      @@leannageyer943 As with all symbols, and crosses in particular, the meaning is whatever it means to you. For example, the triangle formed by the roof and the crossbar could be seen as reference to the Holy Trinity. Alternatively it could be viewed as a symbolic enclosure, representing the tomb of the Resurrection, or perhaps the outline of a church.
      A common interpretation is more pragmatic; a roof, actual or symbolic, to protect the cross from snow and rain. It's easy to understand why Christians want to protect an image of the Cross, just as comfort is gained from remembering that the Cross itself offers protection for us all.

Let's play pretend I'm in the mood let's pretend America never murdered and tortured...lets pretend we had to drop a second atomic bomb....lets pretend that America has not gone to war more times in the 20th century than any other country or all countries combined..lets pretend America didn't give Iraq chemical weapons in there war with Iran. These Nazis were German soilders that followed orders or died ....War is Hell that not pretending

    You should have mentioned that Peipers conviction was secured via torture. That is the reason the court overturned his conviction. Also, an American POW who was an officer, and beside Peiper at some point, during the Battle of the Bulge, is on record hearing Peiper order his men to treat POWs properly and have them sent to the rear.
    I pulled this from memory, a book I read long ago, "The Devils Adjutant'. It is about Peiper and his actions during and after the war.

    As a young Scottish soldier my grandfather took part in the liberation of Bergen Belsen concentration camp. He never got over the horrors he saw there. Heaps of naked,emaciated corpses ,the smell so bad that to get to sleep he had to hold a dirty stock below his nose,AND STILL the locals said "we never knew". But if a kid under ten was asked about the camp he would cheerily say "that's where they kill jews isn't it".
    Tragically on the few occasions German civilians strongly protested in even numbers of a few thousand the Nazi regime caved,releasing arrested jews and not punishing the protesters. Of course by 1942 things were different,but even Nazi bigwigs said after the war they were surprised how easy it was to get the nation to go along.

      This all went on a few years ago, and filmed sometimes in full HD, by ISIS. The lines of soldiers wearing ordinary clothes lined up & shot. The lust for more creative, outlandish means of killing inc. everything from an upright shackled man being crushed under a tank track, 5 guys in a locked car hit by a RPG to a group of men with Det cord looped around each neck and detonated, a mortar slung in the midst of another group and detonated to the halal killing of orange suited POWs slaughtered and hung on chains in a slaughterhouse as if sheep/goats. The last was done with props & full Hollywood production values.
      The members of Dearsh/ISIS were known to the group but although a lot died in the fighting, enough remain within Syrian & Iraqi prisons for hearings.
      I'm just struck by how the Nazis were hunted down but ISIS maybe not so much?

He then pointed to the MP on the left. “That was me. I was 19.” He was one of the guards at this momentous trial. When I asked him what he thought of the prisoners, he said, “We despised them.” I never forget this.

    The young man speaking here was either unaware, or deliberately omitted another reason for the stress of the Einsatzgruppen that directly led to execution by gas chambers. The prisoners of Eastern Europe and western Russia, where the Einsatzgruppen operated were also murdered with hand tools when bullet stocks ran low. Hammers, knives,pick axes, whatever came to hand. It was the use of these methods that led to the “stress” mentioned here. That really manifested as serious psychopathic mental illness in people who were probably psychopathic to begin with, but became much, much worse over a short period of time.

    Many attempts to prosecute and sue former US Secretary of state henry kissinger for warcrimed has always failed due to his mythos in the US political system.
    His policies led to the overthrow of democratically elected governments, the support of oppressive dictatorships, the bombing of countries, the earnestness of famines to dismantle governments not in US favour.

      Actually according to the "mental world" of these men - they were not at all criminals. And from a pure legal point of view - many of these deeds were not even crimes because the state did not prohibit such deeds. "Nulla poena sine lege!".
      My personal opinion is that it was ok to punish them... even though it was not legal to do so - at least in many cases.
      But actually the much bigger scandal is that most of the Nazis sentenced to prison in Landsberg - were pardoned already in the early 1950ies... Actually those who were executed just had some kind of "bad luck". Because others who committed the same kind of deeds - were pardoned soon after...

    Well done. I appreciate that you didn't end your video with a cheesy line like other WW2 composers do, like "no one cries for the men in this cemetery'. Good job

      People actually do cry for those heroes. People respect those men to the ultimate degree. Those men are the actual heroes of that war. Men who had the gumption to fight evil. Those men should be respected more than anyone in history

    We have to remember that we're ALL capable of falling into the same babarity that the nazis perpetrated. All we need is the right impetus, and we'll happily commit the same or even worse crimes against our fellow man. The only chance we have to at least try to prevent OURSELVES from going down that path is to acknowledge, internalize and accept that fact. If you're so arrogant as to think you wouldn't do what the nazis did, then you might already be lost.

      Yes, we are all capable. To simply be aware of it is a good sign, and will help you think rationally. Look at all the mass formation psychosis in the current "popular" social justice movements and political zealous.
      Knowledge is power. Use it and choose wisely, after thinking about how best you can use it.
