Maybe that's why it took the Russian army 4 years to go the same distance you can drive in less than a day. They were busy raping and pillaging instead of fighting.
The red army were quite unforgiving towards those nations who invaded Russia alongside the Wehrmacht and who caused the horrific and needless deaths of Russian civilians....Hungary and Romania in particular.......
Tito of Yugoslavia sent a delegation to Stalin to demand he put an end to this behaviour. Stalin apparently replied that local women were the just reward for troops who had been through the campaigns.
My aunt was assaulted by Russian soldiers. One can't be sure if that's what did it, but she was mean-crazy her whole life. Aggressive and short tempered. Ruined my cousins' lives. She's still alive and still mean as ever. Some people come out of trauma with sympathy and some just build walls forever.
Hes not allowed under youtube rules to say certain words such as rape, sexual assualt. He wasnt trying to suger coat these horrifying crimes but had he used the rape in his video youtube would remove the video.
@@Jj.leenard UA-cam doesn't even want the motorcycle channels that are monetized to show minor accidents with no injury uncensored now. It's getting out of hand this nanny bullshit.
My parents were friends with a German lady. Her experience of what she saw and had to deal with was so traumatic that she swore that she would never bring children into this world.
This brutality can not be reduced to the Axis and Russian armies! I knew a German woman from the American sector after WW2, who was abused by 5 American soldiers for hours. I found it out, because working as a nurse, I asked about a date tattooed on the inside of her upper left tigh. She told me about the rape at her age of 16 and that the soldiers tattooed the date of the rape on her tigh, for that she should remember it her whole life. She did. She was mentally broken and never had a retationship beside to a teddybear from that time, that helped her to survive until she died at the age of 78. "Im amerikanisch besetzten Bayern kam es nach dem Einmarsch zu zahlreichen Fällen von sexueller Gewalt.[53] Die Historikerin Miriam Gebhardt verweist auf 540 Einmarschberichte der katholischen Pfarrer der Erzdiözese München-Freising. Diese Berichte belegen drastisch, dass 1945 in fast jedem Dorf Vergewaltigungen stattfanden." (The historian Miriam Gebhard tells, that in the American Sector Bavaria a lot of cases of sexual abuse by Americans happened, a study based on reports of catholic priests: In almost every bavarian villiage cases of abuse took place.) And I have a lot of former Yugoslavian female colleagues, that are still traumatized by what happened during the Balkan war... . This is an endless horrific story of mankind.
Personally...The Original Female was the chosen steward... The Male raped and blamed her...Assumed the job with force. The Man is absurdly unqualified and unsatisfactorily performing that 'Duty'. Earth knows- but UA-cam has no clue.
There is one real difference, which makes no difference to the victims, but the crimes committed by allied troops were not state sanctioned unlike those committed by the Russian state.
Sounds like bull shit , If any complaint had been made to an American officer a full investigation would have ensued and it would be Public Record as well as military record. The men responsible would have been tried and imprisoned. I know this because unlike the Russians and the Germans , 90% of American soldiers were Christians. In a military group nothing happens that is not widely known quickly. I am sure their were crimes of Americans who raped in WW2 because their is record but finding five non Christian American criminal soldiers all willing to rape is a fantasy , I spent 25 years a Christian in U.S. military service.
If you read Hartmann's book "Blonde Knight of Germany" he writes about his squadron surrendering to the Red Army. With the pilots and the ground crew were their wives and families. Of course the Soviets helped themselves to some raping. The next day the Soviet area commander arrived and said that all assaults would stop and any further assaults would be punished. Of course they continued and the commander asked all of the assaulted women to step forward. They did and he lined up all of his men and asked the women to identify the culprits. They were pointed out, gallows were constructed and the offenders hanged in front of their fellows.
@@balancedactguy So they know how it feels to have your women raped and killed before your eyes or the eyes of her children and then they do it themselves thats even Worse.
The ability of us all to be a monster is the right circumstances given to the right person. People who become hateful towards others because of trauma is not anything good.
Vielen Dank an die sowjetischen Soldaten für die Befreiung aller Lager und die Befreiung der Welt vom Nationalsozialismus! Obwohl jetzt die Nazis in der Ukraine wiederbelebt sind
The author is just scum. in Belarus during the Second World War, the Germans laid out Soviet children on the road and crushed them with tanks, and other Germans laughed... they burned entire villages, buried alive mothers and children, shot entire villages! 20 million civilians were killed by the Nazis
An elderly German friend of mine born in 1936 told me about what happened to his mother...1945 near the Oder River...Soviet soldiers took her away from her family for days...they did not kill her and brought her back to her children....but she endured the worst. When he talks about the war... and his mother... he sobs.
I met an old German lady from Berlin in the Tyneside Irish club in 1998. She was 15 in 1945. She said the fighting was hellish, every female was raped. Many were multiple raped, many were murdered. Western Alies raped too. My Father new a German women living in Gateshead in 1980s. She had fled the Russians advance in East, to Western Germany, only to be raped by 4 Canadian soldiers at wars end. She was 16 at the time.
Can you blame the Soviets? I am also 100% against communism, but after what the Germans did to their country, one can only understand they were out for blood.
Moral of the story: pragmatically, if war is headed your way and you’re a civilian, gtfo asap. What’s approaching could be significantly worse than losing most of your stuff.😢
If you have a place to go to. Germans in 1945 had nowhere to go, both West and East they were hunted. I think if German civilians ran to Netherland they'd be butchered too.
@@shonix123 You couldn't go to Argentina easily. That's why only the connected Nazis with lots of money went there. 99.9% of Germans stayed in Germany and rebuilt the country into what it is today, a powerhouse. Most of the Germans in South America came way before in 19th century and before.
There is no worse mentality regarding war, than the idea that the innocent should suffer because other innocents also suffered. No understanding of the word.
That is for sure. The horrid acts against innocent German women were without excuse, although the Russian troops had good reason to be angry with the Germans for attacking the Soviet Union.
German women where not innocent. Thay where part of Nazi regime Thay did nothing or where proponents of sending Jude childrem in concentration camps. Thomas Mann was innocent
Truth be told however, no matter what the Russians did, they were numerically nothing to what the Germans did against Russians and especially in Poland and the Balkans(in the last one they never even paid for reparations).
No video = no proof. Europeans are good at telling stories, and wow what great timing to release this crap.... Women should not be mis-treated, however you all are programmed robots if you believe these stories with no proof.
Nothing wrong with us. Actually, it's you in the wrong. We are from Eastern Europe and know Russians well, served with them.. And our grandfathers fought with the Russian forces in ww2, in Berlin..we have the memories of our grandfathers and their daily records from that time. It's people like you, that spread rubbish and Propaganda.. And people like you spread the lies about Russia in Ukraine..the Russian and Slavic spiritual land. Get some Truth, from the real history books, not from the Propaganda against the Russian people. Grow up.. it's about time.. long overdue. Billions around the world can see now, the truth about western propaganda always against Russia and the Soviet Union.
@@TomasFunes-rt8rd Interestingly, research shows that after June 1944, 33% of the Soviet Red Army consisted of Ukrainians, and most of them were on the Ukrainian front in the south, not the central at Berlin. So, what the hell is wrong with you?
People who degrade the Soviet Union and the Red Army are pure Evil..either totally ignorant, or totally brainwashed by shocking anti Soviet and anti Russian hate, since the people's October 1917 Revolution. Western rulers, the Capitalists, are still doing it today. Posting these manufactured videos is shameless. And here we see other foreigners who don't even know that Belorussians and Ukrainians are Russians..pure and simple, they are all Russians. Stop this total madness. Think about your own country, and how it doesn't mesure when compared to Russia. Russians and the Soviets gave the US world freedom from oppression, freedom from Nazi Germany. The west is now trying to reintroduce Nazism..And that is the lowest act possible...after all the terrible crimes the Nazis performed...and we must never forget the terrible crimes all western countries served to so many people around the world. You should hold your head in your total shame.
@@TomasFunes-rt8rd What rubbish you talk. My extended family had many serving in the Red Army..There never was a difference between our people..we were always and all Russian. Stop talking this nonsense from so far away, from so much Propaganda rubbish.
British soldiers could be just as bad, my father served in india duing ww2 and remembers soldiers kidnapping an Indian girl on a train station abusing her in a carriage as the journey commenced ,eventually when they grew tired of her they threw her off the train, the sounds of her screams haunted him long after the war.

My mother in law suffered through terrible things in Germany during this time. She was German. She and her family were starved. She was raped repeatedly and was burned with cigarettes. The abuse was shocking.
Millions soviet women died in this war. Similar atrocities happened in many European countries were the men were fighting in the mountains and the women and children stayed behind. Its always the women that pay the price of the brutality. My country (not Russia) suffered deeply by the German invasion, atrocities on women and children, war crimes, genocides, mass graves. 5 years long. Imagine having 5 years in your house someone who makes your life a living hell. Soviet Russia suffered much more, took 90% of the brutality of Hitler. But again, two wrongs cant make a right. Vengeance on civilians is never justified.
My grandmother was a victim of these days. Raped and killed by red army soldiers during the very last days of the war. 🫣 Actually i watch these kind of videos to possibly see a picture of her with my father (5) and his sister (3). I guess i would recognize the three of them.
@@andymatthews7617 "I hope russia gets its come uppance." My great-grandmother was raped by the Germans, the next day she hanged herself, her husband (my great-grandfather) and his friend reached Berlin 1945. The Nazis cut off the ears of my great-grandfather's friend's children in front of his wife so that she would betray the partisans' location, and then they killed her , one child survived. ( Are you happy? )
The Germans and Ukraine are Nazi countries that made soap from the inhabitants of Poland, from their skin, from your ancestors, the Germans made soap! and Ukrainians killed 200 thousand Poles a month. and now in Ukraine they walk around with posters of Nazi generals and worship them. Thanks to the USSR and Russia for fighting this!
Maybe we had our hands full? One small country trying to save the world? A more pertinent question might be why did USA refuse to help for many years till forced into it by Pearl Harbour? You're aware British civilians (women and children) were literally almost starving to death after about 18 months? Yes, I have a Polish friend, I know of the horror.. I am simply asking why Britain is always responsible for *everyone through no fault of our own country? Go blame Russia and Germany.
Yeah, they went through all that and made all those sacrifices to protect Poland's sovereignty and at the end of the war Poland was completely under the boot of the Soviet Union and both Britain and France were shadows of what they once were. The US and Russia won World War 2. Everyone else lost.
My mother was born in 1935 & lived in South Eastern Germany. She told me that her parents (my Grandparents) were VERY worried about the Russians, and were worried for her safety. To the point that they even planed to take her (and her younger sister) to the Swiz border which was only 120 miles away. Thankfully the area was "liberated" by the Americans, so she was OK
Привет из Беларуси, Минск . Мне 48 лет , мой дом стоял на месте бывшего немецкого штаба оккупированного Минска , часто находили ржавые немецкие каски в огороде , остатки колючей проволоки. Моя бабушка была взята в Германию ее труд эксплуатировали немцы , дед был партизаном в белорусских лесах, голод и холод покалечили его здоровье, он умер рано от рака желудка . Я никогда не видела его в живых только фотографии . Все это отразилось и отражается на моей психике , мне снятся сны что я погибаю в поле боя и просыпаюсь в холодном поту . Не смей слышишь не смей жаловаться на свою жизнь и тем более на русских советских солдатов! Беларусов во время второй мировой войны немецкие солдаты заживо жгли в своих домах целыми семьями , тысячи и десятки миллионов семей разрушены , и замучены в голоде пытках , убиты немецкими садистами маньяками , тысячи искалеченных детей из которых выкачивали кровь и над которыми ставили медицинские изуверские эксперименты , отрезали руки и ноги , делали операции без анастезии и прочие зверства от которых кровь станет в жилах ! Вопрос : " ты здесь кому жалуешься ?! " Ты здесь у кого ищешь сочувствия тебе лично ?! Ты хочешь чтобы тебя пожалели ?! Я правильно понимаю ты хочешь осудить русских солдат и обелить и оправдать Адольфа Гитлера ?! Я правильно тебя понимаю ?! Редко даю советы , но я настоятельно тебе рекомендую остановиться и не писать жалобы на советских солдат , которые освободили весь мир от лукавого демона и слуги дьявола Адольфа Гитлера, не к ночи будет упомянут, СПАСИ и помилуй Господь Всемогущий да будет предано забвению имя его и Бог ему судья . Настоятельно рекомендую прекрати жаловаться ☝️
So were they Nazis? Did they support Hitler? Did they care if any of their Jewish neighbors were hauled away and put in camps? I really don't have much empathy for Germans who supported Hitler.
Some of this is told in The tin drum. Some of this also happened in Vietnam and Iraq. It doesn't matter if they are Russians, American or Israelites: they are all human beings and nothing is worse than that (as Mark Twain said when asked about the different races).
true. The Vietnamese still hold a lot of hatred for what Koreans did to them. Australian soldiers supposedly called American soldiers "baby killers" behind their backs after watching what American soldiers did in Vietnam.
All inhumane acts in war should have been punished but were not. I hope that the atrocities committed by the Soviet in Germany and Eastern Europe will also be remembered as war crimes.
i don't think anyone called the occupation of Berlin a liberation. and as horrific as the occupation was for these women, it would never have happened if they hadn't allowed Hitler and all the other fascists to get their greasy little selves in government.
For all the glory they get as "heroines", I have yet to read one story where female Soviet soldiers attempted to intervene and stop their male counterparts from engaging in these monstrous crimes against fellow women. Perhaps there are a few cases where they did and I haven't heard about it, but it seems a vast majority of them simply looked the other way or shrugged it off. There are no adequate words to describe how evil that is.
I watched a Red Army soldier tell a Tory if two very young teen girls that were trying to get through the Soviet camp at early day light. He stated that he tried to get them to go back from where they came from fast. They didn’t understand and continued forward. Both were caught and raped to death by over 20 men. Both girls were around the age of 11-14 years old. There are the brutalities of war then there are things like this that go way above and beyond.
Let me make sure I understand this... you were personally in Germany in 1945 and witnessed this, making you what... at least 87 years old, assuming you were only 10 yourself at the time? Or are you a 97 year old former soldier? Or are you, like 99.999% of these comments on UA-cam, making it up?
@@cycloneranger7927 I watched it on a documentary about 6 months back. The Russian soldier was old. No where in my post did I say I witnessed this. My Grandfather was a combat engineer in WWII, I’m 45 years old.
Hanelore Kohl, the Bundeskanzlers' wife, was thirteen when the Russian Army overtook her fleeing refugee group. A horrific story, long held out of the media until Kohl was out of office. The poor woman was visibly marked by the incident.
My german friend told me horror stories he heard.. mostly about women and little girls being killed while being raped, head smashed, strangled or throat cut..
My neighbour growing up escaped Hungary as a young teenager. She remembered the Russians coming to her town. She was about eight. She said they hide in a swamp while a battle raged for several days. Her and her brothers began to return to their town, when German soldiers who were retreating, demanded her brother’s clothing at gun point. The German soldiers were terrified of the Russian women who were often placed at the front line because of their extraordinary barbarity. When they finally reached their town, she was taken to a loft with all the young girls and women to hide from the incoming Russians. Several older women 40+ in age sacrificed themselves to rape. She remembers hearing footsteps coming up the entryway to the loft. They would stop just before the hatch and retreat down the steps. She remembers being told later that the Russians would not lift the hatch to any loft because they knew that in Russia the women would be waiting with pitchforks to spear the Germans when they would lift a hatch. They stayed there for several days until the third or fourth wave of Russians advanced. She said these were the administrative waves that were less beastial and somewhat civilized. I remember her telling me about the terror she faced. I was young when she told me this story, but I always wondered if in most wars, the first wave of any advancing army is almost always largely made up of those released from prisons and lunatic asylums. I later found out that solders from my country🇨🇦 had a reputation of being very civilized when they liberated anyone in WW2. Many people from those countries immigrated to 🇨🇦 and shared these stories of decency. It makes me proud…Mrs. Ganz had a very difficult childhood. Her mother died when she was three and her father went away to fight. It was 1940. She was left with aunts who were religious zealots who treated her as a slave. She would have to kneel for hours saying the rosary for anything she didn’t do correctly. Her father was killed on one of the very last days of the war. She remained with those aunts until her brothers were able to establish themselves in Austria. She remembers meeting up with smugglers one night who met up with several other groups trying to leave Hungary. She was only fifteen when she had to crawl through minefields. She remembers several mines going off as she crawled under the wire. Her life here was good, but she was always treated as a servant by all members of her and her husbands families whenever they would visit. I loved Rosie ❤…She was funny when on the phone because she could speak five languages and would use them all in one phone call…I know this is a long post, but I owe it to her to tell her story. She died alone and forgotten by the member of her family she loved to most. He is a narcissistic fuck who has to live with the fact that he did nothing to help her if it was not going to be beneficial to him. He stole money and weaselled his way into being a co-executer of her substantial investments her husband left her…And I used to call him a friend…Her story needs to be told because that generation of people who have memories of the war are dying and their stories will die with them.
Maybe you will also regret Soviet women ? The Germans killed 15 million civilians of the USSR . Only 60,000 villages were burned, many of them together with the residents living there.
@@АлександрДухин-р3ц there was terrible atrocities on both sides , such hatred was terrible , war is terrible , peace is the best and will always be the best way to heaven
@@handeyecoordinationskills Thank you for your words , but the difference is that the attitude of the governments to this issue was different . Hitler's parting words to the Wehrmacht sounded like this : My soldiers , you are going to the east , where the laws of chivalry should not work , where the laws of war do not work, I am freeing you from morality , morality is a public girl of the bourgeoisie. The words of the head of the USSR Stalin Joseph Vissarionovich from the Order of February 23, 1942 No. 55, congratulated the military and partisans on the 24th anniversary of the Red Army: "Sometimes they talk in the foreign press that the Red Army has as its goal to exterminate the German people and destroy the German state. This, of course, is stupid nonsense and an unwise slander against the Red Army. The Red Army does not and cannot have such idiotic goals. The Red Army aims to expel the German occupiers from our country and liberate the Soviet land from the Nazi invaders. It is very likely that the war for the liberation of the Soviet land will lead to the expulsion or destruction of the Hitler clique. We would welcome such an outcome. But it would be ridiculous to identify Hitler's clique with the German people, with the German state. The experience of history says that the Hitlers come and go, but the German people, and the German state remains. Finally, the strength of the Red Army consists in the fact that it does not and cannot have racial hatred towards other peoples, including the German people, that it has been brought up in the spirit of equality of all peoples and races, in the spirit of respect for the rights of other peoples. The racial theory of the Germans and the practice of racial hatred led to the fact that all freedom-loving peoples became enemies of fascist Germany. The theory of racial equality in the USSR and the practice of respect for the rights of other peoples led to the fact that all freedom-loving peoples became friends of the Soviet Union. This is the strength of the Red Army. This is also the weakness of the German Fascist army.
@@АлександрДухин-р3ц You will see that over time the West forgets about that as they glorify the Germans more, now that Germans are not central but Western. I see lots of comments about how the Germans were right (referring to Russians as Orcs for the Ukraine conflict) and how it is a a shame all the good German WW2 veterans are gone as they could teach the Ukrainians how to deal with the Russians
An excellent video again, OP - this is the side of WW2 that nobody (except you) ever makes documentaries about and is another example of selective history!
Dude thinks nobody makes documentaries about the Battle of Berlin while actually ignoring the history of civilians in Eastern Europe leading up to Germany’s own land and blood.
The report is true, but, the details of what was done to the groups of captured German, female soldiers was omitted, because it is too cruel to mention.

No they didn't, but on the flip side, a whole lot of women voted Hitler into pwoer because he was very charismatic and they were swept up with him and men in military uniforms. It's one fo the reasons Hitler didn't let on he had a girlfriend and said he was married to Germany... so as not to lose the women vote which was substantial to him coming into power. Half my family is German and I'm hoping they were in the Western side under the Allies becuse I've never heard them talk about any of this... so... I think they escaped it for the most part. What they didn't escape was the years of food shortages and shortages of everything and poverty for years to come. My granfather took to hunting dear and they probably thinned out their food and extended it with stuff like sawdust or something else... lots of potatoes I'm sure.
@@choppergirl No women voted hitler into power. In fact nobody voted hitler into power. He was appointed chancellor by hindenburg, who died not long afterwards of natural causes, at which point hitler illegally combined the offices of president and chancellor and the reichstag went along with it, despite the fact that by law he was supposed to call for a presidential election on hindenburgs death
@@JS-wp4gs A plebiscite vote was held on August 19. Intimidation, and fear of the communists, brought Hitler a 90 percent majority. He was now, for all intents and purposes, dictator. You can't get to 90% without a majority of women voting for Hitler.

my mother, born in 1933 experienced and survived exactly this final battle for Berlin in the age of 12 years, she did not tell me much, but what she told me as whitness was horrific, in addition she in general was not allowed to seek shelter in bunkers or other facilities, because her "producer" was russian, so she was marked as "enemy blooded"
@@aagg6433 I see it as two possible ways first, she had no idea of the "side atrocities" of the Nazis, that they weren't just "invading foreign countries and conquering them", you know there's all the other stuff that goes along with it, and then the atrocities that went along with the "invading and conquering". Such as the raping involved with 'invading and conquering". Both on land and at sea, associated with every troop-movement, every battle. Second, she didn't really know anything about the "extermination", the "ethnic cleansing", the enslavement, "forced labor" and the "death-camps" parts. All of which involved Nazis picking-off, exploiting and then shooting women, possibly some men and children also, for their personal pleasure. And their collaborators, who weren't officially Nazis, might even have been foreigners. But they were all happy and willing to exploit the chaos created by the Nazis. And that certainly included some right at home in Berlin. Certainly even in her own small little town. Not saying that all the Germans were rapists, or even that all the rapists were German. But without a doubt they were the engine behind all the raping. If they hadn't, you know, started the war and conquered so much territory, then this woman might have a leg to stand on when it comes to complaining about foreigners taking over Germany and raping the women. Instead of realizing that it's just part of the process of losing the war. I'm sure that they ran around screaming that it was !!!!! illegal !!!!! for their women to get raped by foreign soldiers. Funny how criminals turn to the law for protection from the consequences of their own actions. They know how little hope there is for them to use, you know, "right and wrong" or some other moral concern as a defense. I'm surprised that it wasn't an actual law in the Soviet military handbook that said "there shall be no tolerance for women of the vanquished party, who opposed the Soviet military in open combat and who attacked the Soviet people, who then complain about getting raped. None whatsoever. Especially when their military has raped its way halfway across the USSR and raped its way back out of the USSR...all while justifying the torture, raping and killing of Soviet citizens by the fact that they weren't good little Nazi collaborators".
...did you know that Nazi commanders often demanded a tribute from the towns in their command-area, to avoid either leveling or burning the town and exploiting all of the civilians, or just burning the ghettoes and exploiting the surviving Jews? In one instance the Nazi commander demanded 56 kg of golf plus some large amount of local currency. Your people were no better than the Vikings, the Mongols or any number of marauding tribesmen, invaders and pirates of various European countries throughout history. They just did it in 1940 instead of 1240 or even 1640. You should thank the Americans and Soviets for only *raping* German women and not carting them off to be sold as slaves in Istanbul. Which is usually what would happen. And trust me, your men did a hell of a lot worse than that in all the territory and to all the people they captured between Austria and Moscow. And they literally turned on and slaughtered the Italians who had changed sides during the war, on the mere basis of calling them traitors. Not the Italian leadership who actually negotiated the truce with the Allies and signed the truce in secret, releasing the information from the top down. The Italian soldiers who were out in the field who had no idea what was going on, had no orders for what to do after the truce was signed, they were completely blindsided by what happened. This did not matter to the Nazis. They rounded them all up whenever possible and shot them as traitors. Surprisingly this drove the surviving Italians to join the local partisans in open warfare against the Nazis who then occupied and fortified their country against the Allies with whom the Italians had just signed a peace treaty. The Italias, not to mention the Italian Jews, were then caught in the middle between the invading and advancing Allied forces and the retreating Nazi forces. You honestly thought the Nazis gave a rats' ass about raping, torturing and killing any civilians who got in their sights? Do you think that they cared about any appeals for clemency or leniency from the locals? I'm sure tl of the German people thought that their government would carry-out this "world conquest" in a polite, peaceful and respectful manner, with no raping or pillaging involved whatsoever.
@@aagg6433 it's funny how people complain about getting abused when they are the ones getting abused and there's nothing they can do to stop it, but when it's other people getting abused they just ignore it or claim that it's deserved and they are happy to be friends with and even support the abusers & criticize the victims. It's like, what else can they do but run their mouths.
I'm not sure how inflicting cruelty on innocent German women makes any sense as an act of revenge. Doesn't that simply beget another act of revenge against yourself for doing precisely what you were fighting against in the first place? Absolute madness.
This is war, not to justify things, but to explain them. Why don't you ask the same questions about the innocent Russian women, POW starved to death, children, slave labourers from the USSR killed by the Germans? Yo don't ask this question, do you?

On 7/1/45 the Soviets came to my hometown after US troops "liberated" the town and British were there for two weeks. A Soviet officer family confiscated my grandmother's parents' house. At some point they found her school report card with a swastika stamp. "That caused trouble"... she once said to me. Physically, however, they remained unharmed.
...thank God for the last part, and I'd guess it was ONLY because the Soviet officer took over their house! That bolshevik bastard was a God-send in disguise, Russian officers were expected to be feared by their men worse than by their enemies.
so many stories just like this one, all from new, blank accounts. And they always pop up with thse stories right after a video like this one gets posted. it's almost as if neo-Nazis are creating fake troll accounts to flood UA-cam with bullshit accounts about events that never happened.
My aunt was amongst the Berlin victims of the Russians. She survived but was scarred for the remainder of her life. The Russians were barbarians and remain so--witness the atrocities committed in Bucha, Ukraine.
Bucha is a fake, just like the same video, where "a soviet soldier" take a bicycle from a german woman. This is not true because the soldier's clothing doesn' t correspond to reality.
@@ДаниилВасильев-э8п The best thing to remember in discussions like this - of groups or nations - is that people are individuals, not groups, and they vary infinitely in their participation and approval of whatever their groups did or didn't do. There were honorable and dishonorable people on both sides, some more than others of course, and not all of them participated or approved of what their fellow nationals did. They also had little to no control over what anyone else did. To blame whole groups for what some did, is to BE the very evil you say you hate. Because that is THE mentality of those who took revenge on people who likely had nothing to do with the war. If your country goes to war, how much control do you have over that? Your choices are then to stand with your country, oppose it, or be neutral. If you're neutral or oppose that war, you may be blamed by the enemy regardless, just as much as anyone else. And all because of that mentality of seeing people as groups. NO ONE IS A GROUP. Every individual stands alone in their disposition toward evil.
Afraid it does to this day. I remember the news reports of the rape camps in the Bosnian war. Wondering how could this be going on in the 1990's. Then it all happened again the war in Kosovo.. Now it is going on 30 years later in Ukraine. I cannot see how people in the 21st century still have 16th century attitudes. Here is a video of a Russian soldier telling of one of his experiences in the war: ua-cam.com/video/5Ywe5pFT928/v-deo.html&ab_channel=OttoM%C3%BCller
Now, in light of what Russia did lately, we can all of a sudden talk about the atrocities Russians committed in WW2? That has never been possible before.
Many people on YT are cashing in on the Ukraine conflict, suddenly putting out multiple videos every day. Clickbait crap most of it. And stories like this which paint Russians up as somehow less than human are everywhere right now. Got to de-humanize "the enemy"
The rapes and killings committed by Russian troops are well documented and publicized. Same goes for japanese occupying troops in China and Indonesia. Its not because it appears in your feed today on youtube that this is news
@@Sashulya The irony of using WWII and the Berlin story (no matter how much of it is true) to slanger Russians as people, is that many of those soldiers were from Ukraine. About half of them were Russians, and even those who were, many would have Ukrainian ancestry.

so many stories just like this one, all from new, blank accounts. Always a neighbour, an aunt, or someone close but not too close to them. And they always pop up with thse stories right after a video like this one gets posted. it's almost as if neo-Nazis are creating fake troll accounts to flood UA-cam with bullshit accounts about events that never happened.
Back in the nineties I used to talk regularly with an elderly German woman who was around 22 at the end of ww2. She hated the Americans with a passion, she told me of a young women taken to a pub, which was dry and raped. By 1948 german citizens and British soldiers were allowed to mix. She met a British soldier, married and moved to England. She said the British troops were alright.
@@sanders7789nobody is claiming that.The crimes of the germans are well known and talked about. But there are also innocent people among them, who suffered the most same goes for any other country.
Its strange that the title talks of "Horrific Torture" yet makes no mention of it in the video but refers to vicious rapes as just "assaults" strange observations.

My Uncle was a US soldier and he rmembered witnessing Soviet soldiers purposely running over German children with tanks...He could never get over that..He said the French and then many of the German civilians were kind to him..US soldiers would go in and take German possessions but he told my grandfather the only thing he would take was socks for his feet..He said the Red Army soldiers they would yank vanities and toilets out and sit in the floor and drink..If we are going to elect politicians and they send the boys to war..It sure needs to be a good and honest reason..And when they get back the government needs to do everything humanly possible for their healthcare and the treatment of those severe traumas.. Because we are the ones that sent them there..
I heard that now so called US killed native Americans and BISONS are instinct like NATIVE "Americans"and that later in modern history that many black women was raped by that "Americans" and that black people was hated like jews in that good Nazi Germany.I would say that this channel is objective.Especialy now days 🤧🤣🤣🤣🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🤣😂😂😂Go PROPAGANDA 🤣✌️🍆😬🤣
@@deanodog3667 Purposely running over children with tanks? It could be allowed under the law of armed conflict. For instance, Iraqi terrorist insurgents would send children out in front of US convoys in an attempt to halt them and then launch an ambush. Because of this, US convoy drivers couldn't stop, so those kids would get run down and killed. "Lawful but awful."
Before judging them as "communist crimes", look at what the Germans did to the 27 million Soviet victims during the invasion of the USSR! Also look at how many women have been raped by American soldiers in the European countries they "liberated"!

Of course, there is no excuse for soldiers raping civilians in war. The question is, why, upon examining war rape, are the Germans singled out as the victims, and Soviets the perpetrators? German soldiers never raped any Soviet women when they invaded their way to the gate of Moscow? If the video concerns itself with the international tragedy of war-rape throughout WWII, and reflects on the transcending human sufferings, I'd give it two thumbs up - in that case focusing on cases where perpetrators were Soviet soldiers is not a deviation from objectivity, since by all accounts Soviet soldiers did rape German women in millions. However, the video doesn't go for that direction. It excludes any mentions of war-rape inflicted upon millions of Soviet women by German soldiers, and unapologetically drums up a narrative of the Soviets exclusively being the soulless devils and Germans exclusively being the innocent victims. Such nationality-exclusivity bumps hypocrisy to a disgusting level. Even North Korean propaganda has more subtlety.
It defies me how Hitler's generals let him have his way, when they knew his strategy was no good. As soon as D-Day was over it should've been clear that they'd lost. The German army could've retreated from France and put up all their efforts on the Eastern Front, and then the Americans would've pushed beyond Berlin. It would've saved us from 45 years of Communism. Even when Berlin was surrounded, Hitler was ordering the army stretched thin, when his generals wanted to put everything into keeping the Soviets out.
He forced them to swear an oath of loyalty to him which they took seriously. When many of them finally rebelled in 1944 , just after D-Day, you saw what happened to the coup plotters as too many others stayed loyal.
RIght. Although, he made the expressing of dissenting opinions very risky, a German general would have to have been an unusually competent human and would have found ways to show him how bad the situation was. But it didn't happen. I guess, some of them tried eventually.
My mother, her sister, her brother and my grandma were in Halberstadt when the Russians came and the Americans withdrew. My uncle was sick with diphtheria at the time and in the hospital, getting better because of the penicillin and care he had received from the Americans. After the Russians took over, he starved and died of hunger and thirst, since the Russians did nothing for Germans. I shudder to think about what my grandma and her daughters had to go through. They never talked about that time, but after my grandpa had been reunited with them and twice arrested by the NKWD, they fled to West Germany. The NKWD had told my grandpa that if they would have to arrest him a third time, nobody would see him again.
I met a woman once that lived through that and 40 years later, living in the US, was/is? still talking about having been assaulted by a soldier for chocolate (she didn't know what accepting it indicated at the time) as if it had recently just occured and that was a mild incident.
Glad more are learning about crimes committed by all sides, the rape of Berlin, the fire bombing of Dresden. Also see the red cross’s report on the concentration camps, after all they were the one independent group who had access to all of them to inspect for crime against humanity. If you want to go deeper as to why ww2 even started go back to the Russian revolution to understand ww1 then ww2, as napoleon once said “history is merely a fable made up by the victors” I guess he was right.
None of the Nazis or Ukraine remembers how the United States and England bombed peaceful Dresden or Cologne. a million peaceful lives were taken away... but everyone is silent about it, democracy!
The author is just scum. in Belarus during the Second World War, the Germans laid out Soviet children on the road and crushed them with tanks, and other Germans laughed... they burned entire villages, buried alive mothers and children, shot entire villages! 20 million civilians were killed by the Nazis
I highly recommend a German made movie entitled " A Woman In Berlin " a true story , based on an International best seller that underscores the depths of depravity in War and the necessary altruistic desperation created for survival .
Apparently a controversial movie in Germany because the general thought was that no German woman, under any circumstances, would do what she did. I can't quite remember the story now, but I think she became genuinely involved with a Russian officer.
The wholesale gang rape of German women was encouraged by the Communist commissars. Women under British and American occupation didn't fare much better. German soldiers in occupied territories upheld civil standards and probably didn't need to rape the locals.
@@wadedavies3924 .... with all due respect , the atrocities committed by nazis during Operation Barbarossa is well documented . As a result , the retribution was made personal with the occupation of Germany . If you're attempting to imply the nazis paid strict adherence to civility is categorically false .
I recall reading that the Western Allies had every chance to reach Berlin first and that Churchill insisted that they push forward so as to prevent the Russians from occupying the city, but that for some reason the American commander Eisenhower made sure that the Russians could reach Berlin first.
No, that decision was made at Yalta; Eisenhower had nothing to do with it.. Stalin claimed that right, especially since the US casualties were insignificant compared to Red Army losses against the Nazis. 7 out of 10 Axis soldiers were engaged by the Red Army. The US lost a total of 440,000 men in WWII. The Red Army lost 1.1 million men in the three month battle for Stalingrad alone.
@@kevinadams9468 The journalist Joseph C. Harsch claims that the decision to "stand on the Elbe" and refraining from continuing towards Berlin, "was Ike's, the most controversial decision of his public career." The American military historian Forrest C. Pogue writes in his book "The Halt at the Elbe" the following: "Many observers have concluded that only a political decision, perhaps made weeks before, could have held General Dwight D. Eisenhower's forces at the Elbe. Careful examination of the Supreme Commander's action indicates that he halted his troops short of Berlin and Prague for military reasons only." The reason behind this decision appears to have been to spare The U.S of upwards of a 100 000 American miltary casualties (General Omar C. Bradley's estimate) that it would take for the Americans to reach Berlin ahead of the Russians.
@@kevinadams9468 In total, the Soviet Union lost more than 25.000.000 people in the war, the most part civilians in a planified elimination sistem of the "lesser races".

@@cgee6867people are too violent and ignorant because we have psychopaths that still walk among us, we’ve created this root problem prob as our time was starting, whenever that was. War kills people. Deaths like that does not go with life. So I believe at a certain point something happened that created our issues.
Yeah, Germans showed all there civilisation making a mess in Leo Tolstoy's house shitting on the floors and burning half of the house. Concentration camps for kids, burning civilians alive, medical experiments on povs, genocide of millions of people surely that was not so awful as raping of women afterward and in response
Allied POW's interned in Switzerland (pilots/aircrew that had to bail-out over Switzerland) were sent to pretty relaxed POW camps (far as pow camps are concerned). POW's could ski and even take some college classes. I've even read they were allowed to go into town and buy alcohol. BUT... That kinda life got boring for some. Some wanted to get back into the war. So they tried to escape. If you tried to escape and you were captured you were sent to a different kind of POW camp. Not the easy POW camps where you could ski and drink or take college classes... but actual POW camps that would rival those in Germany. One camp was called Wauwilermoos interment camp and it was run by a pro Nazi nut-job called André Béguin. For some it was hell on earth. Hell on earth is an understatement. Men were raped by other men and nothing was done about it. Andre Beguin would laugh it off. The sadistic pig. The raping was done by a group of Soviet/Russian airmen against weaker allied airman. Not against German women/civilians but against their fellow allied comrades in arms. One young American boy (that was repeatedly raped by the Soviet/Russian airman) tried to kill himself by stuffing hay down his throat to suffocate himself. He was able to get word back to the Americans and when the Americans found out they threatened to make some "accidental bombings" on Switzerland if it didn't stop. It stopped but by then the war was almost over. André Béguin was arrested by the Swiss for a bunch of different charges. He was given 42 months prison. He really should have been hanged. I doubt anything was done to the Soviet/Russian rapist. They should have been hanged. They (Plus every Goddamn Soviet soldier that raped and every Nazi soldier that raped. Hell any soldier that did any raping regardless of where they were from) should have been hanged. So you can see raping was just second nature to the Soviets in WW2. Didn't matter if it was German civilians or ALLIED MALE Pow's. I'm sorry but I have no love for the Soviets in WW2. About as much love as I got for the SS.... none at all. It ticks me off about how we cover the German atrocities of WW2 (which we should absolutely cover) but we don't talk much about how the Soviets were a bunch of brutal monsters. We tend to treat them as liberating heroes when in actuality they were a bunch of opportunistic monsters. Patton was right... we fought/defeated the wrong enemy. Let me include this so we are clear. I'm not defending the Nazis. Hell I'm part Jewish for crying out loud. Lol I am mad that we let the soviets take Eastern Europe. The Soviets were not the liberating heroes media makes them out to be. Eastern Europe simply traded one totalitarian boot (Nazis) for a different totalitarian boot (Soviets). Part of Czechoslovakia and Hungary (to name a few) should never been handed over to the Soviets/Communist on a silver plater. And I don't agree with us supplying the Soviets with our lend lease.
Well said my friend and very true , and the Japanese have not still to this day , owned their atrocities , still even use the rising sun flag , and it hasn't been outlawed , and at least the Germany has owned its dark past
One could make the argument that we just traded Hitler & Tojo for Stalin & Chairman Mao! I have read a lot about WW2 & the following years. It is hard to see an improvement with the replacements because they were also homicidal maniacs whose actions caused the death of untold millions of people as well. So did we make the world a better place maybe but then maybe it was just a trade in of homicidal maniacs. My suspicion is the status quo of evil was maintained at about the same level by WW2 with no real improvement in the overall situation at least in the level of evil perpetrated upon innocent people!
You think that the US should have supported Nazi Germany and go to war with the Soviets? How many died in the holocaust? The Nazi’s were just as bad as the Soviets if not worse.
The Savage Peace, a BBC documentary is also worthwhile watching. Not only were the Germans and Russians were exceptionally cruel, but the Allied forces did unthinkable and unforgivable things. Many died because of excessive cruelty by the allies and nobody cared.
Bollocks. Yes the Soviets and Germans were as bad as each other, but to suggest the Western Allies or Poles were anywhere near as bad is an outright lie.
@@PolakInHolland totally agree - atrocities are part of war, and while the western allies were no angels, it would be hard to compete with the state sponsored rape and murder being anywhere near the rate of the Russians. Worse yet nothing has changed - Look at Ukraine, the Russians are told to do it as part of the toolkit of war.

It's interesting that during the US civil war Grant routinely issued orders against unnecessary violations of the population and only allowed provisions that his army needed to be taken. Only things of use to the enemy could be taken or destroyed. Of course not all was prevented as is the case with all large armies.
Grant looked the other way when Sherman intentionally " lost control " of his troops from Atlanta and during his march to the sea, and back up through the Carolinas, where no woman or girl was safe from the raping, murdering, blood-thirsty Yankee heathens, who pillaged and destroyed everything in their path. It was Sherman who later personally told the Germans when visiting Germany how to deal with the French civilians during their war in 1870.. He asked Bismark why they were so gentle with them, when they should be burned out and killed, along with the French army. No mercy should be show the civilian population, according to Sherman. This was basically an admission of guilt in the atrocities against the American South and all Southerners who dared get in his way. He DELIBERATELY unleashed his men during the Civil War to do whatever they wished to the Southern people of the United States. He was a war criminal of the worst sort and Grant knew exactly what he was doing and had done earlier in the war. He did nothing because he was looking ahead to entering politics after the war, and didn't want to be blamed, thus his public " decency directive " to his army. So it was Sherman who laid the groundwork for how Germany would fight it's future wars, showing no mercy to innocents whatsoever. They learned well from their American war criminal comrade in arms.
@@tancreddehauteville764 The American Civil War ? The contempt that the North had for Southerners existed well before the war, although one could say that the war started in 1854, seven or even 8 years before Sumpter. After the war, literally thousands of Confederate soldiers returning home were murdered, simply for having fought for the South. The cruel hatred of Northerners for all things Southern still exists today in the hearts of those who feel that the Confederacy didn't suffer enough. It was the flag of the United States that the KKK used for over 100 years, and not the Confederate flag that now gets the blame. The misguided destruction of historic statues is further proof of their hatred. The fact is that the Union was as brutal as the nazis of WW2. Enumerating their many and frequent atrocities has not made any difference to the North, because they were the victors and still wish to punish the descendents of the Confederacy. Sherman and Sheridan were 2 of the most bloodthirsty, but thousands of officers and men of the Union army weren't far behind. What would you call it ? Regional hatred ? Geographical hatred ? Hatred of the Southern drawl ? What ?
@@williamgunnarsson nice revisionist history. Virtually none of what you have said was true. Southern propaganda played in the papers to convince people that the devil incarnate was coming. It is well known by true historians that Sherman loved the southern people. He had been stationed among them before the war in fact he was president the military academy that became LSU and resigned at the outbreak of war. But he understood that to end the war the entire confederacy would have to destroyed. The destruction was limited to food and factories, railroads etc. The great campaign to the sea being deep in the south meant it would be impossible to protect supply lines so they lived off the land. This made total sense, feed our army and deprive his of food and forage to continue to make war. The northerner wanted to preserve the Union. There was no hatred of the south in general. Most northern people were not in favor of ending slavery either. The south of course wanted to preserve slavery as was stated in each states succession documents. Your "information" comes from Lost Cause revisionist history not historical fact. It's truly sad that you are so misinformed or willfully ignorant.
@@tancreddehauteville764 true it was a war between one people. Grant didn't want to do anything to make it worse between what was essentially one people.
Just a little correction on the thumbnail: The left picture shows soviet officers, you can see it on their uniform. I'm pretty sure it is a post-ww2 uniform though. The belts also were made after ww2, not during.

Joint invasion of Poland, both sides expected a betrayal. There is no blindside or sudden war. By your logic, Russia deserved what happened for what they did to Poland
Unfortunately, rape is common in most conflicts and wars. I think the desire to totally defeat and humiliate the German men, to show them how impotent they now were, was a large motivation for some Soviet troops.
At an individual level? Not really. It was more like "There are no consequences I can do whatever the hell I want". That's a rare feeling for the common man and it shows in how enthusiastic they were to exercise that option.
The atrocities including mass rape happened not only in Berlin, but everywhere in the former German eastern territories! West Prussia, East Prussia, Pomerania, Silesia, Posen Province, Sudetenland. And even after the German surrender, these crimes continued for a long time. The intensity lessened over time, but it still happened. The German population was deliberately terrorized and decimated, since the expulsion had long since been decided. Perpetrators were mainly Soviets, Poles and Czechs. They had already received the consent to the expulsion of the Germans from the western powers long before that. Likewise the indifference to the way in which this should take place. It said "in a humane manner" on paper, but that was only on paper and had nothing to do with reality. The Germans who did not flee from the Red Army were interned and/or forced to work under the direst of circumstances. They had to rebuild their homeland, restore infrastructure, etc., and they ended up throwing them out of their own homeland, if they survived that long. Everyone was happy to finally get out of their homeland so that they were no longer exposed to the tyranny of the occupiers. If you look at or read reports from contemporary witnesses, you realize that the Germans paid an extremely high price for the Nazi dictatorship. One only has to look into the details to better understand what the German population has suffered. The best way to do this is to read books by those affected. I couldn't have imagined that before either.
@@DarrenMalin The German High Command did intensive research on the question of defeating the Soviets. They knew they were going to "run out of steam" at least, well before they reached Moscow. Paulus himself did this research. Stalingrad and the Caucuses were never in the plan. That was added to the plan by Hitler after they realized that the Soviets had sabotaged the Eastern oil rigs so badly, so fucking badly, well beyond anything the Nazis had anticipated, that it would take years to get them up and running again. The failed plan relied on having those rigs and refineries up and producing fuel within a year after the Nazis took them. The plan for Operation Barbarossa still went forward anyway. And the preparation for it took months. It wasn't even a secret that it was going to happen. But the whole plan hinged on taking the Soviet territory before the Soviets could form an effective defense. They did form an effective defense one that simply delayed the Nazi advance into the winter, when the Nazis had planned to finish the offensive *before* the winter. The rest, as they say, is an example of hubris at its finest. Oh they had thought about it for a long time. They knew that it would fail. But the thought of killing a lot of Jews and other "undesirables" and at least taking SOME of the lands east of Poland? They thought about that for a long time also. In the end, much of the Nazi leadership took comfort in their impending loss to the Allies by telling themselves "hey, at least we killed 6 million Jews. That is an accomplishment that nobody can take away from us". They knew the rest of it was all going to go down in history as yet another European war. The only Germans who actually worried beyond that were the ones who were not true Nazis...and to the true Nazis, and indeed to a large number of neo-Nazis and German sympathizers? Those liberal-loving lefties who opposed the policies of the Fuhrer? They didn't really count as Germans...they were on their way to the death-camps also. You have to understand that German Catholics have been raiding, plundering and pillaging Central and Eastern Europe, for wealth and for slaves for millennia. This was all just a modern-day version of what they had been doing for many generations. All of known history is the history of one group of people raiding, plundering and pillaging another group of people. Not all of them all at once but always at least one group somewhere. The question is merely one of what form of raiding, plundering & pillaging.
@@DarrenMalin obviously there are several types of people, Germans included in these types the ones who would never think about invading another country the ones who constantly think about it the ones who actually do it the ones who have done it and were happy to do it (this has to involve a lot of descendants) and the ones who have done it and regret that they even thought about it much less did it and the ones who have done it and regret how it was done and know they could do it better if they were to do it again It's that last group that is the real problem. They've learned the wrong lessons from the experience. And that is why in the old days the victor would have killed all of the men and sold all of the women and children off as slaves. You can see one mistake that the Nazis made right-off in actually trying to get useful work out of the men (and the Allied POWs) and immediately killing-off most of the women and children...they planned to kill them all off eventually but allowed themselves to get sidetracked in "maximizing their value" first.. That put an extra burden on their own resources and introduced the possibility of sabotage and espionage. The Japanese avoided that mistake yet still fell short when it came to providing sufficient logistics to fight their choice of enemies and win. So many Nazi fan-bois simply overlook these issues while focusing on "combat effectiveness"...it's like, how many battles can you lose before you realize the limitations of looking at "combat effectiveness" while ignoring the effect of repeatedly committing your forces strategically based on a series of erroneous assumptions? Like, fighting battles "to the last man"? In what sort of addled mind does that even sound impressive? It's even worse than the idea of a strategic-retreat. A retreat at best just re-concentrates your forces for easy slaughter. I think of the Nazis building a 10km long Siegfried Line across Russia...holy shit, what idiot came up with that idea. "...wait, let's build a defensive line 70km to the rear. THAT'LL stop the Red Army!!!" That's when you know that you're dealing with people with no real grip on Reality. Surprisingly the Red Army was in Germany 3 months later, having taken about 1000 km of Central European territory from the Nazis. And like lemmings, they kept following Hitler over the cliff. I think far too many of these modern-day neo-Nazis have forgotten just how badly the Allies handed the Nazis' asses to them. Or else they just refuse to think about it. Just goes to prove that killing them once isn't enough. You have to sterilize the ground they come from. There just is no such thing as "innocent at birth". They're genetically corrupt! If you only kill half of them each time there are so many as to be a problem, eventually you kill-off all of the weak genes! Then surprisingly you can't kill ANY of them. Cross-breeding the victors with the vanquished will only accelerate that process which is why the Nazis tried to kill anyone who was even PARTIALLY Jewish. And yet they all fell in line behind Hitler who was 1/4 Jewish himself. That's like believing that a landlord from Queens is going to save the US. This is a guy who can't even save his own marriage because of his need to stick his dick into half the women in Eastern Europe.
@@DarrenMalin If you had any idea, you would know that Poland occupied German territory after WWI. The Versailles Treaty was not a treaty dealing with justice. It was a treaty designed solely to harm Germany. Poland shouldn't have played, but unfortunately they did.
Ancient India had a code of war rooted in Hinduism to not harm civilians and non-combatants in an war. Women and children were completely safe in any war fought in India till 1100 AD. Many ancient travelers from other countries coming to India marvelled at this code. No other country could match this code of an evolved civilization, until the Geneva Convention was formulated.
I think Alexander actually lost to Porus at Hydaspes. The Macedonians were allowed to leave unhindered, on condition they not withdraw back through their previous logistics. (Taxilla). Wich was an Indian code so to speak... Hence the Gadrosian Desert trek... Porus Enlarged Hombe's influence afterwards, as Taxila was forced by Alex to capitulate or be destroyed. Porus showed clemency for a defeated enemy... Meh, they say Alex was 5-0 in major battles. I call 4-1...
Ancient India was unrivaled. Mother protector, The Goddess Durga is multi-limbed so that she may battle evil on a spiritual level. Many hands have a different weapon. India was accustomed to war. Alexander the Great suffered there and promptly left owing to the impossibility of campaigning there... Modern India is a nuclear power. Under British mandate, Indian forces were colonial troops... India has never invaded anyone.

What the Son of Volkssturm had to say about the battle of Berlin in a page. His father can be seen in picture holding panzerschreck. ‘when the Russian tanks entered Berlin, from the south, through the Avus, they wanted to reach the middle as quickly as possible and were not interested in the southern subburns where we lived (Nikolassee)They did not shoot on civilians. We only saw a lot of dead uniformed Hitlerjugend alongside the Avus…

Who is angry enough to kill? Who is lustful enough to rape? Who is greedy enough to get drunk and steal food and belongings of other people? Aren’t will all capable of immoral behavior given the right circumstances. None of us can hope to regulate or control anything or anyone except ourselves. Living by example tells those around us how to behave. We can look back to these terrible crimes and be glad we don’t have to endure them on a national scale. Rapes and murders still happen but the individual is still accountable to the rule of law whether that is human or Divine. Having peace of mind is a precious commodity, let’s be grateful we don’t have to dwell on the past although let us not shut the door on it as well.
No, we are not all capable of such acts of extreme depravity. I have survived wars and other extreme situations and never felt the need to harm innocent people. Only those with a demonic spirit are capable of such acts. The fact that the majority of people fall under this category, does not mean such acts are normal. And if you think we don't endure such crimes on a national level, then you are mistaken. We victims of the "grooming", ie rape, gangs here in the UK know that this is very much on a national level - regardless of the fact that we are strictly forbidden from talking about it!
War is awful. Hate is too . But honestly ; just imagine that an enemy invades your land and commits such cruelty to your people, friends, relatives and beloved! What Feelings of revenge would you have? By the way : I am German
@Steiner Not really when a man Sees His women raped it hurts him Bad and of Course the women too. Men suffer the Most in wars and women are Most of the time in a good Position until their country gets invaded.
I met a woman at a hospital in Houston in 1990 who had gone through some of the attacks by the Russians at the end of the war. She had been just an infant but her mother was hospitalized and thus unable to flee the Russians. She told me that they over ran the hospital and raped all the women and girls old enough to rape and killed any male staff who had not fled the Russian advance. They eventually made it to a displaced persons camp in England, where they stayed for a couple years before being allowed to immigrate to the US. We, in the US have never been in the situation faced by people in much of the world during WWII, because of the distance from the fighting theaters. In this day of nuclear missiles the carnage might be worse, but also, I guess, quicker.
so many stories just like this one, all from new, blank accounts. Always a neighbour, an aunt, or someone close but not too close to them. And they always pop up with thse stories right after a video like this one gets posted. it's almost as if neo-Nazis are creating fake troll accounts to flood UA-cam with bullshit accounts about events that never happened. Your fanfic is comedy gold: "she was just an infant" and then you go on with many details that she remembered. If you really want to champion white supremacy, could you at least lapse try to be "supreme" and not write lies so incredibly obvious that even a squirrel can see the inconsistencies in under a second?
And to the question of why the Germans had to endure the horrors of violence from soldiers. My father, mentioning the violence of Soviet soldiers against Germans in East Prussia, explained that it was not accidental. He recalled that his front was moving through Belarus (formerly part of the USSR). Both he and his soldiers saw that most of the villages and towns there were burned by the retreating Germans. And in the burned villages, all their inhabitants who did not hide in the forests were killed and piled up. He especially remembered how, after entering one of these villages, the soldiers wanted to drink and found a well. And suddenly they called him: "Comrade Lieutenant, look!" The father came up and saw that the well was filled to the top with the corpses of peasants, and on top lay the bloodied children who had been killed. There was a dead silence. My father did not make angry speeches. He only said to his subordinates: "Remember this!" After which, he turned around and left. And in the evening he heard his "battery" subordinates saying that they would take revenge on the Germans for everything... So they (and other soldiers of the front) took revenge on the Germans. Moreover, German soldiers committed violence against Russian women no less, who then had to give birth to half-blooded children. And everyone knew it... So, after the war, Stalin even ordered to collect these half-breeds (if the mothers did not want to educate) and send them to orphanages. And so that the teachers did not "gnobil" the children (so as not to be bullied), they were given Russian names and surnames. By the way, no one punished Russian women who gave birth to Germans (which was surprising for contemporaries). And my father once remarked that "the Germans deserved all that horror and the Russians have nothing to apologize to them for."
To all of those bleeding hearts who are lamenting about behaviour of Red Army soldiers I have one answer only: "A raped German woman or handful of watches for mother and sister burned alive somewhere in the Soviet Union? - God trade Germans". (In Belarus alone Germans burned around 700 villages together with their inhabitants).
Very well written Just wehrboos dont seem to realize or even dismiss the extensive rape of the Germans against Russian women but only focus on the rape of “2 million” German women which is often statistically refuted. (I’m not implying it never happened but 2 million?)
@@richardtknees Tell me Richard what right do you have to judge a soldier, who went through Belarus, where Germans during their occupation burned around 700 villages together with their inhabitants making room for übermenschen? How do you know what effect on your psyche it would have a sight of piles after piles of your burned countrymen, villagers and their children? How do you know what feelings it would arouse in you toward the nation responsible for those unspeakable crimes? Eighty years after those tragic events you are sitting comfortably behind the keyboard and serving the sentences and decide what's right and what's wrong?! Who are you to judge these people, you who most likely never even experienced the horror of war and never smelled artillery powder or the stench of burned or rotten human bodies? His father was right: "Russians have nothing to apologize for". They wiped out nazizm from Eastern Europe and guaranteed that those countries were living in peace for half a century. And besides, do you know what happened to all guards when American army liberated Dachau concentration camp? Do you know what this western "civilized" army did with those Germans, after they saw piles of dead bodies, victims of nazi ideology? Shortly after the liberation they were all dead and US never apologize for this obvious war crime either.
No western army is on record to have ever encouraged rape, down played it or dismissed its criminal nature. The Soviet Union is on record of having done all three.
My father was a young boy in Germany, who was sent out to live with a farmer and his wife to avoid the worst bombing. He told me that he saw Russian soldiers smash babies' heads against a wall at a farm nearby. I never heard him lie, ever.

This number originated from the book The Fall of Berlin 1945 published by English writer Antony Beevor in 2002. He, in turn, refers to the book "BeFreier und Befreite" (1992) by German feminist writer Helke Sander. Helke Sander used a statistical model to come up with the number of the rapes. She found a copy of a birth report from one of Berlin's hospitals for 1945 - 1947, and used it as a starting point According to this document, in 1945 in this hospital 237 women gave birth, and 12 or 13 of them claimed Russian fathers (in 1946, 21/567). From this, she concluded that about 5% of all children born between Sept 1945 - Aug 1946 were from the Russian soldiers. Then she used a number of assumptions: 1. According to the official statistics, there were 23,124 new-born babies within this time period in Berlin. Assuming that the report from the above hospital was typical, she got 23,124 * 5% = 1,156 "Russian" babies; 2. Assume that 9 out of 10 raped women who got pregnant had an abortion. Then, the number of women who became pregnant from the rapes must be 1,156 *10 = 11,560; 3. Assume that pregnancy happened in 20% of the rapes. Then, the total number of rapes must be 11,560 * 5 = 57,800; 4. During the period, there were 600,000 women aged 18 - 45 in Berlin. So, 57,800/600,000 = 9.5% of them must have been raped; 5. According to Dr.Goebbels, the Russians raped all German women from 8 to 80 years old. Since during the period there were 800,000 women from 8 - 18 and 45-80 in Berlin, applying 9.5% ratio yielded additional 73,300 rape victims; 6. Therefore, the total number of Russian rapes in Berlin during the period was 73,300 + 57,800 = 131,100. For reasons unknown, she rounded down the number to 110,000; 7. Finally, assuming that the ratios were the same for the entire country,she extrapolated the above analysis on the Soviet-occupied Germany to arrive to 2,000,000 rapes.
My grandmother was assaulted by the Soviets. She never spoke about it, died w/ the memory of it. I was in the American Army. Wish I could go back in time & 'Correct' the Commie who did that to my grams.
This is horrifically atrocious. I'm sure words can't even begin to describe the defeated helplessness that followed the terror of brutal violation of oneself and loved ones, neighbors. It's just so sickening to think of literally being hunted and gang raped every time you left home, hell even your home as an uninvited guest was fair game obviously... It's just like I'm to numb to begin to comprehend that feeling, ugh, it's unimaginabley hellacious. How long were these rapes allowed to continue? What a useless cruel barbaric war.
people today still try and justify the mass rape of the woman and little girls, woman weren’t even allowed to hold political offices in germany at the time so why take it out on them, not only that but the soviets did this to the woman of romania, hungary, estonia, latvia, lithuania and pretty much all of Eastern Europe especially the balkans since they viewed them as traitors but those stories are never told as those countries were completely dominated by the soviets so all the horrible stories from victims and witnesses were mostly suppressed pretty much every country the soviets went to rape and war crimes followed it’s estimated 2 million woman were raped including little girls as young as 5 years old all across eastern Europe by the soviets which is why it wasn’t just the german woman fleeing their country to the west where rape and war crimes of any kind were much less likely to occur, i hate humanity sometimes now excuse me while i copy and paste this throughout the comment section to bring awareness and so the general story of what those women and children endured doesn’t go completely untold.
What are you rambling about? That war was most certainly highly needed, otherwise further millions of innocent people would have been exterminated by megalomaniac Nazis! Are you nuts? Even 1943 Nazi Germany realised they couldn't win their insane war. Guess what they decided.. Even their own children and elderly were send to the battle field instead of finally surrendering! Clueless woke clown!
It should be mentioned that the Red Army did the same things in Poland and every other country it passed through on its way to Germany.
Maybe that's why it took the Russian army 4 years to go the same distance you can drive in less than a day. They were busy raping and pillaging instead of fighting.
Not doubting it but do you have proof?
The red army were quite unforgiving towards those nations who invaded Russia alongside the Wehrmacht and who caused the horrific and needless deaths of Russian civilians....Hungary and Romania in particular.......
Tito of Yugoslavia sent a delegation to Stalin to demand he put an end to this behaviour. Stalin apparently replied that local women were the just reward for troops who had been through the campaigns.

This brutality can not be reduced to the Axis and Russian armies! I knew a German woman from the American sector after WW2, who was abused by 5 American soldiers for hours. I found it out, because working as a nurse, I asked about a date tattooed on the inside of her upper left tigh. She told me about the rape at her age of 16 and that the soldiers tattooed the date of the rape on her tigh, for that she should remember it her whole life. She did. She was mentally broken and never had a retationship beside to a teddybear from that time, that helped her to survive until she died at the age of 78. "Im amerikanisch besetzten Bayern kam es nach dem Einmarsch zu zahlreichen Fällen von sexueller Gewalt.[53] Die Historikerin Miriam Gebhardt verweist auf 540 Einmarschberichte der katholischen Pfarrer der Erzdiözese München-Freising.

Sounds like bull shit , If any complaint had been made to an American officer a full investigation would have ensued and it would be Public Record as well as military record. The men responsible would have been tried and imprisoned. I know this because unlike the Russians and the Germans , 90% of American soldiers were Christians. In a military group nothing happens that is not widely known quickly. I am sure their were crimes of Americans who raped in WW2 because their is record but finding five non Christian American criminal soldiers all willing to rape is a fantasy , I spent 25 years a Christian in U.S. military service.

If you read Hartmann's book "Blonde Knight of Germany" he writes about his squadron surrendering to the Red Army. With the pilots and the ground crew were their wives and families. Of course the Soviets helped themselves to some raping. The next day the Soviet area commander arrived and said that all assaults would stop and any further assaults would be punished. Of course they continued and the commander asked all of the assaulted women to step forward. They did and he lined up all of his men and asked the women to identify the culprits. They were pointed out, gallows were constructed and the offenders hanged in front of their fellows.

To the point that they even planed to take her (and her younger sister) to the Swiz border which was only 120 miles away. Thankfully the area was "liberated" by the Americans, so she was OK
Привет из Беларуси, Минск . Мне 48 лет , мой дом стоял на месте бывшего немецкого штаба оккупированного Минска , часто находили ржавые немецкие каски в огороде , остатки колючей проволоки. Моя бабушка была взята в Германию ее труд эксплуатировали немцы , дед был партизаном в белорусских лесах, голод и холод покалечили его здоровье, он умер рано от рака желудка . Я никогда не видела его в живых только фотографии . Все это отразилось и отражается на моей психике , мне снятся сны что я погибаю в поле боя и просыпаюсь в холодном поту . Не смей слышишь не смей жаловаться на свою жизнь и тем более на русских советских солдатов! Беларусов во время второй мировой войны немецкие солдаты заживо жгли в своих домах целыми семьями , тысячи и десятки миллионов семей разрушены , и замучены в голоде пытках , убиты немецкими садистами маньяками , тысячи искалеченных детей из которых выкачивали кровь и над которыми ставили медицинские изуверские эксперименты , отрезали руки и ноги , делали операции без анастезии и прочие зверства от которых кровь станет в жилах ! Вопрос : " ты здесь кому жалуешься ?! " Ты здесь у кого ищешь сочувствия тебе лично ?! Ты хочешь чтобы тебя пожалели ?! Я правильно понимаю ты хочешь осудить русских солдат и обелить и оправдать Адольфа Гитлера ?! Я правильно тебя понимаю ?! Редко даю советы , но я настоятельно тебе рекомендую остановиться и не писать жалобы на советских солдат , которые освободили весь мир от лукавого демона и слуги дьявола Адольфа Гитлера, не к ночи будет упомянут, СПАСИ и помилуй Господь Всемогущий да будет предано забвению имя его и Бог ему судья . Настоятельно рекомендую прекрати жаловаться ☝️

Some of this is told in The tin drum. Some of this also happened in Vietnam and Iraq. It doesn't matter if they are Russians, American or Israelites: they are all human beings and nothing is worse than that (as Mark Twain said when asked about the different races).
true. The Vietnamese still hold a lot of hatred for what Koreans did to them. Australian soldiers supposedly called American soldiers "baby killers" behind their backs after watching what American soldiers did in Vietnam.
All inhumane acts in war should have been punished but were not. I hope that the atrocities committed by the Soviet in Germany and Eastern Europe will also be remembered as war crimes.
Being liberated by the Soviets would be an oxymoron to say the least!
i don't think anyone called the occupation of Berlin a liberation. and as horrific as the occupation was for these women, it would never have happened if they hadn't allowed Hitler and all the other fascists to get their greasy little selves in government.

For all the glory they get as "heroines", I have yet to read one story where female Soviet soldiers attempted to intervene and stop their male counterparts from engaging in these monstrous crimes against fellow women. Perhaps there are a few cases where they did and I haven't heard about it, but it seems a vast majority of them simply looked the other way or shrugged it off. There are no adequate words to describe how evil that is.
They even stayed until 1991 to make sure that no-one would every forget with liberation by the Russians means.
The comments section is Soul crushing. There are no words to atone for what has happened
I watched a Red Army soldier tell a Tory if two very young teen girls that were trying to get through the Soviet camp at early day light. He stated that he tried to get them to go back from where they came from fast. They didn’t understand and continued forward. Both were caught and raped to death by over 20 men. Both girls were around the age of 11-14 years old. There are the brutalities of war then there are things like this that go way above and beyond.

My neighbour growing up escaped Hungary as a young teenager. She remembered the Russians coming to her town. She was about eight. She said they hide in a swamp while a battle raged for several days. Her and her brothers began to return to their town, when German soldiers who were retreating, demanded her brother’s clothing at gun point. The German soldiers were terrified of the Russian women who were often placed at the front line because of their extraordinary barbarity. When they finally reached their town, she was taken to a loft with all the young girls and women to hide from the incoming Russians. Several older women 40+ in age sacrificed themselves to rape. She remembers hearing footsteps coming up the entryway to the loft. They would stop just before the hatch and retreat down the steps. She remembers being told later that the Russians would not lift the hatch to any loft because they knew that in Russia the women would be waiting with pitchforks to spear the Germans when they would lift a hatch. They stayed there for several days until the third or fourth wave of Russians advanced. She said these were the administrative waves that were less beastial and somewhat civilized. I remember her telling me about the terror she faced. I was young when she told me this story, but I always wondered if in most wars, the first wave of any advancing army is almost always largely made up of those released from prisons and lunatic asylums. I later found out that solders from my country🇨🇦 had a reputation of being very civilized when they liberated anyone in WW2. Many people from those countries immigrated to 🇨🇦 and shared these stories of decency. It makes me proud…Mrs. Ganz had a very difficult childhood. Her mother died when she was three and her father went away to fight. It was 1940. She was left with aunts who were religious zealots who treated her as a slave. She would have to kneel for hours saying the rosary for anything she didn’t do correctly. Her father was killed on one of the very last days of the war. She remained with those aunts until her brothers were able to establish themselves in Austria. She remembers meeting up with smugglers one night who met up with several other groups trying to leave Hungary. She was only fifteen when she had to crawl through minefields. She remembers several mines going off as she crawled under the wire. Her life here was good, but she was always treated as a servant by all members of her and her husbands families whenever they would visit. I loved Rosie ❤…She was funny when on the phone because she could speak five languages and would use them all in one phone call…I know this is a long post, but I owe it to her to tell her story. She died alone and forgotten by the member of her family she loved to most. He is a narcissistic fuck who has to live with the fact that he did nothing to help her if it was not going to be beneficial to him. He stole money and weaselled his way into being a co-executer of her substantial investments her husband left her…And I used to call him a friend…Her story needs to be told because that generation of people who have memories of the war are dying and their stories will die with them.

@@АлександрДухин-р3ц there was terrible atrocities on both sides , such hatred was terrible , war is terrible , peace is the best and will always be the best way to heaven
@@handeyecoordinationskills Thank you for your words , but the difference is that the attitude of the governments to this issue was different . Hitler's parting words to the Wehrmacht sounded like this : My soldiers , you are going to the east , where the laws of chivalry should not work , where the laws of war do not work, I am freeing you from morality , morality is a public girl of the bourgeoisie.
The words of the head of the USSR Stalin Joseph Vissarionovich from the Order of February 23, 1942 No. 55, congratulated the military and partisans on the 24th anniversary of the Red Army:
"Sometimes they talk in the foreign press that the Red Army has as its goal to exterminate the German people and destroy the German state. This, of course, is stupid nonsense and an unwise slander against the Red Army. The Red Army does not and cannot have such idiotic goals. The Red Army aims to expel the German occupiers from our country and liberate the Soviet land from the Nazi invaders. It is very likely that the war for the liberation of the Soviet land will lead to the expulsion or destruction of the Hitler clique. We would welcome such an outcome. But it would be ridiculous to identify Hitler's clique with the German people, with the German state. The experience of history says that the Hitlers come and go, but the German people, and the German state remains.
Finally, the strength of the Red Army consists in the fact that it does not and cannot have racial hatred towards other peoples, including the German people, that it has been brought up in the spirit of equality of all peoples and races, in the spirit of respect for the rights of other peoples. The racial theory of the Germans and the practice of racial hatred led to the fact that all freedom-loving peoples became enemies of fascist Germany. The theory of racial equality in the USSR and the practice of respect for the rights of other peoples led to the fact that all freedom-loving peoples became friends of the Soviet Union.
This is the strength of the Red Army.
This is also the weakness of the German Fascist army.

No they didn't, but on the flip side, a whole lot of women voted Hitler into pwoer because he was very charismatic and they were swept up with him and men in military uniforms. It's one fo the reasons Hitler didn't let on he had a girlfriend and said he was married to Germany... so as not to lose the women vote which was substantial to him coming into power.
Half my family is German and I'm hoping they were in the Western side under the Allies becuse I've never heard them talk about any of this... so... I think they escaped it for the most part.

.cry me a river, buddy. Is it even a question of which was worse, Nazi atrocities or German?
...however, she was OK with killing non-germans
@@aagg6433 I see it as two possible ways
first, she had no idea of the "side atrocities" of the Nazis, that they weren't just "invading foreign countries and conquering them", you know there's all the other stuff that goes along with it, and then the atrocities that went along with the "invading and conquering". Such as the raping involved with 'invading and conquering".
Both on land and at sea, associated with every troop-movement, every battle.
Second, she didn't really know anything about the "extermination", the "ethnic cleansing", the enslavement, "forced labor" and the "death-camps" parts. All of which involved Nazis picking-off, exploiting and then shooting women, possibly some men and children also, for their personal pleasure.
And their collaborators, who weren't officially Nazis, might even have been foreigners. But they were all happy and willing to exploit the chaos created by the Nazis.
And that certainly included some right at home in Berlin. Certainly even in her own small little town. Not saying that all the Germans were rapists, or even that all the rapists were German. But without a doubt they were the engine behind all the raping. If they hadn't, you know, started the war and conquered so much territory, then this woman might have a leg to stand on when it comes to complaining about foreigners taking over Germany and raping the women. Instead of realizing that it's just part of the process of losing the war. I'm sure that they ran around screaming that it was !!!!! illegal !!!!! for their women to get raped by foreign soldiers. Funny how criminals turn to the law for protection from the consequences of their own actions. They know how little hope there is for them to use, you know, "right and wrong" or some other moral concern as a defense. I'm surprised that it wasn't an actual law in the Soviet military handbook that said "there shall be no tolerance for women of the vanquished party, who opposed the Soviet military in open combat and who attacked the Soviet people, who then complain about getting raped. None whatsoever. Especially when their military has raped its way halfway across the USSR and raped its way back out of the USSR...all while justifying the torture, raping and killing of Soviet citizens by the fact that they weren't good little Nazi collaborators".
...did you know that Nazi commanders often demanded a tribute from the towns in their command-area, to avoid either leveling or burning the town and exploiting all of the civilians, or just burning the ghettoes and exploiting the surviving Jews?
In one instance the Nazi commander demanded 56 kg of golf plus some large amount of local currency.
Your people were no better than the Vikings, the Mongols or any number of marauding tribesmen, invaders and pirates of various European countries throughout history. They just did it in 1940 instead of 1240 or even 1640. You should thank the Americans and Soviets for only *raping* German women and not carting them off to be sold as slaves in Istanbul. Which is usually what would happen.
And trust me, your men did a hell of a lot worse than that in all the territory and to all the people they captured between Austria and Moscow. And they literally turned on and slaughtered the Italians who had changed sides during the war, on the mere basis of calling them traitors.
Not the Italian leadership who actually negotiated the truce with the Allies and signed the truce in secret, releasing the information from the top down. The Italian soldiers who were out in the field who had no idea what was going on, had no orders for what to do after the truce was signed, they were completely blindsided by what happened. This did not matter to the Nazis. They rounded them all up whenever possible and shot them as traitors. Surprisingly this drove the surviving Italians to join the local partisans in open warfare against the Nazis who then occupied and fortified their country against the Allies with whom the Italians had just signed a peace treaty. The Italias, not to mention the Italian Jews, were then caught in the middle between the invading and advancing Allied forces and the retreating Nazi forces. You honestly thought the Nazis gave a rats' ass about raping, torturing and killing any civilians who got in their sights? Do you think that they cared about any appeals for clemency or leniency from the locals?
I'm sure tl of the German people thought that their government would carry-out this "world conquest" in a polite, peaceful and respectful manner, with no raping or pillaging involved whatsoever.
@@aagg6433 it's funny how people complain about getting abused when they are the ones getting abused and there's nothing they can do to stop it, but when it's other people getting abused they just ignore it or claim that it's deserved and they are happy to be friends with and even support the abusers & criticize the victims.
It's like, what else can they do but run their mouths.
I'm not sure how inflicting cruelty on innocent German women makes any sense as an act of revenge. Doesn't that simply beget another act of revenge against yourself for doing precisely what you were fighting against in the first place? Absolute madness.
Makes perfect sense to me. If the Germans knew their place and didn’t attack the Soviets, this wouldn’t have happened.
Actions have consequences

@@ДаниилВасильев-э8п The best thing to remember in discussions like this - of groups or nations - is that people are individuals, not groups, and they vary infinitely in their participation and approval of whatever their groups did or didn't do. There were honorable and dishonorable people on both sides, some more than others of course, and not all of them participated or approved of what their fellow nationals did. They also had little to no control over what anyone else did. To blame whole groups for what some did, is to BE the very evil you say you hate. Because that is THE mentality of those who took revenge on people who likely had nothing to do with the war.
If your country goes to war, how much control do you have over that? Your choices are then to stand with your country, oppose it, or be neutral. If you're neutral or oppose that war, you may be blamed by the enemy regardless, just as much as anyone else. And all because of that mentality of seeing people as groups.
NO ONE IS A GROUP.

Of course, there is no excuse for soldiers raping civilians in war.
The question is, why, upon examining war rape, are the Germans singled out as the victims, and Soviets the perpetrators? German soldiers never raped any Soviet women when they invaded their way to the gate of Moscow? If the video concerns itself with the international tragedy of war-rape throughout WWII, and reflects on the transcending human sufferings, I'd give it two thumbs up - in that case focusing on cases where perpetrators were Soviet soldiers is not a deviation from objectivity, since by all accounts Soviet soldiers did rape German women in millions. However, the video doesn't go for that direction. It excludes any mentions of war-rape inflicted upon millions of Soviet women by German soldiers, and unapologetically drums up a narrative of the Soviets exclusively being the soulless devils and Germans exclusively being the innocent victims. Such nationality-exclusivity bumps hypocrisy to a disgusting level. Even North Korean propaganda has more subtlety.
I think the implication was that the German occupiers of Russia weren't required to rape Russian women.
The Germans killed any Soviet women they captured - it was against Hitler's racial laws for the Germans to have sex with the Russians.
Ah yes, "what about - ism" to justify unjustifiable actions.

It defies me how Hitler's generals let him have his way, when they knew his strategy was no good. As soon as D-Day was over it should've been clear that they'd lost. The German army could've retreated from France and put up all their efforts on the Eastern Front, and then the Americans would've pushed beyond Berlin. It would've saved us from 45 years of Communism. Even when Berlin was surrounded, Hitler was ordering the army stretched thin, when his generals wanted to put everything into keeping the Soviets out.
He forced them to swear an oath of loyalty to him which they took seriously. When many of them finally rebelled in 1944 , just after D-Day, you saw what happened to the coup plotters as too many others stayed loyal.
Actually, a very good call. Americans, almost all white nation back than should agree with it to.
He doesn't need any of the Western front's divisions, all he need to push back the Soviet is the Steiner's attack
RIght. Although, he made the expressing of dissenting opinions very risky, a German general would have to have been an unusually competent human and would have found ways to show him how bad the situation was. But it didn't happen.
I guess, some of them tried eventually.
@@rascalferret Nonsense. The Red Army lost 70,000 men , the Germans lost 200,000 men . No one shot anyone.
My mother, her sister, her brother and my grandma were in Halberstadt when the Russians came and the Americans withdrew. My uncle was sick with diphtheria at the time and in the hospital, getting better because of the penicillin and care he had received from the Americans.

They never talked about that time, but after my grandpa had been reunited with them and twice arrested by the NKWD, they fled to West Germany.

Apparently a controversial movie in Germany because the general thought was that no German woman, under any circumstances, would do what she did. I can't quite remember the story now, but I think she became genuinely involved with a Russian officer.
The wholesale gang rape of German women was encouraged by the Communist commissars. Women under British and American occupation didn't fare much better. German soldiers in occupied territories upheld civil standards and probably didn't need to rape the locals.
@@wadedavies3924 .... with all due respect , the atrocities committed by nazis during Operation Barbarossa is well documented . As a result , the retribution was made personal with the occupation of Germany . If you're attempting to imply the nazis paid strict adherence to civility is categorically false .
I recall reading that the Western Allies had every chance to reach Berlin first and that Churchill insisted that they push forward so as to prevent the Russians from occupying the city, but that for some reason the American commander Eisenhower made sure that the Russians could reach Berlin first.
No, that decision was made at Yalta; Eisenhower had nothing to do with it.. Stalin claimed that right, especially since the US casualties were insignificant compared to Red Army losses against the Nazis. 7 out of 10 Axis soldiers were engaged by the Red Army. The US lost a total of 440,000 men in WWII. The Red Army lost 1.1 million men in the three month battle for Stalingrad alone.
@@kevinadams9468 The journalist Joseph C. Harsch claims that the decision to "stand on the Elbe" and refraining from continuing towards Berlin, "was Ike's, the most controversial decision of his public career."
The American military historian Forrest C. Pogue writes in his book "The Halt at the Elbe" the following:
"Many observers have concluded that only a political decision, perhaps made weeks before, could have held General Dwight D. Eisenhower's forces at the Elbe. Careful examination of the Supreme Commander's action indicates that he halted his troops short of Berlin and Prague for military reasons only."
The reason behind this decision appears to have been to spare The U.S of upwards of a 100 000 American miltary casualties (General Omar C. Bradley's estimate) that it would take for the Americans to reach Berlin ahead of the Russians.

Yeah, Germans showed all there civilisation making a mess in Leo Tolstoy's house shitting on the floors and burning half of the house. Concentration camps for kids, burning civilians alive, medical experiments on povs, genocide of millions of people surely that was not so awful as raping of women afterward and in response
yes, Germans started this and were a bists
They‘re all the same….men becoming beasts
Allied POW's interned in Switzerland (pilots/aircrew that had to bail-out over Switzerland) were sent to pretty relaxed POW camps (far as pow camps are concerned). POW's could ski and even take some college classes. I've even read they were allowed to go into town and buy alcohol.
BUT... That kinda life got boring for some. Some wanted to get back into the war. So they tried to escape. If you tried to escape and you were captured you were sent to a different kind of POW camp. Not the easy POW camps where you could ski and drink or take college classes... but actual POW camps that would rival those in Germany.
One camp was called Wauwilermoos interment camp and it was run by a pro Nazi nut-job called André Béguin. For some it was hell on earth. Hell on earth is an understatement. Men were raped by other men and nothing was done about it. Andre Beguin would laugh it off. The sadistic pig. The raping was done by a group of Soviet/Russian airmen against weaker allied airman. Not against German women/civilians but against their fellow allied comrades in arms. One young American boy (that was repeatedly raped by the Soviet/Russian airman) tried to kill himself by stuffing hay down his throat to suffocate himself. He was able to get word back to the Americans and when the Americans found out they threatened to make some "accidental bombings" on Switzerland if it didn't stop. It stopped but by then the war was almost over.
André Béguin was arrested by the Swiss for a bunch of different charges. He was given 42 months prison. He really should have been hanged.
I doubt anything was done to the Soviet/Russian rapist. They should have been hanged. They (Plus every Goddamn Soviet soldier that raped and every Nazi soldier that raped. Hell any soldier that did any raping regardless of where they were from) should have been hanged.
So you can see raping was just second nature to the Soviets in WW2. Didn't matter if it was German civilians or ALLIED MALE Pow's.
I'm sorry but I have no love for the Soviets in WW2. About as much love as I got for the SS.... none at all.
It ticks me off about how we cover the German atrocities of WW2 (which we should absolutely cover) but we don't talk much about how the Soviets were a bunch of brutal monsters. We tend to treat them as liberating heroes when in actuality they were a bunch of opportunistic monsters.
Patton was right... we fought/defeated the wrong enemy.
Let me include this so we are clear. I'm not defending the Nazis. Hell I'm part Jewish for crying out loud. Lol
I am mad that we let the soviets take Eastern Europe. The Soviets were not the liberating heroes media makes them out to be. Eastern Europe simply traded one totalitarian boot (Nazis) for a different totalitarian boot (Soviets). Part of Czechoslovakia and Hungary (to name a few) should never been handed over to the Soviets/Communist on a silver plater.
And I don't agree with us supplying the Soviets with our lend lease.
And Switzerland was a NEUTRAL county, a could do exactly as they pleased.

One could make the argument that we just traded Hitler & Tojo for Stalin & Chairman Mao! I have read a lot about WW2 & the following years. It is hard to see an improvement with the replacements because they were also homicidal maniacs whose actions caused the death of untold millions of people as well. So did we make the world a better place maybe but then maybe it was just a trade in of homicidal maniacs. My suspicion is the status quo of evil was maintained at about the same level by WW2 with no real improvement in the overall situation at least in the level of evil perpetrated upon innocent people!
You think that the US should have supported Nazi Germany and go to war with the Soviets? How many died in the holocaust? The Nazi’s were just as bad as the Soviets if not worse.

It's interesting that during the US civil war Grant routinely issued orders against unnecessary violations of the population and only allowed provisions that his army needed to be taken. Only things of use to the enemy could be taken or destroyed. Of course not all was prevented as is the case with all large armies.
Grant looked the other way when Sherman intentionally " lost control " of his troops from Atlanta and during his march to the sea, and back up through the Carolinas, where no woman or girl was safe from the raping, murdering, blood-thirsty Yankee heathens, who pillaged and destroyed everything in their path. It was Sherman who later personally told the Germans when visiting Germany how to deal with the French civilians during their war in 1870.. He asked Bismark why they were so gentle with them, when they should be burned out and killed, along with the French army. No mercy should be show the civilian population, according to Sherman. This was basically an admission of guilt in the atrocities against the American South and all Southerners who dared get in his way. He DELIBERATELY unleashed his men during the Civil War to do whatever they wished to the Southern people of the United States. He was a war criminal of the worst sort and Grant knew exactly what he was doing and had done earlier in the war. He did nothing because he was looking ahead to entering politics after the war, and didn't want to be blamed, thus his public " decency directive " to his army. So it was Sherman who laid the groundwork for how Germany would fight it's future wars, showing no mercy to innocents whatsoever. They learned well from their American war criminal comrade in arms.
That was a civil war. No ethnic hatred.
@@tancreddehauteville764 The American Civil War ? The contempt that the North had for Southerners existed well before the war, although one could say that the war started in 1854, seven or even 8 years before Sumpter. After the war, literally thousands of Confederate soldiers returning home were murdered, simply for having fought for the South. The cruel hatred of Northerners for all things Southern still exists today in the hearts of those who feel that the Confederacy didn't suffer enough. It was the flag of the United States that the KKK used for over 100 years, and not the Confederate flag that now gets the blame. The misguided destruction of historic statues is further proof of their hatred. The fact is that the Union was as brutal as the nazis of WW2. Enumerating their many and frequent atrocities has not made any difference to the North, because they were the victors and still wish to punish the descendents of the Confederacy. Sherman and Sheridan were 2 of the most bloodthirsty, but thousands of officers and men of the Union army weren't far behind. What would you call it ? Regional hatred ? Geographical hatred ? Hatred of the Southern drawl ? What ?
@@williamgunnarsson nice revisionist history. Virtually none of what you have said was true. Southern propaganda played in the papers to convince people that the devil incarnate was coming. It is well known by true historians that Sherman loved the southern people. He had been stationed among them before the war in fact he was president the military academy that became LSU and resigned at the outbreak of war. But he understood that to end the war the entire confederacy would have to destroyed. The destruction was limited to food and factories, railroads etc. The great campaign to the sea being deep in the south meant it would be impossible to protect supply lines so they lived off the land. This made total sense, feed our army and deprive his of food and forage to continue to make war. The northerner wanted to preserve the Union. There was no hatred of the south in general. Most northern people were not in favor of ending slavery either. The south of course wanted to preserve slavery as was stated in each states succession documents. Your "information" comes from Lost Cause revisionist history not historical fact. It's truly sad that you are so misinformed or willfully ignorant.
@@tancreddehauteville764 true it was a war between one people. Grant didn't want to do anything to make it worse between what was essentially one people.

Unfortunately, rape is common in most conflicts and wars.
I think the desire to totally defeat and humiliate the German men, to show them how impotent they now were, was a large motivation for some Soviet troops.
At an individual level? Not really. It was more like "There are no consequences I can do whatever the hell I want".
That's a rare feeling for the common man and it shows in how enthusiastic they were to exercise that option.
Except they did the same thing in Poland.

REVENGE
The atrocities including mass rape happened not only in Berlin, but everywhere in the former German eastern territories! West Prussia, East Prussia, Pomerania, Silesia, Posen Province, Sudetenland. And even after the German surrender, these crimes continued for a long time. The intensity lessened over time, but it still happened. The German population was deliberately terrorized and decimated, since the expulsion had long since been decided. Perpetrators were mainly Soviets, Poles and Czechs. They had already received the consent to the expulsion of the Germans from the western powers long before that. Likewise the indifference to the way in which this should take place. It said "in a humane manner" on paper, but that was only on paper and had nothing to do with reality. The Germans who did not flee from the Red Army were interned and/or forced to work under the direst of circumstances. They had to rebuild their homeland, restore infrastructure, etc., and they ended up throwing them out of their own homeland, if they survived that long. Everyone was happy to finally get out of their homeland so that they were no longer exposed to the tyranny of the occupiers. If you look at or read reports from contemporary witnesses, you realize that the Germans paid an extremely high price for the Nazi dictatorship. One only has to look into the details to better understand what the German population has suffered. The best way to do this is to read books by those affected. I couldn't have imagined that before either.
...cry me a river, buddy. Is it even a question of which was worse, Nazi atrocities or Soviet?
May the German will think twice before trying to still someone else's country
@@DarrenMalin The German High Command did intensive research on the question of defeating the Soviets. They knew they were going to "run out of steam" at least, well before they reached Moscow. Paulus himself did this research. Stalingrad and the Caucuses were never in the plan. That was added to the plan by Hitler after they realized that the Soviets had sabotaged the Eastern oil rigs so badly, so fucking badly, well beyond anything the Nazis had anticipated, that it would take years to get them up and running again. The failed plan relied on having those rigs and refineries up and producing fuel within a year after the Nazis took them.
The plan for Operation Barbarossa still went forward anyway. And the preparation for it took months. It wasn't even a secret that it was going to happen. But the whole plan hinged on taking the Soviet territory before the Soviets could form an effective defense. They did form an effective defense one that simply delayed the Nazi advance into the winter, when the Nazis had planned to finish the offensive *before* the winter.
The rest, as they say, is an example of hubris at its finest. Oh they had thought about it for a long time. They knew that it would fail. But the thought of killing a lot of Jews and other "undesirables" and at least taking SOME of the lands east of Poland? They thought about that for a long time also. In the end, much of the Nazi leadership took comfort in their impending loss to the Allies by telling themselves "hey, at least we killed 6 million Jews. That is an accomplishment that nobody can take away from us". They knew the rest of it was all going to go down in history as yet another European war. The only Germans who actually worried beyond that were the ones who were not true Nazis...and to the true Nazis, and indeed to a large number of neo-Nazis and German sympathizers? Those liberal-loving lefties who opposed the policies of the Fuhrer? They didn't really count as Germans...they were on their way to the death-camps also.
You have to understand that German Catholics have been raiding, plundering and pillaging Central and Eastern Europe, for wealth and for slaves for millennia. This was all just a modern-day version of what they had been doing for many generations. All of known history is the history of one group of people raiding, plundering and pillaging another group of people. Not all of them all at once but always at least one group somewhere.
The question is merely one of what form of raiding, plundering & pillaging.
@@DarrenMalin obviously there are several types of people, Germans included in these types
the ones who would never think about invading another country
the ones who constantly think about it
the ones who actually do it
the ones who have done it and were happy to do it (this has to involve a lot of descendants)
and the ones who have done it and regret that they even thought about it much less did it
and the ones who have done it and regret how it was done and know they could do it better if they were to do it again
It's that last group that is the real problem.
They've learned the wrong lessons from the experience. And that is why in the old days the victor would have killed all of the men and sold all of the women and children off as slaves.
You can see one mistake that the Nazis made right-off in actually trying to get useful work out of the men (and the Allied POWs) and immediately killing-off most of the women and children...they planned to kill them all off eventually but allowed themselves to get sidetracked in "maximizing their value" first.. That put an extra burden on their own resources and introduced the possibility of sabotage and espionage. The Japanese avoided that mistake yet still fell short when it came to providing sufficient logistics to fight their choice of enemies and win.
So many Nazi fan-bois simply overlook these issues while focusing on "combat effectiveness"...it's like, how many battles can you lose before you realize the limitations of looking at "combat effectiveness" while ignoring the effect of repeatedly committing your forces strategically based on a series of erroneous assumptions? Like, fighting battles "to the last man"? In what sort of addled mind does that even sound impressive? It's even worse than the idea of a strategic-retreat. A retreat at best just re-concentrates your forces for easy slaughter.
I think of the Nazis building a 10km long Siegfried Line across Russia...holy shit, what idiot came up with that idea. "...wait, let's build a defensive line 70km to the rear. THAT'LL stop the Red Army!!!"
That's when you know that you're dealing with people with no real grip on Reality. Surprisingly the Red Army was in Germany 3 months later, having taken about 1000 km of Central European territory from the Nazis. And like lemmings, they kept following Hitler over the cliff.
I think far too many of these modern-day neo-Nazis have forgotten just how badly the Allies handed the Nazis' asses to them. Or else they just refuse to think about it. Just goes to prove that killing them once isn't enough. You have to sterilize the ground they come from. There just is no such thing as "innocent at birth". They're genetically corrupt! If you only kill half of them each time there are so many as to be a problem, eventually you kill-off all of the weak genes! Then surprisingly you can't kill ANY of them. Cross-breeding the victors with the vanquished will only accelerate that process which is why the Nazis tried to kill anyone who was even PARTIALLY Jewish. And yet they all fell in line behind Hitler who was 1/4 Jewish himself. That's like believing that a landlord from Queens is going to save the US. This is a guy who can't even save his own marriage because of his need to stick his dick into half the women in Eastern Europe.
@@DarrenMalin If you had any idea, you would know that Poland occupied German territory after WWI. The Versailles Treaty was not a treaty dealing with justice. It was a treaty designed solely to harm Germany. Poland shouldn't have played, but unfortunately they did.
I don't know how my mother and our family survived Berlin.
Ancient India had a code of war rooted in Hinduism to not harm civilians and non-combatants in an war. Women and children were completely safe in any war fought in India till 1100 AD. Many ancient travelers from other countries coming to India marvelled at this code. No other country could match this code of an evolved civilization, until the Geneva Convention was formulated.
I think Alexander actually lost to Porus at Hydaspes. The Macedonians were allowed to leave unhindered, on condition they not withdraw back through their previous logistics. (Taxilla). Wich was an Indian code so to speak... Hence the Gadrosian Desert trek... Porus Enlarged Hombe's influence afterwards, as Taxila was forced by Alex to capitulate or be destroyed. Porus showed clemency for a defeated enemy...
Meh, they say Alex was 5-0 in major battles. I call 4-1...

And then Muslims were being fought continuously for 1000 years -- that is why we are still Hindus, unlike you people who lost their spiritual traditions and became Christians on Roman conquest
I saw in some video on the same topic that German women were quoted for saying "they rather a Russian on their belly, (being raped) then an American over their heads"...
(being bombed by the USA).
Yeah the bombing was horrific
they started it and we finished it
@@billdecatur1178 But the British started bombing civilians first. it took Germany 3 months until they decided that they'll retaliate by bombing British civilians which is also wrong and horrific
@@brandbienedell7971 what's your point? ... Germans had been torturing and slaughtering tens of thousands of civilians since 9/1/39 ... a full year - almost to the day - before Allies finally gave the civilians of Germany a little taste of war ... pretty sure the Poles and Belgians and French, etc didn't shed a tear

What the Son of Volkssturm had to say about the battle of Berlin in a page.
His father can be seen in picture holding panzerschreck.
‘when the Russian tanks entered Berlin, from the south, through the Avus, they wanted to reach the middle as quickly as possible and were not interested in the southern subburns where we lived (Nikolassee)They did not shoot on civilians. We only saw a lot of dead uniformed Hitlerjugend alongside the Avus…
Putin doing the same with the Wagner mercenaries, opened russian prisons.
It's Russian way of war.
Evil is a poor opponent against evil.
They behave the same today in Ukraine. Nothing changed them. Those from Eastern Europe know very well about Russia and their army’s behaviour. We had seen enough. 🇷🇴

When it comes to Russian military, nothing has changed. They are still doing this sort of thing in Ukraine.
Firstly, it was called the Soviet army. Secondly, do you at least know which countries were part of the USSR? It was Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Georgia, etc. The Soviet army is not only Russians.

Who is angry enough to kill? Who is lustful enough to rape? Who is greedy enough to get drunk and steal food and belongings of other people? Aren’t will all capable of immoral behavior given the right circumstances. None of us can hope to regulate or control anything or anyone except ourselves. Living by example tells those around us how to behave. We can look back to these terrible crimes and be glad we don’t have to endure them on a national scale. Rapes and murders still happen but the individual is still accountable to the rule of law whether that is human or Divine. Having peace of mind is a precious commodity, let’s be grateful we don’t have to dwell on the past although let us not shut the door on it as well.
War such as these people experienced and participated in mad them insane and this happens in every war throughout history.
No, we are not all capable of such acts of extreme depravity. I have survived wars and other extreme situations and never felt the need to harm innocent people. Only those with a demonic spirit are capable of such acts. The fact that the majority of people fall under this category, does not mean such acts are normal. And if you think we don't endure such crimes on a national level, then you are mistaken. We victims of the "grooming", ie rape, gangs here in the UK know that this is very much on a national level - regardless of the fact that we are strictly forbidden from talking about it!
Censorship in the internet proves that what the Allies told about the war was not the Truth
That's because the victors always write the history. It's been that way from time immemorial.
War is awful. Hate is too .
But honestly ; just imagine that an enemy invades your land and commits such cruelty to your people, friends, relatives and beloved! What Feelings of revenge would you have?
By the way : I am German
Someone once said that revenge is best served cold.
@Steiner Not really when a man Sees His women raped it hurts him Bad and of Course the women too. Men suffer the Most in wars and women are Most of the time in a good Position until their country gets invaded.
Reap what you sow, I suppose.
German! You killed millions Russians.We will never forgive you!Shut your stinking mouth about revenge!
Raping an innocent 8 year old child is a horrific crime, no matter whether it's German, Russian, Jewish or any other race....... BTW I am Polish.
I met a woman at a hospital in Houston in 1990 who had gone through some of the attacks by the Russians at the end of the war. She had been just an infant but her mother was hospitalized and thus unable to flee the Russians. She told me that they over ran the hospital and raped all the women and girls old enough to rape and killed any male staff who had not fled the Russian advance. They eventually made it to a displaced persons camp in England, where they stayed for a couple years before being allowed to immigrate to the US.
We, in the US have never been in the situation faced by people in much of the world during WWII, because of the distance from the fighting theaters. In this day of nuclear missiles the carnage might be worse, but also, I guess, quicker.
Немок жалко, а русских не насиловали и не убивали, не ной!
so many stories just like this one, all from new, blank accounts. Always a neighbour, an aunt, or someone close but not too close to them. And they always pop up with thse stories right after a video like this one gets posted. it's almost as if neo-Nazis are creating fake troll accounts to flood UA-cam with bullshit accounts about events that never happened. Your fanfic is comedy gold: "she was just an infant" and then you go on with many details that she remembered. If you really want to champion white supremacy, could you at least lapse try to be "supreme" and not write lies so incredibly obvious that even a squirrel can see the inconsistencies in under a second?
The horrors of war. God help us
And to the question of why the Germans had to endure the horrors of violence from soldiers. My father, mentioning the violence of Soviet soldiers against Germans in East Prussia, explained that it was not accidental. He recalled that his front was moving through Belarus (formerly part of the USSR). Both he and his soldiers saw that most of the villages and towns there were burned by the retreating Germans. And in the burned villages, all their inhabitants who did not hide in the forests were killed and piled up. He especially remembered how, after entering one of these villages, the soldiers wanted to drink and found a well. And suddenly they called him: "Comrade Lieutenant, look!" The father came up and saw that the well was filled to the top with the corpses of peasants, and on top lay the bloodied children who had been killed. There was a dead silence. My father did not make angry speeches. He only said to his subordinates: "Remember this!" After which, he turned around and left. And in the evening he heard his "battery" subordinates saying that they would take revenge on the Germans for everything... So they (and other soldiers of the front) took revenge on the Germans. Moreover, German soldiers committed violence against Russian women no less, who then had to give birth to half-blooded children. And everyone knew it... So, after the war, Stalin even ordered to collect these half-breeds (if the mothers did not want to educate) and send them to orphanages. And so that the teachers did not "gnobil" the children (so as not to be bullied), they were given Russian names and surnames. By the way, no one punished Russian women who gave birth to Germans (which was surprising for contemporaries). And my father once remarked that "the Germans deserved all that horror and the Russians have nothing to apologize to them for."
To all of those bleeding hearts who are lamenting about behaviour of Red Army soldiers I have one answer only: "A raped German woman or handful of watches for mother and sister burned alive somewhere in the Soviet Union? - God trade Germans". (In Belarus alone Germans burned around 700 villages together with their inhabitants).
Very well written
Just wehrboos dont seem to realize or even dismiss the extensive rape of the Germans against Russian women but only focus on the rape of “2 million” German women which is often statistically refuted. (I’m not implying it never happened but 2 million?)
Of course, two wrongs make it right. Not.
@@richardtknees Tell me Richard what right do you have to judge a soldier, who went through Belarus, where Germans during their occupation burned around 700 villages together with their inhabitants making room for übermenschen? How do you know what effect on your psyche it would have a sight of piles after piles of your burned countrymen, villagers and their children? How do you know what feelings it would arouse in you toward the nation responsible for those unspeakable crimes? Eighty years after those tragic events you are sitting comfortably behind the keyboard and serving the sentences and decide what's right and what's wrong?! Who are you to judge these people, you who most likely never even experienced the horror of war and never smelled artillery powder or the stench of burned or rotten human bodies? His father was right: "Russians have nothing to apologize for". They wiped out nazizm from Eastern Europe and guaranteed that those countries were living in peace for half a century. And besides, do you know what happened to all guards when American army liberated Dachau concentration camp? Do you know what this western "civilized" army did with those Germans, after they saw piles of dead bodies, victims of nazi ideology? Shortly after the liberation they were all dead and US never apologize for this obvious war crime either.
Not only the soviets rapid, americans were also keen on german women. It happend a LOT
No western army is on record to have ever encouraged rape, down played it or dismissed its criminal nature. The Soviet Union is on record of having done all three.
My father was a young boy in Germany, who was sent out to live with a farmer and his wife to avoid the worst bombing. He told me that he saw Russian soldiers smash babies' heads against a wall at a farm nearby. I never heard him lie, ever.
I watched a documentary, where a German officer stamped on a pregnant Jewish woman until the baby was ejected from her belly.
Beat that nazi.
Awesome story
@@Adam-cu3ue Awesome? Horrific.
@@indiawalla8960 My father was a little boy during the war, and his father was a conscientious objector to Hitler's war, and did all he could to avoid having to kill anyone, and he was successful in that aim, and never killed anyone. So don't call me a nazi, you despicable toad.
Sounds like what the Japanese army did to Chinese civilians in WW2. I believe him. War really is hell.

This number originated from the book The Fall of Berlin 1945 published by English writer Antony Beevor in 2002. He, in turn, refers to the book "BeFreier und Befreite" (1992) by German feminist writer Helke Sander.
Helke Sander used a statistical model to come up with the number of the rapes. She found a copy of a birth report from one of Berlin's hospitals for 1945 - 1947, and used it as a starting point
According to this document, in 1945 in this hospital 237 women gave birth, and 12 or 13 of them claimed Russian fathers (in 1946, 21/567). From this, she concluded that about 5% of all children born between Sept 1945 - Aug 1946 were from the Russian soldiers.
Then she used a number of assumptions:
1. According to the official statistics, there were 23,124 new-born babies within this time period in Berlin. Assuming that the report from the above hospital was typical, she got 23,124 * 5% = 1,156 "Russian" babies;
2. Assume that 9 out of 10 raped women who got pregnant had an abortion. Then, the number of women who became pregnant from the rapes must be 1,156 *10 = 11,560;
3. Assume that pregnancy happened in 20% of the rapes. Then, the total number of rapes must be 11,560 * 5 = 57,800;
4. During the period, there were 600,000 women aged 18 - 45 in Berlin. So, 57,800/600,000 = 9.5% of them must have been raped;
5. According to Dr.Goebbels, the Russians raped all German women from 8 to 80 years old. Since during the period there were 800,000 women from 8 - 18 and 45-80 in Berlin, applying 9.5% ratio yielded additional 73,300 rape victims;
6. Therefore, the total number of Russian rapes in Berlin during the period was 73,300 + 57,800 = 131,100. For reasons unknown, she rounded down the number to 110,000;
7. Finally, assuming that the ratios were the same for the entire country,she extrapolated the above analysis on the Soviet-occupied Germany to arrive to 2,000,000 rapes.
My grandmother was assaulted by the Soviets. She never spoke about it, died w/ the memory of it. I was in the American Army. Wish I could go back in time & 'Correct' the Commie who did that to my grams.
Don’t you want to correct 11 millions of Commies who saved the world from Hitler and lost their lifes?
This is horrifically atrocious. I'm sure words can't even begin to describe the defeated helplessness that followed the terror of brutal violation of oneself and loved ones, neighbors. It's just so sickening to think of literally being hunted and gang raped every time you left home, hell even your home as an uninvited guest was fair game obviously... It's just like I'm to numb to begin to comprehend that feeling, ugh, it's unimaginabley hellacious. How long were these rapes allowed to continue?
What a useless cruel barbaric war.
people today still try and justify the mass rape of the woman and little girls, woman weren’t even allowed to hold political offices in germany at the time so why take it out on them, not only that but the soviets did this to the woman of romania, hungary, estonia, latvia, lithuania and pretty much all of Eastern Europe especially the balkans since they viewed them as traitors but those stories are never told as those countries were completely dominated by the soviets so all the horrible stories from victims and witnesses were mostly suppressed pretty much every country the soviets went to rape and war crimes followed it’s estimated 2 million woman were raped including little girls as young as 5 years old all across eastern Europe by the soviets which is why it wasn’t just the german woman fleeing their country to the west where rape and war crimes of any kind were much less likely to occur, i hate humanity sometimes now excuse me while i copy and paste this throughout the comment section to bring awareness and so the general story of what those women and children endured doesn’t go completely untold.
What are you rambling about? That war was most certainly highly needed, otherwise further millions of innocent people would have been exterminated by megalomaniac Nazis!
Are you nuts?
Even 1943 Nazi Germany realised they couldn't win their insane war. Guess what they decided.. Even their own children and elderly were send to the battle field instead of finally surrendering! Clueless woke clown!
