Also ab Min. 17:30 etwa wird angezeigt "Besetzung von Lich". Das kann absolut nicht stimmen. 1. haben wir in Lich keinen Fluss der so breit ist, dass man hätte Brücken legen müssen. 2. wurde Lich nach meinem Wissen null in Mitleidenschaft gezogen. Weder Bombardierung noch sonstige Kampfhandlungen. Und 3. kann ich da absolut nichts finden was nur im Entferntesten in Lich sein sollte.

Ausgezeichnet - gerade in der ruhigen Kameraführung und dem Filmen des „Unspektakulären“ liegt das Ungewöhnliche dieser Dokumentation. Vielen Dank dafür!

The medic awarded the MOH is Harold A. Garman: Private, U.S. Army, Company B, 5th Medical Battalion, 5th Infantry Division. His citation reads: For conspicuouus gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. On 25 August 1944, in the vicinity of Montereau, France, the enemy was sharply contesting any enlargement of the bridgehead which our forces had established on the northern bank of the Seine River in this sector. Casualties were being evacuated to the southern shore in assault boats paddled by litter bearers from a medical battalion. Pvt. Garman, also a litter bearer in this battalion, was working on the friendly shore carrying the wounded from the boats to waiting ambulances. As one boatload of wounded reached midstream, a German machine gun suddenly opened fire upon it from a commanding position on the northern bank 100 yards away. All of the men in the boat immediately took to the water except one man who was so badly wounded he could not rise from his litter. Two other patients who were unable to swim because of their wounds clung to the sides of the boat. Seeing the extreme danger of these patients, Pvt. Garman without a moment's hesitation plunged into the Seine. Swimming directly into a hail of machine-gun bullets, he rapidly reached the assault boat and then while still under accurately aimed fire towed the boat with great effort to the southern shore. This soldier's moving heroism not only saved the lives of the three patients but so inspired his comrades that additional assault boats were immediately procured and the evacuation of the wounded resumed. Pvt. Garman's great courage and his heroic devotion to the highest tenets of the Medical Corps may be written with great pride in the annals of the corps.

Excellent footage and restoration. I had 3 blood uncles that fought on the ground in Europe with the U.S. Army, they would recall the Wehrmacht soldaten asking them, "Haben sie eine cigarette, Bitte", after feeling secure with their surrender. Another point: As I'm looking into those faces of the German soldiers after surrendering, I believe I had that same relieved smile on my face as I boarded that plane out of Vietnam. . . .It's over!

These were not liberated German soldiers. They were Nzi prisoners of war and displaced persons from all over the world. They wore these old Wehrmacht uniforms because they were warm and most of them didn't have their clothes intact anymore. And they were just happy to have actually survived the horror and finally see their home and their families again.

[@dannyhoward3437]

This series is the best representation of the final days of the 2.WK/WWII. Gritty, emotional, real. This is how it was. The sense of the unstoppable US Army at its height, the still proud but defeated Wehrmacht, and the German people’s mixed feelings as these events unfolded. Thanks to their sacrifices we have all lived in peace and as Allies since 1945.

@Sveigar: Du hast völlig recht. 2:55 - 3:53 zeigt den Einmarsch nach Wißmar (Wettenberg) von Krofdorf kommend den Wettenberg hinunter in die Krofdorfer Straße.

Extraordinary footage from the last days of total war, with human reactions of relief on many faces on both sides. A valuable reminder of the confusion and destruction that ensues when death can come without warning in the most banal of situations and circumstances, not least from hardline Nazis determined to resist to the bitter end. War seems a feature that engulfs every generation somewhere in the world. That is the human tragedy we have yet to eliminate despite all the "progress" made.

[@jean6872]

We have made progress in Europe where the baby boomers said to hell with all this fighting and nationalism and built a union of countries in economic, social, and political mutual respect and assistance and no longer do countries in the *European Union* allow their differences develop into warlike hostility. We have handed on a community to our youth where there has been peace since 1945. We did something right.

[@mdmarko]

Interesting to see General Patton and the medic who got the Medal of Honor. Later the US Army had a base in Giessen. Imagine a number of the German POWs later ended up working for the Americans at the base.

I wonder if the Germans realized that a large, maybe a very large percentage of the American soldiers were themselves from German origins.

[@WilloSNoack]

Therefore could the Americans win the war and save the USSR against Nazi-Germany. Under the command of Mr. Eisenhower, whose parents came from Hessen/ Germany the USA had been more successfull than in WW I.

[@Darnakas]

Ich glaube das ist die Mauer an der Ev. Kirche in Wettenberg/Wißmar. Vorher sieht man den Blick auf den Turm von der Krofdorfer Straße aus Krofdorf kommend. Die Burg ist Burg Gleiberg in Wettenberg/Krofdorf. Burg Stauffenberg ist bei 18:30 zu sehen.

[@derekbaker3279]

The one crucial difference? Oil....the Germans never had enough fuel to fully mechanize their forces, or keep all the planes in the Luftwaffe in the air. The Germans' only chance would have been to capture & hold the oil fields at Baku & nearby locations during Operation Barbarossa (..the first year of the German-Soviet War..), but the German Generals ignored Hitler's priority (..the oil fields in the Caucasus..) and aimed for Moscow & Leningrad instead.
