The Soviet Union death were so high that there's an entire lost generation of men. Population numbers in Russia and other former soviet states still suffer dramatically today from that loss.
you're right
This is something nobody knows about anymore. Everything is just, Russia bad. It's sad.
Russia must die.
Before ukraine war there were 4mill man short in russia. Now the number raised a much I think...
and the reason for so many deaths is the legacy of the monarchy... the Russian Empire was backward both in terms of technology and in terms of industry and agriculture, and the Communists simply did not have time to restore the backward country after the First World War. (therefore, the Soviet armament was not infrequently lagging behind the German, there was not enough food at the front, medicines sometimes too.) if the revolution had happened earlier, the losses could have been reduced tenfold.
Mathematics of civilian casualties in the USSR in 1942. Three Germans were killed near the village. The village was surrounded and burned down along with all the inhabitants in the number of 188 people. This is one example out of tens of thousands
Мой дед прошёл всю войну. От советского Союза до Берлина. На стене Берлина его роспись. Артиллерист.
With the amount of casualties the soviet union had I never thought it would be possible for a soldier in the soviet union to see the war from beginning to end
@@Nclake5485в этом видео потери Германии на восточном фронте занижены в 4 раза, потери у Немцев на Востоке были почти такими же как у Советов, но видео создано для Западных людей, поэтому тут многие смерти советских граждан рассматриваются как вина Советского руководства... Политика

@chuck_quincymrp2640 not right, if German loss was as you suggest the total Ost heer all branches the war is over in mid 1943. Country births prove thisfor year by year. Although the Bundesarchiv now admits to 3.5 million troops KIA in the East.
Azerbaijan was one of the countries in the USSR, out of 681,000 conscripts, 300,000 died, almost as many as US casulties, which is crazy because Azerbaijan SSR only had a population of about 3 million. One of the men who fought in stalingrad was my great grandpa, Rustam, who was shot in the legge and sent home in 1943.
My grandfather (American) enlisted around 19-20 - and fought after Pearl Harbor until the end of WW2. He came back a very different man. "Shell Shocked" now known as PTSD. He died 8 years before I was born. He became an alcoholic - he died in a fox hole he dug in a snow bank 2 blocks from his apartment. I always wonder if he heard a car backfire or a gunshot and by sheer instinct dug himself in and died of exposure/hypothermia. It's so surreal. Who was he? What horrors did he see and experience in all of his service? I only know he did come across one of the concentration camps - and it broke his heart and mind. He became cruel and detached - but I still feel sorry for him. I wish I could have asked him questions. I still have so many questions that will never be answered. I know he became something of a monster after coming home once the war was over, but he served until the bitter end and deep down I know he never got any treatment or diagnosis - so he looked for the solution to his issues in the bottom of a bottle and never found any sense of peace - and that makes me feel such sorrow for who he could have been. But one thing is for sure; he was brave. He volunteered and enlisted of his own free will. He witnessed atrocities. And it mangled his soul and tore him to shreds. My poor, broken, yet courageous grandfather. If there is an afterlife, I hope he found the peace he so desperately wanted to find. 😢
PTSD is the beast that never sleeps. The most difficult part is the readjusting to civilian life after working so long as a cohesive unit.
now quadruple that and u have the average eastern front. Still sad for you and ur granddad. Mine fought on the eastern front and got captured and thrown into a copper mine which collapsed later.
@@semiramisubw4864 and then those wounded in eastern front got executed to end the suffering of the soldiers
Very sorry to hear that about your grandfather. War does ugly things to people, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Thank you for sharing his story. It has touched my heart
That shot of the German soldier preparing to kill the civilian holding a child brings tears to my eyes every time. I've probably seen this video 30 times.
"Tears" is a pretty wholesome reaction. I would have to say "unquenchable rage". The sort of people who did that are still around, and still hope to get a chance to do it again, to this or that scapegoat. They don't hide it. They brag about their little conspiracy theories that they made up in their heads to justify their hatred.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 All too true
I had the same reaction, made me want to cry. Just heartbreaking! 😢
Jinyatta yeah its staged and you fall for it like a true sheeple.
its sad many of them were forced to do all of this, but the waffen ss willingly did all this which is terrible.
Вряд-ли в нашей стране возможно посчитать потери . Но одно можно сказать точно : не существует семьи , которая бы не потеряла предка на войне .
Действительно?!? это верно?! насколько это было плохо?
@@nicklibby3784 2 миллиона человек за первый год войны попали в окружение, но сколько погибло? Выйти из окружения, месяцами прячясь в лесу без возможности подтвердить свою личность , свою историю и не попасть под НКВД , с их расследованием против тех кто был в плену. . . уж проще второй раз попасть под призыв. Так у нас получаются ,,дважды убитые,, . Полицаи отдельная история , сначала они работают на немцев, потом всеми способами пытаются записаться в партизаны, а как начинается расследование - записаться в мертвые герои СССР. Да же историю смерти своих родственников невозможно 100% подтвердить. Ленинград - там самые загадочные и лживые истории. Как величайшую оплошность в планировании списали на блокаду. Сотни тысяч людей умерли , не из-за каких то немцев, а потому что старая система логистики была признана не эффективной и нужно было переходить на новую (эффективную). Ликвидировать северный центр снабжения и расосредоточить(из-за захвата такого цента осенью в Киеве, по доктрине централизованного снабжения). Вот только вся северная армия , беженцы с Украины, Белорусии, Польши , Латвии, Литвы, Эстонии все направились туда, где уже было приказано леквидировать центр поставок. Огромный промышленный город , вторая столица. Все силы на эвакуацию заводов и специалистов. Люди есть, оружие есть , припасов нет. Куда записать этих погибших беженцев? Приказ 227- ни шагу назад , пока на западе все думают, что заград отряды убивали солдат, на деле сами солдаты не правильно поняли приказ и думали, что их расстреляют. А офицеры не чуть не лучше - поддрежвивали опосения рядовых, хотя сами не знали как работает этот приказ. Слухи и страх быть убитым своими , убили больше , чем заград отряды . Есть в Ленинграде - ,,дорога жизни,, . Это маршрут через озеро , по которому доставлялись припасы во время осады. У нас в официальной истории написано, что это дорога героев, где самые смелые под обстрелами артилерии и самолетов, по хрупкому льду везли припасы. Там погибло двое моих предков. Но если сесть изучать вопрос очень внимательно, то можно обнаружить, что до дороги жизни от берега 18км, у немцев на северном направлении нет артилерии, которая бы могла стрелять на такое расстояние. Авиация? У защитников города её в 2 раза больше + ПВО с земли и флота. В статистике написано огромное множество погибших на этом пути. Но как они могли погибнуть? А если начать изучать ,, торгсин,, то сам дедушка Ленин встанет из мавзолея на красной площади , чтобы тебя расстрелять. Уж очень это темная тема. Если официально : это магазин для иностранных туристов, для обмена иностранной валюты на советский товар. Если не офицально: ломбард для обмена скрытого от приватизации на дефицитные товары. Офицально: закрыт до войны , а все причастные приговорены по статье за привышение должностных полномочий , с целью разбогатеть . Но есть в отчетах за 41й год пункт - трофейное золото . Его там несколько тонн. Откуда в 41ом у отступающей армии трофейное золото в ЛЕНИНГРАДЕ? Есть огромное множество доказательств, что в голодающем Ленинграде , меняли еду на ценные металы . Доставленную еду , для торгсина , записывали в уничтоженную под атаками врага. Но это никогда не попадет в книжки по истории.
Stalin's and high command's fault
@@b4nterontilt245 no. they contributed most to winning the war , western contribution was small

It's sad seeing this video talking about the long piece but then knowing how recently the war between Ukraine and Russia has started, how tensions between China and the US have grown and overall how violent and messed up the world has been getting. So sad seeing how many innocent lives are ruined do to unnecessary hate, greed, corruption, and other rediculous reasons.
Well, the war is between Russia and Nato, to be exactly. Ukraine isn't independent since 2014. That is why Russia was negotiating with USA and NATO before conflict.
Ukrainians don't mind to be slaves of USA to make Russia weak and made all for war. I was ukrainian till 2020, I know what I'm saying.
It's why wars need to be nipped in the bud before it takes hold, otherwise it can escalate into something far worse and bigger, and I have a feeling that if the west didn't respond so forcefully to the Ukraine-Russian war, things might have escalated far worse.
As the video points out, this is the longest we've had when it comes to peace since Roman times, at least in the sense of major peace, because clearly, wars still happen, but are far smaller in scale and will it last? I like to think so but you never know and personally, I feel if a major war does break out, it's going to be because of the US or China butting heads, basically, China rising as a power and the US not taking it too well, it wouldn't take much for it to escalate into something major, but then, the same could have happened during the Cold War and peace remained.
You pretend like the world is just turning with tensions. While the west has been raping Middle East for the last 30 years.

The song she is thinking of that refers to the average age of soldiers being nineteen was from an artist named Paul Hardcastle back in the 1980’s and was actually referring to Americans sent to fight in Vietnam.

The average age of a U.S. veteran. According to stephan ambrose, was 26 years old. The average age of a Korean War veteran, was 24. The average age of a Vietnam War veteran, was 21.
My great grandfather passed away a couple years ago. He was i think 97 years old. He was a 2x puple heart, POW in germany. He was a truck driver/mechanic and he was in many famous battles. He was such an amazing man....
There is a fantastic German TV series called “Generation War” that I can’t recommend enough. It’s about a group of friends including 2 brothers who are sent off to the war and what happens to them through the war and its aftermath.
Bardzo fantastyczny i bardzo tendencyjny
Nazi propaganda
@@nicklibby3784 you have serious brainrot. You've seen too many of your American propaganda movies, so you probably think German soldiers are all Cartoon caricatures screaming "DEATH TO THE J3WS"
The song is true. We don't have many songs about the age of defenders. If you want, I'll give you examples. My grandfather was almost twenty years old. Gunner, two concussions, shrapnel in the shoulder. He lived a happy life.
He didn't like to tell me about the war. Only on the ninth of May. When he could drink a little vodka for dead friends. I'm 41, I still remember all the little things I heard.
My grandmother is a minor prisoner of a concentration camp.
She miraculously managed to survive. She didn't say anything at all. When she became old and died (my parents took her to their home, in her old age she could not serve herself), huge stocks of food were found in her apartment, especially dried bread.
The second grandmother lived in besieged Leningrad. Have you ever cooked sparrow soup? Did you know that after the blockade was broken, there was a carriage with cats in the train train? There were a lot of rats. Rats ate corpses and carried infections.
Do you know that people didn't get sick at the same time? Couldn't afford to be sick!
You know that we still have an inscription on the wall: "Attention, this side is dangerous during shelling!" (the shelling was carried out from the west, from the Pulkovo heights).
Read about the norms for issuing bread by cards. Would you be able to survive? The loss of a food card is
death!
People were evacuated! First of all, children! There is a poem by Olga Bergolz. And there were victims. A lot! Children! The "Road of Life" took place in winter - on the ice of Lake Ladoga. The air defense was working at full capacity, but it was not coping.
Schools and theaters were working (you can imagine how it was, especially in winter, the first winter was -30 Celsius, the blockade lasted almost 900 days, this is an all-time record). Saint Petersburg (Leningrad) is the cultural capital of the country. Tram tracks have been repaired. Shestakovich gave a concert. The seventh Symphony was written in besieged Leningrad.
Sorry, I'm talking about a sore point. If you are interested, I can tell you more.
Many children reported that they were adults. Even more minors joined the partisans (watch the 1985 film "Come and See", if you are impressionable, it's better not to watch).
Very, very many men have died. There was a demographic crisis after the war. There were women left. Nature made it so that after the war more girls than boys were born. We are still recovering now. As far as I know, we still have more girls than boys. And the women are very beautiful.
Grandfather is an artilleryman.
Grandfather is a fighter pilot.
Grandma is a nurse.
Leningrad:
Great-grandmother - arrested a downed fascist pilot (a family heirloom is a school graduation dress made of parachute silk =)).
Grandmother - miraculously escaped death in a Nazi concentration camp (Germany paid her a lot of money every month after the war).
Another grandmother (half-sister) worked at the factory.
Minors went to the front (they lied about their age).
Female fighter pilots and female snipers.
"There is such a profession - to protect the homeland."
We won the war, but the USA won the war (Я не знаю как перевести с русского, "победить" и "выиграть" у нас разные - слова. I do not know how to translate from Russian. "to win" and "to win" we have different words. In one case, "victory" is meant, in the other, "a win".)
I would be glad to talk to you.
when i was much younger, i worked at my dads barber shop and a lot of the clients were ww2 vets, most of them were very quiet, and never talked about the war, we even had 1 ww1 vet- he never talked about. im honored now that i got to meet them. my dad was a korea war tank commander- he never talked about it. he did say once that in one fight they were with ENGLISH TROOPs and they were good fighters.
One of the reasons why no one wants to talk about it afterwards is that not only have they experienced the horrors of war, but most of them have also done terrible things themselves. That is the nature of war. It is a mixture of guilt and repression. when my great-grandfather was dying, he was in a delirium (morphine) and was describing scenes he had experienced. this was 70 years later. we were standing by the bed and were shocked at what he had experienced. especially because he had never told us anything like this before.
@@katzmax1совершенно верно.
The best-ever documentary about WW2 is "Apocalypse: The Second World War." Takes you through it step by step over six parts. Conveys the full impact as best as I've seen.
one of the worst parts of the holocaust is the fact that those who perpetrated it weren't the monsters that films and TV led us to believe, but were normal people who thought what they were doing was justified. Look up the book "Ordinary Men"
True. Villains don't see themselves as such, they see themselves as heroes. And heroes are those who win, not necessarily the "good guys". I was in grade school when the narrative taught switched from "how the West was won" to "how the West was lost" (referring to Westward expansion in the US).
As a Russian, I can honestly tell you. Most citizens of the Russian Federation are sure that the Nazi regime in Ukraine and Russia is fighting against the Nazis. And all who know the reality are either dead or live underground fearing death.
Победа во Второй мировой войне была достигнута совместными усилиями стран-участниц Антигитлеровской коалиции. Значителен вклад в нее западных союзников, разгромивших и пленивших 176 дивизий. Но главную тяжесть борьбы вынес именно советский народ.

Three uncles of mine served in the U.S. military during World War II; my Dad's brother Lawrence (U.S. Army), my Mom's brother George (U.S. Army Air Force), and my Mom's brother-in-law Ken (U.S. Coast Guard/U.S. Navy). All three survived the war, although Lawrence was wounded twice, first in Sicily in 1943, then on Omaha Beach at Normandy in 1944. George re-enlisted in the Army Air Force after the war ended, finally retiring from the U.S. Air Force in 1972 after 30 years and three wars. Ken served in the Pacific fighting the Japanese.
Ordinary people, doing extraordinary things
Actually, there were significant numbers of soldiers under the age of 18.
The Royal Navy accepted boys as young as 14, the 15 was more common.
I many countries no one was looking too close at the paperwork - so many underage lads enlisted.
Somewhat famously, the most decorated soldier in the US Army, Audie Murphy,
coming from a poor family, he had his sister lie on an affidavit certifying his age (he was 17)
and was enlisted, despite being baby-faced and
his enlistment physical listing him as: 5 feet 5.5 inches (1.66 m) and 112 pounds (50.8 kg)!
A lot of children fought in the Soviet Union, in partisan detachments (pioneers), withstood numerous tortures, but did not give up. One example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Guard_(Soviet_resistance)
Именно поэтому 9 мая это праздник со слезами на глазах. Славянский народ сражался не за режимы, а за свое выживание. Сталин великий лидер. Рузвельт и Черчель признавали что им не удалось бы совладать с Германией без СССР

Its crazy how both my grandfathers (paternal and maternal) are alive over the age of 90. I wouldnt be alive nor would my parents if my grandfathers had been born a little earlier and died going to war. My great grandmother lived to be over 100. Its nuts sometimes the ride life might give you. I would pay my respects to every soldiers grave every day if I could for giving Americans today what they have. Red White and Blue forever.
It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.
I'm always surprised by how many people Germany actually had, their military was massive
Not all german soldiers where nazis it is unfair to classify all Germans as Nazi
The term Nazi then isn’t what it means now (neo Nazi). Nazi is just a party member. All Germans were nazi’s as it was the only party. He does say Germans throughout the videos
Well most people support the concept of collective responsibility so the whole nation is blamed for mistskes of government or aggressive minority

@@archamtracovich8783 True Very True
The Wehrmacht was an arm of Nazi Germany's military. The video is an overview, it's not about splitting hairs.
Not sure if someone has already listed it but the average age of 19 was from the Vietnam War. The average age in WW2 was 23.
U mean ww1
My grandfather was 🇺🇸 Army Infantry in WWII. He was captured 4 months into his 1st tour and was a POW in Nazi captivity for nearly 10 months until he and a handful of other POWs escaped & made it back to 🇺🇸/Allied lines with the aid of 2 German soldiers that they met on the way who didn't want anything to do with Nazi Germany. In exchange for acting as their "guards" doing a prisoner camp transfer when they came up on other German soldiers, my grandfather & the other POWs would vouch for them once they made it to allied lines. One of the Germans was an artist and gave my grandfather the 2-sided sketch/charcoal he made on while they spent the night in a German jail over Easter during the escape(it's quite the adventure!). One side showed a lush valley with a stream running through it and the other side was a bombed out cityscape on fire. That piece sat alone, in honor, in a double-sided crystal frame on a small table in my grandparents' living room. My grandfather only talked of his experience to my grandmother, my aunt(his daughter) & myself due to the things he witnessed & experienced over there. He only talked to me because of a school assignment where I had to interview a WWII veteran and present that interview/paper as a speech in class. He let me take that drawing by the German soldier that helped them escape to show the class during my speech. My grandfather unexpectedly died in 1991 and my grandmother passed in 2013. When she passed, my uncle had high quality copies of that drawing made for each of us in the family. My grandfather obviously had PTSD from his capture & time as a POW which is why he never spoke openly about it. He told me a tiny bit about "life" in the POW camp which was incredibly hard to hear but mostly focused on the escape & journey back to allied lines. He told my aunt MUCH MORE, which she wrote down in her journal at the time and has told me I can read anytime and that she left it to me in her will. I haven't asked to read it yet.
You'd think mankind had learned a lesson from this.
It hasn't.
The video argues that we learned, but obviously no memory is forever.
you cannot learn anything from something you didn't experience yourself, especially if something had occured quite some time ago. That's why there will always be wars. Add to that the sheer cult around soldiers, especially in the US, where you see parents proudly standing around the coffin of their son covered with the flag, that for me is pervers. As long as parents are proud that their sons are dying around the world for no reason at all, things will never change.
Both my Grandfathers fought. My moms dad was in the US navy on a mine sweeper and my dads dad was in the British Royal armored core 7th fusiliers and was the radioman/loader on a Sherman tank in N. Africa and Sicily.
German soldiers are not Nazis unless they were actually Nazi party members. So, 500,000 "Nazis" did not die in the Battle of Stalingrad. This is a common misstatement/misunderstanding.
I cringe every time he says "nazis" because it makes modern generations think that every single person in Germany was a "nazi" like conscription wasn't a thing. I can't imagine how people would react if their government drafted them then everyone labeled them in a negative way.
The Weirmacht was an arm of Nazi Germany's military and were complicit in the atrocities conducted by the Nazis.
This is a distinction without a difference.
19 - by Paul Hardcastle. Your mom gets big props for remembering this awesome jam! 👌
My dad, RIP, was a U.S. naval aviator in the Pacific Theater of operations. He flew transports. Went on to become chief pilot of a major regional airline.
I worked with a guy who was in the Treblinka concentration camp. Had his number tattooed on his arm. He was Polish.
My grandmother had to give birth to my Aunt Pat in the subway tunnels during a German bombing raid on London. She never said anything about the Blitz other than it was "absolutely dreadful". She married the first U.S. soldier that proposed to her, my granddad, just to get out of the country after the war.
12:55 they looked at this picture and the first thing that came to mind was a movie, wow
MY father was Marine in WWII. he was 22 and on a small Japanese island. He was 92 when he passed in 2014.
As I recall the Median Age was 19 and the Average was 23.
That's from memory however, which is known to be unreliable.
"Schindler's List" is a must see if y'all haven't seen it.
My daughter last night while watching this video said "Dad I want my hair like Sophie's for school tomorrow" 😭 bless her little soul, she is blonde but adores Sophie to death
My great grandfather and great uncle both survived WW2 my great grandfather passed away in 1999 he was in the USAAF fighting in the European Theater and my great uncle passed away in 2011 He was in Navy on a minesweeper ship in the Pacific Theater
If we had a second of silence for everyone lost to WWII we would have silence for 2.8 years… crazy!
Every time he says the average age is 23, it hits me so hard.
Boys and girls practically. Dying as pawns on a chessboard.
the thing that gets me about this video is that each icon represents 1000 people, such a chilling visual
I watched a documentary on London recruits going in and saying they were 14 and the enlistment office telling them to come back in when they were 18. The would leave and come back in and say they were 18
yeah because its 8-1 = 7 I know its goes over your head.
One thing I really dislike about that video, which otherwise is a very good one, is that they refer to all German soldiers as Nazi soldiers, when obviously not all of them was.
Welp, so much for the "Long Peace" now lmao
Ye. It seems Russia wants milions of their people dead again
We all love each other.... we have forgotten that sadly.
1:02 you are referring to the song "19" which is about the Vietnam war :D The songtext is: In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was twenty-six
, in Vietnam he was nineteen
This is why we remember them!
The song you referenced was about the war in Vietnam, it douse refrance ww2 saying the average age of a combat soldier was 26, but says the average age of the same combat soldier in Vietnam was 19 which is for the most part true, due to gurilla warfare tactics used the Americans struggled and constantly needed reinforcement and so the age dropped due to necessity.
Of course there were people who lied on there investment forms but that was the average ages.
The song is Paul Hard Hardcastle "19"
The youngest soldier to die was 13 that should give you some perspective on what was happening. the age of enlistment was 16 most didnt wait and the officers were happy to let them serve
Yugoslavia will always be remembered as the fire that kept burning even after being doused by water multiple times with a people that love their freedom and nation so much that they'd give their lives one after another for it.
It’s wild to see people making jokes while watching exact part of video about staggering losses of lives
I can't with the fidgeting foot in the corner the entire video.

"Schindler's List," "Sophie's Choice," "Life Is Beautiful" ("La Vita E Bella")....
My father fought in WW2 he was in England to Normandy and fought in many battles including the battle of the bulge. He went all the way to Germany....
Same thing here in the the US we have the selective service so everyone 18-25 have to sign up by law, you dont actually have to serve but in the case of an emergency they may enforce it and draw from a lottery,during WW2 we had a draft, I'll give you an example too as far as the German soldiers my great-grandfather was stationed outside of Stalingrad fighting the Russians, but he couldn't stand the Nazi party he was pretty much forced to fight in the infantry and was eventually wounded when his magazine was shot while he was reloading and was thankfully captured by the Americans because this was towards the end of the war when the Americans moved in towards the west and spent the rest of the war in an American pow camp but a lot of them were forced but the stories that my grandfather with my great grandmother back in Germany after the war how they would find live ammo and grenades and artillery shells just lying around when he was a kid because nobody picked it up afterward

Average age of 19 sounds like when they were enlisted. I enlisted as a combat soldier in a much later war, and at the ripe old age of 21 i was the 3rd oldest guy in my Troop. Nearly all 18, one 17 year old, a few 19s, and old people like me over 20 throwing off the average.
An example of how you can have some people of a higher age and a lot of people of a younger age and the average be 19:
((17*20)+(18*100)+(19*200)+(20*100)+(21*20)+(45*5))/445=~19.3
My example demonstrating how 440 people of age 17-21 with the mean at 19, and 5 people at age 45. Most people in this example are younger. This _idea_ of proportionality scales to the millions of people who fought of various ages. Most were very young, some were older. Because there so _so many_ more of a younger age than of an older age, the average calculates out closer to the younger end.
Something for yourselfs to watch or listen to is Tom Clay's What The World Needs Now. The b side of the record is titled The Victors. I really don't think U Tube will let you show it on your channel.

1) As of the end of 2022, about 167,000 American WW2 veterans were living. That's only 1% of the 16 million who served.
2) I was not familiar with "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas." It is historical fiction, and apparently many have criticized it for being too fictional. Some have even called it a "fable."
The number is incorrect, in total, the Soviet Union, according to official data, lost at least 26 million people, and according to unofficial data, more than 30 million.This is the pain of each of our families, so you honor the memory of those people who stopped this hell.

Minor correction, the average age of US soldiers in WW1 and WW2 was 26 if I am not mistaken. UK I think would be about the same.

As strange as it may sound,
That ,,The Long Peace" was possible is also due to the result of 40 years of efforts by the government in Bonn (West Germany, 1949-1991)
The Bonn politicians have in 40 years
have done their utmost to keep the world and Germany peaceful.
As a country that was responsible for the Second World War,
Germany after Hitler made sure that never again a country would do what had been done in its name.
With its foreign policy and its policy of détente, the "Federal Republic of Germany", which served peace, gained trust in the world during the Cold War.
Whether in Russia, America or China.
Actually the average age of 19 refers to american soldiers in the Vietnam war, not WW2.
The lyrics we are talking about are from the Paul Hardcastle song "Nineteen".
"In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26
In Vietnam he was 19"
Re. Films of WW2, highly recommend Steven Speilberg’s Schindler’s List & Empire of the Sun. Also a small beautiful film about Jewish survivors, The Island on Bird Street.
Had a few family members in the service...my grampa, who was an apple farmer, in Northern California, wasn't able to get enough work at the cannery during WW2 so he and a few men in the area caught the bus to Mare Island Naval Shipyard (Vallejo, CA) where my grampa was a mechanic there and helped repair the ships fighting the war. My Aunt Irma, a Red Cross nurse, was there that morning when Pearl Harbor was bombed. She was tough as nails and did her job well. My uncle was a Marine, serving in Korea and later went to Okinawa, Japan. In a weird twist, he ended up marrying a real nice lady, Fusako Shindo, my aunt, whose family were killed in the Hiroshimo/Nagasaki bombs.
What's a grampa?

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was purely fiction.
The average age here in the states may have been 19 because the draft age was 18. We also had people in the Japanese end of this war, so some parents had son's (& daughters) in Japan & some in Germany. I don't remember if anyone from Europe (back then England was part of Eu.😂) Was in Japan 🤔
Keep taking the tablets, dear.
Glad you reacted to this. It is a sobering video.

The rate of sldier deaths by a bankrupted country before 6 from start of the war was amazing
Excuse me but can you also please do WW2 timeline
Ww1 and 2 have a combination of 91 million people deaths maybe over 100 million death's
I had family fight on both sides. America and Germany.
He lies about the US not targeting military targets. Undoubtedly the firebombing raids on Tokyo, Yokohama and such did kill many civilians. But they were done because the Japanese did not produce most of their war material in big factories, but instead in little civilian owned shops, which it was impossible to separate from the general homes. And if he's talking about the Atomic bombs, well, Hiroshima was a military target. 1) It was the home of the Japanese 2nd Army. This was the army charged with protecting Southern Japan against the American planned invasion. Between 44000 and 80 thousand soldiers were based in Hiroshima. 2. ) Since it was unbombed it was a communications hub and home to one of the few functioning Japanese early warning radar systems. 3. ) There was a Japanese armed services airbase in Hiroshima as well. Those three things, plus the fact the US targeting committee didn't know there were any US POW's in the city (There were actually a few) Led to us choosing it. And while there were still 200 thousand or so civilians living in Hiroshima at the time of the bombing, most of the prewar civilian population had been evacuated over the years. Nagasaki wasn't as important, but it did have two very large war manufacturing plants.
Great comment justifying murder, thanks psycho
@@Ra111den Yes, you do sound like a psycho. A psychotic individual would believe that war was conducted with flowers and butterflies and didn't involve the killing of humans after all. So tell me, how long have you needed medication to deal with reality?
Aiden your right that no winners in war except death. Oh what's up with the jumping foot
I think about when I wish I were born too but what are my circumstances in each time period?
A lot of the bombing of civilians, depends on what you classify as a civilian target. For example, a lot of bombing was targeted at factories produce in Tanks guns and shells. He’s targeting the factory a genuine civilian target or is it a military target? I’m not saying it’s a good thing or anything like that. But you can see what I can get confusing right.
For the most part it's true that bombing raids were directed at military targets and I feel alot of people today don't realize how inaccurate munitions were back in the 40s, it's not like we could send one jet up and drop a laser guided bomb through the factory's smokestack, these raids had hundreds of bombers to hit ONE target. British bombing raids were even more inaccurate due to them bombing at night (to avoid fighters). As long as civilians are around one side or the other will use them as cover, look at the video that came out of Ukraine of a Mig-29 launching rockets "at the houses" the person is filming from... what you don't see in that video is a tank that is hiding in those group of houses.
@@Maddog-wm5xi Exactly, the lack of PGM’s on top of targeting the means of production i.e. the factories make war material, makes it so much harder tell.
@@Maddog-wm5xi the bombing in march 1945 lasting some days and run across the outer western border to the eastern border of Germany, almost a straight line, by the RAF was aimed at civilians, as the british later said, it was to break their spirit.
If you're looking for something more fun, I'd like to see a British take on Trevor Noah's "How the British took over India" stand up set. I know the Blokes have done it, but I think you might find it funny.
