Sorry to ruin the belief of this great story and soilder but As a Historian myself this is fake. the first reason is that the channel maker simple history is lying as they say that the soilder joined the army in the second world war in 1899 which isnt the correct date if this war. the second world war began in 1939 september 1st. the second reason is that it is a extremely low chance to survive the injuries. As i may not be a scientist or medical profeesional i did learn a lot about that type of stuff. i also have a freind is a Doctor and i asked them to look into the injuries which the soilder had. they said alot of the injuries would normally kill someone either in about a day or a week without immediate medical care and surgeory. also the bullet around the back of the head depending where it hit would probally make the soilder unable to do alot of there everyday things. Just to be clear i am not putting any hate onto this youtuber there are quite a bit of facts and knowledge they say and also they just want to make interesting and entertaining content. i just wanted to clear up the miss infomation also im not saying the youtuber is lying they may have got it from a false source of infomation.

Now I think it’s safe to say the majority of you have never seen a grenade, much less held and operated one.

This dude did that multiple times. What an absolute mad lad

[@dominykasmetlevski1896]

That's the case for modern grenades. The whole grenade pin teeth-pulling thing originated from WW1/WW2 when the amount of force needed to pull out the pin wasn't as high. Later on, they made it higher for safety purposes but the trope would continue to exist in movies.

Generally, people who enjoy war are psychopaths. A psychopath's brain develops differently regarding sociality and emotions, so they are often confused and unhappy navigating other peoples' emotions in this contrived social construct we call society. When they're in war--where many emotionally healthy people dissociate due to PTSD--the psychopath feels like the world finally makes sense. They live for combat because in war they don't have to pretend to care about other peoples' feelings. If they kill their rivals and take their things, they're rewarded rather than punished. The bond with their brothers in arms is more real to them than any emotion ever was.

Funny thing for me is, that when he was in Norway he came to the small little town of Namsos, which is the place where I was born and currently live. He came here in a Sunderland floatplane and on his arrival he got his welcome by a german aircraft which shot him while he was inside of the plane. I think it's really funny that this legend of a man came to my little unknown town and fought along and for my ancestors.

Can you please make a video about Alexey Maresyev? It's a very famous story in Russia and other post soviet countries, but it seems to be virtually unknown in the English speaking countries. He was shot down while dogfighting and had to crawl in the woods in winter for who weeks with broken legs which later had to be amputated, but after that recovered, regained his health and battled his way back to flying, shooting down more enemies without legs than he did with them.

[@Briselance]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2XZeGB8Z9mUi5Y The video is made by the Infographics show, which is similar to Simple History. After watching the video, I realized that Alexy Mareysev is not only physically strong but also mentally!

[@Paul_Sergeyev]

@@RyhoLV you might call it glorified, because it became famous after Boris Polevoy, a writer, wrote a book about it called "Tale of a true human", but the story itself is true. In fact, because of the scale and the character of the war on the Eastern war, there were several more similar but lesser known stories of soviet pilots. I don't agree that it is a piece of propaganda. This way story of this british soldier of other western soldiers can also be called just glorified western propaganda, despite them being true. If the story comes from USSR doesn't automatically mean it's propaganda. Feats of heroism were very common amongst red army soldiers because the war waged against soviet union was a war of total extermination and the soldiers knew that. The way those people were raised was also different, because they grew up in most difficult time in history of Russia, with several wars happening which made them stronger in their spirits, but also with major economic breakthroughs such as НЭП and industrialisation bringing hope and enthusiasm. Many civil rights were given to the people such as widespread free education and equality of sexes in the period they grew up which also made those people more eager to fight for their country. Acts of heroism were often acknowledged even by german soldiers in their letters home.
