Mauthausen Massacre - Brutal Execution of Nazi Guards after Mauthausen's Liberation - World War 2

@@davidsigalow7349 That's not the question. The question is, why do we feel this way about the Germans, but the Japanese, who did the EXACT SAME THING to allied prisoners, prisoners who looked and were treated EXACTLY LIKE THIS, and had much worse things done to them via unit 731, why did THEY get off scott free while the Germans were treated like this?

@@crforfreedom7407 General MacArthur made a calculated decision to not prosecute the Emperor, but I wish I had an answer as to why more Japanese were not tried and hanged for war crimes. Both Japan and Germany launched Wars of Annihilation, massacred millions of civilians and killed /tortured POWs. Both countries deserved utter destruction as a means of discrediting the murderous sick ideology that they both had embraced.

Great info. Great channel. Shines light on lesser known events and people in the holocaust. It really disgusts me. And thats the point. We all have to remember and respect the fallen victims. Especially when there are ignorant and despicable people who deny (or worse) justify these atrocities. Thank you for this vital education

Arguably worse atrocities were committed by the Japanese. Idk why this channel won’t cover them

I was at work one day and got just the smallest amount of a phenol mist on my arm. It burned like nobody's business. I can not begin to imagine how sick a person has to be in their head and cold in their heart to inject phenol directly into a person's heart. No matter what excuse he makes for the act. I shed NO tears for this monster.

[@FoxSullivan]

Love this channel, the narrator's voice is crisp and the pacing is perfect. But not gonna lie, I almost spit my drink at the end when it started saying "There were many tears shed..." before clarifying it was for the prisoners.

You do such excellent work with a difficult subject. Again, thanks for showing pictures of some of the victims so they are not forgotten.

[@angelofmyheart1967]

When I was 12 yo, I found my older brothers for "Men Only" magazines. They had many articles and pictures on the concentration camps in nazi Germany. At a young age, I was appalled by the cruelty and crimes committed against people I saw no reason to be hated to this degree. I still don't and it disgust me that one human could do that to another human being. Let's not forget lest history repeats itself.

[@calebschultz9935]

I might of learned who the Nazis where when I was about 11 or 12 and it was disturbing! Especially when they where incinerated every step was dark and the more I learned it got darker and darker! 😱 I really had no idea who those demons where and what they where capable of! Even the worst person you knew didn't begin to describe these monsters!

[@angelofmyheart1967]

@Caleb Schultz Exactly. I remember the pictures of the dead people, the incinerators and then there were stories too. Stories of death marches where the prisoners never got food or water. The only liquid the men drank were their own urine. My little 12 yo mind couldn't handle the full horror of it all.

[@dorianmclean6755]

I'm 71...we were taught and shown images of WW11. I remember being sick about it and wondered if I could even continue my education. Now at 71 I feel the same way But I am so grateful this atrocity is being shown to the world. I actually know people who think this is a lie. Thank you for these images and history. God help us all

[@tonymcdonnly6492]

[@roymartin500]

It seems to me the archetypical SS guard was like a juvenal bully turned wild, told they could do anything they wanted and justified by recent reforms of hate in public schools, hitler youth indoctrination and SS guard training. This is the day the bullies got there just due. The US Army may have done wrong but as many veterans of those units that made the liberation have said, "emotions had boiled over, these poor survivors now had a chance to reflect on loved ones lost instead of just surviving and just couldn't be consoled, our guys felt that pain and anger and helped, some of them at least". A trial should've been held and eventually did but it's extremely hard to feel any empathy for these SS bullies and capos. Great job World History team! Thanks.

[@dougwigley8072]

My Dad was a Staff Sergeant in the Eleventh Armored Division (21AIB Co. B) which liberated Mauthausen and Gusen concentration camps. He told me that when they arrived at Mauthausen there were around 400 bodies stacked like cordwood. Dad said that they did what they could to feed the survivors but they continued to drop dead for days due to long term abuse and malnutrition.

[@army8212]

Mauthausen is a very large camp and well kept. To really get a feeling and understanding of the camp it really requires just about a full day visit. The view is incredible but it's heartbreaking to realize the suffering which took place there. Also, the Gusen camp is only about a ten-minute drive but only the crematoriums are left. The rest of the Gusen camp was torn down and houses and apartments now occupy the site.

I doubt they sympathize with anything Nazi. It’s probably to grab attention in the title since you pretty much need to in order to get any views.
