Germans of the Third Reich

I'm tired of people always hating the Germans in WWII and placing them all into one category..
Every country has had its bad times and Germany is no different, but not Every. Single. German. Killed. The. Jews. In. WWII. They wasn't monsters. They were human.
Sure there was bad people in the Third Reich- I'm not ignoring that, but there was bad people in every country.
If you want to see what SOME of the soldier did search atrocities of WWII

I'm not ignoring the holocaust but not all these people was involved with the holocaust! They was soldiers.

Some were really bad- I am NOT ignoring that.
I am NOT saying they was all innocent. I am saying not ALL was guilty.

I truly applaud you for making this. Even today, students of German origin are accused of being part of the Nazi party ( I was one of them ) and to see that there are people that still think of the men and women during WW2 as human is inspiring.

@CamilliaTepes I have people say "OHH I'M PART GERMAN, AND IN MY HISTORY I WAS SOMEHOW RELATED TO HITLER!" And they would spend days trying to convince me of it. :\ It's sickening. And so stupid. There is a man where I live that was in the Hitler Youth.. He gets harassed here by teenagers. It's so horrible how people get treat like that.

As I revisit this video and recommend it to all my friends... I have another comment to add. it's about honor/respect for the brave soldiers who lived and died in their uniforms, no matter whose side they're on. they're all humans. Nazism, communism, socialism, democracy... they're all strictly politics and had nothing to do with those who strapped on their helmets and loaded their rifles. Those poor souls are simply at the mercy of all the political crap that causes such turmoil in this world.

it looks like i am one of the few ,but really? after 10 jears of nazi propaganda i would like you to find a German which isn't affected by Nazism and its lies ! these people where of course people , but still believing in nazism and that what it stood for .i am dutch and remember the holocaust ,the 5 jears of occupation and all the rest !! i would like you to remember the same .the Germans where people like us thru the entire world history ,but does it make them look better or us worse? ...

Bei den deutschen Soldaten die in so großer Zahl starben, kommt es mir kaum auf die Uniform an und nicht einmal auf die Ideen, die ihren Geist bestimmten. Sie hatten Mut – sie waren in diesem Sturm losmarschiert unter Einsatz ihres Lebens und haben den Verlust ihres Lebens für eine schlechte Sache hingenommen. Aber wie sie es taten hat mit dieser Sache nichts zu tun. Es waren Menschen die ihr Vaterland liebten – dessen muss man sich gewahr werden.“

Really quite sad. I mean Hollywood wants us to belive Germans were evil, and that it was okay to kill them. But they were people all the same.

@threemillionrivets fuck off

[ruski1945]

@Blitzfrau Us Russia are spoonfed of how evil the Germans are and what they did to our country and people but seing this kinda changed things. They werent all evil.

The sad thing is people think Nazi Soliders Killed Jewish people but really they didn't they put them in camps but people thinks that different then the Japensess (Spelling?) being put into camps they don't think about the United States how many people they killed but they only think Nazi Germany is the worst.

[Hunter54811]

@stonem001 What about the United States they killed so much more people then Nazi Germany?

[Hunter54811]

@Blitzfrau Hey I hate when people think "All German people are Nazis" but they don't look at their own country, example United States how many times have the United States killed lots and lots of people? It makes me mad.
