Stalingrad's Valley of the Dry Bones - Reburial of hundreds of World War II soldiers

Its insane the amount of remains. Sorting them in these boxes like a big puzzle piece. Bags with so many bones makes its own hollow sound. All of them once were sons, brothers, fathers, uncles with futures and dreams ahead of them. All while the ones who lead these devastations stay in protected chambers. And how as a society have we learned. Here we are again. Same country involved. Different times resulting In the same consequence. more wasted lives that want no part in this. Repeating all over again.

Know your enemy the 1% elite collectively work as one entity behind closed doors . Our fear is their power without our cooperation they are powerless. Disposing of the instigators of war is the only way to true world peace. The bankers and the politicians want these wars for profit its always been that way since the dawn of capitalism. The leaders are the problem more than likely behind closed doors the Ukraine conflict was organized by leaders from both sides to extract wealth from tax payers . The elite control the mainstream media narrative to fit each different populations expectations and deceptively play off the people against each other with lies and propaganda . Illusory truth effect .

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

What is so sobering to me is the fact that these young men lives had only just begun. I am sure there were many 20 and 30 something year old men but a majority of these soldiers would have been 16 to 22 - 23 or so. Very young and yes, there were many 16 and 17 year old Russian solders in WW2 that served and that were killed. Imagine killing another man before you even experienced love and intimacy with another woman. Very sad and sobering.

In the 70s I was really into WW2 because my Opa was in the 8th PD on the eastern front. I once made a nasty remark about the Russian soldier. He said that I should never do that. That they were in the same situation everyone was in. They were humans with families who loved them. This was interesting because he was in constant war from 40 to 45. A front line Panzerjager who lost many friends. But he never had that hatred you would expect.

The US lost 0,3% of its population in WWII. In Eastern Europe the percentages go up to 15% of the population killed. Unimaginable numbers. The funeral shown in this video concerns about 0,1% of the total Soviet casualties at Stalingrad.

[@finscreenname]

@@CrocodileTear A quarter of the people in the Soviet Union were wounded or killed. The Soviet Union lost around 27 million people during the war, including 8.7 million military and 19 million civilian deaths.

[@pjotrtje0NL]

There is also a distinct difference in the way the leaders saw their troops. For the one they were important pawns, bishops, etc., for the other they were a human wall in a battle of attrition at the home land… (And Stalin had Soviet troops executed on the spot if they refused to progress and attack.)

[@finscreenname]

@@pjotrtje0NL I'm thinking that's more made up wester folklore then truth. The Russians got mauled right out of the box by the Germans and had plenty of motivation to fight back with everything they had (even sticks and stones). The issue at the start was they didnt have much but a crap ton of uneducated people. So ya just like the Japanese when outnumbered and out of ammo would raise their swords and charge American lines. And the Germans on many occasions left whole armies surrounded and Hitler told them not to break out and hold at all costs (Stalingrad and a 100 other times) just to be killed or captured. Stalin was not a military genius but he ended up with some pretty good generals who cared for their men and women.

انه امر محزن ان تراء هولا الذين اكثرهم في عمر الشباب فقدو حياتهم سداء🥺🥺🥺

[@petermacmillan6756]

About 20 million Soviet soldiers and civilians were killed in World War Two, and the grief of parents, children, siblings, spouses, and friends was every bit as painful for them as for people anywhere. The volunteers who work so hard to honor the fallen are doing important, honorable work. It shocks me that as I write this, Russian soldiers are being sent to their deaths in an unjustified and pointless invasion of Ukraine.

[@CrocodileTear]

Of the three guys hammering together the coffins in the opening scene of this video, one has been killed and another severely wounded in Ukraine.

Honor to does brave people that give their lives for their own. So sad history where any one wins. Old woman visiting the graves of brothers, sons. No dictaitor may have such a power over de lives of others, never again.

[@CrocodileTear]

Never again, but it is happening right now.

That,s insane alright, mind blowing the amount of bones

[@hiesman6]

Never forget them!

[@darrellbesser3606]

Were any of the remains identified ?

[@CrocodileTear]

Only about 1 or 2%, the ones who are buried in small individual boxes.

[@thurin84]

boy, theres no mistaking that rattle of bones. and that tiny piece of shrapnel is a very poignant reminder of how fragile flesh and bone are in the face of fire and steel. and now russia and ukraine are busily providing work for future volunteers. may sanity one day return to the world.

[@ColterBrog]

Is there much effort made in assigning an identity to the remains? Or given the paper identity tags, deterioration over time, and the large numbers of bodies, is it just not practical to do so anymore? Touching seeing a lot of young people out to pay respects to those long ago lost soldiers.

[@CrocodileTear]

Assigning an ID to the Soviet soldiers is very difficult. It normaly is only possible 1% or 2% of the time. Watch some of my longer videos where this is explained.

[@TheTraktergirl]

When you do these excavations do you say a prayer for the souls?

[@CrocodileTear]

I personaly dont, but others do, as can be seen in several of my videos.

[@combrogi]

I'm not sure what the exact point is. If you can't identify the exact soldier for the relatives then what's the point. If I was found dead in a field years later and unidentifiable then it would make no difference to me if I stayed there or was dug up and moved somewhere else. Or is it just to 'honor' the dead killed as cannon fodder.

[@CruzSanchezRipa]

I suppose it is done to make the world, and the people of the country these soldiers once belonged to, think that now their bones and memories are cared for and not strewn like garbage and forgotten forever.

[@albatrosroyal8549]

More than 20 algerian soldiers heads are not burried from 1870 till now & kept in natural Museum in Paris.

[@CrocodileTear]

If they were not in the museum in Paris, they would probably no longer exist. Many of these strange souvenirs are now been handed back to be buried and thus destroyed.

Where did they get all the bones? Is it just mass graves they knew about or what?

You can see how they find the bones in the full video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3mqmHqnfZyIrZI

[@normagrimstad8869]

They are still unidentified soldiers, correct? Of course it’s nice to make an effort, but maybe the government should have looked for these soldiers many years before. I’m sure their mothers and fathers and siblings never knew what happened to them.

[@CrocodileTear]

Say that to Stalin

[@lineinthesand663]

Thanks for posting this. Your work is humbling and very illuminating. Watching that ceremony allows a much sharper appreciation of why the US/EU/NATO contrived war on Ukraine and Russia will not be successful. All the best from Namibia.

Too late ....Russia has won....they won long ago....but you know that....don't you?

True. The West has been defeated and humiliated by Russia and the free world.

I could imagine the Red Army commanders didn’t really keep track of how many died, just the end result of their goals

[@CrocodileTear]

Dictatorships are very good at keeping track of their citizens. I think the Soviet government knew very well what happened to most of its soldiers.

[@Punisher9419]

I didn't know these caskets where filled to the brim with bones.

There are 10, 20 or more, per coffin.
