This series is the best WW2 documentary ive ever watched. It's 13 parts but it's very detailed and very informative. And most importantly very neutral and unbiased.
What's the name of the documentary?
Whats the name of this doc? Want to watch it tonight
shyt is really crazy when you think about it. he could've kept all of western europe to himself. remember at the time lot of people in the US really didnt want to jump in. wasn't until pearl harbor that US committed.
but at the end of the day, the US would've eventually bodied the germans if they remained at odds. the problem the germans had was that they didn't have the capability to strike at US manufacturing. a german panther tank may be worth 2-3 shermans, but when the US replaces one with 10 additional, impossible to counter. then once the US got the bomb it was over with.
people dont realize bc we focus so much on japanese bombing, just how thoroughly the allies destroyed germany. british bomber fleets of literally thousands of planes destroyed targets during night, then the US would swing by in broad daylight
I'll just leave this here,German POW's who were captured in North Africa and taken to Texas prison. You know you must be some evil crackas when you have Nazi's saying you ain't shyt
Even Nazi prisoners of war in Texas were shocked at how black people were treated in the South
American officials were frustrated by their inability to stop their citizens from fraternizing with the enemy after the walls between the prisoners and the townspeople came down (albeit metaphorically). Women lined up against the chain link fences to watch the POWs play soccer. People piled into train stations when a transport was scheduled to arrive, hoping for a glimpse of the prisoners. Edouard Patte, a Swiss delegate of the International YMCA who worked as a Red Cross monitor, put it this way: “it’s difficult to imagine that these nice blond lads with rosy cheeks had been war baiters and murderers a short while ago.”
The POWs also found friends in the most unlikely of places, as they worked alongside African Americans hoeing and picking cotton, talking away long days in the hot sun. African American field hands were painfully aware that white Americans treated Nazi prisoners far better than they did people of color. African Americans waited on POWs when they were transported in Pullman cars to their camps, and prisoners were also allowed to eat in whites-only cafeterias. At the camp, they were dealt the most menial jobs, including spraying the prisoners with delousing foam. The slights hurt all the more because African-American soldiers fought diligently during WWII in all-black units such as the renowned Tuskegee airmen.
Yet, on an individual level, they got along with the Germans. And Germans were fond of them, in part because African American soldiers had protected them from the mobs of people who wanted to kill the POWs.
Surprisingly, given the blatant racism of the Nazi party, some of the German soldiers were also shocked by the shoddy treatment of their fellow farmworkers. “The blacks…didn’t do much better than us,” remarked one POW. “They were just in front of the wire, and we were behind the wire.” Another German soldier, who was a farmer in his civilian life, noted that African American were expected to pick two to three more times the cotton required of the POWs. “You have to see how they lived,” he said after the war. “These people were so exploited.”
And this is the military and the country that you nikkas sign up to serve
The most surprising thing is Stalin was caught off guard. Stalin didn't trust anybody....not his people, not his generals, but he trusted Hitler to keep his word.
Russians caught Germans moving troops to the border and Germans told Stalin not to worry, they were just "training" for the war in the west.
George Carlin has an excellent podcast on WW2 Eastern front. The Eastern front made D-Day and the war on the western front, look like childs play.
