In that war,the right side won. The other side was conducting a criminal assault on human decency. What we don;'t see enough of is the war as fought by the Red Army, which was the crucial factor in winning the war. They caused 80% of German combat casualties, the other Allies caused 20%. Yet we don't see many films about that aspect of the war, no doubt because the Red Army was fighting for a Communist regime.

This short film captures the spirit of Hitlerjugend and the Bund Deutsche Madchen in both school and war settings. In the middle of all of this is a powerful and deep teenage romance between Johann Freudenburgher and Klara Hoffmann. When Johann was fighting in France, he couldn't understand why his girlfriend failed to respond to his letters. His squad joked that his girlfriend had met someone new. In fact, Klara was dead, unknown to Johann, having died during an aerial bombing by the Allies in Ludwigshaven. Over half a million German civilians died as a result of these air raids. The film was beautiful as much as it was dreadfully sad. It was moving and highlighted the futility of war.

it’s easy to dehumanise “the enemy” from conflicts fought, I think short films provoke a closer examination of how our impressions formed which can only be a good thing I think, conflict although at times inevitable always dehumanises the losers . This was a good piece of work simple and effective.

That's because he left out the scene where they went thru Belgium and killed every civilian they could find... or when they shot all their allied prisoners... So it's OK because even Hitler loved his mommy? I have just become aware of these "shorts" and while I appreciate the intent of their makers, the problem is the Germans are Germans. They are a people who cannot admit blame or fault. Yes, it's true the majority did not want Hitler or war... but when it happened they did what anyone would have done... they went along. However they were so horrified by the result, and what they found out their leaders had done, that it became practically a crime to even speak of it. They spent the next 70 years pretending it never happened. It is good to see they are now finally trying to face it, but even then, all of these films are late war period pieces, where they are already beaten and these young boys are forced to go off and die for nothing, wringing sympathy from you. Where's the film from 1940 when EVERYONE was on board the victory train because it looked like they would conquer the world? Where is the sympathy for the innocent people of Poland and France and the Low Countries? Right... they're not making films about that.... or the death camps. The germans alive today should have no guilt. No man is responsible for the crimes of his father. But if they are going to pretend they were the victims... all that does is plant the seed for it to happen again. It was feeling that WWI victimized them that prompted the starting of WWII. Face the truth if you are german - your ancestors did HORRIBLE things, and the world sat or enabled it to happen. (because it could have been prevented) In that light I will admit our side did horrible things too. The bombing of Dresden was a crime against humanity we would have been tried for if we were the losers. There was no need for it militarily. It was retribution, nothing more, and it was beyond vile and inhuman... but I didn't do it. All I can try to do is learn from it and see it never happens again. I do that by facing it head on, and admitting it was wrong.

There is an excellent book written about the 1SS Panzer Corps comprised of the 1SS and 12SS Panzer Divisions fighting the British and Canadians in Normandy June 1944 titled "Steel Inferno: 1st SS Panzer Corps in Normandy" by Michael Reynolds. Regardless of outcome and side preference it is a magnificent retelling of their successful defense of Caen and other areas in Normandy. Regardless of their youthful recruits they absolutely delayed and stalled the Allies' advances in their sectors. Gives one a great feel and knowledge of the poor tactics of the British and Canadians in attack and the superlative tactics used by the Germans in tactical defense, along with a history of the 12SS's development and construction prior to D-Day.

Croaker, it should be pointed out that the German forces in & around the Caen area were well dug in & in a high state of readiness on 6th June 1944, as they had been for some time previously. The German High Command had no intention of letting go of Caen (A huge road, rail junction & inland port) without a bitter, costly and protracted struggle! It had immense strategic importance for the whole Normandy region, basically, who controlled it, basically commanded most of North/NW France. Caen was also located closest to where the SS & Wehrmacht Panzer Reserves were stationed in areas just east of the Orne River & they were kept under Hitler's direct orders at all times! I disagree that the British & Canadians were not inept in carrying out offensive operations there at anytime, however they were then hampered immensely by operating in a relatively small area, landing & resupplying men & materials in what rapidly became a logistic bottleneck & under constant enemy artillery fire from German batteries from only some 8 to 12 miles distance! It must also be strongly emphasized that both the British & Canadian forces in Normandy took on 70% of all the combined (SS & Wehrmacht) German Armoured Units engaged in the Normandy Campaign in 1944 between the 6th June & 25th August, '44 (Paris' Liberation). Another problem of operating in such a confined area was that as soon as one attack was launched the Germans would immediately initiate a counter-attack, which effectively cancelled out the initial attack each time & led to huge, attritional casualties. It must also be pointed out that the local 'lie of the ground' & general topography (Bocage, narrow wooded lanes & rolling be-forested hillsides greatly favoured a defending force, much to the detriment of the attackers! However, what did happen at Caen, & in and around the Orne Valley & at Falaise was that the flower of the German Armed forces were bled, shelled & bombed into oblivion. Tactically, the German's ground forces were superb, due to the experiences that had previously accrued in Russia & elsewhere. Their equipment generally was better (Tiger & Panther tanks, Panzerfaust - anti tank weapons; MG - 42s & 34s could fire up to 1200 rounds per minute, the Krupp 88s etc.). However, strategically, they were eventually overwhelmed by the Allies huge advantage in men, machines, material & their ability to keep their logistical supply lines moving. The fact that the Allied forces could call in at anytime for huge amounts of devastatingly heavy & accurate naval gun support was an additional advantage that was put to effective use throughout the campaign. The Allied command of the air also effectively consigned the Germans to defeat both with the vast strategic Allied Bomber Force as well as the squadrons of Tank-busting ground attack aircraft (E.g. Typhoons) at a tactical level throughout this campaign & beyond till the end of hostilities in May 1945. As an interesting footnote, while you always must respect the efforts of the basic German soldier of WW2 or even in WW1 for that matter. I wouldn't be too misty-eyed regarding the fate of the Hitler Youth or any of the other SS units or some Wehrmacht ones as well. They justifiably accrued a reputation of vicious and utterly ruthless fanatics who seldom took prisoners, especially in the early days of this campaign. Ask the Canadians about that, as many Nova Scotia Highlanders were butchered after they had surrendered at Audie near the Carpicquet airfield to the 12th SS (Hitler-Jugend) in early June 1944. They actually got what they deserved at Falaise and elsewhere in Normandy, namely total annihilation! Bt the way, Croaker, this is not meant to be a Monty-justification, he made his mistakes there that's very true, but overall his plan worked! The British & Canadians absorbed most of the initial German armoured & infantry pressure that allowed Bradley & eventually Patton to break out from the coastal countryside in the Cotetin peninsula and western Normandy in Operation Cobra. & brought about the ensuing entrapment & disintegration of the German Army at Falaise. After Normandy, the Germans were not the cutting-edge armoured or infantry units as before, but the Allies were! All American, British, Canadian & Other international ground units in the Allied army had then received a bitter introduction into modern, mid-20th century warfare & they were by then very, very good at it!

Sentimental nonsense. Are you saying that all the soldiers who survived the war were cowards? This kind of "sorrowful", "mournful" sentimentality is a way of sugar coating war, and making it into a kind of heroic struggle where the only morality is obedience and "honour". It is not honourable to fight for a criminal like Hitler, to carry out his criminal orders, and to do your best to wipe out innocent people who have done no harm.

The Germans themselves do not go around talking about "war is terrible" and "only the brave get killed". That is sentimental nonsense. They acknowledge that their country started the war, that it used barbaric tactics and committed terrible crimes, and that they German people must take action to repair the damage their country caused, compensate -- as far as possible -- those they persecuted and murdered, and to ensure that Nazism never again gains power in Germany. There are many memorials in Germany to "the victims of war and tyranny", to the brave people who resisted Nazism, and, in the square opposite the German Reichstag, a Holocaust Memorial. The only ones who love to talk about how great the Germans were at fighting, and how brave their soldiers were when obeying the orders of the dictator, are the Nazis and their imitators. Not every German soldier was cruel and barbaric. But most of them knew what was going on, and many of them took part in atrocities themselves (or took photos of innocent people being hanged etc). Very few of them had the courage to refuse to follow Hitler's orders, or to take action to stop Hitler's crimes. But those who did resist show that some Germans had the courage to do what was right, in spite of the danger they faced. It is their courage that should be celebrated.

6 ай бұрын

I understand the phrase perfectly. I was horrified by Hamas's attack on October 7 -- it was as if the Holocaust was happening again. It is incredible that the Israelis were taken by surprise on this -- they supposedly have excellent intelligence about Hamas. The Israeli reaction is understandable, and the US is so tightly linked to Israel that it might as well be the 51st state. So it is not surprising that Biden rushed to Israel's side. I have no idea whether it is militarily "necessary" for Israel to mobilize such a huge force to subdue Hamas. So far they haven't used most of their ground forces, who have been sitting around for weeks. I support the Palestinians n their struggle for nationhood and independence. My own view is that the Zionist experiment has failed and should be ended. Palestine should be one country, without an official religion, composed of Jews, Arabs, and others living together in a secular republic like France or the US. I know this is not likely to happen in the foreseeable future. Israel has the right to defend itself, but it does not have he right to occupy and dominate the West Bank and Gaza; nor does it have the right to place settlers all over the West Bank in obvious preparation for eventual annexation. Now I support a ceasefire and the opening of Gaza's border and the restoration of utilities and supplies to Gaza. It would be good if Gaza and the West Bank were able to form a union and elect a government. It would be good if the Jewish settlements on the West Bank would be turned over to the Palestinians on whose territory they are located, and the settlers given land in Israel. In the long term, Israel and Palestine should be encouraged and given strong incentives to form some kind of union, which would have the goal of eventual inclusion in a single state, under a democratic constitution in which all citizens are equal. Most Jews nowadays live in liberal democratic countries where the form a minority, and rely on respect for human rights and democracy to guarantee their safety and full participation in society.

Here a narrative is told in which female innocence is considered a place of longing, while the courageous but young innocent man fights and dies. Come on, Riefenstahl would be proud.

Group identity is a real thing, yet it is impossible to assume that every individual would reason in the same way as others. The young man thought his duty was to fight, but in reality, he just wanted to be by his loved one, he didn't care at all about war, or politics, he was just preoccupied about the girl he was in love with.
