There's ony mighty difference to people who want to judge guys like this today: back then, guys nuts, regardless if they were German, American, Russian or Japanese. The fuckin difference is that they had BIG HAIRY NUTS. So please any COD wannabe keyboard fighters PLEASE SHUT UP.
The Germans were very fortunate the Western Allies advanced to the Elbe. Millions of soldiers and civilians escaped the wrath of the Red Army this way.
it really kills me inside to know that soon there will be no more verterans no more mnoble men and women to tell of the greatest war that took place in humanitys history
Thank you Sir for your American Iron Will, unknown to the Obama administration. The only word those douchebags know is words like welfare, redistribution,socialism, communism. So sad that guys like this died to keep people like us '''''UM, Free"""> I so appreciate these guys, and I'm sure they couldn't imagine that america would elect an absolute moron for "president"
I have the up most respect for people like this man. My Grandpa wasn't in world war 2 but did his tour of duty in Malaysia in the British army as a medic/nurse and he is one of the greatest people I know.
I dont want to be pessimistic, but the latest generation (im in it) are a bunch of useless disrespectful pack of arseholes. Not all of them ofcourse :)
@dumbtardface. ignorant? i think not, think about it back then you didnt have a choice so therefore soldiors did not sign up for it they were in fact darfted not all of them but most of them.
i'd say it was a german general, not a nazi general. people always forget that "nazi" stands for "Nationalsozialismus" (national socialism) which is a political direction, not a nationality.
@redzhunter, Murderers? how dare you call the men that fought against a fascist regime murderers! these men (both sides) fought for what they believed was right fought so their children and future generations, even the men that were drafted fought so they could go home to their wives and kids at the end of the war.
without these brave courageous men most of us wouldn't be here today! these men had morale, pride, respect, bravery.
no life that is lost fighting for a just cause is wasted!
@Nostro200 ask any german soldier alive today if they regret fighting in the war ill bet the only thing they might regret is what they were fighting for
@MartinLuciferKing What do you mean, disgusting society? Do you want to go back too the older days? What time period? Ill get to your remarks about the "swarms" later.
@MartinLuciferKing are you fucking kidding me? Marxism was around BEFORE the Nazis. Lady Gaga is a singer (if that)! and jewish control? what the..explain yourself.
@UndercoverCracker Do you know why they're the greatest generation? It's because they were all born before this Marxist liberal society took its stranglehold on the US and decayed morals, pride and freedom. Every generation of American was great prior to that time. Now with our controlled media and gov't, it's become a shittier place to be. People are brainwashed from childhood to accept certain liberal beliefs even if they don't realize. The real Americans can see this and demand a change.
Hitler thought they were inferior, but still, even black POW's were treated just as well as any other POW from the Western Front, I doubt he would be targeting other ethnic groups, Hitler had his own reason for targeting the jews.
It's has nothing to with killing nor has it to do on which side they were on. it's the fact that there generation ,off all country's that has witnessed this war, learned us so mutch. There's a reason that every people on this planet, even though they don't know a lot of this war, say's : never again.
And there for i thank this sir for doing this and to let us see the coman man and women who had to go through it.
It was the SS who did the worse of war crimes, the Wehrmacht was nothing more but a normal military like todays Bundswehr, plus a German General is not a "Nazi", he is a military leader, not a Nazi leader.
The Americans, russians and the germans behaved like animals in WW2, but America would never throw an atomic bomb at us, mainly because they would never dare to betray their own race in such an unhuman way. What i think is funny is that after the world war germany was destroyed, but compare germany and america now 65 years later, who's more advanced? Education, human rights, infrastructure, health care, and so much more :D Im glad that the war happend or else we would still be killing jews ^^
Yes, Hitler would definantly still be in power while being more than 100 years old -_-
It is German technology that helped you Americans so much after the war, German technology from during and after the war continues to help us even today.
0.54 Yanks with the communist flag below them.... what a disgracefull part of american/ English History... working with stalin who was killing millions before the war, during the war and another 20 million after the war...
@magje77 OK then you idiot i am more disgracefull than stalin and i am more disgracefull than a goverment who worked with someone who killed more than 40 million people... ok whatever... you really are a comedian.
@TheBavarianAryan Yes indeed and you are really a heck of a bad reader, Did I assumed that Stalin is not a criminal? Did i assumed that the world is @ peace? No I did not! I only left a word of a tribute to the Veterans, How many time's do I have to repeat this? Once?twice? dear god, If you know it best then, Maybe you should stand the post! Leaving the world with your anti-communist bullshit. So why would call me a moron, on the first place! If u had chosen to react normal, I would reply normal
@magje77 maybe because i lost allot of family who where fighting the communists and who had to suffer the reign of communism for 70 years and people like you salute the veterans who helped the communists and throw europe into red terror and call the people who where fighting the reds (like my opa) you call nazi pigs who dont deserve a salute. Germans wheere brave young soldiers who fought till the VERY end, if that does not deserve a salut then nothing does.
@magje77 The biggest genocides were performed by the allies, i hope you realise this. and i hope you realise we have yet to find a single jewish corpse from the holocaust, and that its a fact that germany were the only nation to propose peace. infact they did it MANY Times. to quote churchill meeting Roosevelt in Quebec. "Heavens sake no, they would accept immidiately" This was his answer to a reporters "will you propose peace with germany" Germany did not want the war, international bankers did
@wixnarara I am from sweden but my ancestors fighted against your soldiers and showed you whos king ;D You are good at bombing our cities and killing our civilians but your soldiers haha
@MyPasswordIsUserName Look at your comment. tell me, why do u ignore historical facts, science, and philosophy to further promote what u have been taught to believe? not only is your comment about killing people, u cherish killing. You are worse than the nazis were ever made out to be yourself apparently :)? Nazis were not evil, theres no "good" in a war. but if someone truly was evil in the war, look to; Britain? Russia?

The Stalinist Communists were far worse than Germans. We know this because Albert Goering was our family friend and also because my mother was born in Germany. The Soviets lied, murdered by the score. General Vlassov went against Stalin after the war, btw.
My best friend's grand father (one of the coolest guys I knew) was a WWII vet, sadly he passed away a few months ago. He was badass. He fought on the elucian (SP) islands, and had so much hate for the japs he wouldn't eat rice after he got home. No one could make him eat rice, and it stayed that way till the dau he died. He was a cool guy. :)
Surrendering? Capturing? Bah, it's a matter of semantics and parsing words. Splitting hairs. The German General allowed himself to be captured, mainly to avoid capture by the Russians. The luckiest German troops in WW2 were the ones who were wounded early in the war and sent to POW camps in the USA. They were well treated, well fed and housed. For them the war ended early.
What on Earth are you talking about? This war was a war like any other, both sides massacre the enemy (often those who are not the enemy). One old man reminising doesn't change anything! So naive.

Well when he takes him in, or subdues him, he has technically captured him it doesn't matter if he surrendered or not. Only fools use stupid technical terms.
And there are two different terms for technical, by what I said to you I mean that you use meanings to win in a conversation, even if you know what the man means.
@NobuyukiHiyama Maybee your right but i am from Germany and my Motherlanguage is German so it´s not my fault if i not understand exactly what he´s saying :)
He sayed that the General SURRENDERT to him and he sayed to his Officers or what ever that he CAPTURED him. So for me it is not the same! He even wan´t the German to bring some Lugers across the river for letting him bring his Field Wife to the other side. So for me hé´s just a normal Soldier, not a Hero or something.
ill take it, all i know his name was Muke Buzo, i have a helmet that s his friends, his name was Herman Bowing. ill take a picture. when i get the chance
he was in singal company i think, i dont remember and 41th infantry regement. i had to bury threw his idems. he drove a m3 grayhound. and there was a picture of him holding a german flag in the rhine river. cool stuff, he died 3 years ago. he never talked about the war. it was probably he tolk part of a lerberation of a POW camp after they tolk the Outher river, i think it was called.
My God these men will always have my outmost respect. I truly hate living in Florida and its heat, as I'm a northern Italian and I prefer cold weather myself, but one of the major perks of ending up down here, is with my job I get to meet a lot of WWII vets and talk to them, and they truly are amazing people, and I am extremely blessed to get to hear their stories! I'm really not sure why I am so deeply into WWII, but I'm very proud of coming from a family who were against Hitler and Mussolini.
No, but I was thinking of starting to do that, as I was typing my reply to your video! I guess one reason why I haven't done it, is because I've been told that a lot of them don't like to talk about their time during WWII, and I surely don't want to make them feel uncomfortable, or even depress them....
Also to keep in mind, my rockstar appearance (long reddish hair, sunglasses....) probably at first turns them off to me, as (understandably so) people from that era aren't used to that.
It's true. A lot of them have a hard time talking about it, but the veterans who do find it really healing. It's good for them to process their experiences and we found that these videos have really helped them to find meaning with it all. They love that people want to hear their stories.
It is great, as they deserve all the credit they can get from anyone really, for fighting the war the way they did, for the training they went through, for the fact that they saved the whole world, as if it weren't for them, we'd all speak German by now.
I have some similar memories. The jump on Normandy, Market-Garden and more. Sometimes when I watch these, I cry, it brings back memories for friends who did not make it home. It was so long ago, but each face is etched into memory for the rest of my life.
The victors always get to write history.

He fought on the elucian (SP) islands, and had so much hate for the japs he wouldn't eat rice after he got home. No one could make him eat rice, and it stayed that way till the dau he died. He was a cool guy. :)

Surrendering? Capturing? Bah, it's a matter of semantics and parsing words. Splitting hairs. The German General allowed himself to be captured, mainly to avoid capture by the Russians. The luckiest German troops in WW2 were the ones who were wounded early in the war and sent to POW camps in the USA. They were well treated, well fed and housed. For them the war ended early.

What on Earth are you talking about? This war was a war like any other, both sides massacre the enemy (often those who are not the enemy). One old man reminising doesn't change anything! So naive.

Well when he takes him in, or subdues him, he has technically captured him it doesn't matter if he surrendered or not. Only fools use stupid technical terms.

And there are two different terms for technical, by what I said to you I mean that you use meanings to win in a conversation, even if you know what the man means.
NobuyukiHiyama 1 year ago
@NobuyukiHiyama Maybee your right but i am from Germany and my Motherlanguage is German so it´s not my fault if i not understand exactly what he´s saying :)
He sayed that the General SURRENDERT to him and he sayed to his Officers or what ever that he CAPTURED him. So for me it is not the same! He even wan´t the German to bring some Lugers across the river for letting him bring his Field Wife to the other side. So for me hé´s just a normal Soldier, not a Hero or something.

My God these men will always have my outmost respect. I truly hate living in Florida and its heat, as I'm a northern Italian and I prefer cold weather myself, but one of the major perks of ending up down here, is with my job I get to meet a lot of WWII vets and talk to them, and they truly are amazing people, and I am extremely blessed to get to hear their stories! I'm really not sure why I am so deeply into WWII, but I'm very proud of coming from a family who were against Hitler and Mussolini.
vampiroangelico 2 years ago 3
You sound like you have some amazing stories to share too! Have you recorded any of them? Or recorded any of the veterans you have met?
dbocaz 2 years ago
No, but I was thinking of starting to do that, as I was typing my reply to your video! I guess one reason why I haven't done it, is because I've been told that a lot of them don't like to talk about their time during WWII, and I surely don't want to make them feel uncomfortable, or even depress them....
Also to keep in mind, my rockstar appearance (long reddish hair, sunglasses....) probably at first turns them off to me, as (understandably so) people from that era aren't used to that.
:-)
vampiroangelico 2 years ago
It's true. A lot of them have a hard time talking about it, but the veterans who do find it really healing. It's good for them to process their experiences and we found that these videos have really helped them to find meaning with it all. They love that people want to hear their stories.
dbocaz 2 years ago
It is great, as they deserve all the credit they can get from anyone really, for fighting the war the way they did, for the training they went through, for the fact that they saved the whole world, as if it weren't for them, we'd all speak German by now.

I have some similar memories. The jump on Normandy, Market-Garden and more. Sometimes when I watch these, I cry, it brings back memories for friends who did not make it home. It was so long ago, but each face is etched into memory for the rest of my life.
