The Russians entered Berlin first | Colorized World War II

00:00 The Russians entered Berlin first, and as Hitler took his own life in his bunker, the war in Europe finally came to an end. Churchill led the people of Britain in the VE Day celebrations, but the fighting continued in the Pacific. Sadly, President Roosevelt died in April, just weeks before VE Day, and the task of finishing the war was passed to the new American President, Harry S. Truman.
25:25 Roosevelt dies suddenly
40:38 April 28, 1945: Benito Mussolini is executed

find it very odd that the footage has been blurred/censored. War should always been shown in its true horrifying reality so we never forget and are under no illusions about war.

[@brianswelding]

@KBO Media Liam, I actually find it more disturbing that many people want to see morbid images. How about a little respect for the individual in the image? I don't think the exploitation of someone's dead, mangled loved one would add anything of real value to the historical record here other than shameless shock value. Any sane person can see the horrors of war as depicted, c'mon. If KZbin didn't have this rule, we would have documentaries trying to outdo each other with morbid images competing for more views. Sick.

​@@brianswelding That's an opinion your presenting as a fact. I would like to see the data points to support your claim. YT didn't always have that rule and I don't recall this competition of violence to get more views. My opinion if i see a blown up building I'm like oh that sucks but at least we can rebuild. If you see a causality civilian or combatant hits a lot harder because its a living person and there is a stronger connection to that. It's not like oh yay violence, it's for reflection and to ask the questions of how we end up in events like this. But hey if we keep bubble wrapping everything so we can be ignorant to the realities of our world events like this will most likely repeat themselves.

[@handlerhandleson5587]

Just to weigh in on the matter as a vet . I'd say showing the images as they were taken , those men gave their lives for that war most often in horrific conditions. And now we reduce them to a grey block on a screen. War is brutal what those men endured was insane and to ignore or filter it out via censorship is disrespectful and dangerous. That's what those men endured regardless of how discomforting to some.

​@@stylez8654 SAMPLE STORY (Eyewitness account of ) THE TAKING OF BITBURG (near miracle included) It was dark when Co. Headquarters moved into some houses on both sides of the road leading into Bitburg, Germany. World War II was winding down, but some rather unpleasant experiences were still ahead of us. Our vantage point overlooking the town gave us a panoramic view. The action unfolded like a realistic movie scene with stereophonic sound. My job was to lay and repair the phone wire across the road between the two houses occupied by Co. HQ. The action began at first light. German artillery began shelling the fields around us. “That’s stupid,” we commented as we looked upon the apparently empty fields upon which the Germans were “wasting” their shells, “they could be shelling us instead of squandering their effort on the empty fields.” The rumble of American tanks came from behind us. That was the beginning of the second scene. An extended line of tanks advanced down the road and over the recently shelled hills. We discovered the Germans weren’t as stupid as we had thought, for they had seen the G.I.’s holed up in the hills. Our soldiers were so well camouflaged they were invisible to us though we were practically on top of them, yet the Germans had known where they were and had NOT been wasting their shells. As the tanks pitched down toward Bitburg, our men stood up like hundreds of Lazaruses rising from their graves and immediately began trotting alongside and behind them. The tanks and the Infantry reached the town and were merging with it amidst smoke and fire. During our attack; Poles, Hungarians, and Mongolians walked out of town and up the hill. past our house. "Slave laborers", they said. A boy in a baby carriage pushed by a German lady impressed me greatly. He was suffering a freshly broken leg. She shook her fist at us as she slogged by. We followed the house to house movement of our troops by observing how the line of explosions and destruction plowed through the streets. I don’t know how the Germans retreated. They were invisible to us on the hill. Our style of house to house fighting consisted mostly of blasting holes through the walls without setting foot in the street until we had to cross it at the end of the block. All we could see was the slogging front of devastation moving from one end of the town toward the other. No soldiers were visible except at both ends of the town. We could see the American tanks and soldiers disappearing into the left side and the German vehicles being pushed out of the right. The end came when the last German jumped on his motorcycle and sputtered off toward the distant hills. The tanks had affected me directly. They tore my phone wire to bits and I was forced to lay fresh wire across the road whenever there was enough time between them. One of those times I was standing in a culvert in front of the house opposite ours with my little reel of wire when I heard artillery shells whistling overhead. The enemy had finally noticed us, I suppose we were the current “target of opportunity.” I dropped to the bottom of the ditch. Three shells landed harmlessly on a small embankment almost directly above me. I stood up prepared to finish laying my wire but heard more shells coming toward me. Was it instinct or a guardian angel that kept me from repeating my previously successful dive? Instead, I bounded back across the road and dove into the hallway I had come from, leaving my reel in the ditch. Three more shells “karumphed!” while I was flying through the air, showering me with dirt before I hit the ground. The realness of the event broke through my accustomed feeling of unreality. I felt nervous and was reluctant to venture outside for at least a couple of minutes. I finally recouped enough energy to renew my task. I got quite a surprise when I approached my reel. It was full of shrapnel. There were three small shell holes in the ditch, one in the exact spot I had lain the first time. Had I done the natural thing and repeated my original life-saving dive, my body would have been scattered across the landscape.

My grandfather was in berlin. He was sent to a camp for 10 years. He was wounded 3 times from 41-45, with his last being in berlin by shrapnel. I respect what he went through. and that he served but not who his government was. All of these soldiers require respect and remembrance. same as the civilians that were killed by war crimes and etc. Some were monsters. but to forget is to deny they and the victims exist. My grandfather admitted to shooting a boy in Russia because he was ordered to. the Boy stole food. He carried that and another "Boy"(Soviet soldier) he had stabbed to death. as well as a myriad of other things. I will never forget him breaking down and crying over the things he had done. I believe everyone makes mistakes.
