there is this old book called "the iron pilot" or something. it was written by hans ulrich rudel, it contains his memories as a stuka pilot on the eastern front during ww2... well he was and still is one of the most decorated soldiers of all time. he destroyed hundreds of tanks, trucks, planes, he even sunk a battleship. anyway, the book cover from start to finish the war on the eastern front, and it's specially interesting to me the last chapter. beeing a well known and decorated pilot, he met the top nazis many times, hilter included. and his last mission is interesting. while berlin was under siege, he lift off with a small plane with the mission to land in berlin in a makeshift airstrip and save the fhurer. he describes his night flight over germany, the remnants of the nazi empire burning, the battle benheat him, the crumbling of the world he fought for under his plane. all the pain and deaths and pure evilness, all for nothing. it's an interesting read.
There is a TV show similar to band of brothers from the german perspective. About a group of friends who join the german army at the time and go through all these events. It's quite different from Allied perspective apart from the French since they are fighting so close to home and shows how the German people were the first victims of the Nazi regime
Watch some russian movie like T-34. Russia unlike american in their war movie mostly Show German as just following order, Only politician or wannabe soldier like SS are bad, most are following order and some like the main antagonist the German officer just likes to fight, he doesn't care if you are russian or not , he just wanna fight to his heart content. Also ordinary German citizens while being looted by escapee Russian pow, seeing russian prisoner only get vegetables as loot in the German town, offers the Russian soldier some meat subtlety, Also German church offer russian prisoner clothes when they were looting for food. As they know the prisoner won't survive without clothes in the snow area

They need an entire campaign for the Last Tiger crew. The characters and missions were so well done. I've replayed it so many times. It's odd because BFV had so many issues and yet had this gem.
i believe it was in men of war theres a whole campaign where you play the same story as the last tiger, of course its a 3rd person perspective rts esque game.
I would have loved to play a full length campaign with Peter as our character. Learn more about his character and getting to see how his views change throughout the war and getting to learn more about the rest of his previous crew. What could have been smh. An amazing war story that had me wanting more.
All hung people shown in this scene were Germans. This scene wasn’t about making Germans realize that they were „the real evil“. It’s a „and this is what we have fought and bleed for?“ moment of disillusion where he realizes that they followed a reckless regime that dragged them into a war with promises of glory and a greater future for Germany, asking of hardships to overcome for this goal and this is what it all culminated into..
"The Civilians have been evacuated." Sees civilians running away from the Tiger, a man cradling his dead wife in his arms. "traitors" murdered by hanging. Sees Hartman who only tried to do his duty amongst them. "HQ will have a strong defence." The cowards in high command all fled leaving nothing but rubble and a poor soul hanging from the church.
The broadcast was perfectly timed as they are driving towards the "HQ". Nothing but lies to boost the morale even though they knew they already lost. What hurts the most was kurtz's death by a young, naive boy, who clings to hope of victory.
@LTPhantom451 propaganda? For what? EA is an international company and spinning world war 2 in whatever direction doesn't benefit anyone. It was a brutal war and both sides have blood on their hands.

I was at Hamburg two months ago and saw a destroyed church that its tower keeps standing but all burned and with bullet holes. It reminded me that amazing missions of The Last Tiger. 😮
German soldiers were fully complicit in the atrocities of WW2. Shut the fuck up about this winners get to rewrite history that is bullshit when it comes to this.
This wasn't about them realizing they were the real evil at all at least no more than the Allies. It's just about actually seeing the effects of war on people
This isn't a realization of evil, this is the realization that they've lost. Its a disillusionment with the ideology that carried them this far. Its asking "what ends when the symbols shatter?"
I haven't played fps games in years (except doom and Duke nukem) have WW2 games like this always been this masterful at storytelling? I've only really played cod waw and valiant hearts in terms of war games.
Yeah pretty much. COD WWII is a masterpiece of a story coming out just a year before BFV that you should check out too. However the latest WWII based game, COD Vanguard, should be ultimately avoided as its filled and rampant with inaccuracies and just generally not fun to play.
@@joed2431 Yeah Vanguard is pretty much everything you DON’T want in a WWII game, it’s best to try and forget that it’s ever been made. The Last Tiger in this video is probably one of the best stories Battlefield has ever made, but the one with the Nordic mom and teenage daughter was pretty much rewritten history for wokeness and the one in Africa basically glorifies war. Sometimes games can’t be 100% perfection I guess
@@thek.g.b301 I definitely understand that games can't always be perfect. War is not supposed to be woke it's supposed to be brutal and depressing. Do you know any good WWI games by chance? Specifically for cod series
@@joed2431 The best game cod ever made was WaW which you already played so there’s that. Like I mentioned before, the next best story by them is CoD WWII. After that for their World War Two games, the only things they have left is like the much older first games they made like cod, cod 2, cod 3, whatever. Just don’t touch Vanguard.
If you found this compelling I really recommend Downfall (Der Untergang), the 2004 movie that ended up being a meme. It's a masterpiece for capturing this despair in the last days of the war.
Thats a nice little catch how dumbfounded he is, in perspective he can't even hear the roaring sound of the tank engine, the deafening silence is enough to speaks the volume of horrors in wars, and what makes it interesting part is to show how wicked a man is capable of.
The part they don't tell you in this video is that guy they stopped to look at was their spotter they just sent out a few minutes ago to find a path for them
This story was the only reason i ever redownloaded the game. Well written, whether based on real events or not, it conveys the entire german side nearing the end of the war
"The enemy? His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is, where he came from, and if he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home. If he would rather have stayed there, in peace. War will make corpses of us all.” - Faramir LOTR
Yeah, food is hard to come by after a genocidal war that nearly wiped out your people. Also, how is that any different to what's happening in this scene?
@@game_boyd1644 It's not like Stalin forced a famine that killed 60m+ of his own people, but we'll blame the war, because Germany almost wiped out Russia, that's it, right? Ah, no they didn't. You mean this scene were the Germans realise what evil atrocities they did vs Wandering the street looking for food? Nah, can't tell the difference.
Yeah 600 french 306 british And 1 american Truly an horrific thing Now how many did the germans execute? And how many of them were actual soldier and not fucking kids
To be fair, not all Germans were bad during WW2 only the Nazis Out of the 89% of the country that voted during the 1933 election only 43.9% favored in the Nazi party, the majority of the country did not want nazi power in there country Even during the war the Wehrmacht and SS were different separations of groups SS being nazi members and Wehrmacht being non nazi members there were even generals in the nazi military who despised the SS and seen them as barbaric, they did say they were a usefully group during the war if you were in a tight spot But almost all if not all agreed they were Barbaric and criminals
Eastern Europe would disagree. The German army also helped the German death squads of the east murder 2 million people. The death squads were 3000 men. The army helped them a lot. It's not a hard search, the werhmacht have a long list of crimes they committed in the war. They weren't exactly angels that could call out the SS when they helped them constantly and carried out much of the killings and rounding up of undesirables and Slavic POWs to either die or work to death.
I would say that it is important to differentiate between the ones who did if voluntarily and the ones who had no choice. Both in Nazi Germany and Soviet Union your chances of survival when being against the system were low.
Don't ignore Wehrmacht warcrimes The idea that the Nazis were the only bad Germans in WW2 is very misleading and ignores a great lot about the nuances and events of the war.
@@johnnyboygriffin5764 If you think those numbers are atrocious, just wait until you do the research on how many people Stalin killed post world war 2 then come back here and tell me which side were the good guys.
The irony is it was germany and WW1 that secured communism. Before WW1 it was just a small movement for the most down and out workers. WW1 blew it up into a huge thing, driven by mass rage at the people profiteering from the war and the "elites" who were responsible for it. The Germans then smuggled one of the biggest names in Russias anti establishment movement back into Russia and helped fan the flames of revolution in the hope of taking Russia out of the war. War shocked and enraged to the point of irrationality revolutionaries suddenly seizing authority in a neighbouring country? It was a bit like setting a fire in your neighbours house to stop the current argument and hoping the fire wouldn't spread
@@raam1666 Yes it was. The Germans smuggled Lenin back into Russia along with several of his colleagues when they realised they were losing. It was a desperate gambit and it worked as it did trigger a revolution in Russia which took Russia out of the war. The germans still lost anyway. As for WW1 and communism. It cannot be understated how much that war drove up hatred of capitalism. One French soldier being sent to the front line reported arriving to see over 30 thousand deserters shouting about the things they wanted to do to the capitalists (youtube filters that sentence but it's pretty obvious, begins with a word that rhymes with deaf). This kind of thing became increasingly common place in all the armies. The modern form of communism may have been penned in London and warped into state communism in Russia but it grew in the trenches. Without WW1 there would have been no aggressive communist wave
Fool statement. Learn some history. You surely would prefer to be in occupied China or Poland kid. The phrase you learn in reddit doesnt make you look smart.
Yeah no. The Americans did actually prosecute individuals involved in the massacre of prisoners. For example, two massacres of Italian prisoners after the Invasion of the country. The Germans promoted those who committedsuch acts. Don't be naive.
My great grandad was saved by a German soldier during World War 2. If it wasn't for him, me and all my family I know today would cease to exist. They swapped uniforms after the war and my family in Wales still have it, I wish I could find his family and express my gratitude 🙏
I still remember my great grandfather was part of the general German army and served in a Tiger I and he told me tales of things like this, where he and his crew would spend nights in the tank speaking about what they witnessed like in these scenes and they asked themselves if they were on the right side when so many were against them. They eventually were told via radio about the Nazi concentration camps and he had enough, he drove his tiger with a massive white flag and the turret facing behind away from American front lines. US command in the area after realizing what their intentions was and quickly absorbed them into ranks and they found themselves fighting Nazi hold outs in the mountains all over after Hitler called out for guerilla warfare. I'll never forget him telling me these tales late at night around a fireplace. He said he always suspected the Nazi's were doing creepy and horrible things behind the scenes but left it at hear say and rumor, but near the end of the war when no one cared in the ranks of the Nazis he saw their true colors and what they thought. I'm glad I could experience third person what he saw for reals.........so fucking chilling....
People often overlook the fact regular Warmacht or German Army troops were not nazis but fought for germany. Many had realizations like this. Many died in the hands of SS. It wasnt easy.
I loved this campaign it was the best in battlefield 5 the emotion captured with the characters that commanded the tiger 1 was pure whoever wrote this campaign knew how to write
Most of Battlefield Vs stories were eather garbage or just boring. But the Intro and The Last Tiger truely were something. A truely cinematic story, close to the movie Fury but from the german perspective and still having it's own believeable tone.

yeah, so much so that the tiger is more silent than a honda civic
@@Studio.Op5001it must be one hell of a muffler on that tank, as well as soundproofing
That's the quietest tiger tank that I've ever seen...
Battlefield 5 was a masterpiece... The story, the depth, the music, the multipayer. It's a pity that it had to give way for bf 2042 ...
Too bad they didn't invest more time into it.
Like a multi expansion pack with the campaign along with the online expansions would have been optimal.
The biggest takeaway from this video is how whisper quiet the tiger tank was.
I was at Hamburg two months ago and saw a destroyed church that its tower keeps standing but all burned and with bullet holes. It reminded me that amazing missions of The Last Tiger. 😮
How did the chirch get destroyed?
Soldiers are pawns for politicians. Both sides believed in their own righteousness. In the end, winners got to rewrite their histories.
German soldiers were fully complicit in the atrocities of WW2. Shut the fuck up about this winners get to rewrite history that is bullshit when it comes to this.
Are you implying that fucking Nazis have been rewritten in history to look worse than they actually were?
So far, Germany is still used as a punching bag when the world might arguably be better had they won WWII.

Evil or not those outfits were Uber cool
This wasn't about them realizing they were the real evil at all at least no more than the Allies. It's just about actually seeing the effects of war on people
I guess people never heard of the british and their balance of power tactics...
We fought the wrong enemy.

Battlefield V campaigns were actually good. Specially the first one and this one.
Gotta love the xenon lights on a PzKpfw VI ...
This isn't a realization of evil, this is the realization that they've lost. Its a disillusionment with the ideology that carried them this far. Its asking "what ends when the symbols shatter?"
I haven't played fps games in years (except doom and Duke nukem) have WW2 games like this always been this masterful at storytelling? I've only really played cod waw and valiant hearts in terms of war games.
Yeah pretty much. COD WWII is a masterpiece of a story coming out just a year before BFV that you should check out too. However the latest WWII based game, COD Vanguard, should be ultimately avoided as its filled and rampant with inaccuracies and just generally not fun to play.
@@thek.g.b301 from what I heard vanguard biggest problems are that it's woke and too soft for a ww2 game
@@joed2431 Yeah Vanguard is pretty much everything you DON’T want in a WWII game, it’s best to try and forget that it’s ever been made. The Last Tiger in this video is probably one of the best stories Battlefield has ever made, but the one with the Nordic mom and teenage daughter was pretty much rewritten history for wokeness and the one in Africa basically glorifies war. Sometimes games can’t be 100% perfection I guess
@@thek.g.b301 I definitely understand that games can't always be perfect. War is not supposed to be woke it's supposed to be brutal and depressing. Do you know any good WWI games by chance? Specifically for cod series
@@joed2431 The best game cod ever made was WaW which you already played so there’s that. Like I mentioned before, the next best story by them is CoD WWII. After that for their World War Two games, the only things they have left is like the much older first games they made like cod, cod 2, cod 3, whatever. Just don’t touch Vanguard.
Desperation caused them to do evil, just about anyone would.
war always turns anyone good to bad, and anyone bad to worse
They were committing genocide and crimes against humanity long before they started losing the war
We needed more war stories like this
Also love how this was undoubtedly the best one and wasn’t even released on launch
blst, all this deep emotions just burn out at war
The story just made by winners.
None of you are immune to propaganda
👋🏿 I am!🫨👌🏿👍🏿
If you found this compelling I really recommend Downfall (Der Untergang), the 2004 movie that ended up being a meme. It's a masterpiece for capturing this despair in the last days of the war.
Thats a nice little catch how dumbfounded he is, in perspective he can't even hear the roaring sound of the tank engine, the deafening silence is enough to speaks the volume of horrors in wars, and what makes it interesting part is to show how wicked a man is capable of.
This is going to be controversial, but regardless of what you think, we are all human in the end. Each with our own hopes.
Some people are just monsters, not human at all, even with their own flaws
Lukewarm take but I agree.
What do we do now, drive at night with the lights on.
The part they don't tell you in this video is that guy they stopped to look at was their spotter they just sent out a few minutes ago to find a path for them
I wonder how much of this is true vs being another example of how history is written by the victors.
Well, US is every decade invading another country and bombing thousand and even millions, but yeah, the good guys are saving the world
Thats a very quiet tank
EV tanks, cutting-edge tech lol
White LED headlights in 1945 too, just shows how much the germans were ahead the allies xD
This story was the only reason i ever redownloaded the game. Well written, whether based on real events or not, it conveys the entire german side nearing the end of the war
They haven't realised, never in fact. They only always regreted they lost.
They are indeed not the real evil
The fact that this capricious, tired, 55-ton beast makes no sound and moves like a pedal car ruins everything.
Eh, well, it’s a video game anyway. Plus, it’d be hard to hear the characters over the sound of the engine
Honestly i've never seen such a good soloplayer since a long time ago but BFV did it just right every stories are so well done it's amazing
One of the coolest scenes ever
When he saw the city burn, he knew that all that fighting, death, sacrifice, was for nothing.
british veterans think fighting was for nothing looking at the state of their country in modern times
Same goes for British - American veterans. They say they fought for nothing.
@@robberhans9307 Britain and America are still here
@@TheReaper-ep2cqno, its different, ruined,
The title is very subjective, isn't it?
Nazis being bad is subjective???
This is the favorite story of this game.
"The enemy? His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is, where he came from, and if he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home. If he would rather have stayed there, in peace. War will make corpses of us all.” - Faramir LOTR
The Russian equivalent would just be you wondering the street looking for food. /s 'Press F to eat rat'
"Press F to eat rat" 💀 💀 💀

@@JABelms Cope with what exactly? Did you just learn that phrase from Reddit? I know the Nazi's were evil. See, now you can't comeback, lol.
Yeah, food is hard to come by after a genocidal war that nearly wiped out your people. Also, how is that any different to what's happening in this scene?
@@game_boyd1644 It's not like Stalin forced a famine that killed 60m+ of his own people, but we'll blame the war, because Germany almost wiped out Russia, that's it, right? Ah, no they didn't.
You mean this scene were the Germans realise what evil atrocities they did vs Wandering the street looking for food? Nah, can't tell the difference.
One day everyone will know who the real evil is
The Nazis

........................ that moment never came.
The allies also executed deserters. This isnt exclusive to the Axis.
Yeah 600 french
306 british
And 1 american
Truly an horrific thing
Now how many did the germans execute?
And how many of them were actual soldier and not fucking kids
The difference in the amount executed for desertion is massive, and Nazi Germany didn't care if you were actually a deserter or not

Crazy how the “good guys” are the winners in the history books lol
nothing crazy, its always been that way, but you can't hide the truth completely
@@gj3514 yep. You are absolutely right
So we're going to ignore World War 1 where there were no good guys, or the Soviets which were cruel and won the war, got it.
You guys are delusional
"History is a set of lies agreed upon" - Napoleon Bonaparte
Meanwhile in Japan: "War crimes? I believe you mean 'To-Do Checklist' good sir."
To be fair, not all Germans were bad during WW2 only the Nazis
Out of the 89% of the country that voted during the 1933 election only 43.9% favored in the Nazi party, the majority of the country did not want nazi power in there country
Even during the war the Wehrmacht and SS were different separations of groups SS being nazi members and Wehrmacht being non nazi members there were even generals in the nazi military who despised the SS and seen them as barbaric, they did say they were a usefully group during the war if you were in a tight spot
But almost all if not all agreed they were Barbaric and criminals
Eastern Europe would disagree. The German army also helped the German death squads of the east murder 2 million people. The death squads were 3000 men. The army helped them a lot. It's not a hard search, the werhmacht have a long list of crimes they committed in the war. They weren't exactly angels that could call out the SS when they helped them constantly and carried out much of the killings and rounding up of undesirables and Slavic POWs to either die or work to death.
I would say that it is important to differentiate between the ones who did if voluntarily and the ones who had no choice. Both in Nazi Germany and Soviet Union your chances of survival when being against the system were low.
bit of revisionism eh?
Don't ignore Wehrmacht warcrimes
The idea that the Nazis were the only bad Germans in WW2 is very misleading and ignores a great lot about the nuances and events of the war.
@@johnnyboygriffin5764 If you think those numbers are atrocious, just wait until you do the research on how many people Stalin killed post world war 2 then come back here and tell me which side were the good guys.
You want to see evil look around. This is the wrong side of history.
I would like to send you to 1930's Germany
Nah I enjoy me living outside of concentration camp and having my family life a full long fulfilling life, Nazis can go face the wall

Nice detail you can see most of the crew are young not experienced
Yes and we dropped atomic bombs on innocent civilians in Japan didn’t we?
Triggered by a game 😂😂😂😂
I am really glad we went over and helped secure world communism...
The irony is it was germany and WW1 that secured communism.
Before WW1 it was just a small movement for the most down and out workers. WW1 blew it up into a huge thing, driven by mass rage at the people profiteering from the war and the "elites" who were responsible for it.
The Germans then smuggled one of the biggest names in Russias anti establishment movement back into Russia and helped fan the flames of revolution in the hope of taking Russia out of the war.
War shocked and enraged to the point of irrationality revolutionaries suddenly seizing authority in a neighbouring country?
It was a bit like setting a fire in your neighbours house to stop the current argument and hoping the fire wouldn't spread
@@moreplease998No it wasn't.
@@raam1666 Yes it was. The Germans smuggled Lenin back into Russia along with several of his colleagues when they realised they were losing.
It was a desperate gambit and it worked as it did trigger a revolution in Russia which took Russia out of the war. The germans still lost anyway.
As for WW1 and communism. It cannot be understated how much that war drove up hatred of capitalism. One French soldier being sent to the front line reported arriving to see over 30 thousand deserters shouting about the things they wanted to do to the capitalists (youtube filters that sentence but it's pretty obvious, begins with a word that rhymes with deaf). This kind of thing became increasingly common place in all the armies. The modern form of communism may have been penned in London and warped into state communism in Russia but it grew in the trenches.
Without WW1 there would have been no aggressive communist wave
the Tiger is an EV that emites no sounds from the engine
The real history tell the otherwise. They were not evil.
Watch europa the last battle, pass it on
remember its not a war crime if you win the war :)
Thats American technique.
Fool statement. Learn some history. You surely would prefer to be in occupied China or Poland kid.
The phrase you learn in reddit doesnt make you look smart.
Yeah no. The Americans did actually prosecute individuals involved in the massacre of prisoners. For example, two massacres of Italian prisoners after the Invasion of the country. The Germans promoted those who committedsuch acts.
Don't be naive.

War ain’t pretty. Every soldier feels like the bad guy at some point until he realizes survival is more important than morals.
what you live for and what would you die for is the same question. If you won't die for any thing you live for nothing.
"People always forget, the first country the Nazis invaded was their own"
My great grandad was saved by a German soldier during World War 2. If it wasn't for him, me and all my family I know today would cease to exist. They swapped uniforms after the war and my family in Wales still have it, I wish I could find his family and express my gratitude 🙏
I still remember my great grandfather was part of the general German army and served in a Tiger I and he told me tales of things like this, where he and his crew would spend nights in the tank speaking about what they witnessed like in these scenes and they asked themselves if they were on the right side when so many were against them. They eventually were told via radio about the Nazi concentration camps and he had enough, he drove his tiger with a massive white flag and the turret facing behind away from American front lines. US command in the area after realizing what their intentions was and quickly absorbed them into ranks and they found themselves fighting Nazi hold outs in the mountains all over after Hitler called out for guerilla warfare. I'll never forget him telling me these tales late at night around a fireplace. He said he always suspected the Nazi's were doing creepy and horrible things behind the scenes but left it at hear say and rumor, but near the end of the war when no one cared in the ranks of the Nazis he saw their true colors and what they thought. I'm glad I could experience third person what he saw for reals.........so fucking chilling....
this never happened

I loved this campaign it was the best in battlefield 5 the emotion captured with the characters that commanded the tiger 1 was pure whoever wrote this campaign knew how to write
Most of Battlefield Vs stories were eather garbage or just boring. But the Intro and The Last Tiger truely were something. A truely cinematic story, close to the movie Fury but from the german perspective and still having it's own believeable tone.
The Butcher and Bolt story was fun
