My Dad landed on Normandy and was served under Patton in the 376th. He drove a wrecker. He received scrap metal in his head during the battle of Ardennes. But made it back thank God. He also took lots of photos when he could. Thank you for this review. All of these men were great men.
Whenever I go back to subjects like the Malmedy, Wereth 11 and Biscari massacres, it makes you wonder just how many massacres are still unknown to the public. How many committed by both the Axis and Allies were taken to the grave by those who committed it?
oh you mean the things that always happen when there's a war??? Been happening since the beginning of war, the idea of war crime is still new, massacres were always the norm.
There was also the Wereth 11, Sturmbahnfuhrer (Major) Gustav Knittel commanding officer of the 1st SS Division's reconnaissance battalion was responsible for that one.
Can you do a video on the Kaminski brigade? It was an SS nazi division comprised primarily of Soviet POWs. The atrocities of the brigade was so extreme, that even other nazis were horrified and disgusted by them. The leader of the brigade was even court martialed by other nazis and executed for his groups atrocities. The Kaminski brigade should not be confused with the Dirlewanger brigade, although they often collaborated and commited atrocities together in the Eastern front.
😢👎 WAR!!! 💔 …like murder, solves nothing but brings more heartache and problems past, present and future! Sometimes I think ‘mankind’ is heading for FUTILITY…and a poisoned dying 🌏 planet! 😢
What needs to be remembered is that there were times for all sides in this conflict when taking prisoners wasn’t an option for various reasons. And although it’s barely mentioned because history is written by the victors , allied units also performed attrocities.
Fucking love this channel. The amount of research put in earned my respect but to be honest I knew it would be good when he announced he was making this channel. My only suggestion would be finding a classic opening statement. Not this cake tastes baked obviously, but adding one on would make this even better. Just my opinion. Add a little happiness to somber subjects. Maybe a closing line? 😅
Video about SS Division Totenkopf would be sort of interesting because most of the original members came from concentration camp guards. One of their war crimes was the Le Paradis massacre in 1940. The head of the division until 1943 was Theodor Eicke who was the inspector of the concentration camps.
War crimes met with war crimes. So no good actions by anyone here, the germans were bad, the Americans actions in response to the Germans actions were bad. The last lines are very important, war crimes by any side are still war crimes and should not happen. The survivors of the massacre lost the most, there's no way they were okay after this.
Please do a video about the Werewith 11. They were black troops who had been separated from their unit and were lost. In trying to get to American or Allied lines they were captured by an SS group. They were tortured, mutilated and shot. Because of the chaos and inaccurate record keeping no single SS commander was prosecuted.
Regardless of if those people were brought to justice or whatever, these types of people would still be around. When we remember these events, it's important to know that these people weren't born monsters, but rather normal people that committed atrocities. This could all happen again.
So, I am from Germany. And my grandpas fought for the Wehrmacht, one of them in the ardennen offensive. I can say without a doubt that we had the same enemy back then like today. Just read the quote from your President Woodrow Wilson 1913 and you will understand.
Your insight & knowledge is fantastic, these tnings must interset you ,THANKS FOR SHARING THOSE THINGS YOU HAVE FOUND INTERESTING & EDUCATIONAL...I CANT STAND EVIL & OUR WORLD HAS BEEN MADE UO OF IT ..
I can think of no examples of true justice. Only men initiating violence on men who initiate violence on other men because initiation of violence on non violent people is wrong. To imagine that because some men did so under the banner of a flag that form of justice is in some way “true” or redemptive, not only mandates one turn a blind eye to the process by which a nation is formed, but also says nothing of the funding governments use in this quest for true justice. Of course this funding being the spoils a coercive practice known by its euphemism “taxation”. To take a man’s hard earned income in the name of protection, he didn’t ask for and can not refuse, justified by the claim that without said protection men would steal, assault or kill. Does the flaw in this reasoning really need to be pointed out? I suppose it does, until we view patriotism and nationalism as the archaic remnants of human history that they are, as bugs not features of homosapiens rapid rise to the top of the food chain those who see beyond must continue to question that which seems so obvious to the masses. It is that which never gets questioned that goes on unchanged.
My hope is people will listen to your last couple sentences here and look inward. My assumption is, none who should, actually will, and the cycle will continue. Humans are awful.
What? I only see one wrong, which were the S.S. who got away with brutally executing hundreds of soldiers and burning entire villages with civilians inside their own homes, tossed screaming babies into huge pits full of dead bodies and then buried them alive underneath the dirt, sent tens of thousands of people into industrialized death camps that worked, starved, gassed, tortured, and experimented on many Jews, Catholics, and ethnic minorities till they met their premature end. I’m sorry, but some S.S. fascists getting roughed up while being imprisoned, and only a few of them got to receive real justice like Pieper, is that the second wrong you’re talking about?
The allies committed war crimes at a ratio of 1/7 compared to the axis. Most American war crimes were retribution for axis war crimes. So no they shouldn’t
@@Johnnysabboy when your nation helped free Europe from violent white supremacist fascists and racists who attempted to exterminate a entire religion you get some leeway when it comes to war crimes on said fascists who attempted to exterminate a whole religion.
And now make a video about the fact that there broke out a firefight between American GI''s and the German soldiers. In the crossfire the American POW's tried to escape while the battle raged. Some of the pow's got hit in the crossfire, and some got shot due to their to attempt to escape. This is the true story about Malmedy. And for the last part about civillians getting killed. Yes unfortunally it happens. But also the Allies were killing thousands, or even tens of thousands civillians every day with the indiscriminate bombing of entire german cities. When did i see the 8th airforce commander "Doolittle" or "Arthur Harris" go to trail for this warcrime? Whatabout all the bombercrew actually throwing the bombs? This is called "Hypocritical".
The level of research you put into these videos is phenomenal❤

I always think about this with WW1 how many atrocities were committed that absolutely nobody knows about only the people involved

@44SWAGNUM-MAGA5 No, $hit Sherlock. Good job pointing out what they basically said with your own little touch of condescension.
Well if anyone is interested there is a guy here (UA-cam) that goes around interviewing the remaining WWII vets that are willing to share stories.
A lot more than we could ever be aware of, I'm afraid..,mah dearest ditgee-apple.

How did the voice not give it away?!😆❤
@@ingridfong-daley5899 huh? The voice is what gave it away. Im just speaking on my initial click. Once i heard the voice i left the comment.
Crazy Video, I live 20 minutes away from Malmedy and never heard of this execution
You should be a narrator of audio books. I enjoy your voice, soothing to myself. Thanks again
You should cover the Albanska Golgota, the Serbian retreat through Albania in WW1, it was quite bad and it isn’t talked about enough
I second this! So much WWI history taught in the west never really focuses on the eastern side of things!
I always enjoy when you upload a new history video. I especially love learning about WW2, so thank you for this
I didn't realise that Disturban had a Disturban History channel. You should do a crossover promo episode
I only knew about Disturban History lol
Thought u said p*rno

It’s weird how in the film Battle of Bulge Joachim Peiper was replaced by some Wehrmacht panzer officer.

just like in the movies the avengers are heroes
Shout out to the movie Saints and Soldiers. Its based on this
Far, far too many of these guys got off and were allowed to go free. The spread of their sickness was not stopped, it persists today.
Regardless of if those people were brought to justice or whatever, these types of people would still be around. When we remember these events, it's important to know that these people weren't born monsters, but rather normal people that committed atrocities. This could all happen again.

shouldnt the allies face trials for war crimes too?

The allies committed war crimes at a ratio of 1/7 compared to the axis. Most American war crimes were retribution for axis war crimes. So no they shouldn’t
Culpability doesn’t exist for the winners, unjustly.
