Остаётся. Чтобы взяться за старое.
Talked with Vets who fought in France during WW2. One said it was not uncommon to come up against an army of teenagers. Some as young as 12.
He said they were more than willing. They saw it as an adventure. In his own words, "Kids have no sense."
I worked with a German who had been in his early teens in 1945. He told me that he was given a new rifle as the allies advanced and told to go to the front line against the advancing Americans. He told me that the first real soldier that he met took the new rifle off him, and gave him his old one, then told him to go away and hide if he wanted to live. He sensibly threw away the rifle and surrendered to the first American he saw.,
They were crazy but they had gone complete towards the end of the war. General Heinrici was relieved of command in April 45 for not following orders during the onslaught of Berlin and was ordered to go to Berlin immediately, alone and on his own accord. He brought a line of troops back from the front because it was the most logical thing to do. Just before he was going to go Berlin, Captain Hellmuth Lang interceded, took him to the side and told him not to go to Berlin but instead, make a run for it to Plon and give himself up there to the British. Lang explained to him that he found out what was waiting for Heinrici in Berlin was a kangaroo court, where he'd be tried, convicted by a kangeroo court and shot by a firing squad for dereliction of duty, all within in an hour. Heinrici heeded Lang's advice, thanked Lang profusely. He told his driver to stand down. He said he would be needed more there. But the truth is he couldn't trust the driver and he he did not want to have a situation where he'd have to shoot him. He drove to Plon where he gave himself up to the British on 28 May. He was never charged with war crimes and was released in 48. It was noted, that in 1943, he wouldn't destroy the city of Smolensk as ordered. He didn't see sense in doing that. He died in 71.
One German guy told me when he was 15 years old he was called into service. He was given a rifle not far from his home town and told to fire on American soldiers when he saw them come in the area. Him and a friend of his realized exactly what would happen if he stay there with a gun. So the both of the high tailed it. The SS caught up with him but his friend got away. They were getting ready hang him for dereliction. Suddenly the Americans could be seen coming. The SS took off and left him. Then the Americans caught up with and they were getting ready shoot him. A lieutenant told them to leave him alone and let him go. He said his luck was there was no time to get him a uniform. He said if had been wearing that, they most definitely would have shot him.

@@TX200AAfunny America ran on child labor especially during WW1, the labor laws was mostly implemented to make sure the adults got the jobs, yeah the "economy" is rigged.
Oh but hey how's about those "heroic" stories if those who "lied" about their age on the allied side and fought?
It's okay when merica and friends do it but those evil Germans who tried to stop the j e w I s h take over of the world are bad.
What always amazes me is the fact that the german war machine kept going as long as it did.
It was desperation. There is some evidence to suggest that the Reich was going to start a 4th Reich in S. America. They needed these people to fight to give time for the leaders to leave. Also, I might add in American history, it was the south that sent children to war after Gettysburg and Vicksburg had fallen. It was over but they were not ready to surrender. The south also had a law that if you had 20 slaves, you could go home. It was for every 20 slaves. Kind of sounds simular?
The freedom loving people of the Allied countries lasted much longer .
Only if you think they had any chance of success in the last 12 months of the war. They did not and NOTHING they did in that time did anything but prolong their suffering. The majority of German casualties in WW2 were in that final year and they were definitively and comprehensively beaten by 1944. All that happened was it took over a year for the corpse to stop twitching.
Whether in the American Civil War, the Nazi invasion of Poland, or the last days of the Demonic Reich, doom comes when the fighters run out of ammunition, food, and fuel. Such was happening in the last month and a half of Hitlerland. The Americans and British had cut off the industrial supply of the Ruhr; the Red Army had taken the farmlands of eastern Germany and western Poland out of Nazi control as well as Hungarian oil and Silesian coal.
Spirit is not enough. Fear of the Enemy is not enough. War is the costliest of all enterprises.
@@genaro5766 They are brainwashed pawns of the NWO.
My mother-in-law was a school girl during those final days. The children in the town and planted trees in the ground to obstruct the American advance on their village (Wicker). She still remembers the day the battle-hardened American troops drove their tanks up to the trees and stopped to get out and have a look at the children's handiwork. She said that she could hear them laughing all the way into town. Fortunately the Americans were in a mood for forgiveness and no lives were lost on either side.

When this film was shown most Germans realised that the war was lost and about to end, most Germans wanted the war to end.
Yea but there was still a ton mostly ss who wanted to keep fighting and actually still did keep fighting called renegade ss they fought until 1948 only a select few did until 1948 most just blended in with society
Where would there have been a working cinema to see it, or distribution network for it to get there?
@@Foul_Quince Which was why the Germans knew the war was lost. There were some working cinemas, distribution was getting even more difficult
@@Steve14ps Do you think anyone had any time to go to the cinema, what with all the being raped by Russians, bombed by Americans, hiding from SS One Officer Death Courts and scavenging for turnips and horsemeat? You wouldn't think people had the disposable income for cinema.
@@Foul_Quince good point
When you start recruiting women and young boys, you know the writings on the wall.
It wasn't a broadcast, It was a newsreel film, shown in cinemas.
Indeed, and the whole thing is rather unreliable. I would consider this as bad style.
A lot of nations used propaganda this way back in the day. Now it us done by professional liars on TV. Same thing; different mode.
And very few people likely saw it, as many/most movie houses were closed or bombed out.
What Cinemas? I thought they would of been blown to smithereens along with everything else by march 1945? Did German propaganda actually continue on like this?
@@lorm5439 To quote Adam Smith "there is a great deal of ruin in a nation". Back in the day, economies were mostly coal-fueled. Trains ran, electricity was generated, life went on amid the rubble. Bit like Ukraine today.
I've seen those shots of Hitler congratulating the young boys many times.
I always wonder how many of them were alive 60 days later.
Probable none.
I saw a clip or video on that issue of their identities. IIRC, at least 1 survived.
@@rakovsky3901 Most probably survived.
You know, the more I learn about this Hitler fellow the more I don’t care for him.

I spent 4 1/2 years in W. Berlin in the '70s. Sometimes, while building within the city, unexploded ordnance was found, the area evacuated, and the ordnance was defused. An Army member, with whom I was acquainted with, had a metal detector and often found unexploded ordnance in the forests in the city limits. On one occasion he found 6 lugers buried at the base of a large tree. All were wrapped in oiled paper and in neew condition. While stationed in Bremerhaven on the North Sea coast, I spoke to some older dock workers who still believed that Hitler was the best thing since schnitzel for Germany. One of my landlords there admitted that he flew for the Luftwaffe and was proud that he shot down 3 American aircraft before he himself was shot down and spent the rest of the war in a Russian POW camp.
Mustache man literally brought that country from the brink of destruction after WW1 to a world power. The people love him for good reason
This is not that uncommon in Europe.
Here in the Netherlands we also still find (although as time goes by less and less) unexploded bombs and stuff. In Belgium, where there was also a first World War front, it's almost a daily occurrence.
@@steiner554 Surreal that in less than a century Europeans were killing each other.
I only spent a few days in Berlin in the '78 with my class. The school was a so-called Social Academy, where you could learn for things as a social counselor. Anyway, we also spent 1 day in East Berlin, and I could write a complete book about that one day. One of the things we encountered in the restaurant, which was more like a canteen with Formica tables, of the TV tower. One of the cleaning ladies heard us speak Dutch and came closer and closer to our table and finally dared to ask us if we came from the Netherlands. To which we replied affirmative. Her face totally shone up, and she told us that she also had been to the Netherlands,,,,,,, back in the day. Which of course meant during the war.
She asked if we had a souvenir for her, she probably wanted to prove that she had spoken to us. So we gave her a matchbox with a windmill on it, and she was delighted with it. However, another woman, apparently her chef, had been watching and listening to what was going on, and she came up and snatched the matchbox out of her hand, gave her a slap across the face and told her off not to speak with foreigners. We were utterly shocked and immediately left the place. Apparently they were no better off with the Soviets in charge.
Since I had a top secret clearance, I was not to go into East Berlin. I did see Soviet Mission cars occasionally though. One time I was at Tempelhof Central Airport, and I saw one of their cars patked near the entrance to the USAF buildings. As I got out of my car, I brought a camera up to my eye. They saw me and juimped into that car like a bunch of clowns at a circus and took off. We loved W. Berlin. After the wall came down, the city changed. I heard from a cashier at our commissa, who was a Berliner, that when she last visited it, it looked trashy.
I try to imagine a bombed-out theater with very few persons present to watch this last newsreel of the Third Reich. I am positive that the German Volk had more pressing issues to deal with, such as where their next meal was coming from, and when are our soldiers coming home.
As far as I know, the food supply worked until the end.
The real suffering came after the end of the war. The supply of food was then organized by the victors.
The decision for the western zones of occupation (USA and UK) was to give the people starving rations of 5000 KJ (1200 kcal). Average adult food energy intake in the US was 13000 -14000 KJ (3200 -3300 kcal) at that time.
Keep the occupied people always hungry and starving and put their first priority on food, makes them less likely to revolt.
Effect of this starvations policy was a 40% increase in mortality for older people and Children. The lack of food and vaccines increased the child mortality in Germany to levels of the Congo in the 1960ties.
So, the years from 1945 - 1948 were probably equal deadly for German Civilians than the year 1944.
@@lisanalgaib555
The British were on food rations until 1953! There was lack of enough food, farmland was unusable, the Soviet farms in Ukraine were occupied and fallow, so it wasn't just Germany on low rations. European and Siviet infrastructure was also very heavily damaged. Even the US had food rationing during the war. You can't just instantly feed 200 million people overnight.
@@fazole You are right, but the food rations in Germany were the lowest by purpose.
Fearing a NAZI uprising U.S. occupation forces were under strict orders not to share their food with the Germans. The surplus food had to be destroyed.
Also, other nations were not allowed to sell their food to Germany in exchange for German Coal.
The Dutch needed to destroy considerable portions of their crop, because they couldn't sell it to Germany as they had previously done. Denmark wanted to exchange lard, Norway fish, Sweden offered considerable amounts of fats and Turkey hazelnuts for German Coal.
The Allies were however unwilling to let Germans trade.
There was a similar pattern after world war I, when the English kept the sea blockade of Germany until 1921.
@@lisanalgaib555got any actual citations for your claims the Allies forced "starvation" rationing on the German population - in place of actual lack of resources (due to war) ?
@@williestyle35 It's not a secret. Google "Food in occupied Germany".
Or read the Joint Chief of Staff directive 1067.
Why don’t you let the original commentary speak for itself? Or provide English subtitles? The English/American commentary provided here is clumsy and lame. We know the historical facts, surely. What would be interesting would be to hear the tone of the original German commentary, which is suppressed here.
Totally agree. I kept waiting for the real newsreel to start. Wasted my time here.

if you want to see the originals.
They were still making these newsreels near the end of March 1945. Both wow and nuts.
Hell, the post office was still running fairly efficiently until the surrender.
A full length feature movie about Hitler's hero Frederick the Great was made fairly late in the war, too. They would have pulled several battalions of troops off the lines to make the period battle scenes (no CGI in those days).
@@ktipuss1
Last newreel is was made in April 1945
We are completely surrounded by no troops.
Hitler was 50 when the war started and 56 when he died...In just 6 years he aged 20 years.
The fast aging is clearly seen since the beginning of 1944, look at him just after surviving Operation Valkyria, and compare him to this footage greeting the Hitlerjugend, in April 45'.
He aged 15 years in less than one.
First, for him it was very hard psychologically. Remember the Führer Prinzip in Nazi Germany. Everything what the Führer was saying and doing was considered as absolute truth. Don't think just believe! And - suddenly! - he realized (he might be crazy but he wasn't an imbecile not capable of adding two and two) that all his calculations were wrong. That he wrongly estimated his forces and the forces of his opponents and so on. And unlike other leaders in more or less democratic countries he couldn't make responsible someone else. He and only he made all decisions. Of course he blamed his generals, but it was a pitiful excuse. An infallible leader couldn't be decepted. Second: his overall health and psyche greatly worsened after the attempt to murder him. Hitler in 1940 and 1945 are two totally different persons.
He had a quack doctor who was basically turning him into a drug addict and he probably had early onset Parkinson's disease which will badly age anyone who is unfortunate enough to get it.
Just think of all the innocent people he killed and realized they didn't get to age because of him.
Well, much the same thing happened to Abraham Lincoln
Informative video - well worth the time to watch it. Thank you.
Newsreels (Wochenschau) were not broadcast, they were shown in movie theaters. It is remarkable that they were still producing these this late in the war. I wonder how many theaters were actually still operating and how many of them received and showed this film. It would be interesting to see the entire newsreel, either dubbed in English or with English subtitles. My German is a bit rusty. Did Goebels himself actually do the voiceover for the film or was it somebody else? I would also be interested in learning more about that final radio broadcast.
Wochenschau stands for weekly show/cast
@@artiz91 That is the literal translation, yes, but that is the word that was applied to newsreels in Germany. That is how it is usually translated.
very valid point. I'm asking myself the same question. Radio transmissions through the so called Volksempfänger might have been more influential. I assume it was like a background humming: keeping up the same propaganda and tone like a not so soothing lullaby. Whenever propaganda comes to the end of what it can propagate, it has a ridiculous cabaret like effect. It just goes on till the record finally breaks. ( I also assume a number of people went on producing that stuff to avoid becoming part of the Volkssturm as some people shooting a film used the opportunity to escape the death trap of Berlin for instance).
Why did not just show the broadcast?
The Panzer Faust really was a remarkably effective hand-held antitank weapon. That part of the newsreel was true. Of course, it wasn’t enough to stop the Allied advances into Germany.
The panzer faust is similar, as a concept, to the soviet hand-held Anti-Air rockets gifted to North Vietnam to shoot down american helicopters. It didn't work for the germans againt the Stalin IS2 tanks, heavy artillery and Katyusha rocket lauchers, but the same idea worked for north vietnam.

Thr most of PF stock was used against Germans. A lot of PFs were captured by Americans and Soviets. There were Russian manuals how to use it properly.
@@tommymorton4939 Against which German tanks in the West in 45? There was no Tiger anymore and a few Panthers and older ones. Nevertheless, every 3rd contact reported from US soldiers was a Tiger, while there were no more Tigers anymore at the Western front. That's hoe propaganda works, Goebbels was a genius in this way, a Steve Jobs of WW2, selling an even worse product than Apple...
@daleburrell6273 You say that un-ironically with a trump flag as a photo. Despite his many faults at least Minh actually succeeded at being a dictator 😂😂😂
The Germans were not fooled by the films and broadcasts made by the NAZIs. More that one has been interview saying that starting with the destruction of the 6th army in Stalingrad all the armies were falling back on every front except the NW Europe front but the newsreels showed nothing but victory. When the Invasion of the Normandy front began, it was the same. Victory after victory until final defeat came.
I saw a great quote "I knew the end was coming when I realized the great victories were coming closer and closer to home"
Pretty well similar to the false narrative being promoted by Western media with regard to current events in Ukraine, whereby we're constantly told that it's close to victory, even though the Ukrainian military is close to being finished.
@@CrankCase08Or very similar to the propaganda you spew about Ukraine. Your beloved Russia is failing. And deservedly so.
There's a grain of truth to each claim of victory. In any offensive which produces great gains for the attacker, there are always a few attacking units which become overextended and short of men and materiel -- therefore vulnerable to counterattack. German forces made small recaptures here and there up to the end.
You all were totally fooled by the Nazi Propaganda Machine. If not, then you are an inherently evil people.
Bravo Sergio!
Well done, like the new editing
Thx for the insightful piece.
The Germans were not so keen on fighting to hold onto conquered lands like France and the Low Countries, but it was a different story when it came to defending the Fatherland, especially against the Red Army. But by March 1945, General George Patton thought that it would be easy for the U.S. Army to advance further into Germany as morale in the west of Germany was collapsing and that the Wehrmacht would be more ready to surrender to them than to the Russians. In fact, movies show well-armed German troops and Luftwaffe personnel surrendering to Patton's forces in Czechoslovakia. Patton also knew he could get to Prague before the Russians did (and a patrol did get into Prague's suburbs) but, like his proposal to drive into Berlin, it was canned for political "considerations".
The Russians had fought right the way through Czechoslovakia losing nearly a Million men dead and wounded, go to Brno and Bratislava and have a look at the War Cemeteries, there are Hundreds of Women names amongst the dead, also Hungary and into Austria, It was the Russians who had smashed the Nazi's in the East and many of the German Bastards who the Americans took were War Criminals including Auschwitz Guards near Pilsen, Prague was full of Germans some were Czech Nationals Sudetan's, they were Brutally treated by the Czechs and the Russians did not care anything for the Germans, they had seen enough of Their Brutality. I for one have NO sympathy for the Germans or Germany they literally GOT away with Murder at the end, yes High Profile Nazi's were Executed but Thousands of SS with War Crimes got away, many with help by the US and the Vatican, been better if they had been sent to Russia or Poland they would have dealt with them as needed. Simon Wiesenthal had more than two hundred Thousand files of War criminals.
Seemed like a good idea at the time. The western Allies were planning peaceful cooperation after the war (Stalin wasn’t, but was keeping it quiet). Different sectors of influence were allocated in most every freed country. For example in Greece, Stalin got some say in what was going on. After the war, he used that as a base to launch a communist coup in that country (failed).
Germany, as all know, was divided into four sectors. As Berlin was wholly inside the Soviet sector, Patton was told to halt, and let the Soviets do all the work. It made sense, given the policy.
If the minority view had been followed, that of Patton ( and Truman), the Allies would have taken all they could, and got ready for trouble after the war. When Truman became President, he wanted to do that, as his memoirs say, but the agreement had been made, and there was not enough support to reverse it.
Not many like to say it, but if the ailing FDR had died before Yalta, where this was hammered out, Truman could probably have got his way. United democratic Germany, No east bloc to speak of. A different world.
И Прагу и Берлин брали русские. А вы, пендосы, второй фронт открыли только по тому что боялись что Сталин вообще всю Европу захватит. И взяли вы ровно столько сколько смогли. Сталину надо было фронт попридержать в 1944, не организовывать наступление о котором его просил Черчилль, вас бы тогда немцы разбили.
@@HooDatDonDarPerhaps, but also perhaps WW3 starting before the corpses of WW2 were cold.
@@HooDatDonDar Field Marshal Montgomery as well would have liked to have advanced east towards Berlin but was told no. He took his advance units to take the approaches to Denmark in front of the advancing Soviets and blocked them.
There weren't just a "few days" of the war still to go on Mar 22 1945 as is claimed here. Germany didn't surrender till May 8th so there were still over 6 weeks to go. And I bet every day in Berlin felt like a year. It was madness this had to go all the way to the bunker.
I'm sorry, but the text to speech software makes this video unwatchable. It's unfortunate because the topic was interesting. You would have been better off just playing the actual footage.
Definitely. Very off-putting. Why not just read the text??

Sad, really. Recruiting boys and older men to fight in a last ditch attempt to prop up the vile regime. From the high up military officials to the citizens in the streets, they had to be aware the end was becoming increasingly apparent, leaving a legacy that would haunt the nation forever.

Excellent analysis of the final horrific moments of WWII. Have we as human beings learned anything? NO. Look at the state of the world in 2023. Half the world is starving to death and the othere half is ready to blow itself to pieces! 😢
Massive generalisations. Plenty of humans were never involved in that war. Without a war for 70 years is much better than 1940-1945. Your last statement is complete hyperbole.
No it isn’t.
Sad, but true. As 'Pogo' put it, ''We have met the enemy, and he is us''.
The lessons were well and deeply learned in the '50s and '60s; but as the people who fought in the war died off their lessons were forgotten.
Seems some things need to be experienced viscerally to be learned…

Thank you for your straight and unbiased analysis. I appreciate the lack of propaganda and commend your professionalism when it comes to history.
Yeah, let's make sure we don't appear biased towards the most brutal regime in history so as not to offend Nazi sympathizers like yourself. Actually, this guy is so unbiased that sometimes it's hard to distinguish where the German footage propaganda ends and the narrator's script starts.
@@deanronson6331 Okay, if this is biased and the commentor was a Nazi sympathizer, what is the truth that has been distorted here?
What did the narrator say that is false? How did this video paint Germans in a favorable light?
WW2 and the Holocaust is the best documented horror in human history. There are Holocaust deniers and alternative narratives, but nearly nobody bases their ideology on these narratives. Contemporary Nazis are not motivated by the economical achievements of Hitler or the Autobahn, they are actually perfectly fine with all the atrocities that Nazis performed. If you listen to Nazis engaging in politics today, the only way to differentiate them from "conservatives" is their party affiliation. Trump speeches are more compatible with Hitlers propaganda than theirs. There might very well be no difference at all.
What makes original Nazis stand out is not the quality of their crimes, it's the scale. The same crimes have been committed throughout history over and over again and we (humanity) keep committing these crimes casually. All you need to do to see that is to open your eyes.
Scale is important. Very much so. But I think it's important to focus on quality before it scales.

I muted the audio on this particular video, and watched it synced instead to The Doors - The End
So much less bullshit that way.
Great information as always.
Even at the end, still dreaming of some magic weapon that will turn everything around. I'm guessing sane Germans were at that point just hoping to surrender to the Western Allies rather than the Soviets. BTW my dad was on the Italian front. He didn't talk about it although once decades later after watching the Band Of Brothers show he recounted how in April, 1945 they came into a town where only hours earlier the Nazis had lined up some civilian hostages and shot them in a reprisal. Even when everyone knew it was almost over they were still committing war crimes.
Hitler had his armies destroyed in the East by refusing his field commanders the freedom of action. Those were the armies who would have defended the Reich on Eastern border in 1944-45.
HItler had plenty of blame on his side. BUT--his commanders during Fall Blau also didn't grasp the bigger picture and were often gunning for glory rather than strategic advantage, which is why Hitler took on more and more direct control. TIKHistory has a number of good vids on that situation, and he pretty much debunks the "madman Hitler" excuse.
@@josepherhardt164
He was too distrustful of the Wehrmacht and preferred the SS who though zealous were no good in military tactics.
@@manasseskamau5327
To be honest, his Generals were shit too.
Researching the German high command goes as follows:
1: Hitler WAS an idiot!
2: His generals were THE idiots!
3: They were all f'cking stupid.
The war is not gonna be won because one general gets what he wants, these men were politically motivated, psychopathic, drug fuelled arseholes who were too busy blaming each other instead of fighting the enemies.
Erwin Rommel is the biggest example, his tactic was to defeat the enemy in detail, and try to encircle them, like, I'm pretty confident anyone could counter that after the fifth time its happened.
The Generals were arseholes who had no clue what to do, Hitler was an arsehole who was deluded.
@@josepherhardt164...HITLER WAS A MANIAC-!!!
I guarantee you that man had an IQ twice of yours (source: Nuremberg trial IQ tests & average african iq's) and yet you are sitting here in hindsight still unable to grasp the situation he was in.
It's why he was able to lead a country with practically no natural resources against several of the world's superpowers for nearly half a decade. Every move was logical, he knew he could not win the war (same with Japan) but they sought to make victory for the Bankers as difficult as possible. Of course not impossible.
Not sure what a "news broadcast" was - there was no widespread television back then, and certainly not in Germany at the time. These were physical film newsreels that had to be copied from negatives and transported to local theaters to show.
There was no television yet. Quite right.
It was well known that many of these civilians , after receiving their panzerfausts , when out of sight , threw them away and rerurned to their families . They knew the Russians would offer them no mercy if found in possession of these anti tank weapons .
В Советской Армии были не только русские, и представители других национальностей.
In the Soviet Army there were not only Russians, but also representatives of other nationalities.
The material is good and educational to see, but something is wrong with the narration as it is mechanical and full of odd pronunciations.
First time on the channel. …….is this a computerized voice-over?
Treat a people as "Untermensch" in the cruelest possible ways imaginable, and then claim "Foul!", calling them "beasts" when they behave in exactly the manner forced upon them is beyond irony.
You can see that in almost any war or war-like situation. Look at Arabs applauding the murder of innocent civilians while at the same time complaining about the bombing of "their" innocents. Or look at the systematic murder of people confined in Gaza described as a just retaliation for the acts of terrorists. A sane person would understand that murdering innocents is a crime and that's all there is to it. If you want to murder innocents and receive praise for it, you just need to mark your target as "them" and find an appropriate "us". Then you can separate families and sleep soundly. A kind of cruelty that is by far not comparable to gas chambers, but that has a certain resemblance of what happened when Jews arrived in Auschwitz, it's just not pushed to the grim conclusion of a Holocaust.
All an American has to do to legally torture and kill people, independent on who they are or what they did, is to do it abroad. There is no due process or rule of law in Guantanamo. All that has to be done to negate the most cherished freedom of speech is to make the subject of speech a matter of national security and the freedom is gone. You can call that irony or flawed logic or just understand that this is how we humans function. We slaughter animals for bacon and eggs with the same ease with which we slaughter people, all that takes is a manufactured lack of empathy.
If you take up arms to defend your great nation, you sign up to kill your peers who believe they do the same. You may disagree with your government, but unless you are a sociopath, there is someone whom you are willing to defend, for most it's their mothers, sisters and daughters, as a matter of biological programming. And this is exactly what this last video is about. It's not about victory, superiority or anything that served to start this horror, it's an appeal to our human nature that is mostly a call to suicide. Something we can see every day in the news, 90 years after Hitler took "office".
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Call people subhuman, treat them like vermin, get treated like vermin when the tide of the war turns against you, use such treatment as 'proof' of your enemy's sub-humanity.
Also I would just like to point out that Germans were by no means ALL treated like vermin when the tide of war changed, something that can't be said for their own treatment of Poles, Jews, Russians, Roma, etc
nazi evil truely knows no bounds. they even forced those they called subhumans to rape to death the german girls and women the claimed to cherish so much.
Soviet actions were horrific, the German actions were horrific, it is not a competition on who was worse.
The Soviets raped anyone that wasn't Russian, the Germans raped anything that wasn't German.
...THEY COULD SURE DISH IT OUT- BUT THEY COULDN'T TAKE IT!!!
So very sad.
By that time, people were walking from Germany on into Poland and even further east. I had a friend who was part of the line of people. He told me about that and how if you got tired, you could go to sleep in a ditch for a few hours, get up and get back in the line. He said that they walked for days and then turned around and went west because, "You didn't want to be captured by the Russians." Apparently, they would shoot you without question.
German TV ended in August 1944. Video wasn't broadcast- and by March 1945, it was very difficult to get film out to the remaining cinemas as well.
Great videos, but the robot voice is hard to listen to.
One minute in and I can already figure this is another AI generated channel.
I clicked on this and learned a new word. Not panzerfaust but "fifthly"😏
This channel does some terrible stuff in editing historical footage. Instead of fitting the original aspect ratio within the standard UA-cam aspect ratio, they just arbitrarily chop off the top and bottom. This means lots of important details are missing .. and major figures' heads are lopped off
Why didn't you just show the reel with subtitles? I'd rather form my own conclusions about the details of the clip, rather than someone else's interpretation.
This newsreel is snippets from late 1944 to 45, I have the entire collection from aug 1939 to late march 1945.
Good observation... why don't these type of uploads never get a thumbs-down?
@@hankguichelaar I have no idea but they are still intresting.
А когда вышли последние новости по немецкому телевидению? У них ТВ работало во время войны.
4:17 Not "Wolkstörm" 🙉, but "Volkssturm". 😉
How can the AI voice know it?
@@whukriede Die künstliche Intelligenz kann auch deutsch verstehen und sprechen. 😁
@@Stefan_DahnI would guess the software used is something specialized for speech synthesis (with an extra fee for every language probably), not the most advanced "general language model" stuff and such. So in this case, I would say the "AI" neither understands anything nor can it speak arbitrary languages. But who cares.
The title led me to expect this would be the actual newsreel, not this narrated analysis.
Is the narrator a computer? His speech is very odd.
Is the voice a over computer voice?
Yes, I think so. "AI". I think the uploader speaks something other than English, and is either worried his accent will make his words unintelligible, or cannot speak English.
@@PolferiferusII Fair enough, i'd prefer an accent with subs tbh. Looking at his IG he's Spanish, and proximity to the WW2 battle sites probably from Spain.
Very good, but the word is "segment" not "fragment" when talking about the various portions of the broadcast. You also said Hitler surrendered after the Battle of Berlin. Totally wrong. He committed suicide to avoid surrendering.
I thought he moved to Argentina and had plastic surgery?
The German radio continued broadcasting until Berlin was occupied. The building is still there today.
Too many people fall for propaganda no matter the time or place, it's easy and mindless to follow instructions and orders from your authorities than to figure things out for yourselves, the majority of people prefer the easy and mindless way even when the cost is far greater, and the rewards far less, thus the problem never ends.
...THAT WAS BEFORE THE INTERNET...
@@daleburrell6273I get the joke and true enough the internet just made the process faster if anything
"And now sports"
Where did they show it? Hardly any Cinemas was left by then? And a German Magazine, Signal, had its last issue in I think Sweden?
VARNUNG! This is the kind of "history" that one gets from people trained in video production and not history. The original has been chewed and digested into something meaningless.
CNN playbook.
It's rare to see un biased commentary on this it is very sad no matter what was going on or what happened or the crimes committed on all sides it's very sad to see a country in its death throws knowing that the end is any day now especially for those in Eastern Germany
Well, dancing with the devil usually means there will be hell to pay.
Sad in a way. It is sobering to consider that millions and millions of Europeans cheered the death of the regime, at any cost.
its literally a bot reading
I'd rather see subtitles without the commentary. We already know what happened.
Randall Thompson, looks like you know best about committing crimes, war or otherwise.
While the initial abuses of the Red Army against civilians were indeed horrific, the Western Allies were not much better. This wasn't usually mentioned bc till the end Nazi Germany hoped for a separate peace deal with the Western Allies.
I see these pictures and look at the world today... let everyone make their own judgment.
Can i use the Music intro of this video for my video? I’m making an ASMR ambient of the Third Reich’s street and i’m in need of sounds like this
I guess this is free to use, since it was the opening tune of the news reel of the 3rd Reich. I guess the successor of the 3rd Reich will not ask for royalty. ;-)
@@lisanalgaib555 thanks haha. I did use it and uploaded the video without copyright claims 👌🏻
Be careful !
The Wochenschau musical intro is coming from the infamous „Horst-Wessel-Lied“.
A march song for the SS.
It is forbidden in Germany! Even the melody.
You can find it on UA-cam but here in Germany it is blocked - not playable. Only allowed in a scientific context like in this video here.
So you can get in trouble when you make it available for german users!
This Intro music was often followed by an excerption from Franz Lists „Les Preludes“.
A famous piece, very „bombastic“, therefore fitting to reports from the eastern front.
You better use that.
"...And YOU should've stayed out of Poland!" -Indiana Jones
As for Volkssturm. It is often compared with Soviet people's militia units which were formed in the beginning of the war. But this comparison isn't true. Soviet militia units were formed by army standards and as soon as possible were turned into ordinary rifle divisions. They have proper officer staff from the outset. And they were formed from volunteers who by this reason or that hadn't been drafted to the regular army. But who otherwise may be drafted. They didn't consisted of old nen above 60 years old and youngsters under 16 years old. Unlike that German Vehrmacht acted like state within state and Volkssturm units had no proper army training nor adequate weapons nor officers.
quite true. The Volkssturm had also younger men, not just the ones above 60, but those exempted from service as in crucial industries like coal mining etc. My granddad - 42 yrs at the time fled and hid in the woods for days till the Western front finally collapsed and the Americans moved in (to be followed by a French occupation of the Saar region till 1953). The Wehrmacht was a completely different institution altogether, you are absolutely right. I don't know about the Soviet militia units, but from what I know they seem to have had proper training.
I thought this was the actual last clip. Not an annotation of it all chopped up and talked over.
I would imagine a difficult decisions to be made as regards editorial content ,The end was nigh
Sehr gut!
Good history Channel
Wait, this was a "broadcast?" Like on TV? How many Germans had a TV or opportunity to watch one? Or was this a newsreel show in movie theaters?
Cinema
Broadcast in cinemas?
yup. not much people owned a TV
@@spqqq_ there were not TV
Why didn't you just translate the broadcast? Why did you think you had to Spoon Feed this Propaganda to us?
As several have already pointed out, the broadcast is readily available online. This program was an analysis of the broadcast. If you didn't want that the use google and find the original. I thought the analysis seemed pretty much spot on.
I wonder at what point did the German Generals know the war was lost and defeat was inevitable?
Mid 1943…
When hitler declared war on America.
D Day
When D-Day happened
Mid 1942.
That Defense of Berlin worked out so well for them. The Reds had 60X the number of artillery pieces and the same with tanks.
Why did i thought it was the last Video of The "Deutsche Wochen Schau"
They simply thought they could win with sheer will power over any adversity. AH felt he was not going to live past the year 1950 so the time was now, even mistakes or strategic defeats were deemed correctable and the win was attainable with just a few tweaks from the Fuhrer. It was a series of cascading misadventures as the months went on that they never could recover from.
Cataclysmic, December 10th 1941 they were toiling outside Moscow and were one day away from declaring war on the USA.
USA was instrumental in supplying 85% (4.7Mbpd) of the allies' total oil.
Not to mention, Soviet propaganda was shouting that the pure power of RUSSIAN BALLSACKS SAVED OUR NATION.
So, when Hitler hears that, he's obviously gonna believe the 'better race' is gonna repeat that.
the Nazis were brutal against the Russian population; no small wonder why the Russian troops responded in kind
If you play this post backward, one clearly hears the proclamation "Praise be to Mephistopheles! An orange haired entity has been born in an alley behind a home for sporting ladies in America."
Reich News Today is still on the Radio and especially in the folk Media and especially for the Commemoration of the Wonder of Imperial leadership everywhere Quality Exists to Care for Life beyond the common Boundaries.
Computer generated voice narration. AI generated script too? UA-cam please identify these.
The difference between 1945 and today on receiving information is the answer.
Huh? Are a Jeopardy trivia writer? What was the question you answered with that vague meaningless "answer"?.
Why not show the whole news real instead of talking over its chopped up bits?
The end of the video sums up the summimg up. 😂

I think German peoples fought furiously and stubbornly until the last moment of European WW2, especially against Soviet armies .. German people swallowed Nazism propaganda machines utterly...while allies poured 🫗 theirs angers with ultra furious, ultra credulity upon German cities and urban areas besides remarkable Soviet soldiers brutalities ...that meant allies helped Nazism regime propaganda machines for pushing German peoples to partials Nazism regime until final moment. Thank you for your respectful 🙏 ( war academy) channel for sharing
Just like you’ve swallowed the Zionist propaganda machine then lol
When a nation is nasty to others they know what awaits them when they get overrun by those they oppressed especially by those they classified as sub humans .KARMA.
@@jaymareachealee3351Facts Germans asked for it 😂
You should read more. Many cities in Germany suffered because their leaders tried to surrender to the advancing Allies. You can also read how Volkssturm Units would melt away overnight and how citizens were very hostile to Hitler Youth Units that tried to make a stand in their towns. Its a myth they fought to the last and there were over 100 active divisions still in the field in April 1945 and they ALL laid down their arms.
the political science question is " does the structure create the attitude, or does the attitude create the structure" my favourite bosses are either German, and German Jews. they're actually the SAME people.

When ppl think of Hitler, they mostly think of the holocaust. But in reality Hitler was also responsible of millions of german deaths as well. As a result of the war. Both soldiers and civil ppl.
