Prabhupada : In this European portion of the world, they are... We have experienced two big wars, and still, the war cloud is always there. Not only here, everywhere. So this materialistic civilization, actually people are not very happy. And as I have told you that people are going to live underground next hundred years. That means they'll lose this freedom of living in the free air for fear of this atomic attack. That is predicted in the World Almanac. We have seen, that people are going to live under. They'll... Sometimes they will come out to have fresh air in the surface. Otherwise, they will have to live underground.
So actually we are, by advancing this materialistic way of life, for the time being we may feel happy, but we do not know how much risk we are taking in our life. That science is not yet discussed. That science is described in the Bhagavad-gita that if you hear also, we have begun, that this life is not meant for simply sense gratification with hard labor. No. This life is meant for restraining. Restraining. Tapa. We have to restrain our business of sense gratification. Without restraining our business of sense gratification, it is not possible to make ourselves liberated. That is not possible. This is entanglement. Sat-sanga chadi' kainu asate vilas. If people give up the association of this Krsna consciousness society and they simply indulge in the sense gratificatory process, then more and more they'll be entangled. Sat-sanga chadi' kainu asate vilas, te-karane lagila ye karma-bandha-phans. People are now entangled in hard working. Actually, human life should be very easy, very easy. No hard work. Living very simple life and eating very healthy food, living in open space, no quarrel, no antagonism, everyone is happy, everyone is free. That is human civilization. Not to become entangled. But at the present moment we have become entangled. So Rsabhadeva says that mahat-sevam dvaram ahur vimukteh. If we actually want liberation from this entanglement, then we should associate with mahatmas, great souls. And who is a great soul? That is being described.

Italians and Germans lost the war!!!!! Italy's battle glory? WTF

[wtficantgetausername]

fuck the info box is hilarious!!! but its probably translated by google

[Kojak0]

A) What in heavens name is the crazy in the info box?

B) I think most of the "fighting" here is actually training footage, and not much of it either.

C) The video sucks, because it misses a lot of points: it wasn't Hitler who wanted to go to North Africa - he was helping his clumsy ally Italy there; most of the fighting in North Africa was omitted, even the American part, and of course, Kasserine Pass was not even mentioneed...

Its not good just because it is in color.

@1963Austria Germany simply didn't focused in attacking the UK, they invaded their main ally and supplier, the Soviet Union!! (Of course these invasions were madness, there was a high price to pay in human losses and suffering!!)

[1963Austria]

@KronprinzAdam If German hadn't of invaded Russia....things would have been much different. Before the US landed troops on the west coast, they didn't mention how long the Brits had fought Germany. One small country, versus France, Britain, Russia, US.....something to think about..

[FGalaxie]

@htfagarvey Italians and Germans kickes ass at Kasserine pass.

Forza Italia.

[Capitancanguro1]

This video is the most stupid video i ever watched,it doesn't mention the Italians that were the majority of the axis in Africa.

[KronprinzAdam]

@KronprinzAdam They concluded "amis" (americans) were inferior troops, but with curious equipment and accesories, and they could be beaten anytime. They also failed to exploit their initial victory. This was a big mistake, because allied troops increased in number, machinery and fuel and overwhelmed the axis in the Mediterranean and the Western Front. Germans just could divert there some divisions and leftovers from the Russian Front.

[KronprinzAdam]

@htfagarvey American troops were beaten there, they were fresh troops, leadership was not the best one (the leader wasn't Bradley, Patton or Patch, just some other guy), and they faced very experienced axis troops. So, it was a defeat, but american generals analyzed the defeat and concluded that they had to improve their fight strategies, the coordination with aircraft and improve guns and tanks. Germans concluded quite the opposite: they just concluded that they were facing inferior troops.
