The History of the 3 Most Powerful Divisions of the Waffen SS | The Praetorian Guard III Reich 

Wiking should have been mentioned

One of the regiments of the Verfügungstruppe which was the das Reich was used for the Wiking division and that was Germania the other regiment was Westland

@@opoxious1592 have you watched the video? its mentioned multiple times

@@justusdahl No, my bad.

The AI mispronunciation ruin the films.

It’s his real voice, he just sounds like a robot. 😂

agree the pronounciation of german is appalling

The committed many crimes in their short lived existence!

No shit. It's was annoying at first, then I heard the hitler juju. They just lost me. I am turning this thing off

Don't worry, you won't find difference with real voice soon

Ty man

​@@waracademy128 The most important fact is that all 3 divisions were CRUSHED mainly at the Eastern Front🙄

@@jasonmiller5369 not as many as allies soldiers

Totenkopf .. means literally Death’s Head.

IT'S TOTENKOPF YOU ASS; NOT TOTAN CUP

LEIBSTANDARTE, TOTENKOPF, DAS REICH

Infamous? More like heroic. Without these men the Eurasian hordes of the Soveits would have thrashed all of Europe and not simply taken Eastern Europe.

Wish you'd get the AI to pronounce the German words properly and not show your ignorance, which detracts from the message. The name of Michael Whitman is pronounced "Vitmann" and not "Whitman."

PAVN...Viet Mhin...Viet Cong...NVA

Really? How so? They failed miserably in force projection and logistics. Most of Germany's success came from the actions on its own borders. The failed offensives in Russia and the inability to actually invade the UK are further proof that the German Army/SS are extremely overestimated. German Commanders knew as early as 1941 they were financially incapable of winning.

hahahahaha..... they were fighting the Americans, who never actually won a war .... anywhere, ever !!!!@@greasyflight6609

There was one army that defited them combined with their qusling armies of France, Norway, Romania, Finland, Debmark, Italy, Croatia, Albania... And so on. French alone lost 400.000 on eastern front fighting for Germans. Romanians well over million.

@@greasyflight6609they were all garbage

I would assume it’s because of that yes

Yes not Leib standard… lol

It is not the end of the world because he pronounced it differently than you think it should be get over it and grow up.

@@anthonynicholich9654 I don't care how he pronounces it. I just get annoyed that he only uses the first part of the name, which all of the units featured start with the word Liebstandarte. So that causes unnecessary confusion.

@@anthonynicholich9654 lol

More like millions of victims

Most of us with a brain and education know quite well that the NSDAP is not a racist organization, it’s a political organization first and foremost and it is fair to note the Jews weren’t favored, but steps were taken humane steps, to rid them out of Germany and what others also don’t know or wanna believe is that the countries that turned their back when asked to take them were Britain, Canada, Australia. America and Morocco, they sent ships loaded with Jews back to Germany, hence the concentration camps

They were full on racist and they did hate or at least view non whites with extreme disdain. Recruiting some european (white) muslims because islamic fatalism aligns with the insane 20th century scientific racism and ancestor worship doesnt make nazis any less racist. Regards from a Bosniak my revisionist friend.

Well, they did still hate them. They just had to make..pragmatic moves to keep Germany atleast nominally alive. And notice the foreign divisions were titled "waffen grenadier of the SS" rather than being completely part of it.

Everybody knows that Aussies won the War.

If you compare how many Germans vs Soviets died on the east, the Germans were smashing the Soviets. If the allies didn’t open a front on the West, the Germans could’ve sent more reinforcements purely focused on halting the Soviets counter-offences. The Germans were 200 kms outside of Moscow. What saved Russia was the Russian Winter and a second front opening up. History would’ve been a lot different if a second front never opened up.

​@GloryHole6000 It is just my opinion; but I believe the most significant factor that saved the Soviets moreso than anything else was the mass amount of material, fuel, food, and munitions sent by the USA under Lend Lease to the USSR all the way through the siege of Berlin. It was American Jeeps running on American gasoline carrying the Red Army to the Brandenburg Gates, and thereafter it was American ammunition being fired, American rations being eaten, and American boots being marched in that truly helped the Communists finally defeat the Reich.

Looking at the timeline, it was the postponing of Barbarossa from April 1st to the 20th of June to save Mussolini's dumbass after completely fucking up the invasion of Greece and ordering that FUBAR clusterfuck dumpster fire mission to take Crete that really cost Germany the entire war. The battle for Moscow wouldve started nearly 3 months earlier, the winter wouldnt have been an issue, and well.. you know the rest.

​@@NotaGabeItch 2nd front opening? War was already lost for the germans the moment they lost stalingrad

Why are you so mad bro!???? THESE three divisions did all the work and lead every operation to full success!!!! The lucky three they were called!!!!

@@Clegane90 I am mad because the video is a bare-faced and easily checkable lie on this point. You, of course already know this, because your defence of them is too ridiculous to be taken seriously!

@@markaxworthy2508you are right bro, I was just trolling sorry for that ❤

Kursk

@@kerrygrittner5733 Kursk was a German conquest? I thought it was a defeat. Besides, it was in 1943, nearly four years into the war, they were not present in the northern half of the attack ay all and formed only a minority of German armoured units in the south.

SA, Sturm Abteilung, were the brown shirts

the Shutz Staffel was created by Hitler in a power move against Rohm and the SA. look up Night of the Long Knives.

The SA and SS were at odds, see night of the long knives.

They weren’t German. They were volunteers from Scandinavian countries with some Belgian and Dutch.

Best soldiers of ww2 without question are the allies of the Normandy landings, particularly the Americans

lol@@flicmydik

​@@flicmydikLet's not mention the Army in the Pacific, North Africa and Italy. Normandy was large but it wasn't the only impressive thing the Army pulled off.

He is dead.

@@Leon-bc8hm I mean of course the paratrooper division, not the person

the fallschirmjager were Luftwaffe units, not SS

Who lost two World Wars.

​@@classicgalactica5879 they had a fair crack at it though. More than impressive infamous, but to be respected in battle.

so is Trump..losers. From CANADA!

@@classicgalactica5879 and you ignorant sheep will believe The Germans were the bad guys

German were losers.

It's AI

A major reason for "lack of intelligence" is capitalist elite (e.g. Rockefeller. Carnegie. etc ) introduced "Prussian schooling" to the rest of the west in order to have us "dumbed down" to become a "zombie work force" ( Ref: "Weapons of Mass Instruction" by John Taylor Gatto) amongst other things we're not taught PROBLEM SOLVING / CRITICAL THINKING- RIGOUR/LOGIC (SO WE'RE FORCED TO FALL BACK ON THE QUITE INADEQUATE ARISTOTELIAN LOGIC STILL BUILT INTO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE) / CAUSALITY TRAINS (& without them, you can't work out the ORIGINAL source & are stuck @ the level of symptoms-effects ! )

You're still wrong

SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division Wallonien

@@victoriaeuropa426 Initially, before the Walloon Division was formed?

In July 1941, Degrelle requested to be allowed to serve in the Waffen-SS or the German army, but the Führer rejected it. However, after Operation Barbarossa, the tide turned for the Third Reich, and Degrelle was given permission to establish the Légion Wallonie, as well as leave for the eastern front himself on August 8, 1941, as an ordinary soldier (in the Heer).@@MS-in3sl

Agreed, Wiking was better than Totenkopf

Battle outcomes, % of achieving objectives of each engagement. Show facts, it would be a great study…

OK paratroopers were on monte but this iu learned i midlle school so wtf sry hahaahah:)

All destroyed at the Eastern front. It was all gone when the Soviets done their handy work.

@@rolandgeorgschramm1839 it happened,abadour sure glen

The German Army was backstabbed. I read The Labyrint by Walter Schellenberg last week. It's a shame how that great army was destroyed.

pretty sure its AI voice, so sick of everyone using AI voices on videos now

@@jayryan1956 yuck

@jayryan1956 It's just off-putting to be sure!

Bwaah!

An entire generation was badly wasted. Very sad.

It depends on how one measure "good". Germany never lost a battle when they were equal in numbers. Russia finally defeated them. But to unimaginable losses.

​@@Mingus8the hell they didn't, they got their asses kicked just as much as anyone else by the end of the war. By 1944 you could put any of the best SS divisions against the 101st or 82nd airborne, 3rd armored, or any number of British and Russian divisions and the Germans would have no discernable quality advantage. And arguing that they were one for one better than anyone is incredibly disingenuous since war's not about even odds, it's about overmatch. Germany failed to achieve that regularly because they opened wars on all fronts.

@@camrynsteward8425 You are mixing up time periods. In 1944, the war was already lost for them, due to the Soviets' superior numbers, willingness to sacrifice lives and logistical problems in a vast country. The German army that the USA faced in WW2 was a small shambles, short on manpower, training and above all fuel. Still, no one could take them without bringing more manpower, more tanks. Any us military had probably been wiped out by Germany until about mid 1943. They were simply too good in war fighting, had superior weapons. Germany brought war tactics and technology to a new level in ww2, the modern war and which all countries, especially USA adopted afterwards. There is plenty of literature that tells about this. But, you are of course right that Germany also had hubris, underestimated the Soviet Union and bit off more than they could handle, obiously.

@mingus8 I'm not mixing up shit, you said that they never lost when facing even odds. 1944 was part of the war, so if we're just not gonna count that then what are we even talking about? You make it sound like Germany invented and perfected modern warfare, this is not true. Blitzkrieg was effective, sure, but the Nazis were horrendous at logistics, a key aspect of strategy. Tactically they were generally fine, but to argue that the average Nazi soldier was superior to everyone else that he may have faced needs backup. There was never any discernable physical or mental difference between the average Nazi foot soldier and the Brits or Americans or Russians. As far as unit cohesion, the Nazis indoctrinated more than their opponents, sure, but I wouldn't call that good. Indoctrination feeds failure to innovate. On the tech side, Germany attempted to make far too many different types of tanks, while the US and Russia generally preferred to mass produce one type (the M4 and T34). While this means many German tanks outmatched individual tanks, both the US and Russia were able to outproduce and out sustain the Nazis. That was their choice, not a decision forced on them, and it was strategically wrong. Hell, they didn't even have an advantage in individual weapons. The MG42 was great, but the US had a better service rifle, the Russians had a better SMG. So no, I don't think I'm mixing up time periods or bending the narrative. Germany had a good military (and I absolutely do not mean morally good, it was a morally reprehensible organization), but absolutely not an unbeatable one.

@@camrynsteward8425 I never said they were unbeatable. Only that they never lost a battle where they were equal in numbers, and the only way to get them was to bring more people. This also applies in 1944. And yes, they invented the modern warfare as we know it today, with combined arms and fluid battle tactics (Blitz krieg). Americans and English fought heroically and no one should forget their efforts, but they still had to outnumber the Germans, to beat them, even in 1944.

lol you got it mixed up, it's the other way around. Look at how many ruski's died vs how many germans. Without the help of america, soviet union would be aryan lebensraum now
