    “Mongolian” is often used to describe people with Asiatic facial features. “Hordes” is the other word the Germans used. You could say Ghenkis Khan and his “hordes” have left a deep impression on the European psyche…fear of “eastern hordes” that are constantly threatening Europe. Here it means: Siberians, Tatars and other non Russian ethnics…and of course, Mongolians.

      I think you're right about who the Germans considered as Mongolian people are...Not Gengis Khan "mongols "as in history but any other ethnic group that were in Russia...They considered Ukraine as Russia, but the Lithuania, Polish, and everyone in Europe that wasn't German speaking were in their way, Hitler's way, to describe the people who were caught up in operation Barbossa...Ive been binge watching these WW2 stories of the German soldiers who were told by Nazi's that the war on Russia would be over in a couple of months.

      The Allies treaty after WW1, forced Germany into ruin, the government couldn’t pay for it, people had no jobs and no food, and no hope. That made it easy for Hitler to come to power, he took advantage of the situation the allies created, they thought they smart, but in fact, it wasn’t smart at all, this decision cost the lives of millions of people in the next world war, and then the same idiots made another famous decision, let’s give Stalin everything he wants for helping us, we can trust him. Now communists all over the world are pointing nuclear weapons at us. The Allies did everything wrong, and now the whole world we suffer

    As a Mongolian, who are aware of own history I announce that citizens of Mongolia didn't fought alongside with the Soviet troops against Germany. Mongolians have supported Soviet Union in their fight against fashism with money, financed some productions of russian tanks and air planes, supplied the Soviet troops with warm winter clothes and shoes etc.
    Mongolians fought during World War II against the militarist Japan
    where thousands of Japanese where captured and forced to work on rebuilding the capital city of Mongolia. Only one japanese POW was released home, so that he can give a witness report about how Mongolians can spread real horror and hell to the armies that try to invade their Motherland. Other POWs have worked till death. They are burried in a big cemetary in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. In the year 1945 Mongolians fought alongside with Soviet troops to liberate China from militarist Japan.

    My father fought in the US Army during WW2. Later in life he started talking about his experiences during the war. Once he told me the Mongolian troops filled their teeth to points, and would sneak up on German positions at night. He said they would feel the contour of their helmets to make sure they were Germans, and not friendly troops before cutting their throats. He said the Germans feared the Mongolians so much that they would not fire on them during the day so as to not give their positions away...

      I knew an American vet that told me a story about how he had watch at night and he felt someone feeling his chin strap. He turned around and I don't remember who he said it was but I'm guessing it was a gurka because he said that the guy had his knife out and put out his hand so the guy could cut it because they had something where they had to draw blood whenever they pulled out their knife. Since I heard the story as a kid I always wondered how they sharpened their knives then. And he felt the chin strap because it was different for allied and axis soldiers.

    This speaks to a deep racial fear that goes back even further than the Huns and Avars.

      Nazi Germany ignored the Geneva Convention when it came to the war in the East btw. German High Command (OKW) issued orders for the operation (Barbarossa) that the rules of war did not apply when facing the Soviets and that military discipline was null and void, so crimes committed by Geerman troops would not be prosecuted. You can fantasise that the invading German army was living in terror of the barbarian "Mongols" if you like but they themselves committed untold heinous crimes against humanity in vast numbers before they had an opportunity to fear reprisals from "Mogolians" or any other understandably vengeful Soviet troops. I guess if you are going to behave with evil, inhuman intent on your victims you better ensure that you are actually going to beat the opponent, as payback can be unpleasant.

      @johnniea4684 No such thing happened. But it is true that the Soviet Union never followed the Geneva Convention.
      90% of all prisoners taken by the Soviets died. Soviets used biological weapons, Stalin refused to send aid to Soviet POWs via the Red Cross- which was/is standard practice. In fact, USSR considered any Red Army soldier who surrendered a traitor.
      Red Army raped and murdered up to 2 million women, children, the elderly as the progressed through Europe. Many times, gang raping children as young as 8 to death.
      The Germans, as a rule, obeyed the laws of war and took prisoners. Did not use banned weapons, acts of pillaging or rape was extremely rare, and punished if it did happened. There really is no comparison between the honorable conduct of the Whermacht and the barbarity of the Red Army.

    The true horrors of this war was what happened when the mongols captured the German soldiers they would inflict some of the most horrific tortures on their captives . They would torture them slowly and the German soldiers in the trenches could hear them . This was nerve wracking and psychologically devastating. It also resulted in tit for tat tortures between them that resulted in some of the worst atrocities

    • @johnniea4684
      @johnniea4684 Рік тому +3

      By "tit-for-tat" you're implying the Germans were retaliating, which is highly misleading. The Germans invaded the USSR in 1941, overrun huge territories, killed a lot of troops and captured hundreds of thousands. The atrocities they committed on the Soviet army and civilian population (just one, relatively minor example: when the winter hit in 1941 they turfed civilians out of their homes and used them to quarter German troops, took all their food and supplies; the Soviet civilians were left to fend for themselves in the snow - fun eh?) Such incidents (including mass casual rapes of Soviet women - military discipline / punishment was ignored by official orders from German high Command OKW) were used to motivate and inflame the Red Army, which led to a lot of revenge being taken on captured German troops, especially the SS and later on German civilians.

The Russians lost about 10,000,000 fighting the Germans that lost about 6,000,000 guys. Then came the Chinese at around 3-4,000,000 killed by the Japanese who lost about 2,000,000.

The nomadic peoples of Central Asia, such as the Mongols did well until the industrial revolution caused massive population growth in places such as Russia, along with the technology to deploy large armies equipped with firearms, cannon etc and then they were beaten very badly and driven further east, out of places like the modern eastern Ukraine and future Asian provinces of the Russian Empire.

      No, he didn't. So many people are clueless about history. In WW1 the Germans successfully beat the Russians while fighting a 2 front war. He hoped to knock them out quickly or cause the Soviet govt to collapse. In hindsight we are all geniuses.

      @@RamblesBrambles .....It's very simple, you have to know the German mentality compared to other nations. The Germans tend to be extremely disciplined, which is very effective in the context of a well-ordered troop in combat, which knows its missions and objectives... However, and this is somewhat the weakness of such a troop, it is that if events differ from what is planned, the chain of command is always called upon, group or section leaders have little autonomy in the field, much less than in some other armies where personal initiative is often put forward, as well as group initiative. I'm not an expert, I'm giving my personal opinion here, I've been in the army for 41 years and I've worked with a lot of foreign armies, and that's my opinion and it's not to be taken as holy writ but that's what my experience has shown.

Questioning Berlin's😈😈 disillusioned military decisions by 1943. Was 2 years too late. Remember the degenerate/disillusioned fuhrer. Whom ordered tank commander general Guderian not to precede to Moscow??? Remember no retreat from North Africa??? Remember no tactical retreat from Stalingrad??? How about the hum dinger refusal to be awakened the morning of the "D" day landing??? Much too leaky a vessel to have much faith in.

      If you are a Nazi, or completely sold on the Western narrative over Ukraine, you'd believe that crap. Put it this way: why haven't the Russians flattened Kiev yet? A concentrated missile and drone barrage would overwhelm air defences and cause mass civilian casualties, if that were the intention. Anyway, the German diarist is referring to the Soviet Union - not the Russians - so that includes Ukraine btw. You also may be unintentionally comparing the experiences of this (Nazi) soldier with the modern Ukrainian army, which given recent events in Canada may not be all that helpful.
