I listened to an account of a WW2 German panther commander who was describing that retreat. The soviets had already captured that autobahn and were entering Berlin. I can't remember the author's name or book, but the journey sounded truly terrifying. The description of carnage, dread, fear, determination, destruction etc... was shocking and spellbinding. The Germans were fighting back, but Soviets had overwhelming numbers. I think the majority of German military and civilians did not make it to the Elbe river. I wish I could remember the web site. It was one of those WW2 stories channels, with an AI voice dictating a book. maybe it was Eberhard Baumgart "The battle of Halbe 1945" Thanks for your trip down that lane, definitely peaceful compared to the above. There must be thousands buried there.

Its true, there are still a lot of relics left there. But thats nothing compared to Halbe right after the reunification of Germany. I heard stories of diggers who were there back then.

I could compose an essay, but shall restrict to point form. 1) Thank you for your energy and effort, for your empathy and respect, and for caring. 2) you aptly describe what for most people are the unimaginable horrors that arise from war. I believe that the majority of the general population haven’t the slightest notion of the fine balancing act of “treading the tightrope” that we call “our lives”. 3) That forest likely littered with personal effects/ artefacts, and wreckage of ordnances but also with physical skeletons, for me it “feels” full of ghosts. Every artefact is associated with a “real person” from the past 4) We need to keep memories like these alive, to hopefully try learning from our past, and to respect all the victims of conflicts 5) Never forget

This video doesn't have well-preserved, extensive bunker systems, big guns remaining in their emplacements, or other such things.

It gives us a view of that particular moment in the history of World War II that is filled with tragedy and ill-fated humanity. This is brought home through the photographs of destruction that contrast with the forest today, which is remarkably similar. And that walk must have been quite the effort lol. Certainly you and EE must be extraordinarily fit by now haha. Thank you for bringing this to us.

Being a civilian and walking down this road and being shower with artillery shells had to be horrifying. One day you’re in your home or village enjoying life and the next fleeing your home to save your life. They must have done a lot of cleaning up on this road. I can understand still finding some artifacts still laying around but was imagining seeing parts of vehicles like wheels, tires,engine blocks and body parts. That sixteen kilometers must have seemed like sixteen thousand kilometers to the families that were fleeing. Very educational video.

EE you are so very full of compasion like your father deciding to make that 16 km trek. So much empathy and understanding for a young boy. I do have an understanding as to why you would want to visit that historical site. Of course, they were many stories of heroism and bravery amongst the German soldiers. They were only human after all. It definitely puts things into prespective and to be appreciative of what one has. No, you certainly don't want to be in the forest during hunting season.
