Very interesting and the music was so appropriate. Most grateful. So fortunate to have this material available in perpuity via the internet, Regards from an 87 year old Englishman who served 2 years in the Royal Air Force as a National Servicemen, may 1954, to may 1956. And I can still remember my service number! England, February, 2024.

I tried watching the very same footage on another YT channel, but without sound it was mind numbing, but with narration and appropriate music, it adds a whole new concept and makes for great viewing, well done.

My grandpa was a Panzer3 Driver with Guderians 4th. He often told me of Stalingrad and Moscow. The most time he told me he and Guderian played card. That was a game they often played

This historic archive footage is a stern remainder of the horrors of wars. Well done

A fine piece of historical footage.

Historical master piece of filming in color, music is masterfully created. War is a reminder of sadness and the suffering of the innocent people. 😢.

… a time that’s long gone but should not be forgotten …….This time is present in every GERMAN FAMILY, man.

thank you for not jamming watermarks all over footage

Very tragic to watch and realize very few of those young men ever went home,and just the horrific loss of life throughout the war! 😢

The German Soviet war of 1941-45 was a brutal conflict, fought on both sides with unrelenting harshness, and without pity or regard to the normal rules of war. Hitler instructed his Generals not to give the Soviets ANY quarter. Some of these men no doubt handed out the kind of savagery that they were subjected to in return. It is an old saying 'live by the Sword, die by it'.

Yes....and the 27 million Russian citizens they slew also, most of them in cold blood. How terrible!

What is the soundtrack? It’s very haunting. I love it

This is excellent footage of things we could only imagine before.

I just watched another one of these on this channel... how have I jever seen this footage before? Amazing!

Is this narration written by Chat GBT / AI? Seems to be repeating the same things over and over again but just rewording it each time lol. Cool footage though

Heart wrenching to watch just wondering how many of those smiling faces from both civilians and soldiers would have their lives extinguished from their bodies. On their way to hell on earth. It's just impossible to grasp what I believe is to have been the real dark age of humanity. Millions dying by the day. To contrast the beauty of the countryside with the imminent death of those passing by is almost cruel. Life has no feelings. Fates sealed on both the people that perished and the "lucky" ones to have survived to never be the same. I'm sure those that made it back home never actually went back home baring the physical and mental scars and wounds until the day death relieved them from their unfortunate lives and harrowing memories.

Fascinating footage and music incredible…😮

Barbarossa was total madness because: 1. Huge distances ate away the moral. 2. Germans simply had not enough soldiers (approx. 1:4) 3. German army totally not equipped for extreme colds. 4. German army fought on two fronts 5. Supply lines so long were undefendable and so on ..........

mainly due to the failure of achieving any real objectives in the campaign Foreign units where a problem since they were commanded by German officers. Hitler planned to encircle russia and prevent stalin from his resources.it was his generals who wanted a full frontal war which failed miserably. Should have not fortified Stalingrad and simply encircle Moscow,war would’ve ended by mid 1943

No credit for the music source?

A sobering video, thank you for posting, shows how one man can destroy countless lives.

This reminds me of an old saying when you fight on the streets only the street wins😢

wow I had no idea

Certainly fascinating but the Narrator is inferring more in the commentary than the footage actually presents. Sounds more like someone writing for a high school assignment

Music ?

Hard to imagine that was once the present.

It looks like the narration is not related with the images on screen. He is talking about German military and showing poor Russian people selling and buying some stuff.

My grandfather Herman Schmidt Sr was a infantryman in the wermatch during ww2 I have one of his helmet s wonder if they got only one issued to them

Is the narrator on LSD or is he just high? He’s repeating the same thing over and over again and it’s not matching what he is describing in the video.

It was National Socialist Germany but not Nazi Germany. About 120, 000 Jews served for German Army and Navy during WW2.

Imagine how many of these people were killed. The prisoners? The soldiers? the civilians? so many killed. I have never seen this footage before. It is incredible. but sobering.

If you’re a German watching this and seeing my comment, please please rekindle that love for your country that once burned so bright! Since this war nationalism just as they intended has been tarred and feathered! Never to be seen since European nationalism is basically banned or frowned upon Please don’t just read what was set out by the winners for you to eat up and follow without asking questions, look at what happened to your people look at what the bolsheviks did to your women and your people even the British and Americans look at what we did to Dresden go see the pictures and hear the stories of the people, don’t turn away from the roots of what that party intended because it was great and it was beautiful and it should still exist today Your grandparents where lied to we all where lies to about that war and we have been told to believe it and nothing else, when you look at things from a wider lense hear who AH was actually earning Europe about and look who was behind things and even still after the war or even today the same people and now others Read into how Germany was blamed for so so much they didn’t do and still today are paying money out to people who where never effected by anything, the war was made about them victimising them and feeling sorry for them When so many Germans died and where told as a nation they should suffer forever Please rekindle that national pride! You have so much history and a man just wanted that to burn bright and burn together in each of your hearts, we are all different people and we work better together with them and that’s being taken away from us now.

It is an amazing look at history. So many of the soldiers and civilians in these movies were probably killed over the next year or two. It reminds us all of the sad history of the Ukraine. One must not forget the German army's goal was the elimination of all Ukrainians including Jews and Slavs.
