Very accurate actually. My great grand uncle deserted during WW2. Before he and his troops deserted, he reportedly killed the SS officer accompanying him. The story got retold and added to by his friends and the American officer he surrendered to. 60 years later the story O got when I visited my cousin in Tulsa was “ He decapitated the SS officers that had accompanied his platoon and offered the heads to the Americans” my cousin was very surprised that the actual story was more along the lines of “Wehrmacht officer stabs SS officer, steals his watch and cigarettes and talks his friends into surrendering to the Americans, because the British intelligence service told him, that he should drop his cover and go to the Americans” (yeah, turned out he was a British spy.)
@@lordinquisitor6651 I guess that's quite similar to this video skit: I figured the orange hair lad was wanting to surrender because he wasn't actually German, and likely a spy who had ended up getting to the rank of officer.
I had the very fortunate opportunity to speak with a German soldier who was taken as a POW early in WW2. He was of course at a very advanced age when I met him, and I have nothing but excellent opinions of his character, his family, and his lifetime of work. When I asked him about his war experienced, he had only one thing to say. "They lied to us." I think of that statement frequently.
If it weren't for the the Germs, my bloodline would have ended in 1941. My granddad was 8 when war broke out, this one time he dragged his canoe to the Grevelingen (a former inland part of the sea, now a brakkish lake dyked off from the sea). That afternoon however a rainstorm hit while my 8 y/o granddad was still out and about, pushing the canoe into the open water away from the shore. His boat was taking water, and he was drifting away farther from the shore. The waves rising so high it didn't took long before the shoreline wasn't visible anymore, he thought he was doomed. It was then he saw lights slowly closing on his position, it was a German patrol boat. Some long coated fella yanked him out of the water on the patrolboats deck. I dont know what dialogue transpired on that ship, but when they reached the safety of the shorelines the longcoat fella told granddad to spread the good word (AKA: Tell everyone the Germs saved your ass). Rebels were still fighting here and there, so the Germs could use some positive propaganda. Second time the Germs saved his hide was when rebels (verzetsstrrijders) ambushed some German patrols when he was biking home after buying milk, the kid landed in a crossfire on a countryroad with no real cover nearby. Some Germ dragged him in a ditch out of the line of fire. Atleast that time one could argue that if the Germs woudn't have been there, there would have been no shootout so he wouldn't need saving anyway....The Grevelingen situation however...Granddad was stubborn AF, he would have gone conoeing that fatefull day, one way or the other. In a parallel universe I wouldn't have existed. Not saying the Axis were even close to being right, but on an individual level there were some very fine men serving and doing their part.
6:30 ouch that hurts, because you're completely right. We're still depending on Germany's tanks because the government sold our only tanks a couple years ago.
Now here's the historically accurate version: "Hans, Buenos Aires is beautiful in August, ja?" "Ja, Willi! If only we would find work here, like in a Mercedes-Benz factory!" ENDE
Rat lines... In about 450 years we can expect an apology from the catholic church about that. Well, maybe Cool Pope will clean up with that as well,...maybe.
I really, really enjoy the interactions between the absolute nutcase SS officer and the normal Wehrmacht officer just trying to enjoy his last few minutes in peace.
@Miuziiiijke Well what you say isn't disputable. But what he was referring to is, and I am sure you have noticed this, there has been a huge tendency especially in recent years where Nazi Germany has been assessed in an extremely ignorant black and white way: the "evil murderous" SS and the "Righteous honourable" Wehrmacht. It's a myth that has been cultivated since the war ended and although it has fallen flat on its arse from research and testimonies, it is still widely believed.
@Miuziiiijke You know your stuff. It's quite scary when you hop onto the comment section of any WWII video and you see those certain types of people that say something along the lines of "Most Germans did not believe in Nazism" or how the wehrmacht was just fighting the war and hated the SS. It's as ignorant and misinforming as the myth of 'all Germans were bad' itself. I feel their intentions are good but when spreading ignorance that would be made redundant with the quickest search on Google, people like that need to take more responsibility. Goebbels himself said that the bigger the lie and the more often you tell it, the more people will start to believe it.
The wardrobe and sets are so accurate and authentic that I’m pretty convinced that you guys actually go back in time to make these brilliant sketches. 😃
Squire, you deserve more likes and subs and views. My favourite video was the "The war thunder experience". Please make a part 4. You should make it about ships.
The Allgemeine SS maybe. Not the Waffen SS (combat SS). Although the guy in the video is a panzer crew uniform from the regular armour divisions. Not an SS uniform.
@@JonathanWrightZA now I can see why this may be because of the skulls on the collar but there are a few difference in the uniform and that is there is no red piping to the uniform on the collar and the front of the jacket is that of a different buttons then that of a panzer uniform and more closey to the SS Now not saying the waffen SS never saw combat but they were SS let’s not forget.
The were armed. There were whole divisions equipped with tanks and everything, often more up to date equipment then the army. I think they got tigers and king tigers first. The waffen (armed) ss were technically not part of the wermacht and more Hitler's private millita. They were closer to a wermacht unit then the others but still ss. They weren't just Gestapo and the camp runners or body guards. They were right through the entire government/ millitary construct of the Reich. Especially after the staufenburg plot. He started to think the whole millitary was out to get him so gave the ss even more power and influence. They also armed foreign troops because they had recruitment restrictions forced on them by the wermacht and it was an easy way to get around them.
@@canadianloyalist5491 Your comment was hearted/liked before I commented. In this case, the lapel patches dictate the uniform. The Waffen SS used lightening bolt and diamond runes on the lapels, and the Totenkopf (death head) was kept for the hats (across the SS as a whole). Panzer uniforms used a single skull on each lapel. The overall uniform here is also more reminiscent of a mechanic jumpsuit, which panzer crew were. Its a humorous video, and very good one at that, so I'm really just nitpicking. Historical accuracy is not necessarily strived for, as much as I think they do try a reasonable effort. To your last comment, many of the Waffen SS most certainly saw combat alongside regular Heer infantry. As did the SS Panzer brigades. The Allgemeine SS were the bureaucrats and concentration/deathly camp guards. Regardless, both were part of the same criminal organisation.
The black uniform is actually not an SS Uniform but a Panzer (Tank) troop Uniform. They both had the Skulls. Ironically the Soviets confused both aswell... and thus shot all Captured Tank troops, assuming they where SS.
I believe the SS uniforms were black before the war but that was gradually phased out. I'm not particular on Nazi uniforms, but the materials are out there.
It's funny how ww2 is basically dps with multiple supports (germany with Romania oil, Italian navy, Finnish northern support, hungarian... something) vs a balanced team (weapons guy US, intelligence and air supremacy brittain and pure muscle USSr) And in the end, no matter how hard you carry, your back will (battle of Britain) eventually (stalingrad) break (kursk)
@@thatonejoey1847 Amongst other things, the dps lagged hard when it mattered and after he took a gambit he had next to no chance of working. It also didn't help that he needed to bail that one support(Italy) who try-harded and failed.
My great uncle was "Luftwaffe" during WWII. At least that's what that side of the family tells. When the end was near he had his family destroy all records and photos of him and then he ended himself. My great grand mother (his sister who had left Germany after WWI) had the only surviving photo of him. I saw it once. He was a low ranking army officer who jumped on the Nazi party bandwagon too late to significantly advance his career. What I have is two decades of postcards my great grandmother received from her family in the old country. Quite telling that in the years prior to WWII the rise of the Nazis was not discussed as a matter of ideology, but as a division of loot. Great uncle Otto got a promotion and a transfer to an influential position, it would be so much more money than before, and they would be getting a car and a house and vacations at the sea when the government redistributed the nation's stolen wealth. The promise of spoils is why they supported the Nazis. Of course the high ranking Nazis redistributed everything they stole to themselves. By the end everyone knew they'd been conned. Never believe the "we didn't know what was happening" lie. People knew, but because they saw others getting rich they kept their mouths shut hoping to get some of the "redistributed" wealth for themselves.
My great uncle was in the "Luftwaffe" too. A pilot. "Went missing" over Russia. I still have some of his teaching handbooks (one about the technics of planes and one about foreign plane identification). He allegedly turned down an offer to join the SS but I did some digging into the ideology of the Luftwaffe and mindset of the average pilot which makes me believe that his decision likely wasn't ideologically motivated.
My ex gf's grandfather was part of a tank crew on the eastern front during WW2 and was nearly shot when they were captured because the russians thought their black uniforms were SS. (I mean he was a nazi and all, but not *that* nazi, you know?) He made it home after some years in gulag.
Likewise valuable Nazis (not from camps and party leadership), Soviet collaborators and those Japanese motherfuckers from unit 731. Operation Paperclip: no matter what sick shit you've done to Jews, Gypsies, Slavs and Chinese, if you're useful against the Commies, welcome to the American Dream!

It is always a great day when I see a new Squire video at the top of my YT list. I wish there was another level of YT Alert above the "All" Bell.

Hahah, thanks mate!
you could say tall fella wasn't dead OR accurate lol
Found footage. Colorized obviously. Fluent in english. Probably spies.
Very accurate actually. My great grand uncle deserted during WW2. Before he and his troops deserted, he reportedly killed the SS officer accompanying him. The story got retold and added to by his friends and the American officer he surrendered to. 60 years later the story O got when I visited my cousin in Tulsa was “ He decapitated the SS officers that had accompanied his platoon and offered the heads to the Americans” my cousin was very surprised that the actual story was more along the lines of “Wehrmacht officer stabs SS officer, steals his watch and cigarettes and talks his friends into surrendering to the Americans, because the British intelligence service told him, that he should drop his cover and go to the Americans” (yeah, turned out he was a British spy.)
@@lordinquisitor6651 I guess that's quite similar to this video skit: I figured the orange hair lad was wanting to surrender because he wasn't actually German, and likely a spy who had ended up getting to the rank of officer.

Suicide Hotlilne: Suicide is never the answer
Germans in 1945: Suicide is the only option
Suicide or being useful to the Americans.
almost like every german soldier on those years believed that following the Fuhrer even to hell is better than surrendering
Well i suppose its quicker then suicide by Russian gun fire.
well they were never gonna get a cushy get out of jail free card like the japanese got.
@@geroutathat Unless they were some sort of rocket scientist. Then they got recruited for weapons dev and eventual NASA work.
I had the very fortunate opportunity to speak with a German soldier who was taken as a POW early in WW2. He was of course at a very advanced age when I met him, and I have nothing but excellent opinions of his character, his family, and his lifetime of work.
When I asked him about his war experienced, he had only one thing to say.
"They lied to us."
I think of that statement frequently.
Well, is he ok now?
@@LeHunter70 All of the WW2 survivors I've met have passed on now.
He is a liar, he knew what was going on, he wasnt naive, he commited war crimes
If it weren't for the the Germs, my bloodline would have ended in 1941.
My granddad was 8 when war broke out, this one time he dragged his canoe to the Grevelingen (a former inland part of the sea, now a brakkish lake dyked off from the sea). That afternoon however a rainstorm hit while my 8 y/o granddad was still out and about, pushing the canoe into the open water away from the shore. His boat was taking water, and he was drifting away farther from the shore. The waves rising so high it didn't took long before the shoreline wasn't visible anymore, he thought he was doomed. It was then he saw lights slowly closing on his position, it was a German patrol boat. Some long coated fella yanked him out of the water on the patrolboats deck. I dont know what dialogue transpired on that ship, but when they reached the safety of the shorelines the longcoat fella told granddad to spread the good word (AKA: Tell everyone the Germs saved your ass). Rebels were still fighting here and there, so the Germs could use some positive propaganda. Second time the Germs saved his hide was when rebels (verzetsstrrijders) ambushed some German patrols when he was biking home after buying milk, the kid landed in a crossfire on a countryroad with no real cover nearby. Some Germ dragged him in a ditch out of the line of fire. Atleast that time one could argue that if the Germs woudn't have been there, there would have been no shootout so he wouldn't need saving anyway....The Grevelingen situation however...Granddad was stubborn AF, he would have gone conoeing that fatefull day, one way or the other. In a parallel universe I wouldn't have existed.
Not saying the Axis were even close to being right, but on an individual level there were some very fine men serving and doing their part.
...AND YOU BELIEVED THEM-(!)
Well done lads! Best transition into an advert yet!

I really, really enjoy the interactions between the absolute nutcase SS officer and the normal Wehrmacht officer just trying to enjoy his last few minutes in peace.
He's a russian spy though
Ah, I see the "myth of the clean Wehrmacht" is still kicking
@@rq4740 I see wartime propaganda from 70+ years ago is still effective
@Miuziiiijke Well what you say isn't disputable. But what he was referring to is, and I am sure you have noticed this, there has been a huge tendency especially in recent years where Nazi Germany has been assessed in an extremely ignorant black and white way: the "evil murderous" SS and the "Righteous honourable" Wehrmacht. It's a myth that has been cultivated since the war ended and although it has fallen flat on its arse from research and testimonies, it is still widely believed.
@Miuziiiijke You know your stuff. It's quite scary when you hop onto the comment section of any WWII video and you see those certain types of people that say something along the lines of "Most Germans did not believe in Nazism" or how the wehrmacht was just fighting the war and hated the SS. It's as ignorant and misinforming as the myth of 'all Germans were bad' itself.
I feel their intentions are good but when spreading ignorance that would be made redundant with the quickest search on Google, people like that need to take more responsibility. Goebbels himself said that the bigger the lie and the more often you tell it, the more people will start to believe it.
I really prefer these realistic skits instead of the war thunder ones I think these are more funny that's just what I think

😃
2:20 made me crylaugh. This is comedic gold.
"I'm holding the bunker!" "What, in suspense?" That was my favorite
Squire, you deserve more likes and subs and views. My favourite video was the "The war thunder experience". Please make a part 4. You should make it about ships.
No one has the experience because no one plays naval in WT
@@tetraxis3011 Not really, I sometimes play battleships and there's always a sever to hop into.
I love how the SS Officer ducks and the military officer doesn’t shows that the SS were just mere paper pushers.
The Allgemeine SS maybe. Not the Waffen SS (combat SS).
Although the guy in the video is a panzer crew uniform from the regular armour divisions. Not an SS uniform.
@@JonathanWrightZA now I can see why this may be because of the skulls on the collar but there are a few difference in the uniform and that is there is no red piping to the uniform on the collar and the front of the jacket is that of a different buttons then that of a panzer uniform and more closey to the SS
Now not saying the waffen SS never saw combat but they were SS let’s not forget.
As well the creator hearted my post so i think I am right unless he comments
The were armed. There were whole divisions equipped with tanks and everything, often more up to date equipment then the army. I think they got tigers and king tigers first. The waffen (armed) ss were technically not part of the wermacht and more Hitler's private millita. They were closer to a wermacht unit then the others but still ss. They weren't just Gestapo and the camp runners or body guards. They were right through the entire government/ millitary construct of the Reich. Especially after the staufenburg plot. He started to think the whole millitary was out to get him so gave the ss even more power and influence. They also armed foreign troops because they had recruitment restrictions forced on them by the wermacht and it was an easy way to get around them.
@@canadianloyalist5491 Your comment was hearted/liked before I commented.
In this case, the lapel patches dictate the uniform. The Waffen SS used lightening bolt and diamond runes on the lapels, and the Totenkopf (death head) was kept for the hats (across the SS as a whole).
Panzer uniforms used a single skull on each lapel. The overall uniform here is also more reminiscent of a mechanic jumpsuit, which panzer crew were.
Its a humorous video, and very good one at that, so I'm really just nitpicking. Historical accuracy is not necessarily strived for, as much as I think they do try a reasonable effort. To your last comment, many of the Waffen SS most certainly saw combat alongside regular Heer infantry. As did the SS Panzer brigades. The Allgemeine SS were the bureaucrats and concentration/deathly camp guards. Regardless, both were part of the same criminal organisation.
When the Russian soldier came in after they put on the blindfold, it took me a moment to realise it WAS a Russian and not their fellow officer.
This is too funny. You guys are brilliant.
"Aryan skulls are very thick!"
"Oh, yes, I've heard, they're the thickest!"
Lmfao A++ My dudes
happy hannukah
Aria kommen aus dem 🇮🇷 Iran!
The black uniform is actually not an SS Uniform but a Panzer (Tank) troop Uniform. They both had the Skulls. Ironically the Soviets confused both aswell... and thus shot all Captured Tank troops, assuming they where SS.
Not all (not even all SS were killed), it depends a bit on context
But the tank uniform is buttoned to the side, not in the middle, if I am not mistaken.
I believe the SS uniforms were black before the war but that was gradually phased out. I'm not particular on Nazi uniforms, but the materials are out there.
Better safe than sorry.
@@brianmead7556 the black ones for ceremonial or like, non-combat stuff. Whereas the feldgrau ones where worn in combat from the outset of the war.
ah yes.. 1945, a great time to play chess while also losing a war
It's funny how ww2 is basically dps with multiple supports (germany with Romania oil, Italian navy, Finnish northern support, hungarian... something) vs a balanced team (weapons guy US, intelligence and air supremacy brittain and pure muscle USSr)
And in the end, no matter how hard you carry, your back will (battle of Britain) eventually (stalingrad) break (kursk)
@@thatonejoey1847 Amongst other things, the dps lagged hard when it mattered and after he took a gambit he had next to no chance of working. It also didn't help that he needed to bail that one support(Italy) who try-harded and failed.

I love the way you placed the ad thank you
Squire, I would love it if you did some skits about Verdun. Some British soldiers chilling in Fort Douaumont would be funny.
My great uncle was "Luftwaffe" during WWII. At least that's what that side of the family tells. When the end was near he had his family destroy all records and photos of him and then he ended himself. My great grand mother (his sister who had left Germany after WWI) had the only surviving photo of him. I saw it once. He was a low ranking army officer who jumped on the Nazi party bandwagon too late to significantly advance his career. What I have is two decades of postcards my great grandmother received from her family in the old country. Quite telling that in the years prior to WWII the rise of the Nazis was not discussed as a matter of ideology, but as a division of loot. Great uncle Otto got a promotion and a transfer to an influential position, it would be so much more money than before, and they would be getting a car and a house and vacations at the sea when the government redistributed the nation's stolen wealth. The promise of spoils is why they supported the Nazis. Of course the high ranking Nazis redistributed everything they stole to themselves. By the end everyone knew they'd been conned. Never believe the "we didn't know what was happening" lie. People knew, but because they saw others getting rich they kept their mouths shut hoping to get some of the "redistributed" wealth for themselves.
My great uncle was in the "Luftwaffe" too. A pilot. "Went missing" over Russia.
I still have some of his teaching handbooks (one about the technics of planes and one about foreign plane identification).
He allegedly turned down an offer to join the SS but I did some digging into the ideology of the Luftwaffe and mindset of the average pilot which makes me believe that his decision likely wasn't ideologically motivated.
this sounds oddly familiar.....
My ex gf's grandfather was part of a tank crew on the eastern front during WW2 and was nearly shot when they were captured because the russians thought their black uniforms were SS. (I mean he was a nazi and all, but not *that* nazi, you know?)
He made it home after some years in gulag.
Really makes you think about people that advocate for redistributing wealth and power in the States, while calling anyone that calls them out nazis...
@@DeadBaron How the hell did you get that from what he wrote?

It is always a great day when I see a new Squire video at the top of my YT list. I wish there was another level of YT Alert above the "All" Bell. I would use it on a very, very select number of channels, probably fewer than 1 dozen. Squire would be one of those. Even Squire's adverts are funny...sometimes better than the actual content...LOL.
In a single video, Bill shoots Ollie twice: in the advert, then in the content. Hmmm...perhaps we need to explore how Bill REALLY feels about Olie.
