German occupation of France - A different view | River of Recollection
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 окт 2018
- Six contemporary witnesses recount the story of two neighbouring villages in France that were separated by a border during the occupation by Nazi Germany during World War II. Told from the viewpoint as children at that time, we see the war and the occupation period in a surprisingly new way.
My father served in the Wehrmacht and occupied Paris. He had two French girlfriends. After he died I discovered photos and letters from these girlfriends. Fascinating reading.
Had this fact be known, those girls would have been scalped in 1944 and triumphantly paraded through the streets of their hometown... The revenge of the vanquished... Sordid.
@@jeanforest8060 you are lucky cos youtube keep censoring my response
Was only one not enough ? Anyway, they have always told us that German soldiers weren't allowed to date French women. Some (or maybe many) were sent to the Eastern Front as a punishment because of that.
My great-grand-mother was in Paris during the occupation. Apparently, she fell in love with a German officer and had a child with him, but luckily (as opposed to getting her head shaved publicly), he took her back to Berlin in '44 with her eldest boy, my grand-father. My grandpa left after a year to come back to France, and eventualy moved to Canada in '52. I wish I could find out what became of his half-brother.
@@Gwen34900 Going back to Berlin in ´44? Not many things more dangerous at that time, I bet she wondered what she was doing amidst all the chaos in the last weeks of the war and the utter destruction of Berlin and the subsequent occupation by the Red Army.
Bravo, Well done, As and Englishman who has lived i France for +15 years this is a remarkable, honest, and true representation/reflection of France and the French during the occupation in rural France along the demarcation zone. Thank you for producing and recording such a memory that alas will soon be lost to us .
Thank you for making subtitles, this is truly amazing.
Great production! I really enjoyed the technique of overlaying historical photographs on top of modern live footage taking from exactly the same angle. It adds so much to the experience.
The production company that does those time shifts is called "Ruiter Productions" and they have a channel here on YT.
In 2001 I worked in a recycling factory in Chicago,I found a bag containing envelopes, the correspondence between a chicagoan doctor and a woman in Rotterdam during WWII,there was an envelope with the german eagle and the words "geöffnet",it means opened.I thought "What innocent people were the Germans.
as a 70yo australian i really enjoyed this video. thanks for posting.
Bless you
A wonderful film. Thank you!
Wonderfully composed. Thank you.
What an astonishing documentary!...reminds me of how people in the channel islands got on with the germans
very well indeed. But not many in Britain appreciate the collaboration with the occupiers. It would probably had been the same on the mainland if the invasion has succeeded with tragic consequences for many
Amazing production and thought-provoking.
Thank you for this. It was beautiful.
Very interesting watch! Thank you
beautiful cinematography thanks for uploading this wonderful work!
Very interesting! Good production too needs more views
Great job, very well done, thank you!
Wow! BRILLIANT! Thank you!
Very interesting - not enough is shown about this.
We could all do with knowing more. I think that time still hovers in the background, things happened.
This is amazing to watch as a Social Studies teacher . This captures the essence of ORAL HISTORY
Quand on voit ce qu'est devenue la France aujourd'hui...!
C'est clair. Ils auraient dû gagner
@LOUIS BOURBON oui je dis d'accord avec vous mais quand on parle des ennemis anglo-saxons, il faut bien se rappeler qu'ils sont "occupes" par certains groupes 😉 eux non plus ne sont pas spécialement belliqueux

GREAT !!
Thnx so much for uploading !
Plse more.
Nothing like Paris in the Springtime. Brisk walks, warm midday sun in a park.
Regarding the camera work. It is important to keep the camera still, as is fortunately done here -- and not, as too often occurs, wave the camera left and right fast or too fast, and zoom in and zoom out. We lucky viewers have time to see everything as it is / was because of the professionalism, consideration and respect shown to the subjects of the cinematographer.
"Springtime in Paris." Elsewhere in France, everything here looks pretty, green, tranquil during the filming in what must surely have been late spring and early summer.
. . . Of course the blending of the 1940s b&w with contemporary images is ingenious and unique delivering fascinating results.
The audio levels are consistent; subtitles legible and greatly appreciated.
Are the train tracks we saw still in use or "not in service"?
The clear memories of these senior citizens of their childhoods during occupation brought back to mind a romantic comedy, feature film from 1969, "If It's Tuesday, It Must Be Belgium." In addition to the love story slowing unfolding between the American tourist, Suzanne Pleshette, and her bus full of sight-seers', English guide, Ian McShane, while touring the continent there is a humorous, strangely nostalgic scene where the male German and American tourists, two men, enemy soldiers from a quarter century prior, reminisce and act out for their wives their 'heroic' exploits -- embellished and exaggerated.
The fun, well-crafted, scenic movie was executive produced by David L. Wolper, the same filmmaker who just the prior year delivered to the world the six-hour documentary, "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," that was based on the acclaimed book. As others have noted on IMDB, it is most unfortunate only a version half its original length is available for viewing today. Apparently no one knows the reason(s) the Wolper Organization keeps it locked in its film vault, no longer offered for public viewing or Blu-ray and DVD editions available for purchase.
Merci, "Mesavo."
Nice video...reminds that in terrible conflicts theere were human behavior an nice gestures.
This is amazing, thank you!
A perfect case of what do I believe, official history or my own eyes. A rare glimpse into WW2 truth, I loved it, thank you.
Maréchal! Nous Vóila!
Worst version of France ever. Only lasted 4 years
Very good !
when u realise everything you touch and step have some history in there
Girls in France: Its so romantic here!
Boys in France:
Feu Mme la Chatelaine de Bayer en Charente, nous avait raconté lors d'une visite du château que pendant l'occupation, les Villageois préparaient des jardinières tricolore pour mettre aux fenêtres des maisons. Bien sûr les Allemands arrachaient les fleurs, mais dès le lendemain, les Français les avaient replantés.
Elle disait aussi que lorsqu'un avion passait pour un bombardement, si c'était les Anglais personne n'était inquiété, mais que si c'était les Américains, tout le monde avait peur car eux ne savaient pas viser (de son point de vue d'enfant à l'époque) et qu'ils pouvaient tirer sur n'importe quoi, y compris les maisons.
J'ai entendu dire que c'était parce que les Américains visaient de beaucoup plus haut que les Anglais.
We hear little of Vichy.
Un projet bien fait !
Hltler's ghost haunts the present. Plans for everyone.
Ciel! Tout le contraire de ce qu'on nous a toujours raconté! Se pourrait-il donc que l'on nous ait menti, tout simplement? À savoir que les Allemands se soient tout bonnement comportés en soldats civilisés durant l'occupation? Je tombe des nues...
Pas pendant toute l'occupation mais au début.
Et tout dépend avec qui. Avec des enfants, oui, mais avec les pauvres employés du château, apparemment non.
@@helilebon614 Bref jusqu'à ce qu'on se mette à tirer sur eux au nom de la Résistance, non? Les communistes s'y étant jusque-là opposés au nom du pacte Hitler-Staline... Mais dès lors que l'on vous tire dessus, ma foi...
Ca dépendait desquels. Il y avait un peu de tout dans l'armée allemande.
I'm pretty sure it was when they were retreating that hostilities towards civilians arose.
The moral of the story = We see what is in front of us on the day, that month, that year. We never see over the hill, over the countryside, over the continent.
We see our facts through our eyes. History is given to us by others. History is manipulated by other big pictures. In life, it is never what happens to you; it is how you see it and its value.
What's the name of the intro song
Kamerad, wir marschieren im Westen (Frankreichlied)
@@thorstennommensen5105 Mit den Bombengeschwadern vereint.(...) Vorwärts voran voran über die Maas, über Schelde und Rhein, marschieren wir siegreich in Frankreich hinein, hinein, marschieren wir marschieren wir in Frankreich hinein. Sie wollten das Reich uns verderben doch der Westwall macht ihnen den Streich. Wir kommen und schlagen zu Scherben die veraltete, morschete Welt, Vorwärts...
My grandfather served in the 🇺🇸 ARMY FIGHTING 69TH TANK REGIMENT. I'm very proud of him. Although he didn't like talking about the war. It was a very important victory for everyone even modern day Germans can appreciate the fact the nazis were stopped. I loved this video. The community is beautiful. Sorry to hear about the owners and employees of the castle R.I.P. 🙏. To the director. 👏 👏 👏 Keep up the great work. Respect from Frank Furia Palm Beach Florida 🇺🇸.
Bravo pour ce voyage dans le temps , comme Québécois je suis attaché a la France .Too bad the young generation has little interest for this past...they say ''Ok , boomer xxx''

What is the point? The same polite and kind German soldiers when transferred to the Eastern front did not throw chocolates at children but hanged them for fun. Yuri Gagarin's, 1st man in space, brother was hanged by a bored or feeling superior German soldier that was billeting in their home that meant displacing the family to the pigsty. French did not want to fight after the World War I. If they have invaded Germany when all meagre German forces were attacking Polnd that would be the end of it.
We all know the atrocities committed by Germany. It's not the point of the film. It's about the stories of "normal" peoples childhood during this time, their feelings and impressions.
Nice propaganda
Great job deleting my comment you “fascist”.
The point is exactly that: The German occupation of France, a country they respected, was not so bad (unless you were Jewish or a Resistance member). Whereas the campaign against Communist Russia was seen as a crusade of annihilation.
More French fought for Germany than the Allies.
Titel auf Englisch, Video auf Deutsch und Franzözisch… warum? Ich kann Englisch und Deutsch aber nicht Fränzosisch
Street Racer Dann wird es Zeit dass du französisch lernst.
@@johanvandermeulen9696 nein denn ich bin nicht schwul
@@streetracer2321 Ha, ha, ha, ja so ist es auch bei uns in Holland: man findet die französische Sprache affektiert. Trotzdem finde ich die französische Sprache schöner als englisch, aber das ist eine Frage von Geschmack. Auch finde ich plattdeutsch schöner als hochdeutsch, aber auch dies ist wieder ganz persönlich. Ich bin toll auf Seemannslieder wie: Ich hab' einen Hamburger Viermaster seh'n ... und Wo die Wogen trecken ...
@@streetracer2321 "nein denn ich bin nicht schwul" : Strange comment, quite homophobic. There is a tendency nowadays for young Germans to say that French is a gay lunguage, or a language for gays. Poor Germany, they have learnt nothing. Plus for your information there are subtitles in English. It seems to me that this is a French video about French people telling their memories of German occupied France.
@@ratlover2488 Gott ist auch ‘homophob’. Ich bin kein Deutsche, ich bin Amerikaner… das ist aber kühl, dass die Deutschen (und Niederländer) auch französisch schwul finden.
worth reading those interested in life in occupied & Vichy France. It deals with the terrible French habit of denouncing by letter or verbally their neighbours, friends, acquaintances etc more often Jews during the war. It is calculated the German & Vichy authorities received between 5 & 8 MILLION such letters ! This book is : "Dénoncer Les Juifs sous l'Occupation " by Laurent Joly CNRS Editions Paris 2017 New Edition covers this tragic part of the occupation.
There again, don't take it as a FRENCH habit. How come that 75% of Jews in France survived the holocaust, whereas only 25% survived in the Netherlands or about 9% survived in Poland ?
gordon spicer Hahaha ! Reading your comment I can't help thinking you would have been one of these 8 million whistleblowers.
@@ratlover2488 be more precise please. Does every person interested in this history fit your perverted category of a collaborateur? Bizarre comment I find
@@gordonski9310 More precise about what ? Everyone knows that ALL countries under German occupation have collaborated, one way or another, even the ones who pretend they haven't. Always pointing your finger at the French is absolutely hypocritical.
