The Dirlewanger Brigade. The Worst of the Worst.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- In 1940s Germany, one of the worst military units was created to suppress partisans in the conquered territories. Dubbed the Dirlewanger Brigade, after its commander, its ranks consisted of the lowest criminals the Reich had to offer. From 1940 to the Wars end, they would burn a trail of terror across Eastern Europe, cementing their reputation as the worst of the worst.

You know its bad when the Gestapo thinks you're an asshole.
The SS were also shocked by his cruelty. Enough said. 😮
What the video neglects to mention is that the Polish guards did not kill Dirlewanger in one night. Before his eventual, grisly death he was tortured repeatedly over several nights; his screams echoing throughout the prison.
Probably totured him severely enough to authenticake & sign the bullshit script used to make this production
That was only fair
Thanks goodness they didn't get an easy ride.
Good
Torture is not usually acceptable. But, in some cases you just walk away. But, remember, it can be used on you.
It's like they took notes from the Japanese army at Nanking word-for-word
And the US army My Lai massacre in Vietnam, one of the "regular" civilian massacres, that took place over there......
@@Alexander-Kurtz Yeah what about:......So many others masacres by so many countries have taken place does not excuse any other earlier or later.
But stories about the atrocities of the losers are always used to conceal the atrocities of the winners. @@jimomaha7809 Remember Nagasaki and Hiroshima? They were purely attacks on civilians. Also Dresden. In Germany, it was the *stated policy* of the allied bombing campaign to destroy 40% of civilian housing. Targeting civilians is a war crime. After the war, German prisoners were kept as slaves and exported to various countries around Europe where most were starved to death. All countries had to do was apply to SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force) to get an allotment of German slaves. Few of thoe who went to the Soviet Union ever returned. France applied for 700,000 and received 340,000. Half of them died in captivity. In postwar Germany itself, all males aged 12 to 65 had to report for labor battalion work and if they did not turn up they had their rations cards revoked. Yes, the punishment was starvation. I could go on at some length with lists of Allied mass-atrocities of WW2. And that is without even mentioning the bestial Stalin and the Soviet Union, where the army were exhorted to advance on Germany and "Rape and rape and rape!" After the war, 15 million ethnic Germans were expelled from Eastern Europe - Prussia, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraines, etc, where their ancestors had lived for a thousand years. Of course, millions died.
@@Alexander-Kurtz26 soldiers compared to tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers. No comparison.

If you watch “Come and See” you will have some idea of what they were able to show in a film format. It’s free to watch here on RUclips.I think it’s fairly obvious now that Dirlewanger had suffered numerous head injuries and we now understand how this affects the ability to control one’s aggression and impulse control. It’s amazing how many serial killers have been subject to head injuries especially concussions / periods of unconsciousness and Doctors conclude this has a huge impact on their personalities. Not good to hit your head , full stop. Permanent character changes and increase in erratic and aggressive behaviour. You can see the scar/s on his forehead.
Are you attempting to make excuses for this evil depraved psychopath. There is no excuse for what all these animals did. A two year old child knows right from wrong. It's people like you, who are more concerned for the perpetrators rather than the poor defenceless victims.
Nonsense, he was simply a nazi mass murderer, killing innocent people because he liked to kill
How many head injuries had FDR and Churchill suffered?
@@stmartinhk no idea 🤷
@@stmartinhk but I think I understand your point. It’s valid.
Watched alot of you tube vids on this unit. This is BY FAR the best of the best! Great video, thank you for creating and posting!

Mathias Schenk survived the war and returned to help the Polish farmers that had helped him. You often wonder how any of Dirlewangers people could ever return to a normal life of any kind. The Red Cross found a handful of these veterans still alive a few years ago in Germany. Nothing else has been said about them.
They are no veterans, they are massmurderer who escaped,
You know they're bad when their fellow Nazis thought they were being too brutal
There was a draft and regular men had to join the Wehrmacht. From all social backgrounds. My granddads had to as well. They hated the war and the Nazis, still had to fight or be executed. They didn't have a single good word for the SS or other NS-criminals. They were happy when everything was over and they survived. After the war: American zone.
They weren't really nazis though but quite the opposite. They gave nothing to the government and the political ideology, they were drafted criminals, even anti-fascists that were political enemies of the nazis. They were forced to fight and committed crimes to surive. Nothing "nazi" about that, it's just selfishness and having no morale values.
I think there are few terms that are used so wrong and is mostly so misplaced as the term "nazi".
Those guys were SS but they were not Nazis. Hard to comprehend, right?
Good comment ,it must have been terrible for ordinary Germans . A lot of these men fought bravely but to defend their country not it's regime.
@@Eunegin23the Wehrmacht, besides being the most elite fighting force we've ever seen, was full of proud and honorable men that loved their fatherland and wanted nothing to do with the rape and murder of civilians
@@Eunegin23 Unfortunately this is a very well known story.
After the end suddenly, as many commentators from all the 4 allied forces, noted " All were never Nazis' and all hated them and the SS"
I make no aspersions though, I am simply pointing out the brutal facts of the time.
Incredible writing and narration my friend, a thorough and accurate account of some of the most despicable "human" beings to walk the earth in the last century. Look forward to sifting through the rest of your content! 🙏
Good sir, you sold me with 'violent alcoholic'. Where do I sign up!?
At your local GQP
@@mikebunting7262 I don't think that is quite right. Republicans are free market capitalists. Nazis(literal translation: National Socialists) are socialists. Hitler made many speeches railing against American capitalism. On the other hand Mussolini did approve of FDR's New Deal as a socialist program comparing it to his own government/financial plans for Italy.
So I think the Democrats would be more along fascist lines, especially when you consider the proud socialists among their ranks like Bernie Sanders and AOC''s Squad.
I am not a Republican, nor do I endorse the globalist leanings of their decrepit, ancient, upper echelon.
Don’t forget to imagine a Gilbert Gottfried voice saying it all.
You mean I get to kill without provocation in an Unconscionable manner while wearing a Hugo Boss uniform it doesn’t get any better than that!
Life used to be so much more fun when human life was cheap.
'The Dirty Dozen' won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1967.
Incredibly well formatted video, chilling stuff.
Well made video but what triggers me hard is mixing footage of axis and allied troops in action.
A good presentation. Well done.
Great account....well presented and researched.
12:42“Cut down and decimated by professional’s”lmfao
That's exactly what happened! The Red Army in 1944 was a highly professional force that had learnt the art of war the hard way and perfected its tactics against the previously undefeated Wehrmacht. They decimated the Axis forces in one battle after another, reversing the loss ratios they suffered in the first part of the war. Operation Bagration has been rightly called the greatest offensive battle in history, eclipsing even Operation Barbarossa.
@@Idcanymore510 Decimated is not the word you should use, during the offensive, countless communist tank and infantry battalions were wiped out by the germans, even when they were retreating.
Very good video. Great voice. Keep it up.
If only these boys had been shown a little more love and kindness as children......
Anybody seen the film Come and See?
Yes I have recommended that people watch it in a comment further up. It’s about the only film that has come close to the truth which would be unacceptable for release as a movie for obvious reasons. It’s good that you are aware of it. People who constantly want to see wars kick off can’t even stomach what is all things considered, a fairly tame movie as most of what happened is actually off camera but you know it’s happening, you can feel it
One account on the slaughter with the 350 children in the school was from a guy in the demo squad who was sent ahead to blow doors and obstacles for the SS behind em.
He talked very bad about the SS he hated em.
Well, he blew the door to that school and was shocked to see all the kids there with hands raised.
And as him and his men were frozen and didn’t know exactly how to react then behind them came storming in the SS and they were told (SS were told by SS command, not the German soldiers doing the demo) to kill them all.
And what I understood was they did shoot many of them but even then they went over each one as to smash their skulls in with the stock of the weapons and he said the stair case looked like a waterfall of blood.
Later on he says one of the officers of that SS unit was hated by him and his squad that they decided to kill him, they had 8 rifles and 2 were loaded and they shot him in the back and ran.
He later deserted and found a farm somewhere and was treated and kept hid by polish farmers so they didn’t know who he was and have him killed.
Just truly horrific detail.
Siegerpropaganda!
@@ottogarsbernah, they didnt needed propaganda anymore. They hide their faces under masks for a reason.
on 2-15, 2224 does this remind anyone of anything happening today.
shows something about humans as public employees, no one killed him during rhe war.
Hmmm. Unit appeared to have a high recidivism rate. Great telling of their horrific story.
Its not really correct to say the members of the Dirlewanger Division "escaped justice'. The division was used in the modern equivalent of Wagner's 'meat assaults" and the division was destroyed, almost completely, on multiple occasions, each time restocking with new criminal elements and undesirables. Dirlewanger was as careless with his mens' lives as he was with everyone elses'.
Das waren Kämpfer gegen kriminelle Partisanen!
Except of course Wagner has never come close to being destroyed although they have been the demise of many ukazis.
@@jsd795 you really havent been paying attention have you. Wagner is the single most source of heavy casualties on the russian side and even prigozhen said that. Youre a cretin.
@@ottogarsber Schwätzer
Dirlewanger's unit were brigade size. They never reached "division" level
He had a certain aesthetic I can't put my finger on.
Hi, what songs played in background? Especially 15:20
Lacrimosa by Mozart.
@@Wulfyr Thank you!
Most of the music is from Wagners “Flying Dutchman”.
This unit was despised by even their own fellow SS. They were truly despicable particularly their commander SS Brigadefuhrer Oskar Dirlewanger.
Interesting, but the footage is often completely unrelated to the material. Such as footage from the Pacific theater, Gun camera footage from American aircraft, etc. Better coordination of footage to narrative is needed.
most of this unit was thrown together when berlin was in chaos. believe it or not my great grandfather was part of Staatliche Kriminalabteilung and this unit was hunted by its own,
20K vs 59 ? This is what happens to an unarmed populace.
Compared with the Japanese , he was an angel.
Most of the human race no matter how bad seem moderate compared to those medieval ghouls
Like general ishiro ishi. He was a real sweetheart
Berger most certainly should have had an appointment with Albert Pierpoint.

I'm sure hell has a VIP section just for these guys
Who hasn’t had a dirle wanger from time to time?
What happened to them at end of war? Any go to Canada?
Apparently most of them ended up in Soviet Gulags.
Leider!
Yup and America too!
lol 😉
Sounds like the average Red Army unit.
The Red Army taught the German People about the concept of karma. If they were going to appropriate the symbols of Eastern Religions, they should at least learn the basic concepts too. It was a gap in their education that needed to be rectified.
the red army was a million times worse!
When other Nazis can't stand you, it's time to ask yourself, "Are We the Baddies?"
Most cruelest nazi
Ahhhh yes: the model of which some say all military personnel everywhere should be based, trained, and motivated.
Typical armchair warior comment. Noble soldiers are not subuman animals.
Night lords but in real life
If Babu knew about Dinklefinger, he would say he is a very bad man......very bad.

Perhaps an inspiration for the later recruits of the Wagner Group.
Bullshit, you're seeing too much nonsense
Negan!
Sisu will sort out these characters.
The modern version = Wagner mercenaries in 🇷🇺 Russia
You can day about him what you want, but he was very brave. Wounded 22 times, always leading his men in battle...
He lead from the rear (wich I dont judge, just stating) and shot anyone who retreated without orders, he killed his own to be feared. So, not picture him taking point, he wasn't that dumb.
He wasn't simple brave, he just dont cared... you see you can find a lot of "brave" ppl like him in my countries prison system, they have NOTHING to lose so they may kill for nothing and live their miserable life gambling their miserable path, both those ppl and Oskar mentioned in the video are not ppl to look after nor to praise, they are all PoS.
Good title.
The doodle wangers 😅
These same poachers remain among us as planned parenthood staff and management.
Atrocities happen in all wars. What made the nazis different is that they did not have to excuse anything.
The Dirlewanger brigade was at TARAWA???? 9:00 And possibly PELILIU also 9:18
je recommande ''Les chasseurs noirs'' de Christian Ingrao
I would imagine all armies had their uncouth and bad (worst of the worst). And, it should be remembered that no one is perfect.
…What are you doing here?
lol you act like there’s not a huge difference between being “not perfect” and being a “psycho murders” Conflating those who killed someone in mutual combat and soldiers killing civilians is disrespectful to the good soldiers
Partisanen sind kriminelle!
Oh that ok then
@@tonymaxwell303 I think in imperfect world situations, bad things tend to happen. And as always, the victors of any conflict write the history and explain the circumstances surrounding the conflict in question.
They were mainly convicted of poaching deer hunting out of season 🦌
gamer brigade
it was easy to spot them
American with Bar in the tropics 🧐
Why did their opening picture show them in US uniforms ?
Much of that was random footage, one point they were displaying British WWI soldiers in action , other showed Americans from WW2. The irritating bit is they showed footage of Normal Heer soldiers that were not part of Dirlewanger's abortion of a unit.
The name says it all
Did u really describe the red army as "professionals"???
Lmao
You should learn some history about the eastern front during ww2...
@@stallowner125 yeah learn about the millions upon millions of women raped by the red army, or soldiers tortured to death
Less of your 'untermensch' propaganda and more study will set you right. Who defeated the Wehrmacht? Not the Americans(the Germans themselves had no respect for them as fighting soldiers), not the Bitish. It was the Red Army who fought toe-to-toe with the up until then, greatest fighting force in history, and decimated them. Too many useful id*ts think of the Red Army of sumer 1941 and not the Red Army of summer of 1944. Two completely different beasts.
guy looked the part too.
those civillians were harsh bolsheviks hence why he dealt with them
Like Prigoshins Wagner group?
They've got 'wang' in their name. All you need to know right there.
Why the violin, as though we're sipping tea and nibbling on cake?
Obersturmfuhrer, not Oberstrumfuhrer...
Psychos
Why is the overture to Der fliegender Holländer played as a backgrouind for this film. A less likely composition for this could scarcely be imagined. And followed by the "lacrymosa" from Mozart's Requiem!
The only reason is the sheer emotional gravitas of Mozarts piece From Requiem, interestingly, but I don’t think it’s done on purpose, this is the music used at the end of the film “ Come and See “ which is about as close to this units’ actions as you can get. I highly recommend you see it if you haven’t.
They're. Only the worst of the worst because Their country lost the war
The victors write the histories, no one ever asks them whether they told the truth.
