  • @BobbyRancher The history of poor Americans who have stumbled into the war, this is not true. The question was more of what we get for it and is it worth. Resources and land against Hitler's Germany.

  • @BobbyRancher The British government had grown increasingly distressed over Mosaddegh's policies and were especially bitter over the loss of their control of the Iranian oil industry. Repeated attempts to reach a settlement had failed and in October 1952, Mosaddegh declared Britain an enemy, and cut all diplomatic relations.[

  • @BobbyRancher The Iran crisis is an American homemade problem. Mosaddegh was removed from power in a coup on 19 August 1953, organised and carried out by the United States CIA at the request of the British MI6 which chose Iranian General Fazlollah Zahedi to succeed Mosaddegh

  • THE GAHAWKSAGOOGIN IS FRAMED UP NEXT TO THE RAMASTAN

  • True men had to step 3 thousand miles from home to fix war mad Europe's problems. Without the United States, World War 2 would have been even longer and costlier. True men stayed home and didn't go to Europe until 1941 because we weren't war mad Europe. France and Britain are as much to blame for WW1 and WW2 as Germany. The alliance mess started WW1, and the heavy reparations on Germany put them into a position to put Hitler into power which caused WW2.

  • @BobbyRancher if real men have imposed no embargo against Japan. If you look at it objectively , one is tempted to the thought that the real men have wanted a war. Japanese assets were frozen and resources were boycotted. Only then Japan declared war on the USA.

  • Heh. I found it in the book of that researcher. The soldier from 09:31 must probably served in 6th company of II./Schutzen-Regiment.14. Commander of this company was Oblt. Vitzel. This company had indeed 2 killed in that attack - Gefreiter Eden and liaison soldier (telephonist) Heese. Among other casualties in that attack was for example seriously wounded commander of 8th company Lt. Hans Hauptmann. The fighting took place near the bunker line at Stara Wies near Pless (Pszczyna)

  • The soldier from 09:31 onwards - he must have served in Schutzen-Brigade(mot.) of 5. Panzer-Division (as this division attacked Pless). I wonder in which of the regiments (5. Panzer-Division had two motorized rifle regiments) he served and in which company?

  • Comment removed

  • @Tomenable

    I know a researcher who would eagerly contact this German veteran of the battle of Pless. He wrote about about the battle of Pless, surely he would be interested in one more account of participant.

  • the bettle is based on hitlers balls, truth

  • fuck the motherfuckers allies

  • This Wehrmacht army killed civilians in Greece for no apparent reason, raped women and shot children. My mother's father who is now 79 years old remember everything. My father's parents on the other hand were both shot by German Wehrmacht because they resisted Germans. My father was 1 year old. What the hell did they come here for?Couldn't they just stay in f_ _ _ in Germany?

    They invaded countries and did great damage. May they rot in hell.May all who have no respect for LIFE rot in HELL"

  • respect to the Wehrmacht the accomplished so much with so many enemies unreliable allies and still kicked ass

  • @caitlinmcgonnell you basically just summed it up in a nut shell

  • In1939, Great Britain declared war on Germany for the invasion of Poland as they had promised..so how is it then that war was not also declared on the Soviet Union, which also invaded Poland? How could Britain's guaruntee of Poland's sovereignty only apply to Germany and not to another invading nation?

  • @volvo4422 Russia didnt invade poland... Germany made a pact with Russia which is named the Nazi-Soviet non aggression pact. Germany split parts of Poland which was rightfully Russian and Kept the parts which were rightfully German. Poland came to exist after ww1. In my opinion Russia and Germany had the right to reclaim their land from Poland.

  • @Redorchestra02 now thats just BS. poland had been splitted several times in history, but there were only small strips of land with german/russian majority in '39. hitler actualy just wanted the sea-strip around danzig (for the moment), but the biggest part was settled by poles, and noone ever doubted that. it was an invasion, and thats a fact.

  • LOSERS - PERDEDORES - Przegrance

  • People couldnt tell if nazi's were bad. Adolf Hitler ruled Germany so people thought he was a good person. Its like saying barrack obama sending out people to kill osama bin laden, You see waht i mean?

  • Funny thing is, The Nazi reich was even less curropt then the powers of today, And they shure had more balls.

  • @NordenHonor they didnt had to be corrupt, in a dictatorship you just make your wealth-grabbing official. you would be surprised how the NS-party members stuffed their pockets once they were in charge.

  • German soldiers were super hott.

  • @ 1:10 there is a black guy.

  • @LORDeliphase I dont see one. Only person I could see to closely resemble a black person was the tanned guy at the bottom of the screen who would look to be a tanned Italian.

  • @Dercommandingofficer thats who i mean, could be Italian.

  • @LORDeliphase He does look sort of black though after my second viewing of it. Lol.

  • @LORDeliphase you would be surprised at how many black men volunteered to fight for germany. many people often refer to the german army as a racist institution, yet it had volunteers from many different ethnic groups. the wehrmacht actually was a solution for many jews to escape prosecution, 100,000 that were never turned in by their german comrades.

    jsut another side of the story many dont know and which would make hollywood movies seem horrible(heroes dont seem so heroic when they kill heros)

  • I really wish that these documentary's would stick to the facts. I don't really see the need for propaganda so long after the event. Either lazy research/documentary making or political leaning. Many many (mistakes) in this. A bit frustrating.

  • First sentence, and a major distortion of fact. 18.2 million men in the Wehrmacht THROUGHOUT 1939-45, and not all were armed, its including doctors, auxillaries, and so fourth. Not to mention the Wehrmacht is including the navy and air forces.

  • @ pgharmon-Very 'intelligent' answer. You are making us Americans look stupid by your reply here.

  • @pgharmon lol Americans entered at the last possible second faggot the greatest American Battles like the Normandy landing (6000 German Dead) Ardennes offensive (70,000 German Dead) and the Italian invasion by the US (2000 German Dead) are fucking nothing compared to even the first month of operation Barbarossa not to mention the battles of Kursk, Stalingrad, operation Bagration the battle of Berlin lol its all easy fighting Volksturm old men and teenagers for the glorious USA

  • @pgharmon Right -.- thats why the wehrmacht at its peak was controlling around 85% of Europe and a big chunk of Africa. You are aware that the allied victory was secured by one man. Adolf Hitler. That guy made mistakes that cost Germany the war. Without ol' Adolf you'd be speaking German. And btw you could only say all that shit if your country was in it from the beginning. While true men died fighting for Europe you guys sat and watched. So tone the hormones down there buddy.

  • @huntercreed1 Except that's entirely wrong. Barbarossa and most other major actions of the war were formulated and planned by OKW without Hitler's interference. Essentially, Germany was fighting a war it could not win against opponents which had more resources.

  • @milo1047 *facepalm* milo at the beginning of the war Hitler was given a plan from his generals. The plan was to use their fallscrimjager (paratroopers) to launch a surprise attack on London. They would attack at night and drop a huge amount of men and supplies. Before England knew what was happening they would have the city. Hitler turned the plan down saying he didn't want to win a war in that way. Hitler made a lot of bad decisions that lost Germany the war. You lose, end of story.

  • @huntercreed1 Can you link me to this plan or rec some reading about it since I've never come across it in all the reading I've done on the war. Unless of course you refer to Seelowe (Sea Lion), which was an untenable plan written up by unenthusiastic generals who knew they hadn't the ability to cross the channel. In any case the plan never would have worked; dropping paratroops into urban terrain is asking for them to get chopped up piecemeal by the defenders. I fail to see how I've lost.

  • @huntercreed1 For that matter, supposing paras did manage to miraculously seize London in a surprise airdrop at night (notoriously difficult, as the Allies found out in Normandy, even with non-urban terrain), where would the be supplied from? The Germans didn't have the ability to cross the channel and keep open a line of supply, nor the airlift capability to keep an airborne pocket supplied without air supremacy, which they never got over the channel or the UK proper.

  • @milo1047 Sorry for not responding earlier. The plan was to take place before England had radar. The plan was to drop paratroopers during a foggy night and secure major air strips. They would then have transports that would move divisions over the channel. Hitler waited to long to take england on. His mistake was trying to take england out in the air where they had superiority. When he should have been taking them on the ground where he ruled.

  • @huntercreed1 Considering the UK had the Chain Home RADAR system up and running in '39 before the war even started, this plan would have had to have been implemented before the invasion of Poland to have a remote chance of succeeding. Essentially, impossible. I still have my doubts that this plan even exists. And it is impossible to defeat the UK "on land" when you have to cross the channel to get at them. Face it, Germany started a war it couldn't win.

  • @huntercreed1 hitler started the war. so how would we all be speaking German without him?

  • @discgolfer92 I wasn't saying if he never existed (although it could be argued WWII was imminent, Hitler or not). It has become close to fact that Hitlers decisions lost the Axis forces the war. He could have chosen to let his generals make his decisions and just sit back as the war was won with ease, instead he chose to make alot of bad decisions. What I meant was more along the lines of without Hitlers horrible decisions we would be speaking German (sorry for misconceptions)

  • @huntercreed1 maybe. maybe not. I think they definetly would have lasted longer. but the just didnt control enough of the resources they needed to win i think. we will never know.

  • @huntercreed1 Yeah but you also forget that without Hitler, THERE NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN A THIRD REICH TO BEGIN WITH!

    So, he created it and destroyed it.

  • Fuck all you baby-cooking Huns. We own you. My family came from Hunland. They took one final dump in that piss hole and came to America. Now we are Hun killers.

  • My grandfather fucked the Wehrmacht with his bayonette. They cried like babies while he thrust the metal through their Hun hearts. We are the winners bitches. As badass as you think the Wehrmacht were, we were worse badasses. My grandad's medals hang on my wall in honor of the baby killing Hun bitches he fucked with that bayonette. He told me they all cried like women - even the SS cunts he fucked.

  • If you ignore all the strange comments and listen to this documentary, which appears to have been produced by the BBC, you'll find this a very informative historical biography of the Wehrmact. I have been interested in WWII history for many years and find this series to be very good. As a US soldier stationed in Germany in the 80s. I find the German people completely different from the German people portrayed of WWII. Except for maybe their strong sense of communal responsibility.

  • Im an american and Whats on most americans minds is = Too busy following thier favorite village idiot on twitter or fackbooking their baby daddy. Oh wait, i forgot to tivo celebrity rehab. I wonder what celeb got arrested or is snorting crack today? Oh, pick me for ur next stupid reality show, i want my 15 mins of infamy. Its tee-shirt time!!! They just dont care about anything unless it effects their "bubble" of life. But by that time, its too late anyway.

  • @HisMight1 so I guess you decided not to think a little before you respond.And if everyone hates the United States of America,why do so many risk life and limb to try and live here?Where are you from?Some jealous little piss ant third world cesspool no doubt.Enjoy struggling for the rest of your life.

  • @HisMight1 Wow that's a well thought out response.Maybe you should go back to school and study some more,then you can come up with complete and intelligent remarks.Think before you write back,moron.

  • unurautare2-sht the fuck up bitch

  • unurautare2-fuck you you romanian peice of shit

  • @Sgreenenov13 american calling people "peices" of american. :<

  • @unurautare2-ur mom

  • @Sgreenenov13 my mom says you're a retard too.

  • The Wehrmacht,as a military force should be respected for their ability to fight alone.But they were the enemy,and were the bad-guys (even they knew they were the bad-guys)not to make it so simple,but those be the facts.

  • fuck the wehrmacht

  • @Sgreenenov13 retard.

  • this is better then what they have on the history channel

  • @rain208shine if you dont have the Military channel, get it. programs like these are just awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • there never has been or never will be again a army like it..unique in so many ways..destined for its own destruction and infamously revered..

  • its tough when your government is bent on military conquest. You either have to accept the concscription and kill what you are told to kill (soldiers, women, children) or you could get shot. There wasn't anything like conscientious objection. If you failed to kill on command then your family would also be shunned by the community. Sucks balls. Todays armies seem to be a bit more lenient., but then again, there is no major total war on.

  • Dam Krout's.

  • The Wehrmacht & Waffen SS commited war crimes, yes, but are unforunately linked to the Allgemeine SS's atrocities. The soldiers were not really involved in the crimes we have been beaten over the head with. Tt's all hypocrisy. You rarely hear about the 2 million rapes by the Red Army of German women, the 12 million ethnic Germans kicked out out non German areas, the fire bombing of millions of civilians by the Allies. The Allies were not saints but actually colonial and conquesting hypocrits

  • The Wehrmacht is arguably the finest armed force to ever walk this planet. Not only were they tough, but they were ideologically motivated. Americans love their doctors and lawyers, but historically Germans held the soldier in the highest regard. Our modern day order of battle is derived from them.

  • But you know that the red army can kick there ass anytime.

  • @TheBuba101 Huh? The "red" army only won because of American help, winter weather, and outnumbering German army. The red army was a joke. Tell me why they lost double the men that Germany did.

  • @freewill51 triple the men.

    and germany was fighting on 3 fronts

  • @freewill51 Well true actully

  • Comment removed

  • @jasincl is that little kids play to much call of duty

  • @jasincl You just want to be an American. Sorry, you can't. Mexicans come before you.

  • @freewill51 i have an American passport thank you very much

  • DEUTSCHER EHRE!!!

  • i hate people when they say that all nazi soldiers deserves to die not all of em are cold blooded bastards and they know true german honor and hell their just defending their fatherland fucking blame it to hitler and his lying officers showing false propaganda films and other shit that brainwashed german peoples mind to push them to support the war efforts and don't who do not thier simply sent to consentration camps

  • 6:41

    Nazi: "Hi YouTube!"

  • Germany has become more social then most other countries.. and most ppl in the usa are nazis now.

  • Wehrmacht...the most superior and fascinating military force ever to exist to date.

  • @QTwackoJ: By definition, the military force which defeated them was superior.

  • @VictorLepanto yes but only in number.....

  • @norwayitalo: No, in everyway the allied powers were their superior. The German military had some good tanks (greatly supplimented by brilliant commanders who knew how to use them), & the had new brilliant tactic methods (the blitzkrieg) which gave them an initial advantage. German communications & transport were severely limited. The Anglo-American alliance spanned the globe transporting whatever was needed to defeat the Axis Powers. Eisenhower said the real genius of war is logistics.

  • @VictorLepanto WRONG do not spew flawed rhetoric plz reading falacies gives me quite a migrain..dont even debate me on this, just keep your opinionated far from fact ideas to your self, go do your research, then try and educate...

  • @kmesprtan: Specify which of my facts were "flawed." Are you saying that Eisenhower never said that the real genius of war is logistics, are you saying this view itself is mistaken? Are you saying the Anglo-American militaries DIDN'T span the globe in a manner no other nation could match? Do you even have the foggiest idea what you're talking about? The post that is utterly devoid of any facts what-so-ever is yours. Your rhetoric is as empty as your over inflated head.

  • @VictorLepanto "No, in everyway the allied powers were their superior. The German military had some good tanks" from that point on i did not take you as a reliable intellectual vague assumptions that have no backing whatsoever..mabye ill share some insight look up the nazis top secret science and then tell me just how superior the allies were to germany.

  • @QTwackoJ  Id say the SS is

  • If it takes an whole world to beat 1 army.. Then that army ( wehrmacht ) was the best..

  • @SwedenArise the nazis lost, dude. get over it.

  • @quicklern818 All soldiers in the german army was not just some Nazis who killed jews.. They was normal men who obey order.. Fucking american punk..

  • Comment removed

  • @SwedenArise how did the Swedish army do during WW2? oh yeah, you guys stayed neutral, so i need to take your review into consideration considering you barely have a military. in terms of ww2 armies, the reds clearly proved they were best army when they overcame your glorious wehrmacht even though they had more casualties than america and british combined. The better army conquered the other's capital and made it their own.

  • @quicklern818 What has Swedens army to do with WW2 ? You just know im better then you in History.. So you just try to find more ways to make me feel bad so i will stop talk with you.. So you think your " Victorious ".. Wehrmahc was much better then the red army.. They were better trained... The red army won because Wehrmacht did need to fight on 2 fronts against 3 superpowers.. They couldnt just send all troops to east and beat the Red army.. And btw.. Berlin is not russian...

  • @SwedenArise the better army would't have opened a second front.

  • @quicklern818 the better army was germany. hitler was the one that forced germany to open a 2nd front. Had hitler not restricted his generals so much on the war, they might have won. thankfully, he did., and russia beat the wermacht by sheer attrition.

  • @SwedenArise "And btw.. Berlin is not russian..." East Berlin never existed as the Russian sector, oh wise one?

  • @quicklern818 Im talking about Berlin today.. And as i see Berlin is not Russian today.... Soviet dont even excist anymore.. Whole berlin did not ever get to their hands...

  • @quicklern818 LOL comma oh wise one with a question mark, hmmm....? you're not making much sense at all in any discussion.

  • @quicklern818 um....Germany did lose the war, however not all Germans were nazis & not all nazis were bad, remember Herr Clause von Stauffenburg? ,time for you "get over" generalizations. "dude" w/e the frig that means LOL.

  • @quicklern818 btw the only reason you're here is to oppose whomever & for whatever because you like howard stern & he's a pig. so enjoy your confrontational mindset.

  • @JRussoBuffaloNY Thank God you and i live in a country that allows us to voice our opinions without the punishment of death, because you're never going to believe this!--your beloved Nazis ACTUALLY KILLED people for thinking differently! Dude! =D

  • @quicklern818 & where in my commentary did I acknowledge or admit to being a nazi or supporting the warped beliefs, or do you place that moniker on anyone who opposes you in this realm? I like how you eluded from pretty much everything I typed. you're 30 grow up & leave the generalizations to the ignorant. or continue in your blissful ignorance.

  • @quicklern818 fiegling amerikaner, typical.

  • @JRussoBuffaloNY Nazis still lost, get over it

  • @quicklern818 yeah yeah yeah, u said that already, you unorignal P.O.S. no one's disputing whether they lost or not so your point is invalid to everything, it is true but irrelevant. you can have that & think about it, from me to you playboy. enjoy I'm over it maybe you should get over leaving obvious comments thinking you'll have some much needed support for your esteem.

  • Is it pronounced "vur mackt"?

  • Best army in my opinion. Along with the Waffen SS but they were fighting for the wrong ideas and/or cause

  • @Awesomeduud yeah you do make sense...I find it was a strong army and was all planned and oraganised.

    The only thing that went wrong was eliminationg Jewish people and invasion of poland...Power has overcome many people

  • finally a video which fits the entire screen, good work!

  • 18 million men??? Why there were only 6 million casualties?

  • @NgJackal1990 .. 6 million mothers, 6 million fathers.. uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, nieces.. etc.. the slaughter of life. the loss of a person is tragic, the loss of a 1000 a statistic, no one has the right to take the life of a another.. yet in the entanglement of war.. a figure is the worst justice one can give to the living, waiting for those 6 million to come home... they never do.

  • @NgJackal1990 18 million SERVED in the Wehrmacht the biggest amount of men they ever hade was 9million (and that was in 1945!)

  • @jasincl most in 1945 were old men and young boys.

  • British and American (French, Spain) didn´t have higher morals. You don´t build and empire likes theirs without breaking a lot of eggs. We (Europeans incl. those who call themselves "Americans") owe the world a great debt...

  • Even if that were the case, Th every country we went to war over on the principle of freedom and democracy, was allowed to come under an oppressive communist rule.

  • The best Army at the time but for the wrong Cause.

  • @TheElephant79

    I agree completely

  • >Guido Knopp

    Ok, I know what to expect.

  • Seems strange that Britan went to war with Germany over Poland, even though Russia was involved. When the war was over Britan allowed Russia to occupy part of Poland and even sent Poles from UK home, to what they knew would be certain death at the hands of Stalin.

  • @Taffnp thats false, Churchill drew up a bill to allow Poles to stay in Britain as soon as he realised what was happening to them at the hands of the Russians once they went home.

  • I guess many people don't understand why World War 2 even began... I don't blame them, when there is so little about the first world war.

  • THIS SERIES IS MEANT TO BE ABOUT BLITZKRIEG.......not the fucking "boo hoo" cry story of Nazi war crimes.

    Another bullshit Jewish piece of shot.

  • @blackmourning11 i dont like to see it all the time, either. but i think that it is important that the knowledge about such terrible things doesnt get lost. i mean, the us just didnt get enough of ww2's pain and terror. they re still starting wars. but at least we have to try and let future generations know about the horror of genocides like this one, just to try to never let anything like this happen again.

  • great series! thanks for uploading this video! many people have an obscured veiw between the wehrmacht and the SS. Most believe that they are the same "Nazi" which is not true in most cases. Of course certain divisions and soldiers of the Wehrmacht did unspeakable acts of violence, but most were just scared young men trying to stay alive and do what there country told them to do. Just like any other soldier of ww2 they should be respected for there bravery during a horrible time in history

  • @bradleytreseler

    klar, 80% waren einfach nur eingeschüchtert und keine nazis. irgendwie habens auch 3,5 millionen soldaten nach russland geschafft, angetrieben von angst,,,

  • @bradleytreseler wich is very sad when they begged for mercy..they should;ve shouted I did not choose to do this I was forced by the Fuhrer...sorry of any offence

  • @bradleytreseler I agree, thanx & thumbs up!

  • @bradleytreseler There is no big difference between SS and Wehrmacht. You make it very easy for you to separate in bed Germans SS and good Germans Wehrmacht. This is bullshit my friend. I prefer the SS even more, because they did war crimes cause of orders. They had no choice. Wehrmacht soldiers did it for fun!

  • 18 million men under arms (germany) and it took the entire world to beat them...and america has 100 million gun owners, the nwo hasnt a chance in hell against us yanks.

  • im a Slovak, and I think that that if USA would have stayed out of the European war that had nothing to do with then... then Germany would have crushed the Soviets &oligarchy in UK . then after a couple decades after Hitler had died, Germany would return democracy &the world would now be a far safer peaceful place...because USA would have never been propelled into the height of dominance which it now occupies, and the USA would not have constructed militaristic dictatorships all over the world

  • @slovakmath

    well cool, the next time germany crosses your border as it did 2 times before, we'll stay out of it.. americans arnt stupid, we all know the nations of the world will converge on america to usher us into the new world order, and we'll kick your asses and send you packing..

  • @simpleman1776 Fuck off cunt, you guys can't win a war. you guys never have, you say you won world war 1. the Russians won world war 2, you lost vietnam. and your loosing this war Casue your shit

  • @LORDeliphase

    i can tell you are a brit or ausie by the way you fagots talk,..like you got a peter in your mouth.

    bull fken shit dude, you havnt a clue. vietnam wasnt supposed to be won asshole..

    that ligitimized the UN dumbass. who needs the Un if we can go there ,kick there ass and win ?

    stupid fk.

  • @simpleman1776 america can't fucken fight for shit, you guys are fighting poorly trianed arab terrorists and a starting to loose and you guys to go in for an all out attack or you'll be to open you stupid fuck

  • @LORDeliphase

    SOME WAR, WE CANT FIRE UNLESS FIRED UPON, NOW IF WE WENT THERE AND KICKED AZZ LIKED WERE SUPPOSED TO.. WE'RE UNSTOPABLE. YOU DONT SEE EUROPE COMMING TO OUR RESCUE EVERY 50 YR'S, DO YA ?

    GOT NEWS FOR YA, THE NEXT TIME YOU PEOPLE DECIDE TO KILL EACHOTHER, WE ARE NOT COMMING OVER THERE AND FIGHTING YOUR BATTLES. THATS OVER WITH, WE'LL REVOLT AND WAGE WAR HERE FIRST.

    , IN FACT, I BET YOUR LIFE AGAINST MINE, THE UN HAS YOU SLAVES COME TO OUR LAND AND ATTEMPT TO ENSLAVE US,..

  • @simpleman1776 don't pretend that America entered the wars to protect Europeans from Hitler...this is propaganda...America entered the war for its selfish purposes, no different than today. All this has been declassified and the american government acknowledges this now. and yes, next time there is conflict in Europe, stay out of it

  • @slovakmath

    AS I SAID, IT WAS TO LEGITIMIZE THE UN AFTER THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS FAILED. NOTHING MORE.. ROOSEVELT SOLD US OUT TO WORLD GOV.

    AND FOR THE RECORD, MY LAST NAME IS PESCHECK.., I'M SLOVIC..,WELL ACTUALLY GRAND PA WAS FROM VIENNA AUSTRIA.(BOHEMIAN).

  • @slovakmath America didn't join WWII you dumb fuck we were declared war upon by two criminal governments.

  • my grandpa got a nahkampfspange for fighting in the battle of sevastopol

  • @therealbamlee nice my gramp won the iron cross 1st class and 2nd.and towards the end of the war he won the kights cross and is mentiond in heros of the reich book.

  • @Maggot4000

    well my grand dad, born in the same year, village and country as hitler, had the brains to leave in 1906 and become american..I am 100% aryan of bohemian decent and completly absolved of all that guilt, sucks to be you..ha ha ha ..

  • The wehrmacht were as responsible 4 the evils of the nazis as any1 . Individual soldiers may have been naive or wotever but they were fightin 4 the nazi cause and all swore an allegiance 2 hitler. The real german heroes were those who fled nazi germany and fought against the nazis in foreign armies and those germans interned in concentration camps 4 their opposition 2 hitler.

  • @westnblu WOuld you say the genocide allowed by the American Government would make you an evil as well?

  • @Frankcastle522 wot genocide allowed by the american govt? dont understand your point

  • @westnblu no pepole call pepole who fight aginst there on men traitors.

  • @Maggot4000 they werent fightin germans they were fightin the nazi regime. Many later were considered heroes and employed in govt positons in west germany

  • the supreme irony is that the world war began over poland and in the end poland was not freed at all but given to russia who partnered with germany and invaded poland too. so much for allies fair play. allies suppose to help germans fight communism to avoid the cold war and really free poland.

  • i've always wanted to be apart of WWII not cause the war just so i could be appart of something.... even thought germany lost

  • the Wehrmacht would be equivalent to the US Army in that most of these men were just soldiers.Most of these men didnt involve themselves in Naziism. They were just foot soldiers. Officers were more into the Nazi party because the higher the rank, the more they had to deal with Jodl, Keitel, Von Runstedt, and even Hitler. Most of the enlisted and junior officers were just taking orders.

  • Also, does anyone find it ironic that the biggest empire in the world, the British? Are going around and lecturing others about "man of peace" and starting wars and partaking in atrocities? When the BRITISH were ruthless, especially in countries like India and in southern Africa? It's a fucking joke, WW2 never had to be fought. Hitler offered peace many times. Britain declined because they were JEALOUS of Germany, and didn't want Germany to become strong. To become an empire.

  • @WTCTribute Excuse me, but WW2 would have been fought regardless as to whether or not Britain surrendered. Hitler had a strange liking for the British and that is the only reason that he sued for peace, because of an unexplainable liking for the English that is as unexplainable as his vehement hatred for the Jews. The British were ruthless, but so were the Americans, and the Russians, and the Japanese. There is good and bad in every crowd. And England wasn't jealous, they were scared shitless!!!

  • HEIL the men of the Wehrmacht! - the best Soldiers ever..none of them died..they will live forever.

  • For God's sake... You can't watch anything about ww2, without hearing about "The jewish problem" many Jews were in the Wehrmacht, and most Germans, and SS men, couldn't care less about jews.

  • Ww2 was the second part of the great saga of modern industrialized warfare The Brutal conditions imposed on the germaN CIVILIANS AT THE tREATY OF vERSAILLES Created the conditions for Hitlers rise to power . If the allies of ww1 had been gracious in victory There would have been a period of peace .

  • What kind of army? The best and fearless divisions of men who were the finest and would still be judged the finest even in todays times. Without a seconds hesitation. An order is ansered by " Jaa wohl!!

  • @germaniajim ...when things were going well. When things got rough, they had the highest desertion rate of any force in the war. Only the Japanese were able to continue their strict obedience to orders when things had gone to shit...

  • the greatest well trained army in the world at there peak they were near enough unbeatable ...R.I.P all soldiers that have fallen

  • They were our enemies, but I have a ton of respect the ones who didn't have a role in the Holocaust. They were a lot like us, just average men fighting for their country. As someone else said, they deserved a better cause.

  • my g pa was a wermacht

  • Wehrmacht didn't suffer a total defeat. They have just been freed. O.O

  • Germany had a very strong military, germany and their allies were even stronger then the soviet union in the first 3 months of the war but that changed when the russians started put everything they had into the war effort, after operation barbarossa, Russia became the dominant military, Germany had better tactics though until after Stalingrad then it was all Russia.

  • its good that theres finally a video from the german perspective

  • Not a Hitler fan, not a Nazi fan, but i do wish the Wehrmacht had defeated the Soviets.

    I would much rather trust a jew than a soviet. in fact, they should have put German jews in charge of running the concentration camps to execute soviets.

    Germany probably could have got support from the Allies if it was a war of Germany vs the USSR.

  • @schumacher500 If it weren't for the Holocaust, then I'd agree with you...but because of the Holocaust, as much as I dislike the Soviets, I'm glad they beat the Nazis.
