Another fabulous documentary by Werner Herzog. Dieter had such an amazing spirit. I love how he opens and closes the door and shows off his food stocks in his emergency provisions pantry. Growing up during WW2 you can feel his hunger and his determination. I must say the napalm scenes always has stood out in my memory with the Tuvan throat singing - the images and the sound were so peculiar and bizarre sounding. I've got to watch this documentary again. RIP Dieter! ❤ (My throat got tight when I saw the missing man formation fly over in the postscript! Hope you are flying through the clouds in Heaven Dieter!)
Dieters suicide proves that you can end your own life with dignity on your own terms. He was in control of his life and his own death. I don't mourn his passing. I respect his struggle to live and I respect his decision to die. Great man. I only lament that his great greatness is no longer with us.
Dieter and Duane were brothers. I felt really sad after knowing the fact that Duane was killed at just the age of 26years. They both were indeed brothers. True Bromance! It's sad, Duane's body wasn't recovered and his details are very limited. Did he have a family? What would have happened to that young man's body after nearly 40 years. I hope heaven is for real and both of them are together! Handsome brave men! Love you!
I found a note I had written to myself from about 10 years ago... it said to watch this documentary. I'm so thankful I finally did. Amazing story, amazing hero!! Wish I hadn't waited so long! Thank you.
Learning and retaining jungle survival primitive skills from his captors as displayed in this documentary is so darn impressive. May Dieter have peace and fortune in his eternity
@@NewKanyeFan how about how he talked about seeing his father on that path. I know it sounds crazy but I do believe that was his father on the other side guiding him. So when people say they don’t believe in angels, I have to say I really do.
Met Dieter from his book Escape from Laos, the most amazing read of the Vietnam war for me. This documentary captures his emotional return from a place few humans will ever experience. Herzog nails it. Both are hero's in my world. RIP Dieter
WOW...that was such a powerful statement...HAVING THE PRIVILEGE OF OPENING AND CLOSING A DOOR. HAVING THAT FREEDOM...GOOSEBUMPS! I never thought of it like that before cuz opening and closing the door is done mostly without even thinking about it, it's crazy to think we take that privilege for granted all the time. powerfull stuff
This man is a constant source of inspiration. We do not need Gods when men like Dieter walked the Earth. RIP Dieter. Christian Bale's performance was fitting tribute to this man's memory.
Ridiculous how many clicks other videos have, which were made after the movie 2006 till today. And they are all garbage, this one is gold!!! Grüße aus NRW
@@glenndouglas8822 That’s nice but I wish he would be more direct. “Shy artist” kind of thing perhaps … just oddly modest for a proposed Skull Lover …☠
@@glenndouglas8822 Turns out, rather disappointingly, that skullduggery may actually have nothing to do with skulls :( leave it to Merriam/Webster to be complete buzzkillers: “Skulduggery, which can also be spelled "skullduggery," was first documented in the mid-19th century spelled as "scull-duggery." Etymologists aren't sure exactly how the word arrived in English, but they do not believe it has anything to do with skulls. It is possibly derived from the now-very-rare "sculduddery," a term once used to refer to gross or lewd conduct, but unfortunately the origins of that word are also unknown” But ok, I guess I can live with the gross or lewd conduct as well, I mean, “a poirates loife fer me”. And all that …
Blown away by the courage and fortitude of this man. Can’t believe only 8.7k have watched this incredible story. The rest of the planet are missing out
Astounding. Reference to Herzog's movie "Rescue Dawn". I am reminded of another true story, from WW2: "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption" by Laura Hillenbrand (a phenomenal book). This planet gives rise to such extremes. Herzog is in a top class of his own.
Crazy I’ve driven by his house many of times on Mt Tam even went inside one time after a concert at The Cushing Memorial Amphitheater. Never knew who owned it or that it was in a documentary
Endearing and utterly priceless doc one of my all time favs of alltime. Good things can result from very bad just look at Vietnam now a powerhouse of SE Asia global manufacturing out competing China on prive, quality with rapid lead-times. My buddy Palmer from Austin has a factory and home there producing lamps for Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn Home. Its kudos to the strength solely of the Vietnamese people putting up with 150 years of Western invasions.
A beautiful documentary and testament to the Spirit within. I was in VA-145 aboard the Intrepid and knew of Dieter and his escape but never met him. His story and journey was beyond words. Great respect to Dieter.
So sad how he ended his life, i hope he researched his father and found out all he could about him during his war?, the picture to me looks like he has luftwaffe collar boards on a wehrmacht uniform?, he more than likely was a forward air controller, maybe where the interest in flying came from!!, its not about the uniform its about the type of man who's made to wear it, a very interesting if not complex man, who was forever troubled through his experience, RIP deiter....
@kellymurphy6642 unfortunately, it wasnt because of that. He had a desease that I dont know how to write in english and decided to not live with it. After all that, he had a terrible desease...tragic story. RIP.
@@enricomenconi7015 oh, your English is just fine I understand. I didn’t realize that I thought I read somewhere he took his own life. But that’s good to know. I’m gonna go look it up now. I’m glad he didn’t.
@@kellymurphy6642 It seems my english is not very good in the end 🤣 I meant that he took his own life, but not because of his past, because of his future; he found out he had a desease that I didnt know how to write in english. I searched and the name is Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. After the desease, he shot himself
@ no that was my dad and I figured that out but RUclips doesn’t make it easy to come back and edit after you made a post. I meant to come back and tell you yes I did understand what you were getting at once I did look it up that you meant he did kill himself, but because he had a bad diagnosis. Again, my bad.😂😂very sad indeed
Obviously, the story of the escape is absolutely breathtaking, but I am also extremely moved, when he shows the picture of his father in the Werhmacht uniform at the beginning. I dont know why it hits me so...
The nightmares and demons from his ordeal had never left him and he checked out on his own terms. Extraordinary life and remarkable survival story, but it would leave an indelible mark on anyone. Edit: He was also diagnosed with ALS sometime in 2001, which was probably another contributing factor. Requiescat in pace Dieter Dengler. We hope you have finally found your peace.
Hard to judge others with any real understanding of all the facts. If you have special powers no one else does, then congratulations! Otherwise, what's your point? Dieter's life alone stands for much honor on so many levels.

You will be remembered as a legend.

What a MASTERPIECE of a film. Respect for posting.
This video documents one of the bravest men who ever lived.

"We do not need Gods when men like Dieter walked the Earth". So beautifully put and I couldn't agree more.
We do need GOD who is Jesus christ though 😊
An Amazing story, a true courageous Hero. God Bless his Soul.

Them black and white oictures of him with his buddies crying...wow...Caught me off guard...just speechless....
Crazy I’ve driven by his house many of times on Mt Tam even went inside one time after a concert at The Cushing Memorial Amphitheater. Never knew who owned it or that it was in a documentary
Thank you for your service.
The inner flame of man can never be extinguished,I am amazed at how resilient we are.😘
This video worth more views!
Oh man seeing his dead father on the path. I really do believe in angels when I hear stuff like this.
Thanks!
this guy is very much a glass half full type of individual.
Excellent Documentary, watched the movie then this, 👌 amazing, thankyou
PTSD ain’t a joke nigga

Only after they repudiated Marxist doctrine, which makes the entire war ironic because they wound up embracing capitalism anyway.
A beautiful documentary and testament to the Spirit within. I was in VA-145 aboard the Intrepid and knew of Dieter and his escape but never met him. His story and journey was beyond words. Great respect to Dieter.
p51 mus-spitfire was my favourite plane
I used to fly B 52 Thunderbolts !! ✌😂
Open the door. I'm not dead yet. Though it's inevitable.

Emitional, a brave man.
anyone knows what they shot this on back then?
I just cant believe he killed himself
Yeah sad. He couldn’t get the demons out of his head. Just tragic.

The tone when he said “and my father.” 🥹utter sadness
This man went through all this, but committed suicide after having a successful life in America. Life, and death, eh?
The nightmares and demons from his ordeal had never left him and he checked out on his own terms.
Extraordinary life and remarkable survival story, but it would leave an indelible mark on anyone.
Edit: He was also diagnosed with ALS sometime in 2001, which was probably another contributing factor.
Requiescat in pace Dieter Dengler. We hope you have finally found your peace.
He was diagnosed with a progressive, debilitating, and incurable disease.

@@TerlinguaTalkeetna
I agree. 👍
What’s the name of the song at the end?
ruclips.net/video/peQvfHvRNUQ/видео.html
I read his book by pure chance.
2014
He should have signed that paper, it told the truth.
It turns out that 'Dieter Dengler' translates from German into English as 'Balls of Absolute Brass'.
Buckles sent me here
i want his house
P51 spitfire?
An American would be so traumatized by this and this German is just like “let me show you in great detail how they chained me up and tortured me”
18:25
THE most incredibly moving scene 😮😮😮my brain couldn’t handle the juxtaposition 🤯
"I like soldiers who weren't captured" Donald J Trump...
Fucking beautiful 👏🏻
