So many crazy stories during the war. If you spent a 1000 years you still couldn't listen to them all. Each individual involved has many stories. Most of them brutal. Awful times ppl lived through but its a pleasure to learn about what happened.
the condemnation of soviet revenge against civilians always got me angry. the scale of german atrocities in soviet territory can never be matched, so why the hypocrisy? even america revenge for pearl harbor is always swept under the carpet.
@@teamrecon2685 the Chinese weren't in the Pacific though, they were in the cities on the mainland. The US certainly wasn't too bothered about unit 731 to actually follow through on the concept of justice for those poor souls.
Did you hear this band talk about Ukrainian know what is going on with Ukraine and Russia see your people don’t know your history that’s your problem go back learn your history and see why things are happening now
Latvians werent ideologically something. Latvians fought for their own country for free Latvia! FrOM Soviet scourge . Never liked soviets/russians in LATVIA
@@Croatian-Knight. Ehh, the argument for soviet armour being superior isn't a straight forward answer. T34's etc have been hugely over rated after the war. They were a decent design, but built poorly more often than not. With flawed understanding of what constitutes good protective armour as well. This is shown when you see a lot of pictures of 34's that shattered when hit. Shermans may have a smaller gun, but they are arguably the more complete and well rounded tank.
Those flak towers were so big that the allies tried to destroy them point blank after the war and couldn’t. So, they buried them, but you can still see the back of them if you went there to see them and can even still go inside them. You’d probably need special permission, I’d assume.
This documentary is very well done, I live in Berlin and I am passionate about this battle, whose signs can still be seen today if you know how and where to look, some buildings still have bullet holes. The best I have seen so far on this argument, well done guys.
Don't criticize the volkstrum, remember Winston Churchills speech about fighting on the beaches. He had the same idea of mobilizing the civilian population to fight a German invasion long enough to buy the time needed for the aristocrats to flee safely to Canada.
why didn't they have more of theses flack buildings in every city. My guess is they never taught they would be defending and hadn't the time or materials to construct more. If they had more it would have just dragged the battels out in the city for no return.✌️☘️
The announcer mentioned about the deranged mind of hitler , and I firmly agree with him. The problem with the deranged mind of hitler is that he caused the death 💀 of many, many innocent people and animals who had absolutely no control whatsoever about their own lives and deaths 😢
Honestly you can not say the Russia's are doing so good. As Germany was fighting all over the world. Russia had one front one effort all there sources one front as Germany was all over the place. One on one the out come would have been much different
Almost all factories in Europe worked for Germany; Romanian, Italian, Hungarian, Finnish divisions, as well as many formations from other countries, fought on the eastern front.
One of Hitler's lesser known quotes, "I fear only two people, God, and The Queen Mother. Why he was able to say that? He knew only to well, that like his loyal subjects, whom fought for their beloved fuhre, to death do they part, so too would the Queen Mother's loyal subjects would do the exact same for her.
We should listen to Patton got the Germans the British Americans say when the Russia we were there in 1917 after World War I and now you see the problems with Russia always remember your history people always remember your history we could’ve done it then

Yes, every time I think I’ve seen WW2 from every aspect or angle here comes something new to me!
@@JurassicEntMuzik 100%
IN NORWAY THE GERMANS STILL HAD 300,000 SOLDIERS STATIONED IN NORWAY, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN USED FOR THE BATTLE OF BERLIN.
@@ok-pj4eu see another fact I did not know
Last battle of WW2 ??? Did somebody forget about Japan !
The last battle of World War II in Europe was drawing to a terrifying conclusion.
There. Fixed it for you.
Thanks, the last major battle of WWII was the battle of Okinawa.
@@paulloya5 yep. Sure was.
I was about to say the same thing
He said in Europe , the last major battle in Europe not in the entire war @@romancatholicword528
Thank you for an excellent documentary. Students studying history will benefit enormously, England, January, 2024.
Another great show. I love the maps and the graphics. Thanks!
Well told from all perspectives.
I was impressed by Wencke when given the order to rescue Hitler he ignored it to save the 9th Army and civilians
He doesnt have the capacity to mount a counter offensive to the Red Army. So the only option he can do was to save the 9th army.
"The frantic death throws of a desperate regime." What a line.
Poor germans they've been invaded with no reason...
Pitty.....

In every country of war were barbaric ppl. Not just Russia, Germany, Japan, .....
It's unbelievable, but Germany was in the same position when they got to Russia capital but Hitler stopped it
Oh In the summer of '41 right?
The last battle of WW2 was not Berlin. There was a furious war in the Pacific that was still going on even as the Nazis surrendered.
The pacific theater was peanuts compared to the real battles in Europe
@@BlueCollaredGrit I sort of get what you are saying. The last battle took place in Okinawa and from what I have read it was brutal.
@@BlueCollaredGrit 20m Chinese say otherwise
@@teamrecon2685 I care what the facts say.
You and the Chinese can think the world is flat idgaf
@@teamrecon2685 the Chinese weren't in the Pacific though, they were in the cities on the mainland.

It’s a relatively new production but they still got a bunch of facts wrong lol
Tell us the missing facts.
It's from 2000
Did I miss something or are they not using the Nazi flag on maps. Wtf
Did you hear this band talk about Ukrainian know what is going on with Ukraine and Russia see your people don’t know your history that’s your problem go back learn your history and see why things are happening now

The Germans were fortunate that the Russians were not as bloodthirsty as the Nazis.
Hitler-Stalin same thing.
wow... this american had no idea
There is an awful lot of plausible information that says A.H. fled Berlin and ended up in Argentina.
I just can't believe that
There is more information saying he shot himself in the bunker
What B.S.! 💩💩💩
How much did the US contribute to the communist Soviets in arms and currency and just general support and encouragement?
Not that much! Soviet armor was superior anyway.
@@Croatian-Knight. Ehh, the argument for soviet armour being superior isn't a straight forward answer.

So weird watching this one of the male historians is now a chick
Yes her name is Lynnette!!
Excellent documentary. Thank you !
This Aryck Nusbacher guy is so sassy and annoying. Hes in a lot of ww2 documentaries and he sounds so uninteligent

the utter craziness and waste of war great documentary thank you
'All hope of victory long gone'? Try telling Goebbels that!
Claiming the Soviet forces/troops were civil is a stretch beyond b.s..
It was the Courland Pocket, not bridgehead - they were trapped there !
You twisted the reality out of Russian hatred. Russia defeated Germany. Your country is burning instead you cry for Ukraine 😂😂😂
The battle of berlin was fought on the oder. Berlin itself was a large scale mopping up operation.
This documentary is very well done, I live in Berlin and I am passionate about this battle, whose signs can still be seen today if you know how and where to look, some buildings still have bullet holes. The best I have seen so far on this argument, well done guys.
My German grandmother told me that she believed in "Final Victory" until the end, when US troops took her town on March 26th, 1945...
USSR
Losing any war is bad.
Losing a war your country started with the Russians really sucks.

judea declared war first..
USA lost
Definitely wasn't the last battle of WWII

Look at Western Allied atrocities and war crimes before commenting further, hypocrite
Why does Herr Oerlich's voice say "Soviet" but the translation says " Russian?"
These are last moments in Berlin where the Red Army first entered and Hitler lost the war and took his own life.
Quality needs to be greatly improved.

He knew only to well, that like his loyal subjects, whom fought for their beloved fuhre, to death do they part, so too would the Queen Mother's loyal subjects would do the exact same for her.
Sorry, sound is so soft and no subtitles, so I have to move on.
The last battle of ww2 so what did the fighting with Japan not happen and is that not part of ww2.
Why the dog? Maniac.
To first try if the venom is effective. He loved more animals than people.
