When I was a little boy, my grandpa told me about WW2 when I was asking him. He was a medic at eastern front. He told me that we (german) an the russian medics helped eachother. He came back to Germany in 1947. So.... no more war please.
The USSR during that period of time did not abide by the Geneva convention which states that as long as a medic does not participate in the battle, it is a war crime to shoot it. Often medics of the RKKA and RKKF were armed just as well as their fellow infantry because they were targets for the Germans, and visa versa. Only in the western front and the African campaign were there rules that medics were not allowed to be shot at. In reality the Russian and Germans hated each other deeply. The only time i can think of where a soviet/German medic helping their enemy is when either the medic or the patient are prisoners. Your story could still be true, it is impossible for me to entirely disprove it nor prove it happened, war is scary, and sometimes the unexpected happens.
Ganz egal was so mancher klugscheißender Kriegsexperte hier an negativen Kommentaren vom Stapel lässt, lasst euch nicht beirren, ihr habt einen guten Kurzfilm gemacht. Alles ist authentisch dargestellt. Neider werdet ihr immer haben........ Ich sage Daumen hoch👍
Thank you... I saw the SS insignia only after medical treatment, and I thought to myself, ‘if he wasn’t a medic...” then, I was so glad the healed man spoke up and the officer listened. Danke!
@@donjorge8329 The Gulag was a huge prison where working hands were used free (no any gas chambers, stoves for burning people, mass killings) That was the difference
@@user-jt2hj8op1n gulag was not a ,,huge prison,, it was a huge working camp for prisoneres. In Gulag were mass killings and after the war (WW2) many german soldiers, which were captured by Soviets were in Gulags starved to death or killed by soviet soldiers, during WW2 so many captured soviet soldiers by Germans in concentration camps were not so much killed. Gulags were much worse than concentration camps !
@@Mar1an163 >>>In Gulag were mass killings - could you provide the facts please >>>were captured by Soviets - do you mean german soldiers that were destroying Soviet's cities, villages, hijacking to Germany millions Soviet civilians? >>German soldiers wouldn't kill medics During WW2 85 000 Soviet medics were killed - it's official fact of Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation The medic's median average lifespan on the battlefield was 41 seconds
Nice story. But, two things really could have been improved on. Neither involves moralizing or picking on one side or another. I don't know if anybody pointed this out or not but, not only did that 'medic' not know how to use an axe, (nitpicky here. There was a real possibility the medic might NOT have known how to use an axe.) but, he hadn't the first CLUE about how to treat a minor wound or tie a bandage!! And that was basic first aid taught to ALL GI's. That sloppily loose way he wrapped that bandage really detracted from the story for me.* His uniform was brand spanking new so it would stand to reason his 1'st aid supplies would have been full. He would have first cleaned the wound even if all he could do was pour a little water over it. Then he may or may not have used a morphine syrette but, I doubt it. Those were for serious wounds or for patients freaking or in great pain. The wounded soldat was neither.Next, keeping to that era, he would have sprinkled it liberally with sulfa powder, for the film, baking soda could have been used. Then he would have placed a bandage- though, considering it was not bleeding, presumably stopped, the medic would most likely have simply folded the ends of his gauze wrap over a few times, and placed it on top of the wound holding it in place, he then would have made about 4 or 5 FIRM wraps around the leg. No WAY would hee have put a tourniquet on anything like that. Too dangerous in itself! He would have cut the gauze off, then torn it lengthwise down the middle, then bringing one end around the reverse way bring the two ends together and tying them in a knot directly over the wound. * Although, I have to admit, I once had a medic tie a bandage on me that was literally that bad, that loose and sloppy so I had to redo it myself! Therefor, it could have happened but, as a rule, no.
@@LtGhost-tb3kq I get you but, the fault does not lie with the actors but, the direction. I understand "low budget" but, a few hours in a local public library would have supplied all the information needed. As for tying a bandage, Heck! There are so many free sources for such information there's simply no way to excuse it. For that matter, they could simply "Google" everything needed. THAT"s why I picked on these items. It's not like you actually had to be there for such knowledge or anything like that.
a little strory from the big History....That could be real in WW2 storm ! well played, coherent, and perfect unifroms..What esle ? ............thanks for sharing ; )
Not bad for a zero budget job, but the jeep is obviously the pride and joy of someone' collection. The uniforms are brand new and spotless, spread a bit of grime and dirt around next time, so it looks as if they've been working hard and fighting at least. Maybe a splash of fake blood or tomato sauce on the 'wound site' too.
Thanks for the comment. Your remark is very fair. Indeed, for the next film, we will think about "aging" the uniforms and possible traces of blood. ;-)
@@user-so9gw2po7n I heard that word once myself when I locked my keys in the car by accident, it was from a high strung young German woman...I was touring her and her female friend around the state...40 years ago. I found out that day she had a hot temper. Anyway, I went to a nearby business and got a wire coat hanger and got the door open.
The average Soldier would have driven straight through it going like hell thinking ambush the entire time. The other average Soldier might have wheeled around it at the fastest his jeep would take him through or away from this obstacle. Only a numbnut would have stopped as this one did. Glad he did stop. It made for a good movie.
Being a medical person during the Gulf War, I think it is safe to say that the medic driving did not necessarily have the experience to know the danger of a fallen tree. A front-line medic, sure. But we don't know that. He could have been just someone picked to deliver some meds (like I got picked a couple of times).
I would agree with you for sure. I was never in combat. Just taught that pop up road blocks had to be dealt with in certain ways. Engineers like us put them there for reasons. So did the other side's Engineers. One thing for sure. the Medic was doing his job. Perhaps he should have had some shotgun type escort . Still , this was a movie. No disrespect at all to the fine folks in the medical departments. Peace.
There is one RU-vid video one here with a actual American Veteran explaining after he was hit in the shoulder by a German sniper it felt like a ball bat hit him ,, long story short a German medic found him and patched him up and he said that's all he remembered because apparently so much blood loss and trama , but he ended up at a aid station and he wished he would've gotten the medics name so he could thank him for saving his life all these decades later.
Many Europeans of the time had little experience with automobiles . They weren't common or easy for the average pre WW2 German to acquire. From Britannica: _The German automobile industry suffered from the dislocation of World War I and Germany’s subsequent economic difficulties. The major developments of the 1920s were the merger of Daimler and Benz in 1926, after the founders of those firms had died (their bitter rivalry for the distinction of being the inventor of the gasoline automobile made any such union during their lifetimes unthinkable), and the entry of General Motors onto the German scene through the acquisition of the Adam Opel company in 1929. The Germans were ardent admirers of Henry Ford and his methods, which they termed Fordismus, but Ford never succeeded in becoming a power in the German automotive world. During the 1930s the Nazi regime sought to emulate Ford by undertaking mass production of a low-priced car, the Volkswagen, but the onset of war interrupted this project._
Muy bueno , Subtitulo Español SS-Untersturmfűhrer (Subteniente) 🇩🇪 y SS-Rottenfűher , le perdonaron la vida al Paramedico 🇺🇸 EE. UU. Que curo la heria de su adversario.👍.
Eine Sprengfalle an dem Baumstamm wäre eine gute Idee gewesen, ein guter Überraschungsmoment... natürlich nur in einer anderen Szene wenn man ihn nicht gebraucht hätte oder bei einem anderen Trupp der Amis...
I am sure there were acts of kindness and mercy during WW2 because the war covered such a vast area and so many millions of people. Not likely among the SS Troops but the average German soldier more likely.
I was going to work(I come from Scotland)and on a few occasions past a fully restored willys jeep just parked in a drive. Also there is a guy with a kubelwagen and PAK 37.
My father was an officer in the U.S Army in World War II and again in Korea. He was one of the first to liberate Buchenwald and again at Mauthausen. He had a tough job to control the soldiers he commanded since many, if not most, wanted to shoot every SS member in these camps and elsewhere. German troops in the regular Army were another story. Dad seldom spoke of his experiences in the war but he always had a revulsion towards those who were in the SS.
Same with my grandfather! He was even somewhat ‘protective’ of the Wehrmacht because he saw them as good soldiers and good people from his personal experience, BUT HE DESPISED THE SS AND WOULD LOSE HIS SHIT AT THE MERE MENTION OF THEM...also from experience. He never shot wounded or captured Wehrmacht, but when I asked him if he did that to the SS, his answer was, ‘we didn’t take them prisoner. I’ll tell you that much!’
Nice mini film story. The American did not sound like he was from Dallas Texas or Cincinnati Ohio. Not even from Tupelo Mississippi. Possibly anywhere in Europe though.
The medic is wearing the patch of my late father's outfit the 95th infantry. I still have the wool shirt he was wearing when he was shot and wounded in fraulatern germany during blistering house to house fighting the bullet went between the 2 bones of his forearm and only bled a little but really messed up nerves going into the carpel tunnel
@@stevezarbock8733 you’re right, my father was in B Company he came ashore on Omaha Beach 100 days after D Day invasion, drove in the Red Ball Express for 30 days then rejoined his outfit and entered combat in the French Lorraine Sector then into Germany thru Saarlaturn and into the town of Fraulaturn where he was shot and wounded Dec 9 1944 and was medivacked out a few days before the Battle Of The Bulge came down around his outfit
Ich finde die Idee, also die Handlung, sehr gut! Die Umsetzung ist auch gelungen. Nur Details fehlen mir ein bisschen. Zum Beispiel die Uniformen können dreckiger/benutzter aussehen.
@@akbarimahroza6397 thank-you very much brother ,,,,go ahead and fuck everyone that comes in your way ,that's for what you are here on earth......thanks again.
5:19 ah was seh ich da? er will sich mit einem gesicherten kar98k verteidigen .. gute idee :P guter film aber die bitrate ist ein bisschen wenig für den ort den ihr gewählt habt mit den ganzen details auf dem boden
Dear M/s.Northgruppe,25 years ago I read that one German tank would hermetically seal itself, get electric power from another German tank,on the bank,cross the river on it's track,and not swim. Then the tanks would reverse their roles. Could this be true?
The way the 'American' medic said "oh shit" didn't really sound right. I suppose that when a English speaking actor trys to speak in German, most German people will notice that it doesn't sound very realistic..! I hope you don't take my comment too seriously, but the rest is good and an interesting video.
A German solider ready to shoot a captured enemy solider that did nothing but obey their commands. If he did shoot him like that i would think and personally believe he would be in a lot of trouble from German military police or turned in by witnesses .
