“Things got out of hand” made me laugh, quite an understatement

I could tell you how my grandfather died in Aushwitz if anyone cares?

Good man.

Have to say, I appreciate how you gave Mr. Mayrock the leeway to talk about how he built his life after the war. That small part was very important.

Jesus Christ takes this guy forever to say anything

Interesting

Moved to South America after the war...must of followed the rest of the hardcore Nazis. rest in piss old man.

Great man. God Bless.

Such an amazing story!

I wonder if we are related. My Grandfather was a Shelato from Illinois area. Name spelled the same way. Not very common name.

The interviewer is an utter dork ! The interviewee is a very sharp man.

This is one smart man with a great memory! Glad he was on our side! Thank you sir! 🪖🇺🇲✈️🎖️

My name is Regnars Varpins.... I remember you.. Califonia.... This re special for mr.

Thank you for your service Justin.

Well done. Thanks for posting

Awesome!!

They were right about everything

I was born on May 26th, 1971

I know this is old, but it's excellent and his English is very good. Where I live in Indiana about 20 minutes drive there was a POW camp for Germans and Italians. Many women dated the German prisoners because our men were in Europe. A few Germans ended up staying and I met one who was in the Luftwaffe and then became an American citizen and joined the US Army and fought in the Korean war. I worked for a woman that owned a diner and her name was Ute and her father died in Russia and they never got him back. They didn't know what happened to him. This was during the war and not afterwards. He went missing and just never came back. Poor woman. I loved her. Great interview. Outstanding. ❤

What an interview.

I really enjoyed Pinkston. The interviewer was poor. His questions were ill timed and frequently off point. The interviewer didn’t listen to Pinkston - he simply went with his questions despite the great responses he got. I stopped listening because the interviewer fumbled so badly. Pinkston had a lot to say.

My grandfather also landed in the 3rd wave on Omaha beach with the 7th Naval beach battalion at the same time this gentleman did. He was a radio operator (not sure what exact rank/description that would be) who relayed messages back to the ships. He said that their landing craft got hung up on some underwater obstruction off shore and the driver had to stop there and drop the ramp in water that was over their heads. My grandfather jumped in with his heavy radio gear that dragged him to the bottom and he had to wriggle free of it and swim to shore. Later they hooked him up with a new radio set so he could do his job. He also said that every time he'd transmit he'd have to leave pretty quickly because the Germans would use radio direction finders to zero in and start lobbing shells at that location. Not sure on the details of that because he didn't talk about it much and he died in the 90s when I was younger.

8n 10 years, only a couple left

Had the privilege to meet him today blessed for people like Him thank you!! 🙏

I am happy with the conviction. I'm so tired of this. I remember ENRON and the 2008 financial crisis and the Iraq war. I have suffered greatly because of people like this. Ex-Mormin DMC

19:57 Stalin's last demands in Berlin on Nov. 12, 1940 to establish communism in Europe. Molotov appeared in Berlin with tough demands that amounted to bringing Scandinavia and the Balkans under Soviet influence and thus not only to gain exits to the North Sea and the Mediterranean. Germany should support a 2nd Soviet war on Finland. Sweden, Denmark, Bulgaria, Turkish coast, Romania (Germany's ally and oil supplier) Hungary, Yugoslavia, the Balkans should be declared a Soviet zone or occupied by the Red Army. Hitler saw this as an encirclement of the west .Molotov had named the price of the August 23, 1939 Soviet pact. After Molotov's departure, the German Foreign Office telegraphed the Kremlin in Moscow, which once again confirmed the unbelievable demands .Four weeks after Molotov's visit, Hitler issued "Instruction No. 21" Barbarossa case

What a distinguished gentleman. Someone is very lucky to have him in your family.

Stan is a hero of our family! A true, accomplished patriot and a wonderful person.

First off , this is one damn fine brother . Sounds like the 82nd did things differently than us . I learned some things by listening to Hollis . Even though I ended my time in RVN with some 75th folks who were all AB . I thought all AB training was done at Fort B . Also , even though I left out of Ft . Lewis , and also did my RVN training there . I didn't know they had 11B AIT there . Sounds like Hollis and I did some of the same AO's at different times in lll Corp . Welcome Home brother . Stay strong , there are less of us by the day ... doc 68-71

When he talked about the red cross badge and picking up fallen GI's.... "it was a soldiers job"....

As per my registered nurse training through psychiatry I experience and took part of assisting with insulin chock on hot was on 1960

The interview is a amazing. The birds in the background is so great for something like this.

German veterans should be heard more so than any others at this point because most people have a one sided viewing of history from allied perspective and dont understand the truth from those who were there on the German side

Quite the storyteller!!! Thank you for your service, Sir, and welcome home.

How quickly generational vernaculars change. That question about what a goldbricker is was as revealing as when they were asking that Kraut Spy about Li’l Abner, if in fact the interviewer really did not know. I realize that for the benefit of future Generation’s these question’s are necessary and the meaning’s fully explained. I was born in 1957 a second Generation American exposed to the slang / vernacular of much older relatives many of whom often used terms and nicknames from their native Italian , Portuguese, Slavonian and German. Anyone who grew up watching old films like A Walk in the Sun , Guadalcanal Diary and many more of those classic’s or watched The Three Stooges and Bowery Boy’s will have a pretty good understanding. By the time Of the Sponge Bob Generation many of those old terms are lost on them. Terms like Sponge, leech or Let Me Bum a Smoke off Ya. Strega in Italian means witch but was often used to label a girl of low moral virtue also synonymous with Gold Digger, slut, high stepper or other’s who use men for personal advancement. A guy like the officer who coveted Haviland’s Wife would be called a limberdick or referred to as thinking He was God’s gift to women , some kinda Adonis , can’t keep it in his pants , a succor for the women aka mufa for the women or mufarata ( terms not found in Italian dictionaries. There are so many more. You can easily say that anyone not familiar with them was “ still sitting behind their daddy’s nuts “ when those terms were in popular usage.

Happy 100th Birthday Cash!

I am glad you left everything in his story! Enjoyed every bit.

The Iron Cross 2nd Class was not necessarily awarded for one act. As with this gentleman, it could be awarded for meritorious service in combat for a period of time.

No remorse, no reflections, no regrets...?

OMG! Phone call left in! 😂

Korean war veterans should be recognized more now adays and the history of that conflict that plays a major role in the world today.

Thank you for your service, SGT Lubbers!

Welcome home soldier. Thanks for your service. 100% disagree with him gun magazine stance...

We desperately need more German veteran interviews.

Great interview you give this gentleman enough time to answer and explain your questions. 👏👏👏

It’s amazing he was able to tell his story

What a woman! What a beautiful person. A proud, strong, determined, capable, patriotic, independent and charming woman who made the best of whatever opportunity was available with no complaints. I wish I could be her neighbor. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
