My Grandfather fought in the Aleutian Islands 43,44 then Rhineland and Central Europe Jan 45 till the end. His 355th infantry regiment liberated Ohrdruf concentration camp in April 45. He came home raised 8 kids and retired from the Bluegrass Army Depot after 30yrs years. He earned 2 Bronze Stars 2 Theatre Ribbons and Riflemans Badge. He was an Honorable Man. 🇺🇲
Amazing...
If he botched his own suicide and was blinded, he could still have feeling in his hand to shoot himself again and make good this time instead of facing execution?!
Dumb move !! 🤪
My father in law retired from the bluegrass army depot in 2006.
He's lucky he didn't have to serve in the South Pacific or during the invasion of Normandy. God Bless your Grandfather and the USA. Trump 2024
My Dad had mentioned he was on Kiska during WWII.
Apparently you're only guilty of war crimes if you are of no use to the victors.
Sadly that is incredibly true, unless you are a South American country when money is the special ingredient!
Goering and Jodl would have been extremely useful to the victors, so your logic is flawed. I get the sentiment with some of the people that allies collaborated with after the war, but this statement is not entirely true.
@@bookemdanno5596 Not really. Goering was essentially useless. Any information he had was wrung out of him in interrogation. His reputation was based more on his own PR than reality, which is apparent from the state of the Luftwaffe at the end of the war. The pompous ass was more trouble than he was worth. Jodl was a decent military administrator, but we already had plenty of those, and like Keitel, we needed a name to put on the scaffold. What doomed him was the Commissar Order and POW Order he signed. Without that he might have served 20 years or so.
@@bookemdanno5596 - How would Jodl and Goering been extremely useful to the victors?
Oh it's way past that. Most of MAGA firmly believes we made a huge mistake in WWII and should have allied with Germany. Yes, it's stupid and treasonous but this is today's Conservative. Thinly vield Nazis.
Red eye ... my pops was in the Aluetians too. Same time ! He ended up being a litteral " cold warrier". At wars end he was suited for the Arctic and found himself in Thule Greenland . There he helped field the BMEW radar and NIKE ZUES ( I THINK) lines. Eventually his expertise was construction of the decoy Camp Century whilst fully committed to Project Iceworm . He finally returned stateside during the mid sixties as we aquainted ourselves. I was 16. On his deathbed he litterally told me of ICEWORM and his secret life under the ice. His was a life dedicated to American security by 20 years of estrangement as a cost to himself and family. Silent warrior. When i see honorable men and women sacrifice i am in awe that they hold that line . Yes it cost my family but so it goes . This world , this life continues because of it. Salutations to all that give .
Interesting video, but I simply cannot finish it. You have an interesting way of narrating.
“Interesting” ? You’re being kind .. unbearable narration . Pity

My German grandfather had to do unspeakable things at 17.
He made sure we all knew, it was him go to war or he watches his mother brother and father die then he'd be gutted.
He joined and about a year later he got hit by a Shrapnel, grenade. Was left for dead by an ss unit then an American unit saved his life when they found im he was in bad shape (you could see the war in his face at 80years old) ,he then was placed in a pow camp then released and moved to Canada.
Out of all my family I'm the only one who looks like him.
The sad irony is that Russian Generals ordered the murder of Germans and their own soldiers. They got off scot-free in this world. The NKVD murdered untold thousands of Russians, and the way they slaughtered political prisoners at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa is reprehensible. The actions of the Partisans were horrific.
The sad thing was that many of the SS soldiers murdered in the camps were recent replacements and not the ones who had committed the crimes. I do not condone the murder of anyone but to ignore the action of the Allies is not honest. Tito's partisans would have slaughtered a unit of Cossacks fighting for the Germans if the Americans had not intervened. It is not common knowledge that there were 50,000 Cossack men women and children forcibly repatriated to the Russians and as the American and British drivers were going over the bridge they heard the machine guns firing and slaughtering those who were handed over.
The Americans committed War Crimes as well. That' why it is called "Winner Justice".
Agree, The propaganda was and still exist heavily.
🎉 Thank you once again for another great production. I appreciate all your research, photos, video and producing your amazing history lessons. I always watch for new projects of yours. Thank you! 🎉
What did the Soviets do once they freed the people from the concentration camps? I'd like to honestly know the answer.
The Eisenhower Death Camps where just as evil as Auschwitz...Patton tried to stop some of this but was assassinated by communist commanders.General Patton became very good friends with numerous SS Officers who explained the evil that the Bochevieks did to 10 million minority white German Christian Peasants in Ukraine. Germany went east to save these people but the Bochviek backers (Rothchild) declared war by paying off the Allies to destroy Germany and their new banking system. (not debt based but labor as the value). National Socialism is the only form of govt that ran like a well-oiled machine. Getting rid of foreign bankers worked. The Masons were expelled from Europe and Rothchild was put in prison until the payoff.
Great video and presentation
Apart from the narrator who sound like he’s talking in riddles!
Why not be completely honest and also say the allies committed these crimes. There are instances where allies killed prisoners like in Sicily 1943. These are the ones I found by chance. Patton gave the order to kill anyone.
My father was on Sicily at the time. 4th Indian div I think. He witnessed the POW's being shot by the Americans. He said they shot quite a few at different times and places, it wasn't a one off occurrence.
At the time he was a 20 year old who had been fighting for years in North Africa. When I asked him why they were being shot he said something along the lines of that was war, there are no rules. People die, they had probably see their mates head rolling past them like a football when it's been blown off his body by a German bomb. What's the difference.....
@@xne1592 Well the difference is any axis soldiers doing that were court martialled and executed, whilst the allies could perpetrate any thing. The Americans never suffered destruction in the US by either Germans or Italians. Still, we are now allies, but people do not forget.
Joachim Pieper who was in command of the “Das Reich” panzer division who committed the Malmady massacre wasn’t executed for his war crimes. So unfortunately you’re just wrong, I’d recommend educating yourself before talking rubbish.
@@adamscruton2972 of course I'm wrong, unlike you i know very well geography. malmedy is in Belgium , I'm talking about sicily and patton. For your information, I'm well knowledgeable of wwi wwii and the rest where US, British and Australians fought and what they did.
@@adamscruton2972So that we share information about war crimes gone unpunished and justified by the allied side. ruclips.net/video/1YHRrQErZqs/видео.html
Don’t think that the Allies didn’t execute prisoners when it suited them. Nor were they punished for so behaving.
Victors "Justice".
What state do you think was responsible for the most atrocities?
The Soviet union by far.
@Spencer859 the Germans aren't even in the running? Note, I am not a Hammer and sickle fan, I am a 20th century history fan and a big fan of ww2 history.
@@senorpepper3405 I looked it up they are the third, wanna know how bad communism is? Soviets was first 62 mil followed by China 35 mil...
@F1REPROOFED those numbers are arbitrary. I can find different numbers, lots of different numbers. Whether it's only atrocities in ww2 or all time. I will say that China under Mao and ussr under stalin are among the top most of the time, for all time. People forget how bad the Japanese were to chinese, asians, and prisoners of war during the war. They were arguably as bad as the Germans, if not worse. If you take regimes over their full length that they were in power, I guess I can get on board. But I believe this video was about ww2 and thats how I was looking at this subject. I believe that the major axis powers, Germany and Japan, were worse than the soviets. The soviets were bad but they also had been invaded. In the context of ww2, the soviets were marginally better than the axis. The eastern front was horrific and both sides were terrible to the other sides civilians and pow's. I'd say for someone to say the ussr is worse, they're splitting hairs or are so anti hammer and sickle that they can't say anything but the worst about them. You know why I call it hammer and sickle? You tube won't let me say the c word. I get into too many arguments with modern day ones and maybe you tube sides with them.
What happen with americans soldiers wich have committed war crimes in Vietnam, Iraq etc. ?
Nothing. Who's going to hold us accountable you? You and what army?😂 You talk about atrocities of war crimes but completely omit everything the so-called religion of peace has done, how many people has the religion of peace killed since it's inception more than Christianity I bet. More than Americans for sure. But that's okay continuing to blame America for everything that's fine. Everybody wants to blame us until they need our money or our bullets, or our blood. And it's oh America come save us come save us.
The Mai Lei massacre was published in in old back issues of Life Magazine, plus a much later documentary on a PBS program. Both are emotionally distressing but should be compared with the WW2 Holocaust.
@@barbaraguntfat3047 mai lai was nothing compared to what the usa did to cambodia (a non combatant). Also the usa killed more civilians than germany did in ww2. They were the only country that solely targeted defenseless civilians. Same thing the did in the korean war. But they were better at keeping that under wraps. The starvation in the "concentration camps" was due to the usa fire bombing german food supplies. But we cant bring that up. We just have to say "omg look what these darn nazis did". What a joke. The usa government is the most evil terrorist organization of all time and its not even close. Did you know the us has not stopped bombing countries since ww2? Think about that.
@@bradsanders407 "Fire bombed German food supplies" lmao. So despite open rhetoric about Jews before the USA properly joined the European theater, in your mind, the Germans had the intention of keeping them alive🤣. This is obvious virtue signaling. The USA is not the "only" country that targeted/kills civilians during war time either. Whether its intentional or not, civilians die in war. Vietnam was a mistake after ww2 and our hands are not clean, yes, however your "not even close" statement isn't even close to being true.
Despite any wrongs by the USA, millions of people fled or died trying to escape the subsequent ideologies in their countries for western ones (North America, Europe etc.)
Nothing
You are awarded a medal. You do not win a medal. It's not a game show
Why did some get executed in the field and others went to trial?
Political necessity for both internal & external reasons. In a plain way, just to declare/redeclare who's in charge now.
Not some most were executed in field

Czech civilians behaved terribly towards ethnic germans post war. They were just as bad as the germans and the bloody retribution carried on unabated into the late 40s.
What sticks in my mind is the way they treated orphaned children. They were left to fend for themselves in the woods and ruined buildings..worse awaited those taken into the same concentration camps vacated by the Nazis.
Nobody came out of ww2 with clean hands..
It gives us a good idea of how people will behave during and after the next war. Don't think we have seen the last of war. It's just a matter of time before the next one.
God help us all. War is the crime, and we seem programmed to repeat its bloody dance again and again.
As an American kid growing up watching WW2 documentaries I think it would have been better that these men lived in prison for the rest of their lives rather than but an end to them quickly. They had in store for the world imprisonment. 🤔
who cont the mead ear cont ur mind son
Most Republicans are now saying we should have been on the side of the Nazis. So the descendents of these monsters would be championed by the political right.
Cost? What is the purpose of keeping any animal in a cage for retribution, or any reason?
"As an american watching american made documentaries" yeah thats one way of letting everyone know you dont know what really happened.
@@bradsanders407sadly, countries don't own up. In very recent "Wars" the USA Street is well known for "collateral" damage according to UN Troops. "Own Goals' are very tragic.
The commentator has a good voice for silent movies. This is not a.good voice for commentating
The commentator is not English, this is clear to anyone listening.
He definitely is English. He just has no idea how to read a script.
The US military committed numerous war crimes but no one talks about that. It saddens me that these crimes were committed, but our hands are not clean. Vietnam is a good example of the crimes this country has done.
All the did was commit war crimes in ww2. They were the only country who solely targeted civilians. Then lied and downplayed. Claiming only 25,000 died in Dresden. What a joke. Anyone who seen pictures of Dresden after the bombing can plainly see theres no way only 25,000 were killed. In the korean war they did the same thing but was able to keep it under wraps a lot better. But they just systematically started bombing cities clearly just trying to kill as many civillians as possible. Then they did the same thing to Laos. Did you know per capita Laos has been the most heavily bombed country by the usa ever? And the usa has never been at war with freaking Laos. Its a landlocked tiny 3rd world country on the other side of the planet. What on earth could possibly justify such nonsense? Then during the Vietnam war the us bombed Cambodia (a non combatant). Targeting not only its cities but they also napalmed their rice fields causing mass starvation and giving rise to Pol Pot (who the us supported) and the Khmer Rouge. I could go on and on. Did you know the us has not stopped bombing other countries since ww2? Think about that. A true blue evil empire.
New to planet earth, huh? Man’s inhumanity to man is from time immemorial. On top of that, history is written by the victors. Inhumanity is the hallmark of war. I can’t think of a war in history that didn’t see inhumanity

What a haunting picture of Dostler at 16.57
Why haunting?
Stalin and Bomber Harris were never judged for their crimes.
And Dwight Eisenhower for committing genocide at Rhine meadows death camps
Germans got off lightly
The victors write the history..... and the war crimes of the allies go unrecorded....
I agree, Years and years a propaganda in schools have brainwashed and scared many into not even questioning the called facts about the war, The truth always welcomes questions but lies never want to be questioned. All you have to do is look at how they have inserted a wikipedia comment on this video. I remember watching video documentaries in my school as a kid in Chicago that was full of lies about WW2.
And what were those?
@@devildoggaming4603 You have to be brainless to believe war crimes had not been committed by all sides in every war.
Not reading ruined the video
My great grandfather was part of the unit that liberated Auschwitz. He was a man who had no problems talking about his combat, even his experience bludgeoning an SS officer to death with his rifle. However he couldn't talk about what he saw in the camps without breaking down and crying, his journals are completely blank from the camp.
unless ur grandpa was Russian he wasnt actually there..also on the day of lib of that camp it was 3ft deep in show..the images shown were reconstructed weeks later
If these camps were killing grounds for Jews then how could they be “liberated?” Why would the SS leave anyone alive?? You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Did your great grandpa talk about the 25,000 Polish Army officers, doctors, priests, lawyers, university professors mass murdered by your country in 1939??? Each by a pistol shot to the back of the head? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Yeah, my Grandpa killed Hitler. He just didn't tell anyone 😅😅
You speak really good english for being russian.
Japan's historical distortion, historical revisionism, is too absurd
Germany reflects on itself
Germany teaches history accurately
The Japanese should emulate Germany
Come to Korea and study
There is a lot of historical evidence
Every country has a dark history. That's one thing. Whether they are ashamed and regret the wrong doings in the past and not cover it up is another
the Asian Holocaust
the Asian Nazis
Japan should reflect on itself
Germany knows how to reflect on itself, but Japan doesn't
There is a lot of historical evidence in Korea
It's an accurate history
Imperial Japan was a serious, twisted evil empire
As soon as industrialization succeeded, it invaded the neighboring country
I must say that American soldier was necessary and it saved at least 20x more lives considering that Imperial Japan never wanted to stop doing Asian holocaust.
Thank the American soldier for stopping the Asian Nazis
The adults told me a lot of stories
But Japan denies history
You have to reflect history correctly to get along well in the future
For future generations, too
Japan must learn the right history
For future generations
Americans didn't take waffen ss prisoners at all and shot thousands, even unarmed men with arms held up with white flags. Patton had shot Italian soldiers and German soldiers too. But we rarely hear this.
But bankers who financed them they lived😂

What a complete Joke.
Lol "moral high ground" like the allies knew anythimg about the moral high ground.
Lol "moral high ground" like the allies knew anything about morality. Also its not future ignorance. Its elimination of past ignorance by information sharing. Only a d d d would think things went down the way the allies claim. It was the allies (mainly the usa) whose sole tactic was murdering as many civilians as possible. Not germany or japan. Even at pearl harbor they didnt target civilians. But cowardly usa only targeted defenseless civilians. Wake-up and get off your high horse.

the soldiers and responsible from the east and west forces attacking Germany officers who made numerous war crimes by themselves during this period were taken to responsibility too? No? WOW, what a surprise ... and lost all moral justification with that ...
THEY didnt start it, the krauts did.
They too did war crimes, but far less, not in the millions.
The allies did not murder civilians in the millions like the Germans.
Many stock newsreels and stock photos, but many not widely known; and good biographies, photos, and connected details.

Actually it was the British who started WW2
Engaging in combat against non-combatants is a serious moral war crime. You need to leave the citizens alone as much as possible or you are a war criminal.
Yep and thats the US main tactic in war. Kill as many defenseless civilians as possible to get the country to quit so they dont have to fight like actual men. So unbelievably cowardly and shameful.

This past televised debate reply is from President Biden to 'Chito' face!!!
My great-grandmother recently gave me letters that my great-grandfather wrote to her while he was in Auschwitz. Sometimes he would have to work a double before he was able to return to his officer's quarters.
With the way the prisoners were treated, I wouldn't even mention that. Long days of making other people's lives miserable is nothing compared to what those poor people endured. There's a big difference between being at Ausehwitz and being in it.

@@Boo-dawg. You can't censor history. That's disrespectful to the victims of a double shift.
Are you a professional troll or simply an unpaid amateur ?
War crimes is something that every nation involved in the fighting has thier incidents. For instance, in the air war over Western Europe, American fighter pilots were known for shooting German pilots in their parachutes, in particular in the later part of the war when the Luftwaffe began fielding jet fighter units. It was known that the jet pilots were the elite of German fighter pilots, in many cases, top scoring aces with more than 100 kills. The Allied air forces wanted these men killed, as they were tearing swaths through the bomber formations.

WWII was to give the Rothschild family control of the banking system around the world. It was also to strip away power and wealth from the Catholic Church.
