i do not normally think this but i thought russians would be murderess and care little of the germans but i guess i am mistaken. also i hope the US and Russia are very close and trusted allys. if any one messed with us n their gone in like 2 seconds later. think about it.
The Wehrmacht the Americans fought against in 1944 you can't compare to the Wehrmacht that invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. In 1944 about 2 Million German Soldiers had already fallen in Russia and the Africa Campaign had also failed. So Americans only eleminated the remains of that once most powerfull Army of the World....by the way i am a german and that doesn't mean that i am not thankful that the USA finally brought Democracy to Germany, i don't want to affront you my american friends ;-)
@678CoLoGne678 Well as a Canadian I know we still had a very tough fight on the Western Front, although it was much less brutal than in the East...and I would say D-Day also saved many lives on both sides by bringing the war to an end faster. And by ending the Holocaust in the West, for instance we almost saved Anne Frank, she was on the last train out of the Netherlands to Auschwitz. Even better, if the conspirators' bomb had killed Hitler on July 20, that would have saved millions of lives.
It's true that the common solider in the german army did not know of the things the SS and hitler were doing, just regular soldiers thinking they were fighting for the fatherland.
Wow! I was moved in tears. Too bad some of those folks didn't live to witness how two warring nation be friends or their people being friends. I hope nations learned by now that we don't need to fight. I wish things can all be settle by an Ice Cream.
The more Russians and Americans learn about each other, the better they'll understand that we're not different at all. And that'll be the end of at least some conflicts.
Soldiers are just used as political cannon fodder! Most politicians are no good, they should send their families first to go and fight and not put other people's children in harms way!
amazing story! in the end of the day, we are all decent human beings. i just hope the incomprehensible horrors and barbarism of past global wars brought abt by imperialism and screwed up ideologies will not descend upon us to lay havoc on our civil society. PEACE Y'ALL BROTHERS!
@igorvasilevsky "If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances. Neither of them thinks anything of their pledged word"
@igorvasilevsky Please do not include me. I do not like my government. It does not represent me. Many Americans are not for foreign wars. Only judge the ones that are, I am not.
our enemies change with the times. politicians choose our enemies. what remains the same is war. many people die needlessly over the ambitions of the few
Wars are planned by the Illuminati, The Rothchilds, the Bilderbergers....for centuries... There is very little need for war... The Civil War did not have to be fought...
Do the research, learn the truth....open your eyes....
maybe they just wanted to enjoy some skiing, russian jerks!! 2:29 sent off. i'm surprised they weren't sent to a gulag. i'm not complaining, but RT has been kind of lazy with reporting these days. these war stories are great though.
this story sounds bullshit most soviet German POWs were worked to death after the war

USA and UK bankers bastards twice organised a war between Russians and Germans.
Which killed more than 60 millions of our both nations.
That's why USA and UK are our common enemies forever.
The same with Russia/Turkey; Russia/Finland.
The wars are orchestrated by British Empire bastards to make troubles for their geopolitical enemies. 'Divide & Conquer'
USA and UK. Know it. We will never forget your crimes.
