      What seems to be missing. All history narratives everywhere are impressed by whizz, bang action scenes.
      But, what about the economies of countries under German rule ? Assuming that all invaded people were impressed into servitude for the greater good of the III Reich. How did Germans control forced labour & production beyond GroBdeutschland ?
      eg. German military was 80% horse powered. Reich horses did not last long. Horses were stolen from occupied lands and their owners were sent East with them. [der Panjewagen - Polish]

    Meu pai foi chamado e quando me explicou que ia para a Itália, ele me disse: "seu pai é médico militar e vou servir ao meu país" e não me deixou chorar. Foi em navio comboio com americanos, chegou debaixo de bala, dormiu primeiro na mata e depois foi para o American Hospital em Livorno e só voltou quando não havia mais ninguém. Eu tinha oito anos e dez quando ele voltou de avião, quando a tropa aqui já havia desfilado. Eu tenho muito orgulho do meu pai que foi subdiretor do SEVEN STATION HOSPITAL EM LIVORNO.

    Not gonna lie, but the smoking snake insignia is just awesome, and the story behind it is even better. Also, I didn't knew that Brazil sent men to fight in Europe, so thanks for teaching this history. This is another example why I love history, learning things I didn't know before, and learning about things that would fall under my historical blind spots.

And 25,000 troops and 2 aerial units fought in Italy (1944-45). The fighter unit received the US Presidential Unit Citation.

      Hello, I'm Brazilian and a History teacher. The smoking snake emblem was born from a joke that Brazil would enter the war if the snake smoked. Well, Brazil did. And so this expression, "the snake is smoking", came to mean that the fight is going on, and is still used today to express when someone is going to take a tough stance. I hope you understood, I'm not good at English, but the holy Google Translate helped me.

    In Russia, in the 80s, school doesn't direct us much towards the history of the Allies in the Second World War. We talked more about the Patriotic War, about our side against Germany, and not about the other nations that contributed to defeating the Nazis. But when I went to the war museum in Moscow in 1986, I remember seeing the Brazilian flag in the Allied room.

      I think in the west it's sort of the opposite. Many people don't realize that the German/Russian part of WW2 was by far the most bloody part of the conflict.
      The human loss per country is estimated as:
      USSR - 20-27 million
      Germany - 6.9-7.4 million
      Japan - 2.5 - 3.1 million
      UK - 450,000

Unfortunately, sometimes, he still woke up at night screaming "who goes there!" and had a granade wound mark on his leg, it healed but wasn't the same. Lived until 93 years old.

    A friend of my family in Brazil, who we knew as Vicente, told us that he had been "informally" recruited to board one of the ships carrying the Brazilian contingent to Europe. In Italy, he apparently became a motorcycle courier, was wounded, found unconscious by American troops who gave him medical assistance, including putting a metal plate in his head. Returned to Brazil, he fought to have his service recognized, being at one point arrested at one of the offices of the War Ministry in Rio. As far as I know, he did eventually qualify for a veteran's pension. Because of that metal plate, he told us, he couldn't stay out in the tropical sun too long, as it would heat up and give him headaches. I knew him for a few years, and he was always a very decent and humble man.
    One of my uncles was an engineering student at Louisiana S. U. when the war with the US broke out. He found his name on a conscription list on campus, and although not an American, went along with the enlistment. He fought in the 1st Cavalry Div in the Pacific, notably in the Philippines, was decorated several times, and eventually was in the advance party of occupation that landed in Japan. After a long period in Japan, he was eventually returned Stateside, only to find out Louisiana State didn't seem to want him back -- he wasn't an American, after all. He obtained American citizenship some time after the war. Eventually Brazilian authorities found out of his war record, of his American naturalization, and -- both actions being prohibited under Brazilian law at the time -- revoked his Brazilian citizenship. He never, to my knowledge, tried to regain that citizenship, although Brazilian law was changed later on, in both respects. He was a warrior who didn't care about recognition.
    Just two more stories about Brazilians in WW2.

      I don't think that law on naturalization has changed from back then until the present day, late 2024. As the law stands nowadays, one can only have Brazilian dual citizenship by virtue of birth; if someone is born on Brazil, but has rights to American nationality due to having an American citizen for a parent, they can petition the American citizenship and keep the Brazilian one; however, if they obtain that citizenship by naturalization, that implies they have chosen to identify themselves by that nationality, and therefore lose the Brazilian one. He could have chosen to petition for permanent residency in the U.S. and kept his Brazilian passport, but he chose the American one. We don't blame him, but he made his choice. From what it looks like, he didn't regret it, either.

    The video is accurate but there's a mistake: only FIVE Brazilian fighter pilots lost their lives, not "22". A few became prisoners of war, but they survived.
    Also should be noticed that the 1st Brazilian Fighter Squadron was one of only three foreign units to receive the US Presidential Unit Citation (the others were 2 Australian units). Also our air force performed several attacks against U-boots, sinking at least one (U-199), along with the US Navy (wich sank more 10 U-boots in Brazilian coast).
    Ironically, although Brazil never had a permanent seat in the security council, the UN building was projected by a Brazilian architect: Oscar Niemeyer.

    My father's side of the family came from Germany in the early XX Century, they settled in Santa Catarina south of the country.
    My Great-grandfather "Bubi" enlisted into the FEB and became a Intelligence Officer mainly due to the fact he knew both german and english. I have some picutes of him on Italy during the war.
    His brother was also an army officer, graduated from the army's engineer institute (IME). While he didn't went to Europe, he did went to the US as part of the negotiations for the steel factory mentioned at 10:50 (Idk details of what he did besides "being part of the negotations"). Later in life he'd be an engineer for the Itaipú Dam, the third largest power dam in the world where he has a plaque on his honour, although in a restricted place within the instalations.

    Well, about Vargas he's seem as everything, the most common view however is a "grandpa politician", hes the dude your grandfather (or great grandfather) will be praising at the table saying that he only learned how to read thanks to him and how nobody was poor during his government. People in the right tends to see Vargas as a fascist or a communist since he created the modern Brazilian state and they tend to see state intervention as oppression, while people in the left tend to point out the good things Vargas did while also pointing the bad things he did and trying to leave the person to make the picture of him.
    Many parties are varguist, just to name the PDT, AVANTE, PSB, PRTB, etc, and it remains a popular political position (but not the most popular). At the end of the day he was everything, a president, a dictator, a revolutionary leader, a estabilishmentalist, a catholic, an atheist, a progressive, a conservative, he just knew how to change to keep his base of support. Above everything he was a populist and sold whoever the person he was talking wanted to buy.
    I give you special thanks for your respect with Brazil people and culture, many TH-camrs did videos about Brazil in WWII, ranging from respectable and well researched ones like History Matters to atrocious one like the WWII channel, but the main difference between them all is the effort you put, you visited Brazil, you met our people, you met our veterans, thank you very much for that.

    1 error, in Brazil the rubber trees dont grow in plantations, but in the jungle, which is very very hard work, they would have to stay for weeks on end in the jungle, with dangers of being bitten by venemous snakes, getting attacked by jaguars amongst others. In the Amazon, rubber trees dont grow in plantations due to diseases and bug plagues, poor soil, and the complex ecology of Amazônia. Ford tried to set up a rubber plantation at Fordlandia in the Brazilian rainforest next to the Tapajos river, but failed.

    Brazilian here.
    I didn't have any ancestors who fought in that war, but my great-grandfather, who was a worker in a factory that made rails and train cars, worked with a man who fought in Monte Castello.
    My grandmother once told me that a fireworks manufacturer went to test their new fireworks near the factory. The workers were on their lunch break, and when he heard the fireworks, he started to panic, because the sound was very similar to the sound of machine guns, and he ran and hid under a train car that was suspended between two beams. He was all curled up, with his hands over his ears and crying, and my great-grandfather was the one who managed to get him out.
    I never got to meet him, but I hope that the spirit of this great man was able to find peace.

    1. 4:30 I am one of the proudly offspring of this german inmigrants. I have been informed by my grandparents, that they thrived well, despite the state repression during the war time.
    Ivoti, back then, was mostly populated by germans, that lived peacefully, away from the nazi and comunist plague. 🏳
    I was born in 1982, and I remember with nostalgia the Hunsrückisch chats with my relatives, and the Hochdeutsch lessons from Grundshule.
    2. 23:30 As a libertarian, the only good mention I have about Vargas is that he chose the right side of the war, embracing US and the free world. 🗽

    Hello, my friend, how are you? My dear friend, your work is very fundamental. What you did in this video is very similar to a channel here in Brazil called Sala de Guerra (war room). Unfortunately, Brazilians also don't like history very much and know little about it.
    But what you described in this video, and I really like it, is about the Second World War, something that is also part of the history of my country. I would really like you to continue this work, because what you did in this video is fundamental and phenomenal.
    What you produced is very great, very great indeed. I am impressed with the level of detail and precision that you put into it. And look, I am very addicted to this subject, and you didn't make any mistakes. Congratulations on your channel and work!
    As for how we Brazilians see Getúlio Vargas, most people think he was a great man, but few know the great things he did. For example, here in Brazil we have a work permit, which is a form of registration that helps many needy Brazilians, but it ends up complicating the lives of those who want to start a business (since it is mandatory for everyone who does not have a company).
    Unfortunately, many people do not know the history of Brazil, but the type of work you do can help change that. Your videos can inspire other Brazilians to understand more about our history and who knows, it may inspire other Brazilians to make videos in PT-BR.
    As for Getúlio Vargas, for the majority he was a good man; for the communists, a terrible man; and, for the most radical right, a great man. For people like me, he was someone who knew how to deal with the situation very well, taking advantage of some advantages for Brazil while the world was on fire.

    As a Brazilian I feel like if you have an absolute view in Vargas, that’s saying, if you think he’s of all good or of all bad you are politically biased. He’s was a very contradictory character. He did abuse power, he did flirt with fascism, but at the same time he helped modernize Brazil, he started our industrialization, he modernized government institutions and he gave the people voice and better conditions in what was a very elitist country until he came to power. He had a lot of flaws, he was a dictator and did all the stuff dictators usually do. But you can’t ignore the good things he’s done and his big role in modernizing Brazil.

      Hitler fez tudo isso que o Vargas fez, na Alemanha, e muito mais... Mas não vejo nenhum alemão dizendo que ele foi um "estadista" que teve um grande papel na modernização da Alemanha... Claro, Getúlio Vargas matou muito mais comunistas e socialistas do que a Ditadura Militar de 64, inclusive deportou alguns deles para a Alemanha Nazista(como a comunista alemã Olga Benário), mas todo esquerdista adora exaltar a figura dele, como "o melhor Presidente da História do Brasil", como um "grande estadista", etc... Getúlio Vargas teve a sua importância na História do Brasil em relação ao desenvolvimento e industrialização do País, mas está longe de ter sido um "grande líder"... Ele desvalorizou as Forças Armadas e os veteranos brasileiros da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Não á toa, foi derrubado por um golpe de Estado em Outubro de 1945, por forças políticas civis e militares, e substituído por um dos Comandantes das Forças Armadas Brasileiras durante a Guerra, o Marechal Eurico Gaspar Dutra, que serviu como Ministro da Guerra durante a Ditadura de Getúlio Vargas...

    Vargas is actually called "pai dos pobres" (the father of the poor). He has managed to become a model for both the left and the right. Emerging from almost 40 years of the Old Republic, which is also known as the Oligarchic Republic or the Coffee and Milk Republic, due to the dominance of coffee producers from São Paulo and milk producers from Minas Gerais, the gains in workers' rights, especially highlighted by the CLT (Consolidação das Leis Trabalhistas, or Consolidation of Labor Laws), and the nationalist drive for Brazilian industrialization and unity are what set the goals that every Brazilian politician aspires to achieve.
    Of course, there is a lot of criticism directed at him, I particularly don't like him very much, but that is the general sentiment regarding him.

    Today Vargas still have a divided image among brazilians, but both sides have admiration for his government's diplomatic capacity throughout the war. But this debate occurs more among academic people here. I remember when I was young, elders always spoke well and with a tender voice about him, I believe the reason is that his government was responsible for the creation of the minimum wage and the labour laws. After his death, streets in the capital were taken by citizens showing their grief.

    Even happier to see him with veteran heroes of our country, my grandfather was one of those veterans. Where I live there was also another veteran, he often talked about the war and what he saw there.
    Regarding Vargas, the popular memory of him is generally positive, especially among those who experienced his period in power. Today, however, his figure generates a lot of controversy, mainly due to the fact that he was a dictator and arrested political opponents, etc.
    Personally, I think that the view of him should be as "neutral" as possible, because he is responsible for modern Brazil as we know it, for the struggle of workers and their labor rights, and the second war was not up to the task to make the right decision, even though it was clearly not his favorite decision.

    I'm brazilian and Getulio Vargas is the most famous president of brazilian history. Not because of the war. Here this part is a small chapter in our history classes in school. Vargas stablished the minimum wage, doubled it a few years later and made the base of welfare state, such as unemployment insurance, retirement laws, universal healthcare, etc. He killed himself in 1950's to became martyr and to prevent a coup d'etat. He wrote a suicide letter to all brazilians with a famous quote: 'I leave life to enter history!'
    He is considered the leader that brought modernization to Brazil. The WW2 is teached here more for us to know where our industrialization started (US land lease), but is also to teach about how uncertain to define Vargas in any political spectrum. He sent brazilian communists and jews to Germany but also held negotiations with the Allies at the same time. Most people define him as someone ambitious that tried to fill the gaps and make any gain possible with any side of the war.

      O único judeu que lembro dele ter enviado para a Alemanha foi Olga Benário, que era Alemã e espiã da URSS. Inclusive foi bem benevolente com ela e seu marido que tentaram dar um golpe.

    Sou Professor de História, e posso dizer que o povo brasileiro, pelo menos uma grande maioria, não tem História como matéria preferida, mas a maioria lembra do Vargas como o criador da carteira de trabalho, porém também não sabe exatamente como foi o seu governo ou o período que o mundo vivia. Seu governo reflete bem esse período, seja no Estado Novo ou no período democrático que ele volta ao poder por meio do voto no pós-guerra. No estado de São Paulo, Vargas não é tão relembrado com nomes em locais públicos ou escolas pelo motivo da Revolução de 32. Eu gosto de falar aos alunos que Vargas é um caso de amor e ódio; e que para o bem ou para o mal mudou o Brasil, que o país deve ser pensando em antes de Vargas e depois de Vargas, pois ele conseguiu ser populista autoritário e mártir para milhões.

      The school my father studied was named after Getulio Vargas, he studied on ETE Getulio Vargas, located on the same neighbourhood the brazilian independence was declared, on Ipiranga. But I think he has about the same love/hate proportions on all brazilian states, maybe except on the south.

    Dear Stefan, I didn't know your Channel, but after watching this video, I quickly realized that you do excellent quality work and so I just subscribed.
    I would like to address some points that I believe are useful in the topic discussed:
    - What greatly increased trade between the 2 countries was a German system that allowed commercial exchanges without involving traditional currencies such as dollars or pounds, creating credits that were exchanged in the import/export relationship. Germany thus became Brazil's main partner before the war.
    - Brazil under license manufactured Focke-Wulf FW-44 Stieglitz (single engine for training) and FW-58 Weihe (twin engine aircraft which ironically would later be used to search for U-boats). It was also planned to assemble the advanced four-engine FW-200 Condor (the civil version was already used in the country by the company Sindicato Condor, later renamed Serviços Aéreos Cruzeiro do Sul, founded by Germans - being the first four-engine to be operated by a company South American airline), but this did not happen due to the conflict.
    - Although the Brazilian fighter group in Italy was small numerically, the number of targets destroyed/Brazilian aircraft was much greater than that of American units in that theater, remembering that ground attack missions were considered the most dangerous by the pilots, even more facing experienced Flak operators, like those in the region.

      Finally, I would recommend 2 documentaries:
      - "LIBERATORI" - The FEB seen by the Italians (full film): th-cam.com/video/osMO9d77ZtI/w-d-xo.html
      - Senta A Pua! (in Portuguese, with English subtitles: th-cam.com/video/5DTROkLVpM4/w-d-xo.html) - the History of the Brazilian hunting group in Italy

    Great video! I really enjoyed the way you explained everything. By the way, did you know that the metal band Sabaton has a song dedicated to the Brazilian campaign in World War II? It's called "Smoking Snakes," or "Cobras Fumantes," in honor of the Brazilian soldiers who fought in Italy. Thought that was a cool fact to share! Keep up the awesome work!

    In the rest of Brazil, it seems to me that Getúlio Vargas is regarded as one of the greatest presidents in Brazilian history, but specifically in the state of São Paulo, he is still frowned upon by the majority of Paulistas (the inhabitants of São Paulo). So much so that there is still a very strong boycott of the naming of places after him.

    Great to know that I'm not the only one talking about this very important moment in the History of Rio and of Brazil, both as the granddaughter of Sargent Julio Andermann, who was also with the Brazilian Expedition Force in WW2, and as a Tour Guide, I was astounded to discover that practically no one knew of Brazil's participation in the war and some even thought that we were "fighting for both sides" . I hope you got to visit the inside of the Monument, especially the Mausoleum. One correction in regards to which side we were on though: We were never neutral. Getúlio Vargas at first sided with Mussolini and then in 1942 we switched sides and sided with Roosevelt and the allied forces, forming the good neighbours policy.

    23:40 Dictator! For many reasons, which need to be explored in other videos. For example, the propaganda that Vargas constantly made in schools, the police military violence, torture, government diapering, and how he tried very hard to hide poverty and hunger from the true face of reality. We have many songs that talk about those moments when the cold and terrifying shadow dominated our streets. Vargas made good decisions and bad decisions, which led to the "suicide" that many of us certainly don't believe was suicide at all. It was a move to prevent him from coming to power again, as he had a very good chance.

    Brasilian here,
    Vargas is a complex character, his history in power is interesting, like you said in the video he was elected before the 1932 Revolution, but then ruled the country until 1945 (we call this period the Vargas Era), and in it we all agree he was a dictator. He would than be elected again in 1951 and, in Ausgust 1954, after a hedious crime with political implications to a journalist, the military pressure him to resign, but he decided to put matters into his on hands and took his life, an act that can be debated it delayed the Military Coup in 10 years
    id say hes mostly well regarded here in Brasil but with some caveats, since he was in fact a dictator for most of his time in power, but well regarded nonetheless

    Meu Bizavô fugiu da Polônia para o Brasil quando os alemães e soviéticos começaram a esmagar Varsóvia, depois se voluntariou e foi incorporado ao 1ª DIE (Divisão de Infantaria Expedicionária). Eu nunca o conheci, mas eu adorava ouvir as histórias que meu vô contava.
    Ele dizia que os pilotos brasileiros inventaram uma tática para bombardear as posições inimigas em Monte Castelo: Os pilotos se aproximavam em média altitude e soltavam fuligem para simularem terem sido atingidos, depois mergulhavam realizando manobras para simular perda de controle, quando se aproximavam do solo eles estabilizavam os aviões e bombardeavam os alvos.
