The Fallen of WWII Reaction 

Nice to see you gentlemen again! Let’s goooooo!!!! 😎

"It just keeps going..." Americans were basically taught to believe D-Day "Won the War." The sacrifices our soldiers made was in no way dismissed. But it was a drop in the sea, compared to what the Soviets were made to bleed.

The Soviet Union suffered staggering losses duringg the initial Blizkrieg style invasion in 1941, they were not prepared or organized to properly deal with it and got almost run over. But when the Germans had to hold their advance the Soviets recovered by recruiting and training soldiers at a staggering rate, and they would recover all their losses in less than 3 months and just keep on increasing their military size. By late 1942 the Soviets started adopting many of the German tactics on top of the tactics developed by Soviet General Tukhachevsky who was purged in 1937. They never just threw random people into front line of combat. However during the battle of Stalingrad in Late 1942 they kept reinforcing with new soldiers and materials to keep on fighting, dragging out the battle for long enough for a whole new army basically to arrive and encircle the Germans who then slowly got destroyed and starved until they surrended. It is a myth by the Germans that they Soviets just kept coming at them, because that is what it felt like to them, since everytime they killed 1 soldier 2 more soldiers arrived, and when the Germans really started falling back they were almost outnumbered by 2 to 1, even though they had already taken 3.5 million Soviets prisoner and killed another 3 million. So in the minds of the Germans it was like this horde of men that just could not be beaten down.

In modern Russia, there is no family in which there would not be an ancestor who fought in this war, every family has its own hero and most people know where this hero fought, like my grandfather Tabakov Vasily Filippovich, who on October 14, 1941 was wounded and captured under city ​​of Yelnya. And it is our duty, as children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of heroes, to remember every Soviet hero who took part in this terrible war. Just like in other countries that have suffered losses, there are heroes whose sacrifice must be remembered.

Eastern front was absolutly hell on Earth.

"The irretrievable losses of the troops and forces of the army and navy amounted to almost 12 million servicemen. 4.5 million people went missing and were captured, 1.8 million returned home from captivity. 5.3 million people were forcibly taken to work from the occupied Soviet territories, 2.2 million of them died." "The total irretrievable human losses of the country - military personnel and civilians - amounted to 26.6 million people."

There is a book I believe it is called “Forgive us, Wolves” and it is from a German soldier who was involved in invading Russia it starts with his German pride and how he was told about how bad Russia is to the people and that they were liberating the Russian people from their ruthless government but as the book goes on and he sees more combat he realizes that his country is the ruthless invaders and that they are not liberators of the people. His story is probably what some soldiers experienced when you believe you are righteous it is easier to do bad things until you start to realize you are not on the right side.

This is honestly the most important video on RU-vid and I am so happy people still come back to watch it or discover it. Especially the ending of him giving us a more hopeful look at things. War is still within our nature, but thanks to the radio, the television, the internet. We as a humanity have better access to truly see the ugly horrible nature of war. We have grown more distasteful of it and always strive to find better diplomatic solutions. Sure, total peace is impossible, but every passing year has shown us that we have been striving to keep the peace as best as we could and that is what matters the most.

Every one of those figures of 1,000 represented 1,000 family groups...many more people are affected by one single death than just that person.

"we have been fighting for over 7 hours non stop today, there's Russian bodies for miles and miles, our guns are overheating, but they just Wont stop coming" -German Journal Stalingrad 1944

My Dad was born September 1930 and eventually went on to the Korean War. So he experienced a lot and saw ww2 as a teenager... the greatest generation isn't just because they fought WWII. They survived a depression where people starved on a massive scale only to create a massive economic powerhouse. These people survived on Depression stew: bread mixed in water or warm milk with a sprinkle of sugar. And that was if you were lucky enough to have shelter for a fire! My grandparents had jobs so they were considered well off. She'd send my Dad and uncle off to the homeless encampment in town with a big pot of Depression Stew. Dad had his first job at 7 to help make ends meet. These people knew what it meant to go without and care for your neighbor. When people started making money and getting back on their feet during the war, they sacrificed, truly went without for their country and their neighbors. They could have squirreled their money and take for themselves but they didn't. The thought process across the country was to do without. Us today could never do what they did. Its truly incomprehensible. That is why their the Greatest Generation. We today are pampered and given too much.

A common flaw and misconception in history teaching and the narration from this video is the way he lumps in all German soldiers as Nazis. It's an important fact to realize that the majority of German troops were very similar to any other soldier; just young men doing what they thought they had to do for their country. Not all of them followed or even agreed with Nazi doctrines.

you have to respect the Russians for what they did, absolutely amazing spirit that they had to do what they had to do, everyone and their mama fought the enemy and they drove the enemy back home and ended them there, amazing.

not only i like you guys's reactions, but you guys are well informed to about history and that's a really thumbs up from me

This is crazy, but do not forget that it happened 20 years after WW1.

Вот поэтому мы никак не можем забыть эту давно прошедшую войну День Победы 9 мая у нас главный праздник в году.

more than half of the male population of the USSR died in the war - official reports and this video only talks about military losses. Civilian losses are still not known - figures reach up to 30 million. When I was in high school and college, we used to gather groups to excavate World War II sites and found places where soldiers died. Personally, I find about 70 people. This practice has been carried out among all secondary educational institutions for more than 80 years. And the dead are still being found.

7:10 yeah, enemy at the gate is a great movie for learning battle for stalingrad. I literally bled from my ears

"The insight, that war should actually be forbidden. Actually!" -Helmut Schmidt (1918-2015)🚬 (emotional in Maischberger talk show) - German lieutenant in the Second World War -Head of Government of West Germany (1974-1982) -Crisis Mediator in the Cold War between Americans and Russians

The average life expectancy of an American in World War II is 10 years. During the Battle of Stalingrad, the average life expectancy of a soldier was 15 seconds. Just speaking of the contribution to the war of the USSR. Of course, the contribution of each country to the victory over Nazism was important, I am simply infuriated by the illiteracy of foreigners (especially Americans) in this matter

2 real good movies to check out (1959) "Stalingrad : Dogs, do you want to live forever" & (1993) "Stalingrad" they did a 2013 version also.

FROM MOTHER RUSSIA!!!

You guys might be interested in a good, very good, early Civil War film: "The Red Badge of Courage" 1951

So happy you guys covered this.

My best friend went to St Petersburg. The cemetery there is massive mounds representing the year of death rather than individual graves.

My pap pap was in the 102nd infantry in World War II through France, Belgium and Germany. He was Apart of one of the divisions that came across a concentration camp. My mom said he only talked about it one time in her entire life.

unfortunately the nazis (in terms of actual nazis, not just german soldiers), have absolutely no problem sleeping after what they did. and most german soldiers were fed meth so they werent exactly in right mind either (though it is important to say the usa tried to feed its soldiers drugs too).

So many tears, i from Russia😭

So first of all i have to apologize for my bad english, so please ignore the grammar failures. I am from Germany and to be honest with you, its shocking me right now, that there are so many people out there who dont know about the numbers of WW2... We learn it from the beginning at school so we will ever remember it and that is a very good thing so it wont happen again hopefully! Just one little note to it, not every german soldier in WW2 was a nazi. I have a real life experience my Grandfather told me. He was a navigator from a bomber plane in WW2. He told me that he could flight most of the planes himself, so one day a SS officer came to him and said that my grandfather had to fly him to Sweden, so he flew him. He stayed there for 2 days and had front leave for this time. He went to the nearest pub and began drinking... After some time in the pub one german soldier from the navy stood up and yelled "we sank some british ships last week and completly destroyed them!" everyone cheered... The next guy stood up and yelled "we threw over 20.000 bombs at England last week and destroyed many military targets!" everyone cheered... Then a SS soldier stood up and yelled "we killed over 40.000 jewish people the last week in the gaschambers!" everyone was quiet... THAT was the time when my grandfather recognized, "something has to be wrong here! Wth are we doing?" and he said that he could see it in many faces from the other soldiers.

Had a feeling you guys would get to this one. Great choice guys!👍

The first version of this video just showed the staggering scale of the deaths in WWII. Then they updated it with the perspective of how these losses compared to other conflicts past and present. As much as I thought the first part was important to understand the scale of the conflict in WWII, I think the second part is perhaps even more important. I think that if you talk to the average person on the street, they'll tell you that we live in terrible times, and the world is descending into war and chaos. That's what the news tells them every day. But if you actually look at the facts, you realize that we're living in the most peaceful and prosperous era that humanity on Earth has ever had.

6:40 It is unfortunate that the video always speaks of "Nazis" and "Nazi soldiers" instead of German soldiers. The Nazi party never had more than 15 % membership in the population and that already includes a lot of people who joined not because they believed in the ideology but out of fear and to protect themselves. The vast majority of the German population where not Nazis, and neither where the soldiers. Many (but not all) of the high ranking military officers where and people controlling the media where Nazis for sure, however their total numbers are comparatively small. American history classes always paint a picture of the mighty USA stopping Germany, however the reality is that while the western allies definetly had a part to play the real war was fought in the East, between Germany and the Soviet Union. Likewise, the US forces are always portrayed as heroic and the best, however they are not - far from it. US soldiers commited countless war crimes, including mass rapes during and after the war in both Japan and Germany, and the military command during the war specifically marked civilian targets as targets for bomb attacks (though not to the same extend as the British who specifically targeted hospitals, churches and schools, sometimes neglecting military targets altogether while specifically attacking the civilian areas). 12:00 Why are you so surprised? Soldiers have done that throughout history. US soldiers are killing civilians now, at this point in time, in countries like Yemen. And let's not get started with what happens in Ukraine right now. Or think about this: US soldiers during the pacific war killed more than 90 % of surrendering japanese soldiers, simply shooting them instead of accepting their surrender. And US forces did the same in Vietnam. In all three asian wars (the war in the pacific, the korean war and Vietnam) US soldiers are known to collect body parts, mostly scalps and facial skin, as trophies. Note that by focusing on US crimes I don't want to put all blame at the USA alone nor do I want to diminish the crimes of others, I want to somewhat counteract the false image the US media and propaganda show you all the time. PS. It is actually incorrect to say that WW2 started in 1939 if you include the war in Asia - Japan started its invasion of China in 1933, not 1939, which means that the fighting in the East lasted 12 years, not 6. 1939 is only the start of the war in Europe.

Every time he says the average age is 23, it hits me so hard. Boys and girls practically. Dying as pawns on a chessboard.

I've always had this thought experiment: imagine if they had smart phones and social media in WW2. Imagine the wealth of documented war crimes and murder we would be exposed to now. How many millions of instances of the most horrific footage would be recorded for all time for all to see and how would that shape us as a people in modern times. How different would we be socially and culturally?

in from germany and my grandfather was in stalingrad...he was in russian gulag for six years..he never NEVEr talked about the war

The bat bombs were a real thing, but they never made it out of the development / testing stage. Especially after an accident led to several being released with live bombs attached, which resulted in them burning down a hangar and a visiting general's car. We also had an idea for attaching bombs to cats for naval warfare, with the guy behind it reasoning that since cats hate water they would be able to guide the bombs toward the ships as they fell. I don't remember if that one even made it to a live test (though I doubt it), but the reasons we never actually tried it in the war should be pretty obvious.

One thing that must be corrected is the quote "The UK was sparred from a land invasion"; It was impossible to invade Great Britain. The British were not sparred. The Axis powers created a half-baked plan called 'Operation Sealion' which did not come to fruition as the generals and Hitler himself doubted it could ever work due to the Royal Navy obliterating them in the British isles. Infact there was a wargame of Operation Sealion becoming a reality that was conducted at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1974 and every single time the results determined the Axis powers would have failed - Hence why they abandoned the idea in real life.

Just remember the Soviet Union didn't officially gain a lot of the satellite countries until the end of the war. They might have been captured during the war but during that period they were just occupied.

You guys should DEFINITELY check out the band of brothers documentary

The bat fire bomb test was on Us soil and a couple of bats escaped and so they started fires in a US city Another reason for the USSR losses being so high, was due to the sever lack of material resources, but there was 1 flask of vodka for every soldier that could be refilled each day, until the end of the war Fun fact: when the war ended and the world celebrated the end, Moscow ran out of Vodka for 3 whole days as they were drinking so much each day that in the capital as soon as it was made, it was drunk

hi guys if you want visual of what happened on Omaha beach on the d-day landings and how so many Americans lost there lives, the movie saving private Ryan is a good start it's very well made, thanks for your reaction

The guy on the left has some interesting (crazy) ideas

US actually use firebombs in Tokyo and other japanesse cities before using the atom bombs but it was not napalm. Napalm was used in Vietnam.

I appreciate your sensitivity towards the deaths of Jews in the Holocaust. Some points that can be expanded on. When Jews arrived in the concentration/labor camps, often the oldest people were killed right away because they couldn’t work as slave labor. This is how many of my family members died. You wonder about how the soldiers could have carried out these horrible crimes. The propaganda of the Nazis starting in the early 1930’s made the German people look upon Jews as sub-human, mongrel dogs in need of eradication, the cause of all of Germany’s problems. Much easier to kill a sub-human animal than a human being.

Thing that brings me back from the numbers is the percentage of Poland. I can pull out my phone, scroll through my contacts, and every 6th name would be dead.

7:00 yo, the soviet soldier on the photo looks like the guy to the right

Oops, Siberians, not Serbians.

8:00 it's a myth made in western movies and although it did happen it happened in 1941 at the start of the invasion where young men with no training had to guard the trenches with 1 gun for 3 men after the destruction of the red army in the summer of 1941.

Hey, you can watch this, then you will understand more, why Russia today still celebrates the Victory: Артём Гришанов - Мир спас русский солдат / Russian soldier saved the world / World War 2

For a good sense of the WWII Eastern front ... the first half of "Barbarians At The Gate" is good (Soviet sniper) and all of "The Black Sea" (Soviet Naval Counterintelligence). The first is a movie, but it trails off at the middle ;-( ... so clips might be worth it. The second is an excellent TV miniseries (realistic but fictional) ... as good as any American made drama. In HS I read a two volume history of the Eastern front, based on German regimental diaries, by a Frenchman, that had been translated into English. Otherwise, like Sgt Schultz, I would "know nothing" ;-)

Satlingrad was not lost cause of civilians, the russian army encircled the germans in the town and Hitler never sent relief supplies, and the few relief forces were fought off by the russians. after thousands of deaths from not only the fighting but the cold and starvation the 6th Army surrendered against the orders of Hitler The Einsatzgruppen, were the mobile killing squads you see in the picture, they weren't soldiers, they were Nazis. They were apart of the SS, and in order to be in it you had to be a party member and go through certain training. There is a great documentary about them on Netflix, they even interview a former member, he tells how they trained them to execute people, even going so far as to teach how to do it without getting blood on you. and yes he regrets what he has done.

"On the blood of our sons, on the blood of our fathers!" Rtas'Vadum, Covenant fleetmaster

General Arnold when taking command of the Pacific Army Air Corps, stated that the bombs that were being used in Europe were the wrong kind of ordinance for the structures of Japan, so he had the 50 or so 500 pound bombloads halted and then loaded up the B-29's with thousands of smaller fire starting bombs instead, the burning of lower Tokyo, and all of Yokohama which cost more lives than both nuclear strikes combined, was recognized as particularly brutal and inhumane, so the fire bombings were halted by Presidential order.

The Soviet human wave tactic is a myth. That’s a Cold War stereotype of the “hordes of soviets”. In reality it wasn’t like that. It was very tactical and well thought out battle strategy. The whole soviets (including civilians) running at tanks with Soviet guns pointed at their backs if they retreated never actually happened.

The fire bombing of Japan happened in the 6 months prior to Hiroshima, and was made possible by the occupation of Iwo Jima (it had runways). Without the nukes, the plan was to use mustard gas? against millions of Japanese civilians (made at Rocky Mountain Arsenal outside of Denver). That gas and others were still there in storage decades later when I first lived in Denver. It was finally decommissioned when the US/Soviets agreed to a treaty limiting gas weapons. There were anticipated so many American casualties with a hostile landing in Japan, that a great many Purple Heart medals were made in 1945, the US is still using that stockpile to make awards. Yes, the Long/New Peace ended this year ;-(

Very interesting and sobering is the word.

The Fallen of WW2 video is excellent, even with the whole not all Germans were nazis. I'm sure it was one of those large project errors. Look at the ending credits. I can't exactly fault the guy for making an otherwise excellent breakdown without a few mistakes. Anyone with a lick of common sense would understand he wasn't referring to all Germans falling in that demograph.

Watch Generation War (Unsere Vater Unsere Mutter) you follow the lives of two brothers and their friends on the German side. That will give you a perspective of the otherside. Also Sabaton's - No Bullets fly The animated clip and watch it in its entirity

Keep in mind, not all the German soldiers were Nazis, they didn't believe in the Nazi cause, they were just fighting for Germany, the SS were the most loyal to the Nazi cause. Some of the high ranking individuals were loyal to that cause sadly.

The most accepted fact that the German Army invaded the Soviet Union at he WRONG time of the year is WRONG, they DID NOT invade into the Russian winter, they invaded on June 22nd of 1941, which was the beginning of SPRING time, this was NOT the reasons why the Russians lost so many people during the war.

WW2 action movie 🎥 recommendations 1. Midway 2019 2. When trumpets 🎺 fade 3. Memphis Bell 5. Red tails 6. Windtalkers. All of these movies are great but I highly recommend watching Midway.

It should also be mentioned that the majority of the German army were just soldiers who were on average young men between the ages of 16 and 25 and who simply fought for their country without carrying the Nazi ideology of their leaders in their hearts. And also to mention, that the first people who were taken to prisons and concentration camps were German citizens because they spoke out against the Nazi regime. And over 2 million died there too. And several 100 thousand more were executed or killed on the spot for saying a wrong word. And I think that the Germans also deserve to have the number of those who died mentioned in this video. But the enormous crime that the Nazi regime committed against its own people is never mentioned. But it should!

A haunting thought, the Jewish woman and child shown in the Mobile Groups photo were most likely dead within 15 to 30 seconds of that photo being taken. This is one of those videos that EVERYONE NEEDS to see. The SS personel who carried out these killing truly believed that Jews and Slavs were not human and that they (the SS) were doing good. There is a nice chunk disassociation and removal there. They had wives, they had children. I seriously doubt it bothered them much.

as a Russian, I can say that 27,000,000 million officially died, including civilians, not knowing how many military

in germany, the US and Britain bombed cities by first throwing air mines, that would blow open the roofs, than fire bombs would fall from a second bomber wave. many old german cities were made of wood and were burnt compleatly to the ground. In Japan they did the same. They also used bombs, that would be thrown into the reservoirs near the dam, to break it and cause a flood. Luckily that was not very successful.

11:45 Imagine you were a german kid 10 years prior the war. Your parents lost their business or jobs, you had the crappiest childhood possible - stealing, begging, skipping the school... And then that man with funny moustache gives you a rifle and points - those families prospered all this time for the price of your happiness. And then there is also peer pressure around you telling that the first and the meanest retaliator is THE man. What would you do? That crap pulls an animal out of a human person. :(

That bat bomb shit was literally invented by the First Lady’s dentist and the president some reason liked the idea

Ideals are peaceful. History is violent.

Most german soldiers were NOT forced to kill civilians. They were not threatened to be shot if the didn't do it. But many of them did it anyway. That's the really horrible thing.

A few reasons the USSR lost so many soldiers against the third reich. To begin with the USSR military was taken completely by surprise so their military wasn't mobilised and not in good positions their army was about half the size of German's invading force. 2nd for the first year of conflict the soviet army was unequipped and under supplied with some even obsolete equipment especially tanks so that led to a long bloody retreat or entire armies being cut off and surrounded until essentially to the outskirts of Moscow and stalingrad further south . 3rd the soviet army was inexperienced and when they went on the offensive attacking entrenched and battle hardened and experienced soldiers they paid dearly for it just like the allies did on D-day.

Actually it’s wrong. Soviet Union last 27 million people, not 8 million

"Russians had Serbian troops that were trained...." ... did you mean "siberian"?

This is what annoys me when some Americans (not all obviously) think the US did it all themselves and paint WW2 as a US victory alone. Ignoring the massive sacrifices other countries, especially Russia made for that victory to happen. My uncle taught in a US high school from 1992 to 1994. He said he was shocked to discover few if any even knew other countries were even involved in the war. I'm assuming education has changed considerably since then, but you still find people who still think that was how it went down.

Part of the problem with huge Soviet casualties was the execution of their most experienced generals by Stalin. He was ruthless in dispatching his officers if they displeased him, so they were under poor, inexperienced leadership until Zukhov was restored to command the western front of the Russian campaign. And let’s not forget that Stalin sold Germany oil which enabled them to start this war on the continent. Needless to say, I’m not a fan of Stalin; he was just as brutal as Hitler. Of course the Soviets fought ferociously, they were invaded and Germany was an existential threat.

Got to the glorious month for me

While deaths on D-Day were terrible, Allied leaders expected it would cost 25,000 lives across the American, British, Canadian, and Free French forces parachuting behind the lines and landing on the beaches, or 10 times the number of Americans who fell that day. The Yugoslavs were brave ass people, executing a robust and costly resistance campaign while under Nazi occupation, accounting for their disproportionate losses in the war. Actor Brian Dennehy was among the Allies who delivered arms to the Slavs on extremely dangerous missions. 8.7 million Soviet military losses is a laughable figure. The number is far closer to 14 million than 8.7. Stalin was infuriated that the British and Americans hadn’t invaded France in 1942 or 1943, relieving pressure off of his forces. The number of Soviet deaths can also be explained by the size of the forces opposite them. The Allies faced 2-3 Nazi divisions at a time on the western front. The Soviets never faced fewer than 20 divisions. It’s often misunderstood why Hitler decided to invade the Soviet Union. The answer lies in the oil rich fields that laid behind Stalingrad. Just like the Japanese, the Germans couldn’t obtain enough oil to power their vast war efforts. 16% of all Poles is effectively 1 person in 6 of their entire population. The liquidation of the Jews drove that number substantially. The roots of the holocaust can be traced to Lithuania where Jews were being killed in mass numbers prior to the war. Hitler recognized that no one was objecting in any meaningful fashion, effectively green lighting his own mass extermination plan. With respect to Nazis having little choice to murder Jews while engaged in the war, there were exceptions. Field Marshal Rommel consistently ignored orders to round up and ship Jews to concentration camps. He was also known for treating enemy POWs humanely.

Great Vid once again Guys. I recommend reacting to "Memoirs of WW2" and "Oversimplified WW2" two great channels that do great WW2 themed Content

7:29 someone is playing chess

The only thing i criticise about this, is that they call the germans soldiers "Nazi" Soldiers. The SS Division were the Nazis, not the Wehrmacht Soldiers who fought on the eastern and western front. They really need to get their terms straight when it comes to things like this!

The bat bombs were never dropped on Japan.

Именно поэтому это праздник со слезами на глазах. Славянский народ сражался не за режимы, а за свое выживание. Сталин великий лидер. Рузвельт и Черчель признавали что им не удалось бы совладать с Германией без СССР. That is why it is a holiday with tears in your eyes. The Slavic people fought not for regimes, but for their survival. Stalin is a great leader. Roosevelt and Churchill admitted that they would not have been able to cope with Germany without the USSR

I live in Alabama, and my niece is 11 years old. I showed her this video and she told me she still doesn't quite get just how to imagine 70 million people, so I told her to look at it this way. The numbers are hotly disputed and are much more likely between 75 to 85 million people. Now imagine you woke up tomorrow to find out that every single person in all of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas were dead. Your family, your friends, every stranger you've ever met, every face you've ever seen, all dead. You were the only one left alive in a sea of death for hundreds of miles in every direction. That was the cost of World War 2.

There is absolute ZERO evidence that suggests German soldiers who refused to commit atrocities received any punishment whatsoever. Most who took part did so eagerly and those that weren’t too keen on the idea still followed through because of simple reasons like peer pressure or the fear that they could miss out on promotions or other career opportunities if they didn’t. Also, a disproportionate amount of the Nazi executioners were recruited from the police, so interpret that as you may. This laissez-faire attitude is also why the Nazis were able to seize power so effortlessly. Moderates and other know-nothing Germans sided with the Nazis because they had a little extra money in their pockets and so they willingly chose to ignore the atrocities that were committed right out in the open. There’s this recent notion that the Germans were held captive by their state and were victims on par with the Soviets or Jews, but that is simply ahistorical and diminishes what we can learn from them. After the initial victories of the war, the overwhelming vast majority of the German people were pro-Nazi and they only turned on the state when things started to turn south for them. Even after the war, the majority of Germans found other people and reasons to blame for their loss instead of Hitler.

The start is just about military deaths, not civilians in stalingrad. So no it’s not true partially

This was interesting but please adjust your audio. In order for the video to be audible, your voice audio became loud enough to wake up people 2 streets away... Either raise the volume on the videos you're reacting to, or lower your personal audio. :)

A tip which may help - The viewer can barely hear the narration in the WW2 video, there is a real mismatch between the volume of these three dudes talking versus the volume of the video set by the fat guy in the middle. So a viewer either increases the volume high enough to hear the WW2 video, but every time these three talk, the volume is SUPERHIGH and deafeaning. Or else set the volume lower to such that your ears aren’t splitting when these three talk, but you won’t hear anything in the video itself, just be happy to watch the little picture on the screen on close to mute level.

This video irritates me as the writer/narrator does not distinguish between the Nazi Party, which was a political party, and a military branch. The SS was the military arm of the Nazi Party. The German Army was called Wehrmacht. Navy was Kriegsmarine. Air Force was Luftwaffe.

another good movie for review.. enemy at the gates.. cool reactions guys..

just watch a video on the civil war. then you'll realize why any man would give their life for what they believe in. whether that be influenced by propaganda or true passion for ones country or beliefs. we all have the potential for evil. every single one of us. its important to realize that and still commend all these young men who fought these wars (on all sides) for their righteous and glorious path they chose to take. its the only reason were here right now on youtube talking about it. yin and yang baby lol

Britons and Americans often don't understand why we smile at them when they speak so proudly of the Second World War and how heroic it was. For me as a german and for many other germans the second world war was mainly in the east and the western front was more a marginal battle that you can watch in hollywood movies every few years nicely reworked from an angloamerican point of view.

You guys should react to the video 5 most haunting photos of WW2

The estimate was the US would lose 100s of thousand to go into Japan. So they dropped the two nuclear bombs to end the war.

9 million dead children were also enlisted as soldiers? There are official figures of combat losses. The West counts only the Wehrmacht, not counting auxiliary and allied armies. Back in the 80s, military historians calculated. The losses in the armed forces of the Nazis and their accomplices were 1.5 million more. There was a schedule. 1943-the year the losses equaled.

Given he is counting China and Japans numbers. It was 8 years from 1937-1945

"It would be wrong to think that the Second World War arose accidentally or as a result of the mistakes of certain statesmen, although mistakes certainly took place. In fact, the war arose as an inevitable result of the development of world economic and political forces on the basis of modern monopolistic capitalism. Marxists have repeatedly stated that the capitalist system of the world economy conceals elements of a general crisis and military clashes, and that, in view of this, the development of world capitalism in our time does not take place in the form of smooth and uniform progress, but through crises and military catastrophes. The fact is that the uneven development of capitalist countries usually leads over time to a sharp imbalance within the global system of capitalism, and that group of capitalist countries that considers themselves less well-off with raw materials and sales markets usually makes attempts to change the situation and redo the "spheres of influence” in their favor by using armed force. As a result, there is a split of the capitalist world into two hostile camps and a war between them." Stalin, speech at the pre-election meeting of voters of the Moscow city electoral district on February 9, 1946

"WWII was won with british inteligence, american steel and russian blood"

The Japanese are some scary dudes.
