you wont see that kind of shit where the eastern front took place, and thank god for that. nazi's given a monument, okay you belgians are taking it too far.
@calipzo101 Oh yeah that's right i've seen one of them get demolished a couple of years back (Good memories). They should all be gone within the next decade or so
@MagicMutilator6000 When was a cemetery 'demolished'? link? And why would they? Schönholzer Heide und Tiergarten still stand in Germany today for fallen Soviet soldiers. I couldn't imagine Russia risk losing (beautiful) monuments for their fallen to destroy a small German military graveyard.
@calipzo101 well it's not on youtube, plus germany didn't really have to choice but to erect monuments since they lost the war. If the german army is to be remembered for anything it's their heinous war crimes against helpless civilians
@MagicMutilator6000 Nazi party members and the Waffen SS SHOULD be remembered for the atrocities they committed. Soldiers in the Wermacht were just simple soldiers who fought a war.
Should all Russian soldiers be remembered for the mass rape of German women and the extermination of hundreds of thousands of German POW's after the war ended? No, it was a small groups who committed these acts.
I realize its easier to hate them all if you just generalize, but its fallacy.
@MagicMutilator6000 And link doesn't mean specifically youtube, there's a whole wide world of information on the internet. I couldn't find any articles even in .ru searches.
@calipzo101 well it was in Belarus, I don't think it was covered by any news outlet their censorship laws are very strict. But yeah a relatively small German WWII cementery got bulldozed a couple of years back. Oh what a spring that was!
Very sobering moment watching this. So many dead soldiers who fought for Hitlers ambitions. I think we forget or overlook the destruction and death that fell upon the German nation. Six million dead on the battlefield and another one and half million civilians.
I live in Lommel and I think that this graveyard should be visited by all politicians from the European Union governments so they understand what it means to send young people to there dead's for political gain.
i know this is about ww2 but my uncle was in ww1 and he always said he used 2 put a gun into a young boys hand and send him off 2 die he wasnt german but still respect the germans most of them young boys they had family they had friends they had kids respect them
im a american and i would like to say that these germans soldiers fought with the same honor and dignity as the allies did they didnt start the war but served their countries cause R.I.P. GERMAN SOLDIERS
bloody hell, that is a big cemetary. many of these fellows fought in belgium when there was no quarter given, and often when few prisoners were shown mercy. its so sad when you see this quantity of life now snuffed out. and for what?? all of these crosses signify someones son, brother, father, husband. whether they be friend or foe, may tney now rest in peace, their war is over. respect.
In the 1980's I was in Germany. I noticed in the evening how many German women in their 60's were walking alone. This is where all of the men that age are.
There were very good people on all sides during WW II (and WW I). I respect all the people who died in the War and i am an American. I agree with the previous comment that before any any new wars the leaders should visit cemeteries like this one first I hope they find it has haunting as this one is. God bless all who lie here and I hope the rest in Peace.
they had a job just like the Americans they didn't want to do it but they had no choice do you think the Americans and British wanted to take a life because it take a shit lod of ball and sadness to kill a man and take his life they a had a job and i can resecpt that thier Goverment was evil but the men who fought on behalf of then the ones who lost thier friends and Familes were evil
I think we all show respect for all young men who die for their countries, Germans Americans British Canadians Polish Russians and French, for all of them our respect, cause they had family too, mother, fathers and brothers , which send them to a stupid war and never get them back
lonewulf44 your last comment was said the best --- therandyj I meant to put a thumbs down to make it back to 0
All comanding officers order your troops to fall in and prepare to salute and honour all those who fell. In the end we are all infantry and yes we do eat shit for breakfast and die.
One thing that upsets me is that German war graves are far rarer than Allied ones. Many millions of Germans who fell on the Russian front have no war graves. No matter what nationality we all suffer in war.
They were drafted out of small towns and city streets no matter what they believed ... calling the every member of the German armed services a nazi is like calling every American soldier a democrat just because FDR was ... I'll not even go into the fact that respecting the dead and honoring foreign soldiers is part of what makes us better than vile NSDP.
The bodies of most of the 6th army's fallen were burned on huge pyres shortly after the battle was over. Reports on the number of ( German) bodies pulled out of the ruins of Stalingrad range from 40,000 to 150,000.
So very sad ... so much ruin. Do you know what became of any cemeteries that might have been created by the Germans around the 6th army positions? I'm guessing just bull dozed or worse ... but curious as to the history. Thanks for the reply
It's when diplomacy fails. Not democracy. The USA invades countries like a mental disorder patient goes "AHHHRHUUUUH" but the US is still a democracy...
Although it wasn't for all the senators who critisised Bush.
Very stupid comment vincevince. These people simply did what they were told to do. They didn't decide to invade other countries. These people were killed in a war which was fought by a crazy little bastard. They didn't actually take joy in killing people. This is a very sad sight, all those young people....
those were just ordenary men they had nothing to do with the sick ideas of of hitler we should honor them to. no for their acts but for their sacrefice
and you really believe that? How do you know they were "ordinary". How do you know they too "believed" in Hitlers visions. What do you think the "SS" soldiers were for, A club for good German "Cub Scouts". Wake up and read your history.
Can`t we all just remain silent and mourn the dead young boys? I`ve been to Normandy recently, where all the D-Day graveyards are, quite similar to this one in Belgium. I visited a lot of these cemeteries from all involved countries, and I cried a lot. All of these poor men died in everything but peace, please give them their peace now. They all deserve it.
where is this cemetary i have visited germany many times but i have never seen a memorial to the german forces or to the civilians killed in allied bombing raids but there are jewish memorials all over the place
Chet, Actually Poland did attack Germany in December 1918 after the armistice and seized much of the province of Posen- called the Greater Poland Uprising. The Germans simply came to get it back in 1939...
The German's didn't learn from WW1, they didn't learn from WW2, which made WW1 look like a back alley fist fight.
They all held up their hands in a Nazi salute, they all swore not an oath to protect Germany, but an oath to Hitler himself. 70 million German's did that and for what? To wear a nice uniform? To get out of Germany and see the world? Attacking Poland is like a Professional Boxer fighting an 80 year old man with arthritis for the championship.
I don't know how this is moving, those soldiers fought under an evil banner and they damn well knew it.
Come on now? Poland attacked Germany and that is why they invaded Poland? That is what Hitler told everyone. Germans are that stupid, what they are is war-mongers who like an authoritative figure that they can follow blindly.
Shed a tear for these bastards? For what? Brutality, greed and a lust for power?
You just relax there Campbell. Germany will be hated by many probably till the end of time for what it's Nazi leaders did from 1932 - 45. However many of it's soldiers were just that. My best friends parents are German and her town was bombed again and again and all she tells us about is how damn fast she was running down to the shelter with her little brother. I get 10 times more affection from her than I got from my own mother. He just about didnt make it. I dont like what youve said!
I'm sure you think that everyone in this place thought that murdering 6,000,000 jews was just dandy with them but I don't think so. Jesus you've made me bloody made LOL. Any time any kind of thing is posted like this the same thing happens be it the bombing of Dresden or what ever. There was a pop. of about 90.000.000 in Germany when the war was on 7.000.000 died. But lets stop posting German things so idiots won't make us angry anymore. I think I'm done now.
come on now?iraq attacked the u.s.and that is why they invaded iraq?that is what bush told everyone.yanks are that stupid,what they are ,are war mongerers who like an authoritive figure that they can follow blindly.
Yeh, Americans are known for blindly following our leaders; that's why we throw them out every 4 to 8 years. As to the oil, why is it America has not received one drop of Iraqi oil and has not been promised any? Why doesn't the U.S. just keep Kuwait and, while they are at it take Canada's oil sands region in Alberta? Who would stop them? Why didn't U.S. just stay in Iraq in 1991? Why don't they invade Venezuela? Are they scared of Chavez's military? Don't shed a tear, but at least lose the hate.
