I understand that. Having been an armchair historian since I was 12. I've have seen much more horrifying pictures believe me. Your comments are pretty accurate and we'll put. Thank you again.
Throughout history especially world history the Nazi party was the far-right party Republican Party they were responsible for the Holocaust! But think about this before you vote for Republican Party! For those who lost their lives in the Holocaust may they rest in peace forever amen!
The true "Holocaust", destruction by fire, in case your warped mind still struggles to come to terms with, are the firebombings of German civilians, and the nuclear bombings of the Japanese. German concentration camps and the resulting deaths of inmates don't even remotely come close to the definition of "Holocaust".
@@armynet191 Certainly - he was a prisoner at Auschwitz who was sent to several German manufacturers as slave labor. He was also forced on a death march from the oncoming Red Army. His story is burned into my memory.
An important detail that is easily overlooked among the horrors is that guards were not forced to work in the camps: they could decline and return to normal combat duties, probably on the Nazi-Soviet Front. Meanwhile the Nazi government became so obsessed with its war of annihilation that men were taken from the front lines to increase the rate of murder until the last days of the war. Old men and boys were left to defend their families and the remains of their homes from the Red Army because the soldiers were doing the "far more important" work of genocide.
Their obsession with the Jews had a lot to do with their own downfall. How quickly they forgot how many Jews fought for their German homeland only twenty years earlier.
Had nightmares for quite some time as a child. My school taught us and showed documentaries that were not censored. A particular scene plagued my mind as I watched bulldozers moving mountains of the starved and naked bodies into organized piles. Bodies were treated like slabs of concrete and this image stays with me till this day, and amongst all the things that I have been unfortunate enough to witness, this image is still one of the most haunting. It is way beyond me to even begin to comprehend how humans can inflict the kind of horrors that they do to one another.
That footage does stay with you, that's for sure. The slight karma to those scenes is the sight of German camp guards being made to move some of those bodies by hand. No gloves or masks.
I remember that documentary and I also first learning about the holocaust in school. There was one scene that stayed with me of a man and woman being pulled away from their window and then a flood of bullets mowing them down.
Those were ppl who died of starvation and disease. The alies bombed all supply lines and factories in Germany so there were no resources to take care of those ppl. Also, thise were Americans and Brits driving those dozers, many ppl think that was the Germans...nope. so many lies and falsehoods in this narrative.
Maria Mandl - just looking at her photo can give you the chills. All the women guards seem to have a similar look, fair hair and sinister. Being Nazis gave them the chance to live out their sadistic fantasies with completely helpless victims. All of them were monsters. Thanks for this educational and impressive documentary. Hard to listen to and watch for sure, which means you did a very good job here.
Excellent narration, thank you.. just a point, when unloading the trains of Jews, babies were snatched by guards Holding the legs they would smash the heads against the brick walls
I can't get over how good your videos are. So much detail, so much research and great narration. One of the top channels on you tube hands down. Outstanding!!
Thank you for covering this topic for future generations. It is critical that we all never let these creatures and their actions go unknown. Though many of these men and women met their eventual end, the evil and suffering that they inflicted should never be forgotten or denied.
Who will teach our children about the evils of the Zionist Jews who terrorized an entire nation and stole their lands. Who will make the Israelis responsible for murdering thousands of innocent Palestinians in Gaza during the infamous "cast lead" action ?
The problem is that many Germans want to play the victim part and expect us, sound people, to forget about their atrocities. To them it's only me, me, me. It's how we were raped, we were bombed, we were humiliated...... Never what they did to the Jews, Poles, Russians, children, handicapped people, Jehovah Witnesses, Roma people......
I remember learning of the Holocaust when I was 13. My little young mind couldn't understand why or how this stain on the history of humanity happened. I never understood how one man could lead a nation to do such atrocious things. I remember telling my teacher and asking "doesn't this seem to horrible to actually have happened??? What if it's just a horror story???" I was crying as I asked. The teacher explained to me that yes it did happen it was real and we teach this moment of history to hope it never happens again. I was also happy to learn that not all Germans took part of the atrocious things and some tried to help fight the third Reich. The stories of those that fought back and those that risked everything to save so many touched my heart yet my heart remained broken that the Nazis did this and got away with it for so many years. I remember the field trip to the Holocaust museum and how sad and dark it was. May the many victims rest in peace.
I still don't understand, the so called most powerful nation on the earth has too killed many innocent people in wars they have fought in name of freedom and democracy. Why dont people see that too. Why moral policing everywhere? People should also see that as monstrosity.
It is so sad that every guard, every SS officer, every Nazi soldier that served at all of those camps were not caught and executed. Far too many monsters got away.
Gitta Sereny’s book on Stangl is fascinating. As was her take on the banality of evil. She didn’t like the phrase because it was far too simple. The frightening truth is that Stangl ‘organised’ Treblinka to be efficient. That’s fairly terrifying.
@@DiD86 I agree. But, on the four occasions he asked for a transfer from Treblinka to the Russian front; they threatened his family. What would you have done? Evil is rarely black and white. And if you pigeon-hole it, you will be responsible for it happening again. Sereny’s point.
Thank you for this eye-opening video of Nazi guards and officers who worked at those hellish places in Europe. It is astounding and disgusting how so many people stopped to those depths of depravity.
This guy was so bad even the state had to kick him out of his job. Just goes to show how chance events can sometimes uncover the true depravity of man.
It's so gratifying to hear a presenter correctly pronouncing historical terms. Most, especially American ones, (but not all) are lamentable in their lazy attempts
From simple accountant to body parts collector... I've noticed a theme whereby simple bureaucrats were often those that became the death camp monsters...
Jim Sim... my father now 98 y r s . Was a pilot during the Berlin blockade .and witnessed the early rescue of belton camp .my mother spent 75 yrs of her marriage calming him down at night when he had recurrent nightmares apart from that they were a devoted happy couple with a succesfull family ...
Thank you for making this video. It was very informative and something everyone should watch. I also enjoyed your narration. Your dry wit made me smile a couple of times, even while discussing such a horrendous topic.
I can't imagine being a survivor at the Nuremberg trials, looking at the head guard/warden that you mentioned, and see him sitting there w his chest out and then say that he was never there.. like look at me. Take a good look at me and tell me you have never been there. I was one of the "dogs" you told your men to round up for execution.. I just imagine any survivor there hearing him say that felt so disrespected and angry that they couldn't contain themselves and possibly blurted something out cuz they want him having zero chances of freedom, whether that day or after a 40 year sentence. Death or life in the most inhumane conditions(Alabama prison system) are the only fitting punishment.
Thank you from the Netherlands. We all know how wrong the Nazi's were but I soke up everything from this bad part of history. You are doing such a great Job and together with Dr Mike Felton you are the only historians that pronounce all the names right. That is important. Thank you for your work. Kind regards, Ruben
this was a very very interesting thank you for telling and sharing this horrible horrible event in our history with us. I will never ever understand how anyone can be so cruel to another human being, and your voice is great
Some of my Dad Fred White's family members died in the Holocaust. My Dad, Fred White was born on April 23, 1917, and he was in the NAVY during World War 2. There are exhibits at some of the museums for documents that are kept on file for family members of people who died in the Holocaust. There is also a genealogy research library at some of the Jewish centers. My Dad, Fred White's gravesite is located at Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, New York in Long Island.
It was the darkest hour in the History of Germany. My Grandfather served in the Reichswehr 1918-1932 from then on in the Wehrmacht until 06.25.1941 only days after the start of "Barbarossa". He was shocked after he wittnessed the murdering of civilians in the War against Poland and has started to ask questions. In 1941 he was Oberleutnant and the Order he received for Barbarossa were absolutely horrifique and he refused the Order. He spent the Rest of the War in 4 different KZ. He luckily survived the War but my Grandmother told me he never again was the Man she once married. He never told me spezifics but it was easy to remarke his sadness and his feeling of betrayal by the Country he loved so much. Requiescat in Pace my dear Opa❤
What people always seem to forget/overlook is that these were regular people the same as us. They just reflect what alot of us can become if put under the right circumstances
If by regular people you mean sadist, with the exception of ss members who were in it from the beginning and there was no other jobs for them beside concentration camps, all of these people were sadist and fully believed in nazi ideals. They joined the non combat branch of the ss, they weren’t regular people
"His youthful head was quickly filled with the extreme right-wing ideals of the interwar years....quickly gaining notoriety for his staunch commitment to the 'cause''." That's not everybody. That's not regular people. That's the brand of people who would follow somebody like Trump all the way to insurrection and genocide. It's people who would volunteer for the SS and decorate their funny suits with patches like "Right Wing Death Squad."
Very well produced video of what still remains, a horrific topic. It's also well worth remembering the actions of the Einsatzgruppen that preceded the this stage of the Holocaust and a particularly twisted and sick individual by the name of Oskar Dirlewanger, a senior officer in the SS. That in itself would make a suitable Descent Into Darkness
@@DiD86 How about a segment on Yad Vashem's director Yitzak Arad's book "The Partisan" where he admits to murdering dozens of Lithuanian boys to keep them from joining the oncoming German Army??? Or does that topic sour your gefilte fish???
All these people were diabolical monsters. When I lived in Germany in the 70s . The german people still held a lot of animosity towards people they fought in WW2. I didnt know as a kid how many of these type of people were still living and probably around me. Sickening
Exactly the same happened to me when I was there on the 60s! They hated all other Nations because they lost the war, and not repentant of the tragedies they caused!
Minimum replacement birth rate: 2.1 Israel birth rate: 3.00 EU birth rate: 1.53 Canada birth rate: 1.47 USA birth rate: 1.70 Australia birth rate: 1.66 Russia birth rate: 1.50 Ukraine birth rate: 1.23 Moldova: 1.28 Belarus: 1.38 Serbia: 1.48 Bulgaria: 1.56 Romania: 1.60 Albania: 1.58 You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators." Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Stationed here in the 80's. A sick country with sick minds, even 40 years after the war. The allies were too easy on this garbage during and after the war. You cannot take the nazi out of this wretched population..
As a woman of color, I have always been attracted to this subject, and have torrents of tears rolling down my face. This all makes me very sad, and so apologetic this went on, and NO ONE stepped in to save these people. Being a Christian, I love all things about Israel and this just bothers me. These people that worked in these camps were just sick and the worst of humanity. How could anyone treat another human as they did ? I am so very sorry, so sorry. May they all Rest In Peace . Thank you for this, I love your channel, your work is indeed accomplished and GOOD.
@@kerkebrand4085 My friend, I think what the lady is saying is that no one was actually able to step into the concentration camps, and liberate those poor souls, until it was almost too late and were only able to do so, after thousands of people were murdered. x
@@kerkebrand4085 actually someone did try to save thousands of Jews destined to be murdered in the death camps. His name was Count Bernadott of Sweden who saved ten times more Jews than Schindler. And for his troubles he was shot and killed by the Jewish terror gangs like the Irgun and the Lehi.
Thanks. I have personally visited Bergen Belsen, Natzwieler, and Dachu. As well as the local labour camp outside the village I lived in for a year. A documentary about how the camp system worked I think would be helpful in getting the truth out there. Sorry for spelling it’s been thirty years since I was in Germany and travelled the country. I lived near Rastadt the birth place of Ann Frank.
A great sadness for humanity,well presented,perfectly deliver'd and a cold clarity to keep hearts from beaking.Ive a feeling i know that voice..This bunch dint get away with murder tho.Thanks for the hard work etc.
I remember reading that these monsters had a sort of formula figured out for keeping the pyres burning. A certain percentage of bodies had to have body fat on them in order to feed the fire.
The British had their Concentration Camps in Suid Afrika during the Boer War; which resulted in the deaths of many civilians-non combatants-women and children, the old and the young.
Nice voice work. It's a challenging subject to cover. Both my sets of Grand Parents ended up in that war, fighting the Nazi's. War sucks. Remember next time you think things can't be any worse.They can. Terrible people have been murdering one another from the beginning. That wasn't a long time ago. I had this Professor back in college who liked me. I liked him too. His deep booming voice. Classic old fashioned glasses. Thick White hair and beard and always dressed for court. He was like a character right out of Fiddler on the Roof. His classes were not easy. This guy knew his sh!t. He would call you out. He would make you laugh. He was cool. One time he said to me, "Sometimes, what we think is a big deal... isn't. When it is, you'll know. Are you going to go with the flow? Are you going to swim upstream, against the current. You can quit anytime you want to. But! You don't. You keep on going. That's how you make it. You just keep on Chug a lugging!" Then he checked his watch, and when he did, I saw his tattoo on his wrist. He noticed my eyes had fixated on it. I said, "I'm sorry." and he says. "Don't be. It wasn't you. My watch usually covers it up." Then gave me his wrist so I could see the whole set of numbers poking out from under his watch band. We're standing on a busy staircase and students are moving by us. But, I'm pretty affected. I looked up into his eyes, which were very deep brown, like mine. I could see an astonishing sorrow. I looked away and I got choked up and he just put his hand on my shoulder and he smiled the most genuine smile ever. His eyes smiled. "I'm still here." Then he tapped his watch and said. "See! I gotta keep on chug a lugging!" He walked down the stairs. It freaked me out. What a badass that man he was. He was a German Jew and he was at several camps. He and his sister were the only ones from their family to make it. Pretty intense. His name was Dr. Antz Llepps. I am truly grateful to have known him.
What a wonderful strong man the professor was. You are so very lucky to have him in your life even for a short amount of time. It seems that you learned alot of great things from him about life and what's important. Good for you. It sounds as if you're a great person yourself.
It's happening again in America. It's just a matter of time people are blind. He hate has changed. It's directed towards transgender people and others demonized by the political right Republicans.
Incorrect. Saddest moment of mankind’s history is more accurately described as the moment the Allied powers allowed the Soviet Union to commit mass murder by covering up their crimes and blaming Germany. Wait, the most saddest moment of mankind would be allowing the Soviet Union to sit on the Nuremberg trials. Wait no, the most saddest moment in mankind’s history is the allied powers ignoring the 20 million Russians the Soviet Union Lenin and Stalin regime murdered before WWII.
I had an old friend of mine Who was in an assisted living Facility and he met an elderly German man who fought in WW2 on the German/Nazi side. He told my friend, with great pride, "Yes, we lost the war ,but we killed a whole lot of Jews!!!! True story ... So yeah, they're still living among us... Evil does exist but please remember, that Love is the most important thing in the Universe despite what these monsters did. I wish Jesus would come back and set the world right!! We need it Desperately. God bless you all.❤
Another awesome documentary. If you do a follow up, include Gustav Wagner. He was a complete psychopath and deputy commander of Sobibor. Discovered in Brazil 1980.
While living in Virginia I had the privilege to meet a survivor of the camps, he was a child when there and still had his tattoo. He was very good at locating a person's heart by their personalities. He was a gentleman but strong.
Fantastic video - as morbid as it is interesting. Just a thinkf of note - the guy singing the Treblinka song isn't a survivor, he was a prepetrator by the name of Franz Suchomel.
It is uncommon to have a poster that can be bothered to respond to comments. I like your honest and no nonsense aproach. I find it strange that some people still harp on that this never happened...They probably think the world is flat and global warming is a Chinese invention. Thanks for your post Big thumbs up.
With regards to your comment concerning education, we visited Auschwitz and Auschwitz Birkenau a few years ago and took our then 23 year old son. The true depths of man's inhumanity to man are beyond comprehension.
To say these people were sadists before they entered the camps is questionable. Evidence seems to suggest that it was the power, lack of rules and attitude to the inmates that turned normal people into brutal criminals.
Some of them were sadists, the job attracted them. But you are right, many of us given endless power would become beasts, something we don’t want to admit. There’s famous Milgram Experiment showing this process, innocent students becoming oppressors. There were also other experiments with people playing guards and prisoners, it’s scary what comes out of us if circumstances allow.
A common hypothetical question is "What would you do if you were God for a day?". At first, they shrug, then they answer something like, "I would cure all diseases, I would heal the world and make it a better place, I would bring peace to all countries and peoples." Well, these people and thousands like them were gods not for a day, but for years, and this is what they did. Absolute power not only corrupts absolutely, it also raises the beast within from its slumber. And I fear this beast sleeps in all of us, so it's up to us to tame and control it. Love you right back, DiD.
You presented it so clearly. So true and so scary. We who say “I’d never do such evil” are exactly those who, if the wind is right, might do it. Those accountants, clerks, farmers would have never guessed what might become of them when they join the SS, get nice uniforms and people to rule.
We all like to think that we would behave differently to these Nazis, yet the fact that so many could turn to such evil tends to disprove this notion. Which one of us, put in the same situation as these Germans, given the same upbringing, exposed to the same indoctrination, surrounded by everyone being bathed in the same culture can truly say we would have stood up against it against your friends? Are you SURE?
New subscriber here, I absolutely love your content. So well done and interesting, can't wait to watch more of your content 😁 These people are so depraved, thank you for covering the horrors of the world. 🙏
@@DiD86 Thank you very much for the wonderful, informative and tactfully done video. We need to be made aware of these atrocities if not for anything else but to understand humanity. It will happen again. It's happening all over the world. America is going through the beginnings of it now.
14:45 just a note regarding the video of the Treblinka song linked in the description, this is not sung by a survivor as stated, but by Nazi SS officer Franz Suchomel.
Thank You for an Important, and Informative video. It's important to identify these Evil creatures. I'll watch all the parts. Extremely Well Done video.
I have just discovered this history channel and find the documentaries rather better and more listenable than several others on the subject (notably "The Untold Past") for their narration in excellent English, intonation and more in-depth content.
He also scared an actual survivor of the ghetto/camp to the point the poor woman almost had a heart attack because Ralph Fiennes looked that much like Göth in costume/makeup
Excellent video sir…. I really enjoyed learning about these monsters and their fates.. i subscribed and will watch more of your content.. i am a fan sir.. thank you..
@@thedragonboss109 it would be interesting to debate this issue for once. Oh wait, I did that with the leading American expert. The caveat being I disguised who I was and the intent of my call. What a revelation it was.
My uncle died shot down over France. Another was a boy and ran down a London street while being shot at by a pilot. He loved Germany and the rest of the family mocked him for it.
My father was Ukrainian and a prisoner in Flossenburg concentration camp 1941 to 1945. He told me that the guards that were German were kind and that the nastiest gaurds were Ukrainian and Romanian. My father actually liked the German soldiers. My father liked Germany and the German people (he married my mother, who was an Austrian orphan raised in Germany during ww2.
Thank you so much for reading the title cards! I teared up while listening! Thank you! For the first man, Schindler's list was indication enough of his brutality. But to actually have a more detailed view of the crimes he commited makes me want to recoil. I also loved how if one had listened to your video about Treblinka, they would be familiar with some of the evidence presented here. The crimes those people committed are so heinous that one cannot help but wander: Is this truly a part of human nature? Such capability for such acts?
Schindler's list is hollywood fiction. All of the "evidence" in mockumentaries like this is always unreliable storytelling that is usually absurd on the face of it. But I guess people love to believe in nonsense like masturbation machines and shotgun barrels that bend like a tom and jerry cartoon.
@@spiritsplice I am well aware that Schindler's list is not a documentary that stays completely accurate to historical events. It is a fictional movie based on real events and of course that means that it will have to adopt some creative license. However to call it anything other than a movie inspired by real historical events that is littered with harsh imagery as it should be, is to my belief a disrespect over the work of all of the people who presented this movie. Of course you can not like it. There are many people who do not like it. If you wants to have cruel realism and actually watch a documentary about world war 2 I suggest: Night a d Fog 32 minutes of pure actual footage of the horrors of the camps And then there is Shoah. The masterpiece that took more than 10 years to complete and is actually several hours long.
@@TheUsagiNew. It isn't remotely accurate in any way at all. All of it is fake history. It isn't based on real events. It is based on the delusional fiction of imaginary persecution.
Based on decades of unpleasant experiences, largely due to being born disfigured and disabled - I’d say the vast majority of people are capable of similar levels of evil behavior.
I just found your channel, very interesting. Living in the Pacific Northwest, thinking back if I lived in Germany at that time. How horrible it would be..... I hope history never repeats itself. I'll be looking forward, on some of your more content.
New to channel ... my friend you present these horrific crimes in such a way ... amazing keep up the good work ...see you have quite a few playlists to delve into ... im looking forward to it ...
Fantastic video D.I.D. Subbed and notified. How about some longer WW2 videos? Say 2-3 hrs? Lovin the content and that smooth voice, keep up the great work! "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it." - Santayana
I think the eventual Auschwitz video will certainly be in that ballpark. The script is in progress with everything I know so far, but won’t be complete until after I actually visit the place. I feel that it definitely needs on-site research for that one. As for other topics, if I feel I can write sufficiently without waffling, then I will happily have longer episodes. 👌🏻 Thank you for the sub, I really appreciate it. 😇
❤ Thanks for this video! Very Educational. I do not believe that all these guards responsible for these atrocities have been captured. I would like to see more done to seek out these perpetrators whether they be in their nineties... And see them brought to Justice..
History shows that it wasn't just the Nazis who were depraved... British concentration camps, camps in civil war America and the camps in the former Yugoslavia sunk to similar depravity...
Would you please tell us where the British Gas chambers were in those camp. The consent ration camp in the South African were where people were concentrated to keep them under control to deplete the Boers ranks. Yes they were cruel places but there were no mass exterminations. Don’t twist history.
New to this channel, just popped up in my recommendations (yikes what does that say about my life). I really appreciate you and the work you put into all of this.
We never had lockdown. I work retail and was grateful for my job. We did as we wanted . Just wash your hands and practice proper hygiene. Masks did nothing. We will never allow the government to do this again.
I occasionally meet these subhuman types. I say they are exactly the type that worked as guards. No matter how often one hears these story's the horror is beyond comprehension.
Subhumans are all they were/are. Goth will answer on judgement day for all his horrors. Nothing I’ve read about but what I experienced after a near death accident many years ago.
A lot of people seem to think that most Nazis escaped justice. After the war, more than two million German SS and regular military personnel ended up in Soviet POW camps. The SS personnel were served justice with some executed for war crimes and others sent to Siberia as common criminals. Of the regular non-SS prisoners, none were sent to Siberia unless convicted as war criminals. Regular POWs were given tied jobs in western Russian and East European cities to rebuild after the Nazi destruction. A few decided to return home, but many settled in their new homes, married local women and got on with their lives. We only hear of the SS criminals that escaped justice in the West, but countless numbers were brought to account in the USSR.

Yeah but they live in Israel now.
Absolutely. Most of them wear black hoodies and burn cities.
Uh I don’t think so.. might be one rolling past us in a wheelchair somewhere but that’s about all 😂😂😂
An important detail that is easily overlooked among the horrors is that guards were not forced to work in the camps: they could decline and return to normal combat duties, probably on the Nazi-Soviet Front. Meanwhile the Nazi government became so obsessed with its war of annihilation that men were taken from the front lines to increase the rate of murder until the last days of the war. Old men and boys were left to defend their families and the remains of their homes from the Red Army because the soldiers were doing the "far more important" work of genocide.
Thus ensuring Nazi Germany's inevitable defeat
Their obsession with the Jews had a lot to do with their own downfall.
How quickly they forgot how many Jews fought for their German homeland only twenty years earlier.
That’s not why they lost
300,000 SS men ran the camps.
Just think of what is happening to the White House within . What’s there Goal???
Had nightmares for quite some time as a child. My school taught us and showed documentaries that were not censored. A particular scene plagued my mind as I watched bulldozers moving mountains of the starved and naked bodies into organized piles. Bodies were treated like slabs of concrete and this image stays with me till this day, and amongst all the things that I have been unfortunate enough to witness, this image is still one of the most haunting. It is way beyond me to even begin to comprehend how humans can inflict the kind of horrors that they do to one another.

I can't get over how good your videos are. So much detail, so much research and great narration. One of the top channels on you tube hands down. Outstanding!!
Thank you. 😁😁😁
@@DiD86❤❤❤Thank you i wish you were my history teacher
Thank you for covering this topic for future generations. It is critical that we all never let these creatures and their actions go unknown. Though many of these men and women met their eventual end, the evil and suffering that they inflicted should never be forgotten or denied.
Who will teach our children about the evils of the Zionist Jews who terrorized an entire nation and stole their lands. Who will make the Israelis responsible for murdering thousands of innocent Palestinians in Gaza during the infamous "cast lead" action ?
Putin ☠️
Indeed.......and the 1918 allies who helped the Nazi powergrab to succeed.
The problem is that many Germans want to play the victim part and expect us, sound people, to forget about their atrocities. To them it's only me, me, me. It's how we were raped, we were bombed, we were humiliated...... Never what they did to the Jews, Poles, Russians, children, handicapped people, Jehovah Witnesses, Roma people......
@PAULLONDEN Funny how no one ever details how American industries profited from the Nazis before we were forced to get involved.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -George Santayana
Never Again.
never again... unless it's jews killing palestinians...
And we are now doing just that
Happens over and over.
Never again my rotten dirty mouldy toe nails
Bosnia, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and so on
I remember learning of the Holocaust when I was 13. My little young mind couldn't understand why or how this stain on the history of humanity happened. I never understood how one man could lead a nation to do such atrocious things. I remember telling my teacher and asking "doesn't this seem to horrible to actually have happened??? What if it's just a horror story???" I was crying as I asked. The teacher explained to me that yes it did happen it was real and we teach this moment of history to hope it never happens again. I was also happy to learn that not all Germans took part of the atrocious things and some tried to help fight the third Reich. The stories of those that fought back and those that risked everything to save so many touched my heart yet my heart remained broken that the Nazis did this and got away with it for so many years. I remember the field trip to the Holocaust museum and how sad and dark it was. May the many victims rest in peace.
So many 100s of millions of humans murdered before Hitler murdered Jewish people. It continues globally as there's never ever been peace on Earth 😭.
Hope more programs like this are posted
@@leondole813 Putin is doing it now and his cronies ☠️☠️
I still don't understand, the so called most powerful nation on the earth has too killed many innocent people in wars they have fought in name of freedom and democracy. Why dont people see that too. Why moral policing everywhere? People should also see that as monstrosity.
@@leondole813 I think humans are incapable of being peaceful.
We can only hope horrors like this will continue to be taught so as to never be repeated. Thank you for posting.
Amen!

You can do more than just hope…
Ohemgee
It's happening 2day!!! Wtf u think this vaxeen is??? U df!
As long as there is Humanity....there is brutality.
It is so sad that every guard, every SS officer, every Nazi soldier that served at all of those camps were not caught and executed. Far too many monsters got away.
Yeah and NASA is responsible for taking in many Nazi scientists😮
They reserve eve hanging for the worst of the worst. There’s no point in executing everyone. Otherwise we are no different than they are.
Far too many govts employeed those monsters who seemed to "disappear"
Am I wrong in assuming you'd stand in line to shake obamas hand whom ordered the bombing of tens of thousands of innocent men women and children?
They are all scumbags
Gitta Sereny’s book on Stangl is fascinating. As was her take on the banality of evil. She didn’t like the phrase because it was far too simple. The frightening truth is that Stangl ‘organised’ Treblinka to be efficient. That’s fairly terrifying.
Yes, just because someone isn’t outwardly sadistic, does not mean they are not capable of being thoroughly evil.
@@DiD86 I agree. But, on the four occasions he asked for a transfer from Treblinka to the Russian front; they threatened his family. What would you have done? Evil is rarely black and white. And if you pigeon-hole it, you will be responsible for it happening again. Sereny’s point.
Treblinka was colder than Auschwitz.
must watch "One Third of the Holocaust". Sereny is a liar
Thank you for this eye-opening video of Nazi guards and officers who worked at those hellish places in Europe. It is astounding and disgusting how so many people stopped to those depths of depravity.
This guy was so bad even the state had to kick him out of his job. Just goes to show how chance events can sometimes uncover the true depravity of man.
And now Putin, who I see you all ignore, if he conquers Ukraine we're gonna have another WW2 all over again
Very well done with just the right combination of information and appropriate disdain.
It's so gratifying to hear a presenter correctly pronouncing historical terms. Most, especially American ones, (but not all) are lamentable in their lazy attempts

Hard to believe all this happened less than a century ago.
Very hard.
harder to belive the ones that lived lived to do it to the good Palestinan ppl

Thank you for making this video. It was very informative and something everyone should watch. I also enjoyed your narration. Your dry wit made me smile a couple of times, even while discussing such a horrendous topic.
My pleasure. I’m very glad you liked it. 👍🏻
I can't imagine being a survivor at the Nuremberg trials, looking at the head guard/warden that you mentioned, and see him sitting there w his chest out and then say that he was never there.. like look at me. Take a good look at me and tell me you have never been there. I was one of the "dogs" you told your men to round up for execution.. I just imagine any survivor there hearing him say that felt so disrespected and angry that they couldn't contain themselves and possibly blurted something out cuz they want him having zero chances of freedom, whether that day or after a 40 year sentence. Death or life in the most inhumane conditions(Alabama prison system) are the only fitting punishment.
Thank you from the Netherlands.
We all know how wrong the Nazi's were but I soke up everything from this bad part of history.
You are doing such a great Job and together with Dr Mike Felton you are the only historians that pronounce all the names right.
That is important.
Thank you for your work.

Some of my Dad Fred White's family members died in the Holocaust. My Dad, Fred White was born on April 23, 1917, and he was in the NAVY during World War 2. There are exhibits at some of the museums for documents that are kept on file for family members of people who died in the Holocaust. There is also a genealogy research library at some of the Jewish centers.
My Dad, Fred White's gravesite is located at Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, New York in Long Island.
It was the darkest hour in the History of Germany. My Grandfather served in the Reichswehr 1918-1932 from then on in the Wehrmacht until 06.25.1941 only days after the start of "Barbarossa". He was shocked after he wittnessed the murdering of civilians in the War against Poland and has started to ask questions. In 1941 he was Oberleutnant and the Order he received for Barbarossa were absolutely horrifique and he refused the Order. He spent the Rest of the War in 4 different KZ. He luckily survived the War but my Grandmother told me he never again was the Man she once married. He never told me spezifics but it was easy to remarke his sadness and his feeling of betrayal by the Country he loved so much. Requiescat in Pace my dear Opa❤
What people always seem to forget/overlook is that these were regular people the same as us. They just reflect what alot of us can become if put under the right circumstances
If by regular people you mean sadist, with the exception of ss members who were in it from the beginning and there was no other jobs for them beside concentration camps, all of these people were sadist and fully believed in nazi ideals. They joined the non combat branch of the ss, they weren’t regular people
They fell for xenophobic conspiracies just like FOX viewers do today.
"His youthful head was quickly filled with the extreme right-wing ideals of the interwar years....quickly gaining notoriety for his staunch commitment to the 'cause''." That's not everybody. That's not regular people. That's the brand of people who would follow somebody like Trump all the way to insurrection and genocide. It's people who would volunteer for the SS and decorate their funny suits with patches like "Right Wing Death Squad."
When you say that "these were regular people like us," are you referring to the Nazis or the Jews?
I will never hurt no one
Very well produced video of what still remains, a horrific topic. It's also well worth remembering the actions of the Einsatzgruppen that preceded the this stage of the Holocaust and a particularly twisted and sick individual by the name of Oskar Dirlewanger, a senior officer in the SS. That in itself would make a suitable Descent Into Darkness
The Einsatzgruppen will definitely be getting their own video in the not too distant future.
Maybe Dirlewanger eventually.
Make sure you talk about partisans, commissars and Marxist who weren't Soviet soldiers who were killed by the German army.
@@DiD86 How about a segment on Yad Vashem's director Yitzak Arad's book "The Partisan" where he admits to murdering dozens of Lithuanian boys to keep them from joining the oncoming German Army??? Or does that topic sour your gefilte fish???
Amon Goethes execution got botched a couple times before he died. Mr Wood did a fine job
Goth was executed in Poland by the Pole.
Could have been much more gruesome. Gas&fire and then stamped out. He would still be alive today somehow if I had my way…
I always snicker when they say Woods "botched " the hangings. Something tells me he knew exactly what he was doing.
All these people were diabolical monsters. When I lived in Germany in the 70s . The german people still held a lot of animosity towards people they fought in WW2. I didnt know as a kid how many of these type of people were still living and probably around me. Sickening
Exactly the same happened to me when I was there on the
60s! They hated all other Nations
because they lost the war, and
not repentant of the tragedies
they caused!

You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators."

@Donnell0303 yes at first the Americans thought they were being rude. They had a military mindset drilled into them from a young age.
Stationed here in the 80's. A sick country with sick minds, even 40 years after the war. The allies were too easy on this garbage during and after the war. You cannot take the nazi out of this wretched population..
As a woman of color, I have always been attracted to this subject, and have torrents of tears rolling down my face. This all makes me very sad, and so apologetic this went on, and NO ONE stepped in to save these people. Being a Christian, I love all things about Israel and this just bothers me. These people that worked in these camps were just sick and the worst of humanity. How could anyone treat another human as they did ? I am so very sorry, so sorry. May they all Rest In Peace . Thank you for this, I love your channel, your work is indeed accomplished and GOOD.
no one stepped in ? pretty sure a good numbre of people were involved in fighting and defeating the nazi regime but idk..
@@kerkebrand4085 My friend, I think what
the lady is saying is that no one was actually able to step into the concentration camps, and liberate those poor souls, until it was almost too late and were only able to do so, after thousands of people were murdered. x
You do realize there are concentration camps and horrible human suffering right now? Are you stepping in to save those people? Think before you judge.
How can you not have the same compassion for the victims of the Jewish Zionists against the innocent Palestinians ?
@@kerkebrand4085 actually someone did try to save thousands of Jews destined to be murdered in the death camps. His name was Count Bernadott of Sweden who saved ten times more Jews than Schindler. And for his troubles he was shot and killed by the Jewish terror gangs like the Irgun and the Lehi.
Excellent verbal presentation, and a good pace for the pictures. Time to reflect on the content and the faces. Man's world at its worst.
Thanks. I have personally visited Bergen Belsen, Natzwieler, and Dachu. As well as the local labour camp outside the village I lived in for a year. A documentary about how the camp system worked I think would be helpful in getting the truth out there.
Sorry for spelling it’s been thirty years since I was in Germany and travelled the country. I lived near Rastadt the birth place of Ann Frank.
Best VO of any war doc I've ever seen, even with the flat production. Absolute legendary & seamless UK to German accent transition.
A great sadness for humanity,well presented,perfectly deliver'd and a cold clarity to keep hearts from beaking.Ive a feeling i know that voice..This bunch dint get away with murder tho.Thanks for the hard work etc.
I remember reading that these monsters had a sort of formula figured out for keeping the pyres burning. A certain percentage of bodies had to have body fat on them in order to feed the fire.
The British had their Concentration Camps in Suid Afrika during the Boer War; which resulted in the deaths of many civilians-non combatants-women and children, the old and the young.
Yes they did. But contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t the first instance of their use.
@@DiD86 please enlighten me!
And Boer wounded were stabed to death by the british and saying " exellent pig sticking ".
My father was a regular visitor to Germany in the forties, he absolutely loved it.
He served with RAF bomber command.
Great video..... its such an eye opener on how cruel man kind can be to one an other.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder. We need to be working to reduce the incidence.
Nice voice work. It's a challenging subject to cover. Both my sets of Grand Parents ended up in that war, fighting the Nazi's. War sucks.
Remember next time you think things can't be any worse.They can. Terrible people have been murdering one another from the beginning. That wasn't a long time ago.
I had this Professor back in college who liked me. I liked him too. His deep booming voice. Classic old fashioned glasses. Thick White hair and beard and always dressed for court. He was like a character right out of Fiddler on the Roof. His classes were not easy. This guy knew his sh!t. He would call you out. He would make you laugh. He was cool.
One time he said to me, "Sometimes, what we think is a big deal... isn't. When it is, you'll know. Are you going to go with the flow? Are you going to swim upstream, against the current. You can quit anytime you want to. But! You don't. You keep on going. That's how you make it. You just keep on Chug a lugging!" Then he checked his watch, and when he did, I saw his tattoo on his wrist. He noticed my eyes had fixated on it. I said, "I'm sorry." and he says. "Don't be. It wasn't you. My watch usually covers it up." Then gave me his wrist so I could see the whole set of numbers poking out from under his watch band. We're standing on a busy staircase and students are moving by us. But, I'm pretty affected. I looked up into his eyes, which were very deep brown, like mine. I could see an astonishing sorrow. I looked away and I got choked up and he just put his hand on my shoulder and he smiled the most genuine smile ever. His eyes smiled. "I'm still here." Then he tapped his watch and said. "See! I gotta keep on chug a lugging!" He walked down the stairs. It freaked me out.
What a badass that man he was. He was a German Jew and he was at several camps. He and his sister were the only ones from their family to make it. Pretty intense.
His name was Dr. Antz Llepps. I am truly grateful to have known him.
What a lovely story bless him !
😢😢😢This hurt me so deep!!! I'm so very grateful for you, you both may be blessed! From the Netherlands with love 😭🫶🏻✡️🇮🇱💜🥀🙏🏻
That's so sad.
Thank you for sharing your story. God Bless🙏
What a wonderful strong man the professor was. You are so very lucky to have him in your life even for a short amount of time. It seems that you learned alot of great things from him about life and what's important. Good for you. It sounds as if you're a great person yourself.
The event that is one of the saddest in mankind's history
It's happening again in America. It's just a matter of time people are blind. He hate has changed. It's directed towards transgender people and others demonized by the political right Republicans.
Incorrect.
Saddest moment of mankind’s history is more accurately described as the moment the Allied powers allowed the Soviet Union to commit mass murder by covering up their crimes and blaming Germany.
Wait, the most saddest moment of mankind would be allowing the Soviet Union to sit on the Nuremberg trials.
Wait no, the most saddest moment in mankind’s history is the allied powers ignoring the 20 million Russians the Soviet Union Lenin and Stalin regime murdered before WWII.
I had an old friend of mine Who was in an assisted living Facility and he met an elderly German man who fought in WW2 on the German/Nazi side. He told my friend, with great pride, "Yes, we lost the war ,but we killed a whole lot of Jews!!!! True story ... So yeah, they're still living among us... Evil does exist but please remember, that Love is the most important thing in the Universe despite what these monsters did. I wish Jesus would come back and set the world right!! We need it Desperately. God bless you all.❤
Thanks for giving us an in sight into these people it makes me look a little closer and pay a little more attention
Thank you so very much for your latest story. You put so much work into your stories, I love listening to your voice. 👍👍👍
Thank you.
Have you checked out the new channel? Going to be uploading a new video to that one today.
Heartbreaking. The punishment they received for their crimes was not enough. TY for sharing and educating
Another awesome documentary.
If you do a follow up, include Gustav Wagner. He was a complete psychopath and deputy commander of Sobibor. Discovered in Brazil 1980.
Cheers for the tip, I’ll put him on the list for volume 2.
While living in Virginia I had the privilege to meet a survivor of the camps, he was a child when there and still had his tattoo. He was very good at locating a person's heart by their personalities. He was a gentleman but strong.
To the narrator: You sound amazingly like actor Richard Burton! I at first thought you WERE Mr. Burton.
You’re not the first to make that comparison and it is indeed one hell of a compliment. 😇 thank you.
Fantastic video - as morbid as it is interesting. Just a thinkf of note - the guy singing the Treblinka song isn't a survivor, he was a prepetrator by the name of Franz Suchomel.
Ah! Thanks for letting me know, I’ll put that in a pinned comment as a correction.
Thanks for the tip off.
When you look at the atrocities committed since then, it shows that we've learned nothing...
Sadly not.
And history repeats.
And repeats.
It is uncommon to have a poster that can be bothered to respond to comments. I like your honest and no nonsense aproach. I find it strange that some people still harp on that this never happened...They probably think the world is flat and global warming is a Chinese invention. Thanks for your post Big thumbs up.
Thank you. 😁
With regards to your comment concerning education, we visited Auschwitz and Auschwitz Birkenau a few years ago and took our then 23 year old son. The true depths of man's inhumanity to man are beyond comprehension.
True dat! I’m hoping to visit there myself this year.
To say these people were sadists before they entered the camps is questionable. Evidence seems to suggest that it was the power, lack of rules and attitude to the inmates that turned normal people into brutal criminals.
Exactly, but most people like the overly-simplistic idea that they were just evil through-and-through because it sits better with them
Some of them were sadists, the job attracted them. But you are right, many of us given endless power would become beasts, something we don’t want to admit. There’s famous Milgram Experiment showing this process, innocent students becoming oppressors. There were also other experiments with people playing guards and prisoners, it’s scary what comes out of us if circumstances allow.
A common hypothetical question is "What would you do if you were God for a day?". At first, they shrug, then they answer something like, "I would cure all diseases, I would heal the world and make it a better place, I would bring peace to all countries and peoples." Well, these people and thousands like them were gods not for a day, but for years, and this is what they did. Absolute power not only corrupts absolutely, it also raises the beast within from its slumber. And I fear this beast sleeps in all of us, so it's up to us to tame and control it.
Love you right back, DiD.
Very eloquently put! 😇
You presented it so clearly. So true and so scary. We who say “I’d never do such evil” are exactly those who, if the wind is right, might do it. Those accountants, clerks, farmers would have never guessed what might become of them when they join the SS, get nice uniforms and people to rule.
@@piotrtarkowski8595 Nobody is immune to evil. And lessons are learnt only to be forgotten frightfully quickly.
We all like to think that we would behave differently to these Nazis, yet the fact that so many could turn to such evil tends to disprove this notion. Which one of us, put in the same situation as these Germans, given the same upbringing, exposed to the same indoctrination, surrounded by everyone being bathed in the same culture can truly say we would have stood up against it against your friends?
Are you SURE?
I would say Don’t speak such utter nonsense. Nobody is god, god is not even god.
It's so important that you would expose these low-life dirtbags how can anybody say this never happened when the evidence is overwhelming
Cognitive dissonance.
Stupid people don’t know they’re stupid.

Glad you enjoyed it!
14:45 just a note regarding the video of the Treblinka song linked in the description, this is not sung by a survivor as stated, but by Nazi SS officer Franz Suchomel.
Thank You for an Important, and Informative video. It's important to identify these Evil creatures. I'll watch all the parts. Extremely Well Done video.
I have just discovered this history channel and find the documentaries rather better and more listenable than several others on the subject (notably "The Untold Past") for their narration in excellent English, intonation and more in-depth content.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate you saying so. :)
Ralph Fines really scared me in this role.
He also scared an actual survivor of the ghetto/camp to the point the poor woman almost had a heart attack because Ralph Fiennes looked that much like Göth in costume/makeup

I came here for the video, staying for the comments and all you history experts
We have to preserve this for all the generations to come.
My father was Ukrainian and a prisoner in Flossenburg concentration camp 1941 to 1945. He told me that the guards that were German were kind and that the nastiest gaurds were Ukrainian and Romanian. My father actually liked the German soldiers. My father liked Germany and the German people (he married my mother, who was an Austrian orphan raised in Germany during ww2.
Thank you so much for reading the title cards! I teared up while listening! Thank you!
For the first man, Schindler's list was indication enough of his brutality. But to actually have a more detailed view of the crimes he commited makes me want to recoil.
I also loved how if one had listened to your video about Treblinka, they would be familiar with some of the evidence presented here.
The crimes those people committed are so heinous that one cannot help but wander: Is this truly a part of human nature? Such capability for such acts?
Schindler's list is hollywood fiction. All of the "evidence" in mockumentaries like this is always unreliable storytelling that is usually absurd on the face of it. But I guess people love to believe in nonsense like masturbation machines and shotgun barrels that bend like a tom and jerry cartoon.
@@spiritsplice I am well aware that Schindler's list is not a documentary that stays completely accurate to historical events. It is a fictional movie based on real events and of course that means that it will have to adopt some creative license. However to call it anything other than a movie inspired by real historical events that is littered with harsh imagery as it should be, is to my belief a disrespect over the work of all of the people who presented this movie. Of course you can not like it. There are many people who do not like it. If you wants to have cruel realism and actually watch a documentary about world war 2 I suggest: Night a d Fog
32 minutes of pure actual footage of the horrors of the camps
And then there is Shoah. The masterpiece that took more than 10 years to complete and is actually several hours long.
@@TheUsagiNew. It isn't remotely accurate in any way at all. All of it is fake history. It isn't based on real events. It is based on the delusional fiction of imaginary persecution.
All humans have depravity within......some have more than others.
Based on decades of unpleasant experiences, largely due to being born disfigured and disabled - I’d say the vast majority of people are capable of similar levels of evil behavior.
The world is going crazy … scary to think of the saying: “History repeats itself.” The USA needs a new President and new government.
Very good posting. Truly horrifying.
I just found your channel, very interesting. Living in the Pacific Northwest, thinking back if I lived in Germany at that time. How horrible it would be.....
I hope history never repeats itself.
I'll be looking forward, on some of your more content.
New to channel ... my friend you present these horrific crimes in such a way ... amazing keep up the good work ...see you have quite a few playlists to delve into ... im looking forward to it ...
Thank you. Welcome aboard!
Fantastic video D.I.D. Subbed and notified. How about some longer WW2 videos? Say 2-3 hrs? Lovin the content and that smooth voice, keep up the great work!
"Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it." - Santayana
I think the eventual Auschwitz video will certainly be in that ballpark. The script is in progress with everything I know so far, but won’t be complete until after I actually visit the place. I feel that it definitely needs on-site research for that one.
As for other topics, if I feel I can write sufficiently without waffling, then I will happily have longer episodes. 👌🏻
Thank you for the sub, I really appreciate it. 😇
I think this is just what power does to weak persons
I remember having read that the real Ivan the Horrible was killed during the Sobibor uprising... but no matter, justice was served.
its really hard to catch my attention nowadays, but i really am enjoying your doc's! keep it up :)
This was great work!!!This history has to be remembered and passed on.the rise of wannabe dictators is surely concerning.
❤ Thanks for this video!
Very Educational.
I do not believe that all these guards responsible for these atrocities have been captured. I would like to see more done to seek out these perpetrators whether they be in their nineties... And see them brought to Justice..
Very well put together
History shows that it wasn't just the Nazis who were depraved... British concentration camps, camps in civil war America and the camps in the former Yugoslavia sunk to similar depravity...
Would you please tell us where the British Gas chambers were in those camp. The consent ration camp in the South African were where people were concentrated to keep them under control to deplete the Boers ranks. Yes they were cruel places but there were no mass exterminations. Don’t twist history.
It's very hard listening to how innocent people, that never committed any crimes, were slaughtered so mercilessly.
New to this channel, just popped up in my recommendations (yikes what does that say about my life). I really appreciate you and the work you put into all of this.

I agree. And let’s not forget what snitches get….
Human nature
We never had lockdown. I work retail and was grateful for my job. We did as we wanted . Just wash your hands and practice proper hygiene. Masks did nothing. We will never allow the government to do this again.
Oh my goodness, public health practices to curn the spread of a pandemic are not the same as Nazi snitching. Stop being ridiculous 😂
My ears cannot listen"relesed due to illness"...I really can't stand it,makes ME feel sick. Great job, great video.
So many of them didn’t deserve any compassion but then that’s what sets us apart from the savages.
I knew two people that went through this HELL, and they were the most wonderful people I have ever known.
Wow, very good work. Thank you
I occasionally meet these subhuman types. I say they are exactly the type that worked as guards. No matter how often one hears these story's the horror is beyond comprehension.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Subhumans are all they were/are. Goth will answer on judgement day for all his horrors. Nothing I’ve read about but what I experienced after a near death accident many years ago.
@@backagain5216 what do you mean by goth?
Love your stuff man. So so good, and your narration style add realism especially with the wonderfully done accents!
Cheers, mon ami!
Wonderful work.....looking forward to seeing more from you.
Fantastic video and series. Thank you! 👏🏻
There's at least one more episode to come, perhaps more!
A lot of people seem to think that most Nazis escaped justice. After the war, more than two million German SS and regular military personnel ended up in Soviet POW camps. The SS personnel were served justice with some executed for war crimes and others sent to Siberia as common criminals. Of the regular non-SS prisoners, none were sent to Siberia unless convicted as war criminals. Regular POWs were given tied jobs in western Russian and East European cities to rebuild after the Nazi destruction. A few decided to return home, but many settled in their new homes, married local women and got on with their lives. We only hear of the SS criminals that escaped justice in the West, but countless numbers were brought to account in the USSR.
A first-class video that is excellently narrated. Thank you.
