And lets not forget the crimes of the Soviets either. And yet, not one of them has ever faced trial for the crimes they commited against POWs and also their own people - not like the Germans.

@BannerFigurezZz uhm.....the German army was a PROFESIONAL army, it was the best disciplined army in that time, the reason for their crimes was that most were teached nazism(they were superhumans thus every other race, mostly slavic had to be exterminated) Probably the list would be 1. Russia 2. Japan 3. Germany. Russia was full of conscripts and idiots. Also German crimes on the western front were faaaarrr less then on the eastern

the amazing thing is before the 2 world war there were lots of Nazi supporters in america but iv'e only heard of that once on a program and never in history books.

LOL, they should start by telling what terrible things the soviets did to the Ukrainians!

Stalingrad never had to be a battlefield to begin with. Hitler should have just kept Army Group South together and go after the oil in the south. Stalingrad wasn't as strategic as this great documentary made it out to be.

All the germans were not Nazi's.... they soldiers were just fighting for their country, but thats no excuse for rape and murder. History is always made falsely blunt by the victors.

@unrealassasination Yes this was the reason for systematic crimes, but later on they used conscripts (because, well they had run out of proffesionals) and then the large incidents occurd, this was the I believe the topic.

I do agree though that their hate fueled ideology was not only very wrong but also a way for them to talk right violence
