I earnestly remember my Gramps who served in WW2 generally stated that Germany, although there command and higher end troops were cruel as fuck, the soldiers some knew but most didn't. The attitude "Nazi" is easier to understand in the Eastern territories as they wanted very cruel individuals to lead the charge to get the job done faster. The Eastern Front was no slouch and required an absolute unit to be there. Western Front wasn't so tenacious as the fight with the Soviet Union. This is in part a issue of leadership though as most of the problems Russia faced was because they incorrectly handled everything after they finished WW1, so they fell behind in tactics, arms development, and even got cocky saying they overthrew the old shit government that was the biggest section of world police in the 1800s. Keep in mind that's where the arrogance comes in. They took the idea that they have a country of that power but they stripped it by the late of 1920s, 30s they started realizing they needed to do stuff again, and they pulled a smooth brain, gave null supply and sent soldiers to die against the Finnish soldiers. This created a heavy alliance and allegiance to Germany as only Germany was willing to provide any source of aid to them in there time of need, this is why there are some nations that people have declared the Communist party of any country to be corrupt people that need to be executed immediately. This also created problems where more people started gathering reasons for the party's "Start point" to be, such as why Neo Nazi party is a thing (even though they also do the same shit as the horrible groups without batting an eye and they claim its because the other party's are worse). His opinion of the Japanese people when he was set to keep the Marines in order during the occupation of Japan (small force count, they really didn't do anything). The soldiers in his fight against North Korea though, he straight said "Those fuckers are horrible, they murder, raped, pillaged, and then told the world we are the animals. With all the hell, deceit and evils they do we should just turn there country into a parking lot and be done with it" This implies he looked at his WW2 time and seen N Korea as bad as if not worse then Japan which he fought against in WW2, and he generally saw the horrors, he still deemed the civilians as civilians, but the N Korean people fully were willing to tell Americans off and say dumb shit regularly. Its never a "Black and White" understanding of the situation, political speaking the country was entirely fucked with its state after they were created. China was pissed at the UN who basically took Russia off the table at the time due to some political stupidity, this leads to Russia supplying weapons lines to North Korea, and North Korean government took those weapons, leveyed a army and tried to claim South Korea, (probably with Russian backing at the time, though it was definitely involved in Korea when Jets entered the picture). Human nature is to seek the power and own w.e they want. Its easy to abuse the system once you have been in place for so long. The United States is bashed a lot but they try to confirm consistently with the culture shocks of the world, often with assistance with people moving into the states. The issue is the radical sides of any nation and those are scrutinized as the heavy point. History has been set as "Who's right, and who is wrong" So in the Education system to cut corners the US explains "Evil Army is Nazi soldiers fighting Russian Soldiers" they are not specifically calling them Communist soldiers as by and large the way the American Government saw it at the time Stalin wasn't seen as a dictator as he was "Elected" the issue was the election was rigged and the government had to play stupid. It seen as how the government at the time explained the war in an essence as we really didn't portray anyone outside as the defender as righteous in our books. But we need a better history explanation for the subjects and how they shape the geopolitical landscape of the future as well as even Americans, Russians, and even some of the other Nations had people defect to Join Germany's side in WW2. In Fact there was a major offense to Captured American soldiers who served with Germany then captured by the American side as there was a set number of people that just exicuted these people promptly after there capture. This was seen in several explanations and even movies/shows show it now. This person targeted the sheer scale of WW2 as its not well covered in school anymore, its thought of by the Students as more of a quick summery, we basically learn 230 years worth of education in summery (thats shit mind you) in 1 year and then that education of which teaches basics like that dissapears and everything turns to "Social Studies" instead of "History" and thus you get wonder apes that have 0 clue of anything outside of the current. Some people think the US has had less presidents, always had its laws this way, and Just vibes and has always been around. Its superiorly depressing... some people have stated there arnt 50 states, others say America hasnt fought wars (I listened to that one while we were in Afghanistan so that was cancer to hear), some have pointed on maps at France and said it was America and I still think they need to get slapped with a map. Half of these clowns also dont read there basics to human rights and other shit from The Constitution or Other laws that pretain to them. People in America have lost that sense of reality outside the "Normal" they have here, they even expect everyone outside to speak the language they learned no mater where they go >. (Sorry for the rant, there is always room for improvement is what I say)

It really annoys me when people forget this, when they say that the war in Ukraine is the first war on European soil since the Second World War, and they forget or deliberately ignore the 1991 to 1995 war in Yugoslavia and the 1998 war in Kosovo and the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia, or maybe you don't count Yugoslavia/the Balkans under Europe, as if we are not people here, as if we did not suffer in those wars.

Its a shame that instead of the German way of confronting their atrocities and engraving them in stone, Japan has instead opted to steadily rewrite their history and paint themselves as the victims of WW2, and even celebrate their war criminals as national heroes. See many of Shinzo Abe's media posts for examples (rest in piss), though its unsurprising that he would celebrate it considering his family lineage of war crimes. His grandfather, Kishi Nobusuke "Devil of the Showa Era", was an absolute monster of a "person" that ruled Manchuria with an iron fist, and directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Chinese at a minimum with his rule (Guess where Unit 731 was located). But he hated communists so the US installed him as Japan's first post-war PM even though he was a Class A war criminal. I've had more than one Japanese person tell me on separate occasions, paraphrasing, "You bombed us and we forgave you, you should be grateful we are so nice." State sanctioned victimhood because their concept of "Face" and pride won't allow them to confront their history honestly. They gloss over the massacres, genocides, human experiments, comfort women, all of it. Fun fact on the last one, one of Godzilla's creators, Ishirō Honda, was forced to manage one and was shunned in Japan for writing about it publicly after the war in "Reflections of an Officer in Charge of Comfort Women" because the Japanese government was desperately trying to deny it ever happened and his writings shamed/embarrassed them. A lot of people go "Oh well, every country does that" and other typical whataboutism bullshit when I bring this up. I recommend anyone who thinks as much to read into the Japanese atrocities on those they captured and occupied. Read deep, find interviews, find pictures, and then apologize for being a fucking moron. It was savage brutality that made even Nazis recoil in disgust. There are interviews on KZread with survivors of the Rape of Nanking, to call them haunting in an understatement of colossal size. Its important to remember that these weren't devils or monsters, these were and are humans doing this to other humans. And now their descendants and direct beneficiaries are covering it up systematically, Japanese citizens are constantly being sold piss by their government and have been convinced its actually lemonade and they'll bend over backwards to defend it.

Belarus was a state of the Soviet Union during the war, not an independent nation. (Much like today you are a quasi-state of the Russian Federation today.) The figures in the video include the statistics you provided. But because Belarus was a soviet state, it's included in the stats under USSR.

I’ve saw this video numerous times now and it still manages to get me a bit teary eyed.

when watching this, it really kicks me hard when I remember a statistic I leaned in college. Apparently, before the internet the average person only learned the identity of about 2,000 people over the course of their life. So for every 2 figures on the chart is every person you've ever talked to long enough to know each other's names. For every 2 dots on the chart is an entire lifetime of names, faces, voices, and memories.

I like that you mentioned the German Resistance. According to Gestapo records, more than 800,000 German citizens were arrested for anti-fascist activities over the 12-year lifespan of the Nazi regime. For reference, at its absolute greatest extent the famed French Resistance topped out at about 400,000 members. And that's after the Allies had liberated most of France, and the Resistance more than quadrupled in size as the more hesitant sympathizers decided that the Allies were probably going to win, so it was safer to join up. While German resistance was less organized, the scale of it shows just how divided German society was under the surface. It's extremely sad that those anti-fascist leaders and fighters have been largely forgotten by the history books.

12:00 As a Serb that's been watching you for awhile. Wanna drop few things about it. First of all my great grandfather was an Machine gunner in Tito's Partisan forces. Born in 1928, he never really gave me an exact year when he joined. Though by seeing an wanted poster from 1942 in one of my history books here. That mentioned a person from the village I am from. I can guess that probably he joined at the age of 14. Either way by the time war ended he probably wasn't an adult. Now how Tito used to gather the forces. Is by German rule that was also used in Poland. For each Axis soldier wounded by guerilla fighters, 50 civilians would be shot, for an Axis soldier killed. 100 civilians. Tito specifically targeted them near villages so he could just waltz in and give them a choice to "join the revolution of the workers against the Fascist menace" or the other choice of getting shot. Also near my village was a place that Partisan and Soviet forces met. Thank you for caring about the shitfest that was happening in Yugoslavia after the April Invasion.

"Hotaru no Haka" or "Grave of fireflies" - gruesome Japaniese animated movie about Hiroshima, just to understand what is about being in those places in 1945. 18:55 - 1919 Spartakusaufstand, or Spartacist uprising, so many socialists and communists fought the Nazis before 1933, including the political, official program in elections, but considering that there was collusion between Hindenburg and... well, you know who, actually the elections were already a farce. And later during the war, the Soviets tried during the Czechoslovak agreement to negotiate with Poland to bring an army across its borders or eventually persuade the Poles themselves to defend Czechoslovakia, but as it turned out, the Germans and the Poles themselves agreed (which then hit them). I'm sorry, but when they say The socialist resistance is always overlooked about the resistance to the Nazis, which is a little annoying. But on the other hand, everyone remembers about the evil Stalin who killed people (although in fact everything was much more cunning than it might seem, and there are a lot of documents on this), and forget that the Communists for the most part were able to break the back of the Nazis. Heavy losses, yes, but unfortunately in the war you have to learn and complete the army so that it works effectively, given that this army had to be completed in an emergency mode. In 10 years, industrialization has been carried out, which has created a powerful basis so that even if territory, people and equipment are lost, they will not break down, but continue to fight, which was actually done. Sorry again, it's just... Well, it doesn't matter, everyone will forget anyway.

What i like about the video is that its not shying away to the absolute horrific stuff that happend

Something that's insane to think about regarding kamakaze strikes was that the biggest reason the Japanese navy started actively doing them is that they were objectively less costly than attempting traditional bombing runs. The US navy got so good at shooting down Japanese planes that the Japanese usually only got one or two bombers through to the ships if they were lucky. They figured that stripping a few old planes down to the minimum, cram them full of explosives and put a less valuable, minimally trained pilot in the cockpit, they'd have a better exchange rate for the losses. Even if the same number of planes got through in a run, ramming a ship with a plane full of explosives is both easier and more damaging than attempting a dive bombing. While still losing roughly the sname numbers, you don't need to waste your, by that point, EXTREMELY limited experienced pilots, either. Using older planes that weren't worth using normally meant more time and material put towards something they weren't going to just throw away to US AA guns. The brutal cost-efficiency calculations of it are spine-chilling, but there's evidence that the Japanese military was stating to consider ever more drastic measures by the end of the war. All a part of their plan to bloody and scare the US to the point of accepting their conditional surrender, instead of the total surrender and reshaping that the US was pushing for.

Thanks for recognizing what Yugoslavia had done to fight the Nazis and what they had lost. They suffered so much just to suffer for another 60 years

This Video always breaks me, might be cause im well in tune with the history or because im a bit too easy to move, yet either way I think there is hardly anything than this video to make me cry easily. As someone from Hamburg, Germany, ive had a thankfully extensive education on all this, along side the often forgotten horrors of the war, going beyond just even the camps, talking on the killing in the field and terror on civilians, matters rarely explored in America, or at least i have to assume so given the lack of understanding many seem to have from there. Jack, per usual, says all I could say, being well knowledged on all this, which leaves me little to add that other comments didnt already. Apart from one thing. On the small side comment of it being commendable that we memorise those who lost their lives not only in the camps but also in the fighting against the Regime, I wish to mention that, that is a wide spread thing. With the Allies, and a bit more teethclenchingly even a bit the soviets, being viewed as liberators, not invaders or occupiers. As you said, not everyone was a nazi, and interchanging that term with german is factionally false, and due to that the time is seen more like an occupation by said regime rather than an us vs the Allies, or at least that is the sentiment today. Hamburg, specifically pays tribute, even if just a little, to the 9th Durham Light Infantry, 5th Royal Tank Regiment and 1st Rifle Brigade for specifically our liberation from the Nazi‘s. Now correctly used as a term. The 7th Royal Armored lead by the 11th Hussars getting my special love these days with being the first forces to properly enter the by then liberated city. I got a Cromwell drawn on my wall for them. Least the deserve, thankfully not the only thing they get with monuments and statues around, even if they are hardly big enough to spot or give proper tribute in my eyes.

Leningrad Siege horror story: a family made major efforts to ensure their cat survives through the siege, as it became a benchmark of humanity to keep their pet alive as the opposite of just killing and eating it to improve their own chances. They took food from their own tiny rations and gave it to the cat. Cat survived, unlike some of the family members who starved to death. It may not be as dramatic, but one of the most heartbreaking for me.

They killed them both in one shot so they didn't use up too much ammo. 2. The mother or the child didn't have to see their parent/child be executed. And 3. They didn't have to hear them cry.

They would end up slaughtering an entire village , children, men, women, elderly. On a somewhat related note the concentration camps were built largely because of the extreme mental pressure and PTSD that executioners would get from what they do and because it was too expensive to just shoot people.

The Kwantung Army was the largest grouping of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. It was prestigious to serve in the Kwantung army, soldiers and officers were given the opportunity to quickly advance in the service and have a good salary. The Kwantung Army was assigned the role of the main enemy of the Red Army in the event of a war between Japan and the USSR. In addition, the Kwantung Army, along with the Korean Army, was an exception in the Imperial Army, since, among other things, it had a very large numerical composition relative to other formations. The Soviet Union began the war against Japan, fulfilling the Yalta agreements with the allies. The offensive as part of the Manchurian operation began on the morning of August 9, 1945. The day before in Moscow, the Japanese ambassador to the USSR was notified of the outbreak of war between the USSR and Japan. And although a Neutrality Pact was signed between the two states before the start of the Great Patriotic War for a period of 5 years, Japan, which was an ally of Hitler's Germany and fought with the allies of the USSR, inevitably became an enemy of the Soviet Union. And the Neutrality Pact was denounced by the USSR in advance. Thus, the Japanese side was warned. There are disputes regarding the date of August 19, 1945 and the surrender of the Kwantung Army. Their essence can be reduced to the fact that 64-year-old Japanese General Yamada Otodzo on that day actually signed the act of surrender of the Kwantung Army, obeying the decree of the Emperor of Japan on surrender of August 14, but to what extent the order took effect and whether by that time the main forces of the Kwantung army had been defeated by Soviet troops or only a smaller part of them is not a fully resolved question. In any case, the Japanese continued to offer some resistance to the Soviet troops in Manchuria, but mostly surrendered everywhere under the onslaught of the advancing Red Army troops, who had passed almost a five-year school of the fiercest war in the history of mankind. The defeat of the Kwantung army made further resistance to Japan pointless. Many historians, including Japanese, agree that even the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the American side did not have the same impact on the Japanese emperor's decision to surrender as the defeat inflicted on Japan by the Soviet Union in Manchuria.

the other issue with Japan and 卍 is that it's an actual Kanji in the Japanese language and so even if a young Japanese person understands that it was associated with Nazi Germany they'll still think of it first and foremost as a normal part of the language, it'd be like someone telling you that the letter D is a hateful symbol.

well there is a lot of things like that for us as well, like 14 hh 88 53 etc.

I don't have much knowledge on the subject and I have memory problems. But I do have an opinion. It seems to me that we (the Poles) never got up from our knees decently through World War II. It is said that it is long after the war and new generations are born. It is necessary to move on. The problem is that the damage done remains. Crimes on an unimaginable scale. Oh, you didn't want to learn about Polish WWII history while living in Poland. Can blame a lot on the education system - it is bad. But in terms of discussing what happened during the war we do great. Because we love to dissect bad things, we like to complain. I think the war changed us and it affects the next generations. We have become envious, mean, and we love black humor. That's what we say to strong jokes related to sensitive topics. Like the British - we are not afraid to joke about everything. This probably came from the fact that in order not to go crazy during the war, citizens invented all sorts of jokes and songs (forbidden songs) to somehow survive because any moment you could lose your life. ------------------------ The losses in people, cultural works, wealth, architecture were so great that it had a major impact on society. Many people became prejudiced against former allies. After the war, the government did not spoil us. Communism came when we thought we finally had peace and tranquility. There was a shortage of food that was sold when you had food ration cards so you stood in lines from 2-3 a.m., the value of money fell hard, the militia killed and punished all people harshly. And all this until the late 1980s. There are so many great inventors but the government oppressed and did not allow them to develop. So many squandered ideas. We will never get rich because our slave mentality is somewhere deep inside. Every now and then I hear that a young Polish man has created a remarkable invention that will change something. And we wonder when this young polak will sell it to the U.S. because every time something interesting is invented, the rights and patent for it are sold in developing countries. This is annoying. ---------------------------- The Germans are reluctant to give us back what they have taken and will never repay the debt in the form of money for the damage they caused. Russia is unlikely to ever give back because they have never stopped being enemies. And we still have to this day a government made up of emphatically damaged people who will never change the situation in this country for the better. The war has left much of a mark that one does not see at first glance. We need psychologists and psychiatrists to explain everything, not just historians. That's why a lot of people who have not been infected by this bad mentality are leaving this country to other countries like the Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavian countries and the more ambitious and resourceful ones to Switzerland or Luxembourg to get rich. And each country has its own problems arising from the war period and even pre-war. We have this horrible Catholicism or businessmen in black dresses that manipulate people who have forgotten how to think for themselves and take people's money by offering illusory promises and paradise and receive huge subsidies from the previous government. The richest "humble servant of God" in poland are a millionaires. Some are building villas for themselves. Some time ago, a few things went outside of poland and the Vatican became interested in "Why does a priest need 500,000 euros to build stairs to his house? This is becoming absurd. How can it be better if everyone only thinks about themselves and a handful of antipathetic bastards are elected every four years to make our lives more and more difficult. If I knew English, I'd better go somewhere else. -------------------------- Changing the subject, I wonder why so many US citizens still live there? I watched some videos about the state of this country and from my perspective it was surprising. How much are you willing to sacrifice just to live in your home country? They all know English well. They could find work in many European countries! They even have Canada next door. They have been manipulated into believing they live in the best country in the world. The resurrection of George Carlin. Apparently, several decades of his philosophical musings did not help. But a drop hollows out a stone, as they say here. Maybe one day his words will sink into people's minds. ---------------- 35:10 - Some time ago I watched a documentary about the effects of these nuclear bombs. It was valuable because it contained conversations of people who survived and found themselves in the center. These detailed descriptions and people's words were terrifying. Tears flowed from my eyes because what is an ordinary person guilty of? How much must a citizen pay for the actions of his government? Almost everyone mentioned that they felt no pain. Even when the skin burns. People drank from irradiated rivers. It was like post-apocalypse and that's not an exaggeration. ----------------- I always value the opinion of people smarter than me. I always learn more by watching your reactions and thoughts. I think what I like most is when you start watching videos from Internet Historian. Humor and knowledge. This is it. Thanks.

It is really sad to hear that the last time such a long Peace had lasted was during the Roman empire, almost 2000 years ago. The Peace we had was something really special.

I recently watch this for the first time 2 days ago, it seem like youtube recommending the same stuff. This video put things into perspective.

Even though it causes a big head ache, trying to comprehend all those casualties of war, and also to comprehend 1 death as to yourself and your family, it feels like this video is not enough. It needs to be even more uneasy and disturbing and hurtful to only comprehend an yotta more than the usual pop culture takes of WWII. thanks for the video.

My grandmother is 98, my grandfather fought and lived to be 97 died in 2016. These people were built different. If another World War breaks out it will be a disgrace

So 50% of the inhabitants of the soviet union died according to you?

My grandma lived in sieged Leiningrad more than a year before she got evacuated. She told me that durring that time she few times at winter saw on streets corpses with cutted-of flesh. And there was strict order from city administration keeps eye on kids because there was cases when mad of starving people stealing lonely kids for eat them ... But my grandma survied because she was young and because despite her age army guys involved her to special command who were at duty on roofs of houses and when on roofs fells firebombs with specail tongs they was should took it and throws to barrel with water or sand. And as person who was army service she was allowed to get army rations that saved her life.

3:47 in the east (especially in nations with Buddhism) it is the symbol of a place of worship, in the 1920's one Austrian with a bad mustache picked it as a symbol for his growing political party and claimed it looked strong and Aryan because it came from India, however they turned it askew calling it a hooked cross (Hakenkreuz) for whitch other Germans laughed at them for not knowing how a cross looks. Side note 1 the Fins first used the symbol from 1918 till 1945 as the official air force symbol, and in 2018 dropped it completely (some older stuff still had the symbol - some old planes) side note 2 - the Buddhist religion has somewhat taken note of what the Germans did with their symbol and over time has slowly tried moving away/changing it, however as it just means a Buddhist place of worship (a pagoda) a lot of Buddhist's push back against this, a common alteration to the symbol is adding 4 dots and never allowing the symbol to be turned (look up how the 2 symbols differ and it is easily noticeable. side note 3 most east asian buddists has added other values onto the symbol (the original one) benevolence and good fortune (what it's knwon as in Japan) the biggest issue is however east Asian never really teaches the European side of ww2, they had their own boogy man to deal with, so since they don't go over how to spot the difference, a quite large amount of students have taken the german modification to mean the same thing as the original, some have even gone the full distance and even wore ww2 german uniforms and did the salutes - and no the salutes aren't roman - we don't know any Roman salute - the only description of a roman raising their hand to show something we have is 2 romans raising their hand in front of their chest and pointing 2 fingers up to the heavens to identify themselves as Christians, kinda similar to the art depicting Jesus and other christan figures making the sign of the cross - Google it for an example. side note 3 The creators of this video had to apologise following outrage at them for calling the fallen german soldeirs the party's name, a lot of comments and historians pointed out that not all germans, nor all soldiers where apart of said political party.

That Finnish part is complete bs. In 2018 the swastika was completely dropped? No, in 2017 the Air Force Command emblem (which is only worn on uniforms) was changed from a swastika to an eagle and no there was no older planes with a swastika on them except for museum pieces. The swastika is still the official ''logo'' of the Finnish Air Force today as it can be found in all of the Air Force flags.

Since this video there's been at least 2 interstate wars, Armenia vs Azerbaijan and Ukraine vs Russia and arguably Israel vs Palestine though you could argue that is more so against the Hamas group and not so much all of Palestine, but I won't get into that. There have been civil wars started in Ethiopia, Myanmar, and Sudan and a few are still ongoing from even before the video like Yemen and obviously Syria.

Because Germans were convicted of it at the Nuremberg tribunals

I remember that when I first saw this video it touched me a lot. It was the only piece of media truly capable of making me understand just how devastating this war really was. I'll never forget seeing that soviet counter just keeeeep on going. I then showed it to my history class the next year in high school. I think the teacher still has it as part of her curriculum. Truly powerful stuff

They actually didn't practice kamikaze because of a lack of equipment, but a lack of well-trained pilots. It's a lot easier to teach someone to take off than it is to teach them to land, but ramming something is pretty easy.

This video the fallen of world war 2 was excellent and I've seen a few reactions from other people, the soldiers of WW1 and WW2 deserve to be remembered for what they done despite the side of the war.

The problemI have with this representation is that, a huge amount of the German Troops lost were not really "Nazi's" as many casualties hail from the Wehrmacht wich is simply the "Defense Force". The SS groups/Bataillons were the overwhelmingly convinced "Nazi" parts of the military. That of course, does not excuse the "Defense Force's" deeds, but they were still pulled under fanatic commanders, or People higher up the ranks, who would never defy Hitlers orders. I'd still prefer if this video were to summarize the Germans as "German Forces" not Nazis entirely. And for all who say "well if you didn't like it as a "Wehrmacht", why dindm't you rebell or deny service?!". That because of the amount of peer Oppression. The term of being a Deserter was taken to whole nother level, in many cases. "Well if you don't like it we shoot/hang you. And your disgraced family is next on the list." ... not really a fair bargain is it? That's what a fanatic dictatorship is all about. EDIT: Okay to make it more clear. You say no and you suffer for it, And in the aftermath your family suffers as well. Suffering includes: Horrible amounts of pain and death. The fear factor made it impossible (for most soldiers) to resist.

History about to be made

my great grandfather survived stalingrad and an PoW camp. He told me his stories when i were young, very young, sadly he passed away when i was around 12 yo. Also i have to thank you to make it clear that not every german was a follower of this weird cult. My family moved in a huge caravan from berlin to near bonn once the Soviets reached Polish territory or schlesisches territorium.

Hello good sir this is a small request from a viewer such as myself to watch other Neil halloran videos as I'd like to see your opinions and thoughts on it. Especially on the video on "Estimating deaths in a nuclear war" much love from the. Philippines :)

You are very educated. I salute you, sir!

I hope the long peace remains... though I now grow more fearful of that no longer being the case every day

Wish i could say that i hope the atrocities of ww2 will never be repeated. In reality it'll be outdone someday. As selfish as it sounds,i just hope im not alive to see it.

Come on Jack!!!! SO CLOSE TO 100K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's really nice that you mention that the majority of the German army were just soldiers who were on average young men between the ages of 16 and 25 and who simply fought for their country without carrying the Nazi ideology of their leaders in their hearts. And also to mention, that the first people who were taken to prisons and concentration camps were German citizens because they spoke out against the Nazi regime. And over 2 million died there too. And several 100 thousand more were executed or killed on the spot for saying a wrong word. And I think that the Germans also deserve to have the number of those who died mentioned in this video. But the enormous crime that the Nazi regime committed against its own people is never mentioned. But it should!

americans have hard time to understand that the western front only one or 2 elite division and mostly 2-rd grade division while the eastern front had all the elite and 2nd grade divisions there..and despite those weaker division on the west , they still moved at a slower pace than russians.

i remember me first watching this; i needet a few minutes to let it all sink in and collect myself

All Quiet on the Western Front was from the First World War. The politics were very much different during that time, as there was no real “good guys” vs. “bad guys.” Unlike the Second World War, which developed a moral foundation.

I've watched this video and reactions to it multiple times, and it's very interesting to see the difference in the reactions, based on age, history knowledge etc. A lot of the younger people, especially if they are not well versed in history, do not recognise the magnitude of the numbers whatsoever. And they are indeed so staggering, that it's unbelievable. Almost an entire generation died, especially within the Soviet Union. And for Leningrad also, if you divide 1,5 million dead in 2,5 years, you get roughly 1650 dead people each day, and obviously the numbers would have been almost zero in the beginning and many times that daily towards the end, when the supplies and humanity had run out. The horror of having people dying all around you, and even just the sheer labor involved in burying/burning 3000 corpses a day to avoid diseases, is something that cannot be grasped. Unfortunately with this woke and censorship movement we have also begun hiding this history, just because it indeed is so unbelievably cruel and understandably offends people still. But the moment we hide it and avoid thinking about what we actually did to each other, will be when history once again repeats itself, because humanity does not learn and the driving force for 95% of people is personal gain and greed.

It’s easy to forget the body count ww2 caused. Hell, it’s easy to forget how many people died across all of human history due to wars and civilian casualties. But it’s also comforting to know that, until recently, we seemed to have…learned, For lack of a better term. The long peace has its name for a reason.

Thats something really important you said towards end of the video (around 40-41min) - I live in central europe (Poland) and you can meet ppl who say that certain political parties are worse than communists/fascist etc, like how delusional you have to be to think about it like that? There wasnt anything even half as bad as USSR(by that i mean all the bad stuff they did to russian but also central europeans) since 1990 in Europe, not to mention WWII things

That "defector" Ukrainian force you speak of was literally an SS Division. Most Ukrainians fought in the Red Army, by a wide margin too.

13:50 that noise is haunting

I am a Serbian, and thank you for talking a bit about Yugoslavia. It is such forgotten part of ww2, but is such an important one... A fact i heard somewhere that i dont know if it is true or not, maybe you can clarify, is that the Nazis had more troops in Yugoslavia, fighting the resistance there, than in Italy, holding off the Allies. anyways, here. Some personal stories from my family. I know for 100% that at least one of my great grandfathers fought in WW2 for the Yugoslav Partisans. He joined when fighting in Srem (Syrmia) began, got typhus along the way, and rejoined his group somewhere in Slovenia after he recovered. I met him as a child, but he died before i was old enough to ask him about it. His daughter (my grandma on dad's side) told me about it. And this great grandfathers grandpa fought and died for the Serbian army in ww1, so i know i have at least to heroes in my family tree. Another story my great greandma (my mothers fathers mother) was around 6 or 7 in montenegro when the war began in Yugoslavia. She told me stories of how she hid with her brothers and sisters in some basement of some house in some village, and she was hiding from the Chetniks who were killing people for helping the Partisans earlier in the war. I dont know if her father fought or not, but i do know he lived through both balkan wars, ww1 and ww2, and died a few months before Yugoslavia imploded into civil war.

Something you should try reacting to are the videos from the Sabaton history channel, I particularly recommend the one about Hearts of Iron

first time I watched this video, at the end I felt good, felt hope. Now I have lost friends in Ukraine, seen the horrors of whats happening in the world and I honestly just feel sad.

Nice video if you are interested i could recommend to you the video "the loss of life in WW1 visualized" by Real Life Lore it is the same concept (and definitely inspired too) as this video but for WW1. Hope you would react !

trodde aldrig att jag skulle tycka om att titta på en dansk im from denmarks best nieghbouring country sweden

I like the closing thought of that video, but I have a different take on it. The longer the "Long peace" is getting - the more chances are for another great war in the next second. Think about it. The longer your streak tossing a coin and getting only tails, the more likely it is, that next throw will be heads up.

My grandparents live on the island of Korcula in Croatia. I visited them on the island once, and they told me a story about how the men of the island were forced by the Italians to fight the Russians. Afterwards the men returned home only to find the Russians waiting for them, who then forced them to fight against the Germans. Much of the population fled to South Africa and Australia to escape the Soviets, and didn't return until after the Cold War was over. I spoke to several people who spoke english with an Australian accent mixed with Slavic.

In vast parts of Germany the 30 years war cost the lives of 1/3 of the living population, overall. Proportional to the number of people that surely was worse to the World Wars for Germans. Also in terms of destruction it might have been similar. In absolute numbers and in the ideological outlook and industrial warfare of course the second world war hit differently, not to speak about the Holocaust.

Please react to Sabaton Wehrmacht

WWII is a good plot point because you have a clear evil vs the better guys

The Serbs even to this day are still quite angry about what was done to them...

Japan actually denies most of their atrocities still

True atrocities puts a lot of the past few years modern circumstances into context and the loss of gravitas and meaning behind words due to their constant re-contextualization also makes things harder to discern properly. All of this though is possible within this long peace that people are taking for granted. The best we can hope for is that nobody begins to repeat the mistakes of the past. As an example from recent circumstances. Hearing some entitled localizer/translator state that those who disagree with their liberal re-authorship that disregards the original work are all fascists, or hearing people say that the difference of opinions because of a desire to calmly assess the nuances of a situation is akin to supporting genocide is maddening in how it cheapens the terrible reality of what these words intend to mean. I truly fear what the rising tension from radicalization and aggressive partisan tribalism will cause to the world. The hardest reality that a lot of young people seem to have to contest with is that most people do not wish harm to others. But the media and the partisan talking points and the modern issue alarmists seems to be pushing the idea that the world is ending and genocide is right around the corner when in reality we are living in blessed civility here in North America.

I really hope they make one of ww1 as not many people know about it

Just the same as not all Germans were Nazis, not all of Hitler's family agreed with his actions. He has living descendants who legally changed their last names because of the stigma of it. The last living descendants have no children, and never will - not because of Adolph, but just... life. But even during WWII, Hitler's great nephew was allowed to serve in the US Army and fought (and likely died) fighting against his own family. He was also allowed to legally change his name before serving. When he asked to, he explained that he thought it would be best because his fellow soldiers would never trust him with the surname Hitler.

One thing the video doesn't mention is that while more Americans died fighting Germany, a soldier's chances of dying was much higher in the pacific.

Holy crap that's a voice of gold! lol

These reactions are not easy to watch, I don't feel it's Chill Zone at all I do think it's very comforting how many people didn't in in wars in recent times.

In the defense of the German Soldiers during WW2, a lot of them did not like taking orders from the SS, or even the majority of orders they got. The only reason they continued to follow orders was a mix of they'll be shot for insubordination... or their families would be killed right before they get shot themselves. I'm sure there were a few cases toward the end of the war of german soldiers capturing their SS officers (assuming they weren't smart enough to run) that were over them to hand over to the Allies, just so they no longer had to fight. I'd say only the youngest, most gullible soldiers were "with" the whole Nazi ideal, usually due to the fact they they probably went to the 'camps' that were setup in Germany before the war started.

Even in the old testament though, it's all about context slavery was already an established thing so at the time the rules given were radically progressive considering even in the Old Testament slaves had rights were to be treated well and even all be released once every 7? years I believe and completely forgiven any debt that might have made them sell themselves into slavery to begin with. All those kinds of things were generally unheard of in other cultures and countries, the very definition of a slave is someone without rights. Europe was actually pretty much the first place to completely abolish Slavery, until they saw profit when Africans tried to sell them slaves on the coast and thus they started concocting a way to "do it anyway" and just think of some excuse. So you'd have to really twist even just the old testament, to create something as bad and unethical as the slavery of that period was, you'd have to cut out a lot of parts that include rights for slaves and the consequences of treating slaves badly. Which is of course apparent already if you see how the Gospel ultimately spread among slaves. If you were sold into slavery, taken to a different country abused and plenty of your family killed along the way you wouldn't just start practicing their religion and heck understanding it better than they themselves did and having so much more faith. Like it or not the Gospel is most effective in the worst situations and places, among the poor, sick and also among the slaves. And that ultimately the full counter reaction to slavery came from the very same place that they had claimed "gave them right to do slavery" The very idea of combating physical violence with spiritual/soul force is very much at the center of the gospel. So the reality is even if a philosophy is pretty much as against violence as it gets, there will always be people who twist, manipulate and corrupt good words to fit to their will. Atheism is no different in that regard, it's really just Modern Polytheism, everybody worships something even if you don't call it a god, everybody still has their own "god" that which is most important to them. And although much like Polytheism you end up with a lot of separate groups within atheism. Those Separate groups themselves can do either great good or great evil because that which is most important to people can always be used both ways. People like to think their opinion are fully their own but all people are subject to "indoctrination" I mean that's called growing up and being raised. There's no way around that all you can do is be as open minded as possible and to not ridicule other people's truths or try to elevate your own beliefs (which includes broad mindedness) because it will only make you more blind to your own biases and blind spots. So when it comes to not being manipulated by your philosophy don't try to say stupid (narrow) broadminded stuff like "we all have our own truths which are equally valid and true for each of us" because you are elevating yourself and your own standpoint in saying that just as much as someone who says their truth is the one and only truth. Instead be open-minded and dare to question and challenge your own beliefs everyday which in turns strengthens them as long as you are willing to change them and not allow yourself to be manipulated and restricted by fallacious claims like "Objective Truth" or anything else which restricts your thinking.

@3:35 Not sure why you use the Japanese as those who do not know what the Swastika represents. In Japan the symbol is used in Buddhism and also to mark Temples on maps and other reference locations. I am not sure it is actually important for young Japanese to know how the Nazis took a historical religious symbol from their culture and perverted it for their own use. It would be interesting to know, however, how many in the West even know that the symbol did not originate in Nazi Germany and is still used throughout most of Asia to this day. Japan did not use the Swastika to represent anything during WWII, so the youth here do know what it actually represents.

Мужик. Я даже не знаю. Ты молодец, наука, фаткы, документы. Это удел сильных.

It should be noted in this video that Nazism was a political ideology; a lot of German army (Wehrmacht) were politically indifferent and were simply doing their job for whatever government told them what to do

The swastika means soemthing completely different in Asia. It has meaning that goes back thousands of years and is still used in religion in various Asian cultures. It was coopted and twisted by the Nazis. Second, most of the US casualties in the Pacific were from the island invasion campaigns and not from the kamikazes. (Iwo Jima, Saipan and Okinawa) As a Pole, I will never forgive Russia for their betrayal and attempts to dominate us. Victory for Ukraine!

Almost all reaction videos point out him saying Nazi but none seem to have seen the pinned comment he has where he Admits he shouldn't of used "Nazi Soldiers".

Protect the Long Peace. Stomp out the petty nonsense, it’s not worth falling back into true total war.

As for some criticism on your part and maybe i misunderstood you, but like you criticize them for not knowing what a swastika is, the criticism also goes towards people who think a swastika only means nazism, throughout asia that is a symbol of good forture and prosperity, something i think the older generation also thought what the swastika meant.

You are right. My statement was not to take away from the criticism that we have here in the west.

Well, Adolf-the-painter made sure people to not confuse HIS swastika with the old one, that's why he mirrored it to swirl at opposite direction and rotated by 45 degrees. If you see that kind of swastika on someone, it's non-debatable 3rd Reich simp.
