@Hüseyin Furkan Kardiyen that saddens me a lot. those who did the worst got away free. while the Upholders of humanity suffered the most and met a tragic sad ending. what could be the worse example of unjustness in this world. someone helping others in their dire situations and instead got this. and such Heroes of humanity are often unheard of, because we as a society , chose to ignore about them. while mass murderers enjoyed their lives with lavish till they passed away at old age. what has happened to these German heroes. all died in pain. this breaks me down.
@Omar D He tried, but he was recalled back to germany because if he didn't return, he and his family would be considered as enemy of the reich and executed.
i feel that weve been taught to believe any German is bad in ww2. Those German boys sitting their feeling lonely sad confused scared are mostly the ones who were their not to murder people but to serve and save their country men and stop the Americans and British and Russian soldiers from destroying their homeland.
joe ward i mean. They just followed orders like americans and englishmen. Those people are in the German Army, that fought for their country. Not Schutzstaffel who’s job was to lead the genocide of undesireables. The Germans had no choice. They had to fight for their fathernation or else they would be executed.
@@Jo_Wardy it's true that actually there are no good guys or bad guys, but don't forget that the german armed forces, not only the SS, committed atrocities against civilians, PoWs and destroyed everything in Eastern Europe.

The Wehrmacht really weren't "bad" people. They were mainly made up of German soldiers before the Nazis even took power. Most of them didnt hold the extreme views of Hitler. The SS were the ones who ran the concentration camps and did Hitler's dirty work. The SS were formed after Hitler took power and were radical anti-semites. Though it could be argued that the Wehrmacht were complicit in the war crimes of Hitler and the SS, I think it's a little unfair considering the Wehrmacht was around long before Hitler even came to power, and most of them were simply following orders. It was follow orders or be killed. In short, there's a huge difference between Wehrmacht and SS.
@@TheVideoGametuts the wehermacht did commit a lot of war crimes though dude. Whenever an officer felt like wasting a bunch of civilians or POWs they didnt wait around for the SS to come and do it.

@@SoapMcTavish06 Well... if Germany didn't bomb and invade them in the first place, the Allies wouldn't had to drop bombs on german women and children, either. War is a dirty bussiness.
Even after the war ends, this film doesnt become celebratory. It still reminds you that the horror doesnt go away just like that. It goes on. There's no victors, just survivors and those who died. No reconciliation, but grudge that keeps going on. And whether you are "good" or "bad" does not help you survive. The Pianist does an excellent job at helping you understand how hopeless it all was.
This part of the movie broke my heart..at the end of the day we are all human no matter what causes we are brought into..he deserved a better outcome for how he saved speilman
If Captain Hosenfeld had been captured by the Western Allies instead of the Soviets, then despite the thousands of deaths in Western captive, he would more than likely would have survived, released and maybe not seen but spoken to Szpilman again through letters, that the most unfortunate fact of this whole situation personally.
The reality is that Wladyslaw tried everything in order to save Captain Wilhelm Hosenfeld from a soviet concentration camp, but he couldn't, so Wilhelm died in there in 1952. Today, he is considered a hero and has many honours for saving many jews from the holocaust. One of those honours is "Righteous among the nations", given by Israel. He was a hero and he died suffering.
Why would he get beat up for talking to the guy? And remember Hosenfeld was a Captain, probably the highest ranking guy in the POW camp. Nobody would touch him, except the Soviets who later killed him.
timtimtimmaah His directives were managing logistics, and making sure his men were fed. Not every German was responsible for the Shoah, not even close to everyone was an antisemitic Nazi. That and the fact they were in a Soviet POW camp would’ve prevented potential assaults on Hosenfeld.
@@timtimtimmaah There is not one single case, documented or spoken of, in which anyone in the Third Reich was killed for either saving Jews, or for refusing to kill Jews. Saving Jews led to punishment like reduced rank or military jail time, which typically was reduced once warm bodies needed to be thrown to the front. Refusing to kill Jews led to no punishment that we know of: zero, ziltch, nothing. The defendants at Nuremberg (albeit hardly representative of millions of German troops) all said that if they had disobeyed an order to kill they would have been killed themselves. Yet their lawyers were not able to find a single case of this actually happening, and for a very simple reason- it never happened. German lives, in the Nazi mind and in the perverted and distorted theory of Aryan superiority, were far too valuable to kill for refusing to kill Jews. Over the 1960s and 1970s, West German prosecutors brought a tiny number of former trigger pullers to trial (virtually all received a slap on the wrist), and if you take a look at these trials' transcripts you will see the same two questions appear over and again: "What would have happened to you if you had refused to participate in the 'aktion'?", followed by "Would you have been punished by death/ would you have been executed if you had refused to participate in the 'aktion'?" The answers are repetitive; for the first question the answer is always about reassignment- especially for "cordon duty," loss of respect from fellow troops, disrespect and insults from fellow troops, etc. The answer to the second question, "Would you have been punished by death/ would you have been executed if you had refused to participate in the 'aktion'?" is always a resounding "No." In fact, in March 1943 after a speech in Posen (Posnan), Himmler clearly stated in plain speech that the moral of the "Aryan German troops" needed to be "preserved," to prevent them from becoming brutes. Accordingly, he sent a very clear order throughout the Reich to all branches that any German or auxiliary serving in any camp, in the Einzatsgruppen, in the military police, order police, SD, SS, Waffen-SS, and Wehrmacht (i.e., all Germans and auxiliaries participating in the Holocaust), was to be reassigned to another form of duty by their commanding officer if they refused an order to kill Jews, or if they simply could not carry on the task of the Holocaust. German defenders in the 1960s and '70s (again, read the transcripts for yourselves if you wish, they are open records) were asked if they know of this order by Himmler, and nearly all said that they either heard of it, or were directly read this order by their commanding officers or unit commanders. Since former East German and Soviet archives were opened in the 1990s, we now know without a shadow of a doubt that no one who participated in the Holocaust but refused to kill Jews/ asked to be relieved of such duty was ever punished in any way, let alone killed for it. Remember, the appalling ideas of Nazism had hierarchies for "races." All Germans were at the top of the hierarchy, and all Jews were at the lowest rung of this hierarchy. Not wanting to kill Jews did not, according to Nazi doctrine, mandate killing an "Aryan," whose "human integrity" Himmler clearly wanted to preserve. This is not just ideological, this was also practical- Himmler sent this order after so many Germans and auxiliaries who carried out the Holocaust had nervous breakdowns, became drunkards when being served massive amounts of alcohol to do this gruesome "work" (Himmler and Hitler were both teetotalers), or otherwise developed what we would today consider PTSD. To keep the killing machine working efficiently, Himmler's order was the "practical" thing to do if the Germans were to eliminate European Jewry. Himmler stated at the same March 1943 Posen speech that the elimination of the Jews would be "a marvelous page in German history which would never be written." Sadly, the Holocaust in many ways was accomplished in the simple fact that Germany and its allies and auxiliaries had destroyed the bulk of Europe's 9.5 million Jews who were present in 1939. Since the 1990s, Germany's guilt has been compounded by what we today call its "second guilt" of not holding to account those responsible for killing unarmed Jewish children, men, women, adolescents, the elderly, and the infirm- six million of them. Wilm Adelbert Hosenfeld, shown in this scene, had saved a number of Jews besides Szpilman. Szpilman never got Hosenfeld's name. It was not until the late 1940s that he learned of the name of the officer who had rescued him by helping him hide, bringing him food, and giving him warm clothing against the cold. It was around 1949-1950 that Szpilman, together with a few other survivors rescued by Hosenfeld, sent a letter to Moscow in Hosenfeld's defense, listing his humanitarian efforts and his humaneness. Hosenfeld was still alive when Moscow received this letter, which was received but never responded to. Because of the unit that Hosenfeld was in at the end of the war (an SS unit), to which he was assigned as late as late 1943/ early 1944, he was marked by the Soviets as a suspect for "interrogation," primarily because he was an officer. He was killed in 1952 in Soviet captivity.
I wonder if the actor at this point when his agent says 'I found a part for you in a movie' his reaction is 'let me guess WW2?Right?'. He's typecast so much in WW2 german roles its kind of funny now.
Thomas kretschmann is always filmmakers' first choice when they need an actor for WW2 german officers. He played the role of lt. Von witzland (stalingrad 1993), cptn. peter kahn (bondarchuk's stalingrad 2013), gruppenfuhrer hermann fegelein (der untergang 2004), cptn guenther wassner (U571), mjr. Otto remer (valkyrie 2008) and cptn. Willem hosenfeld in the pianist.
"These animals. With the horrible mass murder of the Jews we have lost this war. We have brought an eternal curse on ourselves and will be forever covered with shame. We have no right for compassion or mercy; we all have a share in the guilt. I am ashamed to walk in the city…." -Wilhelm Hosenfeld
@@luisg.5700 Although joining the Nazi party in 1935, Hosenfeld soon grew disillusioned with the regime and disgusted by the crimes against Poles and Jews that he became witness to. All through his military service he kept a diary in which he expressed his feelings. The texts survived because he would regularly send the notebooks home. In his writing, Hosenfeld stressed his growing disgust with the regimes’ oppression of Poles, the persecution of Polish clergy, the abuse of Jews, and, with the beginning of the “Final Solution”, his horror at the extermination of the Jewish people. In 1943, after witnessing the suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto revolt, he wrote in his diary: "these animals. With horrible mass murder of the Jews we have lost this war. We have brought an eternal curse on ourselves and will be forever covered with shame. We have no right for compassion or mercy; we all have a share in the guilt. I am ashamed to walk in the city…."

In the latest edition of the book The Pianist, some fragments from the Captain's diary + the testimony of his son have been inserted in the last pages. He was a good man, and he helped many more people (Jews and Poles, women) than we see in the film. The thing that touched me was the way he wrote in his diary since the years 40-41: he knew that the war would not end well for the germans, because he saw too much cruelty and "he who has lost humanity cannot win" . I can't accept that he died as a prisoner! he didn't deserve it. I'd love to read his complete diary but it was only published in German...
I cried after watching this movie 😢💔💔 . My heart broke that how much a human can be cruel to one another. How a good man suffers just coz of some BULL SHIT hearts and black souls which are filled of hatred .
I'm not a native speaker but this is what I could hear. - Sie sind Musiker? - Ja. - Kennen Sie zufällig einen Kollegen, den Pianisten, Herrn Szpilmann, polnischer Rundfunk. - Doch. Natürlich kenne ich Herrn Szpilmann. - Ich habe Herrn Szpilmann geholfen, während er sich versteckt hielt. Sagen Sie ihm, dass ich hier bin. Sagen Sie ihm bitte. Sagen Sie ihm, mir zu helfen. - Wie heißen Sie? - Hosenfeld. - Wie?
He asked the man on the outside “Are you a musician?” And the man said “Yeah.” And Wilm asked him ‘did he know the Brody’s character?’ The name escapes me atm. He said “of course I do” and then Wilm says he helped hide him and that if he found him tell Brody’s character where he was. This was so his account as a Jew would save him. The musician found him playing for a Polish radio and brought him back at a later date presumably to find nothing there. We learn the officer was tortured in a POW camp in the USSR and later died of a heart attack in 1952, never being rescued in time regardless of saving multiple Jews during the War.
Vishal Rawat Ironic, yes. Saddening even, when you think about how Hosenfeld died later after months of torture in a soviet prison, without ever seeing his wife, five children or Szpilman again.
Maybe someone can explain me what the russian soldier is shouting?? It might be "уходите" (go away) but it Sounds more like "покадите"?? What does he actually say?
German wilm: "are you a musician" Lednicki" yes I am " Wilm:" do you know a colleague of your szpilman" Lednicki: " yes I do" Wilm:" I helped him tell him I am here please " Lednicki:" what is your name " And well he tells him his name but lednicki doesn't hear it
Lol what? Szpilman found out about the german soldier being captured by Russians in 1950. When he found out, he tried every single thing to help the german and to set him free but the russians refused to release him. The german even wrote letters to his wife mentioning the names of jews he helped, and dispite his efforts, he couldn't be free because russians didnt wonna free him. He later died in 1952.
mitra iranii Fegelein survives EVERYTHING!😂 Funnily enough, the German actor Thomas Kretschmann played a German officer who died in Stalingrad in „Stalingrad“ (1993), Hermann Fegelein in „Downfall“ and here, Wilm Hosenfeld in „The Pianist“. Or is it all the same guy, tripping from one WW2 antic into the next?🧐

The thing that touched me was the way he wrote in his diary since the years 40-41: he knew that the war would not end well for the germans, because he saw too much cruelty and "he who has lost humanity cannot win" . I can't accept that he died as a prisoner! he didn't deserve it.
I'd love to read his complete diary but it was only published in German...
So sad, his not fault.
Not his*
I cried after watching this movie 😢💔💔 . My heart broke that how much a human can be cruel to one another. How a good man suffers just coz of some BULL SHIT hearts and black souls which are filled of hatred .
Can someone pls write down the original german dialogue ? I am learning it so I am very intrigued in knowing the original dialogue.
I'm not a native speaker but this is what I could hear.
- Sie sind Musiker?
- Ja.
- Kennen Sie zufällig einen Kollegen, den Pianisten, Herrn Szpilmann, polnischer Rundfunk.
- Doch. Natürlich kenne ich Herrn Szpilmann.
- Ich habe Herrn Szpilmann geholfen, während er sich versteckt hielt. Sagen Sie ihm, dass ich hier bin. Sagen Sie ihm bitte. Sagen Sie ihm, mir zu helfen.
- Wie heißen Sie?
- Hosenfeld.
- Wie?

Can anyone please translate what the German officer said in this video ?
It would be of great help . Please 🙏
He asked the man on the outside “Are you a musician?” And the man said “Yeah.” And Wilm asked him ‘did he know the Brody’s character?’ The name escapes me atm. He said “of course I do” and then Wilm says he helped hide him and that if he found him tell Brody’s character where he was. This was so his account as a Jew would save him. The musician found him playing for a Polish radio and brought him back at a later date presumably to find nothing there. We learn the officer was tortured in a POW camp in the USSR and later died of a heart attack in 1952, never being rescued in time regardless of saving multiple Jews during the War.
Germany for every love you from Jordanian
0:00 - 0:11 kinda the same to Japanese Imperials from Chinese and American POWs.
What the German officer is saying here????
Can someone translate......
Vishal Rawat he asked him if he was a musician and if he knew szpilman. Then he said he helped him when he was in hiding and to tell him he’s in there
@@dominickarellano879 thanks for answering,
That was sort of irony there saviour asking for help.
Vishal Rawat Ironic, yes. Saddening even, when you think about how Hosenfeld died later after months of torture in a soviet prison, without ever seeing his wife, five children or Szpilman again.
years of torture actually
@@dominickarellano879 was szpilman the only person he saved? because why would szpilman be the first one he asks to help?
Mr German officer he look so helpless fell so bad for him 😓
they truly fought the wrong enemy
Maybe someone can explain me what the russian soldier is shouting?? It might be "уходите" (go away) but it Sounds more like "покадите"?? What does he actually say?
Проходи
@@berliozmeister Thanks man! Спасибо
FEGELIN FEGELIN FEGELINNNNNNNN
Does He Speak German in this?
MegaMr46 The officer? Yes. The Polish buddy of Szpilman‘s? Yes.
no, it's chinese
The title LMAOOO
That's why hitler can't find fegelein in the bunker
This is a parody waiting to happen.
sad, he wasnt saved
What 😳
So which one is the fegelein?
Bang Jul Fauzie The German officer with the banged up arm, who talks through the fence and is thrown to the ground by the Russian afterwards.
Fegelein is a joke that came to prominency after the film The Fall, the name of the officer in the video was Wilm Hosenfeld.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Oh my god why are they taking prisoners they're supposed to do for mother russia .sorry I'm not Russian just saying
I actually need Translation
German wilm: "are you a musician"
Lednicki" yes I am "
Wilm:" do you know a colleague of your szpilman"
Lednicki: " yes I do"
Wilm:" I helped him tell him I am here please "
Lednicki:" what is your name "
And well he tells him his name but lednicki doesn't hear it

Can any one please translate what he said in German ?

What did german say🤔
Poor him
That German soldier Is out of U-571 film
And the one in Valkyrie, The Downfall and pretty much every nazi movie
@@olivier01234 WW2 film you mean
Ya missed tha part where he said
German fuckers
This German soldier saved the Szpilman... But szpilman he didn't saved him 😭.... The German soldier died in 1957.
1952
Couldn't* save him
Lol what? Szpilman found out about the german soldier being captured by Russians in 1950. When he found out, he tried every single thing to help the german and to set him free but the russians refused to release him. The german even wrote letters to his wife mentioning the names of jews he helped, and dispite his efforts, he couldn't be free because russians didnt wonna free him. He later died in 1952.
Hosenfeld...... Field of pants? My German sucks
Oh my god feigelien manged to escape but was captured by Russians 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
probably for committing too much antics on Hitler
mitra iranii Fegelein survives EVERYTHING!😂
Funnily enough, the German actor Thomas Kretschmann played a German officer who died in Stalingrad in „Stalingrad“ (1993), Hermann Fegelein in „Downfall“ and here, Wilm Hosenfeld in „The Pianist“.
Or is it all the same guy, tripping from one WW2 antic into the next?🧐
@@violentscorl697 I have seen the lower quotation marks in German works, are you German? is it so common to use those?
Kriegerdammerung Yes, I’m German :)
And yes, that’s the typical way of using quotation marks. We use „“ , while “” is what you’ll use in the US or UK.
It looks like the Germans were outnumbering the Russians in this piece so wtf
😔😔😔
