[@kawythowy867]

Amazing footage.

[@waynelittle646]

The German army were very well trained men

[@thomasharter4978]

GREAT

[@scheckter79]

Great footage but unfortunately the comments don't fit to the scenes

[@nikolajmadum8381]

5:55 that sound of the howitzer is so nice, almost whistling

[@ГерманАхмедов-ю7е]

The war began with the liberation of territories occupied by the USSR

[@Nel33147]

Yah , and then the liberators became worse occupiers 😊

[@xada2397]

@@Nel33147 Not even close. The Germans couldn't match Soviet brutality even if they wanted to, as Germany was led by noble men, unlike the savage Asiatics in the Soviet government.

[@karingeer844]

best army ever

[@teevee2145]

Not exactly.. woeful losers

[@brian8410]

Those planes today would be perfect for shooting down drones.

[@lastcommodore2071]

Even today, some people in Latvia commemorate the Nazis as heroic liberators.

[@zhgut82]

Some? Their government does it for more than 30 years. Ordinary nazism. Typical Latvia.

[@johannchristian2551]

If you call germans nazis then please call russians communists and also call Americans anti-christian globalists

[@mohammadrakibulislam7573]

Why they hate Russians this much?

[@LibertyPrime-ur5vt]

​@@zhgut82that's good

[@garywayne6083]

This footage really makes the idea that they could supply this army that far from the homeland even more irrational.

[@blueindigo1000]

That cannon has a pretty slow rate of fire.

[@НиколайМарковски-ш2ж]

Това е забавен кадър!

[@Putler_kaputler]

Цветочками 🎉забрасывали😅

[@norbertoparada6293]

¿ Y DESPUÉS , COMO LES FUE ??.- CUENTEN.-

[@sigibassano7826]

Dann kam der russische Winter und hat den Russen ihren Arsch gerettet . Ansonsten würde man heute deutsch in Moskau sprechen . Das ist passiert

[@shanemoore8055]

Russische Eier, hmmmmm lecker

[@kurtwehner8328]

aber nicht lange...

[@greenman2435]

А немецкие?

[@rokana9641]

The poor souls handing out flowers to their "liberators". If only they knew...

[@michaelofminsk8951]

even now we have people who will always welcome NATO feet over them , bitchy people are everywhere more or less, thankfully, they are not majority, back then in Belarus only there were 500-600 thousand people who koined partisans and resistance and fought Nazi successfully, but those who collaborated were about 40 thousand for the entire country, many times less

[@jackkruese4258]

Putin hasn’t forgotten

[@lukturs]

At that time, the German army was a lesser evil for Latvians than Russian bandits.

[@zhgut82]

@@luktursAha. Say it to Jews. If they still exist in such nazi state as Latvia. Or so called “ukraine”. Or Canada and all these applauses to SS-volunteer hunko…

[@jimanderson7648]

Germans SS & Gestapo were more evil towards Slovak people than the Baltics people not saying they weren't evil towards Baltics because they probably were

[@garthhaver3513]

Looks like this was taken about summer of forty-one. Looks like just after Barbarossa. Those were amazing shots of me-110 I believe. This may have been the fighting in Ukraine as well. This was obviously a propaganda film to show the folks back home how well the wermach was doing. As a note, those people waving to the Nazis as they were passing by in review, we're going to be paying for that much later. Better believe the political commissars much later we're going to be having a field day
