    Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 6 of diary of an enlisted man in Germany's army, who served on both the Eastern and Western fronts and was wounded four times before being captured in 1944. After a highly unpleasant stay in a French POW camp, he was turned over to American authorities and sent to the U.S., where he spent a comparatively comfortable 14 months in several POW camps. Repatriated in 1948, He worked as a dental technician until his death.

      One thing I’ve noticed with fascism is that they instill in their people sense of victimhood.

    @4:35 the original author of this had the arrogance to blame the destruction of the French city not on “the defenders of the city” (by which he was referring to the German invaders/occupiers) but on “the attackers” (the Allies). My God the sheer arrogance and stupidity to not recognize that the entire war and hence the destruction of that city and countless others, and the deaths of dozens of millions of people on all sides was TOTALLY started by Hitler and the Nazis and the millions of everyday Germans, who - at least in the beginning and for a long time after - supported it.

      This is a direct quote from Wikipedia under: 'Bombing of France during World War II'.
      "Between the time of the German victory in the Battle of France and the liberation of the country, the Allied Forces bombed many locations in France. In all 1,570 French cities and towns were bombed by the Allies between June 1940 and May 1945. The total number of civilians killed was, at least, of 68,778 men, women and children (including the 2,700 civilians killed in Royan).
      The total number of injured was more than 100,000. The total number of houses completely destroyed by the bombings was 432,000, and the number of partly destroyed houses was 890,000. The cities that saw the most destruction were the following":
      Saint-Nazaire (Loire Atlantique): 100%
      Tilly-la-Campagne (Calvados): 96%
      Calais (Pas-de-Calais) : 95%
      Vire (Calvados): 95%
      Royan (Charente-Maritime): 95% [3]
      Le Portel (Pas-de-Calais) : 94%
      Dunkerque (Nord) : 90%
      Villers-Bocage (Calvados): 88%
      Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais) : 85%
      Le Havre (Seine-Maritime): 82%
      Beauvais (Oise) : 80%
      Lorient (Morbihan) : 80 %

You missed my point, which was that had Hitler and the Germans never had started WW2, NONE of what happened afterwards, including the aforementioned destruction of the French towns and cities, and the deaths of millions upon millions of soldiers and civilians on all sides would have been averted.

I have studied the German version of WW2 a little and I can confirm that they lost two wars, a war of bullets, the one we all know of and a war of words, which is much worse. When the bullets stop flying, the war is over but that's when the other war begins, and this one is still going on today. As they say, the winners write the history, do they always tell the truth?
