Very true! Thanks for your comment 😊

Thank you for your comment and your perspective.

@@TheWraithTavernHistoryonTap The women Air Force plane ferry pilots and the Tuskegee Airmen are two of my heroes from the war. Unsung and invaluable, they were both amazing groups of war fighters. May God bless their souls.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's so important to honor and remember these incredible individuals and their sacrifices.

Absolutely! The bravery and skill of Soviet women during the war is a remarkable and often overlooked part of history. Their contributions were significant and deserve recognition. I have another short speaking about the Night Witches. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you for sharing your insights and your point of view.

Thank you for your comment. I second your appreciation for the service of women. I also appreciate that you shared your personal connection, thanks again.

Thanks for your comment and sharing the additional information that is very interesting. 😃

Thank you for sharing that insight! I am sure the lack of training in flying the ME-262 had a lot to do with it, but I think it was still an amazing feat by the Tuskegee Airmen. Thanks for your comment and I love the P-38's!

What about it is?

How so?

Thanks for your comment! I appreciate your question as I had the same one.

This is where I got my facts from "Tuskegee Airmen vs. Me-262s African-American fighter pilots shot down three German jets on one mission By Robert F. Dorr - February 25, 2013"

Not BS at all. For the mission on 24 March 1945, in which the 332nd Fighter Group had three pilots shoot down Luftwaffe jets, the unit earned a Distinguished Unit Citation. Additionally, in May 1942, the 99th Pursuit Squadron was renamed the 99th Fighter Squadron. It earned three Distinguished Unit Citations (DUC) during World War II. The DUCs were for operations over Sicily from 30 May - 11 June 1943, Monastery Hill near Cassino from 12 to 14 May 1944, and for successfully fighting off German jet aircraft on 24 March 1945. It really pays to know something about the subject before you comment and make yourself look like an idiot.

Thank you for sharing this insightful overview! It’s important to recognize the strategic choices the Tuskegee Airmen made during the war, and how their focus on protecting the bombers had a lasting impact.

The myth is based on a few facts though. They flew the longest bomber escort mission of the 15th Airforce. And they flew 179 bomber escort missions, with a good record of protection, losing bombers on only seven missions of the 179. And had a total of only 27 bombers lost, compared to an average of 46 among other 15th Air Force P-51 groups.

@@TheWraithTavernHistoryonTap LOL too bad they were BLACK LOL

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I’d love to hear more about what you disagree with.

Amen

It takes a special kind of bravery to stand tall against oppression. Our service members are like the ultimate underdogs who turned the tides in their favor!

Thank you for recognizing the bravery of our service members! Their dedication and resilience are truly commendable, and it’s important to honor their sacrifices.

I totally agree! Thank you for your comment 😊

Because democracy democracy 👽 😂😂

Incredible indeed! It’s like everyone else is running a marathon while some are still stuck at the starting line.

Women were in the factories making the supplies and weapons for war….women shouldn’t be in combat. It’s not that they can’t fight..they just shouldn’t be in that position if given a choice. They should be protected.

@@johnr8820 history says different

@@jorelvaaz2087 how so? Because the USSR deployed women to fight the largest invading force of all time? That’s your argument? Just because these ladies were successful, you think women should be continued to put in harms way? And killed by men? You’re okay with women getting their limbs and insides spilled out? and You must hate women with that logic..

It's amazing how music can connect us to history and cultures from around the world! Sabaton definitely has a way of making history feel alive.

Thank you for sharing your perspective! Conversations like this remind us of the complexities of identity and history.

I know I would watch it if they made a movie about this! Thanks 👍 Thanks for your comment!

Yes, I agree they made a choice not to let the SS just kill the former prisoners. Thanks for your comment.

@@TheWraithTavernHistoryonTap My pleasure, I was a soldier once too.

Thank you for your service and for your comments!

It's incredible how history is filled with unexpected alliances and acts of bravery! The courage shown in those moments truly makes a difference.

I may be mistaken, as I read about this years ago, but if I recall correctly, the orders the SS were given were to also kill the Wehrmacht troops as well in some of the prisons in addition to the high profile POWs. I do know there were a handful of similar instances where the SS (being the most loyal to Hitler and their ideology would kill their best friend or even themselves when given an order to do so) were to kill German soldiers, scientists and others who had valuable information or knowledge of the crimes carried out by the SS when the realization set in that the war was over. There were documents eventually uncovered that discussed a standing order to purge in the event of failure to protect any truly loyal party members (including SS) to hide crimes, avoid trials etc, with the hopes to try again in the future. SS officers were supposed to take their own life to avoid capture and interrogation, and kill any Wehrmacht (mainly officers and their assistants) as well as any soldiers presumed to have intel regarding any crimes, although the majority of the regular standing army had no idea about the camps or other atrocities outside of rumors until they were captured. Hitler thought through and beyond many things and tried preparing for any potential outcome, and believed so strongly in his ideologies and visions that he still wanted the future he imagined even if he were gone, so planned for many contingencies including the orders to destroy any evidence (including his own soldiers) to give the best chance at things continue thing even after losing the war, and to try again. There is nothing more noble than someone in power, with such conviction and strong belief in an ideology that they would give their own life for, and at the same time, there is nothing more terrifying and dangerous than that same type of man, willing to commit some of the most atrocious acts, and kill anyone to achieve that goal. It wasn’t for his own personal gain, but a radical ideology that meant more to him than his own life, and destroy anything that stood in his way. All he saw was the end goal, and ignored the countless bodies of men women and children that paved the path to his goal.

A radical ideology can be a double-edged sword-sharp enough to cut through loyalty but dull enough to ignore the humanity of those involved. Quite the paradox, isn’t it?

Thanks for sharing! Family ties can be so fascinating. I’d love to hear more about your connection!

Ah, the sequel that no one asked for but everyone got! I guess they were just really committed to the 'World War' franchise!

I know, right?! It’s wild what you can learn sometimes. So glad you’re digging it!

Because they were Soviets and the USA didn’t have women fighting for them.

@@8bitchiptune420 That seems very plausible to me as well, thanks for your comment.🙂

Thank you for your comment. I also appreciate your feedback. They were brave ladies for sure.

Indeed! It takes a lot of courage for what these female pilots did during WW II. Thank you for your comment and sharing your thoughts!

It definitely felt that way, didn't it? Sometimes the odds just don't seem fair!
