8:24.....can you imagine...these women saw what was going on, the killing of men, women, children, babies......and next was going to happen to them...and could do absolutely nothing. The horror of waiting your turn to line up at the trench. And as you are lined up...looking down into the trench with so many mangled dead bloody bodies....knowing you will be joining them at any minute. Myself ? I cannot begin to imagine the emotions of horror and the fear
Many of them were probably still alive when they were buried because especially towards the end of the war the Germans were trying to conserve resources.
It is hard to comprehend, the German generation back then was filled with psychopaths it seems. How can you shoot kids, I mean some will even look like a kid from Germany. And many of these smucks had kids themselves as Germany was very much pushing for everybody to have as much kids as they can.
My two uncles was over there when Patton was. No they never met him face to face, but got within a stone's throw of him. These two uncles were two of those that their job was to check the ovens (if just maybe someone was hiding in them) when the camps were liberated. They would never talk about it...but my aunts told how they would wake up screaming at night at things they saw in a cold sweat. One uncle would sometimes talk in his sleep and was said to have said Unmerciful bastards many times.
It was easy in these day and this is easy nowaday to bring people hate each other. The last 2 year show clearly the fact humans are easy to control and the are unable to learn and evolve after these atrocities :( lg
Many of the liberating forces suffered what is now known as PTSD after witnessing the horrors of the extermination camps. We should never forget those atrocities to ensure it never happens again.
Words can’t really do justice to both my desire to thank you and describe how I feel about this. Two of my direct paternal relatives ( mother and toddler boy ) were done to death on this beach. The father was despatched to a ‘ labour ‘ camp. Wider members of the family ( amongst others ) have made many memorial pilgrimages to this place ever since. I cannot thank you enough for paying tribute to the wholly innocent victims, as well as solidly condemning the perpetrators.

Stories on the einsatzgruppen are highly exaggerated. We are talking of a few thousand men who were tasked with restoring order behind the front they could not have possibly carried out all that is attributed to them.
Latvia had been independent before 1940, when the Soviets took it over. In 1941 the Germans took over. "Communistst" there often had blood on their hands too.
Its funny how some are so ready to talk about evil nazis while not admitting or maybe not realizing that communism has been the cause of more death. I often see people try saying that life in communist lithuania was way better than after the fall
@@eriktruchinskas3747 Any one of several Communist rulers has The WWII era German rulers beat in death. Germany is part of the educated "Civilized" West, and that they went for a bunch barbarian/pagan revivalists and followed them to such destruction is remarkable.
The Communists killed my great-great grandfather and sent my great-great grandmother to Siberia. My great-grandparents on my grandfather’s side were killed by the Nazis. The Balts had it pretty bad.
I can't imagine Skede Beach being used as anything but a memorial . . . Although life is for the living. . . .I'll have to ponder a bit more on it. Certainly there must be a memorial. I didn't find anything, on a quick Google search.
I was there a few years ago, there is a modern memorial next to an older soviet one. But also understand there are many such sites in this area, every forest, every prison, Skede is unusual in that photographs of the shootings were made
A lot of the Germans and their enthusiastic collaborators in these countries that massacred men women and children got away with it and lived long happy lives. I’ve been to Minsk and saw a few of the mass graves there,one had five thousand men women and children and the other 10 thousand victims. Most of them were Austrian and German Jewish men women and children.My grandmother a seamstress from Vienna and many of her family were massacred in one of these pits in Minsk.When I visited Minsk in 2010 I kept thinking if I was at the massacre site which had my grandmother and other family members. Eastern Europe is covered with thousands of these pits,many of them unmarked in woods.
I understand your analogy and agree with you. Too many people are unaware/apathetic i'm afraid and are sleep walking towards tyranny. This story is horrendous and very brutal, of course the perpetrators were 'only following orders'.

@@a1c3c3u As long as Palestinians saw themselves as part of Syria, they were not aware of their Palestinian identity. Adnan Abu Odeh, a senior Jordanian statesman of Palestinian extraction, wrote about Palestinian-Jordanian relations and made a distinction between the two peoples. In his view, the difference between Jordanians and Palestinians does not necessarily lie in how they define their identity but in how others define them.12 This distinction emerged, he maintains, when the British established the Emirate of Transjordan, which defined the Jordanians, and designated Palestine as the Jewish national home, thereby defining the Arabs who lived in the territory allocated to the Jews as Palestinians.
Believe me my friend, those that survive punishment here on earth, all turned into God with the hope to be saved from the lake of fire. I don't care if they tell you that God does not exist. Every day they pray just like Lucifer, who is in a constant argument, not even praying anymore, trying to save his ass. I know for sure that Lucifer will never be forgiven, does not matter how much IT tries, begs, and pray, it's in the Bible. I think the same will happens to those that inflicted genocide... on innocent lives or kill anyone to rob them or just because of hate.
The devil sure was hard at work during WWII so much evil. Thank you for not letting the victims stories die with them we can't ever forget what happens when ideology is pushed on people.
✨The cowardly filth that came to see and kill are equally guilty. The numbers were higher than can be calculated. Everyone there was equally guilty, to kill just one single innocent person was horrifically vile. Those who curse Israel will be cursed. Those who BLESS Israel, shall be BLESSED.✨
I saw a documentary on the Einstangruppen death squad and it described multiple incidents of atrosities that were even more horrific than what's detailed in this video...Much worse.
I am half German but I've grown up hating those Nazi Bastages. My German Dad was from Loyola S.D. He was full-blood German and when I told Him I was being teased in school in the 1950s, He told Me to tell those schoolmates that "Not all Germans were Nazis and not all Nazis were German". (Hitler Himself was Austrian. Yup! G-G
The narrator is incorrect, the beach is quiet and isolated, that's why it was chosen..the photos are of Russian Empire WW1 defences and not the same location although nearby
For the perpetrators and willing participants of these events, there can only be one outcome for the end of their own lives and that is a very fast track to the deepest parts of hell.
They were imprisoned and shot or starved when the Soviets invaded pushing the Nazis out.. 3 occupations within 5 years, who knows who did what and where they are
The people lined up at the beginning of the video, have all been identified A mother, her daughter and son, in the white trousers, and another lady Who was her neighbour, with her daughter. There are a series of stills, which give clues to the method. Along the top of the dune is a post with flag, that marked the end of the dead in the trench, and was where Those to be killed were told to line up. The boy in the white trousers is crying with fear, he has just witnessed people, undressed, and shot, he knows it is his turn next. One little girl hides her head in her mothers arm, not wishing to see. The other side of the dune is the open baltic sea, this was in winter And would have been freezing cold.
My father served in the 6th USID in the Philippines. His regiment captured a Japanese field hospital on Luzon. They tommy-gunned all the wounded and then killed the doctors and nurses.
The crimes of the Godless Socialist and Communists must be remembered and taught to warn the world. I started reading of the German genocide atrocities in 1975 and have continued to sound the warnings . In all my years of reading this dark history I never discovered these heinous acts of evil. You do a service to the world .
Uuuuuuh. The Nazis were fascists. The OPPOSITE of communism/socialism. Did you not hear that the Nazis were also killing communists??? Right wing governments collaborated with the Nazis. Stop with your bullshit propaganda. It is true that millions died at hands of communist regimes, but just as many died at the hands of rightwing regimes.
One wonders what atrocities would have been carried out on the beaches of places like Bournemouth and Weymouth had the Germans succeeded in their invasion of England. We can only thank those brave men and women who gave their lives in wars to prevent similar happenings here. Bravery that seems to be forgotten by our leaders and sympathizers of increasingly authoritarian regimes, who stand idly by today while those freedoms are bit by bit whittled away by the current leaders in western countries that are actively encouraging invasion by those who wish us harm.
Very good. Perhaps look at the murder of 25 to 30,000 Jews in Odessa between 22 and 24 October 1941. Romanian troops played a major role in this massacre along with the SS and Ethnic Germans.
If you are referring to the SC decision, yes, it was a horrible decision. But don’t downplay the massacre of thousands of people in this city just because they were Jews. Your statement makes you appear like a Republican.
@@seattlewa8500 I certainly didn't mean to imply that. Yes of course I was referring to that, but also the dozens of gun crimes, hates crimes and racist acts of violence we've endured in the last years. I meant more that history is easier to watch than current events, because I'm not there, I'm here.
This goes to show us what a gruesome and vicious race of creatures we are , given certain circumstances. We must teach our children well as the song goes,,
Such depravity! They were hunted and killed as if they were animals, the only animals were the Nazis, What evil humans to other humans would make even the devil himself pale and palsy, precious and pure Angels were these victims, we must never forget any of them! They were here, they were loved and their hearts were made of precious gold!
Be proud of your past barbaric human relatives, who have given your country and your historical forebearers the disgusting and most sadistic history of inhumanity that ever prevailed.
I am very confused about who to be upset with. Based on what I have read, when the USSR occupied Latvia in 1939 and according to Wiki "The Soviets dealt harshly with their opponents - prior to Operation Barbarossa, in less than a year, at least 34,250 Latvians were deported or killed.[63] Most were deported to Siberia where deaths were estimated at 40 percent.[57]: 48 " Then, in 1941 the Einsatzgruppen came in and killed another 30,000+. I have studied the Einsatzgruppen, and understand what their orders were and why they killed the way they did. My question is, was the USSR just as bad? Very confused.
I don't even see how this evil can b called an execution when it's just plain murder.When I was involved with the Air Cadets,they used to watch Blackadder every yr.The one where the forces go 'over the top'.After the fun stops & the vid slows down showing the troops leaving the trenches,there was always a deep silence.Nobody moved or spoke for some time.It really seemed to affect them all.With luck,they will appreciate the horror & futility of war & hoomans will actually come of age.But with brutes like Putrid & others on the planet,I don't hold my breath.
Wow, that was so fucking crude and bad what they did to those poor, innocent people. I truly feel bad for them. And that something like this could happen 😢😢😢😮😮😮😮. Truly!. Truly!. Truly!. Look, why did Germany and Hitler even allow "The Shoah massacres of Jews in 1941 and early 1942 in the Soviet Union" even fucking happen. I mean. Three (3) million innocent people were fucking treated like garbage and shot/gassed to death in those massacres (shootings and gassings.). Those 1941/1942 Shoah massacres of the Soviet Union, are unfortunately play a big role in the Holocaust. Presumably, if it was not for those massacres, there would be more descendants and more Jews alive today, than the 1 or 2 million we have right now in 2024. Well, at least they rest in peace now and today and we have to respect that.
It terrifies me that so many humans would carry out these horrific acts. They could kill infants and children with no second thought. So many monsters. It scares me that so much that humans , many many did this and went home to their children. They did not have any thought or shame. How could they live with themselves. God made a mistake when he made man.
Thank you. My father's side of the family, well that's me too, we lost many many many relatives in Germany in WWII, mostly Jewish. We were so scared we kept our Identity secret even in the North American Midwest. With good reason, as I have learned there is actual KKK presence as recently as the 1950s where I live now. Also Nazi party or descendants of Nazis living, working, at leisure among us. Even, I have experienced men trying to detect of I am Jewish. I play it off, as there is not much Jewish presence, & I feel threatened at times. One old neighbour harassed me for almost six years. She died of Covid & cancer. Another neighbour falsely accused me of theft, harassing her 13 year old boy, & even insinuated to others that I raped her. All false. The last seven years coinciding with the rise of Trump and the MAGA movement, have actually been a nightmare here in the Chicago suburbs. I am documenting diligently. I am the grandson of Simon Weinburg, I affirm that the Shoah / Holocaust is indeed actual history, true and supported by much evidence & testimony. At this time I advise I can forgive, but don't ever expect us to forget. Never forget.
muting the narrative and watching the footage is most informative. The channel's credibility would have been enhanced with footage of actual relevance to the narrative.
This happend in latvia ? And anyone wondering why ? An guy from latvia ( around 35-40 years old ) tell me 5 years ago that the SS from Latvia was the best SS cause they did things that the wehrmacht and "normal SS" dont wanna do by choice. Most actions they like to do vs russians cause the want to payback some things which happend in history. And he tell me latvia has no diplomatic relation with Israel.

The more we dive in there the harder it will be not to believe in what Jesus said and did. So that's enough proof for me God exists.
God allows us to do wrong. So we can slaughter eachother like the germans did in WW 2. We also have the choice to be changed by Jesus into new creatures that live together in peace. That sounds good to me. With God's help I can live. How's your life ? OK ? Blessings to you !
Stories on the einsatzgruppen are highly exaggerated. We are talking of a few thousand men who were tasked with restoring order behind the front they could not have possibly carried out all that is attributed to them.
The atrocities humans are capable of is seriously appalling. 😥
True
Latvia had been independent before 1940, when the Soviets took it over. In 1941 the Germans took over. "Communistst" there often had blood on their hands too.
Its funny how some are so ready to talk about evil nazis while not admitting or maybe not realizing that communism has been the cause of more death. I often see people try saying that life in communist lithuania was way better than after the fall
@@eriktruchinskas3747 Any one of several Communist rulers has The WWII era German rulers beat in death. Germany is part of the educated "Civilized" West, and that they went for a bunch barbarian/pagan revivalists and followed them to such destruction is remarkable.
there is always a nazi apologist around with what about this and that with the commies. go watch something else.
And Latvians shot their Jewish neighbours......
The Communists killed my great-great grandfather and sent my great-great grandmother to Siberia. My great-grandparents on my grandfather’s side were killed by the Nazis. The Balts had it pretty bad.
I can't imagine Skede Beach being used as anything but a memorial . . .
Although life is for the living. . . .I'll have to ponder a bit more on it.
Certainly there must be a memorial. I didn't find anything, on a quick Google search.
There is a large memorial there.
I was there a few years ago, there is a modern memorial next to an older soviet one. But also understand there are many such sites in this area, every forest, every prison, Skede is unusual in that photographs of the shootings were made
A lot of the Germans and their enthusiastic collaborators in these countries that massacred men women and children got away with it and lived long happy lives. I’ve been to Minsk and saw a few of the mass graves there,one had five thousand men women and children and the other 10 thousand victims. Most of them were Austrian and German Jewish men women and children.My grandmother a seamstress from Vienna and many of her family were massacred in one of these pits in Minsk.When I visited Minsk in 2010 I kept thinking if I was at the massacre site which had my grandmother and other family members. Eastern Europe is covered with thousands of these pits,many of them unmarked in woods.

@@semsemeini7905 Sad and very true
Denial prevented them from fighting back. They outnumbered their captors but chose to go quietly.
Nothing has changed.
I understand your analogy and agree with you. Too many people are unaware/apathetic i'm afraid and are sleep walking towards tyranny. This story is horrendous and very brutal, of course the perpetrators were 'only following orders'.
Americans fear being labeled and the left feeds on that.
" And the Lord said. What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground. Genesis 4:10

@@a1c3c3u As long as Palestinians saw themselves as part of Syria, they were not aware of their Palestinian identity. Adnan Abu Odeh, a senior Jordanian statesman of Palestinian extraction, wrote about Palestinian-Jordanian relations and made a distinction between the two peoples. In his view, the difference between Jordanians and Palestinians does not necessarily lie in how they define their identity but in how others define them.12 This distinction emerged, he maintains, when the British established the Emirate of Transjordan, which defined the Jordanians, and designated Palestine as the Jewish national home, thereby defining the Arabs who lived in the territory allocated to the Jews as Palestinians.
So shocking,rest in peace to the victims.Rot in hell the evil scum that took part in this
they are God doesnt forget
Every injustice is written upon the tablets of eternity & there is a day of reckoning.
I still can't understand how the murderers can live with this as they age day by day.
Believe me my friend, those that survive punishment here on earth, all turned into God with the hope to be saved from the lake of fire. I don't care if they tell you that God does not exist. Every day they pray just like Lucifer, who is in a constant argument, not even praying anymore, trying to save his ass. I know for sure that Lucifer will never be forgiven, does not matter how much IT tries, begs, and pray, it's in the Bible. I think the same will happens to those that inflicted genocide... on innocent lives or kill anyone to rob them or just because of hate.
Lmfao, they're all dead from old age
Thanks for sharing patriot
The German soldiers that participated in those executions were pure evil. Hopefully Karma returned to them!
God Almighty has taken his vengeance on these evil people!
What about the Latvians that took part?
Thank you for this.
skede beach bodies exhumation never took place... any idea why?
The devil sure was hard at work during WWII so much evil. Thank you for not letting the victims stories die with them we can't ever forget what happens when ideology is pushed on people.
Since 2014 in Ukraine???
He is working overtime in America.
Unfortunately these evil tendencies are in us all
✨The cowardly filth that came to see and kill are equally guilty. The numbers were higher than can be calculated. Everyone there was equally guilty, to kill just one single innocent person was horrifically vile. Those who curse Israel will be cursed. Those who BLESS Israel, shall be BLESSED.✨
Amen 🙏 and Amen 🙏
Please make one on Einsatzgruppens Dr Dr Otto Rasch. 🙏
We Must Never Forget.🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
I saw a documentary on the Einstangruppen death squad and it described multiple incidents of atrosities that were even more horrific than what's detailed in this video...Much worse.
A lot of European Jews were killed at Rumbula Forest the same winter.
To add to the horror of being executed the poor souls were humiliated by being stripped naked.
MONSTERS!!
I am half German but I've grown up hating those Nazi Bastages. My German Dad was from Loyola S.D. He was full-blood German and when I told Him I was being teased in school in the 1950s, He told Me to tell those schoolmates that "Not all Germans were Nazis and not all Nazis were German". (Hitler Himself was Austrian. Yup! G-G
How could anyone go on that beach today - and enjoy themselves?
Exactly my thoughts!
The narrator is incorrect, the beach is quiet and isolated, that's why it was chosen..the photos are of Russian Empire WW1 defences and not the same location although nearby
I’m glad that Yelena Ostapenko’s family survived. (Latvia tennis player)
Not Latvian.
To think that the bastards who committed those crimes largely got away is beyond disturbing. None of them should have survived.
Please keep reporting on the most evil regime the human race has ever created!
are you sure about that?
For the perpetrators and willing participants of these events, there can only be one outcome
for the end of their own lives and that is a very fast track to the deepest parts of hell.
Are the bodies still there or were they exhumed and given a proper burial? Is that beach still used to this day as a place of relaxation and swimming?
They were buried in unmarked trenches. Some were found when storms uncovered them
Man, this is one of the saddest human errors I've ever heard
Was any Latvian brought to justice for these massacres?
They were imprisoned and shot or starved when the Soviets invaded pushing the Nazis out.. 3 occupations within 5 years, who knows who did what and where they are
Man is so cruel.
Sickening. Pure evil.
Horrifying. 😥
It still baffles me why normal people could do this to other folk,kids etc🤬🤬
The people lined up at the beginning of the video, have all been identified
A mother, her daughter and son, in the white trousers, and another lady
Who was her neighbour, with her daughter.
There are a series of stills, which give clues to the method.
Along the top of the dune is a post with flag, that marked the end of the dead in the trench, and was where
Those to be killed were told to line up.
The boy in the white trousers is crying with fear, he has just witnessed people, undressed, and shot, he knows it is his turn next.
One little girl hides her head in her mothers arm, not wishing to see.
The other side of the dune is the open baltic sea, this was in winter
And would have been freezing cold.
They were such animals. Killing anyone and everyone.
My father served in the 6th USID in the Philippines. His regiment captured a Japanese field hospital on Luzon. They tommy-gunned all the wounded and then killed the doctors and nurses.
And you think the Germans changed? Watch out for these people.
Horrifying, Cruel, Soulless, Creatures!!
Happy are those who Died for Greater good in WWII
The germans have a lot to answer for, even today!
I totally agree
How so ?
@@a1c3c3u ,the war in vietnam laos and cambodia was US genocide on a peaceloving people!
@@a1c3c3u again with equating this to the USA ? Go back to your mommies basement.
The crimes of the Godless Socialist and Communists must be remembered and taught to warn the world. I started reading of the German genocide atrocities in 1975 and have continued to sound the warnings . In all my years of reading this dark history I never discovered these heinous acts of evil. You do a service to the world .
Uuuuuuh. The Nazis were fascists. The OPPOSITE of communism/socialism. Did you not hear that the Nazis were also killing communists???
Right wing governments collaborated with the Nazis.
Stop with your bullshit propaganda.
It is true that millions died at hands of communist regimes, but just as many died at the hands of rightwing regimes.
One wonders what atrocities would have been carried out on the beaches of places like Bournemouth and Weymouth had the Germans succeeded in their invasion of England. We can only thank those brave men and women who gave their lives in wars to prevent similar happenings here. Bravery that seems to be forgotten by our leaders and sympathizers of increasingly authoritarian regimes, who stand idly by today while those freedoms are bit by bit whittled away by the current leaders in western countries that are actively encouraging invasion by those who wish us harm.
Very good. Perhaps look at the murder of 25 to 30,000 Jews in Odessa between 22 and 24 October 1941. Romanian troops played a major role in this massacre along with the SS and Ethnic Germans.
Bad part a similar thing is happening in russia today
ukraine you mean
@@dk4767 Ukraine has no Russian prison camps those are in russia it self
Zelinsky has been killing his own people.
@@katlynn7845 how he didn't provoke russia to invade
It happened in Stalin's USSR as well. History shows Stalin was a much bigger mass murderer than Hitler. And Putin follows in his steps.
As if there was never going to be any consequences for this.
The Ukrainians and Latvians were just as fucking brutal as the Germans.
.....and similar things are happening in the Ukraine - civilians being brutally murdered.
On the 24th June 2022, this was less depressing than current news.
If you are referring to the SC decision, yes, it was a horrible decision.
But don’t downplay the massacre of thousands of people in this city just because they were Jews.
Your statement makes you appear like a Republican.
@@seattlewa8500 I certainly didn't mean to imply that. Yes of course I was referring to that, but also the dozens of gun crimes, hates crimes and racist acts of violence we've endured in the last years. I meant more that history is easier to watch than current events, because I'm not there, I'm here.
thank you . ( 2022 / July / 25 )
What is your source for this information?
70 years of historical study, along with the documents and photographs. How is it that you don't know that? It's all easily available.
@@wfcoaker1398 Thanks, link the documents please.
This goes to show us what a gruesome and vicious race of creatures we are , given certain circumstances. We must teach our children well as the song goes,,
Are the skeletons of the murdered women and children still their to this day ?
Such depravity! They were hunted and killed as if they were animals, the only animals were the Nazis, What evil humans to other humans would make even the devil himself pale and palsy, precious and pure Angels were these victims, we must never forget any of them! They were here, they were loved and their hearts were made of precious gold!
God bless their souls.
Be proud of your past barbaric human relatives, who have given your country and your historical forebearers the disgusting and most sadistic history of inhumanity that ever prevailed.
Compared Hitler to Stalin..and the Japanese...hitler troops were amateurs!
I am very confused about who to be upset with. Based on what I have read, when the USSR occupied Latvia in 1939 and according to Wiki "The Soviets dealt harshly with their opponents - prior to Operation Barbarossa, in less than a year, at least 34,250 Latvians were deported or killed.[63] Most were deported to Siberia where deaths were estimated at 40 percent.[57]: 48 "
Then, in 1941 the Einsatzgruppen came in and killed another 30,000+.
I have studied the Einsatzgruppen, and understand what their orders were and why they killed the way they did. My question is, was the USSR just as bad?
Very confused.
Mankind, DEFINELY NOT.
I don't even see how this evil can b called an execution when it's just plain murder.When I was involved with the Air Cadets,they used to watch Blackadder every yr.The one where the forces go 'over the top'.After the fun stops & the vid slows down showing the troops leaving the trenches,there was always a deep silence.Nobody moved or spoke for some time.It really seemed to affect them all.With luck,they will appreciate the horror & futility of war & hoomans will actually come of age.But with brutes like Putrid & others on the planet,I don't hold my breath.
Whether the beach at present makes any informative display of information about this tragedy
And now Putin is being allowed to repeat history. Where are the MEN of this world 🌍?
Putin didn't kill 14.000 civilians in the Donbass since 2014.....the peace loving Ukrainians did...
You mean Bidens puppet masters. NATO destroyed peace agréément between Russian and Ukraine.
Wow, that was so fucking crude and bad what they did to those poor, innocent people. I truly feel bad for them. And that something like this could happen 😢😢😢😮😮😮😮. Truly!. Truly!. Truly!. Look, why did Germany and Hitler even allow "The Shoah massacres of Jews in 1941 and early 1942 in the Soviet Union" even fucking happen. I mean. Three (3) million innocent people were fucking treated like garbage and shot/gassed to death in those massacres (shootings and gassings.). Those 1941/1942 Shoah massacres of the Soviet Union, are unfortunately play a big role in the Holocaust. Presumably, if it was not for those massacres, there would be more descendants and more Jews alive today, than the 1 or 2 million we have right now in 2024. Well, at least they rest in peace now and today and we have to respect that.
Please ,please send the guy that does the voiceover to elocution lessons ! . We could always crowdfund if needed .
Where does forgiveness start and end???
Hello. Did anyone escaped the massacre?
It terrifies me that so many humans would carry out these horrific acts. They could kill infants and children with no second thought. So many monsters. It scares me that so much that humans , many many did this and went home to their children. They did not have any thought or shame. How could they live with themselves. God made a mistake when he made man.
So awful. Poor people
Thank you. My father's side of the family, well that's me too, we lost many many many relatives in Germany in WWII, mostly Jewish. We were so scared we kept our Identity secret even in the North American Midwest. With good reason, as I have learned there is actual KKK presence as recently as the 1950s where I live now. Also Nazi party or descendants of Nazis living, working, at leisure among us. Even, I have experienced men trying to detect of I am Jewish. I play it off, as there is not much Jewish presence, & I feel threatened at times. One old neighbour harassed me for almost six years. She died of Covid & cancer. Another neighbour falsely accused me of theft, harassing her 13 year old boy, & even insinuated to others that I raped her. All false. The last seven years coinciding with the rise of Trump and the MAGA movement, have actually been a nightmare here in the Chicago suburbs. I am documenting diligently. I am the grandson of Simon Weinburg, I affirm that the Shoah / Holocaust is indeed actual history, true and supported by much evidence & testimony. At this time I advise I can forgive, but don't ever expect us to forget. Never forget.
There’s a special hell for them!☠️
Never again.
That’s horrific
Jews must not have understood Issac Newton's law...for every action there will be an equal and opposing reaction. Tough way to find out for sure.
Only human species behave like this…there no other species in the animal kingdom capable committing these acts..and yet nature allows it to flourish…
Ive always asked this question, why didnt these jews fight back, why no resistance, they outnumbered the guards at least 20 to 1.
👍🏻
So why is Lativa part of NATO?
Most involved were never punished - typical. A few well-placed nuclear weapons should have been dropped on Germany at the end of the war.
Not a executions it was a massacre
muting the narrative and watching the footage is most informative. The channel's credibility would have been enhanced with footage of actual relevance to the narrative.
This happend in latvia ? And anyone wondering why ?
An guy from latvia ( around 35-40 years old ) tell me 5 years ago that the SS from Latvia was the best SS cause they did things that the wehrmacht and "normal SS" dont wanna do by choice.
Most actions they like to do vs russians cause the want to payback some things which happend in history.
And he tell me latvia has no diplomatic relation with Israel.
The way he speak about all this things was disgusting cause he was proud like hell then he talk about this !
lg
The 3 Baltic states created SS divisions and militias who fought with the Wehrmacht.
