If you going to cut your video the way you constantly do all the time, I think you should do all your commercials at the very beginning because you keep killing the vibe each time you waste most of the video with a near 3 minute commercial just do it in the beginning because you simple history videos are becoming more unwatchable each time you keep doing that.

Gangl is one of the unsung heroes of WW2. It's a shame his sacrifice isn't more widely known. Charlie Brown and Franz Stiegler's story is one of the rare happy endings. The fact they remained close friends all the way up to their deaths is something you can't put a price on.

Earlier in the war, many of the most brutal crimes on the eastern front were committed by regular German troops. This idea that there were nazis and everyone else were just regular joes caught up in it all is an idea people need to get out of their head. It’s cool that some stories like this exist, but for most of the war those men played their role in the horror just fine. Don’t read too much into isolated events, even when they’re great tales. There’s a reason why the entirety of Germany had to go through a massive “denazification” process after the war.

Also, there was an SS officer who was on the Allied-Wehrmacht side, he got two years in military prison for his actions (as with most SS, he would've been shot, if he hadn't helped the Americans!)

There were also cases of such interactions on the pacific theater. There were lots of Indians who sided with the Japanese against the British. Additionally, there were quite a few Korean collaborators who fought with the Japanese for special privileges and even a few Americans who lived in Japan and never spoke up against Japan’s aggression for special privileges. I feel they deserve a mention too

The battle of Niš occurred on November 7th 1944. The Soviet army and the Yugoslav resistance liberated Niš on October 14th. Six days later Belgrade, and Vrbas were liberated, while Novi Sad was liberated on October 23rd 1944. What was suppose to be done in Niš (on November 7th 1944 I mean), there was suppose to be a parade dedicated to mark the October revolution during that time. I think that this can't be considered as a cooperation between Allies and Axis. It can be more considered as an accident which happened due to the lack of information (but I'm not here to judge). Since you mentioned P-38's, I can add that at the end of WWII, there were couple of B-17's and P-38's that landed on Sombor's airfield in 1945, also in Yugoslavia (now Serbia). On Sombor airfield, besides US crew, there were Soviet crew operating on that airfield. What happened next was that Yugoslav soldiers and crew, they repainted American B-17 G, and also P-38 to have Yugoslav markings. One rumor about B-17 g says that this airplane was sent to USSR, while other says it remained in service in Yugoslav air force for one year (what is true from these two things, it's hard to say). Also in service was a P-38 Lighting, and it was in service also for one year in Yugoslav air force. There is a rumor that in the depths of Belgrade's museum of aviation are now B-17G, and also a P-38 L. After WWII, Yugoslavia received 8 P-51 D mustangs, and also 4 B-24 Liberators, believe it or not.

Those storys always remind me of the storys my grandparents told me. When english bombers attacked and the airhorn was activated all children and women went to the basement and the men took signalcolored shirts or other obvious signs and ran outside on the cropfields. They signaled that their houses are inhabiting civilians and the bombers dropped the bombs before the house or flew off to somewhere else. The house of my grandparents was only hit once by a bomb in the whole war and has still a crack in the middle to this day.

Norwegian here.. "The Frontfighters" (Frontkjemperne) as the Norwegians who fought for Hitler are called, were branded as traitors when they came back home after the war. They were punished with imprisonment and loss of some citizen rights. But the prison sentences usually only ranged 4-6 years. They weren't viewed as badly as the ones who just joined the Germans and ratted out fellow Norwegians to the Gestapo though, as most of these Frontfighters (who saw combat at all) fought the Soviet Union on the Eastern front. That in a way "softened" the blow of their treason, as anti-communist sentiments were common and the Soviets were seen in a negative light after their invasion of Norway's neighbor, Finland.

There should be a movie made about the battle of castle itter and with its showcasing around the world finally absolving the German people of the crimes of their ancestors. The German people like every people from other nations should be able to be proud of their country without having to constantly apologize for what some of their ancestors once did. If we applied this rule for everyone, everybody had to apologize for their ancestors crimes.

We British should supposedly be ashamed of our colonial ancestors from 350 years ago, but Germans get a pass for last century? Here's my suggestion: if you weren't involved in something, it's NOTHING to do with you.

There is also an incident documented, which took place in May of 1945 on the Rügen island, where Soviet and Wehrmacht troops together were saving the inhabitans of a German orphanage from rape / violent attacks of other Soviet troops. Achim von Borries made a movie out of this stuff called „4 Tage im Mai“ (Four days in May) in 2011…
