Your videos are always very intresting because it's talking about the little details of those events, the anecdotes aren't really popular, and I like it! Love your Channel! From France your neighbor.
What can I say? Amazing as always! Since the short-lived Democratic Republic of Georgia (1918-1921) was mentioned, here's a fun fact: the DRG managed to ally with Poland before getting conquered by the Bolsheviks and nearly a hundred Georgian officers served in the Polish army and navy on special contracts since 1922. Many of them fought in the WW2 in the Polish ranks.
Georgians also fought in french army because when georgia was conquered by bolsheviks in 1921 and georgian high ranked officers royal families and government went in france to be safe from communists some.of the georgian officers fought for france in africa
You didn't mention the fact that independent Georgia had closer ties to German Empire before it was defeated in the Great War and not only POWs but emigrants (after soviet invasion) took significant role in forming Georgian Legion. Even if you look at the Georgian flag, it resembles German imperial flag. Georgian officer, Shalva Maglakelidze was one of the most significant figure in these eastern legions and He had contacts with German army since 1918 ( some German troops stationed in Georgia before capitulation in 1918 ). Throughout history, Georgians generally tended to be pro-German rather than pro-British or pro-French in geopolitics. (fun fact, in 2008 Germans unofficially vetoed Georgia getting MAP for NATO and we got actual war with Russia months later) In general, even on the basis of fighting side by side someone, Georgians fought like side by side Wehrmacht (armed forces of your ally ) rather than Nazi Germany , I mean it wasn't about ideology.
These poor people where treated so badly up to the war, just wanted freedom for themselves during and as traitors because they do so after, Thanks for letting us remember it all Stefan
Great Video The “Ostlegionen“ are very interesting. One thing you could have mentioned is, that the Eastern legions had their own bravery medal. It was like the Iron Cross but with a green batch and it was named “Tapferkeits - und Verdienstauszeichnung für Ostvölker“ (Bravery and Service medal for eastern people)
Brilliant content Stephan. Thanks for the battalion figures gives me an idea of how many men were in the Wehrmacht. Saying that I always understood foreigners were not allowed in the Heer but were meant to only serve in the SS, you put a hole in that theory. Great stuff thanks bud.
Very interessting video! I know that arabic and a indian volunteer division fought for Germany as well too, did you a video about that? Greetings from Germany!
Now I understand why axis power have resist this war for too long Some people joined them to fight for there own independent state it's not just a war between the axis and the allied Thank you history teacher for this docu
Great presentation, however I think there is somewhat of a misconception about the Ostlegionen. The way I understand it, the Georgian and Armenian volunteers performed poorly in the Caucasus because most of them were former Soviet POWs and not willing to fight their own people. I think that is reinforced by the fact that many of them ended up deserting as soon as they were deployed near their countries. If I'm not wrong, Hitler even complained how Georgians specificaly weren't trustworthy ( maybe it had also smth to do with the fact Stalin and many of his spies were Georgian idk ) and that he could only rely on muslims as they apparently didn't bear such concerns. However the many Georgians who fled Soviet political prosecution as a result of the August Uprising prior to the outbreak of WW2, seemed wholly different people. The immigrants bore a genuine grudge against the Soviet Union and they were the ones who wanted to free their country from oppression and pushed those ideas. The ones deployed in the Abwehr units contributed to many Soviet POWs switching sides from behind enemy lines. I'm also sure the Germans used their extensive knowledge about the region and proficient Russian, for many other subversive actions. Just my 0,02 Cents.
Hello from India. Love the way you present the history.Can you do a video on the events happened on 20th and 21st june 1940 ? That is what happened on ground before operation barbarossa began?
@@shrirang68 No problem. I haven't covered it yet and cannot say if I will be covering it soon. A very good coverage can be found here: ruclips.net/video/eXZHX6oB_4w/видео.html
I've never seen anyone cover this topic fully, just brief mentions. Awesome job!👍 And one question: I'm watching "Axis Volunteers" playlist and there is one privated video in it. Were people upset with it, was there a controversial topic involved or did it just turn out not as good as you wanted it to be? It just bugs me since I know a couple of history channels, which had to private their videos just because some people can't take the truth and/or RUclips thought it violates its rules.
Thanks for your message. The 'missing video' you refer to was one I deleted (it was an older version of this one) because it was flagged for copyright issues. I used a piece of footage that was claimed by the BBC. Thus I had to cut that out, reupload the video. For some reason is still remains in the list. Therefore: you didn't miss anything.
One correction on north caucasus map: Abkhazia was owned by Georgia for most of history, and after fall of russian empire. Georgia still owned abkhazia they even owned sochi. While mountainous republic did claim abkhazia they never owned it. Ty for making this video. Caucasian legions are barely talked about
@@HistoryHustle yeah some do. Also one tip about Caucasus. Abkhazian can both refer to west Georgian indigenous people that lived there for since colchis(BC) and apsua who migrated in mass around 18th century. Modern abkhazian separatists are apsua people and have nothing common with indigenous people. Also as i said great video. Ty for talking about caucasus.
@@HistoryHustle they are very lucky to have a teacher so passionate about the subject, teachers are some of your biggest influences at that age. Keep up the good work.
about Texel:a dutch guy with radio contact to the British who promised the Georgians if they would uprise they would not be send to Stalin.So they cut the throat of their own officers(in total 400 Germans )while sleeping.But one bunker could not be taken over,so the alarm reached the mainland.The Germans reinforced until 20 may with personal and ammunition .The canadian authorities let the Germans fight though Germany had surrendered on 5 th may because they had no sympathy with these ugly killers.So the rest of them were send to Stalin.Texel was nearly destroyed what an unnecessary drama.This dutch guy was an idiot not a hero.Such a nice island.
The Ukrainians fought in armies such as the Ukrainian Liberation Army, the Ukrainian National Army, the SS-Volunteer Division "Galicia" and the Nachtigall Battalion.

@Coolin hopefully something new like the flags will be shown. But really to youtubers are just bringing out old obvious stuff.

Mark copy's on youtube as COPY in the comments. Thank You🍕🍕🍕🍕
Armenian soldiers help the Czech to liberate their country; Georgian soldiers help Dutch to liberate their country; Azeri soldiers help Germans to kill Polish resistance... do you need more explanations?
That’s because they were near the western allies while the azeris were near the soviets who would have killed them or sent them to the gulags if they captured them.
hey, again a very interesting video. do you happen to know if the Georgian Soldiers, when captured by the Soviets, got even worse treatment then the other "Caucasian" troops, considering, Stalin was born in and to Georgian Parents? also , can you consider to do a video on the Georgians that were on Texel at the end of the war? thank you very much!
There were french, americans, swedish, dutch, spanish, russians, ukranians, lithuanians, latvians, estonians, swedish, norwegian, wallonians, czechs, the named caucasians and many other groups in smaller number fighting for the axis (from either foreign or occupied countries). There were also a number of antifa germans fighting in Spain and later the USSR against national socialism. Back then people simply viewed it all diffrently, as they were living in that time and effected by all sides propaganda and not by once.
@@HistoryHustle my bad I had assumed SS because they were foreign volunteers but yeah I wasn’t paying close enough attention. Edit: For that matter though I doubt Stalin drew much of a distinction as they were being repatriated
At the end you should have went a little more into what Stalin did to all captured POW's - Even Eisenhower should have been charged with war crimes . . . en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheinwiesenlager
A nuance has to be offered at the information you offer about Rheinwiesenlager, since most of the Germans that died in the camp were already exhausted, malnurished or wounded men. Putting Eisenhower on a par with Stalin isn't correct.
@@HistoryHustle Murder is murder, to downplay starvation at the American camps while criticizing Germans for every little detail is really incredible - here is a example - on a documentary on liberated camps, a Jewish female prisoner said the final indignity was getting raped by a Russian soldier after being liberated . . . Nuremberg was a show trial compared to what the Allies did . . . And I've talked to women that lived in Hungary in the 1960's - another horror show ignored by the west - why ? It was occupied by the American ally Russia . . . 👋🇵🇹 appreciate your reply
You really want me to elaborate seriously on your comment, because it shows a lack of historical understanding. Lemme try. About Hitler and Stalin. You can compare the totalitarian dictators. The question is whether asking yourself which one was more evil than the other is the right one. One component often overlooked is that Stalin could live up to his evilness the fullest. Yet, Hitler got defeated. If the Germans had won WWII many, many, MANY more people would have been killed. Take that into account. About Hungary in the 1960s. By that time the USSR wasn't an ally of the US any longer. It was called the Cold War.
@@HistoryHustle You're looking at "historical understanding" by reading books - my historical understanding has been by 40 years of talking to people that lived through that nightmare - to get someone explaining their experience on the subject of rape / war (40+ years later) as they still look horrified . . . - books can't do that . . . Now to say it was a "cold war" . . . When Stalin starved 7 million Ukrainians it was before - H wasn't even Chancellor 1930/32 there was no war - yet again no one in the west criticized Stalin - after H became Chancellor in 1933 and he dared criticize the Communist - all of the sudden H makes the cover of Time magazine - for the worst dictator. Bankers even declared a "economic war on Germany" (1933) H didn't want that horror of the East to come into Europe - Oswald Mosley in a 1960's interview even said - "H just wanted to go East" - many average people outside of Germany supported H - Spain, Portugal . . . 1936 . . . So before the actual war or after the war Stalin never got criticized by anyone ! Except one Austrian painter had the courage to say what many thought - (the Communist are a threat) Over the years I've asked American soldiers that served in WW2 from NY to Seattle - I asked - "why was Roosevelt so friendly towards Communist ( Russian & Chinese ) " their reply surprised me, and I've heard more than most "historians" on war - they said "Roosevelt was himself a Communist" - now keep in mind these were different men from different states all said the same ! Remember those 20,000 Polish officers killed by Russians in Poland (1939) when Churchill was notified of this in 1940 - his reply was - "that was a year ago" . . . Thats my point - BEFORE the war - DURING the war - AFTER the war - it doesn't matter ! Incredibly western school history books ignored anything negative about Communist . . . The #1 & #2 mass history murderers ignored - we just hear about #3 History on WW1 & WW2 has been manipulated to whitewash 50% of it - the giggle now is the Russians & Chinese are a threat to the west - lol !!! Does that sound familiar ???? 👋🇵🇹 again appreciate your reply

Lemme try. About Hitler and Stalin. You can compare the totalitarian dictators. The question is whether asking yourself which one was more evil than the other is the right one. One component often overlooked is that Stalin could live up to his evilness the fullest. Yet, Hitler got defeated. If the Germans had won WWII many, many, MANY more people would have been killed. Take that into account.
About Hungary in the 1960s. By that time the USSR wasn't an ally of the US any longer. It was called the Cold War.
@@HistoryHustle You're looking at "historical understanding" by reading books - my historical understanding has been by 40 years of talking to people that lived through that nightmare - to get someone explaining their experience on the subject of rape / war (40+ years later) as they still look horrified . . . - books can't do that . . .
Now to say it was a "cold war" . . .
When Stalin starved 7 million Ukrainians it was before - H wasn't even Chancellor 1930/32 there was no war - yet again no one in the west criticized Stalin - after H became Chancellor in 1933 and he dared criticize the Communist - all of the sudden H makes the cover of Time magazine - for the worst dictator.
Bankers even declared a "economic war on Germany" (1933)
H didn't want that horror of the East to come into Europe - Oswald Mosley in a 1960's interview even said - "H just wanted to go East" - many average people outside of Germany supported H - Spain, Portugal . . . 1936 . . .
So before the actual war or after the war Stalin never got criticized by anyone !
Except one Austrian painter had the courage to say what many thought - (the Communist are a threat)
Over the years I've asked American soldiers that served in WW2 from NY to Seattle - I asked - "why was Roosevelt so friendly towards Communist ( Russian & Chinese ) " their reply surprised me, and I've heard more than most "historians" on war - they said "Roosevelt was himself a Communist" - now keep in mind these were different men from different states all said the same !
Remember those 20,000 Polish officers killed by Russians in Poland (1939) when Churchill was notified of this in 1940 - his reply was - "that was a year ago" . . .
Thats my point - BEFORE the war - DURING the war - AFTER the war - it doesn't matter ! Incredibly western school history books ignored anything negative about Communist . . . The #1 & #2 mass history murderers ignored - we just hear about #3
History on WW1 & WW2 has been manipulated to whitewash 50% of it - the giggle now is the Russians & Chinese are a threat to the west - lol !!!
Does that sound familiar ????

@@HistoryHustle A little about me I'm from Brasil - we had a WW2 war hero ( Egon Albrecht Lemke ) that fought for Europe - after Google bought RUclips his videos disappeared ! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egon_Albrecht-Lemke
