It`s sad to see a thatched roof house burning there. It reminds me of a story that my maternal grandfather told , he was stationed in Hungary as a soldier in the German Wehrmacht and was always treated kindly and kindly by the local population. Some soldiers didn`t treat people so well, they would be thrown out of their beds. And he had also personally seen at hatched roof house being set on fire. He found that very bad. Unfortunately my other grandfather died at the battle of Stalingrad (Russia). We were never able to get to know him. An interesting collection of pictures of WWII. RIP to all soldiers no matter which nation was killed in this senseless war.🙏❤

You can look at it politically however you like, but back then the best part of the population of Germany, Russia, England and France bled to death in the battles and carpet bombings of WWII. If we could look back on history from 1945 WITH these people, Western/Christian civilization in Europe would not be doomed. We miss these men and women today. As far as the future of Europe is concerned, that was Hitler's greatest crime.

Generally just your average everyday person who became caught up in the whirlwind that became WW2. Several years before I suppose these young people were in school or doing an apprenticeship in hopes of getting a better life than what their parents had (WW l, difficult financial circumstances, war reparations from Germany that caused the Deutschmark to collapse, etc.) and possibly move to a different area of Germany to find work. Then, it seemed, all hell broke loose. Sad, really.

Да,- замечательная подборка фотографий. И лица ЛЮДЕЙ на них... Пишу из России, Москва. Мне 60. )) Мой дед был пилотом Ил-4. Сгорел над своим аэродромом в районе Воронежа в первых числах июня 1942 года. После бомбардировки танковой колонны самолет был атакован и подожжен парой Ме-109. Дотянул до своего аэродрома, удерживал машину в воздухе, чтобы штурман и два стрелка смогли покинуть борт с парашютами. Намеревался посадить самолет без экипажа, чтобы его можно было починить и летать дальше. Самолетов не хватало. Потери в тот период были огромными...

Take away the uniforms, and these men would not look that different to most English or American soldiers - that is so sad. Granted, some of them became fanatics, but most of them were conscripted and had no choice but to fight in the Wermacht!
@terryprater811512 күн бұрын
Exactly what I was thinking. In "Band of Brothers", there is a scene where a group of German prisoners are encountered by the men of Easy Company. Turns out that one of the Germans speaks perfect English and, in fact, grew up in the same area as one of the Americans. He said that he was called back to his "motherland" when the war broke out and he was conscripted into the German army. In another time, these two men could have been good friends. This is one scenario which shows the stupidity of war. There were so many good men wasted due to the mindless political agendas of a few evil "leaders". That mainly being Hitler and his Nazi egomaniacs. And this just keeps happening over and over in this crazy world. Too many non-virtuous people keep either getting elected or appointed to important leadership roles. Unfortunately, even our local police forces contain many "respect my authoritah" tyrants who are just like Adolf Hitler. They're everywhere.

When I was young and heard stories told by my French mother and her friends, all natives of northern France, it was easy to see the people in these pictures as not only enemies but actually crazy people. Now, decades later, it's difficult to see these people as anything other than sensible and no different from my American Army father and his fellow American soldiers. It is a stark lesson that normal people can be persuaded to become monsters during hard circumstances if monstrous demagogues like Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Stalin etc are around to exploit them.
@terryprater811512 күн бұрын
I don't completely agree with you. Not all German soldiers were crazy evil people. It was mainly the Nazi SS who had no virtue. Many of the soldiers who were fighting for the German army were conscripts from Poland and the other countries which were overrun. They had no choice but to fight for the German army. I'd say that very few of these conscripts committed murder and rape of the civilian population.

These are propably baracks on a military training area somewhere in Germany. The whole situation fits in and suggests that. This is a typical scene from basic recruit training. The light uniform trousers also indicate this. These were typically worn during training, usually in combination with equally bright uniform jackets. Such barracks still exist today at military training areas in Germany. I got to know them myself as a recruit in the Bundeswehr.

I watched a video recently about SS men that were still alive, the footage was from approximately 10 years ago. These men were in their 80’s or 90’s. All of them stated that life for regular German’s before Hitler came into power was very difficult, good paying jobs were scarce and most people didn’t eat 3 meals a day. Life was tough. All of them said that joining the military was very honorable and made life easier. You were fed very well,clean clothes,medical care,comfortable sleeping accommodations, and decent pay. Hitler & Himmler told them that they were helping re establish Germany to its rightful place in the world. It gave them a sense of pride. When the SS was formed and looking for members,you got extra pay and benefits for doing so. The brainwashing was hard and heavy. After the war was over it took them quite awhile to realize what they had done was wrong. You could tell they were still devoted Nazis as you listened to them talk about the glory days of the Third Reich. All smiles and they still knew the words to the Nazi patriotic songs.
