📷▶ Shocking Photos from World War II You Must See! Historical Photographs

[@johnholmes6897]

I was 17 when i joined the Army. Filled with stories of heroics and glory i walked into the recruiters. Having family that both survived and lost in the holocaust, i wanted to do my part. Stayed in for years. My heroics and glory turned into a fight for my life. Now I'm in and out of the VA hospital wondering where the glory went. I guess Hollywood got that part.

Thank you, and all others, for your service to combat evil and human discrimination including, "Those of us who may think that we are more righteous and more deserving than you and yours." We do our parts to help ensure equality and independence, and then add in some "Dignity". I have; "Better Glory In Our Lives", because of your service. Folks like you, yours and ours can make a good difference when we set our minds and resources to IT. If we are also striving to "better our worlds thru your and our services"; then you are also "mine and my kind of folks". My father was 82nd Airborne for four years in WWII, starting in N. Africa and then some years later, marched into Berlin. He was not the same when he returned home. He remained haunted by what he had to do to survive, and the buddies that he lost and picked up pieces of.... and other horrors that he would take to his grave in his 60's. He was a very mean drunk, which he also overcame, eventually and before he passed-on. They were an amazing generation. God Bless You & Yours. Peace for the universe. Carry-On.

[@johnholmes6897]

@waltersabin8099 the 82nd is an awesome unit and the place where i got my start and the most honor I've ever experienced. Being a paratrooper has a certain pride (and insanity) that comes with it. Great memories.

I worked as a nurse in the VA. I witnessed first hand the maltreatment of patients mostly from nursing assistants who weren’t even born in the US. They even boss the nurses around 😢

Most Japanese soldiers died fighting to the death because they were lied to by their superiors about how they would be treated if captured. Their superiors didn't want them to find out they were lying.

Narrittor has done a great job explaining this and has done his job getting information I have always thought that the fuel tanks on pearl harbour were not blown up as they were supposed to invade the island and take over and Would of needed the fuel

[@Baskerville22]

The photo at 16.06 is not "Jews being deported by train...". Clearly the 'passengers' in the open compartments are soldiers - probably Russian POWs. At 20.58, the "Weeping Frenchman" is not in Paris watching the German conquerers marching thru' the streets of Paris. He is in Marseilles watching the flags of fallen France being marched through the streets of Marseilles on their way to Africa. The French regimental flags had been moved into the south of France in order to preserve them from the surrender. The man's name is Jerome Barzetti.

It was kinda a backhanded way the Americans handled the liberation of Rome. Especially with Canadians roll in Italian Stalingrad. And the battle and liberation of Ortona (Bloody December) etc... Then when the Canadians arrive on June 4, 1944. The Canadians were left back while the Americans roll into Rome and take all the credit. They wouldn't let the Canadians be a part of it.😠

[@michaelrooks4030]

What u think only u and the yanks did the fighting in Italy..u as bad as the yanks.cant remember many Canadian soldiers fighting the Germans from North Africa into Tunisa ..then all the way to Rome

You seem to be saying that just the Nazis committed Genocidal Killings in Ukraine but it was the Ukrainians aswell. Most Balcan Countries joined in on Genocides with Germans.

[@ResolUloseR]

100% this. So many Ukrainians gleefully helped the Nazis in all these SS town-wide genocides.

[@northwalescoast7911]

Yes indeed

[@Taketimeout3]

And the Russians didn't lift a finger to prevent the German destruction of Warsaw. Don't forget that one, Ivan.

[@chrisjones6804]

Was it only the Nazis? I thought they were all Germans. How many Nazi were there ?

[@MARYREED-nh7gb]

How many Nazis? That would depend on when you did the survey. In the 1930 and into the 40's just about everyone in Germany and many other countries were Nazi. After the WW2 and the defeat of Germany, well you couldn't fine many people who would admit to it. The running gag at the time by Americans was there no Nazis in Germany, just Eskimos.

[@michaelrooks4030]

​@@MARYREED-nh7gbthey only said that because by the time America joint the war ..most of well trained and experienced German soldiers were dead

W/out the umlaut spelled Hoess. The umlaut takes the place of "e" after the vowel in Deutsch.

Never again - "Man's Inhumanities to man." Perhaps we just need to be better at "IT": "The Holy Spirits That We Are; And Strive To Better Become a part of "The Holy Ghost". AMEN!!!" Just continue doing things right and "Rejoice In Glory", including having a little help from The Holy Trinity. So, "Carry On About Our IT's", and "IT" is what it is - plus what we choose to better, including things like "Increasing Goodwill Joys Of All Others." And forgiveness when we fall short. We all like to smile, chuckle, and laugh again, and a little more.

I haven’t really seen too many shocking photos, I mean, no photos of after hangings, executions, those wouldn’t be shocking because like others have mentioned, war is brutal, but if you’re not going to show everything, then it’s kind of a waste. I guess if you did show something, you would have to blurr it out, thanks to fear from KZbin. I might sound like I have no compassion, but history is history, show it all. But I imagine that most of the younger generation aren’t interested in real history anyway, so they would see how really shocking war is. 🤔🥸
