Stalingrad (1993) Firing Squad Scene 

Glad to see that you have 18 likes in 9 days. War is crazy and I feel like everyone forgot. Much love

nobody said it did. That doesn't change the fact that the dialogue is different (more powerful) in German compared to the subtitles.

As a Norwegian I miss the finer details. But I understand what Germans say.

Right from the first scene he was in you could tell he wasn't a very nice man. The directors purposely made him a hate sink for the audience to despise, and the actor did a great job at that. However I'm sure there were many uptight, unpleasant and downright sadistic pro-Nazi officers like him in the Wehrmacht who didn't think twice about murdering innocent civilians (especially Jews, Russians and other Slavs).

great job! loved it!

may be he didn't play?)

​@@heybeachMINThat is an interesting observation.

That's a General not an Officer

Unbelievable! 12 million watched these German propaganda lies! This propaganda is intended to give the impression that the Nazi soldiers were ordinary soldiers. But that's a lie, because these were soldiers of a criminal Nazi army. By the way, no German soldier was punished for not wanting to take part in shootings. By the way, there were always enough volunteers. There was no compulsion to obey orders behind which German soldiers were hiding after the war. The massacre of Józefów in Poland, in which 1,500 civilians were murdered by the Wehrmacht, made it clear that there was no compulsion to obey orders when shootings were carried out. Because only volunteers took part in the shootings and there were always enough of them. It is known that during this massacre the German battalion commander Trapp offered that those who did not feel up to the task did not have to take part in the shooting of civilians . A few did not want to take part, but the vast majority had no problem taking part in the shooting. From this overwhelming majority, soldiers were then ordered to the shooting. This meant that no soldier who refused to take part in the shootings could invoke compulsion to obey orders, because the possibility of freedom of decision without consequences was given.

They knew that if they did not do as ordered, that it would be their turn next.

It is the same for the dudes on the other side, i.e the allies. don't believe propaganda. for example the US general Patton told his men before invading Sicily to "take no hostages" and they literally didn't, they killed over 70 italian war prisoners, simply because they were ordered to. yet they were given a slap on the shoulders and let go, but when a German soldier says "I was ordered to" he is deemed a warcriminal worthy of the worst of fates.

@@unsrescyldas9745 You are obviously a German. Because you wash the Nazi nation white and also use the in Germany very popular tactic of pointing with the finger at others Nations. In fact, this is a widespread tactic in Germany, in order not to make their own Nations history look so criminal and barbaric. The motivation is to spread the lie that Germans are actually equals among equals, nothing special with their history. As you pointing with your finger at the Americans here. I have experience with it! That's just a kind of falsification of history that this crimes were equal. But your tactic does not work anyway because there is a big difference between the Germans and the Americans. Because the Nazi nation committed various genocides and not "only" a few massacres. Millions of children were murdered in these genocides too! Because of this various genocides using industrial means in a very short time also with millions of murdered children which is unique in human history. So the mendacious equation of Americans with the Nazi nation does not work! The Nazi nation is responsible for around 50 million deaths in Europe! Responsible for the dead in the various wars of aggression in Europe and for the dead in the various genocides. Add to that the catastrophic economic effects of the many wars. What kind of megalomania because that was a war consisting of various wars against various nations in which various cities were turned into ruins, including the Polish capital, which was deliberately systematically destroyed. The economic damages were incredible. The Nazi nation also conducted human experiments on a large scale! Murder of millions of prisoners of war. That was unique in world history. This all is unique! UNIQUE! This completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation with pure, insane, megalomaniac and utterly amoral barbarism was totally unique in all of world history. This is why your finger pointing on Americans is so very impertinent.

@@GreatPolishWingedHussars Lmao classic pole playing the victim, conveniently forgetting the terror the Poles struck into the heart of their neighbors after WW1, infact, not a single one of your neighbors were not at war with your nation after WW1. 1- Lithuania (Poles occupied Wilnus) 2-Czechoslovakia (War over coal-rich territories) 3-Ukraine (War over Western Galicia) 4- Germany (War over Silesia) 5- Russia (War over Belarus) At least the Germans (I am not one buddy, unlike your German Slavicized ancestors) can fully claim that they were never at war with all of their neighbors (Austria) had you left a single one of your neighbors that you did not bully whilst having the backing of the French and Saxons to rein in this terror upon people that were so weary of war? and then you dare to cry about your beloved Warsaw, yet to all observant students of history, there was no other way to deal with an insolent people but as what happened to Warsaw. vengeful and filled with spite, that is literally the entire history of your people after being partitioned between Prussia, Austria and Russia. And so you carried this spitefulness with you into the 20th century, fully thinking you will come out of it victorious, and up until that fateful day when Hitler demanded Danzig back, and even offered you an Alliance against the Soviets, yet just as before, the French and the Anglos smirking from behind the seas told you that you have their backing, but this time their backing meant nothing, and you suffered for your ignorance, and arrogance. So do not go around blaming the "Nemetskaya" for your people's crimes you pathetic man, who does not face up to the crimes of his people yet has all the fun pointing fingers at others, you truly have no honour, lmao "Hussar" what a joke. 50 Million people died because of the Nazis, or because of your foolishness for holding onto Danzig, a land that was always German since the first ever settlement there? (Literally was always German even before the Slavs came out of the Swamps in Ukraine) what a pathetic thing you set your people back for a hundred of years, and now you have the lowest of birth rates of all European countries, good luck, there won't even be a thing as a "Pole" in but years, sidelined to the books of history as you are replaced by a more faithful people. Regardless, regarding what you said about Genocides, that too is not unique or special. just a list of genocides for you committed by the allies 1-The Native Indians (Americans, lmao do we need to state numbers?) 2-The Bengali (British, 7M forced starved to death, more than your "6" gorrilion Jews) 3-The Boers (British, hundreds of thousands died, mostly women and children, lack of food, disease after being rounded up in the 2nd Boers war, none teared for them though, because they didn't have wealthy Jews in the press backing them) The Algerians (French, over a million dead, not to mention the raped, tortured and exiled) and I am sure more learned men can find other examples, and you as a Pole, I do not need to remind you perhaps of the Holodomor or other events that would be genocide on the Russian part. so no buddy it wasn't unique, industrialised slaughter had been common since the Victorian Era and continues to be so, if anything the Nazis were less cruel as they killed efficiently as opposed to the Allies who'd just leave their enemies to starve to death out of utter carelessness for human life that was not important to their interests. So keep seething, your victories will be, have to be, short lived, because God is against the oppressive people, and whatever enjoyment you enjoy as of yet will fleet, so you wait, we too are waiting.

@@mickeydrago9401 Saving Private Ryan (SVP) is really good, especially the beach landing scene gives a very good impression of how it must have felt to be a soldier in such a situation. SVP had a much bigger budget, so the battle scenes are more impressive from a pure cinematic/production point of view, while the Stalingrad ones are good enough (they saved a bit for example in the amount of background actors/soldiers) But SVP develops more into telling a story, it's not so much about the horrors of war (apart from the battle scenes), about the desperation of the soldiers, about their inner conflicts. Of course war at the Eastern Front was much worse, so SPR couldn't really show for example big war crimes without being historically incorrect. From pure entertainment value, SVP is the better movie for the mainstream, hence the higher imdb rating, but for showing how devastating war is to those involved, civilians and soldiers, Stalingrad does a better job.

This meant that no soldier who refused to take part in the shootings could invoke compulsion to obey orders, because the possibility of freedom of decision without consequences was given. The Wehrmacht and their generals were willing tools of the German Nazi government and participated in countless crimes. Their criminal brutality proves the fact that during the German raid on Poland, soldiers of the Wehrmacht carried out about 60 percent of the mass murders of Polish civilians. 60%!!! Polish civilians were murdered by the Wehrmacht but also Polish Prisoners of war (POWs) were murdered by the Wehrmacht. These were not just a few massacres by the Wehrmacht on Polish POWs and civilians. There were a great number of massacres by the Wehrmacht on Polish civilians and on Polish POWs! Because that had a method and was part of the war of extermination against the Gypsies, Slavs and Jews in the occupied areas in the east. The Wehrmacht not only murdered in occupied Poland, but in fact in all occupied countries. Polish soldiers which had put up a stiff fight were penalized for their ‘impudence’ by being punished by being murdered with flame-throwers. The resistance by Polish ‘sub-humans’ was not considered military virtue for Wehrmacht soldiers but just insolence. This example also shows illustrates that this army was completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated like the entire Nazi nation! By the way, Nazi party member was certainly not the definition of a Nazi. That is the definition of Nazi! Supporter and follower of the German Nazi government! By the way, the vast majority of the German army (Wehrmacht) were since 1935 at the latest followers and supporters of the German Nazi government thus they were Nazis! Incidentally, the vast majority of Germans since 1935 at the latest were also followers and supporters of the German Nazi government thus they were Nazis! In fact, the rush for Nazi party membership was so great that the party froze admission of new members. The German army like the the whole nation was a willing tools of the German Nazi government. This army fought with most of Germans doggedly and fanatically to win the war together with the German Nazi government. Because this army was able to avoid defeat for so long, there was so much time to murder so many people behind the front lines.

@@GreatPolishWingedHussars I read all of your text, but i don't really get the point. You gave me a little history lesson, but i have to say i'm aware of most of these things. I am from germany myself. Most of us know in detail what was going on. It's taught in school from grade 5 to 13. But i have to correct you on something. It is correct, that people like goebbels had a huge influence with their propaganda of the "total war" as well as hitlerls broadcasts demonizing jews as well as the soviets and glorifying the germans as a superior "race". But way less people wanted to go to war compared to WWI. The scars of the tedious trench warfare taking years and the economical downdraft during the republic of weimar left the people not enthusiastic to fight in another war. But as Hitler basically got germany out of their economical misery, they tolerated him as a leader, because the government was unstable at the point of hitlers overtake. The father of a friend of mine has fought in stalingrad. One of his friends deserted right away, travelling to spain mostly on foot. My friends father said, that he regreted not leaving with him. The soldiers were told it would be quick and for a good purpose, just like with the attack on france in WWI. You're also incorrect with the assumption, that not raising their voice meant they were fine with executing civillians. If they had raised concerns, they would have faced punishment. People against the regime not following the principle and embracing the mindset of "we have to dedicate our life to the government" were punished. 10% of the germans who went to stalingrad returned... Do you really think after seeing more than half of your companions die they would have fought on with enthusiasm? People who remained in germany and were not fighting just hid in their houses afraid of bombardments untilt he allied troops freed them. Teenagers and young boys were forced to fight in the outskirts of berlin in hitlers narciccistic last attempt to come out of the situation unharmed. However, all of that was not the point of my initial comment. I was complimenting the accurate language of that time. And my point stays. It is a great representation of how people talked back then and which phrases and rethoric devices they used. If you're upset because i compliment a movie for being well made, then that's on your side not mind. Please don't bother me anymore if that's the case and you're just wanna argue, that all germans are nazis

@@pitched7401 You don't get my point? Strange actually it is obviously! What is there not to understand? It is obvious that German propaganda movies like the one shown in the video where the Germans are being whitewashed bother me. The same goes for comments that whitewash the Germans! Incidentally, such a comment from someone of your nationality who is trying to whitewash the Germans is not surprising. Such behavior is standard for Germans. Because it is exactly the other way around, because in German schools exactly the opposite of the historical reality is taught. I know that because I was in a German school from the 2nd grade until final secondary-school examinations (Abitur). I can therefore speak German without an accent. So all I heard in history class were lies and a distorted historical reality. In this mendacious history lesson, the blame was placed on relatively few Nazis and the vast majority of Germans were actually portrayed as victims of these evil Nazis. It was even mendacious claimed that the Germans were liberated in 1945. An unbelievable lie in which from the victory over this evil Nazi nation with the subsequent multi-annual occupation is made a LIBERATION. You, too, are brazenly and mendaciously claim the fairy tale of liberation. Yes, you paid close attention in the mendacious lesson. My German teacher also said that Germans were liberated. When I disagreed, he got angry! He was actually constantly angry at me because I constantly contradicted his lies. As I mentioned, one of the main lies was that there were relatively few Nazis. The definition of Nazi is not a member of the Nazi Party! But that is the definition of Nazi! For at least since 1935 the overwhelming majority of Germans were followers and supporters of the German Nazi government thus they were Nazis. It was the same with the German army. Therefore there was hardly any resistance and instead the whole German nation, including the German army, fought fanatically for victory in the war together with the Nazi government. But in German history classes, the opposite of this historical reality is taught. According to the motto, only a few guilty Nazis. Most Germans allegedly innocent! The very little resistance against the German Nazi government is inflated into mighty resistance. For example in history classthe completely irrelevant extremely tiny resistance cell "White Rose" which was completely insignificant is being blown up into a significant and important resistance organization. When a woman of the cell then ridiculously threw these leaflets from a balustrade of the University of Munich, mind you into an empty courtyard, they were arrested by the caretaker Jakob Schmid, who handed them over to the police. Incidentally, at a "thank the Police" party organized by the University of Munich for the successful smashing of the cell, hundreds of German students cheered Jakob Schmid, who to honored the students with the typical greeting with outstretched arm. Incidentally, This is definitely not taught in German history classes, because these many cheering regime-loyal German students compared to the extremely few who have done resistances hows that the vast majority of Germans certainly did not resist and instead were followers and supporters of the German Nazi government. No, in German history classes is mendacious taught how the Germans allegedly put up considerable resistance and how important this actually completely meaningless resistance cell "White Rose" was. The "White Rose", very famous in Germany! As a reminder, this numerical ratio of resisting students and students loyal to the regime. On the one hand very few students in one of the very few resistance cells and on the other hand hundreds of students cheering as the resistance cell members were arrested. Incidentally, the caretaker Jakob Schmid, who arrested the woman from the resistance cell, was not punished after the war. The Germans certainly didn't do that. Because then the overwhelming majority would have had to be punished, because most would have acted the same way. Although he wouldn't have risked anything. He could have just pretended not to see anything. But he acted loyal to the regime like most Germans would have acted. To the other whitewash of the Germans that you run. The German enthusiasm for the war was enough for a completely fanatical and selfless fight. So don't tell fairy tales about a lack of enthusiasm for the war. In fact, the entire society was completely militarized. Most Germans liked that too. They were enthusiastic about the great German soldiers and everyone wanted to be a soldier too. How brazenly you call the mass murders of civilians executions. Criminals are executed but certainly not innocent civilians. The Wehrmacht soldiers showed their enthusiasm for the mass murders by voluntarily taking part in the shootings. There was no shortage of volunteers so no one was forced to participate. Then he talks mendacious about the time when the war was lost for the Germans. Yes, they woke up, but not because they felt sorry for the victims, but because they were afraid that the victors would treat them the same way they had treated their victims before. They were afraid of the vengeance of the victors! Yes, but when they won, they were enthusiastic about the Nazi regime. They looked forward to the spoils of war and the benefits they would have at the expense of the defeated. Then the description of the poor Germans who suffered! Should I feel sorry now? With the Nazi nation? No, I definitely have no pity for the Nzai nation. The Nzai nation suffered far too little. Your entire comment corresponds to the lies that your country's propaganda spreads at home and abroad! You also like to believe these lies of whitewashing! Because that's your grandparents' whitewash! As does this mendacious propaganda movie shown in the video.

@@GreatPolishWingedHussars what about Oscar Schindler? There was also this British man working at an embassy (forgot his name) who stayed behind to help anyone he could get passports to escape the Germans that were coming.

@@Foose3535 What about Oscar Schindler? "The Good German". The absolute exception, that was Oscar Schindler! These extremely few exceptions are then used to create a completely false impression of historical reality. Because the historical reality was that the overwhelming majority of Gemans were followers and supporters of the Nazi government thus they were Nazis. Therefore there was hardly any resistance and instead the whole German nation, including the German army, fought fanatically for victory in the war together with the Nazi government. But this historical reality is not only falsified by German propaganda, but also by Western pro-German propaganda! This is particularly evident in the term Nazis! Western pro-German propaganda has many facets, one of which is using the term Nazi instead of the actual nation! In fact, Western pro-German propaganda is very consistent in using the term Nazis. The Nazis are the bad guys and the real Germans are their victims. The use of the term Nazis instead of Germans also in Hollywood movies actually serves to whitewash the Germans. The fact that the term Nazis is used instead of Germans has a reason that most people are not even aware of. This is why this German whitewashing propaganda is so very successful that most people worldwide now use the term Nazis and not the term Germans in connection with the 2nd World War. It is necessary to clarify why the term Nazi is even used for to understand all this. So it is necessary o clarify who a Nazi even was for to understand all this. Who is referred to as Nazis by western propaganda at all in this context. All Germans? Definitely not! No, the western propaganda differentiates very precisely between the evil Nazis and the other "good" Germans. The western pro-German propaganda spreads the lying myth of the few Nazis who were guilty and responsible, because it is generally concealed that the overwhelming majority of Germans since 1935 at the latest were follower and supporters of the German Nazi government, thus they were Nazis. So the overwhelming majority of Germans were since 1935 at the latest Nazis. It is concealed the fact that the vast majority were Nazis, giving the impression that it was the other way around, that contrary to historical truth there was only a relatively small minority of Nazis. So the synonym Nazi would actually be justified for this nation. BUT...the intention to use Nazis instead of German has a very specific intention. Just for to whitewashing of the Germans. Because from this lying western propaganda the myth is even produced that the vast majority of Germans were actually victims of the evil Nazis themselves and that the Nazis were just a small minority. For this reason alone they differentiate between Germans and Nazis! The propagandists even claim that the Germans were liberated in 1945. I have read and heard this lie more often that the Germans were allegedly liberated. LIBERATED! As e.g. the title of this RU-vid video shows. "Liberation of Munich April 30 1945" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RtCvjD56Kkc.html the title is not the occupation of Munich by the Americans, which would correspond to historical facts. No, a lie is being spread about liberation! An unbelievable lie in which from the victory over this evil Nazi nation with the subsequent multi-annual occupation is made a LIBERATION. This is actually the end goal of that whitewashing campaign. Separating the nation from the evil Nazis and making the nation victims of the Nazis. This can also be seen from the fact that certain Germans are referred to as non-Nazis, such as Nazi general Erwin Rommel who was a willing tool of the German Nazi government and fought doggedly for the victory of this Nazi government. This way the Western propaganda distinguishes very conscious between the bad Nazis and the other good Germans like Rommel. It is then stated that Rommel was not a member of the Nazi party and thus he was not a Nazi. Because that's the common lie that's being spread, that only the Nazi party members were Nazis. A very useful lie. But in reality the correct definition of Nazi is supporters and follower of the German Nazi government and that was the vast majority of Germans at least since 1935 thus they were all Nazis. That was also Rommel, who made a great effort to ensure that the German Nazi government wins this war. He also benefited from his hard work for the Nazi regime and was promoted to Field Marshal. But despite this, Western propaganda and Hollywood portray him as a non-Nazi. Like Rommel, the vast majority of Germans had been followers and supporters of the german nazi government since 1935 at the latest, so they were Nazis. But these historical facts are not being propagated by Western propaganda, but the lie of the relatively few guilty Nazis! Why is it done that way? Why is the lie being spread of the few Nazis who were responsible for the crimes so that most people by now say Nazis instead of the name of the really guilty nation? At first in 1945, the Americans had the right attitude regarding the Germans, as this educational film shows for the US Army. „Your Job in Germany - RU-vid" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7OUR5uvs9aw.html Then pragmatism prevailed over justice! Because after the war, the Americans believed the Germans would be useful as allies! So in the 50s, most of Germans became the ally of the West. (West Germany). However the problem was that this Nazi nation was completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated! The West could not be allied to a morally degenerate Nazi nation that has murdered millions of children, among other crimes. So they were practically systematically washed clean to be tolerable as allies. So they were washed clean by propaganda (Western historians / media / politicians / Hollywood etc.) and the blame was put on relatively few Nazis. So the term Nazis is deliberately used by propaganda, i.e. the media, historians, politicians, Hollywood to differentiate between the Germans and the Nazis. It is then said that only a minority were Nazis. But this does not correspond to the historical facts, because the vast majority of Germans were followers and supporters of the German Nazi government at least since 1936, thus they were Nazis. In fact, the Nazis is actually a synonym for the entire nation, but it is definitely not used that way, by the Western pro-German propaganda including Hollywood. A very successful propaganda! This is way also most people around the world because of this propaganda now use the term Nazis and not German in connection with the 2nd World War and the crimes. Yes, there are always good Germans in Hollywood movies about World War II. It was only logical that a movie was given the title "The Good German". There really is such a movie with the title "The Good German". Mind you in connection with the 2nd World War! Thus the completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation was whitewashed by the Western propaganda machine, which Hollywood is a part of. The Good German is then also Oscar Schindler, which you use to whitewash the Germans. But that propaganda didn't work for everyone, because Poles actually always say with reference to the Second World War, the German occupation, etc. GERMANS and not Nazis. Because the Poles know against whom was fought in this war. Because it was fighting the entire nation and a not only a political party.

They both made it out of this horror alive ? Wow. My direct relatives where luckily either too young or too old to get conscripted. But my great uncle served on the eastern front. He also survived because he ate the rotten bread they gave him in the prisoner camp. Many of those who couldnt swallow it died of hunger and exhaustion. And the big love of my great aunt fell at Charkov in 43. She was single for her whole life afterwards, like many german women of this generation. She died in 2017 at the age of 92. I am thankfull to her that she talked about these hard years to me and my generation. My granpa and both grandmas didnt like to talk about it. Maybe my paternal granma will one day, she is still healthy for her age at almost 90 and the last of her generation in my family. She is such a kind and lovely human being. We still can learn alot from them. If you have relatives who lived during this time, share as many hours as possible with them. They wont be around for much longer. And with them dies a real appreciation for peace.

@@gothia6515 Indeed, one shall learn from them while they are still around. My grandparents are not anymore. They were incredibly kind, just as you are describing your relatives. They were also incredibly hardened. The plight of the women during and after the war would deserve more mentioning. My grandma e.g. was a farm girl in Lower Austria, and remembered how marauding escort fighters, "Tiefflieger" as the were called, shot at everything that moved. Trains, horses, people digging up potatoes. Then, the Russians came. Then, the hunger years.

Wow, our grandpas ended up with a pretty similar ending, except that mine were with the Red Army. One was injured in the leg on the outskirts of Moscow and sent back home, the other made it through the whole war. None of them talked about it in detail, which I assume is because of the horrors they witnessed

ButtHeDinduNuffin How you managed to get a minimum of two people to like your comment is beyond me, because that might be the most idiotic thing I’ve read this week. I would say that a bigger embarrassment to the German people was the myriad of atrocities and crimes against humanity committed at the command of the Nazi party, and fuckwits like you that convince themselves that these atrocities aren’t a dark stain on the history of our species. You’re either a Nazi sympathizer or an ignoramus. Either way, you’re willfully stupid.

@ButtHeDinduNuffin There's a difference between being a coward, and choosing to have good fucking morales. What the germans fought was not for courage, honour, or anything. It was for one mans sick ideology. Men like him were stronger, choosing not to follow for what they knew was wrong. The german army hung unarmed civilians in Poland and Belgium!, and that is not more embarrassing??!!!. I find it funny how you don't even mentioned the shit the Germans put people through.

I honestly believe 99% of German soldiers probably acted just like your great uncle did. There was no "PTSD counseling" back then so they were pretty much forced to suppress their memories and feelings and just try to carry on with life the best they could. But it was obvious they suffered a LOT on the inside. So it's admirable that a nation like Germany can still learn powerful lessons from people like your great uncle. I just wish these Trumpers in America would learn the same lessons. They honestly remind me of the Nazi mindset so much and it sickens me to my core.

@@JoeZaccaris What's wrong with Trumpers? I mean I'm not sure what Trump is promoting in general, but the LGBT agenda and the worship of African Americans really won't lead to anything good. They are already spoiling wonderful films and TV series with this agenda. So if Trump is trying to reduce the worship of all this minority - that 's right !

@@JoeZaccaris SS were literally demons. And Croatian Ustashe were even worse by comparison. Those were not normal soldiers. The way they killed innocent people, especially babies, would make your skin crawl. For example, they would throw babies into the air and hold a knife upright and position it so that the baby falls directly on top of it, in front of their mothers. Or just throw them against the wall/stomp on them. You cannot tell me that the entire country of people is 'unlocked' to do those sorts of things. Yes, people are capable of doing those things, but on that scale and with that much enjoyment? Nope. You had to be a special kind of fuсked up. But every country has people like this. Also, you likening Trump supporters to these types of people shows me i pretty much wasted my time writing this comment, since you are either A: clueless beyond belief, or B: a total fuсkin idiot.

In Russia, veterans (those who actually fought, and not clerks with commemorative medals), as a rule, also did not particularly tell anything even to their relatives. It's not a thing to brag about, these scars will never heal. I'm interested in war dramas and have watched a lot of movies and a lot of books on the subject, good and bad. A revelation for me was the book "War Does Not Have a Woman's Face". This should be translated into all the languages of the world, and hammered into the heads of brainless boys before they take up arms and go to the next "fun war".

My Opa too rarely discussed the war but I’d always see him sitting in his chair in the afternoon before dinner with a shaky leg and staring into space clearly remembering He was a very kindly man who did woodworking with me as a small child and taught me to solder circuits to learn about electricity and taught me German and Spanish I miss him very much South Australia

That's true about veterans attitude towards weapons, shooting etc. My grandfather got a hunting gun as a gift but never used it, it was laying on the shelf without ammos. And when they were to move to another city, he just disassembled it and thrown the parts away on his way to that another city. Red Army infantry, since 1942 - Stalingrad, Kursk, Dnieper, Budapest, Vienna.

@@zloymyx2486 Indeed. Same goes for my granddad who was part of the Wehrmacht and survived the battle of Stalingrad. He would never go into details of what happened and only said once that Stalingrad was a place far worse than anyone could ever imagine hell to be

My dad was 16 when the Russians invaded Latvia in 1939, he came to Canada at , 18. I remember when he would get drunk with polish, Ukrainian and German neighbors. They would argue, drink, swear, and sing their lungs out. This was in the 80s in Toronto canada

Not me. I love to challenge people and can defuse volatile situations. Armed ones included. That officer is harsh abd brutal. but he'll respect you if you challenge him. IF you can speak up and use good logic and reasoning. You saw the result of failing to do that when he asked "Do you want to be an officer?" That was a golden ticket. He was inviting you to challenge him. The average person doesn't have that kind of skill/talent though. If someone doesn't have that experince then they're ill prepared. Only when you know pain and suffering to extremes, only when you have been that monster will you understand. Monsters themselves aren't the problem. It's a matter of which monster can be trusted. Which is honest. Which is a liar that doesn't even know what they do? To quote Batman: "We''re all monsters". Be wary of those that pretend otherwise. They're speaking from ignorance.

Unbelievable! 12 million watched these German propaganda lies! This propaganda is intended to give the impression that the Nazi soldiers were ordinary soldiers. But that's a lie, because these were soldiers of a criminal Nazi army. By the way, no German soldier was punished for not wanting to take part in shootings. By the way, there were always enough volunteers. There was no compulsion to obey orders behind which German soldiers were hiding after the war. The massacre of Józefów in Poland, in which 1,500 civilians were murdered by the Wehrmacht, made it clear that there was no compulsion to obey orders when shootings were carried out. Because only volunteers took part in the shootings and there were always enough of them. It is known that during this massacre the German battalion commander Trapp offered that those who did not feel up to the task did not have to take part in the shooting of civilians . A few did not want to take part, but the vast majority had no problem taking part in the shooting. From this overwhelming majority, soldiers were then ordered to the shooting. This meant that no soldier who refused to take part in the shootings could invoke compulsion to obey orders, because the possibility of freedom of decision without consequences was given.

What moved you so much for what I said? I asked for movies with similar atmosphere and what if I love the aesthetic? The old buildings architecture, the clothes and most importantly the winter and that cozy feeling of sitting warm inside when the storm is outside going wild.

When I asked him why he served in the Navy all he said was " the Emperor commanded us to fight. So we fought. Later on he commanded us to surrender. We obeyed. " That was all. No high faluting sense of honor or moral principles involved. Plain blind loyalty and obedience to the Emperor.

I'm Navajo, my grandfather fought in WWII to serve along side Americans, not for honor but a duty to defend our homeland as a newly recognized American Citizen.

How interesting to read it, guys....My great grandfather was HERO OF USSR. HE FOUGHT FROM 1943 TO 1945. He advanced to Berlin. Whole life he hated this war and sometimes cried...

War, in the end, is carried out by humans. Some people have a great strength within them to be kind and empathetic even in awful times. Some people use it as an opportunity to let the darkness in their hearts come out freely. Most people, just try and survive and do their job, and what they do comes down to the hearts of the people that give them orders.

That's interesting. I'm Ukrainian and my grandmother talked about how there was German artillery stationed near her house in a village. The soldiers came to her house and also gave her chocolate, which was a real luxury in the USSR at the time.

You can't always translate literally, because such phrasing does not make sense to foreign ears. If i say "ich glaub ich dreh hier durch!" Then you can't phrase it "I think i twist here through" but "I think i'm going crazy" "now it is finally enough" for example has a different emphasis, since finally is not used as a means of reaching a treshold but reaching a long awaited goal.

Teufer2, translation word-for-word often produces unnatural utterances in the target language. What sounds natural in German comes out weird in English.

Just some food for thought.

Wait... OK as I'm hearing this I'm making the biggest mistake asking this but if he was captured by Soviets I have to assume he was German soldier right? A nazi? Please explain what you mean by that?

@@Killgore-ip2yq hi, yes a German solider, German national. He believed in national socialism, but was not a nazi. He helped Argentina with their military tactics and training during the peron leadership , but eventually ran a successful car sales business. He never returned to Germany.

WHAT. a generation.

A child got shot on TV. We see dead children on TV in other films. It shows how harsh the reality of war (and other events) is. These days people turn a blind eye. Now the innocent suffer more so because of that blindness. People want to hide it. Until it explodes.
