Brave Veteran Recalls The Most Horrific Thing He Saw During WW2 | Remember WWII With Rishi Sharma

This is an episode in a World War Two Documentary Series called Remember WWII. This episode covers the role of U.S. Army photographers and videographers documenting the brutal tactics used by the Gestapo and other German military personnel against the innocent people they imprisoned. The goal is to shed light on how Germans crossed the line from the agreed upon humane treatment of POWs and civilians to literally caused six million Jews and four million other groups to disappear. We owe it to those innocent souls to bring their perpetrators to justice and make sure this never happens again. This episode feature WWII veteran Andrew Filak. We thank him for his service.

GOD BLESS the WWII Veterans. And bless Rishi Sharma very much for the work. The veterans are strong for telling their story. That WWII war was an indescribable horror, it's like Satan looked right up from hell into Germany back then and said these are my folks, for the job. In studying history and wars, still nothing is like what happened in Germany, it was more than just physical, it was pure evil of heart. Sympathetically, hopefully the Veterans did manage to erase some of what they saw from their mind.

Hi Rishi, I am a disabled veteran and only have a limited income, if I was in a position to help you financially I would not hesitate to donate, unfortunately that is not the case right now but if my circumstances change then I would proudly donate and support you, until that time I just wanted you to know that I think your calling is one of the greatest I have ever heard about, I wish you all the success in completing your journey and dedication to preserving our history, and the stories that we ALL need to hear and give thanks to those who ensured our freedom and very existence.

He used to tell me when I was a teenager that you never shoot directly at the plane you fire a head our you would never hit it. You fire the machine gun ahead of you plane and slowly bring it back into the plane. He knew what he was doing because he survived and became the best father. If I had another go around in life I would pick him over and over again. Rest in peace daddy I love you. 😢

My Dad is dead too. He taught me so much that I wouldn’t have learned without him. Our family has short men and Dad was no exception. At only 5’6 he fit perfectly in the seat for a bombardier. If you get a chance to see this airplane as they tour the US look at the device he would have used to calculate when to drop the bombs. He was a member of the US Army Air Force Flying Tigers. Their home base was in Kunming China which was lacking many supplies. It was a frequent assignment to fly over to Kolkata India to get enough fuel for the squadrons next mission. They also bought all of their food and other supplies in India. To fly over “The Hump” was quite dangerous. This was flying over some of the highest mountains on earth and crashes did happen. Dad sat in an exposed part of the plane, a clear dome that was vulnerable to enemy fire. One of the missions he was most proud of was eliminating a dam without killing all of the villagers. He was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses during his time fighting the Japanese. Truly an amazing example of the greatest generation.

Both my grandfathers were in ww2, one lost his leg in an ambush, machine gun basically sawed it off. My father served in air force, and I remember as a kid going to plane shows and being allowed to climb in those ball turrets, can't believe how cramped they were. And knowing they were a favorite target for enemy aircraft, can't imagine being the guy in there. They truly are heros. My grandfather that lost his leg had the worst nightmares for the rest of his life, would wake the entire house with chilling screams. Yet, it didn't hold him back. He came home and ran his farm, had 8 children, had a successful career as a prison guard, and joined a group of 3 other veterans that lost their leg that learned to fly, all four got their pilot license and held various jobs as pilots. We owe so much to them.

Mass Genocide never seen on that scale in the 20th century so many fucking attrocities comitted by the japanese in ww2 man they were fucking cruel. They Raped so many Young Girls,, women , men children or elderly babies Cut babies heads off Bayonet civilians, I believe we as humans are capable of being sadisticly evil to our fellow humans but also been fucking beautifuly uplifting loyal and loving to our fellow man,woman,dog,cat,family Just amazing things people do.Heroes giving their life as the ultimate sign of love.

The information your getting is critically important. Thank you. My grandpa would have been a great interview for you. A WW2 vet. He was in the army stationed in France and Germany. I remember he said, he gave his food to the starving french children and bought them things and it was heartbreaking. He went without food for the children. My grandpa was a great man he lived to be 100 with a piece of german grenade in his eye, but didnt require glasses. He did go blind for 3 months from it while healing.. I had the honor to care for my hero (Gramps) until he passed. He was a pastor and a Dad of 12 children. 13 children all together because his first daughter and baby passed from pneumonia while he was at wa.. My young grandma had to handle it all alone while my grandpa was overseas. I had 3 grandpas in WW2. 1 step grampa in the navy. He was in pearl harbor while his ship was sunk. I think it was the SS Arizona? Not 100% of the ship's name? He passed a long time ago. A Japanese bullet got him in the belly and he had to live with a clostomy bag at the age of 20 until he passed in his 70's he never spoke to us about WW2. My Dad a Vietnam vet, his dad was in the navy during WW2 as well he never spoke about it either. My moms dad the first grandpa I spoke of, he spoke to me about the war and answered anything i asked. He had survivor's guilt. He gave his seat to a senior officer by the fire to get warmed up and thats where the grenade was thrown into the campfire and the seniors head was gone. My grandpa got the shrapnel in his eye's. It was a miracle and it happened within minutes of him giving up his warm spot. If you want to see his obituary or his brother's (a marine in WW2 let me know?) Ill give you their names. Thank you for recording history that we do NOT want to forget!

Wow what a crazy time to be alive

[@dementus420]

This must never be allowed to happen again. Jesus christ man. We cannot allow our global society to descend into the type of madness that happens when a world is at war ever again. My grandfather was a bomber crewman and flew 25 missions over Europe during ww2. He was injured on his 24th mission and missed his 25th with his crew of extremely tight friends. They were required to fly 25 missions to earn their tickets home. He flew his last mission with a different crew. They were 2 hours late coming back and nearly mia when they came on the radar and called in saying that they were all shot up and coming in with 1 engine and stuck landing gear. They did a belly slide onto the runway and made it home. My grandfather here passed when I was 3 and a half so I never got to hear the stories 1st hand unfortunately. I will become a patreon very soon. Thank you so much for what you're doing.

Human conflict happens all the time. It is part and parcel of the human psyche. Most of us would prefer to just get along, but we are now dominated by the MIC (military ind complex), and those guys need bloody war to stay in business (and power) and make lots of money.

[@sixslinger9951]

it will happen again,,,,in fact it is happening right now in many parts of the world, people just don't care.

[@pumpkinpuna4087]

Thank you for your service. My grandfather was in WWII. He was in France when the war was over. He walked through the rubble of the bombed bunkers where the Nazis were at. He took medals from the dead Nazi soldiers bodies. He kept what he found in a cookie tin. Every so often he would bring them out to show whoever asked to see them. He showed me everything he kept in the tin. Medals, a pack of tiny decks of playing cards etc. When he died my thief cousin stole them. But would lie about having them. He used them as collateral for Marijuana from another cousin. It's not that I wanted them to myself but that's a part of history ya know. They should have been split up between me and my 6 cousins. 😢I wish I had recorded my grandfather when he would talk about WWII and his role in it. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nunyurbyznes7611]

The depth of fallen man! Thank God for providing a Savior! Very interesting but hard to fathom!

[@misskitty2133]

So awesome all you recall things so vividly! It’s so important that what you endured can never be repeated. They don’t teach this history in school anymore…why???

[@sisterkathleen]

My dad fought in three wars. My dad is dead but I have boxes of pics of him with the planes & servicemen. He was a bombadeer. He was in war war ll.

[@YELLOW08Z06]

Much much respect… The world needs to hear this

[@debbiemurray5506]

So so much respect to you Rishi for all your effort, hard resolve and determined dedication to all the veterans. I admire your tireless up hill struggle to make it your personal endeavor to keep these service men in our minds especially at great cost with no personal gain to you except to keep these fast disappearing memories alive!

[@RememberWW2]

Can’t tell you how much I needed to hear another person say this. Thanks and GOD BLESS

[@someoneelse.2252]

The photos shown, could hardly be described as 'brutal torture experiments'.

[@katella]

Disappointed?

[@patkingsley3272]

So what there has been plenty of books photos and documentation written about the concentration camps ...man's inhumanity to man

[@angelrocco2024]

Im amazed he isn't scarred for life after photographing things like that brave guy😖💖💖

[@villan81]

How was this bloke allowed to photograph/film torture/execution by the Germans as a U.S. soldier? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jayronthompson2562]

The gas chamber pictures were facilitates just for clothes. This isn’t up for debate.

You're doing really good work here. Well done!

[@CaptainFoufeu]

In my senior year of high school (1995-96), my geometry teacher was born in Austria, and actually fought in WW2. He was not a practicing member of the Nazi party, although 99% of the people were members due to it being compulsory by law. He didnt believe in their practices, and was drafted into the German Army. After tests on friday, he would discuss things about the war from the German point of view, and told us about the culture they had, even prior to the war. He wasnt a historian, but he was a great storyteller that really helped us understand things about the war from the foreign perspective. My great grand uncle Donald was a Colonel in the US Army as a reporter. He was also excellent in electronic engineering. He served through both World Wars all the way through to the early years of Vietnam. He said that the people of his time thought that Hitler was the AntiChrist that the Bible warns about. On Christmas 1988 when i was 11, he gave me several large boxes filled with audio cassettes that were dubbed from hundreds of radio recordings he copied onto electronic recording devices like reel-to-reel machines, and some other devices that predate those. He recorded news broadcasts and his favorite music and radio shows from the 1930s to late 1980s. There was old jazz music, do-wop, early rock and roll, "Little Orphan Annie," "Amos and Andy," "Fibber McGee and Molly," "The Adventures of Sam Spade," "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," "Abbot and Costello," and much more. There were thousands upon thousands of tapes. Uncle Donald said that he made at least one hour of recording of news, music and programs, every day for over 50 years. He loved electronics and audio technology. He still had old models of electronic recording devices built the 1930s and later that he kept in his garage and would tinker on. He just finally got too old to keep it up. He was in a wheelchair and living in a motorhome when he gave the tapes to me. He and Aunt Louise could no longer take care of themselves, and they were going to be placed in a nursing home, so he had to get rid of the tapes. So he gave them to me. He didnt have any children and i was his oldest nephew. We had to get a U-Haul truck to bring all the boxes home, and we stored them in the attic. I listened to the tapes a lot though, and i began to really love old music and radio shows and history. I had all of Roosevelt's fireside chats and speeches, even the complete Day of Infamy speech, too. They were all in excellent quality. In school, the recordings of such newsreels are so overdubbed and played so often they are in bad quality, and never complete. So i brought in my copies for us to listen to them uncut and in excellent quality. My teachers and fellow students really appreciated it. While i was in the army, my dad got all the tapes appraised, and sold them against my permission at auction. They may have just been audio casettes, but the historic value of their contents and excellent quality garnered him just over $5,000,000 from a historical society. I didnt find out about what he did for over a decade, so i couldnt do anything legal to collect on the property that was actually mine. However, I'll admit that these tapes are most likely some of the copies that have been digitally remastered and have been placed on the internet for the world to enjoy. Otherwise, most of those original recordings would have been too damaged through time from overuse and repeated dubbing to have good quality, and would have been lost to time. So maybe my dad did the right thing for selfish reasons, but i wish i coukd have benefitted financially from it.

RIP for our Lost and Thank you 4 your Service All of you

[@joannp5806]

Thank you for your service,sadly the horrors of all wars will go on.When I was a young teenager,I actually believed there would one day be a world without any wars. Then I grew up and realized that's never going to be true.💔

[@sonyascott6114]

Thank you sir,for your sacrifices and your struggle to keep your sanity through all of this.I Remember the last line of a movie I once watched called the GLORY,which is narrarated by Gen Eisenhower.The last sentence was a guy who said,Anyone who wants to start another war has not seen enough of this one,or is insane.

[@donovanwilliams5424]

I don't know if I would ever recover from seeing that.

Hard to believe this was human beings doing this to humans.

[@davidhicks6509]

You must not be paying attention to the Liberals, Leftists, the Mainstream Media, and the current Tyrannical Regime. The signs are on the news every day!

[@ManDuderGuy]

You havent studied much human history apparently. Clever apes. Brutal at times.

[@wickedrc7492]

Pointless murders this is so disgusting!

[@gabevachon326]

No it isn't . We are a vile species. Look at history. And we are a species in decline

[@allandavis8201]

Unfortunately I don’t find it hard to believe that humans can be so cruel and barbaric towards each other, the Nazis were just part of a long line of evil that we seem unable to prevent coming to the fore and inflicting bestial pain and suffering on those weaker than themselves, but believe it or not the Japanese were even crueler than the Nazis, not in the numbers of those tortured and murdered but by the methods they used, most especially towards POWs but to anyone that they considered inferior to them, just like the Nazis but even more barbaric.

[@philheath9854]

So where are all these Films and Photo's taken by the Germans He talks about ?

Thank you Mr filack your memories are precious.

[@keithrogers2295]

Forgive my ignorance, but did the Germans give him permission to film them murdering people? Or did he come afterwards?

[@amyhaneycreel]

The Germans filmed their own crimes. The Allies captured the German film after the war.
