Militarily, and NOT politically speaking, IMHO, the War on the Eastern Front was won by assuring the vast flow of supplies across the North Atlantic. Had things gone differently, and Doenitz received a full "Pack" and cut off the flow, things would have been desperate on several fronts.
This particular event took place in Cologne, and is better documented elsewhere on youtube.
War is so brutal. Technology has changed but war hasn't changed since the first tribe of man picked up a stone, sharpened it, and thrust it into the "enemy" of the nearest rival village.
God said "Thou Shall Not Kill" so God won't defend anyone. The war is wrong and it's all Propaganda. I feel sorry for all the Christian Russians died for helping the stupid Communists in Russia. Did anyone think of the 11 or 12 Million Russians who have died.
That's a common misconception due to poor translations. In reality that passage says "Thou Shalt not Murder". And there is a significant difference, at least as far as the Bible is concerned. Killing isn't murder if it's 'justified', eg God tells you to or your government gives you a piece of paper saying it's ok.
The russians got alot of their equipment from the U.S. And it's the way that Russian generals fight that looses them so many mena and women... The Russian winter is what defeated the Germans just as it did the French... sorry....
@ArchitectDream Fine for Russia, but as far as I'm concerned, Russia was a much graver threat to Europe than Nazi Germany ever was, and the fact that Churchill and Roosevelt sided with Stalin makes me sick.
@Chris9183 lol , yea cuz russia was taking other peoples land already huh, yea they killed their own people, but germany was planning to take over europe, then the world, i think handling them first was more important, lol
@Chris9183 Agree as well, No one talks about millions of Russians killed before Operation Barbarrosa ever began, liquidating all top military officers, etc. Also, rightly said, the winter in Russia was the greatest enemy for all invaders.
@ArchitectDream Not sure what your post has to do with mine...but even though I don't support the alleged deaths of Jews, I certainly also do not support the countless more deaths that Bolshevism is responsible for. Jewish communism was the worst plague on Europe in history, and Hitler did see it for what it was, despite the other things he did.
Well, the God your are praying to in many instances is the same one your enemy is praying to, which makes one wonder which side God is taking... which makes the old adage "there is no God on the battlefield" ring quite true. Unless there are multiple Gods....
@ucla4eva its cologne in germany. there are americans only, i guess. the Wehrmacht didnt exist anymore at that place. the whole destruction came from bombing by planes. it was a single german tank. ok, and some stupid nazis who didnt figure out, the war is over. kinda propaganda movie.
@DAMIFINO59 What ever helps you sleep at night. the bible is a bunch of bullshit storys god doesnt exist and he never will dunno why so many church people believe in that crap. but what ever keep believing in "God" if thats what floats your boat. :)
@blightbringer1 Little kid, if you were dropped in the middle of a WWII warzone somewhere like, say, Omaha beach, you would cower and pray to God so loud the Italians would hear it...much less make yourself stand up and push inland under a rain of German MG42 hell. Our God is what gave many of those soldiers the courage to jump out of those carriers into that beach and die for your freedom...just so you can ridicule their beliefs in return. You DISGUST me.
@blightbringer1 give me proof that god dose not exist, tell me how ppl became on the earth then or how the earth was made, im a tru christian kid and wen ur in hell after being sent there by GOD then tell me he dose not exist.
@sean13323 actually, i'm god, kicked the real god out made him suck my dick and pistol whipped him and jesus's faggot ass, satan tried to kick it with me and pistol whipped his bitch ass too, bottomline, fuck religion, faggot shit
@Chris9183 Can you prove to me the existence of this "God" character? Do you really think that American soldiers died for your freedom? Do you know what freedom really is? America is not the land of the free any more. You are in no position to even speak of such things.
@Cab0cl0 Just don't give up hope. The filth in your soul can be managed and blocked, it won't dominate you forever. Your solution is between you and the Lord.
@Chris9183 Babble nonsense. You are either a troll talking this shit to piss people off or you serious have some mental disorder.
If you are a troll I salute you. its coll to talk nonsense till people decide thre's no point in arguing when bored
If you mean what you say, I think you are a person full of prejudices that thinks that you know how other people feel and think, and doesn't have the humility to respect other peoples individualities.
Freedom? What freedom? People had more freedom before the war then they have today. This war wasn't about freedom, it was about profit and exploitation. Just like every other war. Fighting for freedom is the bullshit story the government feeds to the sheep. By ending Nazism you just trade one sick immoral system for another.
people prayed to your "god" because they were scared. not all out of true belief. i think it is really funny that out of the thousands and thousands of years people always pray to their god, but that god has changed so many times its not even funny.
@Chris9183 I can't find what you were replying to, so i won't comment for or against him. But i will say that i've always found it disrespectful to attribute things to god that were done by man. No one gave these men courage but themselves. If you simply mean that their belief in god gave them courage, well, belief in god gave our enemies courage as well. And to act like all of our forces were praying to the same god or that they were all religious is a mistake on it's own.
@Chris9183 They were the greatest generation, when our entire country was unified as one. Do they understand half the boys in a few LCAs on dog beach never even made it off the boat. screaming for god and their mothers is all you can do when you take an 88 to your lower region. War is hell, it's praying you surivive another MG-42 volley, praying you live to go home. This is not Call of duty 2 so go peddle your hate for religion somewhere else.
They were not the 'greatest generation'. That isn't to say they didn't suffer and make sacrifices, but everyone who has ever been around during wartime has done those things. Absurd statements about how this particular generation is superior to all others does nothing but insult and belittle the sacrifices of every other generation, before and after.
@noodlezombie well I can respect that, wasn't trying to offend any other vets, look what happened to our Vietnam veterans. That must of been horrible in the jungle, only to return home and get spit on.
And millions of Soviets had no problem going into battles of such intensity and brutality that the average American GI would piss himself at the very prospect of going into that hell, with no belief in a god whatsoever.
@27LaxBro I know what you mean. but let me tell you what my grand father was told by his father when he asked him why he never went to church on sundays, like his mother usually did. He replied that his believes and his god where still hanging, ripped to shreds, in some barbed wire somewhere in the east.
I just wanted to give you another example. ww2 in the east was too much for most of the soldiers fighting it. and it turned my gran-gran-dad into an atheist.
@satanic666sonic theres two sides of it though and your perfectly right that fighting like that would make someone resent god believing that he would abandon the world and let them fight the way they did so your also right with that point
@blightbringer1 your a fucking danm anil lickn testicly humping homo sexual. Dnt hav 2 say that god dnt exist just keep it too ur self u tytanioum fucking piece of diaria i would whip u with barbwire so chuncks of ur skin will rip the dump u in alcohol son of a bitch
I always thought the man who lost his leg survived the war...he was actually blown out of the tank...amazing it was only his leg....sad to see this footage even after all these years......war is shit isn't it!.....absolute shit.....thing is....what can you do if someone is DETERMINED to kill you or your friends comrades or loved ones....what?
i am Canadian i it is sad to see that the Germans are still fitting over how they alomost won and it was the weather , you killed millions of inasent people!!! there was no way god was going to let the scum get away with that and you didn't haha the funny thing is the only one of that was any good was out to kill Hitler . the war has been over for a good time now and there is no point in fighting , today the ones that are cuaseing all the fuss in the Americans
@jdmdecal this is in cologne germany ww2...the guy died that lost his leg. he was hit with a 88mm tank round. then the pershing tank(american) goes and destroys the tank(german panther) that killed the guy who lost his leg
I dnt get why you guys are arguing Nazis are retarted ignorant ppl they lost beacause the russians the brits and the great ol USA kicked there ass. My grandfather fouhgt u bastards and i would love to kill osme nazis all so but its my job now to kill the taliban
@dburford9 Y u so mad? Half of your comment doesn't even make any sense....a "snow dance", what the hell are you talking about??
Also, in September 1944 Germans had to withdraw Army Groups E and F from Greece when Soviets advanced into Yugoslavia! So don't chat shit.
To put it into perspective, the Third Reich suffered 6,716,700 to 8,986,700 total deaths during WWII....5,178,000 of which were on the Eastern Front....
one can infer that it was italian weakness that caused hitler and the nazis to lose the war. italy couldn't capture greece, so hitler sent troops from russia to help out, making him lose 2 weeks in the barbosa campaign, since he couldn't effectively capture stalingrad by winter. also, the italian navy in the mediterranean was practically wiped out by the british navy and air force, and to top it all off, the italians couldn't hold any part of north africa, they couldn't even hold italy...
Russians did not "single-handedly" push the germans back.. it was an allied effort... yes it's true the russians did deny a lot of allied help,more power to them, but inevitably russians did get help, the help of making the germans fight on two fronts, if not for that the russians would have been over run before reinforcements were made.
@Korn1holio lol ooor the panther ambushed the sherman and the guy lost his leg but the panther crew didnt know of the pershing and american soliders in the next street and by time they found out the pershing already had one round on them
As I read the many comments on this page I realize why peace will never fall upon this world. Even tho WWII has been over and done with for many many years your cyber history nerds are arguing over it like you were actually in it. Throwing insults about one another's countries and all that. Just stop this ignorance already. I personally have worked with many Armies from all around the world and the soldiers dont even bicker like you.
yes lots of countries in war committed atrocities,but the nazis are in their own league, i dont idolize killers like you, i hate all war, i hate all armies equally,i hate all violence,only idiots choose to join armies and only evil men order them to die,no soldiers no wars, just angry leaders,theyll cool off, looking after ones family will always come before country,remember germany invaded peaceloving countries and inflicted horrible crimes upon them,nuff said.
its true the russians seen off the majority of hitlers battlehardened forces..but they took massive losses,,in the millions doing it, crazy footage, the guy getting out of the tank with his leg blown off, terrible...hope he was a baddie
@andrewkenworthy Hope he was a baddie ? He was a German tank crewman with a wife and family probaly, and will either die a slow painful death from blood lose or rot in a soviet gulag and die in captivity. I don't remember Tank crews rounding up jews or killing gypsies, He was simply serving his country and doing his duty as a soldier, what makes him the bad person? Soon after 1945 the world was calling the USSR the baddies..
Not to moan or bitch but if You check history records Canadians who were volunteers by the way were the only group who not only reached thier objectives on D-day but actually surpassed them.
Aussies ripped it up in world war 2 they punched way above their weight and were the under dogs who won so many battles in france and north africa out numbered and with no ammo, thats why there are french towns named after Australian cities and thats why australia is pretty much the only country the french like. I like Aussies they just get the job done, happy to help out with no moaning or bitchng except for teasing other countries and having fun along the way.
@Ro7772155 The Australians didn't fight in France during ww2. Only European country they fought in was Italy. Australians Did fight in France and Belgium during ww1 though
so he was a baddie then,,remember without these tank crews no european countrie would have been occupied by the nazi`s ,and doings one duty often icluded mudering men women and children,what is it with nazi sympathizers,living in igonorance of nazi germanys crimes but only seeing the glory of the werhmacht or ss ,i dont get it.
@andrewkenworthy what is it with you ignorant left wing nutters that assume everything in black and white that wears a german styled helmet was a nazi, did you even know that in order to be in the wehrmacht you were not aloud to part of any political party and that included the nazi party. Waffen SS, SS,Gestapo and einsatzgruppen were largely responsible for what happened. And the allies were no strangers when it comes to genocide.
@andrewkenworthy Yes the Wehrmacht did commit crimes. Don't blame the German army as a whole like some brainwashed fool that think he knows it all. Reserch your history moron. You stalin killed more of his people in peacetime than hitler ? Ever read about the Russian attrocities behind their lines?
Shut up you ignorant americans there wasnt ever gas chambers or any of that sort of crap all Germans did was put POWs and Jews into labor camps they died from disease and malnutrition all towards the end of the war because supplies couldnt get to them stupid fucking americans you are so fucking stupid go die you fucking dumb bitches
@Vesselins if you hate Americans so fucking much, get the fuck off this American website,you fucking dog shit, have a nice fucking day asshole..USA USA USA!!!!!!LOL
@Vesselins Hey Vess. Shut the fuck up. You hate Americans so much much then get the fuck out of our country. We have enough ignorant, anti semitic libs in this country as it is lil man. Holocaust is a fact child.
My grandfather served with the German Panzer Divisions from 1940 and May 3, 1945. He is NOT a nazi. Has 37 tank kills to his record and the capture of 5 French command posts. I am an American and I might not agree with the holocoust and the stuff the nazis did but I am sure as hell proud of my grandpa.
@ZACKBAGNALLVIDEO Definatly though I am Canadian (I'm ignoring all the banter) and my great-grandfather was german too. The only difference was he was a foot solider fighting in Russia and was killed by a land mine. I doubt he wanted to join but from the stories I've heard, it was either join or be shot with the family. So the entire German population is being blamed for very few people's actions which destroyed a country for decades.
@DRExredsox23 Ok firstly, the Germans were already fighting on the Western front (Phoney War/Battle of Britain etc.) and when Overlord began the Germans transferred only a minor number of troops to the west. Secondly, by the the time US troops touched French soil (June 1944) the Russians were storming through Europe on the way to Berlin. Operation Bagration (the largest single operation of the war) obliterated the Germans. There were 57 Axis divisions in France and 157 in Soviet Union...Hmm...
@PSPmaster321 let me correct that, if it wasnt for the fighting and defeat of germany in north africa in 1943 by the brits and usa, USSR would have had no chance at beating the germans, and the usa was supplying all three also
@SpiroHrvoje1989 Ok, either this is a trick question or you take me for a complete idiot...they fought in the European Theatre. In more detail, the Soviet Stavka consisted of Alexander Vasilevsky and Georgy Zhukov who conducted the offensive which consisted of 5 Fronts.
@PSPmaster321 Understood, but in your original comment you said and I quote "It was the Russians that single-handedly pushed the Germans back across the whole of Western Europe"
That would be false, The other Allies took Western Europe from the beachheads of Normandy to where they met up with the Russians in Essen and the fringes of the Elbe river. They fought in the European theater, yes, but the Ruskies were fighting predominantly in Eastern Europe.
@SpiroHrvoje1989 Ah, yes. I just noticed that! That is my mistake! I wasn't paying attention when typing. I obviously meant the Eastern Front, sorry about that.
I don't think it was the Russians who stormed the beaches at Normandy.
I would argue that your ignorance is overwhelming, not the other way around. Russia had more people than guns and were fighting the Germans with sticks and stones.
Had it not been for the western allies, you would be speaking German right now. But I don't think that would had even mattered to you anyway, since Russia has always been a fascist dictatorship.
Your comment was marked as spam within 10 minutes of posting, and the other deleted! What does that tell you?
I think you should learn to READ before even posting a comment, maybe that'll improve your grammar a bit too. IF you had read my comment properly beforehand, you would have seen that I am not Russian! I'm from the UK...I have a nice house, all the money I need and am attending a first class university...so fuck you!
And unlike you...I'm not a manipulated product of western media, I look at things as they are, not through a guise of "Call of Duty", "Saving Private Ryan" and American patriotic propaganda....which portrays Russians as the "bad guys" and "terrorists" even though that is completely false (I would know, I've been to Russia multiple times). You think Russia is a FASCIST Dictatorship? Jesus...you're more stupid than I thought...you prove my point rather well.
Right...now on to the history, I'll be brief as I don't want to spend my time educating your stupid ass and repeating what I have already said.
Even though the Russians may not have been excellently equipped, that doesn't mean that they didn't achieve anything! It would be completely stupid and ignorant to assume so.
By the time American troops SET FOOT on European soil, the Russians were already making their way across Poland on their way to Berlin, destroying all German forces along the way. It was called Operation Bagration...read up on it.
There were 57 Axis divisions in France and 157 in Soviet Union, (I hope you can do math) what does that tell you?
And even then, during Operation Overlord, only a small number of German troops were transferred to the West.
AT NO POINT am I insinuating that the Western Front didn't help...of course it did!!! But you Americans should stop acting like the White Knight Hero's who won the war and realise that you were only a cog in the machine...
@PSPmaster321 Listen buddy it sounds like your a product of soviet media. The Allies could not have won the war without Russia's galant efforts, But Mr Stalan turned out to be a worse tyrant and murderer than Hitler. Murdering and starving hundreds of thousands of German prisoners of war, Holding them more than ten years after the end of the war. I would say post war Russia was much more than FASCIST.
@filmputzer Ok, firstly, I ain't your buddy. Secondly, if you read carefully you'd know that I'M BRITISH. (seriously, what's wrong with you people?) Therefore I'm an impartial party and can look at things objectively. I AGREE that Stalin was almost as bad as Hitler but the other guy was talking about current Russia, not the Soviet Union. And in no way is today's Russia fascist. Also, learn the different between "your" and "you're".
@PSPmaster321 Get you geography straight, The Russians did a great job in the eastern sectors of the war but never entered western Europe, Berlin was end point the there conquest, Everything west of that was liberated by the Allies. And if the allies allowed them to the Russians would have seized all of western Europe the allies liberated and imprisoned them into 50 years of Russian rule like they did the countries they liberated,
@filmputzer Okay, I'm human, I made a mistake. I obviously meant Eastern Front. I have explained that in previous comments. But yes, I agree with everything that you're saying.
@PSPmaster321 yes but it was mostly due to the fact that the invasion of russia was an error to begin with and the germans did not know how to retreat, only defend and attack
@PSPmaster321 how about the fact that the americans including men from my family fought their way into france and had to let the french have the glory of 'returning all by themselves' or germany from the west and up through italy and were told they had to wait outside berlin so that the russians could formally take it. no knocking on the russians, they had it terribly but dont talk about whatever. I know for a fact that you didn't contribute and you don't seem to appreciate much either.
@iambydand I know what you're saying man. I had relatives that served in the war too. And of course Americas input was very important and vital to crushing Hitler. I just don't like it when people say "America won WWII", do you know what I mean? In the same way you want your relatives efforts to be acknowledged, I'm sure many Russian people want their war veterans efforts to be acknowledged also. (I know for a fact you didn't contribute either ;) )
@PSPmaster321 This is America. We only want to hear about the great obstacles we had overcome. We'll let Russia take care of Russia but over here the men who served from my country and for my country are the ones one my mind.

people prayed to your "god" because they were scared. not all out of true belief. i think it is really funny that out of the thousands and thousands of years people always pray to their god, but that god has changed so many times its not even funny.

@Chris9183 I can't find what you were replying to, so i won't comment for or against him. But i will say that i've always found it disrespectful to attribute things to god that were done by man. No one gave these men courage but themselves. If you simply mean that their belief in god gave them courage, well, belief in god gave our enemies courage as well. And to act like all of our forces were praying to the same god or that they were all religious is a mistake on it's own.

@Chris9183 They were the greatest generation, when our entire country was unified as one. Do they understand half the boys in a few LCAs on dog beach never even made it off the boat. screaming for god and their mothers is all you can do when you take an 88 to your lower region. War is hell, it's praying you surivive another MG-42 volley, praying you live to go home. This is not Call of duty 2 so go peddle your hate for religion somewhere else.

@TecDiver05
They were not the 'greatest generation'. That isn't to say they didn't suffer and make sacrifices, but everyone who has ever been around during wartime has done those things. Absurd statements about how this particular generation is superior to all others does nothing but insult and belittle the sacrifices of every other generation, before and after.

one can infer that it was italian weakness that caused hitler and the nazis to lose the war. italy couldn't capture greece, so hitler sent troops from russia to help out, making him lose 2 weeks in the barbosa campaign, since he couldn't effectively capture stalingrad by winter. also, the italian navy in the mediterranean was practically wiped out by the british navy and air force, and to top it all off, the italians couldn't hold any part of north africa, they couldn't even hold italy...

Russians did not "single-handedly" push the germans back.. it was an allied effort... yes it's true the russians did deny a lot of allied help,more power to them, but inevitably russians did get help, the help of making the germans fight on two fronts, if not for that the russians would have been over run before reinforcements were made.

DRExredsox23 1 year ago
@DRExredsox23 Ok firstly, the Germans were already fighting on the Western front (Phoney War/Battle of Britain etc.) and when Overlord began the Germans transferred only a minor number of troops to the west. Secondly, by the the time US troops touched French soil (June 1944) the Russians were storming through Europe on the way to Berlin. Operation Bagration (the largest single operation of the war) obliterated the Germans. There were 57 Axis divisions in France and 157 in Soviet Union...Hmm...

@PSPmaster321 let me correct that, if it wasnt for the fighting and defeat of germany in north africa in 1943 by the brits and usa, USSR would have had no chance at beating the germans, and the usa was supplying all three also

PSPmaster321 1 year ago
@PSPmaster321 Understood, but in your original comment you said and I quote "It was the Russians that single-handedly pushed the Germans back across the whole of Western Europe"
That would be false, The other Allies took Western Europe from the beachheads of Normandy to where they met up with the Russians in Essen and the fringes of the Elbe river. They fought in the European theater, yes, but the Ruskies were fighting predominantly in Eastern Europe.

I would argue that your ignorance is overwhelming, not the other way around. Russia had more people than guns and were fighting the Germans with sticks and stones.
Had it not been for the western allies, you would be speaking German right now. But I don't think that would had even mattered to you anyway, since Russia has always been a fascist dictatorship.

By the time American troops SET FOOT on European soil, the Russians were already making their way across Poland on their way to Berlin, destroying all German forces along the way. It was called Operation Bagration...read up on it.

And even then, during Operation Overlord, only a small number of German troops were transferred to the West.
