Thank you so much for this very important reminder. The famous 1970s "World at War" video series (narrated by Laurence Olivier) opens with a discussion of the events at Oradour sur Glane.
I remember watching it the first time and finally understanding what it meant for one's blood to run cold. I felt physically ill, and still do whenever I consider what took place there.
Thank you, I will try to watch it then! For me what is inimaginable is: knowing the trauma Oradour was for France, I cannot conceive hundreds of such events happened in the Eastern front. My brain just cannot process it
@@ToonStory-fh4gn I should like to second what this person says and add that I saw this when it aired.The opening scene of Oradour sur Glan is both poignant and terrific (in the old and true sense of the word). Sir Laurence's voice brings pathos and gravitas andhelps to make this one of the greatest documantary masterpieces of all time.In my opinion of course.Hope you got 25 hours to spare.
My God, I can't even find words to describe the feelings I have, the video of the everyday people on the street and tanks rolling by was surreal. The eight year old boy broke my heart, I cannot grasp how this evil could be done by a human being to another human, and even worse so many were involved, I pray for a peaceful world but also the strength both military and good people worldwide to ensure nothing like this ever happens again, never forget and never again
Thank you. This was also heartbreaking for me, but I think it is necessary to always remember.
Hey I love that you're doing your own content as well as reactions! There's really not enough french perspectives on a lot of history that really heavily involves the French, and much less Frenchman openly making videos to inform many of us like Americans who, like you said because of a single war has really changed how France is viewed
Thank you bro, yes it is very important to produce my own original content to share our history and offer our perspective. Peace ❤
Its so messed up when even some of the Nazis were horrified by this atrocity!
Less we forget!
Do you have plans to post more history videos on the historic anniversary date?
Its always crazy to me that stories like this actually exist throughout our history people always skim over this sort of topic good job covering it
In any case, I plan to produce a regular stream of original content, and anniversaries are good sources of inspiration and opportunities for commemoration. For example, we could talk about the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Paris this summer, and the same for other events in other eras. Thanks for your comment!
Heartbreaking, did not know about this, thank you for telling the story.
Thank you for this comment, yes it is awful
Truly shocking my friend..knew of this through a brother who lived close by..but, man..😢
Yes, that was not an easy video for me. Thank you
It always fascinates me how effective nazi propaganda was, in 1944 there is no hope for you to win, but you're so willing to commit such atrocities to a enemy that you know will remember everything you did. It's amazing how many were still willing to do such evil.
It is possible only when you do not longer consider other people as human beings...
Cher Seigneur, il n'est jamais facile de se souvenir de cette atrocité de la guerre. Imaginez les ouvriers revenant du travail à Limoges en tramway le soir et trouvant leurs familles, leurs enfants et leurs maisons détruits.
Merci. Oui, quelle horreur et que de vies brisées.
Good video! It's sad
Thank you man
"The execution perimeter was already established" ugh can you imagine needing to be on patrol knowing what is going on in the middle of that encirclement...
Some of the soldiers posted around the village where French from Alsace, enlisted in this division.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but by the end of the Normandy campaign, wasn’t the Das Reich almost completely destroyed?
Yes it was, Dieckmann was also killed there thus a lot of the criminals escaped justice
I know this is probably not the best video to post this on but, I always find it hilarious that the SS panzer divisions are always played up to be the “crème de la crème of the German military, but in reality, they had some of the lousiest combat performance (statistically) when compared to the Wehrmacht.
@@BradanKlauer-mn4mp Absolutely true. All the myths surrounding them were mostly propaganda. Many things to debunk about them but there were a lot of units run by a lot of Nazis and not by professional soldiers, and I think they also attracted quite ‘special’ soldier profiles. On top of that they tended to receive better equipment and they were in a state of competition with the Wehrmarcht
Love your videos from us
Thank you very much!
And the day before they murdered civilians in Tulle as well.
It’s not surprising since the Nazis, and especially the SS committed unspeakable acts all over Europe, but it is still always shocking nonetheless to hear about what humans are capable of. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for this comment, lest we forget
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Lest we forget.😞
So awful it's makes me wish there was a god,so that these monsters get what's coming to them.
Thanks for making this video we should never forget these atrocities,an maybe a soldier will see this,an stop anything like this happening again.
I'm Scottish an if you watch old movies about the war,the people at the top demonise the enemy to make it easier for soldiers to kill the enemy it's disturbing disgusting an it still goes on today.
Yes it is disgusting. We need to say that these guys were serious psychopaths and they did the exact same stuff dozen of times in the Eastern front. And yes you're right, people will never cease to stop considering other people as humans in order to "justify" the atrocity they want to commit
I've been there a few times. It's not all that it's presented to be...far more complex.
If there's anything you think is wrong in my video, don't hesitate to tell me.
This is hearbreaking i knew about this atrosity. I would be soooo interested in your perspective of the Battle at Castle ITTER Ww2 would imagine you are familiar as the french prisoners. ' all high profile to Nazis. actually understand they all different persuasion politically and did not like each other which i find absolutely so hilarious and so FRENCH 🤣 😊 is that true ? Also Operation Cowboy ? Ww2 these stories i only understand from American slant and would ❤️ to understand additional details of these incidents and how they are taught ? And how the people involved ended up?
