Germany Gives Up!; Nazis Rise & Fall 1945/05/08

1) Truman Announces Germany's surrender - "President Truman officially proclaims V-E Day, as Germany submits her unconditional surrender to Gen. Eisenhower's headquarters in Reims."
2) [silent with some sporadic sound] Rise and Fall of the Nazis - "Militant Germany is shown on the march against Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland. The rush of the Panzer divisions through the Lowlands causing the downfall of France, the humiliating British retreat from the beaches of Dunkirk, the terrible air blitzes on London, the advance on Moscow, all these slashing moves portray the power-crazed Hitler and his Nazi cohorts in the full prime of their conquests and glory. Pearl Harbor precipitates America into the global conflicts. Lend-Lease aid bolsters the Allies until D-Day! From that time on German power spirals downward. Her factories are laid waste, her railways are destroyed, her Luftwaffe is driven from the skies, and her troops are captured by the hundreds of thousands. The Nazi banner is struck to earth, nevermore to fly again in a world of peace loving nations." scenes of Hitler and Nazis 1933-1945. (complete newsreel)

[Perversus666]

dokontra are you REALLY fucking stupid ?

did you ever heard of the french, belgian, polish resistance ? every country had resistants and collaborators.

lots of russians collaborated too. occupied russia had many divisions who fought along with the germans against the soviets, some being nazi fanatics.

and if i'm not mistaken finland had a pro-german government after the war of 39-40 with USSR

I Thought the Germans were Superior ?

Here something happened what the Munich students and antifascists Hans and Sophie Scholl already knew in 1943, that Hitler can't win the war and the Allies would stop the war. And that the new Germany must be federalist.

@liamjordan2297 erm who say that? You clearly can't read very well, or type for that matter, and you know little to none of the history. Germany (Hitler) abandoned the invasion of Britain because they needed all the military in the invasion of russia

@RagingBubuli i just like hitlers way..........wish i would have lived with him.........



[Bencd1]

@freshoffthaspot i disagree

[youknowyoureright91]

@josh71111 yea, it's actually a sad thought to think of the world if they would have won.

I kind of picture it as a Star Wars kind of thing, with the rebels vs the empire. You'd have all these people with a rebellion and the big Germany.

plus what ruler could have taken over after Hitler that could have followed in his footsteps? it just seems like it would have fallen apart eventually

Adolf Hitler is Crazy

I love Germany its beauty and determination,the character of the people is strong ,kind and determined.
