A very important 1st hand account of the war from the German side of events. Von Rosen was very lucky indeed. Wounded 5 times in the thick of most of the biggest battles of the war. I throughly enjoyed this personal history.

No sleep, cruddy food, plastic Jerry cans full of warm, fetid drinking/washing water. Great pals, great adventure and limped away . Best job I ever had.

As an aging "Grunt" myself I laugh when the Panzer officers complain about how slow the infantry is...... they were on foot- along with the horse drawn big guns are still marching like the Grand Armee' was doing back in 1812. Hitler forgot that more than half his (Heer) army was on foot like the armies of wars past. Only the Panzer divisions were advanced and high tech but the engines/mechanical parts couldn't deal with dust, mud,..... mother nature. They had to be maintained and couldn't roll through Russia w/o having breakdowns. Guess it was because Russia by choice or Force finally used their wide open country to withdraw and withdraw till they could turn around and fight........

@@titustitusnation1999 Don't get me wrong I never said they are bad. Last Panther is actually very very good and that's probably the best book in describing the horrors of war. Only after I have finished it I learned its fiction, but still, stories like those definitely happened to people in the war, they just sadly didn't have the opportunity to write them down..
I admire the honesty of R von Rosen, He describes not only the battles and, but also looting of the soviet store in the first days of the war and drinking Cognac and what not while on active duty. That is how it really was.
Unfortunately ,many of the place names were the German version and trying to locate some of them on a map were near impossible, only maybe to one town in a very large area at times, although, it is also possible some of the villages do not exist anymore. Was hoping the subtitles would help, they were very poorly done to say the least. Good story, sure he saw a lot that he didn't talk about, from the early days and his time behind the lines in reserve areas. Would not have been a nice experience, they took as good as they gave thru the course of the war, being a tanker, he was very lucky to survive it, in large part due to the equipt he operated..
I read a book called SS Colonel, about a group of SS who fled to France and their foreign legion after the war. They were sent to Indochina. Supposedly a personal and factual biography.
The edition I read is titled “Devil Guard”. All the serious historians I’ve read about of have “significant doubt” regarding it being factual. The version I read alleged ‘they’ (= a regiment of ? with intrinsic armour plus intrinsic artillery plus intrinsic heavy antiaircraft withdraw onto a plateau, are surrounded by soviet forces and successfully hole up there for 3 or 4 months, sending every attack reeling back at pretty much no loss. They all get French identification via the ratlines but the French government changes its mind & they get the option of more war in foreign legion or everyone is going to be executed. Came over as a little too far fetched. Regards from Oz🇦🇺
It is a historical fact that numerous soldiers in the French Foreign Legion who served in the French-Indochina War we German WW2 veterans, some of them former Waffen SS.
@@MadMax-bq6pg SS Colonel describes them fleeing for the Western Allies lines, swapping uniforms with dead soldiers and "losing" their i.d's. The French had a pretty good idea who they were, but needed good soldiers.
@@MadMax-bq6pg I met one of these men in Singapore many years ago. H The book may have holes in it however French CoC people I know have recounted similar historical tales.
Excellent 3rd Reich panzer leader's memoir, thank you for the upload. If I may, I'd like to request an additional English-translated combat-memoir: Thorolf Hillblad's "Twilight of the Gods".
I found this an interesting read, however the complaints of this german aristocrat about the conduct of POWs, after what his country did to the "untermensch" stinks of hypocrisy
10:11...THE GERMANS COULD SURE DISH IT OUT- BUT THEY COULDN'T TAKE IT!!! ALL THAT THE GERMANS GOT WAS A GODDAM GOOD TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE- AND THEY DESERVED EVERY BIT OF IT- AND MORE-(!)
I find it a bit disturbing that in the final chapters, the author laments that the French occupiers were "hateful" and "bent on [the Germans] destruction" as if the Wehrmacht and Nazi Party didn't spend the past five years subjecting the rest of Europe - not to mention the Jews and other "undesirables" - to those very same attitudes on a much, much larger and more vicious scale. Where is the author's self-awareness? Did he understand that he wasn't the victim in all of this? I suspect not. At 8:23:32 writes that he "felt like an animal in the zoo" when he was in a French-run prison and some official's wife and daughter came to tour the jail. How can you write that with a straight face knowing - as he did - the brutal and inhumane subjugation that the Nazis visited upon their many victims? Disgraceful, and the epilogue does not mitigate this fact. At the very least his learning of the true extent of the horrors of what was done should have prompted a re-visitation of the last two chapters.
The author was a Wehrmacht officer, not a Party official. The Wehrmacht did not , as a rule, treat the French as animals and casually shoot and torture French citizens. The treatment of the German people after the war was shameful and brutal. The perpetrators of the policies conducted in German-occupied areas, including the higher-rank officials in the Party were prosecuted and tried after the war and rightly so.
@@mathiaslundqvist9982 I understand the difference between the Wehrmacht and the Nazi Party, thanks. Do you think that the Wehrmacht didn't enable the Nazi Party to do what they did? Do you think they didn't round up Jews and others for the camps? Even outside of the events of the Holocaust, they were an occupying force and they were cruel in ways large and small. They committed MASSIVE atrocities in Poland. And the author complains about having to salute a French officer while being relatively free in his hometown in Germany after the war. My point stands. And you either need to learn a bit more about this topic before you engage in debate or examine your reasons for defending the German Army during WWII.
Whenout the human right of feedom of speech,, the right to bear arms, and believe on God, we war, persecute, and suffer idolatry....four and one half years of blind belief systematically promoted to war, hate, and.persecute.
Yes, absolutely. Even the front cover photo of the book shows Von Rosen himself standing in his actual Tiger, early in 1943. There's plenty of supporting evidence.
The Nazis were shut down before they could get their shit together. If they had gotten their shit together, they would have made the communists look like boy scouts. And as far as the tired arguments about the Allied carpet bombing of and aerial destruction of German cities, we have to admit that RAF bomber command would have been useless if they didn't go after German industry. There is a lot of evidence that the destruction of Hamburg shortened the war. So, stop.
...YOU'RE IGNORING TWO VERY IMPORTANT FACTS: 1- "THE ENEMIES OF GERMANY" DIDN'T START THAT GODDAM WAR IN EUROPE, AND 2- IF THE GERMANS HADN'T ACTED LIKE A BUNCH OF GODDAM SAVAGES, A HECK OF A LOT OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!!!
