Residence fighters were arguably the bravest in the war. It's easy to take advantage of our freedoms, but in dark times, this is how we truly get know ourselves.

@mihajlovucinic011 4 года назад

Yes but for some reason French ressistance is most celebrated while it was one of least effective ones. Some parts of eastern Europe like Yugoslavia and Poland had much worse conditions and much more effect with more casualties. Partizans in Yugoslavia had few large chunks of land that was never occupied even after formal capitulation. Warsaw resistance as well.

@curiousworld7912 4 года назад

What an amazing story. That she survived is miraculous. It worries me, very much, that this horrendous ideology is having something of a rebirth in the West. It only takes a couple of generations for history to be forgotten, it seems. Thank you, for posting this. These stories need to keep being told.

@dbojangles1597 4 года назад

You will likely never truly understand the irony that comes from worrying about a minority of whites who just want to avoid becoming a hated minority in their homelands while at the same time practically treating the most well organized and remorseless of racial supremacists on the planet as if they were innocent victims.

That was awesome. What an amazing, & unbelievably brave, lady. Thank you for telling her story. Such bravery and determination should be more widely known about. The memory of such an indomitable spirit should be kept alive. The perfume bearing her name is still just as lovely & it is as deserving of its fame as it ever was.

Not sure why but of the many tragic-story videos you upload, (each one suitably solemn in their own right of course), this one is especially heart-rending. Happy ending of sorts, yes, still... it resonates in an unforgettable way. Do, keep them coming kind Sir.

So much more is now coming to light now about Ravensbrück and the terrifying atrocities committed there where it served as a training base for some 3,500 female SS (Nazi paramilitary corps) supervisors who staffed it and other camps.Thanks for making so many viewers smarter every day!

@jayreject5602 4 года назад

For anyone wanting more information on the Ravensbruck concentration camp I would highly recommend the book 'If this is a woman' by Sarah Helm. It's a brutal but essential read about the terrible conditions the 1000's of women went through in this little known camp.

The firestorm in Dresden was so great, that it would actually suck people up like a tornado into the conflagration. One of the reasons that Dresden was targeted was because it was a previously untouched German city, and they wanted to see just how big of a firestorm they could actually create. Later, the firestorm in Tokyo would claim more lives than both Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.

@ECloudDog 4 года назад

Complete incorrect. Dresden was a major industrial city. It was a major railway station and many German troops were being transported through Dresden to the Eastern Front. It was a very important strategic target. What you are saying is no less than Goebbels's propaganda to rally his evermore disloyal population against the Allies.

WW2 was huge, one of the biggest drama's in humanities history. In my opinion anyway and women's roles in it, like many other times seem to slip between the cracks. I'm not a femanist, I'm more of an equalist and not to take away from the heroics of d day or iwa Jima (my great uncle was there) but I find the deeds of these ladies to be more inspiring and moving. So good job Simon, give them another voice and keep up the good work. :)

I can honestly say I haven't seen anything from you that I haven't liked! Thank you for passion of history and knowledge. I'd love to see an episode of biographics on the life of Bill Willson the co founder of alcoholics anonymous. He and Dr. Bob Smith created something that has pulled me and millions of other people from the depths of addiction and disparity. Their work has done something that modern medicine cannot come close competing with. Thanks again Simon😁 (side note: can we be friends?) 🤣
