Documenting the Path of American Liberators (part 3)

[ThePresterJohn]

I am not a Holocaust denier. I asked Ushmm a simple question, and he kindly gave me the answers. Thanks for that.

[8azile8]

Anyone who denies the holocaust are disgusting excuses for human beings. There are pictures, video, death camps and survivors. Are you seriously that stupid? I mean really, how does it feel to know that you are ridiculously stupid?

[ThePresterJohn]

Germans keep highly accurate records, Where are the records of the concentration

camps ? I'v never heard of them. Do they exist ?

[ushmm]

@ThePresterJohn The Archives and Photo Archives of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum contain 56 million+ pages plus 130 million digital images from the Int’l Tracing Service and 83,000 historic photographs. The US National Archives and Records Administration houses 70,000+ rolls of microfilm of captured German and related records from WWII, many available at Footnote dot com. Also, the Holocaust History Project makes many Holocaust-related German documents available online with translation.

[alanheath]

@ushmm And that is just what the USHMM has. In Europe there are major archives too.

[RebelSonBand]

@ThePresterJohn Yes they do...

[humbledanny]

@ThePresterJohn yea bitch take that

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

Dresden wasn't bombed "for some unknown reason".....Dresden was a major rail and communication center and had 110 factories with 50,000 workers supporting the German war effort.. The bombing was a valuable strategic operation, not just a whim of the allies. Some tend to gloss over the importance of the raid and on the surface it does sound horrendous. When you look past the facade there WERE reasons for the raid. Civilians often die in wartime and Dresden was no exception.,

[nogocologne]

@SpeedyNeutrino43

to me YOU are a real "Holocaust" denier...

operation thunderclap had nothing to do with military targets (Wehrmacht). Churchill, Harris, US+ RAF pilots all have admitted this.

It had two goals:

- kill as many civilians as possible

- impress the russians that RAF+ USAF could completly destroy with "conventional" weapons.

BTW. did you know Hitler in 1940 officially made the proposal to England to ban "weapons of mass destruction" (which means large scale bombers)

[sharonpayne28]

@nogocologne And he was well known for sticking to his word lol

[nogocologne]

@SpeedyNeutrino43

even your mass murder heroes churchill etc admitted that dresden had no strategic reason besides killing as many civilians as possible and completely destroy a part of german culture. The USAF&RAF even destroyed the mid-eval "museum city" of Rothenburg with its world famous art treasures - which is good prrof that nearly all ot 45 raids were pure barbarism.

[JoshuaH688]

I am a proud American and I believe in the equality of all people, but what many historical themes leave out is the massive amount of moral relativism that goes into politics and war, and ultimately gets shoved under the rug. We dropped nukes on women and children in Japan knowing that we were killing masses, but that is viewed today as something that had to be done.  I'm not judging. I'm just saying, none of this is black and white.

[chakiely]

nuremburg victors justice-where was the prosecution for the annialation of dresden cologne hamburg- nagasaki hiroshima- russian war crimes of the vilest nature never prosecuted- victors justice

[MaximusProteus]

True, there was also noone put on tril for what was done in Warsaw, you don`t know it anyway as it doesn`t fit 'someone' busyness... Dreseden ws made some simbol, for the unknown reason, many more German cityies were in far worse condition. Same goes for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a one spectacular blow is rememberd, noone knows that in the bombings of Tokio died more people.

Who cares??

[winfriedstar]

I think he was hang

[AzWaCaFla]

Many believe that germans are the sole target of the WWII propaganda hoax known as the holocaust but the co-targets are the american indians, african-americans, south africans, west africans, south americans, congolese, armenians, ukrainians, arabs and russians all of whom the jews conducted genocides between the years 1650-1989. The hoax was designed to deceitfully portray jews as bigger victims than all of their own real victims so they wouldn't ever be punished or forced to pay out money.

[worldwidesquirrel]

My uncle was one of the liberators at Dachau. The fact of the Holocaust is fully documented. You, and all of the other Holocaust deniers, are the ones trying to perpetuate a hoax. If any of you were in possession of a brain, you might be dangerous. As it is, you are just a pitiful joke.

[Vivsection]

Why the hell did they find the gas chambers then. And what business did the Germans have in rounding all of the jews up? Come on now.

[sjmunoz]

yeah man ! this holocaust deniers are the kind of people that believe in the end of the world on 2012 !

what can we say ? BRAINLESS!

cheers !

[nogocologne]

@sjmunoz

the claim of the revisionists it that they are in some way the real pacifists because they debunk atrocity stories that justify war since ever (creating image of evil)....

[readynow12345]

All the deniers ask for there proof that it didn't then see what.

I think the deniers are so apalled by the holocaust that they refuse to believe it ever happened, There's gotta be some kind of syndrome for this, its call the deniers syndrome.

[nogocologne]

@worldwidesquirrel

documented by steven spielberg? Most of the archives are NOT opened yet and the The International Tracing Service of Arolsen, an affiliate of the Red Cross or the IRC itself sure have interesting numbers to tell...

[jrwel14]

@nogocologne Yes the Red Cross on their own web page. Mention that they were under the Nazis influence during the war. And, they practically appologized for those actions they did.

[nogocologne]

@worldwidesquirrel

depends on your definition of "holocaust"

[Mercenary1967]

AzWaCaFla, and he is a absolute goof. He has nothing to base his claims on. This guy goes around you tube cutting and pasting the same old garbage. Approach him he runs off, and removes comments from his page. He is not out to debate, but to lie. Where does he get these half baked comments? From Ernst Zundel, a Neo Nazi, that I believe is still serving time, in Germany.

[moparmonster1965]

That doesn't even make sense. And if the Jews were so crafty as to conduct such an enormous hoax as the Holocaust, why haven't they done it again to silence those of us who accept it as fact?

[johno934]

idiot,so the jews caused there own deaths especially the babys,germany declared war on the us after japan attacked the us,hitler and japan wanted to rule the whole world look at all the countries they invaded,moron

[lily2stinky]

I have come to notice in these comments that people from different have different versions of the war. Can't we all agree that it was a horrible loss of life no matter what "side" you are on.

[SR61]

You're going to get banned from You Tube because your attitude is far too balanced and thoughful .

[MatthewPeaceRocks]

my grandfather was a pilot in the RAF

[Jimderkaisser]

you're from canada..you supolsy said "RCAF" not "RAF"

[MatthewPeaceRocks]

yea im from newfoundland but during ww2 we never actually sent an army overseas but lots of newfoundlanders joined the armies of britian and the united states. my grandfather was one of 700 newfoundlanders in the royal air force. he was a pilot in the 125th (newfoundland) squadron

[Jimderkaisser]

Nuremberg was completly destroyed, and they had no military industry , only civilian. A 13th century ghottic age town was completly destroyed...only 96bomb failed, 500-600 bomber from British/Canadian army had the mission to destroyed the town where the Nazi party started. The First bombing mission was a total defeat in march 1944, but the another in 1945 was a total "Victory" or more a total "Genocide".

[Jimderkaisser]

A follen soldiers is not a forgetten soldiers, same for civilian. Never forget what allied do in Germany. Long live germany!!! o/

[kaosragnarok87]

The bombing of civilians was started by Hitler in the air war over Britain. He thought he could bomb the British people into an armistice so he could focus on the only war he trully wanted to fight (the one against communist russia). Stop rewriting history people.

[Jimderkaisser]

Stop rewritting history? wow....wait a minute,american who told me "stop rewritting history" haha...that exactly happened in 1945/1946...ameircan written his own history like the real hero, the nazi did killed 6 million jews and b/s like that...but we forget the Nuremberg,dresden and many more city like that. adolf hitler never started destroyer city...the london bombing was a total mistake from luftwaffe who suposly destroyed a navy base no longer from London..

[kaosragnarok87]

.......dude is that what they teach you in history class over there? Seriously??? That's pathetic man. Read a few books and stop living in your sheltered world of ignorance.

Its a historical FACT that the Luftwaffe bombed civilian cities ALL OVER EUROPE before the Americans even entered the war. If you think otherwise, then you need to stop wasting your time bitching on here and start reading some history books.

[Jimderkaisser]

ameircan do nothing in WW2..stop called "American" say Allies.

[robert496]

Conditions in the polish pow camp do not look too bad.

[zielony303]

Why you not arrive to Warsaw ???

[hevidt]

my dad was placed in another area. my two little sisters were left with some old german women who did not care if the children were fed or not. my parents survived the horror. my two sisters did not. they were starved to death, and later poisoned.

the horror stories that my parents had told me, are no where to be found in history books of the movies.

[cip7378]

Piece of history! Very impressive!

[hevidt]

cip7378

the horror stories will live with me until i die, and now they are in my sons's hearts. it will never die.

[hevidt]

this is were my parents spent their youth...a nightmare. heavy labor camps

( slaves camps) 10 to 12 hours a day working. they were fed one small piece of old dry bread, and onion peel soup. my mother was ordered to draw the german's airplane wings...no mistakes or else you will be killed on the spot.

[NewBoi1980]

All three parts are excellent--and just what I was looking for for my World War II v. Germany playlist! Thank you very much.
