In the late 1800's, my great great grandfather and his family(the Nyikos or Nykos) came to America from Hungary. Just years later, he was drafted to serve in WWI and sent back to fight in Europe. He survived the war and returned home. Just decades later, he and his Son, (my great uncle) were drafted and sent back to Europe again to fight the Nazi's in WWII. Imagine escaping a place like that just to be sent back twice, but miraculously survive both times.

My great grandfather in Germany had 5 brothers that was killed during WWI. He then moved to the US and my grandfather then fought in WWII for the 6th armored division. We still have a lot of family in Germany so he fought against his own cousins. I actually have a ton of pictures of my grandfather that fought for the 6th armored division and I just recently got his yearbook that was handed out to the soldiers.

I love videos like these. They are a powerful reminder of what war is truly like. At the end of the day, those fighting and dying in the war aren’t the ones who started it. It was moving to see that this cemetery took the time to represent everyone who died there regardless of their background. It would be difficult to honor the dead of those who caused so much despair to your own people, but we all are but bone in the end. Thanks for sharing this sobering place

History has always been fascinating to me. My Dad was Career Army, serving in WWII, Korea - the duration, and called out of retirement for Vietnam. My Dad didn't share much, Government personnel approached him at one point & said tell us where you were & when, we can get you more money for your retirement. He calmly said, I've spent many years forgetting when & where, why would I re-live that for a couple dollars? He was very sensitive regarding his time in WWII & the lives lost. I think the hardest part was the attempted eradication of Jewish people. You touch on that in this video. I was born when my Dad was full on retired, he was 55yo, my Mom was 20yrs his Jr. He did tell some stories, the times that were funny & just living life stories. We actually found out that he had put my Husband's Dad thru basic training for Vietnam before either one of us was a thought. Dad had friends like John Eisenhower & David McInerney. I wish I would have documented in some form his life story. Dad passed December 7, 2008 - Pearl Harbor Remembrance day. The made a movie about his Vietnam Military unit & their extraordinary survival its called - Honor in the Valley of Tears. It's worth a watch. Your video's are amazing. You are honoring these soilders & civilians with such integrity, love & kindness. Thank you for that.

Very similar story to mine, my dad was 54 when I was born and my mom was 17 years younger than him. Dad fought in WWII and met Mom when his unit liberated her village in northern France. So after 4 years of Nazi occupation and brutality, Dad was literally her knight in shining armor. He didn't talk about his combat experience much either. Mom and grandma on her side were involved in the French resistance and I got stories from them about those days. For example when the Germans were getting ready to hightail it in late 44, the commander of the military garrison in the village called Mom and grandma into his office and told them that he had been perfectly aware of their resistance activities, but that he was no Nazi and wasn't about to denounce them to the Gestapo. And with that he presented them with a bottle of expensive and unopened brandy and asked them to give it to the American military commander when he arrives, 'with my compliments '. Mom was really fond of telling that story.

Now they have everything in common they reside deceased in the same cemetery. All of those conflicts and wars over. The things they fought and died for no longer even exist.

In the German WWII Cemetery what you may have come across when you found an individual marker was a German Soldier who was killed in Poland was buried by the roadside and was recovered after the fall of the iron curtin and was identified when his dog tags were matched up with Bundesarchiv records. Reintered at Premysl after the initial markers were made, they were given an individual marker.

It’s hard to understand the violence and suffering of war. I experienced my little slice in 68-69. As someone who is interested in history we tend to dilute the tragedy with words like casualties and descriptions of tactical maneuvers and strategic plans but at its roots it is horrific. On another note you have a cinematographer’s eye and an effective way of combining image, pacing and music to effectively communicate not only the history but the solemnity and respect appropriate to the place. Continued nice work.

When I hiked the Appalachian Trail I’d often happen upon old cemeteries and take a gander at some of the tombstones. Women.. children… men… soldiers… and even entire families all in a row. The haunting aspect is how short & precious our moment is. And that the sum of it all might be a dusty tombstone in the corner of the lot whom a passerby centuries later might stop and wonder about the person who’s life is now represented by a dash between two dates.

Very moving. In both WW1 & WW2 the eastern front was the most brutal and horrific area of fighting .Overall the casualties were 10 times that of all the combined theatres of operations in both wars .I have a great many Polish friends here in Scotland whom to this day still do not forgive both the Russians and German occupiers. Thank you for highlighting this often forgotten history.

A view from the UK. JD, you may not know it but you have unwittingly come across a quite controversial topic whilst wandering through graveyards. This one in particular is a good example and that is burying German soldiers in the same graveyard as holocaust victims, even allied victims too. To many, even in death, their atrocities go beyond death. Many of us want the German gravesites well away from their victims. The reason is we do not want to be constantly reminded of why sacrifices were made. We wish to remember OUR glorious dead, not theirs whilst alone with our thoughts in the graveyard.

About that quote about Polish losses in WW2...it's not my intention to diminish tragedy od Jewish people in Holocaust but losses of Slavic people in WW2 are even higher, also considered from Nazi's as untermensch or subhuman, mass killed and used as forced labour until death. And nobody talk about that. As being Slavic myself, it hurt a bit.

I'll touch on that sometime in the future. The number quoted at the end of the video would include both Jews and non-Jews in Poland. Tragic.

...perhaps more true than not...but I learned early about russo-slavic death tolls between 1914-1956...and how our WWll ally, 'uncle joe', liquidated tens of millions more of you than 'bruder wolf'' did...I freely spend disdain on nazi and bolshevic (also maoist and khmer) perps and their acts but war accounts for only a fraction of the death and misery Russia's people suffered in that @50-year period...it was the creep from Georgia who did most of his killing before WWll and then afterward, behind the iron curtain...we knew little about it then and only slightly more now...and presently, our friend Igor, we watch another asp in power where you live, swelling with self-importance, guilt and fright, pussing up, with his oilygarch cliques, your nation's offices...and we wonder what we can do to help Russia's people strike them down...before their private armies of criminals and killers murder tens-of-millions more of you in this century!...
