- Welcome to JustTenMoreMinutes aka JTMM aka The Freakin 10! Like most of the Sabaton History videos, it is teaching me more about or maybe I just don't remember being taught some of these aspects of the wars. The surrender and final days of the war were never really touched upon in school and so videos like these now that I am much older I appreciate that much more. Brilliant!

I think some of the big reasons why the end of the war in Europe is not more commonly known are 1) USA was still fighting Japan in the Pacific so it wasn't really over yet for them.
2) Chaos, the official record of what happened is often either incomplete or classified
3) It wasn't pretty. The allies, and soviets especially, did some very morally questionable things to the germans in the name of revenge, especially once they got to Germany / found the camps (all over the "Reich"). Lot of the death in the last weeks was "unnecessary", on all sides. Not to mention the ones after VE Day (victory in europe, may 8 1945).
Ugh I hate war and yet those in charge to this day don't get it or learn from mistakes. Great points as always my friend!
There are some actual video recounts of American units across the river watching the German Artillery blazing away at the Soviets and the Americans just watched and did nothing. They knew all the way back in '45 that they would have to eventually deal with the Soviets.
Ugh, I mean I know we weren't there and can't say we would of done this or that but ya know it sucks..
Patton wanted to continue east till he got back to USA.
1 million men or ten million men to a soldier in the position they are in doesn't matter too much. Cannot hope to win, or even to survive, but can take down as many of the enemy with you as possible. Slow the advance and hope your sacrifice allows people in the city to live.
Sabaton history really is good complement to the songs, makes them even better for me. I understand what you mean about the song in the background.
100% agree, it is nice to hear the history that ties into the song. I have mentioned in other posts when someone first mentioned the history I was worried about reacting to such long videos but instead it has turned into some of my favorite videos to do with the comment sections after and the discussions being had.
Yeah I m glad that ppl who see this song can see that most Germans wasn't evil in ww2
Definitely. It is the sad thing about generalizations in this day and age. I rarely talk politics but the simple fact is that no matter party affiliation most people just want to wake up to a better tomorrow yet all sides are slandered with hatred and generalizations because of a few that get the news coverage. That applies to anything, race, religion, gender, orientation, etc. Always remember to the media controversy = clicks and views. *end rant* lol FYI Germany is a fave place of mine to travel. I have been there for work and fell in love with it. Went to France, Switzerland, and Austria, during that trip and just so beautiful. Germany will always be special to me with that trip. One of the last ones with a co-worker who passed suddenly a few month after.
They have other song about battle for Berlin too, and they have history video for it too - it's called Attero Dominatus.
Yes I have it added!!!
26:30 Regarding the age of the soldiers part Germany was mostly out of manpower at this point in the war. Most of the military aged men had died and the smaller amount of manpower it got the more extreme it made the requirements to be eligible to join the army which is logical but also not logical. I mean Germany didn’t start the war having kids fighting but after 1943 the amount of manpower Germany had was starting to be depleted and that results in more extreme measures.
Ok that makes sense. I was thinking to myself that I would of thought teachers would of mentioned that but again not all teachers can teach us like Sabaton can lol. FYI my wife is a teacher so I can crack jokes like that lol
The part that Indy said "No deserters, no prisioners, no missing" tell how they still fighting for his country and ppl there.
In the movie "Der Untergang" you can see hitler mad with Wenck because he desobey the orders to go to help him.
Wenck died in a car crash in 1982 i think, he pass the Nurenberg trials without problems, because he help a lot of ppl, a marvelous history have. And the soldiers under his command are heros too. And the 9nd army ppl who avoid the soviets is insane to hear....
In regard to German intelligence about enemy troop strength. For all that is said about how good the Germans were on the field of battle in the realm of intelligence it could not be more different. Some of the best examples are the Soviet counteroffensives during the Battle of Moscow, Battle of Stalingrad, and the Battle of Kursk. In all three of those battle after the Germans had spent themselves attacking their intelligence said that the Soviets were just as exhausted and there was no way there was going to be a counterattack. Time and time again even before the invasion of the Soviet Union, German intelligence didn't just miss a few Soviet divisions they missed entire army formations.
WOW
@@JTMMTV That basically pretty much all german spys in the other high-commands where basically identified and stuffed with false informations, if still capable to send something, didn't help either.
28:16 About if the word had got back to Hit##r: He wouldn’t be able to do anything about it most likely. The war was lost and the German army was in a state of every unit for itself screw high command (mostly except for the units encircled fighting to protect Berlin which was not Wenck’s situation). He could say he wanted Wenck dead all he wished but there was no logical way he could have reached Wenck and have him executed by that point.
Imagine it like this any semblance of frontline was broken for Germany and it was pure chaos by that point.
Yeah I was thinking about this after I recorded it because it was just there fresh in my mind and came to that conclusion that by the time he could make it back it would of already been over. Like I think I said in the video it is seeing stories like this that even in the darkest groups there is one that is waiting to shine "not exact words" but concept wise. Made the right call
Poeple chose suicide over captivity in horrible conditions einther in Sibiria or in something like horrorcamps.
Yeah just shocks me as to why they would be turned over but as people pointed out, there was shady stuff going on which is sad
@@JTMMTV in this time the most possible reason was that they gambled for land and People, also Prisoners.
@@JTMMTV Yeah, the general opinion about PoW things where that the west Allies where much more human about it than the Soviets, the eastern front was much more feared as meat grinder. It was even in german pop culture referenced as the much scarier front. The most used phrase in "Hogan's Heros" for example was "Much better than sent to the east" (or similar)
4:38 1 Million men advancing on Berlin but 7 million on the entire front fighting Germany. It’s not that shocking of a number but I myself study military history so I’m not really surprised by it. lol
Btw Indy Neidell the guy talking is very trustworthy at least majority of the time since he’s studied history and has enough years at least to become a teacher. But it’s also his main hobby to study free time. He has a Ww2 channel where he’s making a vid on each week in ww2 and he’s done the same for ww1 a few years ago.
Germany had maybe less than a million men at this point in the war but earlier in 1941 Germany also had around 5-7 million men. They however had them all spread out. 3 million invaded the USSR while over 1 million guarded the Atlantic wall etc.
In ww2 around 70-90 million people died depending on what you count. That should say enough.
I guess I never really thought about the numbers like that. I trust Indy but sometimes he gives a sarcastic look and so I was like wait what.... Once you think about the larger scale yeah it makes sense but again I never really studied it past school and our school system isnt the best.
@@JTMMTV Well I’m happy to add info if you are unsure on something. Think of it also like if Indy says something wrong then we’ll tell you but if he doesn’t we won’t say anything only add additional information.
Also the USSR might have had 6 million at this point. I know they were close to 7 million at one point but I can’t remember if they reached it.
@@melkor3496 If you take in the entire red army it numbered over 11 million by wars end.
@@JTMMTV idk if anyone else mentioned it but the United States mobilized just over 16million for the war in total. Idk the total numbers for the Russians but they had almost as many killed and wounded as we had total troops to serve and still had a military about as big as ours.
Germans have around 800 thousands men on front with Soviets around Berlin but Berlin defense itself have only around 85 thousands men both Wehrmacht and Volksturm.
Soviets have 2,5 milion on front near Berlin but 1,5 milion make push to Berlin.
Very interesting.
This one was probably one of the most interesting ones for me so far in this early journey
Now a days 1 million may seem like a lot, especially compared to almost all modern conflictsbut given the sheer scale of WW2, it's perfectly reasonable. The UK and US had roughly 500,000 casualties for the whole war each. Germany, let alone the soviets, lost much, much more.
A good video to put into perspective the sheer number of people involved would be the "fallen of world War 2" video here on youtube
Yeah just didn't register immediately about the size.
Fallen of ww2 Is a great video to react to I hope he can put it in the list on videos to react to.
Only bad thing about it is he calls every German soldier nazi which he regrets having done in the comments. But that video overall is a great video to understand the scale of it all.
Added and noted and will mention during as well!
25:41 Oh yes literally everyone knew it was over for Germany at that point.
Yeah I am sitting here watching this thinking to myself, if you knew how many were approaching, call me a coward, but I follow Kenny Rogers advice. Know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to run......
@@JTMMTV The Germans had a deep seated fear of what the Russians would do to them if they surrendered. This and their continued fanaticism for hitler kept them going till the bitter end.
We dont know what happened but russia took 3.6 Million german prisoners - 1.3 million germans died in russian captivity (official)
The USSR lost 26 million people in WW2 (civilian and military).
Geez.....
Hey I’d just like to ask if you can wait with reacting to the song stormtroopers, hellfighters, lady of the dark and The Valley of death. These are all Sabaton songs from the new album but they don’t have a history video made for them YET. I’d just like to ask if you can write these down and hold of on reacting to them and just go through everything else in the meantime? Unless I come up with another one that they haven’t done yet as well but this should be all. So if you can just put these songs last and hold off on reacting to them that would be nice. Sry lol
Stormtroopers I did I think as my second or third reaction being brand new to them. The rest ,however, I do not have on my list *someone may hurt me for not capturing it* lol. They are on my list now with a note for history!
@@JTMMTV Oh well then you won’t mind if I ask you to react to the stormtrooper history video as soon as it comes out if you don’t mind? Like once it is finished and released would you mind if I ask you to react to it?
@@JTMMTV Yeah the others I mentioned I mean just wait with reacting to those songs until a history video comes out for each one there are many other songs that can keep you busy in the meantime I assure you.
oh I have plenty on my list lol
If you react to the unkillable soldier, Indy have a special about him here: ua-cam.com/video/wfWf3FPSCcs/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WorldWarTwo
No sabaton history about this song yet.
I had it on my list next, I grabbed your link
There is a Sabaton History for The Unkillable Soldier. There are Sabaton History episodes for every Sabaton song bar a handful off the newest album.
@@JTMMTV Please don’t listen to him there is a sabaton history video for unkillable soldier I’ll link it so you actually react to it and the song and not whatever the first comment linked.
@@JTMMTV Unkillable soldier sabaton history vid: ua-cam.com/video/NpR1pgjDA74/v-deo.html
React to it after you have reacted to the song.
@@rosswhite5975 You are right, my mistake 😃. So many histories i dont have that in mind. My apologies.
