Former Hitler Youth and WWII German veteran. 700 Club story on Hilmar von Campe

Story filmed in 2009 about Hilmar von Campe being raised under the Nazis, his time as a Hitler Youth and German WWII soldier, POW camp and escape, and life changing experience following the war when he committed his life to God. His book, Defeating the Totalitarian Lie, is also presented. The book is part autobiography and part warning not to repeat - especially in America - the mistakes that lead to a totalitarian system.

Great story but he renacting parts are done horribly.

[svoncampe]

@Theakker3 Unfortunately, I can't disagree :)

This guy has an Israeli accent.. It's pretty suspicous.. There are many ww2 germany veterans who have gone to jail who have said that the holocaust was a fraud for the most part and the number of deaths have been greaty exxagarated.

[svoncampe]

@xMaXiMuSx This must be one of the silliest things I have ever heard. I'm sure, however, that my dad will get a kick out finding out 86 years later that he is actually Israeli...

@svoncampe

ok but why are there hundreds of german WW2 veterans in jail just because they dare to challenge the official story of the holocaust.. that questions has NEVER been answered.. Who's afraid of what they they are talking about and why?

[svoncampe]

@xMaXiMuSx I know of no such vet - much less hundreds - that are in jail for challenging/denying the holocaust. Merely denying it wouldn't even be an incarcerating offense, no matter where these vets were supposedly jailed. The assertion that the Holocaust didn't happen is simply ridiculous and unfounded. Such a claim, as far as I know, has not surprisingly come from the Muslim world. Regardless, defending the existence or not of the Holocaust is not my dad's mission or purpose.

All germans were not bad you idiot! Russians were worse,raping people and sending them to siberia!

As an American with a grandfather who served in WWII, it's nice to see and listen to what it was like for the Germans who were fighting against us. Good video =)

thoughtful man

[quiksilv3rsurfESTV]

woow people yap and yap about stupid ideology of WW2 but they don't get the most important message here. How one German man that grew up in a system based on lies and unbalanced people, was changed and motivated by the truth of God and faith and found balance and love in his life. Thanks for the upload

[Scylvendi1813]

The point I am trying to make is, WAR IS HELL. It is completely avoidable, it is the darkest part of our nature, it has no soul, it is black as pitch and it is completely self serving. Thank you to every one who gave their life for us undeserving creatures, to live with rights and freedoms that never before existed, thank you for your lesson in humanity. I for one am humbled.

[Scylvendi1813]

When I was a child I asked him a foolish question, as boys often do "Grandpa, did kill people in the war", my Grandfather rarely spoke of this topic, I believe his response was something to the effect of "more than I care to remember". The truth is, the war its self was a holocuast, what happened to the jews, was a mear gimmer of the true horror, 6 Million Jews? How about 60 Million souls, German, Austrian,Hungarian,Polish,Norw­egian, Russian, English,Canadian. the list goes on and on and on.

[Scylvendi1813]

And the poor condition of the German army, he made the decision to abandon Nazi Germany to its fate, he picked the lives of his wife and son over his "duty to hitler" he smuggled his family through to Italy where later he was captured by Canadian troops. He spent the rest of the war in a POW camp, was later tried for war crimes and found innocent of the charges. He brought his family to Canada, where he fathered 4 more children and passed away at the age of 94....

[Scylvendi1813]

My Grandfather fought in the war, he was an SS - Oberscharfuhrer, who fought in Poland,France, and Russia, he was a soldier taking orders, not an executioner, nor a camp guard, he refused to kill women and children, and claims to have never shot an unarmed man. He was badly wounded in 41, shrapnel from a tank shattered his femur and left him with a permanent limp. He was re assigned to a desk position in Germany up until the end of the war, when he discovered how close the Russian army had come

@MeatMachineStudios ...That's why it was easier to Forge a Lie.

[MeatMachineStudios]

@xMaXiMuSx Oskar Schindler was a real guy. That movie was based on true happenings. But like all movies, some things were added for dramatic effect. Nothing too significant to the story, though.

There are no lies about the Holocaust... We all wish it never happened, but denial is pointless and stupid.

Besides, history is written by the victor, regardless of the truth. If the Nazis won the war, I'm sure we wouldn't know about this genocide, but they didn't.

[xMaXiMuSx]

@MeatMachineStudios

NO.

But you got to admit that there are a lot of holocaust lies.. Remember that Steven Spielberg movie.. That was suppose to be based on a true story but well guess what,, the Woman was a liar.
