    Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 5 of diary of an enlisted man in Germany's army, who served on both the Eastern and Western fronts and was wounded four times before being captured in 1944. After a highly unpleasant stay in a French POW camp, he was turned over to American authorities and sent to the U.S., where he spent a comparatively comfortable 14 months in several POW camps. Repatriated in 1948, He worked as a dental technician until his death.

I 😂 he and his comrades are so funny and they’re always talking about food, and I feel so bad for them because even when Germany was doing their best before the war and early in the war, they still never ever ate like the Americans.. we grew enough food here during World War II, David Americans, British POWs & Russia

    I thought this one seemed familiar until suddenly I was able to predict what happened and then I remembered that this one was part of World War II stories before that channel went under. A lot of it was ringing as familiar but starting in the middle of the last episode I knew I'd heard it all before. It's good that a new audience will get to hear it because that channel is gone so there should be some place to hear this. Also I want to mention again that the closed captioning is ridiculously bad on these last couple of episodes. I'm not trying to be a complainer but I need the closed captioning to be able to keep up. .Edit- I should point out that the closed captioning on this one is good but the previous two were very messed up.😊

The war for Germany was quickly deteriorating & coming to a climatic ending. Miracle weapons. V-2 🚀 wasted on Britian/instead put to better use launched at the approaching Russians. ME-262 fighter jets were available for missions. Had fuel & experienced pilots been available. According to German fighter ace " Adolph Galland ". In his memoirs published after WW-2.

    I believe the image you feature here is a Canadian - or possibly British - solider escorting two German prisoners (perhaps on D-Day cuz of the sand, or in Holland?). Given the last 3-4 video journals concerned the effort to move west and surrender to the Americans instead of the Russians in 1945, it’s quite an oversight no?

      @@WW2Tales thank you. You were very quick to respond to my much earlier requests for the best AI voice and I very much appreciate that. It was the voice that World War II stories used to use and it always elevated the subject matter. I know that the narration gets off sometime but I'm okay with that but the closed captioning is actually important for me because I have a hearing problem. I'm not deaf so I can tell that they're not synced up but it would be really nice if that could get back on track. Literally.

      After the war, very few Soviet soldiers would have been brave or crazy enough to attempt to preserve an honest account of their activities during the war. There were endless purges in that totalitarian state, countless people accused of cowardice, disloyalty, collaboration, subversion... The best survival strategy during the Stalin years was to go unnoticed.
