The US Army & German Wehrmacht VS Waffen SS - Battle for Castle Itter 1945

[@Igyzone]

The only one who died on the defender side was Gangl. The man who fullfiled his promise to keep his Wehrmact unit alive. A hero.

[@famtomerc]

He didn't just die, he died protecting someone he didn't even know (and was, under normal circumstances, an enemy). That's truly selfless.

@@fpvillegas9084 though it was depicted on screen that when Chris (narrator) states that multiple defenders were killed and shows US and German troops being killed we can really assume that what he meant was that it was either US soldiers or French prisoners or even Austrian resistance fighters that were killed and not German wermacht as people have said above. The possible reason behind the animation at 3:03 was probably because Chris already had some German wermacht troop models available.

[@scratchy996]

@ Green Machine, I bet you have never visited Eastern Europe. I live here and I have traveled a lot in these countries. I have spoken to many people who have survived the war, they spoke highly of the regular German soldiers even if they were the invaders, and people hate the Russian "liberators". The Germans wanted to annex countries and build an empire, they didn't want to antagonize the local population. Rape , plunder and murder was punished. The Russians on the other hand plundered and raped, and blamed it on the Germans after the war. Every army commits war crimes, even the Allies were no saints in ww2 or before that ( let's not forget all the countries the British and the French have conquered and oppressed, and the Native American genocide ). The SS went berserk in Russia and in France, but even the Wehrmacht hated them.

[@jarskil8862]

SS equals Soviet NKVD divisions.

[@konnorrockkonnoisseur4970]

Exactly. The SS was separated by not just training, but by the fact they were more committed to Nazism, whereas the Wehrmacht fought solely for country. There were many German soldiers and officers who defected, but the SS remained loyal to Hitler’s regime even after his death.

Jackson Challender just to info, the amount of war crimes from Wehrmacht (invasions), and their executions to those was a war crime itself. UK asked us about why they sentenced Wehrmacht soldiers to death, which US didn’t wished to reply to. The sentences of SS is more justified, especially when you mention SS Totenkopfverbände who was the main source of the Holocaust.
