Estonian Soldier reacts to D-DAY German Perspective

[@ericsun3036]

Normal People: "The Desert Fox" Artur:"The desert rat" lol.

[@iamaloafofbread8926]

The desert bread :v

[@Hammadz-li]

It depends on language and culture they change the title a bit we say desert falcon

[@hekmatyar4476]

Lol

[@SamVarvodic]

I think desert rats was a term that Rommel used to describe the Australian and British troops that fought at Tobruk, he might be mixing up the terms. It might have been the rats of Tobruk actually I dunno it's been a while.

[@soarabove337]

Right on, I was gonna comment abt this but then decided 1) he lost and anyway 2) he’s dead, so he doesn’t get a vote on being called whatevs these days. 😆

At least now the History Channel's KZbin account is uploading their old episodes of the Dogfights TV show.

Ahh, so I'm not the only one who misses the good old days of History channel. I'd get cable if History channel still played history. I actually complain to their social media every few months just to be a pain haha. The Smithsonian Channel plays a lot of History content.

[@loganlutz5396]

The only thing i wish for is Artur to do the videos how he wants. No need to apologize for your comments in the middle of videos, we are here to listen to your commentary. We love your appreciation for your patreons 😌. Everything about your videos is amazing no need to stress and worry about making everyone happy. Your true fans appreciate the videos for what they truly are and have always been!

Hey Artur, just wanted to say how much I and many of your subscribers enjoy and appreciate your content. Your personality, your interest in these topics, just overall charm and your choice of very interesting videos from a history we all share. Thank you friend☺️, always looking forward to your next video.

[@BHuang92]

I've heard from the German perspective of D-Day, some of the soldiers knew that a large force was there at Normandy when they saw the vast amount of ships from the shore which would've been a sight to see for a soldier in their 20s. Those that survived after the battle, when the defenders surrendered and saw the vast amount of Allied equipment unloading on the beaches, many of the German veterans stated that the sight they saw definitively cemented the fact that they have lost the war.

[@guyincognito1406]

Sherman’s might have been a bit lackluster, but there sure were a lot of em.

[@KevinHillofDOOM]

There are stories from soldiers like this in the book, "D DAY Through German Eyes - The Hidden Story of June 6th 1944" edited by Holger Eckhertz. Good read.

You should watch tv series The Americans. Although it makes you sympathize for Soviet Union. Best part is they see how much better America is. Power stays on , food taste good, you don’t get killed for saying words. You know normal stuff

I just wanted to comment how dope the Estonian flag is; probably my favorite from a design perspective. I love how if you take a pic of a tree line during the winter, with snow on the ground and a blue sky, the flag matches it perfectly. It's cool to look at those pics online, the Blue, Black and White. I really hope I get to visit someday. I'd love to travel the Baltic and Nordic countries! Cheers from Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA!

My great-grandfather fought at d-day but since I am German, he fought for the Germans. He died there that day but luckily my grandfather was already born. Thank you for doing this video. I am not a Nazi sympathiser either but people often forget that the German soldiers also were human and were forced to do this because they wanted to protect their home. Most of them weren’t Nazis or followers of the Nazi-ideology, they were just soldiers and followed orders.

It takes the incredible bravery of men to charge a fortified machine gun and artillery forehead on. What is even more amazing is that strategy at Omaha beach lead to victory.

[@rickbrauer6794]

Being a POW in the US was something like this, being stationed on a base. They worked and were paid in scripts, not money, the same basic pay a US soldier earned. The scripts were exchange for personal items, beer and just about anything you could find at any store. Some prisoners were even allowed outside camps on an honor system and enjoyed civilian life. If they were a 'troublesome' prisoner then of course they were not allowed most of the freedoms many of their brethren had. My family had immigrated to Texas in the 1880-1890's to several German homesteads. The thing I recall is my grandfather being told not to speak that 'dirty' German ever again by my grandmother.

My Estonian grand father fled to an American displaced persons camp, he was in the 20th regiment of the Estonian SS, although forcefully recruited, and he was the radio operator. in 1946 he worked on a Swedish ship and in 1949 the ship was off the coast of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and he jumped out of the ship and became an illegal resident. Two years later he was arrested and jailed for one day, and upon release he applied to be a Canadian citizen, and left to go to the capital Ottawa. On his way to the capital, he had to go to a hospital in Montreal because he had TB, he survived but had one lung removed, and while on the ship he fell in the cargo hold and broke his spine, and that took a whole year to heal. Back in Estonia his older brother died while fighting against the Soviets, as a Forest Brother partisan somewhere on the Island of Saaremaa in 1944, and his died of a stroke in 1946 from shock after the Soviets took all his assets and property in Tallinn. Meanwhile, his older brother had a wife and the NKVD interrogated her on the whereabouts of her husband to which she did not know, and they promptly sent her to a gulag in Kazakhstan, but thankfully 3 years later she got out and went back home, as she was friends with famed Estonian inventor Johannes Hint, who through his connections in the communist party sawed to release her.

8:00 Pretty much. There were a few more good officers but Rommel was just a genius. But we can all be happy that Hitler was a lunatic. Imagine if they focused their resources on stuff like nuclear warheads (carried by V-2s), jets, etc., instead of rediculously big guns and tanks that were too heavy to move...

Actually, I think most of the Luftwaffe fought against the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, etc.. The "western front" was a high tech war where Germany needed its planes to intercept Allied strategic bombers. Also, the "western front" was a lot more practical to deploy aircraft to, because of prevalent air bases and the smaller areas. The Luftwaffe "wasn't there" because they'd been crushed in the months, weeks, and days leading up to D-Day.

People keep saying “you’re Nazisim” Just because you learn History? But does History suppose to learn from the experience from both side in the war? So, can I called those who keep calling people Nazisim, as Americansim? Cuz they believed America to be like God or something. While they create as horrible things as the Axis do. Who knows how mcuh Innocent Japanese Citizens got killed in 2 Nukes... and even with the fallout as well. You can argue Japan attack Pearl Harbor first. But Pearl Harbor population was not as big as like Nagasaki and Hiroshima at that time. Sure innocent people got killed in Pearl Harbor but so as the Japan after the war. War is about what brings demons within them. There is no such things as Villains and Heroes in WWII. Everyone is just being Demon who were blinded by rage.

Using "Wille Pete" is still legal against all military materiel including personnel. The restrictions only apply to civilians and their structure's (unless they are reclasified as "enemy combatants") flame weapons like the Mark 77 bomb are still deployed but under a doctrine not to cause undue suffering. How you burn someone alive and not cause undue suffering is a mystery to me.
