  • No. The real one is this one...

  • When you see the eyes of the grenadier, the one with the K98 on his back; you can see that he’s doped with the famous pervitin®…Heavily tired but he’s well.

  • @floriangeyer72 Really???? That is a intresting topic you just brought up. What exazctly is pervitin and was it common in the german wermacht?

  • @popper504 : Pervitin : methamphetamine used during World War II by Axis and Allied forces.The German military dispensed it under the trademark name Pervitin. It was widely distributed across rank and division, from elite forces to tank crews and aircraft personnel, with many millions of tablets being distributed throughout the war. ;o)

    You can see an American half track on the background.

  • poteau? There's another poteau somewhere?

  • que habra sido de estos soldados alemanes sus nombres verdaderos sobrevivieron hay muchas interrogantes sobre este episodio de la historia de la guerra como cuando donde estan vivos o no cuando murieron etc.uno se dice que es walter armbrusch y el otro de la famosa secuencia cinematografica alemana no se sabe nada. lo cierto es que estos bravos soldados alemanes nunca seran igualados por ningun soldado fueron unicos porque hasta el final creian en la victoria.hoy diciembre 18 de 2011 mi homenaje

  • @floriangeyer72 The Battle of the Bulge Museum has confirmed it is not Walter. The man in the video does not want identified or recognition to the public. He has lived in the USA for over 50 years now and has moved on from this chapter of his life. He is now a elderly man enjoying his senior years.

  • @Eagle9294 : So you confirm that he's not "Walter Ambrusch"?

  • @floriangeyer72 Your remarks are three years old but I will respond. They know his name. He does not wish for it to be released and he does not want any attention. People keep mistakin him for Walter Ambrusch. It's not Walter.

  • @goldyn12345 Hated it I have been told.

  • this is great footage. it almost seem like its ordinary friends having a smoke. but these men are hardened wariors they have my respect

  • @floriangeyer72 why was that drug used to calm people?

  • @DexterHollandrulez06

    yeah great pic. and now this is first time i see him moving
