@@odstclose2962 those trapped in Leningrad ATE PEOPLE to survive. People starved to death on their feet. I don’t wanna hear how hard it was for the poor Nazis.
@@HamburgerTime209 I said it was hell for both sides, Nazi or not. The Nazis also started to death, froze to death, had no support, had their supply lines cut, they literally were left there to die, no support, no nothing, they had families, most of them were conscripts, they literally killed themselves because they couldn't take it anymore.

It was that night that Yuri left us. His eyes glazed over the way they always did when the enemy came towards the line, but this time he was not here with us. He was back home with his wife, warm by the fire, as his arms waltzed to the inaudible music, humming along. His hands gliding the bolt back and forth into place. Again and again. No recoil either, just... flash, and sound. Nothing would shake him from the dance. That calm, peaceful, look on his face. You could almost see him holding the ghost of his wife in his arms, as he swayed. Spinning soft circles in the snow, and felled foe after foe. We left him ammo, and the rest of us fell back to the second line. His final performance. The shell landed at the end of the ethereal song. At least the Germans waited for Yuri to bow. I'm glad he got one last dance.
Tragic. Its like he prefers to be with his wife until the end rather than fighting in the war led by heartless politicians. The russian soldiers gave every chance for him to leave and fight for his country but he refused and danced till the end... While the grim reaper is watching and disappears as he dies.
Also something interesting to read up on is that the Leningrad Orchestra, in complete defiance of the invaders, performed a symphony during the height of the siege, whilst completely starving. It played throughout the city and inspired this Opera themed video, a piece of history rarely mentioned. - www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34292312
My grandma was besieged in Leningrad when she was 6. The ilnesses she developed as a consequence of severe malnutrition during that period haunt her to this day. But the memories are even worse. She suffered a coma and a clinic death immediately after she was taken out of that hell, when the siege was broken. Never the less, she stayed incredibly strong, raised my father, my brother and me, and still teaches me things. She became candidate master of sport and devoted her life to rebuilding the country after the war and making it great. She calculated land stability of many hydro-power stations and other strategically important buildings in USSR and abroad. Now I study in the city in which she once lived and suffered. Former Leningrad is now the most beautiful and advanced city in Russia, IMHO. Marks of the war and the siege are still left in some places in the city, to remind people of what has happened. Thank you for your appreciation of this horrible period of Soviet history and history of my country, despite the things that are going on right now. I'm going to go meet her after a walk in a few minutes.
I got a bit teary reading that. You're grandmother is an absolute legend. My grandfather suffered PTSD as a conscript, ripped from art school and in a war zone 6 or 8 weeks later. BLOODY NONE of his daughters appreciated OR COME CLOSE to understanding what he went thru. They went to private schools and then did nothing but complain about the man who gave them their privileged life, literally twisting stories and COMPLETELY forgetting some of the good things he done for them that ONLY my one uncle remembers. He told me more war stuff than he did them. But it was NASTY crap. He got medical discharge but those who went further in the same battalion saw bridges made of dead bodies. Basically if the Japanese couldn't get across a ravine, they threw their dead in their and created A PILE of bodies TO WALK OVER to get to the other side. This is what the other guys in the same battalion saw. My grandfather sometimes used to blame malaria delusions on what was most likely real memories that caused the PTSD.

@@hichopoch4960 it was the deadliest but far from the longest siege in history. There have been sieges that have lasted longer than the entirety of ww2 during antiquity and the middle ages
The original title of the waltz was "The Mokshansky Regiment on the Hills of Manchuria" and referred to an incident during the Battle of Mukden, the disastrous final land battle of the Russo-Japanese War, when the Mokshansky Infantry Regiment was encircled by Japanese forces for 11 days, during which it sustained considerable casualties. Shatrov served in the regiment as bandmaster and composed the tune on returning from the war. While the regiment was stationed in Samara in 1906, he made the acquaintance of Oskar Knaube (1866-1920), a local music shop owner, who helped the composer to publish his work and later acquired ownership of it.
You left one important detail. For the final push commander ordered band and the colours to the front, to lead the breakthrough into Japanese-held lines. Charge succeeded, but almost all band members were killed.
It hits really hard: you can hear cries of soldiers: "Mother, help me..." on russian as artillery shoots. It really hits so, so hard. I almost cried. Great work, as always.
My personal favorite thus far. “Gradually, like the emigration of an insidious, phantom population, Leningrad belonged more to the dead than to the living. The dead watched over streets and sat in snow-swamped buses. Whole apartment buildings were tenanted by them, where in broken rooms, dead families sat waiting at tables. Their dominion spread room by room, like lights going out in evening.” - M.T. Anderson
It hits much more harder when you know Russian lines. 0:45 Enough! We just dying here! 1:20 Artilleria! 1:29 I cant! I ... Help us! 2:19 Wake me up! 2:45 Why they are doing this? Ahh.. WHY?!

More Russian lore is what we need. And the footage of dancer in the background was amazing, and the planes. I’ve been watching since you made London Calling but it’s the Iranian siege and I’m honestly impressed by your videos. Keep it up, I look forward to every release.
From the diary of Tanya Savicheva, an 11-year-old girl who lived in besieged Leningrad: "December 28, 1941. Zhenya died at 12.00 in the morning of 1941." "Grandma died on January 25 at 3 o'clock in 1942." "Leka died on March 17 at 5 o'clock in the morning. 1942". "Uncle Vasya died on April 13 at 2 a.m. 1942". "Uncle Lesha (died) May 10 at 4 p.m. 1942". "Mom (died) - May 13 at 7:30 a.m. 1942". "The Savichevs died." "Everyone died." "There's only Tanya left."
Awesome work as usual! Thank you really much for giving attention to such beautiful songs and such dramatic moments of Soviet history, that are unfortunately often forgotten in the West.

damn that hits so hard and even harder when you know your grandpa has lived through the war, injured and mentally traumatized. he died 2 years ago and i think he’s the true legend.
Such a great video. I was just listening normally in a car ride and I felt my throat clench up and I almost started crying. The music and sounds and my knowledge just hit me hard in thinking of everyone that died in the battle. Never quiet doing this man.
Man, great work as usual your attention to tiny details like machinegun fire and a plane passing by really puts your videos at another level, keep it up man you truely are an inspiration.

@Chet Muggins Several of these suggestions would be anachronistic. That can't be helped with "Sparta", but some of the other scenarios could probably have more appropriate song choices.
Another great one, and while I'm here, I might as well submit mine: "Welcome to Jamrock" but you're in a shootout over a politics. The crisis in Jamaica during the Cold War brought us arguably one of the most influential artists of all time, and is an interesting look into how party systems turn brothers into enemies.
I always wonder why there isn't much out there that we can use to learn about the Eastern Front, but it might be for a good reason. Great work on this banger as usual btw!

Thank you for making this piece, for I had asked for this specific song early in the year, And though I hold no reservations you made this video because of that, I must thank you nonetheless, for it is a beautiful piece of music.
My grandmother's short story: "The most terrible thing was how people were buried. Many people died of starvation during the first and second winters, and exhausted people and families could not even bury them in any way. At first, dynamite was used to dig mass graves, but later it was used to mine all the key sites of the city in case the defense was broken through. So those who didn't have the strength to bury (from the author - that's most people) the dead, digging the frozen ground with a pick or a crowbar, then they just gave the stiffened bodies to the guard. He would throw a heavy bar in a blanket on top of the two or three meter piles of dead bodies leaning against the fence of the cemetery. Sometimes a truck would come for these bodies, taking them to a ravine on the outskirts of town, but for most of the time they remained there as a sign that you shouldn't stop on the cold street since you can die without even noticing it." Here is a little sketch of the horrors of our city at that time. 8/8 brothers of her died defending this city. But now it is one of the best ones in Europe. Make a trip here in the summer and you will never regret it happen
Zhenya died on December 28th at 12 noon, 1941 Grandma died on the 25th of January at 3 o'clock, 1942 Leka died March 17th, 1942, at 5 o'clock in the morning, 1942 Uncle Vasya died on April 13th at 2 o'clock in the morning, 1942 Uncle Lesha May 10th, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, 1942 Mama on May 13th at 7:30 in the morning, 1942 The Savichevas are dead Everyone is dead Only Tanya is left - journal of Tanya Savicheva. Died July 1 1944 at age 14.
Shame almost every WW2 game never shows the Siege of Leningrad. The only one's I know of are IL-2 Sturmovik with Career Mode and Company of Heroes 2 that has a single mission about it.
Please do long tan, or gallipoli, with an Australian song like ‘A walk in the light green’ or ‘poor ned’ You can probably come up with something more creative but id love to see an aussie one of these
Watched this several times and it never ceases to bring a tear to my eye. My great grandfather left and never came back. Believed to have died in the first battles to try and prevent the Nazis from proceeding further. My grandma never got to keep a picture and was too young to remember his face. My great grandmother never remarried.
Once again another great video. Here's an idea for another: Bones in the ocean, but you're a sailor remembering the battle of Trafalgar. I know no British ships were lost but it would still be cool.
I asked my grandpa if his brothers talked about their time in war, and he only told me “My brothers had been deployed in D-Day, after they came back they don’t talk about it” he told me and I soon begun to research it turns out they fought at Omaha beach, one of them died after they got back home another suffers from PTSD.
На сопках Маньчжурии В феврале 1905 года 214-й резервный Мокшанский пехотный полк в тяжелейших боях между Мукденом и Ляояном ( Мукденское сражение) попал в японское окружение и постоянно подвергался атакам противника. В критический момент, когда уже заканчивались боеприпасы, командир полка полковник Петр Побыванец отдал приказ: «Знамя и оркестр - вперёд!..» Капельмейстер Шатров вывел оркестр на бруствер окопов, отдал приказ играть боевой марш и повёл оркестр вперёд за знаменем полка. Воодушевлённые солдаты ринулись в штыковую атаку. В ходе боя полк под музыку оркестра непрерывно атаковал японцев и, в конце концов, прорвал окружение. В бою погиб командир полка, от 4000 личного состава полка осталось 700 человек, из оркестра в живых осталось только 7 музыкантов. За этот подвиг все музыканты оркестра были награждены Георгиевскими крестами, Илья Шатров - офицерским орденом Святого Станислава 3-й степени с мечами (второе подобное награждение капельмейстеров), а оркестр удостоен почётных серебряных труб Мукденское сражение)
Please do one for that phonk song "Close eyes - DVRST" with something like "but youre on the way home from a LA car meet". Theres the sound of wide tires driving over typical LA concrete patches with some occasional scratching sound from the underside of the car. Also sounds of other cars driving past with loud exhausts along with the sound of the loud exhaust from the car. Its such a vibe, I need this for my healing :D
On the Hills of Manchuria hits hard af in instrumental, to quiet Stalingrad night, where only AA bullets are visible and distant flashes, bombing/shelling and mg42 brrrrrt is heard.
This one is for all the ones who died trying to defend their home from the people who wanted to exterminate them and everything they knew and held dear and sacred, they're all in a better place now.

Спите бойцы,
Спите спокойным сном.
Пусть вам приснятся нивы родные,

Пусть погибли вы в боях с врагами,

damn that hits so hard and even harder when you know your grandpa has lived through the war, injured and mentally traumatized. he died 2 years ago and i think he’s the true legend.
Such a great video. I was just listening normally in a car ride and I felt my throat clench up and I almost started crying. The music and sounds and my knowledge just hit me hard in thinking of everyone that died in the battle. Never quiet doing this man.
Idk why but this brought me to tears, thank you for the amazing work you do for us. We apprieciate it so very much brother
Man, great work as usual your attention to tiny details like machinegun fire and a plane passing by really puts your videos at another level, keep it up man you truely are an inspiration.
I know i promised a Merkava video but it'll have to be a Sho't Kal sorry (working on the video now, Yom Kippur war)
@@HistoryFeels don't worry it's all good, and I even think I can predict what song you will use :)
@@merkavamkivm3373 Probably haha, its the only Jewish tune I know!
@@HistoryFeels I'd say this one fits pretty well ruclips.net/video/Ygci5hRjmK8/видео.html
One of the most terrifying fragments of human history... Respect from St P.
Over The Hills (and far away) but you're apart of the 5th Foot making a desperate counterattack to retake the hill at A Coruna as the rest of the army embarks on transports.
Now that's soldering... (or erm suggestering??)
@@residentelect based Sharp reference
Spainnish civil war?
"Run through the jungle" but you're running to the evac site
"La victoire est a nous" but the Prussian have arrived at Waterloo
"Napalm sticks to kids" but you're losing your sanity in My lai
"Welcome to the jungle" but Noriega Is refusing to surrender
"Sunday bloody sunday" but you're targeting civilians in Bogside
“Cherry pie” but your storming the beaches of normandy (if u dont get the reference then it wont make sense)
“Show me how to live” but you’re a Jew in 1940s Germany
“I wanna rock and roll all night” but you’re a US marine at the battle of Okinawa
“Shot in the dark” but you’re also a US marine at Okinawa
@Chet Muggins Several of these suggestions would be anachronistic. That can't be helped with "Sparta", but some of the other scenarios could probably have more appropriate song choices.
Another great one, and while I'm here, I might as well submit mine: "Welcome to Jamrock" but you're in a shootout over a politics. The crisis in Jamaica during the Cold War brought us arguably one of the most influential artists of all time, and is an interesting look into how party systems turn brothers into enemies.
He just keeps improving upon perfection! Keep up the good work!!! 👍
I always wonder why there isn't much out there that we can use to learn about the Eastern Front, but it might be for a good reason.
Great work on this banger as usual btw!
God this is such a good song, and you make it ever better, props to you.
THIS IS THE BEST ONE YET
I've Watched this video more times than i can count.....but each time I watch....the emotions remain the same.......Bless those Men & Women out east.....they did what they had to do......Love from USA🌹
Thank you for making this piece, for I had asked for this specific song early in the year, And though I hold no reservations you made this video because of that, I must thank you nonetheless, for it is a beautiful piece of music.
My grandmother's short story: "The most terrible thing was how people were buried. Many people died of starvation during the first and second winters, and exhausted people and families could not even bury them in any way. At first, dynamite was used to dig mass graves, but later it was used to mine all the key sites of the city in case the defense was broken through. So those who didn't have the strength to bury (from the author - that's most people) the dead, digging the frozen ground with a pick or a crowbar, then they just gave the stiffened bodies to the guard. He would throw a heavy bar in a blanket on top of the two or three meter piles of dead bodies leaning against the fence of the cemetery. Sometimes a truck would come for these bodies, taking them to a ravine on the outskirts of town, but for most of the time they remained there as a sign that you shouldn't stop on the cold street since you can die without even noticing it."
Here is a little sketch of the horrors of our city at that time. 8/8 brothers of her died defending this city. But now it is one of the best ones in Europe. Make a trip here in the summer and you will never regret it happen
You really do make some fine art, never kid yourself, this is amazing...
That was much appreciated man, soul to soul i might say
Jeez man, that climatic ending gave me chills, just like your Kenny Loggins video. Well done again History Feels!
Thank you for all you do!! Only RUclipsr who’s videos I actively have to like
Editing just gets better and better
Nailed the voice lines and the background animations man keep it up 👍

Вечная память героям блокадного Ленинграда, города, в котором я родился и живу, вечная память
this channel is literally the reason i find these music i listen to while playing video games about ww2
Very nice very nice love it gives me the feeling like I'm in the middle of the siege in Leningrad
Very true
The RUclips gods have blessed me with your content.
Shame almost every WW2 game never shows the Siege of Leningrad. The only one's I know of are IL-2 Sturmovik with Career Mode and Company of Heroes 2 that has a single mission about it.
This is your best video yet! Keep up the incredible work!
Please do long tan, or gallipoli, with an Australian song like ‘A walk in the light green’ or ‘poor ned’
You can probably come up with something more creative but id love to see an aussie one of these
love the falling snow and fade in to the dancing
That's my favorite video of yours
good job 👍
Hearts of Oak, but you're on the bridge of HMS Queen Mary as she's shot to sheds by the High Seas Fleet at Jutland
I put these videos on for background noise and get drawing into the visuals you've been doing. Love it
I can just feel this man's coldness
You deserve more attention for these videos my man
Man. You keep taking the editing to another level. Your work is amazing!
This video gave me goosebumps...
Every time I want a good crying session mixed with goosebumps, I come to this video
Another amazing video from a full stadium of people's favorite youtuber historyfeels!
Oh god I waited so long for this one, thank you!
Watched this several times and it never ceases to bring a tear to my eye. My great grandfather left and never came back. Believed to have died in the first battles to try and prevent the Nazis from proceeding further. My grandma never got to keep a picture and was too young to remember his face. My great grandmother never remarried.
Once again another great video. Here's an idea for another: Bones in the ocean, but you're a sailor remembering the battle of Trafalgar.
I know no British ships were lost but it would still be cool.
"Tabaco y Ron" but you're in the last holdout before the FARC-EP takes Mitú
I asked my grandpa if his brothers talked about their time in war, and he only told me “My brothers had been deployed in D-Day, after they came back they don’t talk about it” he told me and I soon begun to research it turns out they fought at Omaha beach, one of them died after they got back home another suffers from PTSD.
Bruh the art is so smooth.
На сопках Маньчжурии В феврале 1905 года 214-й резервный Мокшанский пехотный полк в тяжелейших боях между Мукденом и Ляояном ( Мукденское сражение) попал в японское окружение и постоянно подвергался атакам противника. В критический момент, когда уже заканчивались боеприпасы, командир полка полковник Петр Побыванец отдал приказ: «Знамя и оркестр - вперёд!..» Капельмейстер Шатров вывел оркестр на бруствер окопов, отдал приказ играть боевой марш и повёл оркестр вперёд за знаменем полка. Воодушевлённые солдаты ринулись в штыковую атаку. В ходе боя полк под музыку оркестра непрерывно атаковал японцев и, в конце концов, прорвал окружение. В бою погиб командир полка, от 4000 личного состава полка осталось 700 человек, из оркестра в живых осталось только 7 музыкантов. За этот подвиг все музыканты оркестра были награждены Георгиевскими крестами, Илья Шатров - офицерским орденом Святого Станислава 3-й степени с мечами (второе подобное награждение капельмейстеров), а оркестр удостоен почётных серебряных труб Мукденское сражение)
Amazing work sir you are great
My grandfathers didn’t like to talk about war. Now I know why.
Great work as normal, really hits u hard.
What a unique channel thanks for posting this 😁
VetTv really has gotta pick you up to make music videos off of these videos cause the sounds paint such a picture. Honestly amazing work.
'The British Grenadiers' but you're holding off the zulus at Rorke's Drift
“We’ll meet again” by Vera Lynn but your getting evacuated at dunkirk
bro i love your content
Over the hills and far away but your fighting off 3,000 zulus
Please do one for that phonk song "Close eyes - DVRST" with something like "but youre on the way home from a LA car meet". Theres the sound of wide tires driving over typical LA concrete patches with some occasional scratching sound from the underside of the car. Also sounds of other cars driving past with loud exhausts along with the sound of the loud exhaust from the car. Its such a vibe, I need this for my healing :D
Never heard of this song, it has awesome history
On the Hills of Manchuria hits hard af in instrumental, to quiet Stalingrad night, where only AA bullets are visible and distant flashes, bombing/shelling and mg42 brrrrrt is heard.
Perfectly perfectionly perfect
"We'll Meet Again" by Vera Lynn but you're a British soldier storming the beaches of Normandy.
This one is for all the ones who died trying to defend their home from the people who wanted to exterminate them and everything they knew and held dear and sacred, they're all in a better place now.
Makes me remember of that Brestskaya Krepost movie. Love it.
Legendary content creator
You should implement the fading videos, they add even more drama. I also didn't expect that ending... The quality of your content is increasing video after video! Keep it up!
Peculiar music choice for the location
At 0:11 you can hear a PTRD firing. This is such a good video.
Вечная память Деду и Его братьям🤲🙏
one of my favorite classical songs and i never knew it had lyrics?? thanks!
My name is Commander Shepard and this is my favorite channel on RUclips.
''Gimme Gimme Gimme - ABBA'' but you are preparing to attack the Russian baltic fleet with your AJ-37 ''Viggen'' attack jet
Perfect study music. Thank you.
If anyone is looking for a good read related to this, there’s a book called “At Leningrad’s Gates”. It’s a memoir from the perspective of a Wehrmacht Forward Observer
This war
There is nothing to be gained
Not from this
Even in victory
All we will know is loss
Loss and defeat
On the Hills of Manchuria is one of my favorite melodies. It so sad
another amazing work from you! I love Russian history and culture and I love your channel cheers!
‘Sat Tee Touy’ (Slowed Version), but you’re a Khmer Rouge soldier forced to commit atrocities on your people
You make videos for a very specific and worrying demographic, i'm in!
