Why would you burn a copy of Schindler's List. That's so anti-Semitic. That's like burning the flag or calling an African-American the n-word. I can't believe you would put that in the comments.
In trying to interview Waycross veterans who helped liberate the camps 40 years before, all I could get was tears and racking sobs. Any denier is an SOB.
As a student of history it makes me so sick to see people doing that. I can remember seeing film in the 80s where they were disposing of corpses that had not been incinerated and it was haunting. I remember reading about how the SS inventoried every single item the victims brought with them right down to their gold teeth and the hair on their head and I remember that it was said there were still rooms and warehouses full of that stuff. The one that elicited the strongest reactions from the soldiers that liberated the camps were rooms filled with toddler and infant shoes. People who deny that it happened are completely sick in the head. People who act like there is some direct line from what happened to those people to the way Israel is today are sick in the head too. Sometimes I don't want to live on this planet anymore if I think about all the terrible people that are on it.
@ashleighelizabeth5916 I remember watching The World at War repeated on BBC 2 in the early 90's and I saw footage of concentration camp bodies filmed by an American soldier, I actually ran outside to throw up and started crying. I was 16 or 17 at the time, I've never forgotten that footage, it's burned into my mind! Quite recently, my little boy asked me who Adolf Hitler was and I had to tell him that he was a very evil man surrounded by evil people and was responsible for killing a lot of people! I told my son that he was too young for me to explain more of what those evil people did! He will eventually, very eventually learn about the second world war when he's older. What I do want him to understand is that evil like that still exists. It can and must be stopped!! I remember reading that Mel Gibson's Dad is or was a holocaust denier, the apple didn't fall from the tree in that regard! Reading your post and the details in it made me choke up!! What happened in those camps was beyond abhorrent!
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 Yep. The sobering thought is that under the right circumstances we are ALL capable of being either the guard or the prisoners. Just designating the "other" as villain will never promote the spiritual growth we need.
I mean there are idiots that think the world is flat... of course there will be dumb people that deny horrible things to try and live in their fantasy worlds.
My father DID help liberate one of the camps. His FIRST thought of it was when they were still MILES away - and the STENCH was OVERWHELMING. When they actually SAW the camp - they ALL got sick. When they all donated their rations to the prisoners - the prisoners hadn't had REAL food in so long, that it killed many of them. The Regimental Padre stopped them, then collected all the donations and made SOUP that the prisoners COULD handle. Till his dying day, His overwhelming recollection was the SMELL.

My grandfather helped bring home our POWs in the Pacific theater. 4 of the men stood out. 1 was a Marine one of the few we got back from Wake he was on the Shore Defense Batteries and his hands were beaten into clubs for daring to help sink a destroyer of Japan. Another was a survivor of the Bataan Death March had entered the war at a healthy 190 pounds was recovered weighing 80. The 3rd was an USAAF 1st Lt in the 21st bomber command as a bombardier they'd burned his eyes out for dropping bombs on Japan. The last one was an Army Nurse caught when the Philippines fell on the Rock. She'd been sent to an officer's only comfort camp and raped repeatedly for 3 years. She at first couldn't sleep unless sedated and an armed guard in her room. By the time they made San Francisco she was just needing her room guarded on the outside. My grandfather pulled most of those watches. Now for my grandmother on my dad's side I have no family left except for those that were in the USA prior to WW2. Why Hitler declared them being gypsies and others to being subhuman and sent them to Triblinca and Dachu for extermination.
In 2004, I had the opportunity to speak with Major Richard Winters in France during the 60th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy. A truly wonderful man. One of the best field commanders of the 101st Airborne Division during World War II.
I still want to go back to Europe. I was stationed there from 2001-05 with 1st Infantry Division. We deployed to Iraq in February 2004-05. Our combat patch ceremony was in front of Saddam's bombed palace in Tikrit, Iraq. It was on the 60th anniversary of D-Day invasion. I haven't visited Normandy or that cemetery nearby. Definitely want to go back to Europe for that visit, if anything.
I did a report with a visual fact board in high school about the Holocaust and the death camps. I knew that it was a black mark on the history of humanity, but I didn't know how deep the rabbit hole went until I started and finished my research. While I got an A on the assignment, I felt dirty afterward and lost myself in a book to help me feel better if not still a bit creeped out. I even remember the episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE where a Death Camp Commander returns to his former command and is haunted without mercy, pity, or remorse by the ghosts of his victims, making him feel and suffer all the same hell he put them through during that dark period of human history.

Just so everyone knows the Jews depicted in this short are actually cancer patients that were kind enough and strong enough to do this. They got paid handsomely a bit better than normal extras! And they gave them all recognition! It’s truly a one of a kind show because they used actual sick people had genuine reactions. No over use of cgi and make up. This show rocks and so does everyone in it show series and real life!
If you get a chance go to the "National Holocaust Museum " in Washington D.C. The museum is designed to make one FEEL like they are at Auschwitz. Slamming steel doors, claustrophobic feeling and the pictures. Emotions are simply yanked out of you. Very powerful.
I worked for a man who was one of the men who found one of those camps. He said it was one of the worst days of the war for him. He said it was hard to believe that anyone could o that to another human being.

Why We Fight was the best episode. The look on the soldiers faces is stunning. They are trying desperately to understand what they are looking at. The questions of what is this place and why is clearly etched on the actors faces. I've watched it a few times and am chocked up every time I see their faces.
I do remember my Uncle Charlie,going into a c. Camp,he had been a pilot,and always said " the only German he wanted to see was dead ones,it was bad, very bad
I was ten years old when my dad took me to Dachau and the preserved camp museums there when we were stationed in West German in the late 80s. I had no idea what I was in for until the moment I was able to clearly make out what the sculpture at the entrance represented. It sets the the tone that this is not a happy place you are entering. That day charted the course of my adult life, first as a soldier, then following with a decade plus with Doctors WIthout Borders. I'm glad I did what I did before I got cynical and my body and mind fell apart. And whie idealism was still alive in me and the world and the world was worth saving.
We have a lot of people from Eastern Europe in my church. We had one woman who had been in a camp during the war. After the liturgy we always have a coffee hour with food. This one particular woman would.always take an extra piece of bread or a roll and put it in her pocket. She had retired from a good job and had a nice life but she couldn't get over having being nearly starved to death in the camp 50 years before
And despite those poor guys being thin, they still weren’t as thin, ill and as sorry looking as the poor souls who were liberated during those days😢 And I’m guessing they could never reproduce the smell of the camp😢
@lizs4796 I had to Google it since I didn't know myself, but skid-row is in Los Angeles according to the results of that search. My comment about San Francisco is regarding all of their homeless encampments and people openly urinating and defecating in the streets and on sidewalks, many of whom are hardcore drug addicts, mostly fentanyl and heroin from what I've seen on the few news reports that come out of their now. Property crimes, muggings and assault are through the roof, and many of the drug addicts resemble those prisoners in the video from malnutrition. The Police don't even investigate crimes such as car or house burglaries there anymore, unless it's some rich person or politician's house or car. I've heard estimates as high as 75% of all business's in the downtown area have either closed or relocated due to the losses from theft and the aforementioned factors. Almost every major city in California also have the same issues to greater or lesser degrees. Several journalists filming in San Francisco have been assaulted, with at least two being chased by an individual brandishing an axe and others being chased by mobs carrying clubs and knives. You will rarely see any of the corporate media outlets showing the true conditions. Fox used to give reports from SF, but I haven't watched them in years and it sounds like they're becoming just as corrupt as the rest of American media. You might check out SkyNews as I've seen them do some truthful reporting about the problems in those areas even though there an Aussie news outlet, they at least seem to still be trying to report the truth. Hope I didn't bore you to death with all that. Have a good day!
My Father Served with the 66th Division and arrived in France Christmas Eve, 1944 after his Troop Ship the SS Leopoldville was Torpedoed about 6 miles out of Cherbourg. After the German Army had Surrendered, being Last, as it were, he was part of the Occupation Force in France. Members of his Outfit, including himself, were Instructed to Visit any of the Concentration Camps when ever Possible. Dad went to at least One (which one I have no idea). While living in North Carolina, one day while at home and doing my homework and listening to the TV there was a Talk Show on (I'm not sure w
(I'm not sure which one). The Host had a Guest who was Denieing that the Holocaust had happened. When my Dad returned home I fixed him a Rum and Coke while he was getting cleaned up from work. When he sat down at the kitchen table to put on his socks and shoes I told him about what the Denieing Guest had said about the Concentration Camps being made up. He looked at me in Disbelief, didn't say anything. He turned his gaze away from me. I'd seen that look before so I left him alone with his Thoughts. About 25-30min later he was still sitting at the kitchen table, the Ice had melted in his drink as he hadn't moved. That Told me All that I needed to Know about that Scumbag Denier on TV that Day. Just thinking about my Dad's Thousand Yard Stare still makes me feel Uncomfortable. Semper Fi.
When I was a child, around 4, 5 years old, my dad had pictures of a concentration camp during WW2. It showed an inmate standing, lower half of his body naked, in front of a pile of corpses. Not an ounce of fat on them. Just skin on bones. 74 years old now, just as clear in my mind as the first time I saw them.
My Dad Was There & Told Me About It Almost 60 Years Ago. Of Course, I Was Too Young To Realize It Was Only 20 Years Or So After It Happened. Thank You.
I don’t know about that. They portrayed confusion, disgust, horror, anger, sorrow pretty well, I thought. We can’t know, though. I wouldn’t say “remotely” though. I mean, I know I bought their performances.
The smell. Most of us modern people of western civilization are unable to comprehend true foulness of odor. But consider a combination of rotting human excrement, decomposing bodies and waste, all to the tune of thousands upon tens of thousands. We’re actually instinctively attuned to the smell of biological rot. I’ve read that we are even more finely attuned to the scent of human decomposition, a quirk of our early evolution perhaps. So depending on the prevailing winds, they would have almost certainly smelled the camp (even though the depicted camp seemed relatively small) from *miles* out. I know Webster says something about “the stench” when going off on the baker, but the patrol certainly didn’t act like they smelled it until they were right on top of it.
My grandmother was in the RAF during World War II. She knew some of the soldiers who found the concentration camps. She told me that the soldiers literally described it as seeing "walking corpses". Just horrifying thinking about it.
I cannot imagine how it would have felt to be a soldier coming up on one of these camps and finding these poor souls in there. My favorite line in this episode was Webster to the fat bakery chef ‘TELL ME YOU NEVER SMELLED THE SMELL!!’ with his 1911 pointed at the guy’s face.
Saying the concentration camp episode is called points makes it sound like they were keeping score. The episode is called "Why We Fight", and the title is explained by the episode.
@@robertbobbypelletreaujr2173 I know, that was the "point" of using the term to name the final episode. I was "point"ing out that they had gotten the title wrong on this video.
The horrors of war are always impactful even amongst the most professional to hardened men. Unless they’re very sadistic or cruel in nature, the person will seem unfazed by such sights brought upon them in the midst of war
My wife and I visited the concentration camp Dachau just outside of Munich 🇩🇪 Germany last August. It was sobering and emotional spending hours walking around this place, and seeing recreation of many of the original items, and many of the actual original items still on site, such as the death chamber. Many of the buildings have been destroyed over the years, but the towers and other items are still there along with many of the tools and restroom items that were used. if you’re ever in Europe, you absolutely must take the time to visit this location, and or Auschwitz in Poland, which we have not visited yet. This location that we visited was the first concentration camp was originally built to hold political prisoners, believe it, or not, and then turned into, of course of location where they would hold Jews, and other people that were murdered.
I remember the character (one pointing from the Jeep second frame of video) ran back to tell HQ. HQ asked what they found and the character responded. “I do not know what it is sir”. He was talking to Damien Lewis’s character Winters.
I have a letter from my uncle’s friend about him liberating a concentration camp and describing it. It was one of the first because of how he talked about it. Bodies stacked like cordwood. The big shots should see it he said.
My father fought in WWII in Europe as part of the Army. When I was young I asked him if he ever saw a Concentration Camp while there. He said "Thank God, No." He heard enough stories about them at that time and how the soldiers who liberated them were permanently changed and mentally scarred. But I know he had other memories that left a mark on him. Never again.
I think that the most despicable aspect, set up by the Nazis, was that sympathetic soldiers, who wanted to help, tried to feed the prisoners. That made the situation worse. How could that be?? Who could possibly know that?? It is so crazy! I can only imagine the feeling of helplessness, anger and futility experienced by the soldiers.
I visited Dachau back in the 80s, on a trip organized by our battalion chaplain. It was preserved exactly as it was on the day it was liberated, lacking only the prisoners and guards. That place gave me the fuckin willies. Most of the guys in my unit felt the same way.

Although the problem is that you can Almost never get people who are synonym and start enough to look the actual part. Additionally, there is that stench of death. I understand it's pretty much wafted on the air where you could almost walk on the smell.
Fiction is sad, but most people doesn't know the truth, truth is really sad, at the point that I don't know if I would prefer to know the truth that hurts every day or live happily like most people who ignore truth
What is shown in Band of Brothers is fictional. The camp depicted in Band of Brothers is Kaufering IV which was actually liberated by the 12th Armored on April 27, 1945 with some units of the 101st Airborne Division arriving on April 28. For dramatic purposes, Easy Company is shown liberating the camp.
Wonder how much this mini series alone helped with recruitment,and im talking across NATO. I know they got me with this show,Blackhawk Down and a childhood osession with Platoon.
When I was watching the band of brothers I wonder how they were going to represent the concentration camp scenes. They did it with honor and they showed what nobody else wanted to believe it happened.😢😢😢😢😢
Absolutely love this series. Best out there I'd say, following the move Saving Private Ryan. Can't wait to watch Pacific. Actually, I can cause I once I start it I know it won't be long til it's ending
Well, they kind of forgot about the one biggest factor, which they wouldn’t have been able to duplicate anyway… the health (or lack thereof) of the prisoners was the most striking element described by the actual soldiers who liberated them. Not many of the actors and extras were dedicated enough to starve themselves for months, I’m sure.
Those places have a bad feel to them that you can’t ignore it’s a heavy bad feeling that I still remember when we visited them and I was only like 6-7 yrs old it’s not something I ever forgot and that was over 50 yrs ago when that much evil and suffering and death happens in a place it taints the ground the whole area and never goes away it ticks me off when people say it never happened I say go there and the feeling the place gives you will change your mind. Other places where lots of deaths and suffering have happened are the same like wounded knee little big horn Antietam Gettysburg these places also have that feel to them but the worst was the concentration camps just really bad feeling there you won’t ever forget

As bad as these prisoners looked they didn't look nearly as bad as the real prisoners looked... they were like human skeletons with skin stretched over them. It was horrendous to think anyone could treat another human being in such a way that these prisoners were treated.

And I’m guessing they could never reproduce the smell of the camp😢
Have you taken a stroll through San Francisco lately?
From what I've heard, it might be getting close.
@@floydholder597 no I’m from England. Is that where skid row is?
@lizs4796
I had to Google it since I didn't know myself, but skid-row is in Los Angeles according to the results of that search.
My comment about San Francisco is regarding all of their homeless encampments and people openly urinating and defecating in the streets and on sidewalks, many of whom are hardcore drug addicts, mostly fentanyl and heroin from what I've seen on the few news reports that come out of their now.
Property crimes, muggings and assault are through the roof, and many of the drug addicts resemble those prisoners in the video from malnutrition.
The Police don't even investigate crimes such as car or house burglaries there anymore, unless it's some rich person or politician's house or car.
I've heard estimates as high as 75% of all business's in the downtown area have either closed or relocated due to the losses from theft and the aforementioned factors.
Almost every major city in California also have the same issues to greater or lesser degrees.
Several journalists filming in San Francisco have been assaulted, with at least two being chased by an individual brandishing an axe and others being chased by mobs carrying clubs and knives.
You will rarely see any of the corporate media outlets showing the true conditions.
Fox used to give reports from SF, but I haven't watched them in years and it sounds like they're becoming just as corrupt as the rest of American media.
You might check out SkyNews as I've seen them do some truthful reporting about the problems in those areas even though there an Aussie news outlet, they at least seem to still be trying to report the truth.
Hope I didn't bore you to death with all that.
Have a good day!
The episode name was "Why We Fight"
Answer “Because of the J_ws.”
My Father Served with the 66th Division and arrived in France Christmas Eve, 1944 after his Troop Ship the SS Leopoldville was Torpedoed about 6 miles out of Cherbourg.
After the German Army had Surrendered, being Last, as it were, he was part of the Occupation Force in France.
Members of his Outfit, including himself, were Instructed to Visit any of the Concentration Camps when ever Possible. Dad went to at least One (which one I have no idea).
While living in North Carolina, one day while at home and doing my homework and listening to the TV there was a Talk Show on (I'm not sure w
(I'm not sure which one). The Host had a Guest who was Denieing that the Holocaust had happened. When my Dad returned home I fixed him a Rum and Coke while he was getting cleaned up from work. When he sat down at the kitchen table to put on his socks and shoes I told him about what the Denieing Guest had said about the Concentration Camps being made up.
He looked at me in Disbelief, didn't say anything. He turned his gaze away from me. I'd seen that look before so I left him alone with his Thoughts.
About 25-30min later he was still sitting at the kitchen table, the Ice had melted in his drink as he hadn't moved.
That Told me All that I needed to Know about that Scumbag Denier on TV that Day.
Just thinking about my Dad's Thousand Yard Stare still makes me feel Uncomfortable.
Semper Fi.
@@henryblanton6992 Great read, also... *denying.
When I was a child, around 4, 5 years old, my dad had pictures of a concentration camp during WW2. It showed an inmate standing, lower half of his body naked, in front of a pile of corpses. Not an ounce of fat on them. Just skin on bones. 74 years old now, just as clear in my mind as the first time I saw them.
My uncle liberated belsen, never spoke to another german ever again.
What woud he say about Guantanamo?
@alexrolf7415 there's no comparison between the two.
@alexrolf7415 Guantanamo is a detention center for terrorists, Belsen was exclusively designed for extermination.
@@alexrolf7415 stupid question dopey - Belsen was liberated by brits for a start
Wow
My Dad Was There & Told Me About It Almost 60 Years Ago. Of Course, I Was Too Young To Realize It Was Only 20 Years Or So After It Happened. Thank You.
I loved this episode. It conveyed the innocence and goodness of the American soldier.
Something tells me, despite their efforts, this wouldn’t have even come remotely close to the impact of stumbling on an actual concentration camp.
A film will never truely depict the holocaust ever, it's too extreme
@@edwardhutchinson4207I was in the main camp as a kindergarten kid tour guide told us not to hear any voices but we did!
I don’t know about that. They portrayed confusion, disgust, horror, anger, sorrow pretty well, I thought. We can’t know, though. I wouldn’t say “remotely” though. I mean, I know I bought their performances.
The smell. Most of us modern people of western civilization are unable to comprehend true foulness of odor. But consider a combination of rotting human excrement, decomposing bodies and waste, all to the tune of thousands upon tens of thousands. We’re actually instinctively attuned to the smell of biological rot. I’ve read that we are even more finely attuned to the scent of human decomposition, a quirk of our early evolution perhaps.
So depending on the prevailing winds, they would have almost certainly smelled the camp (even though the depicted camp seemed relatively small) from *miles* out. I know Webster says something about “the stench” when going off on the baker, but the patrol certainly didn’t act like they smelled it until they were right on top of it.
The name of the episode was "Why We Fight"
My grandmother was in the RAF during World War II. She knew some of the soldiers who found the concentration camps. She told me that the soldiers literally described it as seeing "walking corpses". Just horrifying thinking about it.
I cannot imagine how it would have felt to be a soldier coming up on one of these camps and finding these poor souls in there. My favorite line in this episode was Webster to the fat bakery chef ‘TELL ME YOU NEVER SMELLED THE SMELL!!’ with his 1911 pointed at the guy’s face.
that wasn’t “points” . that episode was titled “why we fight”
I'm watching it right now
I love how we all know more about this episode than you.
One of the best war movies ever made.
@@annhopkins9172its a mini tv series not a movie.
@@annhopkins9172except it wasn't a movie...
Saying the concentration camp episode is called points makes it sound like they were keeping score.
The episode is called "Why We Fight", and the title is explained by the episode.
"points" are added up to decide who goes home when
@@robertbobbypelletreaujr2173 I know, that was the "point" of using the term to name the final episode. I was "point"ing out that they had gotten the title wrong on this video.
I thought that the episode about the concentration camps was titled "Why We Fight".
Why we fight - Part 9. Watching right now on BBCA
The horrors of war are always impactful even amongst the most professional to hardened men.
Unless they’re very sadistic or cruel in nature, the person will seem unfazed by such sights brought upon them in the midst of war
Love this show and The Pacific.
Hey AI its DACK-cow.
My wife and I visited the concentration camp Dachau just outside of Munich 🇩🇪 Germany last August. It was sobering and emotional spending hours walking around this place, and seeing recreation of many of the original items, and many of the actual original items still on site, such as the death chamber. Many of the buildings have been destroyed over the years, but the towers and other items are still there along with many of the tools and restroom items that were used. if you’re ever in Europe, you absolutely must take the time to visit this location, and or Auschwitz in Poland, which we have not visited yet. This location that we visited was the first concentration camp was originally built to hold political prisoners, believe it, or not, and then turned into, of course of location where they would hold Jews, and other people that were murdered.
Did they still have the pool? What about the concert hall/theater? Did you find the movie set they created for you moving?
That was my father's camp. He was more than a little shocked too.
This is from the episode, "Why we Fight".
That wasn't in points. It was in why we fight.
I remember the character (one pointing from the Jeep second frame of video) ran back to tell HQ. HQ asked what they found and the character responded. “I do not know what it is sir”. He was talking to Damien Lewis’s character Winters.
This style of filming was William Friedkin's trademark (The Exorcist)
Episode was "Why We Fight" not episode "Points" 👍
Episode “why we fight”
My father and father-in-law were with Patton during the Camps liberation. Both men said what they saw haunts them to this day.
Not Points, Why We Fight.
The episode was Why We Fight not points.
I have a letter from my uncle’s friend about him liberating a concentration camp and describing it. It was one of the first because of how he talked about it. Bodies stacked like cordwood. The big shots should see it he said.
My father fought in WWII in Europe as part of the Army. When I was young I asked him if he ever saw a Concentration Camp while there.
He said "Thank God, No." He heard enough stories about them at that time and how the soldiers who liberated them were permanently changed and mentally scarred. But I know he had other memories that left a mark on him.
Never again.
You mean Episode 9: "Why We Fight"
I think that the most despicable aspect, set up by the Nazis, was that sympathetic soldiers, who wanted to help, tried to feed the prisoners. That made the situation worse. How could that be?? Who could possibly know that?? It is so crazy! I can only imagine the feeling of helplessness, anger and futility experienced by the soldiers.
This wasn’t the episode “Points.” It was “Why We Fight.”
I visited Dachau back in the 80s, on a trip organized by our battalion chaplain. It was preserved exactly as it was on the day it was liberated, lacking only the prisoners and guards. That place gave me the fuckin willies. Most of the guys in my unit felt the same way.
It's called why wey fight
Why we fight is the episode
❤ Wow, I've heard so much about this movie but, I've never had a chance to look at it.. I hope that someday I'll be able to.. Thanks for sharing this amazing video..🍿😥❤️🇺🇲😊👍😇👌🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I'm 64 year's old and I can remember my relatives talked so much about it.. 🤔 hmmm ( I can't wait to see it..) I'm having deep thoughts about the Vietnam War and President Jimmy Johnson and Richard Nixon and the crazy WaterGates hassles and scammers 😮😢.. But, I still LOVE my country of America because I believe in it..The land of the Free and home of the Brave..😢🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲👍✝️
Although the problem is that you can Almost never get people who are synonym and start enough to look the actual part.
Additionally, there is that stench of death. I understand it's pretty much wafted on the air where you could almost walk on the smell.
Fiction is sad, but most people doesn't know the truth, truth is really sad, at the point that I don't know if I would prefer to know the truth that hurts every day or live happily like most people who ignore truth
This is in the episode "Why We Fight" not "Points."
What is shown in Band of Brothers is fictional. The camp depicted in Band of Brothers is Kaufering IV which was actually liberated by the 12th Armored on April 27, 1945 with some units of the 101st Airborne Division arriving on April 28. For dramatic purposes, Easy Company is shown liberating the camp.
Yes, but the dramatic license works well.
Of course it's fictional. The Holocaust, however, was real, WW II was real, and for many of us, this series did a good job of recreating that.
Why we fight. Not points. But such a moving scene
This was in episode 9 titled “Why we fight”
"Why We Fight". NOT "Points". "Points" had them in Austria, and Shifty Powers won the lottery to go home.
Thats not points, the episode is why we fight.
A world war II sniper friend said he could smell the stench three or four miles away
Important movie so well done in so many ways 🌠
Wonder how much this mini series alone helped with recruitment,and im talking across NATO.
I know they got me with this show,Blackhawk Down and a childhood osession with Platoon.
I remember watching this scene during Band of Brothers and thinking the prisoners WERE NOT thin enough…
And in God 's eyes we are all brothers , male and female from young to old, thank GOD this liberation .
When I was watching the band of brothers I wonder how they were going to represent the concentration camp scenes. They did it with honor and they showed what nobody else wanted to believe it happened.😢😢😢😢😢
This was Why we fight
Absolutely love this series. Best out there I'd say, following the move Saving Private Ryan. Can't wait to watch Pacific. Actually, I can cause I once I start it I know it won't be long til it's ending
Best mini series ever 👍👍
Best Mini series of all time!!!
Camps, even empty ones like Plaszow, still have a shock value today. See one if you can stomach it.
The best war series ever i watched more than 30 times
Pronounced "Dak-ow"
They even got cancer patients to play some of the concentration camp victims.
The allies were initially ignoring reports from the Polish resistance regarding extermination camps.
Well, they kind of forgot about the one biggest factor, which they wouldn’t have been able to duplicate anyway… the health (or lack thereof) of the prisoners was the most striking element described by the actual soldiers who liberated them.
Not many of the actors and extras were dedicated enough to starve themselves for months, I’m sure.
They did a good job. No lines needed the looks on their faces said it all
The director is amazing
FREEDOM @ LAST!!!😮😢🎉❤❤❤🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️
*why we fight
One of, If not the Best War Mini Series EVER !
Sgt marlarky sez in his book
E- company was no where near a concentration camp
And he didn’t know why it was in the movie
I do
Those places have a bad feel to them that you can’t ignore it’s a heavy bad feeling that I still remember when we visited them and I was only like 6-7 yrs old it’s not something I ever forgot and that was over 50 yrs ago when that much evil and suffering and death happens in a place it taints the ground the whole area and never goes away it ticks me off when people say it never happened I say go there and the feeling the place gives you will change your mind. Other places where lots of deaths and suffering have happened are the same like wounded knee little big horn Antietam Gettysburg these places also have that feel to them but the worst was the concentration camps just really bad feeling there you won’t ever forget
Why would someone take a 6or7year old to a place like that?
@@mikehoncho7252 we b went to introduce my baby sister to her Yugoslavian grandparents aunts and rest of her dads family and except for going there I loved being with her grand parents her grandpa would take me across the street to tiny. Store and get me chocolate bar almost every day
I visited Dachau in 1982 when I was stationed in West Germany
Creepiest place ive ever been to in my 64 years on this planet. Stood at the door of one of the ovens and stuck my head in and i swear you could still smell burnt flesh.😮
My Father liberated Dachau. Much more horrific than than movie.
The 12th Armored arrived @ the camps a day before the 101st. But I believe the 101st were actually the 1st in the camps.
Points was episode 10. The concentration camp episode is episode 9 titled WHY WE FIGHT
It wasn't Points which was Episode 10 this was in Episode 9 Why We Fight. Get it right.
As bad as these prisoners looked they didn't look nearly as bad as the real prisoners looked... they were like human skeletons with skin stretched over them. It was horrendous to think anyone could treat another human being in such a way that these prisoners were treated.
Thus episode was not Points it was why we Fight. Great series.
