German War-time qualities

I believe that the German soldier in the media is under-represented. They are shown as evil, vile, cruel and almost like lifeless robots. However this is clearly no the case, they were men and like represented in the American war movies, too shared moments of highs and lows and still were amongst each other to get through these times.

Sure there were elements of perhaps fanatacism, however they were also in the Soviet forces, and Allied.

I know there are many good images out there that I could have added to this movie, but I tried to limit them otherwise I would have had a 20 odd minute movie and would lose interest

Sorry if the music is repetitive.

Lastly, thanks to all those who have helped me with images:

@AppleSouffle You did not watch a "documentary", you watched a propaganda piece.

I hate the negative comments here. You search for a Wehrmacht video just to spread your pathetic comments. You are fed with lies from the government and movies. They make the Wehrmacht, Waffen SS, Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine look like merciless robots. The Allies killed innocent German people and also POWs. The bombed cities where civilians lived. If they did that to civilians how much more to the POWs

@1776Patroit2009  We should have been allies with them in the first place !

Several months ago I watched a documentary about all the atrocities committed by the Waffen SS and the Wehrmacht (the German army). They were very dedicated soldiers, but their memories are stained with the blood of the countless innocent civilians they murdered, men, women, boys and girls.

The people of Rotterdam surrendered! Then the bastard Nazis still bombed the town! And killed tens of thousands of innocent people.

I'm half Dutch. Those Nazi scum got what they had coming to them.

@prinzeugenvonsavoyen well thats not right. A war should have had a meaning, without Hitler there wont be a meaning. besides its his desighns, his ideologies, his creativity put in to these things. yes creativity is there even in politics. strong politicians have qualities of great thinkers,

[prinzeugenvonsavoyen]

It would have been a better video without showing Hitler, Goebbels, Eicke, Himmler and Heydrich. They had nothing to do do with great fighting qualities of all branches of the Wehrmacht during the war.
