My great granddad fell during Barbarossa in 42. He wasn't involved in Stalingrad and was killed about 160 Km south of St. Petersburg but still, this hits different.
My grandgradfather fell during the Königsberg offensive in 1945. He was mobilised to the front in September 1941 during the battle for Moscow. He served as an artillerymen in Red Army.
@@uglukthemedicineman5933 And what exactly did the people gain? Almost 50 years of more pointless suffering under the tyranny of a new totallitarian oppressor, crushing the expressions of what people really want, freedom to decide for themselves, with an Iron fist. Only to fall to even that true will of the people in the end none the less. Countless people died, from the wars, from famine, from bad leadership. All for nothing. Nobody really gained anything from it. It was pointless bloodshed between two political ideologies that didn't stand the test of time anyway. Hell not only that, we almost eradicated ourselves with nuclear fire because of an stupid dick measuring contest that arrose from the fallout of ww2. Peoples will for freedom is like water, it may take it's time but eventually it find's a way. Tyrannies will always fall in the end. Either crushed under the weight of their own Ego or under the weight of their peoples will.

@@mind-blowing_tumbleweed You talk like the russians didnt destroy and commited several war crimes too. Not only did, but also had their own concentration camps.
Had a great great uncle get killed in the invasion of the soviet union. His unit was one of the ones later annihilated at Stalingrad. By all accounts his death was a mercy compared to what could have been. At least he got a full funeral and a gravesite.
It's sad that that's the way I feel about loved ones who've passed away before this whole madness that surrounded us today started, at least they had a decent burial and didn't have to witness this insanity. No matter what side they fought for, ww1 and ww2 were one of the biggest tragedies this continent has faced since the black plague, a lot of good people perished for nothing. The cultural and moral damage caused will take centuries to rebuild.
@@elatev4551 ww1 shouldn't have started. from there it was only down hill. ww2 is just a continuation of the first one. and for what? those were the best generation europe produced. thats when tradition, culture, heritage, all were lost in the trenches. germany was humiliated, austro-hungary got the long end of the stick and people all across the continent were poorer at the end of it. And this is from the place that was able to create extraordinary people to people squabbling to bet food and a roof over their heads.
@@rusu989 to be honest, I suppose WWI was a sort of an ivenitable event. There was a political crisis in Europe those days, and I guess, German Empire was looking for a reason to start such war. It was planned years before, because as time passed, GE forced Turkey and Italy to join that massacre. Major countres, such as GE, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Ottoman Empire felt themselves too tight in their lands, so GE, or any other "Big Player" could've start the war to gain territory, goods, influence or money
Listened only to this bad boy for 3 hours while playing Foxhole and i dont regret it. It complemented the atmosphere and made me feel worthless on the battlefield, giving me the REAL DOOMER EXPERIENCE. 10/10 would die again from mustard gas just to hear it
This is one of the most depressive things I've ever saw on YT... Just the fact that you don't hear soldiers, just the strong wind and the gunfire is terrifying. And this song fits the battle so well, i think Stalingrad was hell coming up to earth in that winter. We can't even imagine the feelings of the common soldier, freezing to death, starving and suffering in so many ways. Respect to the heroes of both sides, may you rest in peace... Home or on foreign land.
Thanks for the comment, we can only hope that world leaders remember the horrors of war and ensure the hell of Stalingrad or anything like it never happens again.
Nice audio. Truly a war doomer experience. By the way, (a genuine question) why do you or Jörmungandr etc do videos like this? I mean, is it simply to entertain or to give a sort of vision about what war really was like using music and sound effect? In any case, that's a refreshing format i've never seen before on RUclips. I even learn the existence of musics like these. Also, what video editing software do you use?
Thanks for the comment, well I cant speak for Jor but I like to do it as a creative outlet. Its interesting to set the music to a historical background that compliments it. Kinda gives a little feel for the time I guess. Its nothing serious, just a bit of fun. I really need to start again, things got busy. Also I use Photoshop/Premier Pro/Audacity
My great grandfather was in the 4th panzer division during stalingard. He mailed a letter to my great grandmother kaya who passed down to my grandma and then to my mom when she was a good age. I’ve since received the letter(s) and I’ve read them. I used to think war was about glory but after reading the story of a man who starved and froze inside his tank until it was destroyed truly has shaken my morale to enlist once I’m 18. I’m 16 now and I probably won’t enlist after reading the series of letters
If your great grandfather's letter stops one person from taking up arms against their fellow men, then it wasn't in vain. I hope, I think, he would be happy with that. War is a horrible thing, we should be working to stop war and stop the nationalist ideals that lead to war.
Wenn krieg ist wirste sowieso eingezogen, lieber schonmal nen Dienstposten bekleiden den man wenns drauf ankommt später auch machen kann anstatt als hastig ausgebildetes kanonenfutter zu enden
The great grandfather of my cousin fought in Stalingrad. Was captured and spend 8 years in a gulag in Russia. He died 8 years ago. After the gulag, he never ate rabbit again. Never ever said a word about Stalingrad. For him, he died in Stalingrad and the gulag, what came later was a new life, in which you cheat on yourself pretending what you lived never happened
There's a quote about the last plane out before they lost the airfield, but for the life of me I can't remember it, the guts of it was out the weak, untested and wounded where not thr ones evacuated, but the strongest, implying they had fought their way onto the transport
Ive read about it in a book antony beevor the sites would've been horrifying if reading about it was so nerve wracking the ones who couldn't walk were trampled by the ones who could walk such was the desperation. (sorry for my shit English)
My great grandfather fought at Stalingrad as Hungarian soldier. But he was lucky to have the opportunity to come back from the front alive. But as he mentioned, it was very terrifying and he was very glad to be back in Hungary.
Ngl it was probably the smartest thing he could do lol, fighting in the eastern front either for hitler or stalin is like the cake and penis dilemma where you get to eat one and sit on the other
You should of used the original record version recording of the song, it sounds better and has the static and glitches that would make this 10x better.
In all my years of learning about WW2 one thing that sticked with me the longest was the Wehrmacht's last stand at Berlin, be it willingly or of no choice for those soldiers. The prospect of continuing the struggle in hopes of at least stalling the enemy or buying time for a miracle, out of wishful thinking, to happen is unfathomable to our generation today. Compared to my previous Filipino countrymen that had the luxury of retreating to the mountains and jungles to stall and await for American reinforcements, the German army was literally in a hopeless last stand. The horrific thought of having no homeland to go home to will sure to take hold of anyone who has a degree of love for their nation, almost like zealously defending a civilization in the brink of armageddon. Defending your nation despite having clear and inevitable signs of defeat is an act that most of us might not be even willing to do in this day and age. I have tremendous respect to my veteran countrymen and the Allies, especially to the Americans for their help during the war; but to this day, no one has ever taken away my eternal admiration to the Germans who stood their ground in the face of obvious defeat and annihilation.
Well, after seeing what their government & armed forces are doing in Russia the average German soldier will be very motivated to protect their beloved ones back home from Russians looking for payback
"but to this day, no one has ever taken away my eternal admiration to the Germans who stood their ground in the face of obvious defeat and annihilation." Defeat and annihilation they caused themselves by murdering millions of innocent people. My hometown was incorporated into the Reich, and you know what? They gave people a fate worse than hell. More than 1/3 of the inhabitants were murdered within two months. The youngest victim was 14oy boy. He was tortured (a few days and then shot) for carrying the national flag. Hundreds of teachers, clergy, scouts etc. were exterminated to prepare the area for "colonization". After everything I have learned, after all the photos, how the Germans are drinking their coffee in peace (They built a cafe in the torture chamber. Interesting, isn't it?), where people are tortured downstairs , as they were digging mass graves in the surrounding forests, I think that what happened to them was just a poor substitute for Hell that they cooked for my people through the years of occupation.
@@jaguar2594 Yea, Im a "the leftist freak" because I don't like the romanticization of criminals who simply received (inadequate) punishment for their actions. As if something, I don't use TT and I consider the Soviet Union itself a lake full of shit.
The worst part about 6th army is that Adolfs generals lied to him and told him that "We can supply Stalingrad" and that was a part of the reason as to why there was no order of retreat. THATS WHAT I REMEMBER. I havent been in the topic of Stalingrad in a long time
This struck my heart, the lyrics, the sounds in the background, looking at that flat in the picture and thinking of the skirmishes that went on filled my mind with dread. I had to read into the battle of Stalingrad and to say it was a horrific experience just by reading it alone would be the biggest understatement the world would ever see. Imagine you a young teen and your family not evacuating further to safety but holding a rifle and digging trenches waiting for the invaders of your homeland Stalingrad to come. Never knowing the actual horrors to await you in the Couldron.
My best friends great uncle was conscripted into an artillery company, tasked with shelling stalingrad, without a doubt, at least a few of those buildings were toppled by shells from his company
My grandfather once told me about his experiences from 1945. At that time he was present at the battle for the Seelow Heights. You can't even imagine what was going on there these days. For him, the noise of the Katyushas was the worst thing he had ever experienced. You lie in your foxhole with a comrade for hours upon hours and just hope that it doesn't get you. His comrade in the same rifle hole started to pray there. When the artillery fire stopped, they knew Ivan (Russians) is coming.

My great grandfather fought near Stalingrad. Because his leg freezed off and had to be amputated he was sent home shortly before his unit was encircled. Guess he lost his leg but becuase of it not his life
My great grandpa was a veteran of Stalingrad, of the 300000 men that got trapped in the cauldron, he happened to be one of the 6000 that eventually made it back home. in 1951 the soviets told him that his labour punishment is over, so he walked back home like many others, to find his wife assumed him dead for the past 7 years (as he only returned home in 1952) and she had already remarried. the soviet labour camps changed him, he always wept if he smelled onion, apparently that was the only thing they were fed for certain months. He died at the age of 97 in 2010, peacefully in his sleep.
@@HistoryFeelscaptured Germans often lived better than the Soviet soldiers themselves . It seems to me that the rebuilding of cities by the Germans is quite a worthy punishment .
@cozmoknot7317 It's clear that both the communists and the fascists were animals. If only the western powers could've saved more of Europe from the communists.
I from Russia. My great-grandfather died while crossing the Volga to Stalingrad. Most likely aviation. Not the Grave, no remains. Only a common monument in his native village ... (sorry for bad English) supplemented I had a chance to participate in the parade in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Victory (we have such customs )ou can not imagine how difficult the climatic conditions are, in summer it is very hot and humid, the skin unaccustomed to the skin blistered in 40 minutes + sunburn spots ached for another 3 days. In winter there is a lot of snow and terrible cold was there in winter at 19 and in summer at 20. If this is transferred to the conditions of 1942-1943 + the absence of normal warm clothes and this is just hellish conditions for any person ... memory of the fallen soldiers of all sides ... (я из России) мой прадед погиб при переправе реки Волга. Скорее всего авиация. Ни могилы ,ничего, только общий памятник в родной деревне. дополняю. В 2020 году во время службы в армии, участвовал в параде в честь 75 годовщины Победы. (каждый год проходит парад) Вы не представляете какая здесь невыносимая жара ( прибыл в начале июня для репетиции парада из другого тёплого региона с СУХИМ воздухом) а из-за реки пусть она далеко, влажность постоянная и она усиливает жару, а зимой холод, пробирающий до костей. Были ясные дни, ни единого облачка.Когда нам приказали закатать рукава (так делают летом, чтобы не было жарко) наши не знающие офицеры дали такой приказ, и уже через 40 минут начали появляться волдыри, а кожа становилась не загорелой а красной. Ещё три дня у всех болели от небольших, но ощутимых ожогов. (P.S. наше оружие было темного цвета, и когда мы уходили на водопой оставляли его в тени чтобы оно остыло :) ) Я ни разу не жалуюсь на такие проблемы, я и мои товарищи достойно перенесли эти обстоятельства, но представьте, что вы там не на 4 недели сколько был я, а на несколько лет в условиях 1942-1943 годов (тогда климат был ещё хуже чем сейчас) мне страшно представить какой АД перенесли люди, и как это усугубляло абсолютно ВСЁ. Память всем воинам, отдавшим жизнь за свои страны.... Надеюсь Гугл переведёт:)
We need a day specifically meant to honor the Veterans of the Second World War. The Greatest Generation does not get the appreciation it deserves for they're sacrifice. I am very thankful towards men like your grandfather and my great grandfather on my fathers side of the family who paid the ultimate price to protect they're family and nation.
I had 2 Grandfathers, one of them served as a Tanker in africa(I don't know the details, he died before my birth and my parents never told me anything more) and the other one was a rifleman on the eastern front. He died at Stalingrad and we never had any remains from him, only a gravestone without a coffin beneath it. I honour your grandpa as much as I honour mine, no matter that they fought for opposite sides, war is something horrible that no man, woman, or child of any nation should ever experience
I have a great grandfather who died in Stalingrad, a common soldier with training for the small anti tank gun. He died in December in Stalingrad, German like myself. As his offspring I don't want to claim the respect he deserves for myself and also it meant an incredibly tough childhood for my grandpa. Another great grandpa was wounded at Kiev and thus survived while his entire unit perished. Respect to all who fought, british, american and soviet, but my love goes only to the germans and our allies. The struggle aiagnst bolshevism and oligarchy was noble and necessary.
My great grandfather survived Stalingrad he was a Silesian Polish conscript he only spoke of what happened when drunk he mentioned sleeping under the fallen to shelter from the old of night
my Italian great great-grandfather was forced to join the fascist army when he was very young, most of the boys formed the Italian army, but some of them were sent to Russia. It was the ARMIR. I know the fascists are the "bad guys" in history, but it still hits me hard. My grandfather died cold with his German comrades on Russian soil. The stories you heard about what they went through before they passed away, simply horrible. I hope that all the men and women who fell during this war can find peace.
i doubt he thought of the germans as comrades, since they treated the italians like shit especially after the soviet breakthrough forced them to retreat from the don front. many survivors of the armir went on to fight against the nazis and the fascists of the salo puppet regime after the italian armistice
@@ajejebrazov6066 my family is italian, therefore I am. And I'm not going to discuss that with you, nor I will discuss that the italian army of Mussolini was fascist. Bc, they were.
My grandfather was a volunteer in The Wehrmacht he fought all the way to the East, as part of the army group tasked with the capture of Ukraine and the oil fields. He saw combat a number of times, but eventually was forced to retreat all the way back to Germany. He survived the war but since my family isn't from Germany he was convicted of high treason by my government and served 7 years in a re-education camp until he received a general amnesty. He never much spoke about the war, and even when i was young i could understand and respect why. Rest now grandpa, i hope you've found peace.
tasked with the capture of ukraine and the oilfields then he was a part of army group south, later when fall blau commenced(drive towards the caucuses) army group south was split into 2. those were Army Group A and B. army group A went into the caucuses and captured the oilfield so your grandfather was then a part of army group A. after fall blau army group A stayed army group and army group B turned into army group south. Army group A later was renamed to army group south ukraine and after army group south ukraine took heavy losses it was renamed to army group south and army group south was later renamed to army group ostmark (Heeresgruppe ostmark) Army group south -> Army group A-> Army Group south ukraine-> Army Group South-> Army group ostmark
had a great uncle from Italy die somewhere on the eastern front with an italian division. Imagine being an italian farmer with abundant fruit and warm weather be drafted and sent to siberia to die. RIP Zio
I see a lot of people are posting stories so here's my grandpa's. I never met him, everything was relayed to me by my mother. He was entrenched at or near Stalingrad, so close to the russians he could hear them talking in their other trench. He could hear a "Vasily" talking, and his own name was the Romanian version of that, "Vasile". Apparently there was a small local truce on Christmas, and the two exchanged gifts. For the rest of his stay, my granddad never tried to actually aim at the enemy again, as to not unknowingly hit Vasily. At some point he got wounded and extracted from the front. Doesn't really match with the timeline of the city getting surrounded, so I assume he wasn't in the encircled Stalingrad to begin with, but somewhere close. He lived and by the time he recovered, Romania had switched sides. He was deployed again on the Hungarian front and lived through that as well. He eventually died of old age. He lived in a small village, owned a hunting rifle and used to feed his dogs more than he fed himself, because he had to share his food with the dogs as a kid. Other than this and one or two random things, I don't know much about the man.
@Muhammad was a PedoProphet AyeshaWas NINEYO Yeah, cause he surely decided to invade the Soviet Union. Operation Barbarossa was definitely his idea and not Hitler's
This is what I imagine Hell must be. Slowly starving to death while you also have to fight off hordes of enemies that seem to be endless, and no support in sight.
in that moment they did not fight for their ideology, country or to be hero. They just fought for survival, to see their family and warm bed again. That desperation feeling so sad.
“The Russians stand at the door of our bunker. We are destroying our equipment. This station will no longer transmit.” - Final radio message from Stalingrad, January 31, 1943.
I played this in War Thunder. Anyone familiar with the game will tell you how playing Germany tends to go, and listening to this really enhanced the experience. Watching as tanks burst into flames around you, looking up into the skies to see the few planes your team manages to get up immediately fall in a ball of fire, it really hits you just how fucked it is that we do this shit for fun now. And when your tank finally gets hit, and when your team is finally overwhelmed, it just makes you want to play it all again.
Their vision for the future, their inner strength and resilience, their love for their people and homeland. All unparalleled, heroes to a man and may their memory never die.

When Paulus surrendered I think a few thousand Romanians/Hungarians/Germans and such refused and fought to the death anyways with basically no weapons or supplies. I forget where I read this. But very brave and sad at the same time.
For a few months after the surrender the Soviets were still finding holdouts of German Soldiers. They would announce over loud speakers to surrender and if they didn't they would blow up the building. I don't remember the source.

My great grandfather fought for Italy in World War Two and when the Germans took over he was sent to Italy where he was put on a train to Germany. When he got there, he enjoyed the luxury of a work camp.

He survived somehow but the war had taken its toll. It’s actually an amazing story in itself how my great grandfather travelled through a continent for his son

Stalingrad resembled itself in no way before the war. If you look at any amount of photos. You find bullet holes somewhere in each one. Factories once moving efficently are desolate and worn. Houses shelled. And Bodies lifeless
This makes me feel like a volkssturm soldier sitting next to a bombed out building while the air raid sirens play patriotic music only for it to be left as it changes to a melancholy melody. Truly a Doomer experience
Something like 10,000 of the 6th army would refuse to join Paulus’s surrender. Where he and his staff would later sit in luxurious treatment and the rest of his surrendered troop would be marched off to gulags. The 10,000 that stayed in Stalingrad fought to the very last man.
Everyone is gangster until the dead German soldiers start getting back up and sprinting at the Soviets with glowing yellow eyes, soaking up bullets and tearing them to shreds

It's sad that that's the way I feel about loved ones who've passed away before this whole madness that surrounded us today started, at least they had a decent burial and didn't have to witness this insanity.
No matter what side they fought for, ww1 and ww2 were one of the biggest tragedies this continent has faced since the black plague, a lot of good people perished for nothing. The cultural and moral damage caused will take centuries to rebuild.
What could've been an alternative, may I ask?
@@elatev4551 ww1 shouldn't have started. from there it was only down hill. ww2 is just a continuation of the first one. and for what? those were the best generation europe produced. thats when tradition, culture, heritage, all were lost in the trenches. germany was humiliated, austro-hungary got the long end of the stick and people all across the continent were poorer at the end of it. And this is from the place that was able to create extraordinary people to people squabbling to bet food and a roof over their heads.
@@rusu989 to be honest, I suppose WWI was a sort of an ivenitable event. There was a political crisis in Europe those days, and I guess, German Empire was looking for a reason to start such war. It was planned years before, because as time passed, GE forced Turkey and Italy to join that massacre. Major countres, such as GE, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Ottoman Empire felt themselves too tight in their lands, so GE, or any other "Big Player" could've start the war to gain territory, goods, influence or money

My great grandfather was in the 4th panzer division during stalingard. He mailed a letter to my great grandmother kaya who passed down to my grandma and then to my mom when she was a good age. I’ve since received the letter(s) and I’ve read them. I used to think war was about glory but after reading the story of a man who starved and froze inside his tank until it was destroyed truly has shaken my morale to enlist once I’m 18. I’m 16 now and I probably won’t enlist after reading the series of letters
@GreenTea💚 I think we all realize that as time goes on
If your great grandfather's letter stops one person from taking up arms against their fellow men, then it wasn't in vain. I hope, I think, he would be happy with that. War is a horrible thing, we should be working to stop war and stop the nationalist ideals that lead to war.

You should of used the original record version recording of the song, it sounds better and has the static and glitches that would make this 10x better.
Fax
"Nachts steht Hunger starr in unserm Traum" but you are the last soldier defending Reichstag in 1945
I second this, anything with this song would be incredible
In all my years of learning about WW2 one thing that sticked with me the longest was the Wehrmacht's last stand at Berlin, be it willingly or of no choice for those soldiers. The prospect of continuing the struggle in hopes of at least stalling the enemy or buying time for a miracle, out of wishful thinking, to happen is unfathomable to our generation today. Compared to my previous Filipino countrymen that had the luxury of retreating to the mountains and jungles to stall and await for American reinforcements, the German army was literally in a hopeless last stand. The horrific thought of having no homeland to go home to will sure to take hold of anyone who has a degree of love for their nation, almost like zealously defending a civilization in the brink of armageddon.
Defending your nation despite having clear and inevitable signs of defeat is an act that most of us might not be even willing to do in this day and age. I have tremendous respect to my veteran countrymen and the Allies, especially to the Americans for their help during the war; but to this day, no one has ever taken away my eternal admiration to the Germans who stood their ground in the face of obvious defeat and annihilation.
Well, after seeing what their government & armed forces are doing in Russia the average German soldier will be very motivated to protect their beloved ones back home from Russians looking for payback
well said, poor germans. Places like dresden completely flattened from the bombing which made it so hot, and people were literally melting.
"but to this day, no one has ever taken away my eternal admiration to the Germans who stood their ground in the face of obvious defeat and annihilation."
Defeat and annihilation they caused themselves by murdering millions of innocent people.
My hometown was incorporated into the Reich, and you know what?
They gave people a fate worse than hell. More than 1/3 of the inhabitants were murdered within two months. The youngest victim was 14oy boy. He was tortured (a few days and then shot) for carrying the national flag. Hundreds of teachers, clergy, scouts etc. were exterminated to prepare the area for "colonization".
After everything I have learned, after all the photos, how the Germans are drinking their coffee in peace (They built a cafe in the torture chamber. Interesting, isn't it?), where people are tortured downstairs , as they were digging mass graves in the surrounding forests, I think that what happened to them was just a poor substitute for Hell that they cooked for my people through the years of occupation.
Oh here we go, the leftist freak that has to dismiss anything actually good about Germany during ww2. Please go back to twitter.
@@jaguar2594 Yea, Im a "the leftist freak" because I don't like the romanticization of criminals who simply received (inadequate) punishment for their actions.
As if something, I don't use TT and I consider the Soviet Union itself a lake full of shit.
The worst part about 6th army is that Adolfs generals lied to him and told him that "We can supply Stalingrad" and that was a part of the reason as to why there was no order of retreat.
THATS WHAT I REMEMBER. I havent been in the topic of Stalingrad in a long time
Yeah goring said it could be supplied by air, in reality only around a 1/6th of the required supplies could be dropped
This struck my heart, the lyrics, the sounds in the background, looking at that flat in the picture and thinking of the skirmishes that went on filled my mind with dread. I had to read into the battle of Stalingrad and to say it was a horrific experience just by reading it alone would be the biggest understatement the world would ever see. Imagine you a young teen and your family not evacuating further to safety but holding a rifle and digging trenches waiting for the invaders of your homeland Stalingrad to come. Never knowing the actual horrors to await you in the Couldron.
My best friends great uncle was conscripted into an artillery company, tasked with shelling stalingrad, without a doubt, at least a few of those buildings were toppled by shells from his company
This hits different on a walk to work in the snow

My grandfather once told me about his experiences from 1945. At that time he was present at the battle for the Seelow Heights.
You can't even imagine what was going on there these days. For him, the noise of the Katyushas was the worst thing he had ever experienced. You lie in your foxhole with a comrade for hours upon hours and just hope that it doesn't get you. His comrade in the same rifle hole started to pray there.
When the artillery fire stopped, they knew Ivan (Russians) is coming.
The germans gave them quite a fight. Nonetheless, war is hell.

My great grandpa was a veteran of Stalingrad, of the 300000 men that got trapped in the cauldron, he happened to be one of the 6000 that eventually made it back home. in 1951 the soviets told him that his labour punishment is over, so he walked back home like many others, to find his wife assumed him dead for the past 7 years (as he only returned home in 1952) and she had already remarried. the soviet labour camps changed him, he always wept if he smelled onion, apparently that was the only thing they were fed for certain months. He died at the age of 97 in 2010, peacefully in his sleep.

В 2020 году во время службы в армии, участвовал в параде в честь 75 годовщины Победы. (каждый год проходит парад) Вы не представляете какая здесь невыносимая жара ( прибыл в начале июня для репетиции парада из другого тёплого региона с СУХИМ воздухом) а из-за реки пусть она далеко, влажность постоянная и она усиливает жару, а зимой холод, пробирающий до костей. Были ясные дни, ни единого облачка.Когда нам приказали закатать рукава (так делают летом, чтобы не было жарко) наши не знающие офицеры дали такой приказ, и уже через 40 минут начали появляться волдыри, а кожа становилась не загорелой а красной. Ещё три дня у всех болели от небольших, но ощутимых ожогов. (P.S. наше оружие было темного цвета, и когда мы уходили на водопой оставляли его в тени чтобы оно остыло :) ) Я ни разу не жалуюсь на такие проблемы, я и мои товарищи достойно перенесли эти обстоятельства, но представьте, что вы там не на 4 недели сколько был я, а на несколько лет в условиях 1942-1943 годов (тогда климат был ещё хуже чем сейчас) мне страшно представить какой АД перенесли люди, и как это усугубляло абсолютно ВСЁ.

I see a lot of people are posting stories so here's my grandpa's. I never met him, everything was relayed to me by my mother.
He was entrenched at or near Stalingrad, so close to the russians he could hear them talking in their other trench. He could hear a "Vasily" talking, and his own name was the Romanian version of that, "Vasile". Apparently there was a small local truce on Christmas, and the two exchanged gifts. For the rest of his stay, my granddad never tried to actually aim at the enemy again, as to not unknowingly hit Vasily.
At some point he got wounded and extracted from the front. Doesn't really match with the timeline of the city getting surrounded, so I assume he wasn't in the encircled Stalingrad to begin with, but somewhere close. He lived and by the time he recovered, Romania had switched sides. He was deployed again on the Hungarian front and lived through that as well.
He eventually died of old age. He lived in a small village, owned a hunting rifle and used to feed his dogs more than he fed himself, because he had to share his food with the dogs as a kid. Other than this and one or two random things, I don't know much about the man.

This sounds like the intro to a blackmetal album. Very nice
I could really use some Pervitin right about now.
And by that, I mean I could REALLY use some Pervitin right about NOW.
Now let me tell you a story about Aimo Koivunen.....
When I feel cold I think of the men fighting in Stalingrad and then I feel less cold
No more brother wars.
@Bosnia sucks Also Jews and Christians.
@Bosnia sucks there is a greater issue
@Bosnia sucks you will learn someday
@Bosnia sucks but you are right that there is an internal threat. That is the greater threat
@Bosnia sucks perhaps some universalist (hence its indifference and even contempt towards blood homogenity) religion you mistakingly call your own.
Stalingrad was terrifying during the day, but night time must've been on a whole new level of terror.
Using this as a break up song. Easy to get through a hard time when listening to others have an infinity harder time.
"...And when night arrives, one of those scorching howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure."
This is so much more haunting with headphones. Especially with the cannon fire.
This video just fits in every way possible.
except for the fact the song was about the 1920's not the 1942-43's :) Petty but factual
imagine fighting on the ruined streets without any other choice,witnessing the death of your friends, friends,fighting without any other choice, knowing that your turn will come to you every day, our generation will not understand this thanks to those who fought there.
I'm from Azerbaijan. About 680,000 Azerbaijani soldiers faught in ww2 (according to wikipedia) 300,000 of them were dead. My grandma's father was also faught and he captured by Germans. Fortunately, he escaped and back to the Motherland. We are alive for people faught in that war. R.I.P all the soldiers who faught for their Nation and People.

Its great to know any azerbaijanian listening this song. Respect from Turkey,as azerbaijanian
The moral level of every one during the first question of the exam
Nice video, first time I heard hear this song. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@HistoryFeels is this a song about the first or the second war? Considering the lyrics, It could be both.
@@titnesovic4522 It's actually interwar - about the Freikorps who fought against the Red army in Russia
@@HistoryFeels ok, thank you.
Mein opa fiel genau 10 tage vor kriegsende in berlin auf der reihnseite vom Reichstag hatte sogar stalingrad überlebt er war richtschütze in einem königstiger
🙏 möge er in Frieden ruhen
Der Onkel meiner Großmutter starb in der Schlacht um Stalingrad, irgendwo im Herbst 1942, ihr Vater kämpfte in der Nähe von Kursk, reiste durch ganz Europa, nahm Berlin ein und ich kämpfte in der Mandschurei gegen die Japaner. Ein anderer Urgroßvater in der Linie meines Vaters wurde 1941 eingezogen, geriet in Gefangenschaft und konnte erfolgreich fliehen, danach erreichte er auch Berlin und blieb ein Sieger, er starb vor einigen Jahren.
Alle drei konnten in Jakutien ein friedliches Leben führen, aber all diese großartigen Menschen beschlossen, 8.000 Kilometer an die Front zu gehen, gegen die Nazis zu kämpfen und ihnen 2 Meter Land in der Breite und zwei Meter Tiefe unter einem Espenkreuz zu geben. Niemand hat dich in unser Land gerufen, dir wurden die Gräueltaten und die Barbarei auf unserem Land vergeben, aber sie wurden nicht vergessen. Jetzt bewegt sich Ihre Regierung langsam in die gleiche Richtung wie Ihre Nazi-Vorfahren und schickt Panzer in die Ukraine. Denken Sie an die Deutschen, im 45. Jahr haben unsere großzügigen Vorfahren Ihren Vorfahren vergeben, aber unsere Generation ist vielleicht nicht so unterstützend und gutherzig. Russland ist freundlich, Russland ist großzügig, aber es mag es nicht, wenn jemand an seinen Grenzen Chaos verursacht.
"Alle sieben Sekunden stirbt ein deutscher Soldat. Stalingrad ist ein Massengrab! "
theres nothing you can do other than waiting hunger,the cold,or either your enemy killing you running is not even option for you you are stuck and powerless
My great grandfather fought for Italy in World War Two and when the Germans took over he was sent to Italy where he was put on a train to Germany. When he got there, he enjoyed the luxury of a work camp. Barely any food and his ww1 vet father had to find him but before that, america bombed the fuck out of the camp and his best friend was killed in the explosions. He survived somehow but the war had taken its toll. It’s actually an amazing story in itself how my great grandfather travelled through a continent for his son
I was looking for an edited version of this song that has war sounds because I was listening to its original version while making scenarios in my head like this. Splendid job! I hope both sides of your pillow are cold.
Truly the greatest blessing. Many thanks
I don't understand any world, but i can feel how a German soldier curses the war. He dream only about back to home alive and forget Stalingrad like a bad dream.
Чел изучи историю и контекст тех событий и подумай много немцев хотела домой до зимы 1941
I make these videos sometimes, but then I see ones like this and I understand I'm seriously outclassed 😂 Excellent video
I wouldn't say that, I'm checking your videos out now and they're really good! I have no idea why the algorithm picks some and not others
@@HistoryFeels You're a snappy dresser and all around good guy
nah ur vids are great
I briefly recognized the Katyusha's terrifying rocket barrage
At 1:41
Hello my name is petty and not every rocket artillery is a katyusha
my grandfather was captured in stalingrad. and became a POW for over 4 years in russia. he came back. changed. my grandma refused to elaborate.
he is still alive right ?
@@pranavr0y no, he died about 1996, surrounded by his 8 children and about 10 grandchildren, with ~ 75 years.
Edit: corrected age. he was born 1921 and i misscalculated.
Grandfather is captured.
Becomes POW for over 4 years.
Comes back.
Changes.
Leaves and grandma refuses to elaborate.
Sorry.
Sometimes, it feels like you're fighting a losing war.
За Волгой земли нет! Враг не пройдёт!
Stalingrad resembled itself in no way before the war. If you look at any amount of photos. You find bullet holes somewhere in each one. Factories once moving efficently are desolate and worn. Houses shelled. And Bodies lifeless
Russian White Movement tried to liberate Tsaritsyn (former name of Stalingrad) from red forces in 1918-1919 during the Civil War.
This makes me feel like a volkssturm soldier sitting next to a bombed out building while the air raid sirens play patriotic music only for it to be left as it changes to a melancholy melody. Truly a Doomer experience
Ohh shit, Gänsehaut.
Die Musik und im Hintergrund die Gefechtsgeräusche.
Augen schließen und zuhören, man hat fast das Gefühl dabei zu sein.
Something like 10,000 of the 6th army would refuse to join Paulus’s surrender. Where he and his staff would later sit in luxurious treatment and the rest of his surrendered troop would be marched off to gulags. The 10,000 that stayed in Stalingrad fought to the very last man.
mark felton ?
@@tavish4699 was?
@@AtlasAugustus he is asking if you got that knowledge from Mark Felton
@@Rudimentary05 Stalingrad battle data, the channel
Paulus was very sick at this time. Would you have treated yourself worse if you had a severe gut illness in the cold?
THESE NEED TO BE ON SPOTIFY
indeed
you can upload it, there are better versions though
Everyone is gangster until the dead German soldiers start getting back up and sprinting at the Soviets with glowing yellow eyes, soaking up bullets and tearing them to shreds
I came expecting to find copper, but I ended up finding gold
Thank you!
@@HistoryFeels man I can't explain the feeling bro.
When ever I listen to this my heart breaks.
This makes me think of a old family relative who died in the battle of Stalingrad
The sound of katyusha's firing scares me
'Every seven seconds, A German soldier dies. Stalingrad, mass grave.'
I am a German, my great-grandfather fought under the command of Paulus, and they sang the same song in the cold until their shelter was shot down by Katyusha.....
Missed opportunity to put Stalingrad Massengrab in the background
Oh man you're so right, I had no idea this was a thing. Listening to that gave me chills. Thanks for the info
@@HistoryFeels
Served those Germans right lol
Also you're welcome, it is pretty chilling
How about adding "Alle sieben sekunden stirbt ein Deutscher soldat. Stalingrad-massengrab"?
Reminds me of my Romanian grandfathers... i can only immagine the hell that there was, as they bodies were never returned. Hope god took good care of them
Some of the worst examples of humanity happened in WWII, I pray we never have another war like that again
commies aren't humans

POV: you’re stranded in Stalingrad left with only two more stripper clips for your K98
They were actually eating their horses even before they reached Stalingrad, during the Don offensive.
