New Zealand Family Reacts to The Fallen of WW2 (Emotional)

In Russia there was actually a period of time after WWII called "The Fatherless Generation" because almost every single young to middle aged man im the entire country died in the war. Its honestly hard to fathom just how monumental these numbers truly are.

Without checking up I can confidently say that, for example, Kazakhstan didn't suffer nearly as much as Russia. Your little correction smells of Russophobia, which in the current circumstances can be understandable, but it's still a scummy way of thinking.

[@olzhaskenzhegulov2039]

@@lemmypop1300 at the moment of WW2 there was one big country - Soviet Union. One of the most multinational country in the world, which consisted 15 republics of nowadays and more than 100 nationalities. Yes, other nationalities couldn't "suffer" more than russians comparing the numbers of dead people, but you should notice 2 moments: 1) In WW2 on the east front Soviet Union, not Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, etc.; 2) If you wanna compare the suffering of people by the number of people, compare using the rate of dead people by whole people. For example, there were about 99,5M russian people and 3,1M kazakh people in Soviet Union at the beginning of WW2. So it's not clever to compare it that way.

I am German and, unfortunately, both my grandfathers had to fight in WW2. Both my maternal and paternal family was hit hard by the war: either by the death of a son or brother or because of the loss of their homes after the German minorities were forcefully deported or had to flee from the annexed territories in Eastern Europe. But it is no excuse for the horrible crimes that were committed in German name, especially in Poland, Yugoslawia and the former USSR. My maternal grandfather was deeply fond of Russian culture, of Russian music and literature and was utterly disgusted by the crimes committed not only by the SS, but also from the Wehrmacht. (Like the shooting of commissars or the execution of female Red army soldiers.) He definitely felt guitly about his participation as an element of the German war machine (he was a radio operator in a tank division), even if he had no choice. Since my early childhood, I remember him for being quite tolerant against other ethnic groups, religions and even other sexual preferences (especially for his time). He told me about the ferociousness of the fighting before Rzhev, when the Red Army fearlessly ran against the German lines and suffered heavy casualties. He said, that he and his comrades couldn't believe the bravery of these men (and women) and that he himself felt utterly heartbrocken to watch their dead bodies in their thousands on the battlefield. He always stressed that the Germans were the ruthless invaders and that anything that befell the German population was sown by the Nazis in the end. War is madness, and I pray to god, that such an idiocy will never again occur.

We have a similar issue here in the USA. Too many think of Memorial Day as simply a day to enjoy the fine weather and grill food outside.

Russia paid a far higher Butcher's Bill than others in that conflict, but no nation involved escaped without paying in blood. Perhaps on our respective Memorial Day's we should take a moment to also raise a glass to the fallen of other nations in remembrance that they died for their people as ours died for us, and in doing so resolve to only resort to war as a last resort.

I have been working on my family genealogy for the past 3 years, and there was one family line that was Jewish/Russian on my tree. I found one awesome census record that listed several generations including Aunts and Uncles, and Grandparents to the one woman on my tree. It happened that this family line intersected my family line by marriage of one of the daughters to an American.......she immigrated to the US just before WWII. After WWII there are no living records of any of the other 28-30 individuals that were on the last census record. Upon further research I found that the entire family had lived in the direct area of one of the top worst Jewish Concentration Camps. Then it hit me.....none of the family had survived EXCEPT the one daughter that made it out before the war started. To this day it makes me physically ill to think about this and it brings me to tears. That war was so awful in so many ways. I pray the day never comes when this atrocity is repeated.

The US mixingpot wasn't just a collection of economic migrants, in fact, our most influential and important roots are from those fleeing oppression elsewhere in the world - Irish, Italians, Protestants, Jews, Poles, etc - and you can see the pockets in the US tell a story of when, where, and why different groups came to the US - when the Exodus was. I think it's in part because of this that we were so reluctant to intervene and return to the continent in WWI and WWII. We weren't simply children of colonists anymore, most of us were children of the thought criminals, blasphemers, and scapegoats of Europe. It's also telling that once the sleeping giant was awoken, we decided never to leave Europe again.

The authors speak incorrectly about the siege of Leningrad. Food supplies were coming across the lake. Since the Germans and Finns could not put their troops there. But there were not enough ships and they were constantly bombed. In winter, when the lake froze, the cars walked right on the ice. Even when the ice began to melt in the spring and the cars could drown, the drivers still went and took risks to deliver food to the besieged city. Where the famine was aggravated by the fact that the Germans bombed large food warehouses at the beginning of the siege. Also, if possible, residents were evacuated from the city. Also on the lake under bombing, because the Germans didn't care who to bomb, military or civilians. But many did not survive the first winter of the blockade. Food went, of course, first of all to the troops. Then it went to those who worked in factories. And only then to those who did not work. At the most difficult moment of the siege, the first winter, for several weeks the ration of the unemployed was only 250 grams for the whole day. I'm from Russia, I know. We have the theme of our part of the Second World War, we call it the Great Patriotic War, this is the most important part of our historical memory. Every year we have a military parade on Victory Day in memory of her. In addition, in recent years, on this day in all cities, not only in Russia and the former USSR countries, but also everywhere where Russians live, people come out on this day with portraits of relatives who passed this war. And one of the most important places in our memory of that war is, among other things, the siege of Leningrad and the road of life... The road of life was called the road on the ice of Lake Ladoga, through which drivers delivered everything necessary for the city at the risk of their lives.Stalin's cruelty to his people, especially regarding the Great Patriotic War, is greatly exaggerated in the Western world. You don't know much about our war at all. There is a good Western documentary series of the 70s on this topic, called the Unknown War. It was filmed in the USA together with the USSR.Our people were ready to fight to the death themselves. They gave the last for the soldiers to the front. Often our soldiers blew themselves up with grenades in order not to be captured and destroy at least one more enemy soldier. Many civilians caught up in the occupation also took up arms, created partisan detachments and attacked the rear of the invading army. It was truly a people's war for our people. No one forced them to fight, people were ready to sacrifice themselves, especially seeing what the German soldiers were doing. It's not about Stalin and the Communists. We have such a people who are ready to endure any hardships for the sake of victory. And a lot of things are greatly distorted, as I said above.

In 1945, he and many others were freed by American soldiers, who, according to him, treated them well and treated them to their own food (all the candy and candy bars went to the children). My great-grandfather Sasha (Alexander) was a communist until the end of his life, and he taught me this too. And as a descendant of such people, I want to thank the American soldiers.

Yet these soldiers were there to do their part to liberate Europe from a madman and his regime. He lost countless friends over the months he spent there fighting. The regime he started with was all killed and he was reassigned several times. He was wounded twice and went right back to the front when he recovered. He was an explosives expert and had to sweep for landmines as well as plant C2 explosive charges to blow up bridges to cut the German armies off from protected supply routes. He blew up bunkers and had to take many lives... something that plagued him all his life. He was what would be called a Tunnel Rat by today's military. He was there until the war ended and unlike many others less fortunate he was able to come home, get married to my mother and start a family. He died in 2011 at the age of 90 but before he passed he sat with me for hours at a time telling me everything he could recall of the war. I guess he just wanted to finally get it all out there and be done with his survivors' guilt and the guilt that he had to take lives to stay alive.

My girlfriend explained it to me after dinner. I sobbed telling my stepdad what I had learned, and slept on the floor in my parents bedroom for a while. I kept watching Atlanta and Denzel, it’s so much to take in, but they are learning from you both instead of teachers at school. Love you NZ Family ❤️

My other grandpa dies two years after the war... He was in Stalingrad with a 2000 man army and from these 2000 German soldiers my grandpa came only with his friend back

[@kellywann3794]

Thank you for doing this. We shouldn’t forget. My father and two uncles were in the Pacific Theater. Two other uncles were in Europe. Luckily they all made it home. When my father died at the age of 93 he was honored by our town in Colorado as well as my stepsister’s town in Oklahoma. We were also sent a letter of appreciation from President Trump. But father never boasted about his service. He was a gunner in the navy. Nor did my uncles, they were a stoic lot.

only for russians it is difficult to admit the guilt of Stalin and soviet regime at so much loses. Even Nikolay Nikulin, a russian soviet soldier wrote a book "Memories of the war". There author very clearly described how the soviet union fought, putting thousands of soldiers behind 1km of swamp. They just didnt count people otherwise Allies and even Germany. soviets didn't care about people ant it is a famous proverb - women gave birth again new soldiers.

А касаемо "помнишь и не предашь, и не допустишь", то тут ты в пролете. Допустил, Россия напала на Украину и ведет там захватническую войну. Россия в прямом смысле повторяет фашистские речи Гитлера, обесчеловечивая украинцев. И как ты можешь помнить то, чего не видел? И научись писать нормально по-русски.

Будущие фашисты будут себя называть антифашистами - Черчиль. Ведь легко проводить любую военную операцию или политику, называя своего врага фашистом. Тогда можно с ним делать что угодно, хоть уничтожать города, или резать головы, ведь дело то правое

My great grandpa was a marine and fought in the battle of iwo jima. Luckily he escaped major injury just some minor hearing problems and a few chunks of shrapnel in his arms. My grandpa was a army paratrooper with owned airborne in europe. He also came home mostly safe. Him to hearing issues and some minor shrapnel chunks. Plus I had a great uncle that was a pow in the Philippines during that time but he also got out without losing his life but my mom said he wasn't the same when he came home.war is bad and takes its toll on lives but also families and I hope there's never another war like ww2. When Americans found concentration camps the highest ranking General Eisenhower brought as many photographers and film makers over as he could to document the evils Hitler and his Reich did. Eisenhower said he wanted proof because some time in the future some stupid S.O.B will say this never happened. And alot of people who hate israel and jewish folks say it never happened and the proof is fake. Alot of the younger generation in america wasnt tought right in school because of liberal socialist anti Jewish hate actually taught there.it's sad.

Don't write what you don't know. According to various sources, the military losses of the USSR army amount to 10-11 million soldiers. The remaining 16-17 million people are civilians who died from bombing, starvation, cold and ill-treatment by the German occupation administration. Also, do not forget that army units of almost all European countries fought against the USSR on the German side, to be precise, all except Yugoslavia and Greece.

According to the declassified data of the State Planning Committee of the USSR, the losses of the Soviet Union in World War II amount to 41 million 979 thousand, and not 27 million, as previously thought. The total decline in the population of the USSR in 1941-1945 was more than 52 million 812 thousand people. Of these, irretrievable losses as a result of the action of war factors are more than 19 million military personnel and about 23 million civilians.

I am both fortunate and have losses due to WWII. My dad was in the Navy during WWII and was stationed on Okinawa. I am blessed that dad survived because I was born a little over 20 years after it ended. Mom and I are of Jewish heritage. My grandparents were from Russia. My grandfather's older brothers started emigrating to The USA the beginning of the 20th Century. My grandfather emigrated here a few years after WWI, in 1923. Six years later my grandmother and aunt came. Mom was born a year later. But sadly, several of our family did not come over here and they were caught in the trap that was set by the Nazis. Thank you for sharing this. It definitely gives me a totally different perspective on WWII. What a wake up call.
