[@ri-goblazt5894]

“Mongolian” is often used to describe people with Asiatic facial features. “Hordes” is the other word the Germans used. You could say Ghenkis Khan and his “hordes” have left a deep impression on the European psyche…fear of “eastern hordes” that are constantly threatening Europe. Here it means: Siberians, Tatars and other non Russian ethnics…and of course, Mongolians.

[@davidkarr4632]

I think you're right about who the Germans considered as Mongolian people are...Not Gengis Khan "mongols "as in history but any other ethnic group that were in Russia...They considered Ukraine as Russia, but the Lithuania, Polish, and everyone in Europe that wasn't German speaking were in their way, Hitler's way, to describe the people who were caught up in operation Barbossa...Ive been binge watching these WW2 stories of the German soldiers who were told by Nazi's that the war on Russia would be over in a couple of months.

I am hooked on these stories from the German soldiers who faught in Russia expecting to be back in Germany after a few months of fighting the Russians....My father was a WW2 veteran who was in Iwo Jima and other islands in the Pacific, but he always said that the real horror of the war was in the Russian front....These diaries are so detailed that I can almost feel the cold-30°s in the winter's of 41-45 frostbite and lack of sleep and food....These soldiers were the same age as me when I was in the Navy during Vietnam war and the number of deaths of both sides is hard to comprehend...Millions of civilians starved to death because of one man's insanity to rule the world.

[@erikracz4162]

The Allies treaty after WW1, forced Germany into ruin, the government couldn’t pay for it, people had no jobs and no food, and no hope. That made it easy for Hitler to come to power, he took advantage of the situation the allies created, they thought they smart, but in fact, it wasn’t smart at all, this decision cost the lives of millions of people in the next world war, and then the same idiots made another famous decision, let’s give Stalin everything he wants for helping us, we can trust him.

Mongolians have supported Soviet Union in their fight against fashism with money, financed some productions of russian tanks and air planes, supplied the Soviet troops with warm winter clothes and shoes etc. Mongolians fought during World War II against the militarist Japan where thousands of Japanese where captured and forced to work on rebuilding the capital city of Mongolia. Only one japanese POW was released home, so that he can give a witness report about how Mongolians can spread real horror and hell to the armies that try to invade their Motherland. Other POWs have worked till death. They are burried in a big cemetary in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. In the year 1945 Mongolians fought alongside with Soviet troops to liberate China from militarist Japan.

The true horrors of this war was what happened when the mongols captured the German soldiers they would inflict some of the most horrific tortures on their captives . They would torture them slowly and the German soldiers in the trenches could hear them . This was nerve wracking and psychologically devastating. It also resulted in tit for tat tortures between them that resulted in some of the worst atrocities

[@johnniea4684]

By "tit-for-tat" you're implying the Germans were retaliating, which is highly misleading. The Germans invaded the USSR in 1941, overrun huge territories, killed a lot of troops and captured hundreds of thousands. The atrocities they committed on the Soviet army and civilian population (just one, relatively minor example: when the winter hit in 1941 they turfed civilians out of their homes and used them to quarter German troops, took all their food and supplies; the Soviet civilians were left to fend for themselves in the snow - fun eh?) Such incidents (including mass casual rapes of Soviet women - military discipline / punishment was ignored by official orders from German high Command OKW) were used to motivate and inflame the Red Army, which led to a lot of revenge being taken on captured German troops, especially the SS and later on German civilians.

[@redgooner8882]

Of course I know that the Germans committed their own atrocities on the Russian civilians. It was the same as Vietnam with both sides committing war crimes on each other . I know it was the ss that were doing the worst . The Wehrmacht didn’t want anything to do with the ss as they often received torture from the Russians for things they done .

Nazi Germany ignored the Geneva Convention when it came to the war in the East btw. German High Command (OKW) issued orders for the operation (Barbarossa) that the rules of war did not apply when facing the Soviets and that military discipline was null and void, so crimes committed by Geerman troops would not be prosecuted. You can fantasise that the invading German army was living in terror of the barbarian "Mongols" if you like but they themselves committed untold heinous crimes against humanity in vast numbers before they had an opportunity to fear reprisals from "Mogolians" or any other understandably vengeful Soviet troops. I guess if you are going to behave with evil, inhuman intent on your victims you better ensure that you are actually going to beat the opponent, as payback can be unpleasant.

[@landofthesilverpath5823]

@johnniea4684 No such thing happened. But it is true that the Soviet Union never followed the Geneva Convention. 90% of all prisoners taken by the Soviets died. Soviets used biological weapons, Stalin refused to send aid to Soviet POWs via the Red Cross- which was/is standard practice. In fact, USSR considered any Red Army soldier who surrendered a traitor. Red Army raped and murdered up to 2 million women, children, the elderly as the progressed through Europe. Many times, gang raping children as young as 8 to death. The Germans, as a rule, obeyed the laws of war and took prisoners. Did not use banned weapons, acts of pillaging or rape was extremely rare, and punished if it did happened. There really is no comparison between the honorable conduct of the Whermacht and the barbarity of the Red Army.

If horses had been introduced to the America's, Natives almost certainly would have evolved into a force similar to the Mongols. They were already well on their way after 100 years. Imagine if Europeans had arrived to see a stone age people with millions of cavalry, trained to hunt and kill like they did with bison. It would have been something amazing to see. Raids sweeping over settlements like the wind. Rapid fire arrows against an armored people with gunpowder. Would make for a neat manga or something.

[@johnniea4684]

Problem with that scaenario is that a hunter/gatherer culture like the Plains Indians can't support a large population base, so you can forget about "millions" of Native American cavalry. The nomadic peoples of Central Asia, such as the Mongols did well until the industrial revolution caused massive population growth in places such as Russia, along with the technology to deploy large armies equipped with firearms, cannon etc and then they were beaten very badly and driven further east, out of places like the modern eastern Ukraine and future Asian provinces of the Russian Empire.

@@ErichHiller44well there is no SAS in Australia we have a different term and we don't just send in specialist forces every time most of the greatest military achievements have been done by ordinary soldiers . Now of course any country is going to get its ass kicked occasionally but generally the Australians are regarded as some of the best on earth for what they've done in so many battles, look at Beersheba no military has ever done anything close to that. Also If Australia is such an average force why do Americans call us every single time they go war ?

Here's an interesting question - which Axis troops did Soviet soldiers fear the most? Hint: It wasn't the Germans per SS General Leon Degrelle . . .

[@goose33]

The French volunteers were vicious Now I feel bad I read this book like 5 times and forget haha

[@wleeclark7696]

Per SS General Degrelle, the Axis troops most feared by the Russians were the Italian troops. When caught in Russian villages, the Russians took no prisoners and tortured the Italians to death. Reason: the Russian men quickly learned that the Russian women preferred Italian men with guitars, wine and dancing to the Russian men. When Russian troops went to visit their wives, if Italian soldiers were nearby, they quickly found that their wives had an Italian boyfriend! Extreme rage and fear when Russians learned their wives and daughters were in a village or town occupied by the Italian soldiers . . . Germans were not romantic; Italian soldiers were.@@goose33

[@goose33]

@wleeclark7696 haha wow!

[@wleeclark7696]

Degrelle said a popular torture was for the Russian husband to pull the Italian soldier out of the bed with his Russian wife, make him go outside into the blizzard naked, and pour water on him. Result: the Italian lover was turned into a frozen ice statue . . .@@goose33

[@StopFear]

Well, I wouldn’t say this is “evidence” of them clearly fearing them more. IMO they feared if more experienced enemies and the Soviet troops from the far East were more experienced and more brutal.

Can you expand on this expert opinion on the whermacht state of war?

[@gandigooglegandigoogle7202]

@@RamblesBrambles .....It's very simple, you have to know the German mentality compared to other nations. The Germans tend to be extremely disciplined, which is very effective in the context of a well-ordered troop in combat, which knows its missions and objectives... However, and this is somewhat the weakness of such a troop, it is that if events differ from what is planned, the chain of command is always called upon, group or section leaders have little autonomy in the field, much less than in some other armies where personal initiative is often put forward, as well as group initiative. I'm not an expert, I'm giving my personal opinion here, I've been in the army for 41 years and I've worked with a lot of foreign armies, and that's my opinion and it's not to be taken as holy writ but that's what my experience has shown.
