Men of Honor

This is a tribute to the men of the anti-Hitler resistance in Nazi Germany---particularly those who took part of the July 20, 1944 attempt on Hitler's life.

Was it April 20th or July 20th? I'm getting up in years and the memory banks sometimes fail me. Whatever day it was, a few minutes of silence across Germany should be observed. My apologies for getting the date wrong. I meant well. The German Resistance and the brave souls who hid Jews will receive their reward in Heaven one day. The resurgence of Nazi propaganda is evident on the internet. It disturbs me greatly. The die hard Nazi's fed the big lie to their children. That's all I can figure.

@pmoyer50 It was 20 July 1944. There are neo-Nazis in Germany and the US but their influence is still minimal. Youtube is an open forum so there are plenty of moronic Nazi lovefests going on. I lived in Bamberg where Stauffenberg first started his military career. The Bavarians are conservative and were bothered that he and others revolted against the government in time of war. However, most understand it was a necessity.

Could you post the names of all the resistance members whom you've posted pictures of?

[rexlibris99]

I originally intended to put the names on each picture but they turned out poorly---that is how I mistakenly left out Beck and von Witzleben. I am working on that and will add them when I am finished. It is obviously a long list.

Why do you put on this video General Von Paulus between pictures of killing jews? This is a big mistake from you.General Von Paulus was the general ("mariscal de campo" in spanish.I don´t Know how it says in english) of the 6th Army in Stalingrad.I have studied his live and he was a militar not a criminal.However I like your video.

[rexlibris99]

Von Paulus wasn't evil and neither were the British soldiers that follow him. They were put there to show the collapse of the Nazi forces.

I honor these men and the ultimate sacrifice they made.

Meine Hochachtung an diese Menschen. Sie haben im Angesicht des Totalitarismus laut "Nein!" gesagt. Es gibt kein größeres Opfer, welches man für die Freiheit bringen kann. Es sollte mehr davon geben...

Wie haben die Verpflichtung, all jene zu unterstützen, die auch heute noch für ihre Freiheit und Demokratie kämpfen!

This video did these good me justice but I could only identify Staffenburg. I have to wonder though, whyt did you put the pictures of hitler and his inner circle. Please foregive me but at first I thought this was a neo nazi video (I hate neo nazis and I am sure you do too). This was a great video but I got confused at first

[PoliticalPars]

@ladycplum Thumbs up from me, too, for identifying the men in the photos. Remer I believe was neither pro- or anti- but a man who took orders; and certainly betrayed the Stauffenberg crowd on the 20th.

[PoliticalPars]

@pmoyer50 On the anniversary, 20 July, there are two memorial services for the members of the anti-Nazi regime--One at the place of Stauffenberg's execution.
