The Fallen Of World War II REACTION I Nigerian Reacts Emotional 

About 45,000 Nigerian soldiers served in WW2. Many served in India and Burma (Myanmar) fighting alongside British, Indian, Ghurka and other Africans against the Japanese. This was often fighting in thick jungle at close quarters. More than 800 African soldiers died, more than 3,000 were wounded in this fighting. All of them were volunteers and they will not be forgotten.

You two did a great job reacting to this, we as a human species will never be fully understood...we can love so much, and hate so much at the same time

"There is no such family in Russia where its hero would not be remembered"

Thank you ladies!

A cautionary tale for future generations, when people or nations are used as scape goats and when Good people do nothing. "If you give a dictator an inch, they'll take a mile."

Seeing those German and Soviets deaths, made me extremely upset and I cried uncontrollably. Especially when the Soviet death's kept climbing

Your reaction to this horror is understandable and fully agreed with by me. However, it isn't folks like us that get to determine when, why or where the next war will be. It's governments and dictators and supreme rulers that will do that. Then, it is the burden of their citizens who have to give their lives to support their positions. Don't get me wrong, I'm a viet nam vet and gladly served when I was needed. What really matters is that I won't be around to suffer the consequences of the next one, but, younger folks such as yourselves will have to carry this burden which will make all of the past suffering seem small in comparison. My heart goes out to you and everyone else that will have endured this when it happens. God Bless You All!!!

RIP and huge respect to all the fallen ex Yugoslavian soldiers that fought against the nazis in WW2,and respect to all the european and us soldiers.

For context - there are 12,000 people in my smallish town. We lost that amt in Okinawa. My whole town’s population. That is mind boggling. I was the same age as Anne Frank when I read her book. I’m just saying that it made me very thankful I never had to walk a day in her shoes.

Two beautiful hearts in these two ladies. This video is so well done and puts into relatable prospective the total devastation of WW2. Human beings should never again subject ourselves to such destruction and loss of life. We had better learn to share this planet and its limited resources more equitably and rationally and treat all humans, no matter their religion, race, gender, sexual identity, or politics etc because the next major war may be our last.

My grandfather died in Russia, he was a German soldier, he was there with a 1000 man company, but he was the only one that died at last

We can NEVER forget or history will repeat itself.

Amazing reaction! Peace and love to the both of you!

The concentration camps were a combination of forced labor camps, human experimentation sites, and internment/torture sites. Those providing the forced labor assembled weapons and other items for war for the Germans, including providing their own hair as raw materials to make uniforms (yes, some Nazi uniforms were made of human hair). However the more terrifying part of these camps was the scientific human experimentation. Much of what we know about communicable disease, sterile medical environments, organ transplants, and the absolute extremes which people can survive come from the Nazi concentration camps and Japanese Unit 731. I will not describe the experiments in detail here because the cruelty and depravity are unimagineable, and it's clear that the experimenters had to delude themselves that their subjects were not human in order to perform these experiments - this is also why there's a lot of focus on rhetoric whenever it dehumanizes certain groups - anyone who buys into that rhetoric may perpetrate such unimaginable evils on others. and just as an aside, most people are aware that the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare (so far) were deployed against the Japanese by the Americans, however most people are NOT aware, that 6 years prior Japan had been the first nation in WWII to use Weapons of Mass Destruction, in the form of biological weapons. Those weaponized plagues were developed by unit 731 and deployed against the Chinese population successfully, and unsuccessfully sent to the United States (the hot air balloons they used to deliver the samples fell over unpopulated forests and were not discovered until much later in the war, with the pathogens being mostly dead by then.).

This is one of the few videos where i go back to, to let me appreciate what we have in this day and age and especially in the upcoming troubling times with tensions rising again in eastern europe and east asia its still important to learn and appreciate what we have and could have and which goal should be chased and achieved and making progress towards that

You two are very genuine and very beautiful souls.

I'm Russian. My great-grandfather and my great-uncle returned from the war, but I can't watch this video without tears

World leaders should be made to watch this, at each election.

We call these men, the silent generation

Когда фашисты пришли в Россию, моей бабушке было около 14 лет. Всех женщин и подростков, которые не смогли спрятаться, немцы угнали в рабство в Германию! Моя бабушка очень мало рассказывала про то, что там творилось, ей было крайне тяжело об этом говорить. Но я помню все её немногочисленные рассказы, включая и то, что немцы на площадях торговали людьми в качестве рабов! Мою бабушку забрала семья немцев, для работы на какой-то фабрике. Её и других женщин и девочек-подростков, поселили в старом деревянном сарае. Рано утром их выгоняли из сарая и гнали под присмотром на фабрику, поздно вечером их приводили обратно и заталкивали в сарай. Вместо одежды, рабов одевали в мешковину, просто мешок из-под картошки. Кормили их 2 раза в день, какой-то очень жидкой похлёбкой, что было похоже на кипячёную воду, в которой плавали несколько кусочков варёных овощей или крупы! И так продолжалось 4 года. И при этом бабушка говорила, что их хозяева считались добрыми, потому, что они даже иногда лечили своих больных рабов! А многие другие хозяева были намного хуже! Мой дедушка воевал в младшем офицерском составе, в ПВО. Имел награды, среди которых есть орден Ленина и орден Красной звёзды. Он так же, лично сбил несколько фашистских самолётов. Он дошёл до Германии, брал Берлин. Они с товарищами освобождали рабов из тех самых сараев. И с моей бабушкой он так там и познакомился и они прожили вместе всю их жизнь! Дедушка рассказывал мне про войну намного больше больше, чем рассказывала бабушка. И пока другим детям перед сном, их родители рассказывали сказки, я просила своего дедушку, рассказывать мне о войне и всегда очень внимательно слушала. Так же, дедушка говорил мне, что не все немецкие солдаты были сволочами. Среди них были и хорошие люди, которые вообще не хотели воевать, но их силком гнали на войну. Таких было видно, они отличались от фашистов и от тех, кто просто старался притворяться нормальными людьми, когда все они попадали в плен к советским войскам. Дедушка говорил, что ему было жаль тех людей. Но конечно, намного, намного больше, ему было жаль тех, кого фашисты пришли убивать! И у моего дедушки и у моей бабушки, семьи были большие, по 11-12 детей, в то время это было абсолютно нормально. У них было много братьев и сестер и почти никого не осталось в живых. А среди единиц выживших, были несколько калек. Как не странно кому-то может показаться, но мой дедушка и после войны сохранил свою любовь ко всему живому, в том числе находил раненых животных и приносил их домой на лечение, даже будучи уже совсем стареньким и ослепшим. Говорил, что ценна любая жизнь и хоть он сам уже слепой, но он чувствует что есть животные рядом, которым нужна помощь, осиротевшие, больные, раненые, поэтому он и находит их, чтобы постараться хоть кому-то из них помочь! И мы с дедушкой выхаживали их. Не всех удалось спасти, но всё таки многим удалось помочь. И ещё мы с ним вместе сажали деревья и кусты. А сейчас, я вижу так много мерзопакостых, бездумных, подлых, жестоких людей в разных странах, которых я вообще не могу назвать людьми! Они ужасно относятся и к людям и к животным! К тому же, они ещё и всеми своими силами, стараются продвигать свои ложные "ценности"! Стараются внушать людям, что белое - это чёрное, а чёрное - это белое! И ещё натравливают людей друг на друга десятилетиями! И людей натравливают на животных! А ведь многие люди уже давно перестали задумываться над тем, кто и зачем всё это делает и перестав задумываться об этом, люди почти перестали этому сопротивляться. Вместо этого, они просто слепо следуют за всякими выродками и подчиняются им, вообще не думая о том, что происходит на самом деле и не думая о будущем! Так не должно быть! Если ты человек, то и оставайся человеком! Старайся не потерять себя, свою человечность в себе, свою духовность, свою душу! Иначе, ты уже не будешь человеком! Потому что мало просто называться человеком, нужно уметь им быть!

That is just crazy and good perspective he said here 3:10 of how huge scale and terrible the war was. All who died in the 13 year afganistan war is the same number of deaths in a single day on a beach.

16:56 That's not true, there was a war in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990's.

Loved your reaction! Got a new subscribers

That’s why it’s very important for armies to be on their best behavior because the other side will do the exact same thing (often taken it a step further) to your own troops.

So much russian sacrifice to win the war.. ❤

My hometown got burned down when the germans retreated, my grandmother and her children (including my dad) escaped the forced evacuation and managed to survive a hard winter up here in arctic norway, my granddad on dads side was called in as a soldier to guard the border towards russia before the germans attacked us, during the war due to our familyname they had to prove they where not jewish, also they where forced to work for the germans many times. On my mothers side there where several who fought the germans at the town of Narvik, that is where the Germans for the first time got stopped by allied forces, to they pulled out their troops and left the norwegians for themself.... after that it was 5 years of occupation.

Brings me to tears everyime I watch this. A whole generation of men dead.

beautiful reaction ❤

The sad part of this is , WW2 was one conflict milions died in chinas civil war just after ww2 , and 10s of milions died in europe in ww1 and of spanish flu at the end of the war . And miliones in the 1800s and percentages of population in wars preceding the 1800s and wars lasted decades and some cases centuries. .

A member of my family was in the Italian army and died in the Soviet Union. His feet were frozen and the army abandoned him during the retreat.

It died more Soviet soldiers in the war than there are people in my whole country... think about that...

My Grandfather was at Normandy.

sad; he failed to mention the war against Yugoslavia (at 16:39), so the statement is not really true

The diary of anne frank doesnt have a real ending to the book because she was captured by the nazis in the end.

When I watch this video, it comes to my mind, the lyrics of this song by Pink Floyd: "Us and them - And after all we're only ordinary men Me and you - God only knows it's not what we would choose, to do. 'Forward!' he cried from the rear - And the front rank died The General sat, and the lines on the map - Moved from side to side"

it breaks my heart when he says the average age was 23

Two beauties 🤗🤗 Greetings to you from Belarus..

And the long peace ended last year.

Liked the video. Canada wasn't included in the video who lost 44000 solders in WW2. They liberated the Netherlands along with USA etc. But wars still continue today in Ukraine and Sudan etc.

just think America did not want and if not for Pear Habor would have not been in the war, if that happened where would we be?

Thank you

I,m from Poland.Miracully nobody from my family died in 2 world war .

Ce qui est fou c'est que cette guerre est tellement horrible et à touché énormément de nation mais on ressent tous la meme chose quelques que soient notre langue car nous sommes tous des humains avant tout. vive la paix fuck la guerre

My grandfather Was 10 when yogoslavia was attacked. Im just happy that Macedonia where he live was bulgarian and that they didn't hate the Population like Croatia and serbia

The words that Stalin forbade the evacuation from Leningrad are a lie. Read about the "Road of Life", this highway through Lake Ladoga, medicines, weapons and ammunition were delivered to the city along with food, and people were evacuated from the city along it. Over 1.3 million people, primarily women and children, were evacuated over the roads during the siege.

the Germans were embarked on a Genocidal war. , right from the start. this accelerated with the invasion of USSR ... which turned out to be a disaster for them. the highest losses in 1944-45 as the Allies closed in on the Nazis. Germany was determined to win or go down in flames. they suffered the worst casualties in the last year of the war as "total war" enacted, anyone who would not fight was executed by flying courts martials - hanging or shooting deserters or defeatists.. they also murdered as many inmates of concentration camps as they could rather than leave them to be liberated by advancing Allies.

The only true way to defeat and enemy is to make them a friend. That, I think, is the key to the "long peace". Global economic integration and access to non-government-regulated information via the Internet has allowed all of us, as citizens of Earth, to grow closer to each other and slowly become friends. We can now easily share each other's food, music, and customs; making it much much harder to "other" each other. Love to my fellow Earthlings in Nigeria from the US. 👩‍❤‍👨🕊

There were more Americans died during the American Civil War between 1861 and 1865 than most other wars. There were battles were Americans lost anywhere between 20,000 and 30,000 per Battle.. Gettysburg PA, and the battle of Manassas, Virginia were two of the worst. Numbers are rough but the second battle of bull run killed somewhere around 20 or 25,000 people on each side so that’s around 40 or 50,000 people in a matter of just a couple days & Manassas is in northern Virginia..

The video cuts corners, at the end it omits a few facts. Europe is not a country of peace, and not only in 1956 there was a 10-day conflict (2,800 Hungarians, maybe 500 Soviets dead). The picture is worse than this. Greek-Turkish war in Cyprus." Prague "spring" 1968, Romanian revolution 1989-90, Yugoslav war 1991-1995, bombing of Serbia 1999, Kosovo 2008. And now the Russian-Ukrainian war. Although there was not as big a clash as in the World War, the number of dead is close to 1 million in all in conflict. So the Hungarian revolution of 1956 is only a small part of the cake.

The landing on the Omaha Beach is way not the most dramatic. way way not..

Во время войны военных погибло 16 милионов, а гражданских детей, стариков, женщин еще 12 милионов.

У меня пра бабушка была в таком лагере, а прадед был партизаном и досх пор войны например у нас в Донбассе против Украины. Они всё не могут нас оставить у на слишком много ресурсов но виновата не Украина а запод.......

Given the numbers, it's really no wonder that the Soviet forces carved a bloody path of retribution all the way to Berlin

Good video, but let me tell you that since the invention of the car, around 1880 the death toll in traffic has become unbelievable. It's a rough figure and it can be debated, but the average death toll in traffic since 1925, some 100 years ago, has been one million per year. Figure that out. Nobody seems to think about that when they take part in traffic. And if they think about it, all they can think of to solve the problem, is to build a shell around each and every participant in traffic. Use 1.5 tonnes of steel or use a helmet.

European countries haven't fought each other since? Really? Yugoslav war???

I find it pretty weird how he calls all German soldiers “Nazis” as if they were all convinced of that ideology. That’s really weird language. It would be like calling all the Soviet soldiers “communists” or all the Western Allied soldiers “liberals” or something.

Take in what lessons you can from the last world wars because the way things are going we might be shaping up for number three here in the next 10 years and I'm pretty sure nobody's going to be able to sit this one out

My grandfather fought in ww2 have was eventually captured at anzio during the last push by the germans to kick them off the beaches. Anyway after he was captured the germans found out he had done commando training and was sent to a cement work camp. He said they could see the concentration camps across the road and were threatened any trouble from you and you will be moved over. My grandfather never held a grudge after a year or so but he hated the nazi's till he died he was one of my heroes. Bertie watt, Gordon highlander

the real sufferers were colonies , my great grandfather was forcefully put in army to fight for british in world war 2 , he never returned . similar to that over 100k indian men died in the war . atleast europe got its land protected but we still remained under british control , about 5 million indians died in 1944 due to famine created by all the grains being collected and sent to britain for soldiers . africa and asia are the real sufferers and we were never acknowledged for all that we have suffered

One thing to take into account are the size and population of countries to the number of deaths

World War III has already begun. She just hasn't picked up steam yet. Projecting on the Second World War, it is now 1938-39 - the Anschluss of Austria, the invasion of Poland. Somewhere like that. At that time, too, few people understood that the Second World War had begun.

Just a comment to keep the algorithm going. 👍🏻

That's so disgusting, calling them "Nazi-Soldiers". My Grandpa was member of the SPD, even he was forced to fight in Russia.

Из 28 миллионов 16 миллионов это гражданские. В одном Ленинграде убили больше миллиона. А теперь спросите сколько гражданских убили русские. Меньше чем союзники которые стёрли Дрезден с карты. Сталин был очень добрый) пожалел немцев ) а ведь мог взять как римляне, десять жизней за одну. Цените это и живите с этим.

He was right

7:25 i am feeling so bad for russia that they in total lost 27 million in total also because im german by myself, and fun fact 80% of all fightings in WW2 was just between germany and the USSR, and btw thos 27 million casualties is nearly 31% of all casualties in total, but luckily it wasn't all thos 8.7 million that was killed by germany, cuz USSR had an doctrine that says that, if there soldiar retreats, so is there generals forced to kill them

Советский союз потерял более 22 миллионов граждан! Еслиб не Сталин то советские войска не брали бы Берлин! И многие страны сейчас бы разговаривали на немецком языке! В России в каждой семье помнят своего героя! И чтят память павших каждый год!!! Союзники пришли на помощь СССР только в 1943. Где они были раньше в 1941,42??? Смотрели с стороны! И когда Союз начал выбивать врага в Германию они пришли чтоб СССР все не досталось. И немцы зная что натворили в России смело сдавались союзникам!

27 000 000 СССР😢

You must see "Unconquered"

📌Never fight with Russians !!!!!!📌

Make love, not war

Все же как интересно построено это видео - СССР и Китай были такими негуманными к своему населению, прям жуть. Остальные почему-то других не желели, а эти своих. Какие-то байки про советскую армию постоянно рассказывают - молодцы. Чем - то попахивает...

Hey when you two talk during the video we can not hear what you say which is annoying because the video is too loud. You should let both the video and voices be the same volume or add subtitles to what you say

My country Denmark didn't really stand a chance in ww2

Keep in mind the losses analogically of the size of the population of the country. For example 1/3 of Greek men died similarly to other countries with a small sized population. Another thing in videos about WW2 it is that they never explain all the small countries significance and they go over it with a name reference and it's sad to do this and not give people the space for their history to be valid at least with one sentence. (i do not in every way, type, or form say in this comment that the other losses were not significant or important and tragic, i explain just one other fact about small countries just that)

African women are so beautiful. Yall are both solid 10/10

how smart do I have to be to realize how stupid I am?

This video needs updated The long peace is gone wars are now happening all over again including great power wars

Lets Just thank God that we were able to stop this when we were cuz undoubtedly it would have spread and gotten worse and worse if it wasn't

This is a USA part of WW2 history who was a part of the WW2 history.

I'm glad I have the right to defend my home or property from anyone trying to pull this bullshit. We are big fan's of the Constitution of the United States here in Texas!

Наши жертвы не будут забыты!

Great reaction! But since you are nigerians, why not do something about the nigerian war; 1967-1970 and the fight of the Biafrans against the Nigerian government. People in my generation Will always remember the suffering of the innocent Biafran children!

как паскудно умолчать про Югославию и Сербию!!!!

no rules in war, kill or be killed, Belson camp clean up typhoid

not nazis, the most of them was normal german soldiers ... wehrmacht...

Your reaction is kinda funny ....reacting like its happening right now

400,000 deaths and more wounded and disabled. By 1945 Americans were war weary and still facing the prospect of a million more deaths if we invaded Japan. The post war generations have no concept of what that feels like. They often are arrogant in their moralistic contempt for those who made the decision to drop the bombs.

Soviet Union lost 27 000 000 people in this war. Hitler like Zelensky - USA project

Don't seem to be much of a rockscene in Africa, any shows at all?

Frieden ist die Zeit zwischen zwei Kriegen

Y'all are both beautiful women

Вы неправы, правда за нами...

Today russians say "we can repeat"... Think about it

There’s a Cold War in the comment section between pro-Western and pro-Russian people, haha!😂😂😂😂

It is said that on the Eastern front, both sides gave no quarter and expected none in return. The Axis and Soviet forces fought each other with demonic fury, and unfortunately civilians were caught in between, in a brutal and desperate struggle where there was no such thing as an innocent bystander.

“Stalin’s cruelty towards his own people” - just the standard anti-communist bullshit

o7

And still we have learned nothing from this war or history

This documentary's estimation of how old soldiers from WW2 are now is a little off. My father was in England at 18 years old in 1943 and he died a few years ago at 94 years old. Soldiers still alive today from WW2 are in their 90s and Korean war vets would be in their 80s.
