The Execution Of The Women Of The Battle Of Berlin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- One of the most brutal battles of the Second World War was the final one that occurred in Europe. The Battle of Berlin claimed many victims, but some of the forgotten sufferers are the German women of the city who were subjected to harrowing treatment at the hands of the Soviet Red Army soldiers. The Red Army were known for committed many crimes against women, and it is estimated that 10,000 women inside Berlin were killed by their horrific ordeals.

In WWII, all sides committed war crimes, some were worse than others, and only one side won and interprets most of the history. Comparing Soviet to current Russian behaviour is a fair equivalence - seems it’s a cultural issue

My opa survived as a 17jr old dutchman the battle of berlin. He did not like to talk about it, he must have seen real horrors
My grandparents survived German invasion and occupation in Poland and they seen lots of horror, my neighbors were concentration camp survivors and that trauma was with them to the rest of their life. They were victims of medical experiments, couldn't have their own children because of that.My city was almost leveled to the ground and my family members was taken as forced labor workers into Germany.
To sweeten all of this my country was left out for Soviet abuse for more then half century after the war.This is all done by Germany and their Nazists ideas

Thankyou for your comment.
The women of Berlin, and especially of Germany got off very, very lightly.
They were huge supporters of Hitler, who pretended he was single, while learning the malicious things Germans liked to hear.
They were bystanders of the highest level. Watched their friends and neighbours being kicked ouf of school and jobs, beaten on the streets, being forced from their homes and rounded up. ready to disappear.
I have seen footage of people gathering around and taking the belongings of those Jews.
Many took rewards for things including turning in Jews. There were many thousands of informants..in countries occupied by terror as well.
While Russian women and their children were being killed, starved to death and their villages burnt to the ground, all the German had to do was stay at home with their children and go to buy food.
They lived in absolute luxury until AFTER the World War started by Germany.
At the end of the war, Germans had a total victim mentality...moaning about how bad things were for THEMSELVES. Germans are still the SAME. They mostly love moaning, when they live with greater benefits and comfort than the the vast majority of the world.
If nearly 2 million women went on to have children after the battle, they are SO, SO, SO lucky. They got off SO lightly. And I am happy for them that they lived...and had relatively good lives.
I am glad the suicides were just due to shame....not because they had lost their grandparents parents, siblings, children and would soon die behind the "work makes you free" gates of camps they were in.
The Jewish people in one line of my family history were tortured hugely between 1933 and there after. Most were killed, quickly or slowly. The Jews who both survived and returned to their homes, were abused and told to leave by the now German inhabitants receiving stolen goods.
What lucky German women!!! Very little suffering compared to thd English with bombings, fire, and food shortages and forced into the labour force. These women look much thinner than the well fed Germans of 1945. All women in ALL the defeated and occupied countries.
Women in other parts of the world- not even in Europe suffered from shortages and the loss of their best young men.
India, Australia, U.S.
Russia, Poland, Romania, Belgium, Norway, France, The Netherlands...entire countries of women suffered for more than 4 years!!!
I am a lady not from any of those countries.
I still suffer from past trauma of two World Wars and the German cruelty. Everyone around me does.

@@BrianWMayactually..yes
@@BrianWMay sure, the ones "liberated" by Red Army counterattacks. An account by Nina Markovna recalls mass rapes along with other war crimes when the Red Army recaptured Feodosia Ukraine in December 1941. She describes the German conduct months earlier more befitting of liberators than conquerors, and describes the horror and disgust of the German units that recaptured the town at witnessing the aftermath of the soviet atrocities. Also the only accounts of mass rapes on a similar scale in the West are of various Allied units, most infamously North Africans of French colonial units in Italy in 1944. Research into rape in Occupied France by German units indicates that was not common and was dealt with harshly as a breach of military discipline. Rape cases in France oddly enough skyrocketed as they were liberated in the latter half of 1944. A person in any case has to have a really sick mind to justify such atrocities because they claim the other side did so first.
I had a professor in college who was one of the first American officers, he was in intelligence, stationed in Berlin after the war. He was still haunted, even 35 years later, by the screams of the women that he heard every night suffering the abuse of the Russian occupation forces.

@@Albon29yd Nobody said that, no need for strawman arguments.
Yes, they learned it from the Germans.
@@skunkjobb Its not a strawman. The Nazi's mass murdered millions of soviet civilians including women and children commonly burning them alive inside of town centre buildings. Germany suffered for what they inflicted. Not surprising. There is little doubt US troops did it too though likely not systematically or on the same scale. WAR IS HELL. I have known people who saw this all directly. Not pretty. One I knew well, used to assassinate Nazi's and their companions during the wars years. He never spoke about it but I read a book written decades later about such things and it named him and him team. It marked and haunted him forever. The soviets had seen the same behaviour by the Axis forces in the Concentration camps. We are seeing it again with IDF doing the same enmasse with helpless Gazans. Humanity will never change. They will always justify it with this or that.
War brings out the worst in people !

The same thing happened in the areas inhabited by Poles, but with a large German admixture: in Silesia and East Pomerania (Prussia). For Russian soldiers, everyone there was German. Meanwhile, Poles in these areas were first persecuted by Germans, and then oppressed by "liberators" on an equal footing with Germans.

I had a friend who was one of the Hitler Youth decorated by Hilter on this last excursion out of the Bunker. He later was captured by the Americans but due to the propaganda he escaped fearing the Blacks (they had ben told they were Cannibals) later captured by the British.
Hitler and the Nazis hated the black soldiers in the French occupying army after World War One who had consensual relationships with German women and then children. The Nazis called these children “Rhein bastards” and sterilised them once in power. Sorry for these women and the rape of Berlin, but Hitler had to be destroyed. As Stalin said “if a Red army solider takes some trifle after fighting through blood and fire”! That was the opinion of the day! War only generates hate.

Thank you so much sir for educating me on this extremely difficult but oh-so very important topic.
And no communists were held to be accountable for their terrible actions.
This depravity is unfortunately not specific to one group of people but is in direct reflection to the leadership and sometimes its quite intentional . I had an aunt that lived in Berlin in those chaotic days, the things those people had to endure is indescribable and yep not much has changed since.
I imagine the officers used this tactic to motivate their troops, “come on boys, win this last battle and you can do whatever you like to the women”. Definitely a morale booster.
C’est ce que le commandement américain a suggéré aux troupes de débarquement en Normandie : « les femmes françaises remercieront chaudement leur libérateurs ». Résultat, des milliers de viols sur des femmes de tout âge de la part d’un pays soit disant amis venu les libérer du nazisme.
"I imagine" right, sure you do!
Are you now projecting British Empire mentality on the Russians, or where from the depth of your soul do you pull these fantasies?😂
Right.
Absolutely wrong. The ra/pes and pillage hardened German resolve and also was simply chaotic.
The worst offenders were the NKVD controlled "penal brigades". They were so out of control in east Prussia that commander of all Soviet forces, Marshal Zhukhov, had a showdown with Stalin.
Zhukhov told Stalin the penal brigades (controlled by the Party, not the Red Army) threatened the army advance and he wanted them withdrawn from the front.
Stalin was afraid of Zhukhov's popularity with the Red army and saw him as a threat. Stalin relented. Eventually the NKVD exerted control over the brigades by force. A few brigades were completely exterm-inated by NKVD firing squads. They d!Ed in the thousands
War crimes
So nothing has changed in the Russian army after almost eighty years .
But the Germans behaved honorably towards the Russians????

The deeds were terrible & inexcusable. The story must be told. Few {if any} of the offenders were brought to justice. Most of them are now dead. Unresolved injustices of this life will be resolved by God.
And the horrific crimes committed against Jewish civilians or gypsies were brought to justice?
This is true. Certainly there was an effort to bring axis offenders to justice. Some did escape to Arabia & Latin America. A significant # of offenders were executed.
On the other hand there was no such effort to punish Soviet or Mongol offenders. The same can be said about Japanese & French offenders.

Glowboys you think? It wouldn't surprise me. NSA live doing this crap.
There is a movie about the very subject called "Woman in Berlin" and it shows the dynamics between the women and the Russian soldiers. It is a very good movie if you can find it. I saw it on Netflix but I don't think it is currently available. Do try to find it. One of the impressions from the film is that this same thing was done to the women in the USSR and it was payback. The German soldiers were cruel and inhumane when they were in Russia, and while there is never an excuse for this behavior we know that war brings out the beast in human beings. Just look at what was done to the prisoners of the concentration camps and at Babiyar!

@@ReadTheHoaxof20thCentury what a smart comment based on no historical sources about a so called "real history" probably known by only you and the little voices in your head i suppose.
First of, they were various nationalities and not just Russians.
Secondly scale matters. Rape will occur as a crime of opportunity and unlike murder is a monstrosity. So considering the Russians were raping like the Japanese and the Germans were raping like the Allies - big difference in numbers and penalty.
Thirdly, 39-41 Soviets danced with the devil and thought they could get away with it.
Also, the war was dragged on. Many units were ready to surrender but knew they faced certain death if they did. And as the war came closer to Berlin, it became about damage control rather than defense - that's why soldiers from the western front were redeployed to the east to slow the red army and enable quicker gains for the Allies while that was still an option.
Imo the most abhorrent atrocities committed by the Germans beside Auschwitz, were the "POW" camps for the Soviets were three million starved to death and had to cannibalise to survive.
Also the network of war brothels was a disgusting thing.
My wife's family got rather "lucky" if it can be called that. The Germans shipped off a considerable amount of women from the village to work in munitions factories - most came back to the village and unviolated.
Out of 3000 pre-war Jews only about 100 returned and most went to Israel after. The Jews really got the worst hit and if you got particularly unlucky they would experiment on you before the gas chamber.
Russia lost in the war 27 million dead. And yes the Germans did way more bad things to Russians than the other way around. Germany captured in the first 6 months of the war 6 million Russian soldiers...... Most of them died in captivity...... The first trial in auswitch for the gas chambers.... Was on Russian prisoners of war. So yes Russia was very angry..... And these days it looks like history might repeat itself again.

But, no more harrowing than the experiences of the people in the countries that had been invaded, especially in the East of Europe, or the victims who were deported to the camps and murderded there.

I want to thank you for getting this right. Just a few minutes ago, I blocked a channel that has very similar content--but they didn't bother learning to pronounce anything, and their delivery was a bit strange and distracting from the content. You're simply reading the script, the way it's supposed to be done. I haven't caught any mispronunciations, either...not that I'm an expert in anything besides English.
Nearing the end, I was amused greatly to learn that they were stealing toilets back then, too. The fact that they're still that short on toilets certainly says something about the Russians. I mean, I don't know how well supplied the Ukrainians were during the Soviet era, but I suspect they had more toilets than the Russians did, even then. Heh.
The funny thing is that hundreds of companies produce toilets in Russia, and until recently they were exported to Ukraine, which did not have its own toilet production. A toilet in Russia costs less than lunch at McDonald's. It’s funny to read the nonsense of fools who believed in Ukrainian propaganda.

Well, if you win, you need not have to explain; but if you lose, you should not be there to explain.
Why is the Einsatzgruppen excuse always applied to justify crimes of the soviet army? The Germans where not excused for shooting hostages after partisan ambushes. Or for not taking prisoners after discovering raped and slaughtered civilians killed by the enemy. Germans where often convicted for just being in the wrong place the wrong time while almost no soviet or allied war criminal was ever brought to justice. Some 15 millions of Germans where expelled from their homes and regions, of which some 2 millions where killed either directly or after rape, torture and starving. And that was only the tale of eastern Europe whereas the western allies did their share too. So why hasn´t the world become a better place after this genocide against the Germans?

Germans had no food, scarce ammunition, only a hand full of tanks and artillery, old men and boy soldiers, untrained civilians...They were doomed. Now go back to sleep, kid
Por fin está apareciendo la verdad. Demasiado dolorosa.
UNKNOWN STORIES OF WW2. GOOD FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THIS!!
It is interesting that Russian soldiers who at this point had family, friends and neighbors being tortured and killed by Stalin, felt the need to avenge their losses by going after German women and not Stalin. Stalin who exterminated millions of his own people was allowed to peacefully die in his own bed and never faced the wrath of the russian people in the way the losing Germans civilians did. . And i have no love for the WWII germans who looked the other way to the nazi's atrocrities. But This was just pure horror inflicted by russian soldiers who had zero moral guidance from their own leadership.
Why dont you talk about Rheinwiesenlager. Where Millionen of innocent Germans were kicked by the US soldiers
Why is it that there are thousands of views and hardly any comments???
you tube censoring again
all the comments about russians trying to justify themselves are being deleted
NSA glowboys
Bad war crimes, but german Wermaht (not even worse SS) had habit to kill civilans as they wanted, by every sadistic way they coud think of.
In my county they shot 100 civilians for every german soldier killed, they fought it whoud scare civilians to stop resisting. In one case they took kids from high schools and shot them by mashineguns. Several hungreds of them. Dont compare germans and russians, most of those that comited rapes where from either penal platoons or from far east provinces of Soviet union.
They where wrong.
Soviet Propaganda
It’s funny that some Russian fools have been taught this lie about raped German women.
They haven't changed much.
1945. The year both Germany and Japan realized what 'play stupid games, win stupid prizes' is.
Funny old thing - the 'red army' hasn't changed at all in 80 years!
You won't believe it but humans haven't changed for centuries 😂
@@myvictory8294 Well some haven't!
Goofy ahh, i watch CNN and BBC and do not read any books comment.
Try to navigate yourself through propaganda
@@brianpreval5602 no army has. European. USA and Canadian armies historically and currently rape thier own female members. No female is safe. Soldiers are animals.
brian, U are foolish and ignorant. :)
Not Russian, but Belorussian and Ukrainian as these were really badly abused by the German soldiers at the beginning of the war, and they wanted revenge for their tortured and murdered relatives. Next, 4 years of brutality have not contributed to their sensitivities..
Don't try to make saints of the Russians. You make yourselves ridiculous. We know what Russian soldiers did in Ukraine in this latest war. Or the mass murder in Kathyn
The Ukrainians VOLUNTEERED for service in German army. Either upon bring captured POW or simply during German occupation of Ukraine.
Who do you think the guards were at the exterm/ination camps? Lots and lots of Ukrainians.
Many anti Soviet Ukrainian Nazi guards begged the Western allies to accept their surrender at wars end. The Americans usually said NO....but Canada took in tens of thousands of them.
Ukrainians cooperated with Germans! It was Ukrainians that the Germans used to murder Jews in today's Ukraine. We also remember the genocide committed by the Ukrainians in Volhynia - the Banderites murdered their Polish neighbors - mainly women, children and the elderly, approximately 50,000. victims.
@@nelaVanBrussel And the French know what you did on D-day - killed more of them than the defending Germans. Then plundered the country.

Play stupid games, Win stupid prizes
And who do you think gave Hitler the power to do what he did ...yes ..and now its somebody elses fault ..yes run away and hide 😮❤
Demise AND death ? ..... That's a tough day , Twice over
Considering what the Nazi’s did in Stalingrad I think they got of very lightly.
La guerra es la madre de la ilógica más aplastante.

The film Hellstorm tells of much worse. In war it seems many become uncontrollable and demonic. 🙏
I can't believe that the euro 2024 final was held at the 1936 Olympic stadium 😳,
You could see 👀 at the first half of the game behind Jordan pickford those stairs where that kid lit those fire 🔥 things,
The Olympics never did that before 1936 with the batton and tourch,
Fakin crazy 🤪
Let’s hope we don’t experience a war here in US. I’m sure we won’t be forgiving watching our loved once tortured and killed and home being destroyed. Because I doubt people who invade us will be super nice.
You should be thankful for the ocean or else...
You portrait Germans as a victims .
German women didn't deserve to be abuse by Russian soldiers, but for the first that war was orchestrated by Germany and all crimes done by them on humanity generated to that outcome. Don't you dare to show abuser as a victims and try to change the history
Not Russian soldiers - Soviet, mostly Mongolian
You should read more and not just Soviet Propaganda
@@ReadTheHoaxof20thCenturyсудя по Вашим комментарием, Вы сами подверглись пропаганде. Изучайте историю, а не шаблоны.
Only Berlin in 1945, and Tenochtitlan in 1519 were taken yard by yard. Except the Mexicas or Mexicatl soldiers never surrender. They stood in defiance to the end.
It only fell to the spanish, due to every one of the Aztecs neighbors hated them for raiding and kidnapping neighboring tribes for slaves and most importantly human sacrifice.
@electryc03 the Mexicas fought against michihuacan now michoacan, and Tlaxcala which the Mexicas never defeated. Cortezhad more than 150,000 native American allies from different nations. But still like that The Mexicatl soldiers stood in defiance
@@reggierendon2847So why they couldn’t defeat AZTECS without Cortez ? 😂
Without Cortez , those Allies did not have a chance .

Not much has changed. They are still monsters….they have no place in this world.
dfurey,,who are you talking about, explain your ignorant statement.
Makes sense.
It continues
There must be a Hell of a lot of Slavic DNA in the East Germans.
Soviet soldiers did same in Poland or any other occupied territory. They do same today in occupied Ukrainian territories (example Butcha).
"Better" should read "Bad"
Does anyone here have any idea what the Nazis did to the Russians and Ukrainians in Western USSR?
And on a far greater scale, yes.
No, they don't teach history anymore. It triggers people.
Yes. Sounds like someone is bothered by criticism of Russians.
Soviet Propaganda
@@ReadTheHoaxof20thCentury Germany got off easy compared to the Soviet Union. I already know your answer: Soviet Propaganda, whatever that means. Is it different from German Propaganda? Hitler did say Russians were an Asiatic sub human race, right?
Just imagine, whatever your opinion, whatever your side, you are just doomed to live the true horror: be a victim, or be a butcher, no other choice.
Imagine nowdays worldwide fullsize escalation...
No one wants to watch anything Russian .
Turn your head away and don’t watch.
The Russians will and always have done what ever they want to.
What a stupid comment.
Orcs remain Orcs.
Who knows about the murders and rapes on the territory of the USSR? You need watch movie come and see
Forgive me for not sending a tear only for the people who supported Hitler. And that was most of them.
I think there must have been some anti nazi people there. Too outnumbered t properly defy him.
That comment has a very Red Sea wanderer flavour to it.
I pity the Palestinians.
Your audio is harsh. Sounds like you're in a room without sound deadening material on the walls. Get a dead cat for your mic.
German soldiers committed much worse against the Poles, Russians, Czechs, Hungarians, etc. What exactly did they expect when their victims got the upper hand?
I'm not sure I agree with that
@@dindu551 German photos, German movie footage, and German records tell the horrible tale. A bloody path cut across Eastern Europe and from there Operation Barbarossa into Russia itself. There is no “I don’t agree with you” on this. It is settled and overwhelmingly documented history. I can’t tell if you are some Chinese or Iranian provocateur, or a genuine Adolf lover seeking to undo the reputational damage done by the Nazis to beautiful Germany. Germany was the pinnacle of European culture and science. Until the Adolf lovers took over. And now Germany will never recover. It is doomed. All thanks to the bizarre Adolf lovers.
Your claims are exaggerated
Your still under post WWII propaganda

And they are doing the same in. Ukraine

Aren’t the Russians still doing this in Ukraine???
Hm, no

Yes.

Nothing has changed with the russians.
Vote carefuly
Women's bodies have often been considered as part of the spoils of war. The Lusitania was packed with people fleeing the Soviet encroachment. The ship was sunk, and thousands lost their lives. The worst maritime disaster in history.
Lusitania was set up by JPMorgan to bring USA into the war so that British would not lose and fail to repay their war bonds
?????? LOL
I think you meant the Wilhelm Gust off that was sunk in the Baltic.
You mean the Wilhelm Gustloff…sunk by the Russian submarine despite being clearly marked as a Red Cross evacuation ship. 9000 dead, 6000 were children!

You are lied to about AH and WW2 and General Paton knew it.
Everything that happened to the Germans happened to the Soviets in spades. Remembrr that. I can't conjour up sny sympathy for the Germans even though it may make me a better man. I remember reading of a conversation a Soviet had with a German in Prussia. "Why did you come to my country.What did we have that you didn't have. You had paved streets,street lighting running water in your homes,sewage systems comfortable housing, so why did you come. We had none of these things.
the answer was "you had different opinions that i didnt like"
Lots of these videos about German women that were mistreated. Women from other countries. Very little information. Its only German women that are important.
But of course the Germans were perfect gentlemen when they invaded other countries
