continue to try to wreck this country from the inside. Most of them don't know it, but they are actually working for the Russians. Some of them do know it, though. It doesn't matter whether they call themselves communists, socialists, or just plain liberals. That is what they are doing.” “Russia knows what it wants: world domination, and she is laying her plans accordingly. We on the other hand, and England, and France to a lesser extent, don't know what we want and get less than nothing as the result.” “I understand the situation. Their [the Soviet] supply system is inadequate to maintain them in a serious action such as I could put to them. They have chickens in the coop and cattle on the hoof--that's their supply system. They could probably maintain themselves in the type of fighting I could give them for five days. After that it would make no difference how many million men they have, and if you wanted Moscow I could give it to you. They lived on the land coming down. There is insufficient left for them to maintain themselves going back. Let's not give them time to build up their supplies. If we do, then . . . we have had a victory over the Germans and disarmed them, but we have failed in the liberation of Europe; we have lost the war!” -US General George S. Patton

a pity he used his gifts for evil.

The Germans were unstoppable because they were all high on methamphetamine.

"partially" responsible?

Von Manstein was a cowardly, dishonest war criminal who published self-serving and highly inaccurate memoirs after the war in order to white wash both his crimes and his incompetence. He took part in the plans to starve and murder innocent peasants from 1935 onward. A real piece of sh*t.

This guy still believes in those “attrocities” lmao

@@2WorldWar2 you’re highly ignorant.

Certainly not ! Manstein was brilliant at manoeuvers and coordination ( it was studies in german military high schools) but abysmal in strategy ! Hitler was 100 % right to fire him after he lost an entire army in 1944 in Ukraine.

Lol... "they face the same task" One that they won't complete in the course of 500 years. Face it Ukraine as we know it is gone.

True he is my granduncle

The modern Davout or Lannes

You think Von Manstein would have served with Napoleon -- UNDER Napoleon? Maybe... But didn't Napoleon have Stalin syndrome before Stalin was even born,, meaning,, didn't Napoleon have anyone who he thought was even approaching his own intellect or abilities in the sphere of his influence basically rubbed out? I would think Von Manstein would be intelligent enough to figure that out and get away from his sphere of influence... I don't think he ever liked dealing with Hitler personally,, I know I sure wouldn't...

@@micnorton9487not at all, Davout was nearly his equal in tactical talent for example and was the best commander at the time except for Napoleon himself. Murat, lannes etc were all incredibly competent themselves to put it lightly

Erwin Rommel was just as good.

Agreed! Too much of the video was aimed at trashing him.

YOU ARE RIGHT. VON MANSREIN ALONG WITH THE FOX OF THE DESERT WAS THE GREATEST FIELD MARSHAL OF THE GERMAN ARMY. IF HITLER WOULD HAVE GIVEN VON MANSTEIN FULL LIBERTY OF DECISION ON THE EASTERN FRONT,THE GERMAN ARMY COUD OF WON THE EASTERN FRONT. THIS IS MY OPINION.

Of course, Manstein was the principal cause of the Stalingrad disaster.

@@rlkinnard on what planet/fantasy world did that happen in?

@@WorshipinIdols Manstein convinced Hitler to keep 6th army in Stalingrad when the general staff all wanted them moved out. Manstein promised to relieve 6th army, and then failed to do so. I guess that you can give the ultimate responsibility to Hitler for trusting Manstein over the general staff.

"Obergefreiter" is not a corporal. It's more just a private. In Germany the "Unteroffizier" is a corporal.

Halder and Von Runfstedt referred to him as the "Bavarian Corporal."

Don't forget his son was already killed on the Eastern Front.

Shame it had to be hitler righting the stupidity of Versailles.

When and where did he ever say that?

@@thinkingagain5966 "LOST VICTORIES" HIS MEMOIRS; TRY READING IT, YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING A**HOLE.

The story bypassed something else. The German General Staff considered Von Manstein and his Sickelschnitt plan for Fall Gelb a nuisance, so they tried to get him out of the way by promoting him to the command of an infantry division in the East. But one of the perks with the taking up of such a position was a personal interview with Hitler. And that was when von Manstein sold Hitler his idea. But he wasn’t there to participate in its implementation. He was in Poland.

I concur

she probably gay, bro !

It was the actions of the assassin and serbia that led to WWI

@@stephengayton5246 Yes, the assassination was the match that lit the fuse. This post was just emphasizing that Germany seems to get the blame for WWl, while they only entered the war as an ally of Austria-Hungary. Most people seem to believe that Germany was the nation that was most responsible for the war, which is not quite true.

Yep, the people who refuse to stand up to the tyranny of the American Marxists and their attempts to subvert the will of the majority of the people is becoming more and more reminiscent of these Germans who claimed to only be doing their jobs. He may have been a great leader of military formations, but no doubt I would spit on his grave given the chance!

@@waynek805 I think John Lennon summed it up for all of us with his song imagine. Follow the lyrics and he will describe a seeming paradise. Although there is one place on Earth described by John where all of his dreams come true and that is the place where so many bureaucrats wind up putting their people. Bureaucrats are really bureaucrat socialist tyrants and that where everyone is equal in all respects and without want, that place is called a cemetery. Bureaucrats in the 20th century put more people in the cemetery than all the wars and human history combined. That number is over 100 million. Thanks for the comment.

The military and business follow the same model. Executives tell middle managers how many to fire and lay off. Workers think management can say no. That's naive. In business saying no to an exec gets you fired. In the military disobeying an order gets you shot. Took stones to disobey Hitler. He got a medal and was dismissed.. could have gone differently and quite badly.

100% more than many realize.

So you're like over 100 years old now?

@@adamstevens5070 Not quite. My birth father was born in 1892. My birth mother was born in 1909. She was one of the youngest of 12, 13 children (one died as a toddler). I have immigration, birth, and death records to 1862 on my both sides of the family thanks to my eldest sister's dilligent research.

@@adamstevens5070 Lots of Europeans married late and had lots of children even later. No man in my family has had children before he was 30 for generations. My own American born mother was 33 before her first child was born and much older when her last one was. My brother was in his 50's before his first child. Most people in my family historically live until their late eighties at a minimum and often much older. That tends to give us a different perspective on time. While none of my great grandparents were as old as this lady's, all of my grandparents were born when Victoria was still Queen of England. My paternal grandmother clearly remembered taking care of an elderly female relative, somewhat famous in Cork for her heroic nursing during the Great Famine and typhus epidemics, up till her death at well over 110 years old. She was born before Napoleon was Emperor of France and possibly when George Washington was still President. Someday I'll have to check her gravestone and get the exact date of her birth on a trip to Ireland. My own German maternal great grandfather and his brothers were sent by their parents from a middle class family in Stuttgart, Wurtemmburg, Germany in the late 1880's or early 1890's to America as teenagers to avoid forced enlistment in the new Prussian dominated Gernan Army (instead of our traditional Swabian regiments) because they were Roman Catholics during the Kuturkampf. That was a period of harsh repression of Catholics by Bismarck, urged on by his Jewish allies who funded him. Ironically the same laws were later used against Jews starting in the 1930's. Many Germans fled Germany for the USA from the time of this woman's great grandfather until WWI to escape repression, either religious or political. After the Irish the Germans were the second largest foreign born group in the American Army from the Civil War until after WWI at the least.

@@brianmccarthy5557 have you always been such an intricate pathological liar? 🤔

No one is telling lies. My father was an important figure in USA. His death made the NJTimes. And camp followers (not my family) maintain a website on him so I can establish his date of birth. When my mother was born she was already an aunt. I just wanted people to know the militarized Prussians were a liitle too into war back in 1860s. And it probably intensified by 1939.

In order to obtain better knowledge I recommend "Die verdammte Pflicht" by Alexander von Stahlberg his adjutant.

Did Field Marshal von Manstien, not write to Hitler and tell him that his soldiers were demoralized by the activities of the Einstatsgroupen, and to relieve his soldiers of any participation in those terrible activities among those ordinary soldiers who were recruited into it behind their own offensive lines? He may have known of these slaughters while fighting the war against the Soviet army but, as such had enough on his plate than to worry about the politics of that which was happening behind his lines, of which he had no control over, but, it did have some militarily usefulness, in that it served as eliminating any or most of the guerilla activities in his rear. And after all, Operation Barbarossa, conceived by a maniac, was the greatest fight in history.

@@thomashillemann9902 thank you for the recommendation

Ted Cantrell I was in the Armored Cav back in 80s. And I always heard from more experienced and knowledgeable Men that rearguard actions were the most dangerous.

@@johnsage3466 Your welcome! Quite interesting book, because Stahlberg stood close to v. Manstein, thus also learning about his private life.

The way many of them cheated their sentences, including many who were given well-deserved death sentences, is an embarrassment that has never been given the whole exposure it deserves. But then, the full story of the Ukrainian, Lithunian, et. al "auxiliaries" who were as bad as any SS formation in committing war crimes, will never be told either. First because they were all behind the Iron Curtain after the war for decades, because those societies would still be loath to let the truth be told, and because so many of the participants are long dead.

​@@kevinh5349 - ... And because now here in the West we see everything in black and white, with no shades of gray, so, the Ukrainians and the Lithuanians must be the good guys, whatever war crimes they did, or are still doing.

Not sure that you can describe him or any other general as the father of blitzkrieg Putting all the resources up front and constant movement was the military style of the Prussian military for centuries. If the enemy managed to survive and resist this initial onslaught the enemy were in a position to turn the tables as so much if the Prussian resources were front ended. France didn’t survive that initial onslaught but the Soviet Union did

@@davidriddiford7385you are right, the soviets absorbed the German strongest blows and bogged the war down into a war of attrition, of which the Germans were unprepared for.

That's because he knew the Soviet Red Army better than any of the other NATO generals.

If you like, why not write a history book on the commanders around the world who have stood up against war crimes during an actual war? It would be a pretty thin book.

The whole European/Australian/usa/israel/s africa/middle east takeover by invaders seems like a much larger example of what you are talking about.

If he invaded England hitler will still lose, Soviet under Zhukov already plan for invasion of Germany, they going to lauch at the same year of 1941. This confidential doc already released when Soviet fall. That why in 1941, the Soviet army are in attacking and not defending position.

No. The German General Staff were at least partly responsible for going along with a mad Hitler plan to fight everybody else in Western Europe, then Russia (and the USA). But the Germans haven't won a war since 1870.

I don't think he opposed Hitler in any way, otherwise Hitler would've had him sidelined or worse, executed. I think he just went along with Hitler to survive, even though he may have had second thoughts about all of Hitler's decisions. I think he saw what happened to Rommel and decided to keep his mouth shut, lest he be next. I also do not think many of the top brass of the Wehrmacht were Nazis, they saw what Hitler meant for the army and decided to back him wholeheartedly.

@@bushranger51 Many of them saw A.H. as a good way of restoring order and a sure way of Germany regaining its place in the world. Going along to survive...not so sure.

@@gordonsmith4884 they saw hitler as the means to restore Germany to its former glory, they where not really nazis, especially mannstein and Rommel, they saw hitler as a savior to Germany

Mmmm...that's highly questionable. Good ol' Halder had a lot to do with myth building.

@@gordonsmith4884 Halder was against Manstein and opposed his plan for the invasion of France, but it was approved by Hitler, and thanks to Manstein's plan France was defeated. Who planned Von Runstedt's attack in Poland? Who conquered Sevastopol? Who defeated the Red Army's best commanders over and over again, no matter if in defensive or offensinve mode? Prokhorovka, Kharkov, Dniepper, etc.

True. But the emphasis on the generals and field marshalls is very much a result of a) Halders post war nonsense, and b) the obvious shortcomings of many of the allied generals. In fact, the german army favoured initiative by lower ranks and NCOs - relying on excellent education and training. When the germans no longer couldd replace lost officers it didn't matter if the general was von This or von That.

@@D.Appeltofft true, you should remember that the German army was built for blitzkrieg, not for defensive war against swathes of Russians

I would go with von Rundstedt for the Germans and Rokossovki for the Allies. In a certain way, Ike was a very good political general.

Racist in every way.

He "played by the rules of war?"[2T2 has now deleted this bit of the post, Manstein may be a good General but he was also a good Nazi] Did I watch the same video you did? "The myth of the clean Wehrmacht ... his [racial] views were inline with the Nazis." The Nazis were ethnically cleansing from the Baltic to the Crimea to repopulate with Germans. Lebensraum or "Living Space." They destroyed 10,000 towns & villages, killing the occupants, expecting winter to get any they missed. How could the Wehrmacht not see 10,000 burnt towns/villages? [Watch "Come & See" on RU-vid or "Hitler's Death Army" on Oradour-sur-Glane French town raised by the SS now a memorial, where the SS brought their Eastern tactics to the West, available on Nat Geo/Disney].

Totally agree

Well said! It's refreshing to read sensible material from someone else who "gets it."

You guys need to do some research on this. Read some books, even just Google it. The Wehrmacht were very involved in the genocide, they were encouraged to join in on their time off (free booze). Those that didn't go knew, you can't hide 20+ million dead civilians, 10k raised settlements. Its why 1,000's ended up living in the forests. Its a post war cover up that it was only the SS & Einsatzgruppen.

You never heard of this man?! No, he’s not as culpable as Hitler

Great military strategist and genius

Great Post

Yes I agree, sad that the war criminals of bomber command escaped punishment and the criminals responsible for the second bomb dropped on Japan escaped punishment.

Thankfully Hitler probably caused many of his military commanders to have ulcers. Von Paulous would have joined the July 20,1944 plot, if he wasn't a guest of the Russians.

Valerii Zaluzhnyi

Many German soldiers said that they would be risking their lives if they disobeyed morally repugnant orders. Were there recorded cases of German soldiers who were executed because they did not want to participate in what we now term "war crimes"? Reluctance to blindly obey orders might stall a military career, but did it actually result in execution or extreme punishment?

@@Orphen42O Not generally, though you might expect orders to the worst of the Eastern front. Then there was the bugaboo of those ridiculous oaths they took to Hitler himself. As we all know, no one can be bound by an oath that requires war crimes, etc. be overlooked. Staufenberg etal were regarded as the worst of traitors and even today you can get arguments that they "violated their oath". BS, but there you have it.

Model? How so he reminds me of Grant an incompetent butcher except model didn't have the endless resources and men that grant had

Took me a second to make the connection 🤣 good one.

I don’t believe that he was known for his “ORAL”skillz

i can only agree to that statement, but allow me to mention Erwin Rommel too

What war crimes?

@@Troy_Tempest Fighting the war

@@kingstarscream3807 so every single person who fought is a war criminal?

@@Troy_Tempest Troy you need to read the Mungo Melvin biography. It deals with the war crimes conviction of von M in what seems to me a pretty even handed way.

Refusing an SS request was probably not a life extending action.

He was much MUCH better then them. Especially the over rated Montgomery and the under accomplished Patron.

The "war crimes" he was convicted of would have convicted literally EVERY Soviet general on the eastern front and a large number of US generals. A perfect example of victor's justice. If you've read even a small amount of how the Soviets treated German POWs on the eastern front- even in June 1941- he was at worst guilty of "tit for tat". The same could be said of "Panzer" Meyer. Canadian troops were shooting captured german soldiers on June 7th 1944 and SS soliders before Panzer Meyer retaliated in kind. I'm no neo-nazi- and there is no excuse for alot that happened under the nazi banner- but post war war crimes trials of operational soldiers and generals were plainly one-sided.

While most German Generals seemed to turn a blind eye to atrocities against civilians, Hitler had to use the SS to commit the vast majority of these crimes. I don't think the Army would have participated hence the need for SS einsatzgruppen.

@@jandoernte3312 Victory often shields the victorious side from taking any responsibility in such matters.

@@scottw5315 There is proof that within the first days of the Polish invasion the Wehrmacht was involved in atrocities. The Germans were also meticulous in their documentation , the evidence is clear. It was clear that many of the army didn't want any part of it, and yet, it still happened.
