Dirlewanger didn't die of natural causes - he was arrested, handed over the the French and they stuck him in prison - but they 'just happened' to stick him in a wing with Polish guards and Dirlewanger was beaten to death... Given the atrocities he comitted against the Poles he got off lightly....
The poles were dogs that found their teeth when England gave them support. The night of August 31 saw the Polish foreign minister running around Berlin looking for Hitler to tell him that Poland had changed their mind and that they agreed to the terms previously put forward. To late. Start learning Russian.

You might have to rethink yhat & do a little bit more research because i read of Durning & was found to have lied about being at Malmedy. He said he was Wounded so he'd have been awarded a Purple Heart, but wasn't on any Recorde, there was also something about his name being different? I always had this story tucked away but couldn't ever remember the Actors Name? ✌️
@@68majortomthat would require a diligent research with intense accuracy. Durning was no doubt infantry Normandy. I'm curious to know and settle the matter.
I was married to a Peiper and his father was a phyco and an animal I always wonder if he came to South Africa after the war ! Lots of the Germans went there and had a safe life !
Dirlewanger was beaten to death in French captivity. When I was a kid I talked with German relatives who were occupied by the French after the war. They received harsh and brutal treatment, and were rigidly oppressed.
People need to read, 'Murderous Elite: The Waffen-SS and Its Record of Atrocities' by James Pontollilo. It documents the crimes of every Waffen-SS division. It's a fascinating read, and a very hard one too. These men were.....well, buy the book.
The 12th SS massacred 156 Canadian prisoners after D-Day. It should be no surprise that Canadians refused to take SS prisoners. Why Kurt Meyer served 9 years for this crime is an injustice.
If the band of brothers scenes could be held to account the massacres weren't one sided.even regular german army suffered the fates that the SS did,especially in the days after Dday.

Indeed. Another thing comes to mind too: so the fact that the Jew state secret services after WW2 hunted down and captured many SS and Nazi members is fake news, because many above+mentioned members got away, became prominent MPs and right-wing politicians !!!😮😮😮
So, no justice then. All these death sentences commuted, converted to life sentences and then commuted again, released in a couple years for the torture rape murders they committed. Sickening.
We keep the evil safe and amongst us all. Then we wonder what has happened to the world. Modern man is blind deaf but they speak as if they can see and hear everything
Not all got off with light sentences but I think a good portion did. Here are a few that were executed and they were Hans Frank, Ernst Kartenbrunner, Arthur Seay’s-Inquart, Irma Grese, Rudolph Hoess, Herman’s Goring was scheduled to be executed but cheated the hangman by committing suicide, Dorothea Binz, Maria Mandell, Johanna Borman, Franz Bottger, Karl Brandt, Wilhelm Dorr, Adolf Eichmann, Amon Goth, and many others but yes most got off scott free while others were sentenced to life and got released in less than 10 years while others sentenced to death had sentences commuted. Way too many got off way too easy especially Sepp Dietrich and many others while others were assisted in escaping to S America with help from Bishop Hudal at the Vatican who was a Nazi sympathizer and he got them the necessary documents to go to S America via the so called “rat lines”.

Someone please explain to me why Hitler did what he did on 3:04. The soldiers were surrounded, they decided to retreat and fight for another day, and Hitler's epic idea to "punish" them was to strip them of a stupid arm band indicating they are elite soldiers. Like do politicians think petty stuff like these matter? Someone is dying and their worry is the arm band on their uniform that says whatever?
In reality they were probably long past caring at that point but unit morale is often tied up with traditions. One of the first things the Soviets did upon taking Berlin was rounding up all the ceremonial flags of various German units they could find and parading them. There is a photo of many of these flags and standards being held pointing to the ground by a line of soviet soldiers who are turned to face the camera. The Liebstandarte division were also ordered to remove their cuff which bore the signature of Adolf Hitler rather than the unit's name. As a bit of trivia, the name liebstandarte means life regiment and essentially bears the same name as the senior regiment of the British Army, the Life Guards. The Swedish Army also has a unit called the Life Regiment Hussars going back to a common theme amongst European armies.
@@AntonioPeralesdelHierro With all due respect to the British people, Churchill was a flawed individual on so many levels. He just happened to be a high social class boy at the right place at the right time. Good thing they got rid of him soon after the war ended, he could have destroyed Europe by waging war on the now over-powered communists.
My father (a WWII Infantry officer) told me long ago that they would rather face an SS unit than a standard Wehrmacht unit. The SS (mostly) were not elite fighters, and the Wehrmacht saw far more combat than the SS did. One thing the SS was was dedicated, so they didn't surrender easily - but that didn't make them elite units, just more ideologically driven. I worked with a couple of SS vets while stationed in Germany. One was an officer who had taught at their officer (Junker) school in Bad Tolz during the war. He was cleared by the US Army to work for us, so I gotta think his record was clean. BUT, he was a member of the SS, so not pure as the driven snow either. Most folks in my unit were unaware of his past - he just did his job and went home at the end of the day. Dude was married, but at his funeral all SEVEN of his mistresses and a ton of his children were there for it.
@@Headloser The SS were more of a political entity. Their training was different from the regular troops, and their leadership wasn't as good. Some units fought well, but most were not as effective as the Wehrmacht.
Not really, waffen ss is a paramilitary group, its different than the normal SS. They were better equiped than the normal Wehrmacth and the training also was tuffer than the normal WM.
While stationed in West Germany at Smith Kaserne in Aschaffenburg situated northwestern Bayern. Our barracks was a former SS base. There were still iron rings morticed in the walls of the motor pool where they tethered their horses. The fanatical unit there as well as the town avidly nazi gave a great fight to Patton and his forces trying to capture the city. The battle began on March 25, 1945 and after ten hard fought deadly days the SS stronghold finally surrendered. The combined forces of the 7th and 3rd Armies suffered 3,000 KIA, WIA, and MIA. In a news conference on April 7th 1945 Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson noted, "There is a lesson in respect to [fighting to the end] in Aschaffenburg. There nazi fanatics used the visible threat of two hangings to compel German soldiers and civilians to fight for over a week."
@@cruelpirate78the video said that the Waffen SS was part of the army which it isn’t. That’s the one I caught anyway. I’m about halfway through and he said that Himmler committed s*icide and showed a dead Hitler look alike that wasn’t either of them. Also said that when the bridges were taken out they all had to swim across the river. Those rivers were huge and many men probably didn’t know how to swim but the US built pontoon bridges. They didn’t swim across.
They thought they would get a pass with, "I was just following orders." Adolf, Himmler, and Goebbels all knew very well that that defense was not going to fly.
If the story I heard is true they were murdered in a very horrible and sadistic fashion. The Allies unfortunately also decided to take no prisoners on some occasions
@@armstronggermany2995 Unfortunately? Are you kidding me? The SS monsters and German nazis were mass murderers and war criminals who murdered over 30 million people!
Yes! My university didn’t allow wiki as a legitimate source. Wiki is full of lies and misinformation. In this case, they are actually noting something that some under 40 people are not aware of (what a failure of our public school system). But current crappola is also referenced because google (RU-vid) thinks we’re stupid, and they get it wrong. Often.
I was stationed in a former SS army barracks. It had the marks of a deadly fight in its walls - no SS survivors. We were told that after the massacre of POWs by the SS, Eisenhower gave orders to take no SS prisoners. The Russians had the same orders - no prisoners with SS insignias. I'm not sure what US troops actually did, but the Russians mowed them down and did the same to German regular army.
Eisenhower - the Supreme Allied Commander absolutely would not have given an order to take no SS as prisoners. These type of decisions in War are typically done at a much lower level and depended on what unit you were in and what your soldiers had been through.
@@luckycharm4623 Maybe, but SS fought to the death, if they had the choice, and many US troops refused to accept a surrender from SS troops. One story (not mine): My father jumped into Normandy with the 101st Airborne. He said that when another Screaming Eagle was found hanged from a concrete telephone pole that the word quickly went out that the perpetrators were SS. Dad said after that that paratroopers “declined “ to accept the surrender of any SS they encountered.
@@luckycharm4623 Not all orders were written, and there was no effort to stop the summary execution of SS troops, which had to be known by commanders up the line.

BS. As this video documents, the SS WWII survivors did everything they could to get "quarter". All SS members should have been turned over to the USSR after the war.
got off with a bad start there...already in the first sentence...SS was NOT part of the german army...it was it own,separate, army, not under Wehrmacht control.
7:08 that’s not Himmler. It’s not even Hitler but a look a like. Also when the bridges were bombed they didn’t have to swim across. They built pontoon bridges. I think even the Russians got across without swimming.
There were SS units formed in western countries. When they returned home it was not unusual for them to be prosecuted. The French did not want former French SS members who were captured to be returned to France. However, France did hire a number of German SS veterans and sent them to Vietnam.as Legionaries.
the germans lost TWO world wars in the 20th century.........but after about 10 years after WW2, germany had (and still has to this day) one of the highest living standards in the world!!! RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not exactly correct on survival rates for POWs. Axis soldiers captured by the Soviets had a survival rate of about 60% whereas a Soviet soldier captured by the Germans has a survival rate of about 40%. No which way you paint it the nazis were assholes.
Yes, 'their' actions are unforgivable. And most of 'them' are dead. WWII ended 79 years ago today. How many German WWII veterans do you imagine are still alive? German civilians were brutalized by both Allied AND German soldiers at the close of WWII. Germany today is not the Germany of the 1940s. It happens to be a beautiful country. Why wouldn't people visit?
The past is not to be forgotten but prejudice should be. My daughter married to a German was at a wedding recently where some English people and their children were also guests. Her young son , fluent in English, came to her at one point telling her that one of the children who he had tried to engage with on discovering he was German had told him , ' we dont talk to Germans". Fortunately we got to England in the 9th century, but its a close run thing.
Karl wolf was directly aided by the OSS and Allen Dulles, future director of the CIA, considered his rescue to be the crowning achievement of his wartime service.
Lots of SS soldiers ended up in the French Foreign Legion, where their original names and wartime records (but not tattoos) were expunged, and some even fought, and surrendered, at Dien Bien Phu. At the same time, some American Marines reported seeing SS tattoos on fellow Marines who spoke with accents. The Cold War effectively ended de-Nazification efforts by the West, and provided sanctuary for former SS soldiers.
It is not wikin, but Ss-Wiking, the international SS brigade in which Dutch volunteers served, underwriting the racial ideology and standards. The name refers to Norse languages, in which the V is pronounced as W.
The SS was NOT the ELITE of the German Army. The German Army was the Wehrmacht, while the Waffen-SS constituted a separate paramilitary body,much like the Praetorians of Rome. They took a special oath of obedience to the Führer. They were quite similar to the Janizzaries,or the Jesuits. The Jesuits take a special FOURTH VOW of obedience to the Pope.
@@paulgentile1024 I know. It's funny, though, that Stalin was a student in a religious seminary,...of all places. Look at his fanatical group.🙄 Mao Tse Tung was a librarian🤯
Much as the British soldiers, Black and Tans, and the notorious Auxiliaries who committed atrocities in Ireland after WW1 and later during the 'Troubles' were never even put on trial.
Because they didn't commit atrocities on an industrial scale doesn't absolve them of guilt. Look at the concentration camps in South Africa during the Boer War. It's a pattern. No country is willing to admit its own crimes which is hardly surprising. Britain likes to portray itself as decent and fair, admitting to their mistakes would undermine the image that they want to propagate. All Nations have the potential to follow the path of Nazi Germany. All countries.
@@tigerland4328 No, they were worse. They never showed a bit of remorse over the killings of innocent women and children. The British government told them it was proud of what they had done. Mountbatten ordered the machine gunning of peaceful protesters, all of them women and children and was proud of it. The official count was in the hundreds, but the British only counted those who died in hospitals or on site. Many hundreds more died at home and were never counted. Mountbatten afterwards said, “ They were traitorous Irish dogs and deserved whatever they got.” The royal family blocked most of the inquiry into the deaths and still blocks inquiries even today. Mountbattens actions exacerbated the troubles and extended them for decades. The fact that the policy of no inquiries into atrocities committed by the army became standard procedure didn’t help.
The fact that the British didn't commit atrocities on an industrial scale doesn't make them less guilty. Even now they are covering up war crimes their soldiers perpetrated in Afghanistan, with the government refusing to give details and, be open and honest about it. The British have always sought to present themselves as decent and fair. 'The Good Guys' .To admit their dreadful deeds would reflect badly on them. Look at the concentration camps they ran in South Africa during the Boer War. Its a pattern of behaviour. These horrors too have been swept under the carpet. If we don't talk about them they never happened, and we can go on deluding ourselves. In not delivering real justice the Germans could pretend that their husbands, brothers and sons were also merely doing their duty, no more. This kind of behaviour is universal. All countries are capable of this kind of behaviour. All countries.
@@richardbeckenbaugh1805 but the British never attempted to wipe out the Irish people for ideological reasons like the SS did in Poland and the soviet union. There was no British extermination camps in Ireland,the Irish people were never subjected to inhumane medical experimentation and the British never attempted to murder the entire Irish race for the benefit of themselves. Anyone who thinks the British are worse or equally as bad as the Nazis doesn't know history.
@@chrism3872Take a closer look at the Asov battalions in todays Ukraine, or Stepan Bandera, who was behind atrocities committed against Poles and Jews, which were so horrendous, even the Nazis were shocked. The ignorance of many, when it comes to Ukraine, is in itself, disturbing.
Of the German POWs that made it to Soviet POW camps in the rear areas over 80% survived. The death toll is skewed by the high percentage of Stalingrad POW fatalities due to their starvation before capture. It was the prisoner taking and initial processing that was the most lethal for any German combatant. There seemed to be an unofficial order to shoot anyone caught with death head symbols on their uniforms. A policy which proved deadly for a lot off Panzer troops who had a different death head emblem from the SS.
The Waffen SS was a criminal gang with a gang leader to whom they all swore loyalty and total obedience to commit whatever crime they may have been ordered to. AND they all had an identifying tattoo so when the end came they were easy to find and deal with, ridding the world of the SS. Today we have(had?) the criminal gangs of El Salvador….nowhere near as bad as the SS but they too have the Tattoo and it has made them easy to find and deal with in a country where just “being a member” is crime enough for long long prison sentences…makes them easy to round up. El Salvador is practically crime free now, apparently.
the allies murdered more German civilians, woman and children than the waffen SS ever did to allied POWs look up allied fire storm bombings on hamburg, Dresden ect when at wars end, only months weeks left, for no reason the allies kept carpet bombing German city's creating firestorms , killing tens of thousands old men , woman, and children not one allied officer charged with war crimes for thousands of deaths due to these bombing raids
The Germans were super soldiers there's no doubt. The Germans of ww2 are among the greatest forces of all time. A lesser country and military wouldn't have accomplished the feats they did. This is in no way a backing of what they did. I would say they were doing what they thought was right, being told something over and over and really believing you were doing the right thing for your family and country is all a soldier can do. You have plenty of countries today that have totally different beliefs, that don't even see the world in a similar way, yet there's none that have almost taken over the world like these brave German men did.
Far from a oxymoron. There's plenty of righteous reasons for war. The man who doesn't believe anything is worth going to war for is much worse than the soldier fighting for what's right.

American troops committed at least two massacres of German troops including SS and Wehrmacht in late 1944 but that is usually glossed over or ignored. Many ethnic Germans who were born outside of the Reich could not join the Wehrmacht but had to join the SS,
American soldiers were told not to take waffen SS prisoners, the aftermath of such things like malmedy, and they shot unarmed surrendering German SS soldiers. Thousands were killed. You haven't mentioned this atrocity. The russians did the same thing too.
Conspiracy is that Nazi Germany were not far from producing the atom bomb. Analysing the situation at the end of war and Red Army approaching. Nazis understood Russian won't stop even they nuke Moscow. So they made a deal with Americans and passed know-how of Nazi atomic programme. Nazis "CIA" rightly predicted and I personally believe helped to start Cold War. As they understand Russian soul and Stalin paranoia much better than anyone else in The West.

My great uncle, that would be my grandfathers brother served in the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler. He was a tank commander towards the end of the war and he survived the war. As a young kid, we all heard what he endured. What I can tell you is this, the first casualty of war is the truth. First of all, the Waffen SS weren't some superhuman elite killing machine nor did they believe that propaganda BS, what they were, was a dedicated fighting force that didn't cower or run. They weren't some fanatical hyped up drugged lunatics. The US military today has a branch very close to what they were, they are called US Marines. Second, were war crimes committed by the Waffen SS ? Of course there were, but it wasn't policy nor was that crap ordered. Here is something to think about, all sides committed war crimes, you just don't hear about it, the reason you don't hear about it is because the Allies won, so you can only read about the victors version of history. No war ever fought was clean or fair nor will any future be fought fair and clean.
The SS were also an industrial power within the Reich in that they had control of forced labour, who died in their millions manufacturing weapons and war material for the SS. For every SS man who was killed in action, far more civilian PoWs died in SS run camps. Every SS unit had blood on it's hands from the start of the war to the very end.
Whatever. The allies had morals and a Biblical worldview and the Germans supported the hate and evil of the NAZI party and the 3rd Reicht. No true Nazi beleiver deserves to live. And they were drugged up lunatics....on Methamphetemines ....a fact. The SS were pure evil. Your BS is just that.
The Waffen S>S was not part of the German army, it was a seperate militarised political organisation. The traditional army resented, even hated them. They were not even elite just driven.
It was a kind of 4th branch. Compare it with US Army, Navy, Air Force , Marines.Average German soldiers were happy to know the "other ones" on their side. History is written by the winner of the war and Hollywood. The greatest enemie of historians and media is the contemporary witness.
Shut up. Like you'd do better 😂😂😂 I love when Germans get offended that foreigners mispronounced their typewriter language. It's not special 😂 just pig latin
That's an interesting assertion. It looks to me like fascist mentality is Alive and Well in the so-called neoliberal Progressive movements of america. In other words, fascism basically meaning that you force or make certain points of view become accepted and you simply do not tolerate and you wish to cancel out anyone else who has an opposing point of view. I actually see that coming way more from the left. But one thing is for sure, anything one extreme side of the political spectrum is guilty of, you can find evidence on the other. Yeah, I got a real kick out of people that just try to say Trump is a fascist without any real logical backing up behind it
Oh shut up. Jesus Christ. I doubt you pronounce foreign languages perfect 😂 with these A holes I'll call them how ever I want 😂 the "shit shuuffle" of the "wawafen ess ess" plz corrext my french lol😂😂😂😂😂
People joined the waffen SS for better equipment, cool uniforms and the sense that they were elite. That’s it. Same way a US marine thinks (minus the better equipment part lol). And as far as lowlife camp guards go that’s where the dregs went. It was an entirely different branch of the SS and one that the average German citizen knew nothing about. I will say this, my name is my real name and my grandmother (a Gräfin) was boiling grass and eating it to stay alive so the rations to feed pow‘s simply wasn’t there
Then they shouldn't have taken the POW's, they should have kept their bloody pervert business at home. The stupidity, barbarity, and arrogance are incredible.
The "elite" status of Waffen SS units was more a wishful thinking. These units were more fanatical and ruthless than well trained elite soldiers, like early Fallschirmjäger troops. But imagine a bunch of ruthless men charging without care at your position... A lot of normal soldiers, not trained for this kind of assault woug crumble and run. This is what made the Waffen SS's reputation. Up to Bbarbarossa the Wehrmacht was furious abot SS losses! What surprises me, is the fact, many people frommallied nations consider their own troops war crimes justice, rather criminal murder! Even George S. Patton mentioned this and covered up war crimes by troops under his command. Not even war crimes in retaliation are just, they are still war crimes... It is also interesting that every (!) nation celebrates actions, when their Military inflicts enormous losses on their adversaries, but cry out, when on the receiving end...!?! And innocence is always the first victim in a war...
It was a kind of 4th branch. You can compare ist with US Army,Navy,Air Force , Marines. Only 10% of German Forces were been motorized. Average German Army was delighted to know the 4th branch next to their sides. The rest is written by the winner of the war and Hollywood. Nobbody cares about American atrocities.

*It is a mistake to confuse fanaticism with elitism. Many of the 𐌔𐌔 men mentioned in the various divisions in this video were not even Germans but Dutch and Scandinavian volunteers as well as Muslims from Bulgaria and French. Some were children just out of school as in the 𐌔𐌔-Hitler Jugend. They were provided with the latest and best tanks Germany could still produce and their high death toll had more to do with depleted units and insufficient training. Hardly elitist troops as claimed at the beginning of this video.*
There was no such thing as the "𐌔𐌔-Hitler Jugend" - there was only the "Hitler Jugend" (Hitler Youth) who mostly were drawn into Wehrmacht (regular army) duties. The SS also never was an elite group. It was a bunch of people who took the SS as an alternative career, when they fucked up elsewhere. The best example was Reinhard Heydrich, who was dishonorably discharged from German Navy and then applied for the SS. Himmler gave him a high rank because of his military training, but his morals were too bad and considered a burden vor german navy. Most of the Waffen-SS members had no real military training. Wehrmacht usually didn't consider SS as "real army" but as a bunch of blood thirsty murderers, their tactics during war often were chaotic and based on no military tactics at all. Also many pictures shown in the video above shows normal Wehrmacht soldiers.
@@isherwood9321 You are mistaken in your belief that the 𐌔𐌔-Hitler Jugend did not exist. Bear in mind that I was translating from the German language. The 12. 𐌔𐌔-Panzerdivision "Hitlerjugend" or the 𐌔𐌔-Division Hitlerjugend was a German armoured division of the Waffen-𐌔𐌔 during World War II. The majority of its junior enlisted men were drawn from members of the *Hitler Youth* while the senior NCOs and officers were from other Waffen-𐌔𐌔 divisions. Most of the enlisted men were teenagers, starting from the ages of 16 or even 15.

Soldiers are soldiers, and just like everyday people some are monsters hiddenin plain sight. Not all German soldiers were monsters, but the monsters that that were soldiers were some of the worst.
A Swedish volunteer to the Waffen SS ended up in the Wiking division. He had been an NCO in the Swedish Army and was disgusted by the amateurs in the division. They had enthusiasm, but lacked knowledge in most aspects of soldiering. That was both officers and regular soldiers.
