«How to upset Nazi interrogator»
Ah, Nazis! That mysterious tribe which appeared out of nowhere in 1933, conquered Germany, then started WW2 by invading Poland, and eventually mysteriously disappeared in 1945. Let's be serious and say out loud the factual truth: They were National-Socialistic GERMANS who created many concentration and death camps where German killed millions (mainly Poles, Jews, Gypsies) and Auschwitz was only one of those camps.
@@lovingmayberry307 Stop blasting him apart. Google this Warriors name & find his story. It's simple: I've done it many times.
@januszlepionko
Well that's what original Nazi abrevvation means. A member or supporter of German National Socualist party. Who told you they came out of nowhere and disappeared? Everyone who have learned about this knows that it took a change of generation to purge germany from the particular ideology. Then there are many offspins popping up here and there, most of whom never use terminology or symbolism, but have very similar ideas. Like invading and killing their neighbours to destroy certain demography and idemtity, etc.
@@januszlepionko All the socialist were killed after Hitler took control during the Night of Long Knives, you pathetic misinformation troll.

It's a damn good thing that there are people going around and interviewing these veterans on camera. Because we are on the razor's edge of WWII passing out of living memory.
And so many have already forgotten to the point that to some it never existed. 😢
Yes. Most are dead and the living are in their 90s or 100s.
@@libbylandscape3560 forgotten? Or having never known? If hardship and adversity are the fires in which a man is forged,what happens to those who were granted the option to avoid walking through those flames? If necessity is the mother of invention,what happens in the absence of necessity? These are the questions that have come to be the most persistent in the back of my mind in the past few years. We have had it far too good for far too long,and all we've done with these blessings is convince ourselves that it will always be this way. And God help me,I am FAR from being the exception.

@@AshtonRogers-se1zj While I hope studying history and honoring the lessons of the past can perpetuate peace, I also fear that not enough people will do so (whether from hate, ignorance, or apathy). Do you mean to say that people have too much peace these days? I’d like to know your perspective.

A true man of honor. Thank you, sir, for your service and for sharing your story. I know war is horrible. The world needs to know history from the man who lived it.
Amazing, My dad told me the same exact story. He was a B-24 Tail Gunner, Shot down 9 missions in, and a prisoner of war in Stalag Luft III. He told me they marched him in and laid out his whole like just to show him that they already knew he didn't know any important information. My father passed on in 1998.
The USAF didn't start until after WW2, his photo incorrectly states Air Force but he was in the Army Air Corp.
@@ooneybird27 My dad told me very little, never talked about the war, would always leave the room if war movie was on tv. and mumble "that's all BS". I think he had serious PTSD most all of his life. He had aversions to loose hair and cock roaches. He did tell us some funny stories though like flying low over Italy and checking their guns by shooting near the farmers to scare them. They would fly those big B-24's right on the deck.

I met a ball turret gunner a few years ago. He still had ptsd after all these years. His wife was comforting him as he was telling me about how horrible it was to sit in that turret while getting shot at and how horrible the flak was. He said he never got shot down, but his plane was shot up plenty of times, including having its tail almost severed.
My uncle was a ball turret gunner, he flew 50 missions. He gave me my first job when I was 12 years old. He started out as a tail gunner in a B-17, then put in as the ball turret gunner when the previous turret gunner was killed. Later, the crew was switched to the B-24. He said they kept raising the number of missions required due to the high incidence of deaths.
At an air show I met a B24 crewman. He told me the story of how a row of 24’s ready to taxi, engines running, a nurse was driving past in a jeep, waving at the crews. The girl suddenly mad a hard left turn, in between 2 B24’s, only she mis judged and got caught by a spinning prop. As he told me the story, he cried for this girl as if it had happened yesterday. I felt so bad for this man, having to live with this horrible memory.
My father was a ball turret gunner as well. Multiple missions as well as D-Day. He was hit in the ball but survived. Ended up in a sanitarium after discharge Horrible frost bite on his face that turned into bad skin cancer later in life. He never mentioned the war. When he was in his 90's the only thing he would say when asked was "I loved the war". Sure Dad.........
I’d say the chances of a ball turret gunner being taken out were pretty high

@@KyleDownsFTW ummm, an American soldier being interrogated by a filthy Nazi.... fill in the rest
It's a euphemism for being alive and having some moderate of health.
Glad to see these interviews are happening before it's too late. My grandfather was in the RAF and passed a few years back and did several interviews. That generation was tough as hell.
I'm just blown away that Nazis interrogated people with forms. That's some ruthless efficiency right there!
Grandpa said the same thing. Their file on him even knew about schooling. Mind you this was long before computers. Amazing 😮
It was all public record, all they needed to do that was access to newspaper archives. As others in your squad or platoon broke under pressure they'd get more to work with to make it seem more comprehensive, but it usually wasn't actually deep. For instance, they could find an obituary for a parent, they'd then have all the living relatives' names, and where they lived, that would lead them to graduation notices, wedding announcements, etc. The B-17 thing comes from other POWs either cracking and talking, or talking amongst themselves when they think no one is listening.
.
They must have had spies in the States (and other countries) who researched for and informed the Nazis.
@@RakastaaKissawell sure, but how did they access these archives from across the atlantic ocean? in a country that they were at war with? did they write the local newspaper in boise asking for information on a pow? did they waste their spys time?
@@ghostlight69420 There was also a large Nazi movement in the USA.
Frenchman, British & Italian were captured fighting for the resistance.
The Frenchman is taken, tied up & interrogated. He lasts half an hour.
Next the British guy is taken, tied up & he lasts an hour.
Finally the Italian is taken, tied up & interrogated for hours. Eventually he comes back and the other two want to know how the Italian resisted so long.

LMAO
I've heard this before that the Nazis had a lot of personal information on many prisoners, right down to grade school records. I've never known how they got all of this information and how they transmitted it all back to the enemy.
Probably the same way as the ruzzkies are doing it now. Agents and money.
Read up on Hanns Scharff Wikipedia. Get his book at the library. The Germans listened to the radio chatter between airplanes plus they pieced together small insignificant bits of info. Scharff once asked an airman at intake how his dinner was with x aircrew member. He was given a list of incoming prisoners and asked for the files they already had...so when they came in he struck up a casual conversation and asked them to sign in his autograph book. Many times he would show them entries from prior captives and their whimsical comments. Scharff eventually moved to Calif and started a mosaic business. I believe he did the floor in the Calif Capitol.
You don't think they had spies in the US military? Of course they did... and turncoats.
Shows just how many says there where in our own ranks. It's all basic personal files that I'm sure they got. A hold of an would transmit back to the Germans. The mafia really came in an started cleaning up the spy leakage problem about 2 years into the war
The Bush’s financed them lyssen

This is actually a really good example of how torture is used. A lot of people think it’s “hurt them while asking them questions until they give you the answer you want” which always results in the same old “people lie to make the torture stop.”
In reality, torture is conducted by asking many questions where you already know the answers with one or two snuck in that you don’t know. That way you can tell when they’re lying, but the victim doesn’t know which questions are unknown so they have to tell the truth to avoid punishment
Interrogation, not torture.

Best comment no-cap
Pilots and crews that go into enemy territory get counter interrogation training for this exact reason.
You know what's weird, they didn't then. And they got shot down all the time, because the planes weren't as good as they are now. We even had family friends who were German and Polish speaking, who had dragged themselves out of their plane wrecks, and started walking. They found random people on the road, and just asked them where the Americans were! The civilian Germans were tired of the war, and some of them were starving, so they would share rations with them, and just have a conversation with them, and the people would tell them honestly the directions to the British and American lines.
“Don’t fill out any forms. Ok you’re trained, get on out there”
@@Hollylivengood that’s actually true but I believe the reason for that was ww2 pilots didn’t have as much information as they would now. Obviously there’s a lot more advancements in military avionics.
@@Hollylivengood read a few stories of american pow kept on japan mainland escaping during the fall of japans regime...this was towards the end of the war as the only people left were mainly officers and high rank but yeah same thing. The people were friendly, honorable and helped save alot of POW from those camps, they were tired of the fighting and just wanted to go back to their lives.

I never attended SERE training, yet I heard copious stories about it whilst attached to the 509th Geronimos at JRTC, as an OPFOR training aid to various Groups in for MOB Training.
1 time I was captured by the 20th Group, they gave me a taste of the experience, due to me pelting them with so many questions about it.

My brother was a RAF fighter pilot. He had intense (and scarily realistic) training on what to do if captured and interrogated. The Number1 rule was to say Nothing other than 'name, rank and serial number', no matter what. Even the most innocent 'Yes' ( 'So, this is your name, rank etc?' 'Yes' ) could be used in edited propaganda videos, and they showed him what would happen; 'So you knew that the school you bombed was full of children?' 'Yes'...
EDIT: To add context, the Army is sent on exercise to find the downed enemy pilot, so the hunt is on, in the hostile countryside. Once captured (and you Will be captured even if it takes a few days ) then the 'enemy pilot' is handed over to the Intelligence Officers who will carry out the interrogation as part of their training too. It's all done as realistically as possible. Because it can seem ultra-real, there is a doctor on hand who can step in, who says 'I am a Doctor. I cannot be impersonated. Are you OK to continue, Sir?' That gives the pilot a way out if it gets too much, though they all try to make it until the end of the exercise. It's grim stuff, especially if carrying an injury from escaping the hunt.
This was recently, obviously?.
@@uncletiggermclaren7592 It would have been early on in his training, as part of the 'escape and evade' exercises, as he moved from helicopters to Harriers, so I'd estimate it to be around 35-40 years ago.

Ironically, the RAF repeatedly bombed German women and children with phosphorous, (napalm) . All German towns and cities were to be targeted, the entire German population was to be massacred, Churchill and Lindemann would see to that. All German towns and cities above 50,000 population were 50% to 80% destroyed. Dresden with a population larger than that of Liverpool was incinerated with an estimated 500,000 civilian inhabitants burned and buried in the ruins. Hamburg was totally destroyed and 70,000 civilians died in the most appalling circumstances. Cologne with a population greater than Glasgow's was turned into a moonscape.
clearly America fought the wrong side
What's the "right" side? Germany?
The "I know where you live" vs the "So do I"
That’s insane how that German officer was able to find out all the info on the Airman. Especially with the technology and the means of getting info at that time. Imagine what they would do now with the amount of information readily available at the touch of a button.

@@armandhammer9617Highly covert intelligence operatives. International spies. They really had those back then.

I heard a story about a prisoner in Germany, badly wounded, he hadn’t heard someone speak with an American accent for over a year. One day he heard English spoken with American accent he bout lost it hearing that sound and was rescued.
That’s not a story lmao
Today in things that never happend. Kids nowadays Will like everything, false. Broken world
Did you have a stroke midway😂
What a story
@@Replayedzomg this seems like a totally reasonable story? there are significantly weirder true war stories out there.
Thank you for keeping us safe. Sorry you were treated so badly!
Many British (and American) interrogators were far rougher and harsher with German prisoners. The British were found to be operating practically a concentration camp. Prisoners were genuinely mistreated. It was a.real embarrassment for the British government.
Treated so badly? The lead interrogators for the SS massacre of American soldiers at Malmedy 1944 were American Jews.. Most of those SS guys had been beaten to a pulp - several times. They practically had to be brought into court on stretchers. But, hey, if thanks do that, it's OK. Right?
@@alastairbarkley6572 I wonder why we never hear about that 👀👀💀

They let him live.....
I didnt know Shrek was in the Nazis. Well this goes without saying, never ask shrek what he was doing between 1938-1945.
We owe this man and everyone else that has sacrificed for their country so much. Agree or disagree with what the military does but the men and women in it have fought, bled, and died so we can have that right to disagree. That earns more than a paycheck and college tuition in my book. Their sacrifice not only should also earn our respect but our eternal gratitude as well. All veterans should be treated like the heros they are,not left to deal with their mental and physical scars by their lonesome when their service comes to an end.
I think that depends on what country. As an American, our freedom wasnt really at risk in these wars. We are in a very unique position over here, half a world away from the major contact, the enemies have no real place to launch their operations from, and they have to make it across one of the oceans while our ships, subs, and planes pick then off.
The countries we aided. Absolutely those men fought for their free and Americans fought for their freedom
But us Americans havent fought for our own freedom in a LONG time. We spend most of our military might fighting for other peoples freedom or oil.
All that said, I still cant fathom a war on the scale of WW2 and how absolutely terrifying it would be to fight in it. The men that fought were amazing.
Rather than 26, your comment merits 26 million appreciative thumbs up!
@@williamblackfyre4866
All due respect, but if you do not believe that the combined forces of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy & Imperial Japan were an extremely serious threat to every free nation on earth, then I humbly suggest you seek damages (or refund) from any history department that taught such nonsense.
@@williamblackfyre4866 interestingly enough all wars my country participated since I think 1989 were started by Americans, except one.
@@Petaurista13 that is kind of interesting, whats country are you talking about? Are they an ally or part of NATO?
Thank you for your bravery and service to our country !!!
Why would they kill the best anti-communist fighters?
My great uncle was captured by the Nazis. He was a resistance fighter. They caught him when a German patrol was coming up on a shipment of weapons to liberate a nearby city. He fired some shots to distract the patrol and told the rest of the resistance to run off.
They caught him and tortured him. Last I heard of him was through a fellow prisoner. Who asked my uncle why he didn't just spill the beans. My great uncle said "It doesn't matter how much I tell them, I'm never leaving this place alive". Then they tortured him to death and he never said a word.
I am glad my great uncle is still honored to this day, every year, on the same day.
Outstanding show Robert and Father Muir. Thank you for all the information and understanding you bring to us.
Viva Christo Rey!
Thank you Sir, for your story, service, and your bravery
But y'know, Donald Trump is not impressed by soldiers who were captured. He prefers those who asked a doctor to invent a fictional case of bone spurs so they could avoid their military service. Clearly a man who understands the sacrifices of patriotism.
Amen to that 🙌🏻

@@donjuanmckenzie4897 they liked them a hell of a lot more than the Japanese, that's for sure!
Em no.
It’s not a conversation they will have because they don’t actually care. If they did care they would not appropriate the culture in the first place. They told you everything you need to know about them. Narcissists don’t care but they will hijack your agenda. No point in having a conversation with someone who doesn’t care, cane be wrong and will change their response from question to question or person to person.
If gravel could speak it would be truly proud of this man. Thank you for your service sir.
If they knew so much about us in 1940 how nuch do you think they know now.
Oh buddy, it’s bad

@@NorthWinds83-hs3px I mean it was the Soviets who helped get rid of the Nazis the most, relax
@@NorthWinds83-hs3px Calm down buddy, your stupidity is showing.
@@scuffedcovers yeah but don't forget that the soviets were very low on logistics, USA gave them a lot of resources, the soviets were only focusing on the heavy industry (tanks, planes ecc). And no I'm not an American patriot I'm just a REAL history enthusiast.
@@mike0330and the east would've collapsed if not for the allies lend lease so chill out
If the east collapsed, Germany would be unstoppable, combined military industries of both, slave manpower from the soviets, lots of natural resources etc

My pops was a bombardier, 36 missions over Europe. Still the toughest man I ever knew, but this guy comes close!
I hope that He is still with you and yours ❤️
Knowing what the nazis were capable of, defying them took extreme courage.
My uncle died after war, from wounds sustained when he was shot down.. no-one escapes unscathed from war. Most were kids.
I salute your pops.
I had an uncle that was a navigator on a B-17. Flew the 2nd Schweinfurt raids. Lucky to have made it home.
My grandfather was a B-17 ball turret gunner. Was shot flying over Normandy on D Day. Got a purple heart. Lived the fullest life, I remember watching him water ski on lake powell. He had to be in his 70s at the time
These people only knew about war because it was thrust upon them. It will be the exact same with us.
Thank you for your service from a fellow veteran.
There is someone out there right now asking “why is this important to remember”… it’s not for honor of our country, it’s not for remembering the soldiers… it’s not for those who survived, it’s to remember the ones who died… it’s to remember those like Anne Frank who were persecuted and died because a group of people decided they should…
Edit: if you all are going to be disrespectful of the dead at least do it to people who weren’t good in their life
Anne Frank died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in February or March 1945. The specific cause is unknown; however, there is evidence to suggest that she died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the camp, killing 17,000 prisoners.
What's wrong with wanting to honor your country? What's wrong with wanting to honor the brave men who fought and lived?? Is a person only noble if they get killed or get a famous book about them put in schools?
Suddenly, one day, without any reason…
@@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhimbecause nationalism is exactly the type of thing that propagates wars. It was a large part of what built the nazi army to begin with. It’s something they regret falling into today. Nationalism is only good in small doses. It should never be a reason for war though.
@@RealKennedy Oh, there was a reason. Just not the one you're insinuating.
I hope he is happy to see what his country turned into after he "won".
"well, since you knew everything about me, please kindly fill it down for me? "..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you SO much to everyone who puts these types of interviews on here! Were on the razors edge of ww3 and i think this kind of content helps those on any of the firing squads understand the severity of their actions! STOP WAR!!!
