To answer your question at 5:13 yes, I would like to see a full video about the 1917 battle and the myth surrounding it during the 3rd Reich. Thank you for the interesting and engaging content!
Man, you fall asleep in that weather and you never wake up again. The Langemark? Ive seen and heard that word but never knew anything about it! I think it would be cool to see/ hear the tale! Thanks Frederick and may you and yours be blessed! Great work.
I really appreciate the fact you come up with so much film of such high quality. Also, the vast majority of it is footage I'mbseeing for the first time. Keep it up!
Winter footage looks like the German Army in a North Dakota blizzard where I live. I feel for these soldiers and horses of their pain. Even modern tech does not change things much in a blizzard here.
watching at the end of the video it must of been so hard on the German soldiers having to be out in all that snow and cold, Germany would never of got that bad
They ate lots of carbs and fat. Germans would often eat lard on bread, which contained tons of both. Of course they would scrounge everything they could. When things got really bad they butchered their horses and made horse meat soup or stew.
@@lucas82 interesting. I understand the Royal Marine Arctic 24 hour ration pack has over 5000 calories. I used to be a soldier and being a fairly skinny one I would have been uncomfortable in arctic conditions
I presume they used to consume lot of gewurst or pig sausage plus karttofel or potatoes , which was the favorite and traditional german dishes and still is as of today.
You always come up with something interesting Frederick!..I was left wondering who that chap was with the Knights Cross round his neck and the Cuff Band sat with the other youngsters at the Langermark School? The very fact that He was there wearing what he was whereas the others looked to be more in HJ uniform Made him stand out!🤔
Yes, I'd love to see a video on the 1917 Battle of Langemarck and the myth. We know too little about WW1, yet those events shaped what came later. Thank you.
The Battle of Langemark was fought in 1914 immediately following the outbreak of the Great War, not 1917. Aside from the political/ideological aspects, the "Langemark" study program aimed to make it possible for youth who had not obtained their "Abitur" (German equivalent of the high school diploma) to attain a higher-level education. It was a sort of college-preparatory course, which was in itself a manifestation of the National Socialist ideal that educational & economic opportunities should be open to all Germans, regardless of wealth or social class. Interestingly, one of the Langemark participants in this footage was a Knight's Cross Holder
All of those men would be lost a mere 3 months later as Operation Bagration wiped out Army Group Centre. Vitebsk was one of the first major cities to be surrounded and liquidated as the soviets rolled west.
Yes, ithappened around the same time as D-day and virtually put an end to the Whermacht but Bagration is very rarely mentioned in the West the details of the event are pretty mind blowing.
@@ashleyupshall7641 If all you knew was the war from the perspective taught in the US, you'd think the Americans defeated the german army and that D-day was the critical battle. In truth, after Bagration, the germans were finished. Even if the allies never landed in Normandy, the end would have still come in 1945. D-day merely prevented the French from potentially speaking Russian.
y qué opinas de los eventos conmemorativos por parte del Gobierno de Estados Unidos de Norte América ?????? también son NAZIS ??? y podríamos mencionar a muchos Más naciones que conmemoran a sus guerreros caidos combate... oh, pero la intención es que la parte germana tenga cierta índole perversa y maléfica !!! Bravo !

I hear you
The horrible pain in that cold. And I've only been in -13 nothing like -40.🙏🙏😭
@@davidschaadt3460 I can't imagine it

Complete rubbish, you have never been to the former parts of Germany now in Poland. It can be freaking cold in those places.
@@a.rodimtsev9446 you have me on that, never been to Germany, Poland or Russia, just going on our Canadian winters
Maybe they should not started the war then.
The nutritional requirements of a young frontline soldier in combat in those cold conditions must have been extreme

What fine young Germanic youth, standing up for their Fatherland and people in their noble struggle against Bolshevism and the Western Plutocrats!

Yeah, I saw him. Ive got no idea who he is
@@M1945I could sit and watch every one of these films from the first to the last They are so interesting and Educational 👍😊
The title on the Cuff band is: Studium ( Study). They are no HJ but soldiers.
Be sure to give this video a THUMBS UP! Best way to support the channel!

Great video. By the time this newsreel came out, only the most deluded could still have believed in a german victory
When the horrors of living through the Allied bombing is added then you are right
@@M1945 What ? Compared with the earlier German terror bombing of Rotterdam in 1940 ?
@@petergraves2085 crimes do not compete with each other. It's not one or the other
Top-tier content
Thanks Lonny
@@M1945 what does Agfa mean?
@@LonnyWilliams-x5m That was the brand name of the film used by the Germans, like Kodak
1:37, on the cuff band: Großdeutschland. Also visible on the epaulettes.
great film fred. thanks for your channel
Thanks Bill
That Switzerland carnival is certainly something
Very interesting

Interesting content as ever Frederick. Would be interested to hear more on the propaganda roots of Goebels and his departments ideas.
I've started gathering the film and ideas eno
Did they breed some sort of fox?
Really very interesting pictures of the 3rd Reich, you really get to see very rarely.
And still 14 months of war left to fight in front of them.
All of those men would be lost a mere 3 months later as Operation Bagration wiped out Army Group Centre. Vitebsk was one of the first major cities to be surrounded and liquidated as the soviets rolled west.

I would rather have died young in the war than been born in 1990 and live to be 100. The world used to be such a colourful place, even in B&W

How is he wearing a knights Cross?

Mine as well
Winter footage seems to be the first winter in Russia.
Right I'd say so, too. You can tell by the uniforms that weren't suitable for these conditions.
Best if Hitler had stopped with Czechoslovakia, what insanity. Unbelievable millions of peoples would suffer the catastrophic results. Madness
Indoctrinated but to this day many not embarrassed ! SHAME SHAME !
Should have read about Napoleon in Russia
Could you imagine our younger generation trying to dig all that snow on those Russian roads... Lol.. Just absolutely brutal conditions!!!!
@@harrybrass007 no, they cant even decide which pronoun to use
Die Russen nannten die Wehrmacht im Winter den Winterfritz.
What did they mean by Winterfritz?
Fritz was just a common German name
@@M1945 so it means wintergermans?
@@youknowme1475 Fritz is used as a derogatory name for Germans like gook for east asian people. Never heard Winterfritz before.
