I Saw Fierce Siberian Troops Backed By Swarms Of American-Made Bombers. It Was Hopeless..

I am amazed by all your stories. Please keep it up. :)

Very good, thanks for sharing!

Wonderful series of stories - great listening.

[@willhovell9019]

Such schadenfreude to hear of the suffering of invading Nazi troops

[@DokDredd]

This has to be AI written. Along side AI voice over. I used to genuinely enjoy the channel but after awhile the stories all kind of sound the same, whilst, playing along a tempo of "mean while, the enemy was stupid and we're so awesome"

[@rayward3630]

I wish our youth would listen to these. We can't repeat history, but are at risk to do so with our present political leaders.

[@TheDesertwalker]

You are 100% right. Hitler/Trump and the GOP sycophants will sell us all out if it means a bit of power for them. They are all traitors and need to be dealt with as traitors. LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTION!

[@jameswells-green9476]

I understand why you would think the diarist undertook a writing course before his Wehrmacht service. I rather think its more likely that his skill is side benefit of receiving a thoroughgoing secular humanist education with its focus on language and literature. There is a process called literary osmosis which involves unconscious absorption of aspects of the text one is reading.

[@richardthornhill4630]

Interesting story from a German soldier.

[@asullivan4047]

I was fortunate to listen to several Russian soldiers & their military operations experiences. Not a Sunday walk in the park.

[@SamBrickell]

*2:20* LOL the sound of that "da da" makes it sound like the Russians tried to adopt the German officer as their father :)

[@kixigvak]

That happens. Soldiers respect authority. There's a famous tale of a Scottish major who was captured in Normandy by a German patrol of 8. He started giving them orders and they obeyed...he led them into captivity.

[@gnashings]

This episode mostly takes place on the Black Sea coast in what is now called "western Ukraine" - you'll notice a lot of the place names eerily familiar from the news. This account is romanticized to the point of basically being historically inspired fiction since the main character is a Waffen SS soldier and this is very light on the you know... mass murder and genocide and assorted atrocities... but the location in this region does explain some of the friendliness from the population, the Ukraine being a fanatically pro Nazi sect

Some in Ukraine, the Volga region and the Caucasus area were pro-German, they hated the Soviets

[@jimk.9493]

Interesting insight into the history of the dynamics between rhe Ukraniane and the Russians, the struggle between the communists and non- communists, and of course the relations between the Germans and the Ukraniane, all this is poignant especially in light of the ongoing war in the Ukraine. How easily history is forgotten, twisted, and ignored out of convenience, replaced by revised narratives that serve present day agendas

good upload, bs adverts

[@brightman2011]

I doubt that these are authentic diary and journal entries. Some creative writers have probably snatched bits and pieces from some sources. Listening to a number of these stories I recognize many vignettes that are very similar between many editions. The titles for each story are most often unrelated to the story. It is interesting, while recognizing that the main characters are clearly trying to distance themselves from the collective evil of Nazism, the stories are still compelling. I can clearly see how young, impressionable men with out a wider world view can fall under the spell and control of the Nazi’s.

[@mchrome3366]

If this is a real dairy this guy took a creative writing course before he joined the Wehrmacht. “A bird took a last quick peck at nature’s rich bounty “. Seriously? I’m beginning to have doubts about the authenticity of these diaries. If I’m wrong I’m sorry cause I’ve become obsessed with all war stories about the Eastern Front.

[@l3uIletpoints]

You should read diaries from the civil war here in america. Poor farmer boys with such poetry in their writing. So descriptive and engaging. You should have a hard time believing how awful and underwhelming our new educational system is. A system that looks to wreck our way of life and bring our culture to its knees. They're succeeding wildly. How many 40yo men need to use emojis because they dont have the linguistic ability to find words that properly convey their feelings. Its this utter lack of ability, that is new to the world, not this WWII vets ability to write. Thats as old as time.

[@vrvaughn]

Are you enjoying it? Then don’t worry about it… just enjoy it… if you have to have reality there is an audiobook of With The Old Breed available. It’s about the war in the Pacific

@@l3uIletpointsmy family has letters from home from my three times great grandfather from the US Civil War. He was from Mississippi and fought in the battles of Jackson, Corinth and eventually surrendered at the Siege of Port Hudson. The punctuation lacks a bit but the script is absolutely beautiful and one can tell that he was doing his best to keep his family from worrying too much. War IS Hell and I would never wish it upon anyone.

[@robertsansone1680]

​@@l3uIletpointsAmen! I held an actual letter written buy a Confederate soldier to his family in Texas. It was brought to work by one of his descendants. He wrote in beautiful script. He misspelled a word or two. He used some Southern slang. ("I heard the other", for "I heard the other day") Other than that, he could structure a sentence & spell far better than my college educated niece. (She graduated with honors by the way) "I heard the other that we had a big fight with the North. 10000 Northern men and 9000 Southern men were killed". He was referring to The Battle of Shiloh. He was killed in the fighting along the Mississippi River before his family received his letter. The letter was later donated to a museum.

Is this a book of fiction?

[@hurch1915]

Yes. They're all written in the same fashion. They were all written by the same author, or AI. All read by the same English accent AI.

[@gnashings]

Yes this is fiction. The person was in the Waffen SS - these weren't regular German soldiers (those were bad enough) , these were the military arm of the Holocaust, responsible for more atrocities than you can shake a stick at. These units routinely came in to perform mass executions of Poles, Jews, Gypsies, etc. It's interesting in the current climate - this particular episode takes place in all the fighting hot beds of the Ukraine war. It would explain the overwhelming friendliness from the general population - Ukraine was (and largely still is) rabidly supportive of Nazi ideology.

[@jjp0707]

@@gnashings these stories are interesting

[@gnashings]

@@jjp0707 no argument there. And even if they are highly fictitious they do show us a different perspective on things - for example how the average German was sold this kind of bill of goods about getting liberators. To be honest, I'd rather live in Nazi Germany than Stalinist soviet Russia... And that's obviously saying something

[@asullivan4047]

Perhaps embellished fiction???

[@revolutioninformationburea6719]

its fascinating how people think these arent real, just goes to show how little people actually read anymore

[@bobcougar77]

Why should they think they are real? The guy doesn't even name a source... That's extremely odd. Maybe it's to get around copywriter or maybe somebody fed some criteria into chatGPT. The narrator's voice sounds like AI to me. Instead of saying two thousand he says 2 zero zero zero... No human I've met talks like that. It's a strange new world and the null hypothesis has moved considerably.
