Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 1 of diary of an enlisted man in Germany's army, who served on both the Eastern and Western fronts and was wounded four times before being captured in 1944. After a highly unpleasant stay in a French POW camp, he was turned over to American authorities and sent to the U.S., where he spent a comparatively comfortable 14 months in several POW camps. Repatriated in 1948, He worked as a dental technician until his death.
The Biggest Lesson from WW2 is to the people of a nation to keep close eye on the political leadership and restrain them from wickedness.. I worry for The US in the present day
The AI commentary is atrocious, can't a human commentator be found ?
Entering a German POW camp in the States might have well been the best fate for a German soldier at the time.
Is this AI generated??
What a insult i think using a A.i voice for such a poignant time in history. I would of narrated it with heart and compassion.
The AI accent is almost believable , Scary times
Auto-translation good, pronunciation; comical ! 'Mein Kampf' being substituted for a Bible to commemorate a marriage - tells it all.
My Granddad was a rear machine gunner at Dunkirk. He made it back and went on to D-Day. Wish he had told me stories about it.
You should say you were surprised when the CANADIANS landed in Normandy.the largest beachhead was Juno.they were the first to breach the Germans heavy defences and penetrated further inland than the other attacks.
Eh. Thats about enough of the AI made up diaries.
i was born in New Zealand my parents came to New Zealand from Holland in 1956 and adopted me in 63 I am one of the lucky ones to hear what they told me, When the Germans invaded Holland they took over in my Grand Mothers house, But the one thing she made them do when they were there was take their boots off before they walk into the door, True story, Ohh the storys my Mum told me about the War, Least we forget. RIP to you all.
My Opa was transported to Poland with the rest of the family. They were removed from their farms in Bessarabia to repopulate Poland with Germans. Opa was imported with the Wehrmacht and sent to fight along the eastern front (some of the heaviest fighting). Once he was on leave during the winter holidays. He was looking at a Christmas display through the window of a village shop. A young officer fresh out of school stopped beside him to look as well. My Opa looked at his reflection sizing him up. The kid was obviously the son of someone important which gave him rank among common recruits. The officer made eye contact with my Opa. This is when it’s proper to salute. He said “If you’re looking for your hands they’re in your pockets” without missing a beat Opa replies “If you’re looking for the East it’s that way?” Opa was sent to the local jail for disrespecting him. Though Opa said it was a really good time because they could play cards, smoke cigs, and German guards respected the incarcerated soldiers who had survived the Eastern front so they would bring in beer.

May All those who died or were maimed during this unbelievable War Rest in Peace . AND Those who saw horrible , Truly obscene things, and had nightmares for Decades after . My father made it through , but was emotionally scarred . And May GOD please Bless those who did kind things, on all sides .
So enjoy all of these memoirs! It's a piece of history which is little known. Thank you for your research.
Daddy was born in 1916 a member of the 504th 82nd airborne. He told us boys the Germans were good soldiers.
Some things never change... I recall taking leave of my family to return to camp in 1989, from Johannesburg Station.
For infantrymen of ANY nation, life in the military in general, and particularly in combat, our perceptions and mindset are much different than others. In WWI and WWII, MANY infantrymen knew they probably survived because wounds took them out of the fight. My father was an Infantry NCO in the US Regular Army in WWI. BY WWII, he was a senior officer, but still Infantry. He was wounded 3 times in each war.. old NCOs who became officers in a second war didn't hang out in the rear. Besides, my eldest brother was commissioned thru ROTC In May, 1941. Infantry Branch by choice. He was in our father's old regiment, the renowned 16th US Infantry. So Dad kept tabs on him, of course, vut mainly took the opportunity to mentor some young officers. This was a Regular unit, so Dad had fought with and was close to many of the old senior NCOs.
Epic tale.
