His work was ordinary farmers work, but for bulls owned by village. One day my grandmother, her father ( veteran of wwl) and the young ,Arbeitsmaid' worked on a meadow to make hay ( sidenote: german Heu and Stroh/ hay and straw/ are spoken in my dialect like a mix of english and german). Suddenly a plane came, the three hide in a group of bushes., and the plane threw two bombs. Nobody was hurt, but the Arbeitsmaid was so shocked, that she fell into the arms of my greatgrandfather and cried: Mr.... we will die! The US pilot didn' t want to kill civilians, what often happened, he threw the bombs before an emergency landing , because his plane had problems.

The first casualty of war is truth.

[@douglasturner6153]

Those Germans were still kicking some serious booty in early 1945. Enjoying good cigarettes and a fine Cigar. While knocking out Russian tanks left and right. Very promising future.

They ran like jackals with their tails between their legs

[@douglasturner6153]

@@90Abur It was said more as humor. But I wouldn't say they ran like Jackals. Most did want to stay out of Russian hands, that's true. But the Russians didn't sustain 300,000 casualties in the Battle of Berlin from running men.

[@user-jq2iz9zn4p]

No. The Russians advanced on all fronts in January 1945. They pulled up to the Oder River and then built up their forces there for the final push on Berlin. I don't know why you would think the Germans were winning in early 1945. That was when Hitler went to hide in his bunker and never came out again.

[@douglasturner6153]

Was just sarcasm on the Newsreels my friend. I know the military history of that time. Goebbels job was to build morale and give hope so they would keep fighting. He was pretty good at it with selective, edited and often staged filming. He projected a very sanguine view of things.

@@user-jq2iz9zn4p Hitler made it to Argentina; the CIA got a pic of him in Venezuela (?) In 1955 when he had to step out during the Peron wrap-up, but he lived into the 1970s. How happy he was is another question...

[@allanfifield8256]

Looking at the maps: "We got them right where we want them, Boys!" By January 1945, I wonder how many German civilians actually saw this in any theater.

[@rikpeol3612]

Until Stalingrad, the world of the "newsreel" was still real. After that, however, reality played a subordinate role. It is very difficult to wage war with the truth.

[@Ralphieboy]

Especially when the "truth" was raining down on the heads of most Germans in the form of bombing raids on their major cities...
