Between D-Day and the end of April 1945, more than 2.8 million German soldiers surrendered on the Western Front and seriously weakened the German Wehrmacht in the West. On the 7th of May 1945, shortly after the death of Adolf Hitler, the unconditional surrender of the German Third Reich was signed by General Alfred Jodl, who was the Chief of Staff of the German Army at that time. He signed four documents at the same time, one for each country of the Allied forces: the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and France.

Für meine Großeltern war es keine Befreiung.
This is high quality footage footage that has the look and feel of a 1970s news bulletin.
Stunning that the buildings are crushed but the trees still have their leaves!!!! When everything human is gone, nature will survive!!
translation for the broadcast at 2:59 "we are broadcasting the last Wehrmacht report of this war, from the headquaters of the Grand Admiral, the 9th of May 1945. The High Command of the Wehrmacht states a ceasefire on all fronts at midnight. The Grand Admiral commanded to stop this hopeless battle of the Wehrmacht. Therefore, almost six years of suffering ends. We had great victories but also heavy defeats. The German Wehrmacht is inferior to the mighty superiority."
Thanks for the translation.
I wonder if that giant field was the Feld des Jammers near Bad Kreuznach.
once again, phenomenal colorization from you guys. by any chance, could you colorize footage from the asian theatre or imperial japan?
i think this is originally coloured
@@rohan34 Yes, it is real color. 16mm.
These comments are insane
Just some Germans playing the victim cards.
Dad was in Czechloslavakia on VE Day.
I can't imagine how this must have felt
3:22, an aerial view of the enormous amount of German prisoners.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^truth is they let a majority starve
Prisoners are in prison, these must be outsiders or something, and soon they'll all be diers.
@@rosesprog1722 "Disarmed enemy forces"
@@henryseidel5469 Yes, thanks.
"Eisenhower's death camps", they were called. The fields of mud were their 'prison', the 'Red Cross' banned from helping them and their status was changed from "Prisoners of War" to "Disarmed Enemy Forces", as Henry mentioned. Research it. General Patton set his prisoners free and stated, "We went to war with the wrong enemy.". He was killed shortly after by OSS Agent, Major Douglas Bazata.
C'est d'une grande épouvante ses images, cela a donc été cela après ce conflit inimaginable, cela dans une Allemagne en ruine, dépecée, réduite à l'occupation des vainqueurs avec son cortège de viol, de vol de misère et aussi avec des millions de soldats prisonniers parqués en quantités et des conditions Impensables dehors et sans abris et avec des blessés, combien de victime encore, une honte pour les dits libérateurs et les démocrates. La faute à Hitler et aux nazis seulement ?
Bei 1:54 ist ein Übersetzungfehler. Im englischen sagt die Stimme "demobilized", nicht "demoralized".
Good catch!
And today anyone of those uniforms are worth thousands of dollars
not only that. when germany was destroyed. the americans took over the shape of the german helmet.
Who is gonna pay that? Will you?
How about the war in pacific?
55 million people died in WW2
I believe that cathedral in the beginning was the place where the pershing took out the panther tank. I could be wrong
Das ist Köln mein Freund.
Meinte er auch..
No, this is Frankfurt -- or what is left of it.
no that isnt cologne
The end of the Reich, but the beginning of the Soviet empire.
Greatest Generation. Heroes
Is that why they lost?
Немцы всегда были неудачниками.
For the ordinary soldiers Nightmares and Terreny over.
No, youre wrong, many thounds we're killed after the war in Camps of Hunger or Illnes
@@richirichii
I wrote ordinary Soldiers.
@@imrank340 i know
Was it difficult to feed and provide proper hygiene and housing for these German POWs ?
They did not. They killed 9 million Germans on purpouse after the war. Morgenthau Plan read it. Disgusting reading and allies implemented it 1945 to 1949 killing 9 million civilian Germans. The biggest massmurder ever done. THAT is a crime against humanity!! Crazy morons. At that is the crazy elite ruling us.
@@dinkeydink9376the same people who believed that inferior races should be exterminated.
Just great!!’

Yeah. Didn't they all want to get to the American lines.
Yes they did. They invaded The soviets and not the Americans.

Слава советскому солдату!
Солидарен
Тогда они сражались против нацистов. Сегодня они сражаются с невинными гражданскими лицами. Какая деградация
@@rtertgrrtgwrtzwt эти невинные лица обливали зелёнкой ветеранов, открыто говорили, что ненавидят Русских. Они получают только то, что заслуживают!!!
@@user-uf2xq7be6i Я не ненавижу русских. У меня есть русские друзья. Я просто ненавижу то, что они делают в соседней стране.
@@rtertgrrtgwrtzwt 🤣🤣🤣ты серьезно? Насмешил! Советского солдата сейчас не существует! Ну а русский солдат - это отдельная тема, и я не согласен с твоей риторикой относительно этого! Но нет желания спорить так как тезисы уже заранее известны и месить воду в ступе я не хочу, ведь каждый останется при своём мнении один хрен!

The end 😢
Fortunately.
Why all trees are green and buildings destroyed?
because trees have green leaves.
Allied troops had a predilection for bombing civ infrastructure
Trees recover quickly....buildings Don't!🤣
Деревья зелёные ,потому ,что не применяли ФОСФОРНЫЕ БОМБЫ ,КАК ЭТО РАШИСТЫ ДЕЛАЛИ В УКРАИНЕ И СИРИИ.

You forgot to mention the 'Eisenhower Death Camps' in your presentation, where good old 'Ike' starved German POW's to death. The stories from some of the American guards who were there are heart wrenching.
Yeah, up there with the Nazi death camps!
Germans stop playing the victim card cause you committed the worst atrocities ever. Americans treated Germans like gold cause to America race is the most important thing. Even the German soldiers who stayed in America wanted to stay. And many of them returned to the USA.
Nonsense. And to the devil w that scum of earth !!!!!
I know this won't matter to you, but you are describing the conclusions of the book "Other Losses" that been pretty much refuted. I'm not saying the Allies were squeaky clean in their handling of Axis POWs, especially at end of the war, but the mass conspiracy described in the book has been shown to be based on methods and conclusions seriously flawed and biased. But, sadly, many people believe what they want to believe and reality doesn't matter. Just look at our present times.
@@loge10 great response Germany started and lost two wars in one century and behaved horribly during them A family member died of poison gas in the Kaiser War.. The Krauts who came to Canada all fought on the Russian front btw. Canada took them bec they were good workers !! JA and efficient cf the death camps YUCK
History is written by the victors
Millions German Wehrmacht in POW prison camp no trees and no shelters and no showers but where millions German SS guards and officers not there in POW ?
They were killed, if they found them
No, Waffen SS got special treatment - instant death!
Actually if you do the math it was deadlier in the German camps. Soviet camps had a 36% possibility of death but German camps had a 67% of survival. Germans were cruel and brutes.
@@mirquellasantos2716 Yes! But, German camps exist no more than 12 years. And Soviet camps ( gulags ) exist many more years and its were too many in Siberia and other parts of USSR. I understand that soviet regime never did not got extermination camps like Nazis. But, soviet gulags did much more damage on population of USSR and Europa than Nazi death camp regime. Because, that time was too short and victims were mostly communists and Jews. And they were not too without sins. I do not say that is a justice, but that is a historical fact.
9@@Eagle-hj9ud The Russians killed any SS they got a hold off. Every Kraut who could Wehrmacht and SS ran their tails off to get to the American lines. Yeah. Everybody wanted to get to the American lines. There's loads of video right here on You Tube of this very thing.
Liberators don't loot, abduct, torture, rape or murder. The allied war criminals took away the status of POW. They said all soldiers are criminals.
They called them 'disarmed enemy forces' to justify the treatment shown in these pictures. Disgusting !
Morgenthau Plan, the killing of 9 million civilian Germans after the ww2, 1945 to 1949. The largest number of civilians beeing killed ever. Disgusting reading. THAT IS A CRIME AGANST HUMANITY! Have we seen any persons hang for that? Of course not. Sick peoole.
Germany ended up winning. Marshall plan rebuilt her with all new machinery. And who do you think dominates the EU? So in fact Germany ended up creating and running a Grosse Europa.
Nope the US empire did.
In The Number Of The Beast No Surrender!!
Hey Germans, are you humiliating and embarrassed to watch this? 😂
Nein, wir nachfolgenden Generationen haben uns mit unserer Geschichte auseinandergesetzt und unsere Schlüsse gezogen. Mind your own business….🙂
No but are the French and British after seeing their cities today embarrassed for what they fought for?
Per quale motivo dovrebbero sentirsicosi'?Voi che avete utilizzato l' atomica????
Germans back then were cruel and super evil but Germans today are good people. Judging them for the sins of their great-grandparents is just not fair. About the decline in the UK and France, remember those countries were colonizers and live off the blood of the people they were colonizing. They don't have those colonies anymore and that's why they are dying.

200 Tsd Russen in ukr. Gefangenschaft und jeder müsste 10 Jahre Aufbauarbeit leisten ... wäre ein Wunschgedanken von mir.
Du bist aber nicht bei Wünsch dir was, also werden deine abartigen Wünsche wohl nicht in Erfüllung gehen du Wi.....
Die korrupten Banderas, die schon mit der SS jüdische Menschen in Lager brachten oder gleich erschossen, durch die Russen zum Teufel zu jagen wäre ein Wunschgedanke von mir. Da wird ein ganzes Volk für Nato-Geostrategie geopfert. Begleitet von einer Hollywood-Freiheitsgeschichte...
Give 'em hell Harry!
Never in european history so many soldiers surrender without conditions. And never in history of Europa so many defeated soldiers finished in nameless concentration camps of western Allies and soviets gulags for so many years and even decades. That is the first day of occupation of Europa, from 9th of May, 1945 to the present days. RIP to all Axis powers soldiers and innocence civilians who were killed or abused from all soldiers who win ww2.
What a historically ignorant comment! More innocent civilians were slaughtered by the axis forces than by the allied forces!
Poor victims... 😂😂😀😀
