Fascinating listen, thank you for uploading. My grandfather was captured with the 6th army at Stalingrad, he was in the 44th infantry division. Many deaths occured in his POW camp of malnutrition. He ultimately lost around 80 pounds moving around different Russian labour camps. Fortunately he became one of the few survivors to finally return to Germany in the mid 1950s where he lived a long peaceful life His younger brother made it to the end of the war as a loader for the Jagdtiger in the 512th Heavy tank destroyer battalion and surrendered to the Americans May 1945
Winston Churchill conceded as much when he acknowledged that its was the Soviets who tore the belly out of the German war machine. They played a horrendous price with 27.2 million dead, but what choice did they have? The Nazi's made their intentions clear. The same fate visited upon the Jews was planned for the Slavic peoples.
This must have been pretty awkward for both parties. The Germans were like 'Yeah i just laid waste to this part of your country and now I surrender when I've used up all my ammunition'.
The goal was to secure the road to the oil fields in the South and they failed it so it's without a doubt a a costly Soviet victory and a crushing defeat for the Sixth army
@@Froggo188 Well I never mentioned anything about strategic or tactical objectives in my comment. Just pointing out how awkward it is given the context of this video.

The German 6th Army started with 300,000 men, of which 93,000 were taken prisoner at Stalingrad. The survivors at 5,400 were not released until 1954 after Stalin died.

@@dragos1894 I will disappoint you, nazis called themselves like high aryian race. And after war, they would annihilate literally everyone. They would betray Japans, Italians.

Nazi about annihilating, communism about uniting, but both used force methods, at least, Soviets wasn't so cruel like nazis, they even not killed them (Germans) , they restore eastern Europe.
A well known piece of footage taken by the Soviets shows lines of German and Axis prisoners of war. One particular PoW is probably either Romanian, Italian or any other non German soldier who is seen emerging from their positions to surrender, the reason why I can still remember him is because he is wearing just a thin looking shirt and trousers, without any headwear, greatcoat, camouflage padded smock/tunic, sweater or even a field uniform shirt. I don't doubt that he would have died of the freezing weather conditions within a short time but I wonder what his final few days and hours were actually like.
My mother's father was kia in the Battle of Kursk mid-7/1943, and lost her uncle , a Luftwaffe fighter pilot of a FW190 fighter plane, shot down in Italy near Anzio. Ironically my father's father was a paratrooper with the USAs 82nd Airborne Division , and was a medic with permission to carry a weapon , and was in DDay, Operation Market Garden( a fiasco by Field Marshall General Bernard Montgomery to out flank the Nazis into ending the war through Holland xing the Rhine into the heart of Germany, but it was a "Bridge too Far.) And, he was wounded in The Battle of The Bulge. He didn't say toouch about his experience in WW2 , for it brought too many horrible memories, seeing death by the hundreds , USA , and Nazi- German.
Stalingrad is so intense even just literally reading about it. I cant even imagine the sheer desperation that must have been in the air for the people actually experiencing it.
Every kilometer the German Army advanced into occupied territories behind them were the Gestapo and Einsatz Gruppen doing their murderous villainy. The heroic German soldier is a myth because the very nature of their leader's starting of war was criminal. Poland was the first victim of this monstrous war. September 1, 1939. People were asleep, civilians, at home and died from aerial bombing. For what. Too many Nazis under the Western occupation managed to go on to live charmed lives as if nothing every happened, many went into top positions of government and the new German military and by the late 1950s they were even commanding troops of the allies.

My eternal respect to the Soviet people for saving us from fascists!!!
One of the biggest mistakes of the Germans was too stay in a city that had been reduced to ruble. There strong point was the blitzkrieg and by not being able to move quickly in the city gave a big advantage to the Russians. The battle became one of attrition where the Germans would be defeated. The Germans would be fighting street to street and house to house. You could not manover tanks and artillery peices around in such condition's.
@@jamesfarrell8339 big mistake of the germans (adolf actually) was that he split the army in the summer 1942. Half for Caucasus and the other half to Stalingrad. That was the mistake. Otherwise,in short time Stalingrad was in german hands ! Here wasn't russian bravery or big russian victory. Only Adolf stupidity .
No doubt still proud at the enormous feats of the Wehrmacht even against all odds. Conquering all of continental Europe. Flinging the Soviets all the way to the Volga until their own leader had to step in and tell them to stop running away from the Germans otherwise they’d be shot. What a force they were. But I’ll say that the Soviets were also incredibly brave and fought tenaciously when it mattered
The Nazis started the siege of the city with merciless aerial carpet-bombing and 2 days of artillery destruction. And near the finale, seeing they were surrounded and even air-drops of food were impossible, they starved to semi-death, convinced that they would be measured with the same yardstick they had used on the civilians of Stalingrad.
There was about 20 thousand that did not surrender. They Fought to the death. Germans, Austro, Croat, Italians, French and Spanish. It was the Spanish that kept the fight.
Austria was no longer a separate country after 1938.There were no French or Spanish units there. Romanians and Hungarians were nearly wiped out completely...
Lee Christy: and today the enemy the Third Reich and her allies fought on the Eastern Front are essentially the same leftist, Marxist, Globalist forces now trying to destroy Western Civilization. Will the Third Reich go down as the last stand for Western Civilization?
SyncKo The same invasion that the Germans conducted aswell? LOL hypocrit much? The two aggressors went at it, and the strongest won LOL get salty XD mad that Germs were brutally killed and raped after invading ? Too bad, you get what you give ROFL
Stalin vs. Hitler. Two of the biggest monsters in history. The US and UK were perfectly happy to let these two monsters fight it out. Who can blame them?
What destroys this short video is the typical british propaganda narrator. The germans were soldiers doing there duty just like us. Respect from uk And respect to russian soldiers. One day the human race will learn to live in peece.
Paulus was bad but not that bad.He countermanded Hitler's order to shoot civilians and Russian soldiers as and when and it is untrue that he had ordered his men to take no prisoners and not to surrender. These were Hitler's orders which he disobeyed as he disobeyed Hitler's order not to surrender his forces. In the Western hemisphere he might well have been regarded as well as Rommel, because overall he was a gentleman and believed in the rules of war although it would not have seemed like it in Russia. Talking of Rommel most people are not aware that he led the army into Poland in 1939 where the most terrible atrocities occurred including raising Warsaw to the ground. You never hear of anything he did to stop it because he never considered it. He was a Nazi through and through and he believed in the Nazi creed. The fact that in the western hemisphere he acted according to the rules of war seemed to make him well regarded but he had a history.
Peter Ellis Unfortunately the Nazis war machine eventually turned on him and he was forced to commit suicide. There was nothing positive about the war and the Russians were as bad or worse than the Germans.
Despite orders to not discriminate Nazi German prisoners, there was subtle discrimination in prison camps. Italian and Hungarian troops were allowed to work in kitchens, and even to cook, so that they could overfeed their buddies. The Russian and other officials from unified countries/ kingdoms refused access to Germans to the prison kitchens cooking facilities to Nazi prisoners. The false excuse was that the Russian and unified commanders were afraid that the Germans will poison the food in the prisons.The Soviet prison officials simply told Nazis that they cannot every order from Moscow. The Nazi Germans had to deal with doleful food handouts, and were not allowed to cook or to go to the kitchens inside prisons.
It was very important for Germany to either capture Russia's political and (a) manufacturing center (Moscow) and / or its oil fields in the south east. Through mismanagement by Hitler they ended up fighting at Stalingrad. They won nothing, even worse, they lost a lot of men and equipment. Remember that time is everything in war, it was basically Germany (Axis factions) against the world, they had to win fast or run out or resources while their enemies had time to grow in strength. While Germany was struggling at Stalingrad, Russia was building a gigantic army and then unleashed it. It was the beginning of the end.
I mean this was just one city. If sixth army lost, they could have sent one more army and continued the siege of the city. I am sure they had many more armies.
@@kanthector There were actually multiple armies involved in the battle of Stalingrad that were heavily damaged and prevented to assist in the battle of Stalingrad. The Army Group for instance included Romanian forces on the flanks outside the city. Another army was sent from the south, but it was attacked in the flank and could not advance further. After that is was not possible to quickly send more reinforcements. The Germans still had Armies but they were weakened and had to defend two fronts (east and west) stretching over thousands of kilometers. Moving any more armies would create gaps in the front line elsewhere.
I see, I thought perhaps the 6th army was one of the superior armies they had compared to others. So a defeat for that means no other army could do it. Wonder what Hitler cud have done after this defeat to save germany, but surrendering.
@@kanthector they send a new army but the army was stopped and pushed back. In 1943 in the battle by Kursk Wehrmacht has lost a new big battle. After this Red Army begun an offensive that ended in Berlin.
@@anthonycruciani939 He knew Barbarossa would fail. They had discovered that in war games from 1940. Supply and attrition would be their end. Paulus was overruled by Halder.
@@ikmarchini I'm not sure about that. Hitler said all he had to do was kick the door in and the entire rotten edifice would collapse. Barbarossa was based on a horribly flawed intelligence assessment.
This force allegedly by the fascist standards was made of Aryans race,,they surrendered & their Fuerer committed suicide ,,greatness of peoples army of communist Russia,,Hitlers generally do not survive in the world ,,they only die but by the time they die public had paid a great cost,,fascism is first & last wish of capitalism to deform the democracies in the world,,Advocate Bankim kulshreshtha Indian
Either side losses are higher than 1,000,000 people. There were a lot of romanian, hungarian, italian soldiers who became good fertilise for russian lands. Germans lost much equipment like tanks, aircarfts, artillerty that can't be restored very fast.
Those are problems the US created themselves, especially Cuban Missile Crisis that was a soviet counteract to the Turkish nuclear crisis, the US nuclear weapons that still are right under Russian (then soviet) mainland in Turkey.

Rokossovsky had been sent to Gulag before Nazi Invasion by Stalin in 1940 but was released and appointed General in Dec 1941 at Battle of Moscow , Stalin said Britain gave time, Americans Money and Russians Blood to defeat the Nazis, combined UK and USA lost less than 1 Million dead Russians 27 Million to defeat Nazis , 95000 German Soldiers surrendered only 5000 survived to return to Germany in 1955 , 12 years later, all the Generals survived
The great surrender ?! Bullshit! 110.000 soldiers is not a great surrender dude. Great surrender was in 1941 at Briansk and Veazma ,where the germans took it 1 milllion russian pows!!
Idk capturing unprepared conscripts with 10 days of training using air superiority is less of an achievement as destroying the largest german field army and 2 romanian armies man to man. Besides, Vyazma wasn't even 1 million. Its 250k (least stupid Soviet generals 😂😂😂). Anyways 110k prisoners from an army that brands itself as "superhumans" and "superior" is pretty funny ngl.
@@Brslld from what source you know that? I sow a lot of books and documentaries about 1941,Briansk and Veazma ,about russian pow's. Indeed it was 1 million russian pow's. Russians never tooked such pow's! Russians was so many , like sheeps.
@@kniespel6243 No, what source did you have? If you just searched the vyazma and briansk pockets every source (books, reports and such) would cap it at 600k. For me personally I do not watch documentaries, they're all slop, made to cater to the mainstream, I'd rather waste my time finding information in the internet (for free I might add) than to watch condensed entertainment garbage, because thats pretty much what most ww2 docus are.
But why all this ? It's imperative that no Eurasian Challenger emerges capable of dominating EurAsian landmass and thus of also of challenging America -- - Zbignew Brzezinski How ? Those who control Eurasia control the world - John Halford Mackinder
Always listed as one of the worst battles in human history. Hitler seemed pretty much impervious to the loss of life. Just a test of Germanys will to win. I suppose the First World War shaped his thoughts..
Wow Rokosvsky was gettin his rocks off. Yeah I went there. Sorry. The surrendered generals didn't have to much to worry about and were probably relieved. Not so much the file and rank soldiers.
A similar number (about 90,000) British Empire troops were captured at Singapore, but the majority came home. The Germans, as you show were not so luckily.
But why ? Now you will learn what is up: Those who control EurAsia control the World - John Halford Mackinder USA can not conquer Eurasia From this came Balance of Power - It's IMPERATIVE that no Eurasian challenger emerges emerges capable of dominating EurAsia and thus of also challenging America - Zbignew Brzezinski
As Henry Kissinger said about the 1980-88 Iran v Iraq war: "isn't it a shame both sides can't lose" - I feel the same about the war in the East - the USSR was slightly worse than the Nazis.
So much of anti-soviet false propaganda has been pushed in the west so many years that we have results like these, alternating historical facts and taking propagandist lies as truths not based on any historical or documented proof against the USSR.
The importance of this defeat is overlooked by many. At that time the - more clever - top Nazi’s started to understand that the war was lost then and there. If you spent some time to view some vid’s about the rise of Hitler, you understand that is was - for most Germans - a matter of being forced to join the army (Hitler made it simple, you’re with us or against us). Everyone made huge sacrifices (the Russians even more than the Nazi’s). Eventually a lot of those Nazi soldiers never returned. Regardless of who was wrong or wright it is human suffering.
If it weren’t for the Russians tenacity at Stalingrad, Hitler could of owned the Volga, thereby starving Russia of her oil. We could all be speaking German today if it weren’t for the Russians. And how do we repay them? By being sneaky and disrespectful.
We speak English because England successfully dominated the world . We don't speak German because Germany was unsuccessful at dominating the world. So I don't understand what are you are trying to prove here saying we would be speaking German today as if speaking German is a sin. There's nothing wrong with that. Instead just say we would be ruled under nazis today that's not good.

I have seen this video before but not with the narrative . Like it is a holiday time . The music . Wow
after the hell they endured to get here I think they deserve a damned party
Do not forget .. the films were shown back home in theatres with civilian audiences for information and empowerment. 😊
Can't beat Tchaikovsky for a film score. And it's free.
narrator is throwing some serious shade
Did any of these men face the Neumberg trials
Paules was one of the big witnesses for the prosecution.
0:01 20th century fox?
There was about 20 thousand that did not surrender. They Fought to the death. Germans, Austro, Croat, Italians, French and Spanish. It was the Spanish that kept the fight.
This is correct the fighting did not finally stop until well into April.
Austria was no longer a separate country after 1938.There were no French or Spanish units there. Romanians and Hungarians were nearly wiped out completely...
Lee Christy: and today the enemy the Third Reich and her allies fought on the Eastern Front are essentially the same leftist, Marxist, Globalist forces now trying to destroy Western Civilization. Will the Third Reich go down as the last stand for Western Civilization?
SyncKo The same invasion that the Germans conducted aswell? LOL hypocrit much? The two aggressors went at it, and the strongest won LOL get salty XD mad that Germs were brutally killed and raped after invading ? Too bad, you get what you give ROFL
Spanish!!! Fuck Off!
The last scene with the Univermag building... damn, RO PTSD right there!
If Paulus and Schmidt had listened more to general von Drebber perhaps things would have turned out differently
Then thanks to God they didn't listen!
@@cpking7 ?
WoW , you became SO MANY for a Stalingrad Battle
One thing
How they recorded the video
Stalin vs. Hitler. Two of the biggest monsters in history. The US and UK were perfectly happy to let these two monsters fight it out. Who can blame them?
2:20 the man in the background, is he german in the sights?
What destroys this short video is the typical british propaganda narrator. The germans were soldiers doing there duty just like us.
Respect from uk
And respect to russian soldiers.
One day the human race will learn to live in peece.
Richard Morgan well said mate !!
Its an American voice, not British.
what duty? destroy soviet towns/villagers/prime civillians?
Uchiha Obito, thats called a "brave germans"
Video shows what will happen to invaders who will come to our lands.
Very, very Sad!
Germany-Played 2 LOST 2.
Os russos são mesmo, mesmo heróis.
What happened to those prisoners ? How many survived ? Who has a documented objective answer ?
Paulasshould have pulled back the six army reguardless of what Hitler's said saved his men rommellwould have
Paulus was bad but not that bad.He countermanded Hitler's order to shoot civilians and Russian soldiers as and when and it is untrue that he had ordered his men to take no prisoners and not to surrender. These were Hitler's orders which he disobeyed as he disobeyed Hitler's order not to surrender his forces. In the Western hemisphere he might well have been regarded as well as Rommel, because overall he was a gentleman and believed in the rules of war although it would not have seemed like it in Russia.
Talking of Rommel most people are not aware that he led the army into Poland in 1939 where the most terrible atrocities occurred including raising Warsaw to the ground. You never hear of anything he did to stop it because he never considered it. He was a Nazi through and through and he believed in the Nazi creed. The fact that in the western hemisphere he acted according to the rules of war seemed to make him well regarded but he had a history.
He razed Warsaw to the ground.
Peter Ellis
Unfortunately the Nazis war machine eventually turned on him and he was forced to commit suicide.
There was nothing positive about the war and the Russians were as bad or worse than the Germans.
Erwin Rommel was in Africa during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising in 1943. During the 1944 Polish uprising he was nearing house detention/sick/dead.
Long Walk Home?
Just good exersise.
Just put in your ear buds and you'll be fine.
Despite orders to not discriminate Nazi German prisoners, there was subtle discrimination in prison camps. Italian and Hungarian troops were allowed to work in kitchens, and even to cook, so that they could overfeed their buddies. The Russian and other officials from unified countries/ kingdoms refused access to Germans to the prison kitchens cooking facilities to Nazi prisoners. The false excuse was that the Russian and unified commanders were afraid that the Germans will poison the food in the prisons.The Soviet prison officials simply told Nazis that they cannot every order from Moscow. The Nazi Germans had to deal with doleful food handouts, and were not allowed to cook or to go to the kitchens inside prisons.
John Snow Kumar ahhhhh poor babies lol fuck off.
Good, they're lucky Stalin even decided to keep them alive in the first place XD
Awwwwwww.The Nazis murdered millions in cold blood.And you`re bitching that Nazi prisoners had lousy food handout?
😂
@@1994g0 the Soviets committed just as many crimes.
What goes around comes around
Germany would of never been able to control Russia

How could just this one defeat affect Germany so much
It was very important for Germany to either capture Russia's political and (a) manufacturing center (Moscow) and / or its oil fields in the south east. Through mismanagement by Hitler they ended up fighting at Stalingrad. They won nothing, even worse, they lost a lot of men and equipment. Remember that time is everything in war, it was basically Germany (Axis factions) against the world, they had to win fast or run out or resources while their enemies had time to grow in strength. While Germany was struggling at Stalingrad, Russia was building a gigantic army and then unleashed it. It was the beginning of the end.
I mean this was just one city. If sixth army lost, they could have sent one more army and continued the siege of the city. I am sure they had many more armies.
@@kanthector There were actually multiple armies involved in the battle of Stalingrad that were heavily damaged and prevented to assist in the battle of Stalingrad.
The Army Group for instance included Romanian forces on the flanks outside the city.
Another army was sent from the south, but it was attacked in the flank and could not advance further.
After that is was not possible to quickly send more reinforcements. The Germans still had Armies but they were weakened and had to defend two fronts (east and west) stretching over thousands of kilometers. Moving any more armies would create gaps in the front line elsewhere.
I see, I thought perhaps the 6th army was one of the superior armies they had compared to others. So a defeat for that means no other army could do it. Wonder what Hitler cud have done after this defeat to save germany, but surrendering.
@@kanthector they send a new army but the army was stopped and pushed back. In 1943 in the battle by Kursk Wehrmacht has lost a new big battle. After this Red Army begun an offensive that ended in Berlin.
Did the Russian play their National anthem in battle?
why no german people comment on this?
They have really distanced themselves for sure

Interesting Paulus had a twitching eye since then. He died of ALS about 10 years later.
The stress broke him down as it did Hitler.
@@anthonycruciani939 He knew Barbarossa would fail. They had discovered that in war games from 1940. Supply and attrition would be their end. Paulus was overruled by Halder.
@@ikmarchini I'm not sure about that. Hitler said all he had to do was kick the door in and the entire rotten edifice would collapse. Barbarossa was based on a horribly flawed intelligence assessment.
слава нашим красноармейским товарищам!
This force allegedly by the fascist standards was made of Aryans race,,they surrendered & their Fuerer committed suicide ,,greatness of peoples army of communist Russia,,Hitlers generally do not survive in the world ,,they only die but by the time they die public had paid a great cost,,fascism is first & last wish of capitalism to deform the democracies in the world,,Advocate Bankim kulshreshtha Indian
Stalingrad was the bloodiest Battle of them all in both pto, and eto.
who's general trabooti??
General Tolbukhin. He later led the Red Army to capturing Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and I believe Vienna as well.
Bloodiest urban battle
1. Stalingrad
2. Battle of Manila
Point of fact: The Soviets actually lost far more troops at Stalingrad, than the Germans did.
Lol, losses are comparable
Urchin Obo, Wrong! You've obviously never looked up the losses for both sides.
Lol losses mean nothing. Victory is all that matters.
'Losses mean nothing'? Good luck finding anyone who will agree with you on that. LOL!!
Either side losses are higher than 1,000,000 people. There were a lot of romanian, hungarian, italian soldiers who became good fertilise for russian lands. Germans lost much equipment like tanks, aircarfts, artillerty that can't be restored very fast.
I’m from the Stalingrad
The eye twitch is a message. He doesn’t do it unless he looks at the camera first
The USA had to eventually fight indirectly The Hammer an Sickle; Cuban Missile Crisis, Korea, SouthVietnam, .
Those are problems the US created themselves, especially Cuban Missile Crisis that was a soviet counteract to the Turkish nuclear crisis, the US nuclear weapons that still are right under Russian (then soviet) mainland in Turkey.
Would Friedrich Paulus have had a worst fate if Germany won?

Oh yeah, the Berlin Airlift in Joe Stalin's Berlin Airlift where the USA prevailed in keeping the west from starving.
Rokossovsky had been sent to Gulag before Nazi Invasion by Stalin in 1940 but was released and appointed General in Dec 1941 at Battle of Moscow , Stalin said Britain gave time, Americans Money and Russians Blood to defeat the Nazis, combined UK and USA lost less than 1 Million dead Russians 27 Million to defeat Nazis , 95000 German Soldiers surrendered only 5000 survived to return to Germany in 1955 , 12 years later, all the Generals survived
Well done Russia for dooming
The great surrender ?! Bullshit! 110.000 soldiers is not a great surrender dude. Great surrender was in 1941 at Briansk and Veazma ,where the germans took it 1 milllion russian pows!!
Idk capturing unprepared conscripts with 10 days of training using air superiority is less of an achievement as destroying the largest german field army and 2 romanian armies man to man. Besides, Vyazma wasn't even 1 million. Its 250k (least stupid Soviet generals 😂😂😂).
Anyways 110k prisoners from an army that brands itself as "superhumans" and "superior" is pretty funny ngl.
@@Brslld from what source you know that? I sow a lot of books and documentaries about 1941,Briansk and Veazma ,about russian pow's. Indeed it was 1 million russian pow's. Russians never tooked such pow's! Russians was so many , like sheeps.
@@kniespel6243 No, what source did you have? If you just searched the vyazma and briansk pockets every source (books, reports and such) would cap it at 600k. For me personally I do not watch documentaries, they're all slop, made to cater to the mainstream, I'd rather waste my time finding information in the internet (for free I might add) than to watch condensed entertainment garbage, because thats pretty much what most ww2 docus are.

I would advice to remember this event! Now days nobody going to stay in tranches, nuclear bombs.........
Always listed as one of the worst battles in human history. Hitler seemed pretty much impervious to the loss of life. Just a test of Germanys will to win. I suppose the First World War shaped his thoughts..
Wow Rokosvsky was gettin his rocks off. Yeah I went there. Sorry. The surrendered generals didn't have to much to worry about and were probably relieved. Not so much the file and rank soldiers.
the nazis could have prevented 20 million people starving to death :(
20 million never starved, but Germans literally were starving people, you know hunger plan? Generaplan Ost? Blokade of Leningrad?
91000 surrenders and just 6000 backed to their home
A similar number (about 90,000) British Empire troops were captured at Singapore, but the majority came home. The Germans, as you show were not so luckily.
Out of the 200,000 troops around 5k returned back to germany
And of those 5k I wonder how many weren’t scarred by their experiences in the post-war Soviet POW camps and gulags. Poor men
No, 6th army had 300 000 man, of whom 90 000 were alive when they surrendered, of whom 5 K returned to Germany in 1955

As Henry Kissinger said about the 1980-88 Iran v Iraq war: "isn't it a shame both sides can't lose" - I feel the same about the war in the East - the USSR was slightly worse than the Nazis.
kissinger's armies got annihilated in vietnam by rice farmers lmao
So much of anti-soviet false propaganda has been pushed in the west so many years that we have results like these, alternating historical facts and taking propagandist lies as truths not based on any historical or documented proof against the USSR.
The British Empire was worse than the USSR
The importance of this defeat is overlooked by many. At that time the - more clever - top Nazi’s started to understand that the war was lost then and there. If you spent some time to view some vid’s about the rise of Hitler, you understand that is was - for most Germans - a matter of being forced to join the army (Hitler made it simple, you’re with us or against us). Everyone made huge sacrifices (the Russians even more than the Nazi’s). Eventually a lot of those Nazi soldiers never returned. Regardless of who was wrong or wright it is human suffering.

A tragedy
What?
@@rttr8001 people died.
If it weren’t for the Russians tenacity at Stalingrad, Hitler could of owned the Volga, thereby starving Russia of her oil.
We could all be speaking German today if it weren’t for the Russians. And how do we repay them? By being sneaky and disrespectful.
We speak English because England successfully dominated the world . We don't speak German because Germany was unsuccessful at dominating the world.
So I don't understand what are you are trying to prove here saying we would be speaking German today as if speaking German is a sin. There's nothing wrong with that. Instead just say we would be ruled under nazis today that's not good.
