Simply heartbreaking and emotionally powerful cinematography and script, thank you.

[@palerider7708]

This is a very good series about a lesser known (to those in the West) aspect of the end of WWII in Europe. Poignant and without glorification of war, this is excellent work. Congratulations to all involved.

[@Evasion.Survival.Alaska]

That was absolutely the best ive ever seen. Unbelievably original and well made..

[@paulcollis7651]

That was a very realistic film. Such a shame noble courageous fighting men suffered after the end of the war at the hands of those who were to scared and cowardly to face them in combat. At least now Estonia and the other baltic states are free from communism and can remember their brave fighting men.

[@alekssvoja4402]

Сосалки благородные? Как крысы прятались и дрожали. В основном карателями и надзирателями были ,а тут вдруг хероями стали😀😀😀.а вот хрен вам Белоруссия помнит.Прага помнит.Россия помнит.

[@Нетназвания-я6ц]

During the Soviet occupation 60 000 estonian sitizen were deported to Siberia, estimated 20 000 of them died fo malnutrition, cold weather conditions and hard labour. Those who survived - returned to Estonia in 1950-es. During the German occupation 125 000 man, women and children were executed to death in Estonia - including jews, gypsies, estonians, ethnic russian estonians and soviet POWs. Estonian Home Guard, 287th and 36th Estonian Police Battalions took active part in killing of innocent civilians. Do you see how "free of communism" Estonia behaved ? "Noble courageous fighting men" were robbing, raping and murdering bastards - even to own countrymen. Nazie and SS are still murderous Nazie and SS.

[@markmitin7397]

I’m sorry, but Soviets were anything but cowards. They faced one of the most professional, most destructive, and most disciplined military forces at the time. The Baltics deserve their independence. But Soviets never were too coward to face the SS or Wehrmacht. Estonians chose to side with Germany, and Germany lost. Anyone who fought for their families, whether it was a fight against Nazis of Communists, deserves respect.

This show is awesome and to watch the common soldier who answered the call to duty no matter which side they were on. My great grandfather lived thru the Baatan Death March. I wish I could hear his story.

[@fabiobacaloni5984]

Very nice work guys. I look forward to the next episode.

[@tonytupling-gresswell4359]

I'm really enjoying this glimpse into a lessor known aspect of WW2. All the more poignant and engaging as its about the fellowship of individuals caught in the maelstrom of war and its immediate aftermath.

Skvélé video 👍🏻. Jen mě trochu štvalo, že přes hudbu nejsou čeští odbojáři skoro slyšet (možná to je záměr, nevím). Jinak fakt pecka.

[@warproductionscz]

Děkujeme! Přesně tak, je to záměr. Hlas Estonce ve vyprávění pak vysvětluje, že mu nerozuměli ani slovo. Pro zahraniční diváky jsme to tedy ani nepřekládali v titulcích. Díky ještě jednou za komentář 👍🏻🙂

It reminded me of that scene from "The Fallen" (2008) when those American troops encountered those Italian thugs. Nicely done, but it would have been even better in a war film just like Fury.

[@luongo7886]

As a Vietnamese anti-communist, I can't help but feel sorry for the poor Baltic peoples who had to endure decades of oppressive communist and Nazi dictatorships. I'm glad all the three Baltic nations are now free. We Viets are working hard so we will also be free, too.

[@zasmirko100]

I have many times thought about Vietnamese war. In the West there is common narrative that it was very bad that evil US intervened and very good that they went out and noble-minded Ho Chi Minh communists won. From my Estonian perspective that could be somewhat wrong story. Nobody in the West does speak about sufferings under communists or suffering of all those escaping on boats. Many of us Estonians escaped with small fishing boats above stormy sea, many drowned or hunted down by Russian military ships, so we can understand Viet-nam people well. Compare the "awful fate" of Japan or North-Korea, "progressive leftists" had not such influence and US army occupied both, didn't abandon them - and today they are democratic free countries. Let compare that with North-Korea's fate under the rule of glorious communists.

[@luongo7886]

@@zasmirko100 BRAVO!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING OUR SAD SITUATION IN VIETNAM. We need to get rid of communism as soon as possible. Also, very much like you, we have a big evil neighbor, China, that always wants to steal our land and murder people. Also, they love to claim Vietnamese inventions such as paper, rice agriculture, Asian architecture, Far East Asian cultures plus many other items were all invented by VIETNAMESE people. And the Chinese love to LIE and STEAL these great accomplishments from Vietnam.

[@luongo7886]

@@zasmirko100 We are not lucky like you and the rest of the Baltic nations. At least you are free from communism, but we are not. Please encourage Vietnamese people to get rid of communism, so we can be happy and rich like you. Thank you so much.

Surrendering one's weapons is never a good idea. There is a reason why they want to disarm you and trust me, it doesn't end well.

We are really sorry for the wait 😀 But the fourth episode will be around 30 minutes. We look forward to!

[@chrissmartin4137]

Nur die Wenigen die überlebt haben können uns erzählen. Es gab so viele Schicksale die unglaublich traurig sind. Gut erzählt. Only the survivors can tell their storys. There are so many other sad storys, never been told. God story so.

[@ukaszsikorski6728]

Bez urazu przyjaciele Czesi, ale odwagą w tej wojnie to wykazaliście dopiero w 1945. W okresie jak Niemcy kapitulowali i bez broni przez Wasze terytorium powracali do Niemiec.

[@ukaszsikorski6728]

@@nalimsniv to są epizody. Udział w czasie II wojny światowej Czesi mieli mały. Po rozpoczęciu wojny Czesi poddali się w błyskawicznym tempie. Czas okupacji też minął im na rozbudowie niemieckiego przemysłu. Sami Niemcy wspominali, ze w Czechach czuli się jak u siebie- bezpiecznie, bo tzw. Ruch Oporu był bardzo słaby. Wracając do niemieckich wspomnień to naśmiewają się, ze w momencie swojego odwrotu Czesi widząc obdartych, bez chęci walki Niemców odważali się im ubliżać lub zabrać coś z umundurowania, ale nie ma co się przejmować wielka Francja podobnie zapisała się w historii.

Estonian Resistance? I never heard anything about Estonian Resistance during WW2.🤔

[@warproductionscz]

A very interesting topic, which is much more comprehensive than it might seem.

[@Anthony-Sanders003]

@@warproductionscz I know, and that’s when I was wrong. They are not the Estonian Resistance, they are part of the Nazi Estonians working for the Waffen-SS during WW2. I saw them in a WW2 Eastern Front movie “1944!”

[@zasmirko100]

@@Anthony-Sanders003 If you think they were "Nazi" you are in the wrong path. Estonians didn't love Germans at all and they hate Nazis, but Soviet short -time occupation had been such a horror that anybody doesn't wanted to return of that - so only possibility to get arms and resist Russians was to join Waffen-SS. Have you ever thought why Estonians avoided German conscription at times when Germans were so successful - and massively joined German army at times when everyone understood that they are loosing? You seem to think that they were extreme Nazis with strong suicide inclinations? By the way, did you knew that when Estonian soldiers must to say Nazi greeting "Heil Hitler!" they said "Ei ütle!" instead - for Germans it sounded very similar, but in Estonian language it means "I don't say it!". Very Nazi surely.

Estonians didn't love Germans at all and they hate Nazis, but Soviet short -time occupation had been such a horror that anybody doesn't wanted to return of that - so only possibility to get arms and resist Russians was to join Waffen-SS (Non-Germans couldn't join Wermacht). Why Estonians avoided German conscription at times when Germans were so successful - and massively joined German army at times when everyone understood that they are loosing? They were not extreme Nazis with strong suicide inclinations, they just tried to stop Russians - and Estonian Blue Hills was only part of the whole front were Russians whole month couldn't go forward - and that made possible to escape about 100.000 Estonians Westwards.
