Only Few Seconds - WW2 Short film (Wehrmacht vs 506 Easy Company)

[@kainable8769]

As an American with family that served in the 101st and 82nd airborne. I was not offended at all, even though I was rout rout routing for the home team. This is a stark reminder that everyone fighting, on both sides is a human being. Thank you for showing respect for that fact. German: Als Amerikaner mit Familie, die im 101. und 82. Luftverkehr diente. Ich war überhaupt nicht beleidigt, obwohl ich Routing für das Heimteam war. Das ist eine scharfe Erinnerung daran, dass jeder, der auf beiden Seiten kämpft, ein Mensch ist. Danke, dass du Respekt vor dieser Tatsache gezeigt hast.

Excellent presentation - Often non-combatant (and civilian victims) do not understand that "war has a life of its own". We (military) do not want to kill - it was part of my duties to my country, like my parents, grand-parents, etc... had done in the past. Then, your best friend, someone who is like your brother gets "blown up" or shattered to pieces. You cannot cope with that, "the show must go on", no time to figure out what happened, to heal, ... it becomes "them" or "you/us" and sadly enough, things get out of hand very easily - there is no time to think. A captured "enemy" was brought up to me, the security detail undressed him almost completely (some carry booby-traps), I saw pictures of his family among the content of his pockets - it is crazy, I was shocked! I was surprised that in this wasteful war, these people (the other side) were like me, had families, houses, pets, kids... I will always remember the tears in that soldier's eyes when we took his pictures and a Rosary (Catholic) away from him, he was a human, he prayed, he wore a (catholic) medal, just like me. We gave him the pictures/Rosary back. It has been decades, still have the nightmares, the scars, the fears... Peace be with you all, Ciao, L (Veteran)

When snipers were caught, it never ended well for them. There was the sense that it was a coward's way to fight. Not true of course since being a sniper was a very dangerous profession, and if you got caught at the tail end of a firefight, it ended badly for you (as noted above).

History is subsidised and written by the victors. Even with 10 years without television, my learnings begin with real people. I am 55 now but I started talking to my grandfather about WW1. He was 90+ and bald from the war. He was buried alive. He survived and lost his hair. I remember asking him what it is like being 90 (not about the war because I was too young). His answer from someone who was 90+ to a child sitting on his Knee? "I'm the same person as before but old". Strange what you remember.

+Josh Weaver RC Hey Josh. This is always nice to read. I'm German and myself served for 6 years with the Gebirgsjäger (231. Battallion in Bad Reichenhall) Besides that also a Tour as part of KFOR in Kosovo. I'm 33 now. I grew up with American WW2 Veterans (who decided to stay in Germany after the War or move here sometime later) coming over to BBQ my Grandfather hosted in the Summer every Weekend. He was a Waffen-SS Soldier and fought first with the 6th Division "Nord" together with the Finns up in Karelia against the Soviets and later was transfered to the 1st Division "LAH" where he fought against Americans in the Battle of the Bulge or as we call it "Ardennenoffensive". During these BBQs he of course also had his former surviving Comrades come over. That Grandfather is now 100 years old and only one of these former American "Enemies and now Friends is still alive at 98 years old. They still meet for Coffee, Cake and sometimes a Beer, but only rarely. My point being: It seems Veterans, especially in KZbin Comment Sections are the only ones most of the time who don't spout Hatred and act disrespectful to whatever the Topic of the Video is about. Just like my Experiences between former Axis WW2 Veterans and Western Allied WW2 Veterans becoming Friends many Years after the War, no Grudge to be seen, no tense Arguments, no Insults but instead mutual Respect, and of course friendly crude Banter and Jokes about another. I hope that becomes more common, i've seen english speaking Media do a few Pieces the past 10 Years on Axis Vet and Allied Vet becoming good Friends after the War, hope we see more of these as long as they're still alive. Or at least that Fact becoming more common Knowledge. Prost! and Cheers from Berchtesgaden, Bavaria

While watching a war movie some SS soldiers shot some American prisoners...I said what rats they were for doing it. He looked at me and said we did the same thing....he went on to say his unit had taken a prisoner...with no men to spare to take him anywhere...no way to effectively fight while guarding the prisoner...they gave him a cigerate and while he was preoccupied...he was shot in the back of the head ....unlike the movies or tv there was no animosity or joy in doing it...it just had to be done . If they had let him go that day he might have killed another American or other allies . Wars are bad and to be avoided by all reasonable means.....but when you're at war...you make war .

Great movie! It is is interesting and enlightening to watch German soldiers being portrayed in a modern German movie production as actual people and not just extras or cannon fodder. My German Grandfather fought both on the French and Russian fronts (wounded twice). My great Uncle Rudi was captured at Stalingrad. This is kind of a tribute to them. That’s a good thing. They deserve it. My father was an American soldier in Europe in 44/45. He turned 21 in some German berg on VE Day. He and I used to love to watch the series Combat! which, for all its hokey faults, was about the best WWII show you could watch from the 60’s Hollywood genre. He would have enjoyed this short film. I think my Opa Herm would have as well. Not much left of my Uncle Rudi after he got out of the Gulags in 1955. Not sure he could have watched it at all. Anyway, good job. Thanks!

Only place I could find it as KZbin strikes it down. I think you will enjoy it. I was privileged to work for a couple WW2 German soldiers in my youth. They were honorable men and fair bosses which started my slow re-evaluation of the history I had been indoctrinated with. TBH, I think we would have been better off if the Germans had won.

[@TheAirplaneDriver]

Jeff Smith - thanks for sharing Jeff. Honestly, however, I can’t really agree with your last comment. I am generally okay with the concept of Germany reclaiming some of their rightful lands (ie the Sudetenland) taken from them after WWI, but that is as far as I can find myself supporting (or even understanding) their expanded “cause” in WWII. But, with that said and as a Vet myself (no combat) I still respect the courage and sacrifices that the grunts on the ground made on both sides. The famous saying....”there are no atheists in foxholes” can, I think, be expanded to “there are no atheists or politicians in foxholes”. Soldiers are soldiers, for the most part. But, again, thanks for sharing. I’ll check those videos out.

[@jeffdurden398]

@@TheAirplaneDriver Thanks for your service. I come from a family with a lot of vets, so I mean that. I was presupposing that the US should have stayed out of both WW1 and 2. Look into the Balfour Declaration and it's part in our entry into WW1, Lusitania's cargo etc. You will have to dig a little deeper than Wikipedia. It wasn't like I woke up one day and said, "Ruprect was a dick, but a good boss" and "Earnst was one of the nicest guys I ever met, so the story I was told about WW2 in school was crap." I noticed a lot of little things over the years re WW2 that did not add up. I definitely wasn't told that the Axis had made several serious peace offers before 1942! Take a look at, "A Jew In Auschwitz" by David Cole, "Europa the Last Battle" and maybe "The Greatest Story Never Told". You might have to go to Bitchute or Archive for them. Be well, and have a good winter.

[@Justin_Kipper]

Excellent post, you covered a lot of ground, and I agree with most of what you said. _Combat!_ was a very good series, all things considered...I knew a lot of vets who liked that show, as it tried to be realistic even though it was a prime-time network series. Director Robert Altman got fired in Season One because it was _too_ realistic (he had cast members get killed), but somehow, the series continued along that gritty path for most of the 5 seasons. However, I can't recommend things like _The Greatest Story Never Told_. While it tries to tell the other side of the story (and there are always 2 sides), it sinks into absurd propaganda...totally unlike these beautiful films that Pepe makes.

Good film. Some ppl here talking about why war and for what ideology do we do it. I went w some vets to the recruiting office. Not yet opened, so, many young ppl were in line in front. The vets had a film player that showed the clip of Jon Voigt's speech from "Coming Home" to the graduating senior class at a H.S. Afterward, We interviewed the kids waiting to apply for military enlistment. The film touched no one. The answers were all the same. "This has nothing to do with ideology. It's a job. I need a job and this is a job with decent pay and benefits." That is why people are willing to kill others. It is a job. Ethics go amiss when hunger creeps in.

Perfectly depicts the total waste of lives that come from war, no matter which side a person is on.

[@Pomer2222]

Well, you would consider this otherwise if you were defending your home and your family from raging animals like those nazi’s. Then you would try hard to waste as many of them as you can before you get wasted. And there will be perfect point for you to sacrifice your life so your children can live. There’s no place for bs in a war.

[@carycoller3140]

@@Pomer2222 I acknowledge all that you say. My point was, which I did not properly explain, is that because governments can't resolve issues they send people to war, which wastes lives on both or all sides.

[@Pomer2222]

@@carycoller3140 it seems a bit more complicated to me. And I have my reasons. My friend from Germany asked me once: why do everyone hate germans for them being nazis, when there is even more nazis in England? Well, I have a simple answer, but time can change my reasoning 🤷🏻‍♂️

Deutsche Heer vs 506 Easy Company should be the title. Wehrmacht is a broad term meaning German Armed Forces while Deutsche Heer means German Army.

[@phillipweissburg1882]

Distinction without a difference....they loved Hitler...all of them..

[@richardspinosa6277]

correct people associate Wehrmacht , with regular german army , non SS, however as you correctly noted Wehrmacht was Germany’s entire military , Heer, luftwafe and kreigsmarine .

Be encouraged and pursue creating more movies. Try to view the critics with objectivity as you craft the storyboard for your next film. I look forward to another war picture from your team. I enjoy seeing films at the squad level.

[@frankieblue1945]

I loved it! I simply LOVE the W.W.II movies AND I am a Hugh stickler for detail. Aside form the obvious fake grenades & gun fire I am disappointed in the lack of swastikas on the helmets & uniforms; the hippie culture has apparently spread across the globe because we can't offend anyone by showing a symbol that actually DID exist. I see it as another way of rewriting history; if you don't show it how it was then in a few more generations nobody will remember what the swastika meant & stood for. Very sad that we would lie to our children like that.

[@johnmead2781]

Frankie The Hat yeah, the eagle with swastika is missing from German uniforms (though most were wearing over garments), decals were removed from helmets in late 1943.

[@carlbrett6383]

Sorry I saw some helmet decals and tunic eagles

[@DevilsCrown]

This scene is one of the late 44s most likely in the Ardennes or just after so its actually really authentic to see no decals on helmets. Most of them are wearing a tarn camo fabric cover anyway so you wouldnt see it. Also in the ending period of the war the M42 helmets were poorly disigned to spare resourses. You can see that on the edges of late war models where its just a blunt edge instead of the shaped bend. Also decals were left off to save production time.

[@mamtaraj8674]

Too bad, millions died over this Swastika symbol without knowing it's real meaning. It means "auspiciousness and wellness for all" and NOT some racial signature.

[@daveharden5929]

Been a long time since we shared a video. Idk, maybe it's the realism of the dialogue (all in deutch) which you will appreciate, but after watching this evening I was so moved that I should share this with you. It's a bitter and short ww2 tale of a squad of 12th SS LAH, western front 1945. Excellent reenactors with authentic equipment. I was very moved and as it's sadly the way one is supposed to feel, asides from the wider ramifications of nazism and the SS were about.
