War is hell for all involved. Sometimes there is no choice. But, for those that have fought most would say at all cost AVOID WAR. The stories of soldiers from all sides shows the desperation and despair.
Two of my Dads Uncles served in the German Army on the Eastern Front...both were captured...survived captivity and returned to Germany in 1949. I was born and raised in Canada and the only thing I was told by my Grandmother is that when they came home they were in " a wretched state" and not "recognizable." War is hell.
Hearing the echoes in this memoir from the thoughts of a soldier, a husband, a fatherd, a son, a, missing person, a dead man who experienced the horrors of war.
Interesting and informative excellent photography job making it easier for viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Orator presented the documentary very well. Historians did a very good job presenting actual facts from fiction. Class A research project. Rough combat operations on both sides of the conflict. Special thanks to the red army officer's diary. Making this documentary possible!!!
Fantastic soldiers on both sides of the Eastern front conflict. Ironically which ever side they were on , they were both having to fight and die for absolutely bestial regime's.
@@clovergrass9439 but in practice not everybody enyojed it, I didnt live at those times so I not judge it without experiences but it’s more complex just say good or bad. I think
The war in the eastern front during world war 2 is the most destructive and most of the battle was written in the book especially the battle in stalingrad.battle of kursk.seige of Leningrad etc.
When you equate everything to the same level, you lose yourself. There was a good and bad in WWII. When that differentiation is gone, so goes our humanity.
The Russians fought for their mother land, and the Germans same as America and NATO fought to invade and steal wealth and spread their filth culture!!!
I have read quite a few books and diaries written by soldier survivors of the Eastern Front. It is very striking how much more insightful, observant and analytical they are about the folly of this blood-soaked armageddon that any of the generals or commanders on the front. "The devil knows what the stupidity is of this alcohol."
the walls and ground of German trenches often were insulated with thick pine tree branches. They were deeper and comfortable for sleeping in and the pine trees were aromatic. The Russian solders were peasants, such comforts did not even occur to them.
If only the political leaders, generals, and high ranking officers would fight each other in. the battles and let the soldiers stay home with their families. There would be a lot less wars.
Communism/Fascism, what a sad fate for the armies of both sides that awaits them in this Eastern Front campaign meat grinder. It seems here that the Ukrainian peasants by their lack of generosity to the Russian soldiers harbored no real gratitude towards them. Under this foreboding it is very interesting how this plays out today with the "special operation" carried out by Russia to invade the Ukraine.
Why would you welcome Mosc🐀s into your country after the Holodomor Genocide that murdered 5 million of your people and the other mass murders after WWI? The Nazis were the lesser evil initially and seen as liberators by millions of people against their communist oppressors and the traitors.
Socialist doesn't mean communist. So the fact that there where still private (and I use that word charitably) business, doesn't mean that Nazi Germany wasn't socialist. The abolishment of private property rights, the nationalisation of most industries And the leading corporations becoming subsidiaries of the state and the states ownership of the national market by definition meant that Nazi Germany was a socialist state. They where also very nationalist. Hence them being National Socialists. That's not a double speak name, that's just a name that is accurate in it's description.
12:17-12:46: the reason Y so many russians and jews lost their lives during this war, because a large number of Russian jews in key elements of Stalin's (Satan's) govt took part in the largest, single mass massacre of human lives just a decade before this war. 24 million Soviets and 6 million Jews (most of them dying on the eastern front.) Ironic, because an entire continent of Europe, and they comprised of half of casualties. Stalin did coin the phrase "concentration camp." Although, looking back on history, it is odd to say this was because of karma. If you study all the "civilization" that came to be who have blood on thier hands, taking part in massacres that killed millions, or a large percentage of thier populations, those who took part in a massacre rarely ever saw any sentence against the crimes they committed. A few of Hitler's inner circle died, but far more Germans escaping to south america by a couple of thousand. I would think because Jews are the descendants of Christ and are planet is being watched by those who created it, Jews are put at a higher level than all other species of humans. Stalin's purge killed millions upon millions and up until WW II it was the worst atrocity one single individual took upon human life. WW I was a collective effort. it may be just a coincidence, but looking back on history, it's hard to say, "IT'S NOT." ttt
My opinion is that its a shame these videos are done with a mechanical voice as it really bothers me and seems lazy on your part. You asked for my opinion well there it is.
He's doing it for us, he probably thinks this will be more comfortable for us than his real voice, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and I concentrate on what he says, rather than how he says it. I really like the stories he choses, a nice change from Hitler the monster and Churchill the hero... but sometimes it's too sad, and I get emotional, so I have to go get some milk or something!
Amazing soldiers from both sides of the Eastern Front conflict n' no matter which side they were on, they both had to fight and die for the utterly bestial scheme ! ...
This is actually a diary from a Soviet Ukrainian soldier. I suspect that the Russian have always been using its ethnic minority people to be their cannon fodder whenever possible, considering the total Ukrainian losses were between 40 to 44 percent of the total casualties of the USSR during WWII. Same is also true during the current Russian invasion into Ukraine as Russian minority groups have suffered the most casualties based on percentage of population.
The ukrianian Military dead total was 1.3m The russian Military dead total was 5.7m The entire Soviet Military dead total was 8.7m How is 1.3m 40-44% of 8.7m? It's not even 40% of 5.7m And the fact that the Soviets suffered some of their worst defeats in ukraine would say that 1.3m was lucky. Regardless of your feelings on the current war, do not use propoganda to distort history.
And if you are going to say you are including Civilian deaths. Then in total the number comes to about 30.1% of total Soviet casualties. And since the Ukrianians where the USSR's second largest ethnic group outside of Russia combined with the fact that some of the heaviest fighting took place in Ukraine Combined with the fact the Germans sent all the grain in Ukraine to Germany causing a famine Combined with the fact Ukriane had a large Jewish minority group Means that 30.1% is probably to be expected and isn't being used as cannon fodder. And especially not being cannon fodder for the Russians since the head of state of the USSR wasn't Russian, the second most powerful Soviet general was Polish and the fourth was Ukrianian. Which means that even if they where cannon fodder (which the math proves they where not) then it wasn't Russian making them so.
@@davidbowie50yearsofbowiean23 exactly. Stalin did cause immense suffering and death to the Ukrainians in the 1930s, but let's not use modern day events to distort history.
The story of Ukraine on WW2 is nuanced but also ugly. Following the Holodomor, very many Ukrainians were very anti-USSR. Ukraine was also a hotbed of antisemitism and had long been so. The arrival of German troops gave anti-Soviet Ukranians the chance to seek revenge on their Stalinist former overlords. It also gave Ukranian antisemites the chance to deal brutally with their own prejudices. There were many heroic Ukranians engaged in the War between 1941 and 1945. But there were many whose actions remain a terrible stain on their country's history. One cannot generalise. It is nuanced. There were similar situations in Poland and Belarus amongst other regions.
The diary is a fascinating glimpse into the realities that a common solider experienced. My only criticism is the AI generated oration; it's quite bad, particularly when words are mispronounced, and inflection, pauses, and sentence stops are unnatural. I found it a distraction.
At least you can see that not everything what’s said is a true. It can be a story what someone wrote and said “ it’s a true story based on red army officer “diary” My grandpa fought for Germany in WW2 and all his friends and people around him can never put so much material together as this channel but have say that my grandpa says that Germans “ diaries” are kinda accurate

Boy, this particular robot voice is really offensive. It’s when the voice has a hiccup that it almost hurts my brain.

War is hell! The young die and the old politicians get richer and more corrupt
these diaries are priceless
Thank you, my regular viewer!

It sure is. You'd think after all the examples of it, we'd stop having them.
Amazing they returned. They are the few from the German side. The horrors they witnessed and endured.
I have no idea why they survived...or how.
@@seanb.4712 I do know they were regular army
War is Glory!
The horrific Eastern Front through the eyes of one soldier and very real.
Are you looking to see if there are any Japanese or Italian diaries? Those would be very interesting to hear.
I don't think Italians were able to write tbh, they seemed to be only able to run.
Hearing the echoes in this memoir from the thoughts of a soldier, a husband, a fatherd, a son, a, missing person, a dead man who experienced the horrors of war.
Excellent narration very touching thank you

Very interesting and so emotional..thanks for sharing, you channel is fascinating
I enjoy listening.
But my heart aches afterwards.
Very timely. Thanks for posting.
An absolute gem of a document thank you
Diaries from soldiers are very interesting because they don't lie.

Good stuff and very educational. Keep it coming.
Very professional treatment of battles . Great education and of value for every student of war. Maj Gen IA
Well done mate .

"Backslash"? Military Club's robovoice needs some serious fine tuning. (And the other, older-sounding voice sounds more natural.)
the walls and ground of German trenches often were insulated with thick pine tree branches. They were deeper and comfortable for sleeping in and the pine trees were aromatic. The Russian solders were peasants, such comforts did not even occur to them.
Yes, they were horrible retches
Very good anology
The unit probably got wiped out. Sad as it is, war always kills the young the old…Everything😢
How do you know?
@@robertsettle2590 I said probably and because German soldiers didn’t really take a lot of Russian soldiers. It’s a pretty good assumption.

Political instructors in each platoon. That used to such an absurd thought.

Great Ukrainian soldier.

Never had a chance
little did he know his great great grandchildren would be fighting the russians in ukraine
The beauty of this is that they talk about Ukraine :)
They would be ashamed of what is modern day Ukraine. One of the most corrupt governments in the world.
@@jeffreyval9665 you mean Ukraine is one of the most corrupt government in the world?
I liked the old voice better, it sounded friendlier. This new one sounds mechanical.
What a terrible war. lnteresting channel.
Computer-read? With many cutoff part-sentences and omissions, the original must be tough to read.
If only the political leaders, generals, and high ranking officers would fight each other in. the battles and let the soldiers stay home with their families. There would be a lot less wars.
Epic
I'm literally going to re-voice these in my voice.

Wouldnt call it laziness. After watching some of the maker's previous narratives, its clear that english is not his first language.

Couldn't someone try to translate these so that it made sense?

just found this channel and see i have countless of hrs watching these, but the android voice is a bit annoying. good contet tho.
Thanks! I am working on a solution to this problem.
Interesting and awful at the same time, goin through the hells of war while the fat cats play with their lives like a game of chess
Slava Ukraine! Love and respect from Bulgaria. Biite rashistite do smart!

Sceptical
They allowed officers to keep a diary in Stalin's Red Army!
Ukraine yes, Russia no.
This one was not as good as MC's other (mostly German) diary posts.
Wellmade Doc...but you blow it up with this creepy computer voice.
Bro wtf is happening all yours videos are disappearing
He went to the bathroom today!!! Was it a pee or a pooh?
Just bake the potatoes
You've got to admire the Japanese. They ate the enemy.
Need a better narrator.

I'm not so much into Germany's agenda. But that seems to be yours. Please share th e US Army's 14th, during WW2
We have to take these diaries stories with the grain of salt and wander are they real ? ,or make up crap ? , only the narrator know for sure .
Why would a soldier lie in his personal diary?
@@colincampbell4261 how would you know the diary is real ?
