Also, the narrator fails to mention the Russian invasion of the Baltic States and Romania (prior to OP Barbarossa)! As an occupying force fighting the French resistance can only hold off from civilian reprisals for so long! There's much more that can be said, but let me say this. The army general that says his men are whiter than white angels is a liar, and that goes for both sides! The Allies were worse than the SS for what they did at the end of the war (mostly the commie USSR folks).

Your point? With WWII, the Germans have had plenty of input into the history books - and as their massive mountains of documents from the war became declassified bit by bit, they have verified that the history books were for this war, much more accurate than for most previous wars. I would venture that the "official" history narrative for WWII is MUCH more accurate than for Vietnam and both Iraq wars!! Regarding the war crimes of the SS units, these have been VERY well documented: they were definitely not simply made up by the Allies post-hoc.

Honestly it's a big reason so many of them became brutalized, detached and nihilistic. We discuss PTSD these days and accept that some people will be mentally scarred and liable to do things they wouldn't ordinarily do - and, not to lessen what they've been through - but imagine serving in WW2, especially in the East in those brutal conditions, or in Normandy, under constant Allied Naval Gun and Air bombardment, to the extent you physically cannot move in the daylight. That is enough to drive even the most level headed and calm man insane. It's no surprise they committed the crimes they did. Sure some were as a result of the higher command sanctioning them, but the spur of the moment crimes at the front - there's a reason we see them increase in severity when the conditions around the righting become more barbaric in general.

lol indeed: the biggest mistake Hitler made, was attacking Russia before completely securing the Western Front, by conquering the UK. Strategically speaking, if they had done that, then launched an even larger and better organized Russian invasion, they could have forced the USSR into a peace treaty that would effectively take them out of the war. Then, help out Japan in their takeover of China, and the USA would be effectively isolated. The Cold War would then have been between the Axis powers, with Russia as a client state and possible ally, and the USA. The world would be a VERY different place today.... but given the many ideological horrors and weaknesses of both the German and Japanese outlook on the world (as in "Aryans are superior to all others, especially Jews, Slavic peoples, etc....."), the change would NOT have been for the better.

My Grandfather was at Dunkirk and he wanted to get off the beaches ASAP because he didn't want to get caught by certain brigades of the German army he never wanted to divulge to much info on that subject having lost comrades that way. He did go on to say though when he bumped into them again in Italy he did have respect for them in combat a formidable foe he called them !!! It was fascinating talking to him I had so much respect for him for what he done in those five years !!

After every one from that time passes away, this horror will happen again in one form or another.

Regardless don't be surprised when others don't give two shits German war crimes considering Stalin killed his own people in the hundreds of millions and his gulags served as the inspiration for Hitler's concentration camps, German soldiers and sailors and airmen coming back to find their children and wives beaten, raped and humiliated wouldn't turn themselves over but become further entrenched into national socialism or seek revenge, mind you the path carved through Russia and Poland and Czechoslovakia and Romania and other places in eastern Europe was much the same thing perpetrated by German soldiers as well, no country was innocent in that war so don't forget that even the waffen SS consisted of humans.

Disagree. While uniting Europe against an increasing Soviet threat WAS important, it could never have been done through one European country conquering all the others. After the war, the NATO alliance and the EU grew into a very solid bulwark against a Soviet takeover of Western Europe. The conquered peoples of Europe during WWII fought a surprisingly effective "resistance" war against the German occupiers, dramatically weakening the amount of firepower a Europe "united" by the conquering German armies could muster to fight the Soviets.

My wife asked who won the first Tour de France. I told her it was the 5th panzer army.

Interestingly my father who was in the British military (in the 1980s) told me they were trained that “you only take prisoners if you have the resources and man power to do so”. And that basically if you captured enemy soldiers but didn’t have ability to keep them captured it was a wrap for them. German pows were shot by the allies during the invasion of normandy under these exact circumstances. I wont make excuses for anyone shooting civilians but the idea it was just the SS shooting pows isnt true. Neither side had the resources to keep pows and unfortunately for that reason pows on both sides paid the price.

I’ve already said that I wont make excuses for what was done to civilians and my main point was regarding the shooting of prisoners. The idea that this was the sole practice of the WSS is nonsense. It was happening on both sides regularly during that time. The phenomenon was so apparent it even made its was into the show band of brothers. In reality speers shot groups german pows on two separate occasions. Wasn’t because he was “evil” just the the situation dictated there wasn’t the manpower to keep prisoners alive. An during that period the germans had even less manpower.

one does not simply disrespect the mighty SS. havent seen a SINGLE allied nor russian soldier saying anything bad about them. all of them respected the SS. as well as they should. it took 52 american countries and over 20 european to bring them down. that calls for a lifetime respect.

Are you joking? Special forces of today are trained organized function much different from any unit in existence then, they are light infantry not "Shock Troops". Special forces are trained to operate behind enemy lines in small numbers and strike swiftly and efficiently at decisive targets and then vanish without a trace. As a result their marksmanship and fitness standards far exceed those of regular units especially by WWII era standards and their training covers a broader range of topics from survival (which is broken down into separate jungle, winter or desert courses) to interrogation resistance training(where the recruit must undergo a simulated interrogation for days and is subject to all kinds of psychological games which includes physical beatings) then they must learn to operate all of the various weapons in service even those used in other countries, they also learn some very underhanded ways to quickly disarm and kill enemies all in addition to the extreme marksmanship and fitness tests where candidates have to haul 30 - 40 or sometimes even 60 lbs of equipment thirty miles (If I remember correctly) through various terrain which can last a few days and at the end face a marksmanship test and the entire thing must be done within a certain amount of time. The SS were heavy infantry, trained to break through defences en masse using assault tanks and fanatic zeal. It worked well but often resulted in huge casualties far exceeding those of regular Wehrmacht units. Their training regime was about five months, whereas special forces BASIC training lasts an entire year, after which they may specialize in a specific field. The SS were indeed brave and excellent "shock troops" but they cannot be compared to special forces of today which are clandestine units. They are a different type of unit and serve totally different functions.
