Beautiful! My grandmother was born in Tilsit in 1878. My mom always told me stories about East Prussia and about her visits as a child. To bad we could not have gone to visit together.
Thankyou for the reply. I saw that you already gave this information one month ago. I was in Sovietsk 3 times. It is always pleasant to visit the town. This is indeed a very nice video. Best wishes Henrik
Hello, This is a very nice video, which attributes Tilsit and Sovietsk at the same time. Thank you indeed for that. It was and has agin become an interesting city. Which music is it that we are hearing on this video ? Yours sincerely Henrik Karl Nielsen
All those old German buildings are so sad and neglected. Just like Königsberg and Memel, Tilsit should still be part of Germany. "Kaliningrad Oblast" is just a false Soviet name for this part of Germany.
Согласна с Вами - но этот Возврат будет тяжёлым бременем для того, чтобы радоваться. Я родилась в Тильзите. На моих глазах уничтожалась архитектура - я рыдаю вместе с людьми, которых выгнали с этой территории.
Reply to samnjoe97 - I forgot that East Prussia was a province, not a state. That is why I didn't mention the areas from several other provinces that went to Poland after the war. As we know, regions of those provinces east of the Oder- Neisse Line went to Poland after the war. In 1914 Germany launched a war of aggression that became the most destructive war in human history, up to that point. Then only 25 years later Germany was on the march of conquest again.

Reply to Sonderbarr- As WWI approached, Belgium clearly declared its neutrality. As such, Germany's invasion of Belgium, as part of its plan to expedite the invasion of France, was blatant aggression. German occupation of Belgium from 1914 to 1918 included many atrocities & other heinous acts that have been documented by many historians. German actions against Belgium are some of the reasons historians have typically placed more blame upon Germany than upon others. Comment continues-
@LoneTinaja Nazism was a terrible regime. The same as communism. No more and no less. So the Soviet Union fell Tilsit is quite paradoxical. A totalitarian regime ended. And replaced it the next. (well it's still East Prussia. There is nothing changed)
Tilsit (Tilžė) war Deutsch und Litauisch Stadt bis sowjetischen Okkupation. Jetzt leben nur Russen und nur wenige Litauer. Wenn die Geschichte ehrlich waren, sollte dieses Stück Land zu balts: Preußen (die Deutschen zerstört) und Litauer. Fast alle die Namen der Dörfer, Städte, Berge, Flüsse in Ostpreussen waren litauisch und preußischen, nicht Deutsch. Traurige Geschichte von Königsberg (Karaliaučius) Region.
Continuing on- That war of aggression became the most destructive war in human history, causing the loss of many tens of millions of lives, with Germans committing enormous numbers of crimes against humanity, murdering many millions of human beings. Germany was very fortunate that the Allies didn't partition all of it & distribute the parts to its neighbors. The Allies would have been fully justified in doing so in order to prevent a 3rd attempt by Germany. Comment continues -
No, yes I did, yes the Versailles Treaty in part caused WW2, but Germans voting for undiluted fascism in 1933 must also be considered, and the role in parties like the DNVP in bringing the NSDAP must also be considered.
Your reply & your channel comments show typical neo-Nazi hate. In response to my comments of fact you spew baseless, neo-Nazi style personal insults. Do you have a family connection to Tilsit or elsewhere in the former East Prussia? What nation are you a citizen of? What neo-Nazi organizations are you a member of or support?
My father's family lived in East Prussia for centuries. Some of them lived in Tilsit through WWII. Some were killed in E.P. as the war was ending. Nazi Germany wreaked more destruction upon the world than any other nation in human history. As such, the Allies would have been fully justified if they had partitioned all of Germany, with the parts going to the surrounding nations. Germany was very fortunate that East Prussia was the only state that went to any Allied nations.
(Continuation of comment) And there were very large numbers of Nazi war criminals Germany failed to prosecute before they died. Because of their very unsatisfactory effort Germany will forever bear the black stain of dishonor

Я тоже родилась в Тильзите - это была сказка!!!
Ostpreußen - Bernsteinstrand mein Heimatland
Ich habe diesen Video in 2007 gesehen. Ich bin froh dass es noch existiert
and this place is now called Sovetsk, which basically means a Soviet town! what a sarcastic irony of life!
Danke, ja - so war es mal...! Hat mancher seine Heimat verloren
It looked much better before.
A really nice video and nice music, accompaning the history in it. There is also lying so much tragedy in it.

I just love this music. What is it?
Tilsit in East Prussia

Relax, Memel is Klaipeda in a free and democratic Lithuania.

Tilsiter ist ein sehr guter ! Schweizer Käse
This town is acrass the Niemen from Klajpeda/Memel?
Bernsteinland ja !
@IanHunedoara8 yes:)
Rue de Tilsitt, near the Champs Elysees !
Tilsit, Tilsit... Das ist aber Ost Preussen, nicht wahr? Und Ost Preussen ist Deutschland!
@januschau No. It was once free Prussian town, then Germans occupied it and after that Russians occupied it.
