Today we will take a look at the memoirs of German veteran. His service was in the 2nd Paratroop Panzergrenadier Division Hermann Göring. This is the miraculous story of a man who was about to serve in the Luftwaffe, but was sent to the Eastern Front as an ordinary infantryman...

What impressed me about the Marines is how they were able to do so much with so little. A lot of the stuff they were issued seemed to be second-hand or obsolete with everything in short supply. Told me all their boots were 10R and had to be stuffed or cut to fit, and when in the field were only give two C-rat meals per day instead of the three we ate. They would do anything to get their hands on claymores which were as rare to them as chicken's teeth.

A very good story, in the small village in Bedfordshire where i grew up was a German called Max, he somehow survived the Russian front and its horrors, he became a POW of the British, eventually marrying the vicars daughter, what i do remember is he always threw wonderful kids parties for us and his own children, my father wounded twice in WW2 became a firm friend of Max.There is much more to tell but for now i will just say this video reminded my of my childhood and a very good German called Max.

I dont know if theyre still there, but in the '80s... Somewhere between R.A.F. Chicksands (Hitchin) and Bedford, when I'd take the bus, there was a huge property with two giant, rectangular Blimp hangars. The buildings were about 50 yards apart. The legend had it that during WW II, German pilots could look down at those two hangars, and use them as a landmark, to affirm that they (the bomber pilots) were going toward London.

I was Stationed at R.A.F. Chicksands, and on my days off would get the early bus to Bedford, and yes! Thats it. I think there was a River Flit? But yes, those hangars were there. Again, i dont know if it was "urban myth" but those two hangars were so long they were said to have made a "=" pointing right toward London. Of course, London was an hour or less by train, so from the sky it probably didnt make much difference. Good old Bedford! Ive often wondered if, like so many American Towns, its become a big dirty place, but some of my older English clients (I have a Barbershop in Florida) have said it might not be too much different now?

My father-in-law fought in the German Army 2 1/2 years in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. He was impressed into the German Army on the spot in Poland because he was an ethnic (cultural) German. He was horribly wounded in Nov. 1944, a wound that never totally healed. I lived with the man for over five years and I can't tell you how much war sucks. He would whimper and cry at night in his sleep and his legs shook. I have no respect for the cowards who create these wars, including our CIA, state department and our presidential administration. The job of our so-called "leaders" should be to make friends, avoid war, and make our lives better; not to create enemies, make war and hurt people. MSM is part of the scam.

[@SeattlePioneer]

> Easier said than done, all too often. The Brits and French tried appeasement with Hitler, it didn't work. What would you have done had you been a French or British leader when Germany invaded Poland in 1939? Obama tried appeasement with Putin when Putin grabbed up Crimea in 2014. It didn't work. If you had been Biden, what would you have done when Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022? Interestingly enough, while Trump was President, Putin was GOOD AS GOLD! WHY? I suggest that had Trump been re elected in 2020, there would have been no "Special Military operation" no war in Ukraine, TWO pipelines that would be supplying natural gas to Germany today and no world inflation.

Your disgusting anti-American attitude is exactly the kind of thinking that caused the destruction of Germany and the death of 20 million Germans in WW II. Be careful you don't follow that same path to destruction. The men in my family have served in every single one of America's wars since 1776. Some died, my father lost his right arm, and I survived Vietnam. You "can't tell me" how much war sucks? Maybe that's because you were never in one. We don't need your sad stories of how Nazi soldiers suffered. We Americans have suffered to insure freedom for people like you who have "no respect" for America's leaders. So stuff it, Heinz!

Later his best friend made it to the front. He was captured

[@your_royal_highness]

I met a guy in the Chicago area who was in the Luftwaffe, flying a light, twin engine bomber. He shot down a British fighter when the latter went right in front of his plane. He was sent to the Eastern front for basic and they wanted to keep him, so he went AWOL and found his way back to Germany. He talked his way out of being shot when the judge let him off (the judge was a WW1 PILOT). He was shot down three times during the war, all of which were jaw-dropping stories by themselves. He hid out in an insane asylum to avoid capture by the Soviets and managed to get to U.S. lines. He had previously been captured by the Americans but escaped from them.

Very interesting. I am surprised by the account of the execution-murder of the three soldiers. I am sure it was a very rare case. The morale of the German Army, in general was very good, because the soldiers knew what would happen to them and Germany in case of losing the war. The brilliant performance of the German army in defeat since 1943 is the most glorious testimony of the skill and courage of its men.

[@basilmcdonnell9807]

Very rare indeed. The estimate by historians is that during ww2 at least 15,000 German soldiers were shot for desertion, and 50,000 were shot for other offences. During the retreat through the east roving bands of SS shot any stragglers they found. One anecdote described roads in East Prussia lined with trees strewn with the hung bodies of German officers- victims of the SS. Just for comparison the Canadian army shot one soldier for desertion in ww2. Although that particular case also involved a charge of accessory to murder.

My Grandfather served in the infantry of the Wehrmacht from 1938 until wounded in Russia in 1943. He got a bullet which passed completely through one thigh and lodged in the other. He threw away his machine pistol and crawled to hiding where lay for a day and a half alone. He said he could hear the Russians all around him and that if they had come near he would have fired at them to the last bullet but saved that one for himself because he too believed that the worst thing that could possibly happen as a wounded German soldier was to fall into Soviet hands. After a day and a half, the Germans recovered that position and found him. He was evacuated eventually to a military hospital in Lithuania. And, although at first they wanted to amputate his legs, he refused and he kept them both! His Mother, a simple illiterate farmer’s wife from the countryside near Hannover, who had never travelled anywhere further than Hannover before (my Mother said she only put shoes on if she came to Hannover!😂), travelled all the way by train to Lithuania with her woven basket on her back to fetch my Grandfather home! 1943 was the end of his military service. this respect, he was one of the ‘lucky ones’!
