@extere Well, it's important to be aware that there is a fairly limited amount of film and photographs available, and people use the material that is available rather freely, so that for instance images of Jews and Russians being shot in Russia by Einsatzgruppen turn up illustrating films of concentration camps.

When material is mis-used in this way it calls into question the credibility of the presentation.

@christof139 the poles had a chance to teem up with hitler. there were talks before the war to go for russia together. they refused. big mistake

@JimTLonW6 who cares what the picture is

[JimTLonW6]

I wouldn't want to quibble, BUT, the pic at 1:09 isn't Stalingrad, or even Russia, it's East London and the straight railway line runs from London Bridge to Greenwich and the South-Eastern suburbs. The date would be 1940.

@MrBEB123, The Nazis exterminated 20-25% or more of the Polish populace, the highest %tage of any nation in WWII & butchered millions in the USSR. The Nazis intent was to carve-up Poland & the USSR to exploit their resources & use the populace as slave laborers & detroy their culture. Nationalism exists in many forms & the Nazi version was rotten.

@MrBEB123 This is flying in the face of history.

German plans for the USSR are well enough documented to be sure that the intention was to enslave the population and expropriate the USSR's resources. It was also intended to destroy its culture as is only too clear from German actions in occupied areas. I suggest you read some serious history of German intentions and actions.
