The Fallen of World War II l REACTION

[@shot9702]

Most people living today have not seen war and have no idea how bad it can be. That and a lack of education or history not being taught is one of the reasons we're destined to have another.

[@BDz-ho8lg]

Well said...

[@voiceofreason6515]

Well actually, that's part of it. The lack of education in turn leads to democracies spending too little on the military. Unfortunately weakness is an invitation to war. Si vis pacem para bellum has always been and continues to be true. Here in Europe the state of our military readiness is pitiful and there seems to be no appetite for really doing anything about it. It's not just about increasing military spending but also a society wide effort to toughen the hell up. Make the warrior an ideal people can aspire to again.

[@Crimsrn]

the russia-ukraine and israel-palestine wars are still completely insignificant in comparison to wars happening even 20 years ago. despite those 2, we are still the most peaceful we've been in history and i doubt that will change for a few decades at least no matter how many people are yapping about "ww3".

[@drewpaupanekis4710]

The fact people are scared of ww3 just shows that the fear mongers media did their job.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

I agree. the end of the video isn't saying it's gonna be peaceful forever. these two are missing the point. the current conflicts, while tragic, are still nothing on the scale of what happened in WW2. ppl tend to think what they're going through now is the worst thing ever but I guarantee it's still nothing compared to the chaos that was happening in the 1940s. ppl just don't have perspective

[@rayquaza1245]

If estimates are to believed, the number of casualties in the russia-ukraine war are staggeringly high.

[@Castiel159]

Ты понятия не имеешь что сейчас происходит на Украине,чтобы ответственно заявлять о незначительной войне!Там одних погибших с обеих сторон уже больше 1000000 человек!И это только по официальным данным! И конфликт ещё только разгорается.

[@PlutonianPrince]

I don't know the Russian/ Ukraine casualties staggering. Ukraine needs another 500,000 men and Russia lost a lot of material.

[@ДаниилШаров-х8р]

The words that Stalin forbade the evacuation from Leningrad are a lie. Read about the "Road of Life", this highway through Lake Ladoga, medicines, weapons and ammunition were delivered to the city along with food, and people were evacuated from the city along it. Over 1.3 million people, primarily women and children, were evacuated over the roads during the siege.

[@TahiriVeila13ABY]

The man used his people without giving 2 sh%ts for them, you don't lose that amount of people if your leaders are competent, only if they treat their citizens and soldiers like disposable cannon fodder. This is a man who sent millions upon millions to work camps, 1.5 million of which (on the low side of estimates) died there. The horrors committed by that man are well documented. If he was at all competent the Germans wouldn't have been able to make that massive push into the Soviet Union in the first place, it was his incompetency that made the initial invasion possible; it was American weapons and aid (on the order of 180 billion in todays money) that kept them from being completely destroyed. Are there really Stalin apologists now too?

[@ДаниилШаров-х8р]

Also, in fact, the USSR lost many more civilians than soldiers. The total losses of the USSR amounted to 27 million people, and only 11 million of them were military, the remaining 16 million were civilians. And in general, the casualty figures were completely different, Germany lost more than 8 million people on the eastern front.

[@aphextwin5712]

I understood the video that Stalin didn’t allow for evacuations while there was still time. Once there was a de facto siege and the only access was via the lake, evacuations weren’t able to compensate for twiddling supplies inside the city.

[@powthehamster]

Crazy how things change huh? We went from having almost no official wars to having ukraine/russia and palestine/israel in less than 2 years

[@MareTranquil]

The current war in Israel is so small that it's barely worth mentioning when talking about a global scale. So far thats maybe one tenth of the ethiopia-eritrea war, which itself is just the tiny bump in the graphic at 1999/2000.

[@grekys2908]

On October 24, 1941, a group of Soviet soldiers in the village attacked the Nazis escorting prisoners. Three Germans were killed. The Nazis decided to punish Hatsun significantly. At 10 a.m. on October 25, three punitive detachments gathered everyone who was in the village. Some were executed with extreme cruelty. The rest were shot and the village was burned to the ground. In the Hatsun tragedy, 318 people died, including 60 small children under the age of 10. The youngest girl was only 6 months old and was pierced with a bayonet right in her cradle. According to German archives, the Nazis shot the children so as not to leave them alone. One example of why so many civilians died during the German occupation. Hundreds of civilians were killed as punishment for the murder of a German soldier. This is one case out of tens of thousands.

[@atriox7221]

The only problem I have with the video is how he continuously uses the term nazi instead of German in instances where nazi is way too specific for the vastness of the group in reference. It’s vilifying the large portion of German soldiers who weren’t true nazis, but simply fighting so enemy forces don’t reach their families back home, or because of conscription.

[@atriox7221]

And even most of the radicalised ones were manipulated young men that went through a terrible school system and military propaganda, so even many of the actual nazis are tragedies since they should have been genuinely normal people if it weren’t for that corruptive extreme ideology that had a stranglehold on their nation at the wrong time in relation to when they existed.

[@sledgehammerk35]

So for a little context… yes the U.S. did target civilian population centers in Japan, but they didn’t do it without warning. American aircraft dropped leaflets on Japan, warning civilians to leave these cities. This was also done before the atomic bombs were dropped. In Europe the U.S. conducted daytime precision bombing raids, which were primarily directed at German war industries.

[@TahiriVeila13ABY]

There was no such thing as precision bombing in WW2, or tactical strikes, the technology didn't allow for it. They dropped during the day so they would have a higher chance of hitting their target, they still had to send hundreds of aircraft just to make sure a target was destroyed. Daytime raids did lead to less collateral damage, but not by much, and it also made bombers much more vulnerable to triple a and fighters.

The dirty little secret of WW2 is that the Uk and France started WW2, not Germany. The Germans and the soviet union/russia invaded Poland, but the UK and France only declared war on Germany and ignored that the sovietunion/russia also invaded Poland. After the UK and France declared war on Germany first, Germany then declared war on the UK and France.

[@FxreverNxthing]

France and Britain both told Hitler, they would be going to war to defend Poland, if he invades Poland. The French and British alliance with Poland, was only if Germany invaded. The alliance didn’t say anything about the Soviet Union, as the alliance between the three was made, before the Soviet and Nazi Molotov-Ribbentrop Non-aggression Pact. Britain and France even tried to get Stalin to help increase Hitler invaded, but the allies wouldn’t offer up enough troops, so Stalin chose the Nazis.

[@aphextwin5712]

The war started when Germany invaded by force one of their neighbours (with the Soviets joining in). It didn’t start when France and the UK declared war. Don’t invade your neighbours, and you don’t get blamed for starting a war.

[@fasttruckman]

@@aphextwin5712 Sorry, but your wrong. Yes the Germans invaded Poland and it was a war between the Germans and Poland. The British and french declared war on Germany on their own accord, thus starting the second european war. My mistake was saying World War, as the second World War didn't officially start until Japan attacked the British, Australia, New Zealand, french and the U.S. with Germany also attacking other european countries and the soviet union soviet union, and declaring war on the U.S..

[@aphextwin5712]

​@@fasttruckman So, if Russia invades a NATO member and then other NATO members come to their aid, it is NATO who started a war with Russia? In a war it matters who fired the first shot. There is a reason why the Germans claimed on 1 Sep 1939: “Seit 5:45 Uhr wird zurückgeschossen” (Since 5:45 we have started returning fire). All wars start somewhere. When I start beating up somebody, whether what I was doing is considered assault or manslaughter depends on the final outcome, not how heavy my first blow was or how much my victim fights back. When there is a multi-car pileup on a freeway/motorway, you don’t say it started when the third car crashed into something. It started with the first car crashing, which then started a chain reaction. Any other interpretation is deliberately deflecting blame. Maybe somebody just can’t help himself from being a smartass. Or somebody doesn’t like reality and tries to rewrite history to feel better.

[@fasttruckman]

Germany has been blamed for starting two world wars, when in truth Germany did not start either one. WW1 was started by russia interfering with Austria-Hungary internal affairs, and WW2 was started by the UK and France interfering with German, Polish, and soviet union/russian disputes.

[@FxreverNxthing]

I already responded to this In one of my comments to you. Now in regards to the German Empire in WW1, while they didn’t start it, they made it worse. Their own actions would get most nations of the world. They also committed horrible atrocities. Their own actions would allow the Soviet Union to rise and Hitler and other dictators to gain power, among other things. Tzarist Russia is also to blame, like most nations in the war. Serbia and Austro-Hungry are really to blame for starting it but really Serbia. If the Serbians didn’t assassinate Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie, then Serbia would have been better off along with the world. Franz Ferdinand was more pro Serbian, than majority of others in the Austro-Hungarian government, but of course they assassinated him and his wife. What really started both world wars, is terrible acts between nations, and treaties.
