WWII Nazi Becomes Beloved Star | Tales From the Bottle

- He was a Nazi. After the war he joined an English football club and went on to be regarded as one of the most beloved players of his time. How?
"Bernhard Carl "Bert" Trautmann EK OBE (22 October 1923 - 19 July 2013) was a German professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Manchester City from 1949 to 1964.
In August 1933, he joined the Jungvolk, the junior section of the Hitler Youth. Trautmann joined the Luftwaffe early in the Second World War, and then served as a paratrooper. He served first in Occupied Poland. He fought on the Eastern Front for three years, earning five medals, including an Iron Cross. Later in the war, he was transferred to the Western Front, where he was captured by the British as the war drew to a close. As a volunteer soldier, he was classified a category "C" prisoner by the authorities, meaning he was regarded as a Nazi. One of only 90 of his original 1,000-man regiment to survive the war, he was transferred to a prisoner-of-war camp in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Lancashire. Trautmann refused an offer of repatriation, and following his release in 1948, settled in Lancashire, combining farm work with playing goalkeeper for a local football team, St Helens Town.
Performances for St Helens gained Trautmann a reputation as an outstanding goalkeeper, resulting in interest from Football League clubs. In October 1949, he signed for Manchester City, a club playing in the country's highest level of football, the First Division. The club's decision to sign a former Axis paratrooper sparked protests, and 20,000 people attended a demonstration. Over time, he gained acceptance through his performances in the City goal, playing in all but five of the club's next 250 matches.
Named FWA Footballer of the Year for 1956, Trautmann entered football folklore with his performance in the 1956 FA Cup Final. With 17 minutes of the match remaining, Trautmann suffered a serious injury while diving at the feet of Birmingham City's Peter Murphy. Despite his injury, he continued to play, making crucial saves to preserve his team's 3-1 lead. His neck was noticeably crooked as he collected his winner's medal; three days later an X-ray revealed it to be broken.
Trautmann played for Manchester City until 1964, making 545 appearances. After his playing career, he moved into management, first with lower-division sides in England and Germany, and later as part of a German Football Association development scheme that took him to several countries, including Burma, Tanzania, and Pakistan. In 2004, he was appointed an honorary Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for promoting Anglo-German understanding through football. Trautmann died at home near Valencia, Spain, in 2013, aged 89"

Dude... 😕 Your NOT ugly. I appreciate self deprecating humor but, Please don't be too hard on yourself. You're not Quasimodo or anything bro. I'm not .. A lover of men.. But, Even I can tell your not a bad lookin guy. I hope you find some more self-confidence friend! You deserve it!!
Yeah dude, your cool. And you've got a career, women like that.

@@Darenz-cg9zg I'm probably late to this but man, if you're dealing with people like that, it's best just to ignore em' or just say something back that they can't respond to
Most people who do that only do it cause they're surrounded by the other idiots who do the same crap and once their friends and people aren't around, they have nothing to say cause most of the time they say the same stuff about you everytime it happens
I've experienced situations like that and it's best not to do the thing where people say "man up and do something about it", cause they don't have a good idea on the severity of the problem
But yeah it's best to say something back once those pricks aren't around with their other idiots, they only care about popularity and such, once everyone has gotten enough of it, they stop cause it's the only thing that motivates them
I probably didn't help typing all of this stuff but it's more of a help with people who do stuff like that, so yeah

There is nothing more English than asking an enemy soldier if they fancy a cup of tea.
When the British sunk the Bismarck during WWII, the British ships came past the stranded German sailors, brought them on board, covered them up with dry clothes and blankets and fed them tea and toast.. German sailors who were interviewed many years later simply couldn't believe that the British had any interest in saving their lives after having spent hours shooting across the waves at each other and sinking HMS Hood resulting in the death of 1,500 British sailors...

At the age of 10 he was indoctrinated hard. To come away from that and better himself is something I can respect.
Yep, I could see many just doubling down on their beliefs because they were taught that at a young age and being wrong your whole life would not sit well with them. Completely changing your belief when you are wrong, is something many can learn from.

@@Ave_Satana666 I didn't know you could stutter in writing
Indoctrinated how? They always say the Hitler youth radicalized people but they never show any documents as examples. Just like they never translate his speeches, they never let anyone read his book, and they’ve never produced a single document detailing orders for mass executions of PoWs. We’re just told to trust the people who lie about literally everything else.
If you’re in the US or UK your school textboooks were likely published by the Maxwell publishing company which was founded by Ghislaine Maxwell’s father. Imagine that. Your version of history was written by the defacto father in law of Jeffrey Epstein, Robert Maxwell. A man suspected by both US and UK intelligence of being a triple agent for Israeli intelligence and who personally funded violent communist uprisings in the East. The fact that the US/UK weren’t allowed to say no to having their youth taught with this man’s history books tells you everything about who really won the war and who lost. Take a look at your country, you blind cowards. Does it feel like you won??
I could totally see his story becoming a movie

I'll be honest: If I was told as a kid (the same age kids usually believe in Santa) that people with my specific hair, skin, and eye color are superhumans, I would probably not question it.
People in general don't question what they are told if it is from someone in authority. Stanley Milgram called it "white coat effect" after his "450 volts" experiment. It's worth reading about.
Jonseon you are correct, my grandmother was a racist because her father owned slaves in the West Indies but I suppose she was taught this at that vulnerable age...I’m sure one of my sons is a racist because he spent so much of his early age with a certain person’s grandmother who is also a racist...I mean the mother in law...😹😹😹
They were never told they were superhuman though
My missus is American and the indoctrination she went through took me a while to get my head around. They had to pledge allegiance to the state every day in school for example. The whole better-dead-than-red kind of thinking she had drilled in to her sounds more like some MacArthur era propaganda than something on a school curriculum.
Everything looks different from the outside looking in.
Marcel well, that everyone else was subhuman, which kinda brings us to the same spot

The fact that one of his punishments was to work with Jewish people is just hilarious to me. Just "so you're, a Nazi, huh? How'd that work out for you?"
Sounds like the setup for a buddy cop movie
@@charliewilson8782 or a kooky roommates sitcom.
@Mycel That's a matter of perspective.
Konrad Curze No, the purpose was to lock it in his mind that all people are human, even Jews. Being around those that he believed were sub-human made it harder to view them as such.
@@SmoothTurtle840 Yes, that was the purpose. It could however be viewed as punishment by those subjected to it.
I'm a grandchild of a russian soldier who survived Stalingrad and later took Berlin, so this story is also personal. But I am glad he realised how brainwashed he was, and I even got emotional when he spoke highly of being British. "Home is not where you were born, but where you were understood".
My grandfather was a Polish soldier, who was demoted several times because he would not become a Communist.
I am an American. I am, aware of the atrocities carried out by your people and the German people against my people... Yet, I have only love for the German and Russian people.
Each man is his own, accountable for the bad and good he does as an individual.

It’s one of the best stories. The way he was raised wasn’t his making and he saw how wrong and horrible it was. He accepted reform and made something spectacular of himself. Bert Trautmann was an absolute legend. Proof that our past does not define us if we choose to learn from its mistakes. That takes strength and courage. This man played alongside men he had fought against and won them the FA Cup with a broken neck no less. Beautiful.
Wow, this is a, surprisingly, incredibly wholesome story.
Goes to show that some people are capable of change and growth with the right help and guidance.
Rehabilition is possible if you allow the path... Take note America
he only changed because he had no other choice. he was still a nazi at heart.
@@FingerinUrDaughter I don't think we can really know that without actually getting to know the guy personally. You could probably tell if he was genuine or just going along with things because he has no other choice.
@@SeanNH94 yeah, no definitive choice to make, we didn’t know him and it could either be no choice or genuine change, and if he had no choice, he likely had genuine change during such
@@felixc.3444 there's always some kind of choice; for example, he could've stubbornly refused to change for the rest of his life.
People don’t realize the strength, acceptance, and understanding it takes to tell someone “there is no war here”, after being apart of an invasion where people were literally sawed in half by gun fire, dismembered by blasts and explosions, and some of those people were his friends. He probably even considered some family. He probably had to see the families and experience the pain of watching your friends parents learn of their sons death. There is a real kindness in a heart that can see total tragedy and still want peace. I respect that.
You should see what happens when vets from opposing sides get together after it's all over. Surprisingly often, they become friends - the enemy understands you better than the civilians do.
Hell, I've even seen it happen in Iraq. Some of those ex-insurgents were pretty decent guys, all things considered.

I remember homemade bows and arrows at camp very well. Some of the guys at summer camp would put large rubber ball arrowheads on their arrows so they could shoot each other. Shoot, some lucky guys got given a free gun. It was pretty dope.
I can't believe a story that started with a nazi teenager ended up being one of the most heartwarming things I've seen in a while
"I'm not even a Nazi!" - had me in stitches
I like how Qxir is such such a meticulous Irish patriot, that he even excluded the Patrick's Cross from the Union Jack.
There are photos of the nazi soldiers being shown what happened in concentration camps and what their own actions lead to, every last one of them is sobbing. As you mentioned at the beginning, not every german soldier was a devoted nazi or even agreed with hitler, and those who did didn't often know what went on behind closed doors. They were all brainwashed, they were all weaponized, and many of them could not cope with learning the truth about what they had been behind, and where so many of their captured prisoners ended up. Even soldiers were victims of the war.

This shows that people can change and be redeemed.
Exactly! When I started watching this video I was like "fuck this guy" but at the end I could accept he has fundamentally changed himself and understood what he was a part of. Most people, given the chance, can and will change. All it takes is some help.

This is my favorite video that you've made. You told this story the way it should be told. This is one of those videos that I didn't want it to end because it was so good. But like all good things, it had to have an end. Excellent video/story, Qxir.
And, you're NOT ugly. I'm a man, but I look at certain other men and think, "I wish I had hair/eyes/face like that.* You're one of those men. My late wife always would say to me, "I adore your handsome face." But I never saw myself that way. So when you look in the mirror, know that you do have redeeming/handsome features that others see that you don't. My 24 year old niece has seen you and she said, "Who's THAT cute guy?! Oh, and I like his accent!" So, I said all of that to say that you're NOT ugly.
And keep on
Im a Mancunian. I can understand this attitude. It's very much a "we will give you a chance mate, but don't take the piss" kind of place. The Place!
I’m a City fan and I knew exactly who you were going to talk about just from the title. I’m too young to have seen Bert as a player, but my dad isn’t. He was at that cup final and remembers it well. He told me about how Bert had a hard time at first, but the fact he knuckled down and got on with the job (and did it well) won everyone over in the end. He always spoke of our club in glowing terms, citing the club, the players and the fans as the reason he felt so at home here.
Yeah, fair enough, being a cracking goalkeeper who almost died on the field helped, but this is Manchester. If you don’t take the piss, you’re all right by us

If he did reform, he could just be hiding his bigotry but who knows for certain.
@@saudade7842 He had a poor education growing up. It is painfully easy for us, in this day and age, to look in on him, and shun him. But the truth of the matter is, when you realize how much he hated his past after leaving Germany, he simply was stronger than what the Nazis had tried to instill in him. There are unapologetic Nazis, even in this day and age, and he wasn't one of them. He absolutely felt remorse.
@@blueeyeswhitedad630 I know, i'm just too used to hearing these stories of nazi war criminals 'reforming' and working for nasa or the Soviets. I have no way of telling if he's reformed or not.

I've been reading about that war for over 40 years yet I had never seen the photo at 1:31. Good on you to find great source material. I also enjoy your artwork in these videos. It's minimalist, but sometimes less is more. So thanks for this.
Here’s the best I can Describe this:
Some guy that was influenced by a bad crowd, for example your teenage kids Starts doing drugs, Did a cashier robbery, Later was given rehab and rehabilitation, Now he or she is a Spoke person for anti-drugs and anti-guns, That’s the best I can explain this?
Wish i could get a job, can't though. At least not a good enough one to get an apartment, and it's all because my family dropped me out of school in the 9th grade. I do have a lot of knowledge on a lot of stuff, so if i get a good job, thats the anology i would use to describe this guy's life.
Spot on homie
being anti-gun doesn't have it's place here. because guns save a lot of lives, drugs only destroy them. chances are if he got caught doing the robbery it was because the cops had guns
@@petitponeydu7727 yeah, but most idiots who rob stores with guns try to shoot at the cops. If the news didn't twist information it would be fine for the police to shoot back, but instead they lose their jobs, or go to prison. A good case of this is that dude who was drunk in a fast food drive thru, passed out drunk and also on crack. He woke up, took a cops taser and then started shooting the tazer at the police. He was promptly shot, and guess who got in trouble because the news said the police shot an unarmed black man? The police. They should really sue cbs.
@@petitponeydu7727 The fuck are you talking about? The hospital and the pharmacy are filled to the brim with life savings drugs. As with anything human, it comes down to how their operators decided to use them. The Mexican Cartels operating in the US do so with guns.
This is a very underrated channel!
I like how you clarify the fact that not all Germans were Nazis. People forget that the first country the Nazis conquered was their own.
”I’m not even a Nazi, I'm just fucking ugly.” is the most relatable quote ever
After watching this video I decided to search for some interviews with him and I have to say the stories this man tells are really amazing!
I like how your videos end showing your subscriber count at the time of upload. It really shows the growth of your channel when rewatching older videos.
It's quite an inspiring story.
He could not resist tea and biscuits.

I can't blame a person for being indoctrinated into a horrific world view. We're all just a product of our upbringing. The fact that he was able to snap out of that upbringing and started seeing Russian prisoners as human beings tells me what I need to know. Everyone deserves a chance at redemption. If we don't, then we're just a doomed, misbegotten species with no way to improve ourselves and I refuse to believe that.
Don't forget he looked almost exactly like what was glorified. How could you not fall into it at that point

There was a similar sort of controversy blew back up in New Zealand last year: One of the founding members of Mt Hutt skifield had served as a machine-gunner in an SS Panzer unit in Russia and later France, although his was apparently as lawful a war as those fronts could be.
He had a few television spots during his lifetime of the "redeemed sport hero now a good bloke" sort, so he and his past were known of; but when after his death the skifield wanted to officially name his favourite run after him and all Hell broke loose- several columnists even suggested writing him out of the club history, when he was one of the foundational blokes of NZ's winter scene, and generally well liked to boot.
1:30 i like that you say that. My grandma always tells me the story of her grandpa avoiding hitler when he paraded through a street, to avoid greeting him. They all hated him and no one was a real soldier. Her grandpa was an engineer.
My grandad’s cousin is Sheffield Wednesday’s top goalscorer.
I didn’t do a lot of research but I see he put the ball past Trautmann in a match on 20th April 1962, scoring Wednesday’s only goal in the 3-1 game.
When you have never met the people you are told are awful people, you can't really doubt it. I think a lot of people would be less discriminatory if they actually got to meet the people they hate so much, and understood that they're just normal people too.
What a fucking incredible story, I’m glad this man found peace, because for everything that happened, I can almost guarantee he was harder on himself then all those people yelling at his signing
6:24 I'm in tears
Incredibly well thought out and insightful. It's heart warming to think that there is hope even for the most hated and vile among us.
He was lead down one path, which was a trap. Before he got to the end, he tripped. He was then helped back up, taught what he left behind in his trail, what layed further, and what his friends were doing. He the joinned the helper, and changed his ways to leave only flowers, even when it was raining, and the mud would slide
Like how he fashioned the thumbnail of him going for a save to make look like a hitler salute

Even from a young age I was fully aware of the general loss of life on both sides of the war. You don't wear that symbol with pride and earn respect just by being talented, this man connected with people on a human level and helped bridge a gap between two wounded nations with the language of football. Just so happens we speak football very well.

@Tribunus Plebis Capitalism and Communism are both Jewish. Communism is Talmudism made manifest and Capitalism is to both degenerate the afflicted population and empower the rich communists. This is because to non-Jews, both are based on a materialistic axiom. It is derived from Kabbalah, to enforce the Talmud.
When you think about it, New American SA, NASA lol
Happy to see new videos. New here but already love it. No bs good dark humor and comical illustrations. Perfect
As a man of faith, be he Soviet, Nazi or Japanese Imperial, I'm required to forgive. And as a veteran of Iraq, I'd liked to have heard his war stories.
Why has this NOT been a movie? Studios around the world are missing out and so are we .
He had the character development of a main character in a WWII-based FPS
UK: "Nooo! You can't hire Nazi scientists to put man on the moon!!! That's morally wrong!!!!!!"
UK: "Heh Nazi sports are good"
Dead meme idiot
@@karloveliki5373 Does that really matter? Would you really rather I just say "The UK criticizes other countries for better practices than they do themselves like a bunch of worthless Hypocrates?"
Man you Video is like a blessing granted on every Friday , thanks a lot for the effort you put in those !
3:45 I dunno why I love this so much lol
I watched the first half of your video, including some mentions of football. Then I remembered a world class footballer called Bert Trautmann - after all I'm 77 😀 I guess your video is about the same guy... Ah, after watching the rest of your video I now remember that world cup where he broke his neck and continued playing. I didn't know his name was Bernhardt - I always knew him as Bert!
All those detached heads Bernard kicked into the ovens during the war really paid-off on the football pitch.
No, he didn't serve in concentration csmpst, he was a paratrooper on the front line Eastern and western front.
your joke doesn't even make sense, as he wasn't part of the Waffen-SS, and was never stationed in any of the camps.
"Hello Fritz, fancy a cup of tea?" this is how i would want to be caught as a german in ww2 tbh
I love how, even though you're English, you still hammed it up during the British soldier bit.
He doesn’t sound very English to me
He’s Irish mate 😂
They key is not being ugly, Qxir.
This video is of great quality. I love all your content but for some reason this one stands out
"I'm not even a Nazi, I'm just fuckin ugly" Best quote all year
I can surly empathize with him the fact he totally changed his mind and ideology. He was no longer a nation so he's totally fine by my standards. Also HE grew up forced with nazi ideology standards
