WWII started in Poland. The incident was 22 later. That is not a long time for a people that has been over powered by the Nazis. So I fully understand that reaction.
When das Boot was filmed in 1981 in France, one of the actors (Martin Semmelrogge) was wearing his wehrmacht uniform when he was drunk and entered a french bar. He was lucky to get away with his life
That’s no joke. I had three friends who went to a French sidewalk cafe after having spent a month on business in West Germany. When the older waiter came up, one of them said in perfectly accented German, “Drei Bier, bitte!” (Three beers, please!). The waiter got upset, turned around, went into the cafe, and shut the doors. “Didn’t I say it right?” asked one of the other. “Dude, we’re in France,” came the reply. So, yeah, not much love lost there between the Francophones and the Germans. Well, at least in 1995. I don’t know about today.
A similar incident happened in Russia in the 90s. An old man was inside his house when German journalists entered his yard. On hearing German, the old man came out with his hands up.
Thank you for sharing but, I'm sorry, that's the story sounds made up or at least inaccurate. After all, East Germany had been part of the Soviet Bloc for over four decades by then and Russians (who refer to World War II as the Great Patriotic War) would not have reacted to a German by immediately surrendering. This sounds like a joke about the French. 🤷🏿♂️
@@theoutlook55Considering our ancestors killed over 20 million russians in cold blood I would totally understand this reaction. Never heard of deep going traumas?
An older french couple lived in my street in Australia. One day the army was doing exercises and was flying over in old piston engined transport aircraft. I remember seeing the woman ghostly pale and kneeling in the yard. 35 years after the war, her memories of being bombed had been triggered.
the american and english planes used synchronized engines and the german planes were not. Two distinctly different sounds. My mother and I were in an old movie theatre sitting in the old canvas style seats during an exercise and she had the same reaction. During the war she worked assembling artillery shells and was bombed at home and work on a number of occasions. The plane you speak of was a Caribou transport plane made in Canada and the engines were not synchronized. Later in life in the army I flew on them and always remembered the experience which terrified my mother. Sitting in a dark movie theatre she thought they were low flying sneak raider planes on a bombing run. The twenty years after the war finished was gone in split seconds. That was 59 years ago and I was 10 years old and have never forgotten. They immigrated to Australia in 1951. My father was a D-day veteran in Cromwell tanks. Some nights he used to run through the house and smash through doors screaming about being on fire. Both are at peace now. One day I hope to find that too.
they went trough two major historical events, the second world war and the subsequent great migration (out of europe towards the US and Australia (mainly)

I think he would have received a worse beating if he wore a Soviet costume. As someone who’s ethnically Polish 9/10 of you ask a poloc who was worse the Germans or the Russians, they’ll tell you the Russians every single time. They would act like literal animals committing the most vile acts.

Sharif was born in Egypt in 1932 and lived there until moving to Europe in the 1960s due to exit visa laws at the time. Needless to say he didn’t quite have the personal background to understand maybe it wasn’t a good idea to leave the set in that uniform.

I came to the U.S after living 10 years under civil war; I used to work at the World Trade Center. When I saw the attack; I almost cried saying "terrorism again."
I was visiting Paris in the 80s where a WWII movie was being filmed. Our tour bus rounded a corner and we were suddenly faced with a shocking sight: huge red banners with black swastikas were waving from the roof of the Palais Bourbon, where the French National Assembly meets. I was only in my 30s and I lost my breath. However, the older people, who had lived through the Nazi occupation, started screaming at this shocking sight. I will never forget that day.
My grandparents were in there very early 20’s/late teens when the war broke out. They rarely spoke of their experiences except my grandmother saying “it ruined my life” my grandfather worked for the ambulance service and retold an experience he had whilst in the hospital of a young girl propped up against a wall. He thought she was sleeping. He approached her to find half of her back missing from an explosion.
Idk I think Stalin was way worse than Hitler. I mean I can at least understand why Hitler wanted to bring back the former German states and to repeal the Treaty of versailles, which economically and culturally crippled the once powerful German empire.
@@HypnoChode74 Anyone who says Stalin was worse than Hitler is admitting to being a Nazi.

I heard of a story where a World War 2 reactor in Pennsylvania was spat on by US ARMY World War 2 Veterans in a McDonald's because he was dressed in a Waffen SS Uniform.
A film about WW2 was being shot in the Polish town of Toruń in the 1960s. A market square in the old town got a temporary new street sign Adolf H.. Platz. The same happened to adjoining streets. An eldery woman came in the morning, saw the signs and began weeping "oh my god, they are back!".

The Germans were allied to the Ottoman Empire in WWI. Territory included much of the middle east, and egypt. They were used to having military types around from those areas. (Still in WWII-era.) Why the stupid Wonder Woman movie bothered me: The Arab actor acted like he had to pretend to be the mere "driver" of white guests to the German castle. Um...no. He could say he was a middle-eastern fighter, or advisor, or honored guest. And been waved through.
@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking Nazis were in WW2 , during WW1 Egypt was already in British empire, since roughly 100 years before , since the Napoleonic wars ! Sorry to burst your bubble !
@@etherospike3936 I didn't say the Ottoman empire owned Egypt in WWI. I said they were allies of the Germans in WWI. Which means, valued. So he doesn't have to be a "servant of a white person." Like the movie shows. Mentioning Egypt was just an example of the diverse ethnic backgrounds that those in the Ottoman Empire. Not just Turks, but people who can come from all over, Arabs too. I thought the idea of my point came across. That the movie is just acting a bit racist.
He should probably have pointed that out, then they would have relaxed a bit more and believed that he was just an actor. Or just said his name is Omar Sharif, that would probably be enough 😉😂😂
I am a German Bavarian decent person I love those German military uniforms, knee high black jack boots, helmets, peak caps, and how they express themselves nothing like today version
It is never remembered that in the original story, in the book, the psychopathic general is, after the war, a general in the DDR army, not an SS or anything like that, but converted into a communist leader.
People in the Western world aged up into their late 50s have no idea what that sort of horror feels like. We are so very pampered & don't even know it.
War trauma runs deep... I was a war refugee over 30 years ago, got through it without any PTSD and my whole family survived, but it's still hard for me to tell about my experience and it's not something I hide, I just don't ever choose to go there... Only 3 people in all these years heard my entire war story... one is my husband and my 2 best friends. Well, they showed interest and I had nothing to hide. My dad endured a lot, but becides some fun anecdotes that would pop up on some sporadic occasions, he never went there or talked about bad stuff...
Those are from different tiger 1, tiger II, Panthers and Panzer IVs. Their meant to prevent magnetic bombs from sticking on their tank, despite no other coubtries but Germany use them Look up the Tiger H and you'll what im saying. Its interesting
Because nobody in that cafe had heard that Hollywood had come to their town to film, filled the hotels, and had loads of excited school kids trying to catch a glimpse of filming. None of them. Nobody had talked about it, not the local councillors, not the local police, not the local electricians, caterers… nobody. They hadn’t noticed the extras on motorbikes, the huge tanks rolling past… And Omar picked the cafe furthest from set? I doubt it.
The Poles have always learnt from their past and whatever it takes to demonstrate the lessons learnt they will demonstrate it. And that is precisely why their immigration policy with regards to people from the Middle-East is what it is. Now, that's a great nation right there!!
The older you get, the shorter 22 years becomes. For many, it was probably like yesterday.

Trauma comes in many forms, and can resurface from many sources
Poland does not forget
Of course,80% of "their" current land is stolen germany and we have not forgotten that,either. See you again.
I came to the U.S after living 10 years under civil war; I used to work at the World Trade Center. When I saw the attack; I almost cried saying "terrorism again."
I was visiting Paris in the 80s where a WWII movie was being filmed. Our tour bus rounded a corner and we were suddenly faced with a shocking sight: huge red banners with black swastikas were waving from the roof of the Palais Bourbon, where the French National Assembly meets. I was only in my 30s and I lost my breath. However, the older people, who had lived through the Nazi occupation, started screaming at this shocking sight. I will never forget that day.
PTSD runs long and runs deep.
22 years is still new for many people
Anyone above the age of 30 would have memories of it, and he entered a bar so there's probably a lot of adults there,
That imitation tiger they did a really good job of making those tanks look like tigers I got to see this movie
I was just wondering if that was a real Tiger.
@@ColossusProductions Yes I guess if it's blurry and in the background and you don't show the tracks, it's not so difficult.
Two outstanding actors
This is an extremely good and underrated film.
My grandparents were in there very early 20’s/late teens when the war broke out. They rarely spoke of their experiences except my grandmother saying “it ruined my life” my grandfather worked for the ambulance service and retold an experience he had whilst in the hospital of a young girl propped up against a wall. He thought she was sleeping. He approached her to find half of her back missing from an explosion.
Omar Sharif probably felt gangsta all dressed in Hugo Boss..
Exactly right uniform designer
The US Army had Omar Bradley. The Wehrmacht had Omar Sharif.
Omar Sheriff is an Egyptian actor and i didn't expect any Egyptian actor to play a role like this
I feel very proud..
Ze Wermacht 😂
@@MichaelCorleone77829He probably got caught in his German uniform at El Alamein 😂
@@Bjowolf2the best!
Things some will never understand even their relatives generations later "fuck Hitler and Fuck Stalin". - Edward Bernadzikowski
Fuck Western imperialism that wasn't and isn't any better
You just made up a guy to attribute you fake-deep "both sides are equally bad" quote to.
Idk I think Stalin was way worse than Hitler. I mean I can at least understand why Hitler wanted to bring back the former German states and to repeal the Treaty of versailles, which economically and culturally crippled the once powerful German empire.
@@HypnoChode74 Anyone who says Stalin was worse than Hitler is admitting to being a Nazi. You're just telling outright lies about the USSR to justify why you think murdering tens of millions of people during the Cold War wasn't that bad, and why you think America and Britain should have been Axis powers that participated in the Holocaust.
@@HypnoChode74 It's good to know that everyone who says that Hitler wasn't actually that bad just flat out admits that they don't think the Holocaust should be a factor to consider.
Patrons and staff: Occupation!!!
Omar Sharif: I'm an actor.
The incredible is a "black" Omar Sharif , onde of best actor we ever seen, was a Nazi Oficial in a WW2 movie. There were arabs, turks and even black soldier within Nazis. But Oficials i never heard about. How i miss Omar Sharif in movie today.
~150 000 Jews as well served in the German army in WW2, among them high ranking officers like Field Marshal Milch.
Taboo fact that people don't know or refuse to acknowledge
@@AltugOmeroglu Interesting how he didn't see himself as a jew refers to jews as "they"
When the Poles went…here we go again…..😂🤣
Seen this film 30 times..
Peter O Toole was 1 of my favourites along with Omar Sharif
Both played their parts exceptionally..
And I'm sure he did not speak Polish, and none of the people in the Cafe spoke English, so NOTHING he said to them was understood.
Also, I doubt they needed him to explain that the war had been over for 22 years.
Very good observation. I am sure this whole ridiculous story is crap!
@@arslongavitabrevis5136
The story certainly could have happened. I was in Europe 21 yrs after the war ended.
Bombed out buildings everywhere.
No one had forgotten.
My friend, who was very "Aryan" looking. Said he got a much friendlier reception once he had sewn American flags on his jacket, in the Low Countries.
The Poles in the café would probably have understood some words like "film" & "actor" - and some Poles did actually learn English even back then. 😊
@@Bjowolf2
Even if they understand the words film and actor, the trauma of seeing Nazi uniform would have been very real. They all lost family members...sometimes in front of them.
Where is your empathy?
I wouldn't warn anyone
Thanks for the Tidbits about Great film's. As it then highlights the importance of getting the Fact's straight. A long with absolutely getting the Costumes, vehicle's and the personal items, such as badges or Medals correct, for Authentic History n Storyline sake.
So the cafe people missed a whole hollywood production about Germany outside?
I dont think anyone can really comprehend the suffering the people of Warsaw went through during the war
Indeed. Warsaw and Poland as a whole was hell on earth during the Nazi Occupation.
"Ah damnit NOT AGAIN!"
God this was one hell of a movie. It was the first time I saw those red stripes on their pants. Good movie!!!!
This one’s a gem. 😂
"Oh shit, here we go again"😂
He should have invited them to the set as proof.
True story. It can't have been that far away, after all. I mean, I doubt he strolled through half of Warsaw in that outfit. 😂
I don't think they would have followed him
@@billolsen4360not falling for that trick again.
With the knowledge about what happened to those people that went with the Germans, can you imagine what the answer would be to the request to follow them??
What the fūk did he think would happen?
They not only had the Nazis, they had the communists.
I could understand if Poles got PTSD from the occupation, especially children.
I heard of a story where a World War 2 reactor in Pennsylvania was spat on by US ARMY World War 2 Veterans in a McDonald's because he was dressed in a Waffen SS Uniform.
That's ridiculous.
Understandable, the GIs hate SS. Especially after Malmedy.
A film about WW2 was being shot in the Polish town of Toruń in the 1960s. A market square in the old town got a temporary new street sign Adolf H.. Platz. The same happened to adjoining streets. An eldery woman came in the morning, saw the signs and began weeping "oh my god, they are back!".
he got a grasp of what was the impact done by germans to Polish nation… still fresh after 22 years.
"Oh no, the Niemezkies are back! Those well-dressed devils!"
Egyptian guy playing a Nazi, they were very inxlusive back in the day !
El rol de Omar Shariff, era el del mayor Grau quien, por cierto no era un nazi. Sólo un íntegro oficial de la Wehrmacht quien se hizo amigo de un policía francés, en el París ocupado.-
The Germans were allied to the Ottoman Empire in WWI. Territory included much of the middle east, and egypt. They were used to having military types around from those areas. (Still in WWII-era.)
Why the stupid Wonder Woman movie bothered me: The Arab actor acted like he had to pretend to be the mere "driver" of white guests to the German castle. Um...no. He could say he was a middle-eastern fighter, or advisor, or honored guest. And been waved through.
@@KathrynsWorldWildfireTracking Nazis were in WW2 , during WW1 Egypt was already in British empire, since roughly 100 years before , since the Napoleonic wars ! Sorry to burst your bubble !
@@etherospike3936 I didn't say the Ottoman empire owned Egypt in WWI. I said they were allies of the Germans in WWI. Which means, valued. So he doesn't have to be a "servant of a white person." Like the movie shows.
Mentioning Egypt was just an example of the diverse ethnic backgrounds that those in the Ottoman Empire. Not just Turks, but people who can come from all over, Arabs too. I thought the idea of my point came across. That the movie is just acting a bit racist.
Lol casting a swathy Syrian/Lebanese chap from Egypt as a German officer... such historical accuracy. 😂
He should probably have pointed that out, then they would have relaxed a bit more and believed that he was just an actor. Or just said his name is Omar Sharif, that would probably be enough 😉😂😂
Movies are not made to be historically accurate. Movies are made to sell as many tickets as possible.
Holy shit dawg who cares
@@nathans45 clearly you cared enough to make a dumbass reply... some of us like historical accuracy in war films because we ain't stup!d dawg lol.
Well there were arabs and blacks in the freies arabien legion, a branch of foreign fighters of the wehrmacht
I am a German Bavarian decent person I love those German military uniforms, knee high black jack boots, helmets, peak caps, and how they express themselves nothing like today version
Swagggggg
It is never remembered that in the original story, in the book, the psychopathic general is, after the war, a general in the DDR army, not an SS or anything like that, but converted into a communist leader.
proving once again why actors have always been considered fools.
Emotional wounds bleed for an eternity.
"Wtf man why you dressed like that?"
"Ze drip"
Civilian PTSD lest we never forget that horrible war!
"HAND OVER THE COFFEE NOW!"
All my love to Poland and her very awesome people from Germany ❤️ 🇵🇱
Well I think the shock was Omar Shariff is not exactly resemblance an Germanic Aryan to be wearing that uniform
A kid:grandpa what's wrong?
Grandpa:oh hell NAW!!!
They automatically surrendered
The Poles literally fought the Germans to a halt several times during the fighting
@@HobbiesGamesChillin um yeah
We (poles) are not French to surrender
People in the Western world aged up into their late 50s have no idea what that sort of horror feels like. We are so very pampered & don't even know it.
I get the same reaction when I wear mine into cafes
😂
I'd be more worried about the cafe were that doesn't get a bad reaction
War trauma runs deep... I was a war refugee over 30 years ago, got through it without any PTSD and my whole family survived, but it's still hard for me to tell about my experience and it's not something I hide, I just don't ever choose to go there... Only 3 people in all these years heard my entire war story... one is my husband and my 2 best friends. Well, they showed interest and I had nothing to hide. My dad endured a lot, but becides some fun anecdotes that would pop up on some sporadic occasions, he never went there or talked about bad stuff...
that was a nice TIGER 1 replica.. it almost looked like one except for the sideskirts.. they should have removed it..
Those are from different tiger 1, tiger II, Panthers and Panzer IVs. Their meant to prevent magnetic bombs from sticking on their tank, despite no other coubtries but Germany use them
Look up the Tiger H and you'll what im saying. Its interesting
If a war-film is being shot in town - everyone gets to know about it !!
DUDEEEEE
Give this poor gentleman a cup of coffee or you will face the wrath of the Panzer Division!
The year was 1967, so he could have said he was a hippie who liked wearing army coats just like they did in America and England.
And the hat, and trousers and boots and epaulettes, too. Yeah. I don't think so.
Why the fuckin coat ?
I am cold 🥶
@@alexandrelarsac9115😂❤😂❤
I can't even imagine the shock 🤯...the time that has passed is irrelevant... when those memories come flooding back...
Poland never forgives, Poland never forgets.
buwt we arwe sawry :( UwU
I bet ... LOL !
I hope Poland never forgets being abandoned
@@Bernacide Ah, do you ... 😆
Yah i wouldn't drink the coffee after that 😂😂😂😂
Lest they accidentally collaborate again >___>;
I find it trippy they didn't know a movie was being filmed nearby with world renowned actors!
Look at what the desert did to poor Lawrence.
Excellent performance by both actors, and also the British actor who was made scapegoat, Mr Courtney.
How are you not aware that a major movie with hundreds of actors, support crews, props of all kinds is being filmed in your small town?
If this is a true story ... what a wildly unconscious thing for Sharif to pull.
SAOZ, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
I heard they saluted him.
They had PTSD ,
Maybe
@@carlgreisheimer8701
Not maybe. Is for sure.
I was in Europe 21 yrs after the war.
No one had forgotten .
Because nobody in that cafe had heard that Hollywood had come to their town to film, filled the hotels, and had loads of excited school kids trying to catch a glimpse of filming. None of them. Nobody had talked about it, not the local councillors, not the local police, not the local electricians, caterers… nobody.
They hadn’t noticed the extras on motorbikes, the huge tanks rolling past…
And Omar picked the cafe furthest from set?
I doubt it.
My grandma was one of them in the café
She told me the story
Seeing this on shorts now is kinda funny
That’s heartbreaking for the people in the cafe and the actor!
Just imagine if they all put their hands up and said the coffee is on the house 😮
Good movie The Night of the Generals. Great Performances by Peter and Omar. Humorous and frightening behind the scenes story. 🤩
In Poland of all places. That uniform carries bitter memories. Lucky he didn't get lynched.
22 years after the war he was lucky he made it out of there alive.
One of the best movie ever made. Very intelligent film.
Did the people in the cafe not know a movie was being filmed? I call bs
O’Toole and Sherif becoming German officers after taking down the Ottoman Empire in 1918 is crazy
TE Lawrence???
Indeed, he was T.E. Lawrence. In this film Peter O'Toole plays the role of General Tanz.
_NOTHING is WRITTEN...unless Peter O'Toole, writes it!_
The Poles have always learnt from their past and whatever it takes to demonstrate the lessons learnt they will demonstrate it. And that is precisely why their immigration policy with regards to people from the Middle-East is what it is. Now, that's a great nation right there!!
