They are included in the UK numbers, just like the Canadian, Australian and others countries who were part of the British Empire. The video mentioned the UK casualties included people from the colonies.
This is knowledge would serve them well, if they are able to connect how their home country played a role in all this. For example, an american watching this video would appreciate to know their own contributions.
A very compassionate doctor who worked for the Nazis named Dr. Hans Asperger. He was tasked with determining the people brought to the facility who was able to communicate. He didn't determine who would die and live. He was studying kids with autism spectrum. Specifically the kids who had what we know of today as Asperger's syndrome. He was allowed to practice after the war and I think some few doctors in Germany at the time used the worst things humans have ever done, with no to find the best they could do to help the future because they knew the war was lost before it began. As for the evil doctors, they werent doctors. They weren't people. They were devil's.
My german grand uncle got killed by the nazis because he was sitting in a wheelchair while his father was forced to fight for hitler , its disgusting He found out that his oldest son was killed by the people who he was fighting for after he came back from russian war prison
Yes exactly. I feel even worse about it due to the fact that I had family fighting in both sides. Even found later in light that through one of my grandfathers somebody the family they they are part Jew too by a small percentage.
@Red of the Man what sort of fallacious mental gymnastics is this, ignoring USAs problems simply because other places have it worse? Ignoring that certain communities are more impoverished than others, due to intergenerational wealth disparity that hasn't yet been solved. What's with people like who you only strive for mediocrity, comparing yourself to the worst. it's pretty weird. Imagine my kid came up to me hungry, crying for food. And I told him to suck it up because all the other starving kids. Sounds like mediocrity
@Red of the Man The way you framed your writing is very misleading *"Holding past issues against the USA for no reason"* You mean issues like paying reparations to slave owners who lost their human workers, rather than the communities in a self reinforcing cycle of poverty? *"irrefutable atrocities"* As if acknowledging other world atrocities has any benefit to fixing problems, the only thing it does is strive for mediocrity
I have seen many "tribal/villages/whatever" react to videos but these three guys are really special. all have a great character, all are very intelligent and humble, lets hope they will stay healthy and enjoy their life
To Babubhai, Raeen and Sarru after this video: “When you are so full of sorrow that you can't walk, can't cry anymore, think about the green foliage that sparkles after the rain.

Beautiful... I needed this today. I just lost my father 2 months ago and its been hard. What gives me peace is my sister's daughter who was born too early and we almost lost her..Now she is thriving at 4 months old. Her laugh kills the sadness in my heart.
Hindsight is a bitch. It was for a large part Einstein who urged Roosevelt to start the Manhatten Project. To quote a man who is for a part responsible for the creation of these weapons in this context feels wrong.
@@loddfafnir6111 "Szilard and two other Hungarian physicists, Edward Teller and Eugene Wigner, who were both refugees, told Einstein of their grave concerns. Szilard wrote the letter, but Einstein signed it, as they believed he had the most authority with the president."
@@loddfafnir6111 Simple, Einstein back telling Roosevelt not necessarily because he wanted the weapons to exist, but because he knew that if Germany focused on such research they had the ability to produce a bomb in the near future. In fact, Germany Japan and several other nations all considered it. With hindsight we know they did not have critical capabilities, but no one knew until after the war if they would manage to pull it off. Had they invested as much as the US (or more) into nuclear technology, it is feasible that an Axis power could have made a weapon by war's end. It was not a silver bullet, it was a desperate race to gain nuclear weapons before one of the axis did and used it. Japan just happened to never find the Uranium reserves near Manchuria, they did not believe they could complete a weapon within ten years. Germany invested into other research but did have test reactors in place. Remember that many of the physicists involved with this discussion had worked/ studied there before the war.
Vivashvan Bhushan Of course and agree. Everyone has the right to defend themselves. But the one who is driven by any interest stars the war is criminal. Self defense is something else.
It's an interesting quote, but I don't think it's correct. There weren't any world war before advanced technology with guns, and big nations with hundreds of millions of people arose. There were nations that got far, such as the roman empire, but never on a world scale. if WW3 sets us all so far back in time in technology and humans lives, we would probably also go back to having wars on more limited scales up until guns and such have been invented again. Then another world war might happen once technology has yet again caught up. And yes, this is of course disregarding what Fell man said, which is that any ww3 weapons would no longe be usable by then.
@@Devilsnightforlife Well yeah. That's like the only way Einstein's quote could have any legitimacy. But it still doesn't. My theory is a lot more realistic. A lot of weapons made it from ww1 to ww2 for example like the lewis gun and mosin nagant after all. So yeah anything that's not broken or beyond repair YOU USE. I hope people don't have any more world wars let alone any wars though.
That's the thing though. Nobody is born an angel or devil. Nazis used to be ordinary Germans when the Wiemar Republic fell. Average age of men that died was 23... most of them grew up in the failing economy post WWI... and were turned into sycophants by fascism... I'm not excusing what the Nazis did, but I think, when we stop believing some people are more "good" than others, we can all realize we are all just humans trying their best in the political situation they were born. We should work to create peaceful policies, to prevent fascism from taking advantage of people's patriotism and rising again!
@@toericabaker like Jordan peterson said "the moment you stop thinking of yourself as capable of turning into a monster, is the moment you begin the path to becoming one."
@@daemonzap1481 Jordan Peterson is a hack. Try watching his Žižek debate. Ego describes the phenomenon of believing you're above such cruelty -- and that idea is as old as Socrates.
It breaks my heart to see these lovely men confronted with the ugly reality of war. But through their unwitting sacrifice of innocence, we see how calloused we in more "advanced" nations have become. "Any man's death diminishes me." That sentiment is displayed on their faces and prayers while many of us read a death toll headline then move on to a pic of Jlo's abs. I could not watch this entire vid, I am not strong enough. But the reactions of Babu, Sarru and Raeen will hopefully snap some viewers into the reality of war and the human connections we all share.
You mean you missed the good news about the 'long peace'? The top 44 economies in the world haven't fought each other in 70 years or so, which is the longest period of peace between "Great Powers" since the Roman Empire. You also missed the part that put WW2 in perspective : in terms of percentage of world population killed, WW 2 was far from the worst. Some ancient wars were far more deadly. And lastly, you missed the part where it was proven that the chance of a person dying in combat today is pretty much as low as its ever been in human history. So 3 pieces of good news. And all totally missed. But not by our humble and tough villagers. And no, 'any man's death' does not 'diminish' me. We all will die. Some die committing evil acts and hurting other men and innocent children or women. I dare say the world is a better place without the SS in it, as just one example. Is it sad the SS existed in the first place? Yes. But evil is the price one pays for Free Will assuming that exists.
@@remo27 A point about the percentage of population statistic, many of those older wars and conflicts happened over hundreds of years, while WW2 happened over 6. IIRC the figures they're citing are most likely the Mongol Conquests (which often include Tamerlane in their figuring) and the Three Kingdoms period of China. Both of these conflicts lasted over 100 years. The 20th century was in every respect the worst one Humanity has on record in terms of deaths caused intentionally by humans, we just have to always study it, hope to learn from it, and not repeat it.
@@BeepDeige Most Mongol Conquests (military campaigns) happened over the period of a year or two, followed by periods of peace. The Mongol Empire was not one long war, so I'm afraid your argument falls apart on this point.
@@remo27 The numbers that I've seen citing the "Mongol Conquests" tend to lump about 200 years of conquests into a single figure. If you take any given war waged by the Mongols during their period of expansion then it is a far smaller figure than the death tolls connected to the World Wars. I agree that the Mongol empire was more than just "one big war" but that's often how it's framed when the argument is made that other wars in history were "worse per capita" than 20th century wars.
"Whether they were Jews or something else, they were human." -Babu. These men only have 1 bias. Love. I believe they should win some kind of humanitarian award, including the channels creators. You get those for doing great things for humanity and this channel is doing just that. I won't lie...most of my life as an American I THOUGHT people in the east were more wicked. That they had an inherited hatred for me. But you guys show that this is definitly not true. And you're so inspiring. You show emotion over things most of us don't. This is a real educational moment for us watching.
In America most of the people think every brown man is Arab or Muslim I have seen some interviews where they ask where is India they all say in middle East😂😂 lack of knowledge is the cause of hatred nothing else
@@tejaskolekar7127 ikr I’m Somalian and It pains me how many hatred America has for other countries, no hate intended, it’s just sad to see how many people support trump, hitler..... I pray for America 🇺🇸
@@arcticchain5264 Know that those Americans full of hate are a minority and most people that supported him were not fully understanding of what he was. Ignorance is to often to blame for people like him coming to power. Trump also did not win the 2016 election by popular vote, losing by 20 million. He won the presidency on the count of electoral votes and that is based on the states whose majority of votes he won and thereby claimed all the electoral votes of that state. (A odd system and one many Americans want changed.) These nationalist and racist organizations you are hearing about are not the norm here and despite their large voice with Trump's support they are despised by most Americans and that includes most white Americans. It is the same as Muslims who have nothing to do with the jihadists killing innocents and terrorizing the world. That extremist vision is not shared by the majority of Muslims but it can be hard to separate them from the whole for people looking in from the outside. All we can do is educate each other on the truth and try to live in peace. Hopefully we get to that point before it goes the other direction and hate wins out.
I’d love to see more history reactions from this channel. It’s a shame how such a humbling and enlightening subject is often forgotten in a lot of other reaction channels. It’s a great way to form insights, awareness and understanding of world events. And, with the right material, history can be the exact opposite of boring!
Every time I see this video or read about WWII I cry my eyes red, but this was even more heartbreaking because I didn't really want these pure-hearted guys to know what the rest of us have been doing to each other this whole time. Human nature is the same everywhere, but at least the 'Long Peace' gives us a little hope that we can learn from the tragedies we create.
Do u consider to kill an evil enemy leader war, is my question then? Its highly risky and creates a situation that can easily spiral out of control, but many have thought about what would have happened if someone would have killed hitler early, or mao or stalin or kim- jong un or xi xingping. Maybe that is going too far and would do more harm than help, what do u think about it? Has every nation to free itself from evil dictatorship, leaving millions to starve or getting executed, or is it ok to help from outside, even if it has the potential of a big war?
@@robertbretschneider765 I used to say the love of money is the root of all evil. But as I've gotten older, I have to change that to the love of money and power is the root of all evil. Countries do need some form of government that is run/led by someone that cares for the people and country. I may be wrong and hope that I am, but the only one I've heard of lately is Jose Mujica of Uruguay. He even donated most of his salary to social projects and stayed in his farmhouse and drove a old VW Beetle. And he has critics for other things he's done. No human is perfect, so no government will ever be perfect.
200,000 Indian men served in World War II from 1939 and by the end of the war (August 1945) they become the LARGEST volunteer army in HISTORY rising to over 2.5 million. Edit: When the bloke in the middle (Raeen) says "crore", it is a Indian unit of measurement (10,000,000 = crore).
Many volunteer Indian soldiers fought for the Japanese because the Japanese promised them independence from Britain. If I recall, Gandhi said he supported the British and that when India gained its independence, it should leave the British Empire on good terms.
@@jacklewis5452 ofcourse in a country of billion people not everyone had the same ideology. many did support japan because of their hate for British while others felt japanese would be more evil than British so they sided with the British during WW2. But in the end both parties wanted independence of India from any external rule
@@jacklewis5452 no I'll tell you what happened, during the Burma campaign, when Japanese were marching from Singapore to Burma, there were many battles fought, Singapore had already fallen and Britain could have extracted Indian soldiers but they didn't they left Indian POWs in the hands of the Japanese to their own fate, so during this time our freedom struggle was going on and rashbihari Bose and subhas Chandra Bose our freedom fighters of India, organised an army called Indian national army with the Indian POWs in the hands of Japanese and Germany (Indian legion), this forced the British to get on the back foot they saw a mutiny within the British Indian army and they were afraid, the INA didn't fight much against the British during the war, but it ensured that all Indian POWs were safe as they now "sided" with the axis powers, smart move 😂, it Also sent a message to the British that it was time to leave India, as there were so many mutinies, and there were only 80,000 British in the Indian army by the end of 1945, in 1946 the Indian navy revolted, this was a nail in the coffin and Britain started packing it's bags and left India in 1947, mahatma Gandhi organised the civil independence movement, but the independence was largely because of the revolt of the armed forces which was the ideology of subhas Chandra Bose.
I’ve spent my life studying the war and I really appreciated this video, to me it’s just as good as the music and space ones. I hope at some point you can show them more about the war and some of the amazing stories of the human spirit.
@@avengernemesis7990 Agreed. My great-gandfather survived it too, injured on one of the last german planes that left the stalingrad siege. He became a cementary gardener afterwards and working together with kids in church service. His wife, with my grand-uncle as a little boy and my grandfather in her womb, survived the firestorm - bombing of dresden. This son (My grand-uncle) became an active peace activist, that got threatened and spyed on many times by the east german secret service (Stasi) for his political fight against the nuclear arms race. The burning sky above him and the many burning corpses as a child left him with severe PTSD his entire life, he wasnt able to sit by any campfire. Even my father was shouted on for his support of his uncles efforts by his sowjet-communsit school director. But now germany can go a better way, not for war, but for diplomacy and peace to make this world a better one.
Please tell these three gentlemen that my grandfather was in the first wave of soldiers on Omaha Beach. He lived to the age of 95. He was a wonderful man.
I'm always impressed by the amount of wisdom shown by their statements, even when lacking education (in the western sense). makes you think that we as a modernized civilization might have lost something along the way...
It’s more of them being better people. In tribal areas or small villages the people there tend to be a lot better people. You can even see this in America. Most small towns you visit here are filled with kind people whereas you can’t say the same about cities
@@telordesuvage3072 My favorite thing about small towns is that some of them dont have Police Departments and justice comes from the people. Meaning if someone were to murder, or rape. Odds are that person would “mysteriously disappear”
Given their peace-loving nature, acquiring that knowledge of history that should never be repeated was certainly useful but also so heartbreaking ah think a reaction to Andre Rieu's Ode to Joy is perfect for lifting their spirits.
Thanks for showing this to them. As sad as it is, It’s good history to know and still affects a lot of folks to this day😞 I had an Uncle killed in WW2, almost the exact story of Saving Private Ryan. My great grandmother had 4 boys in at the same time, the only one killed was the only one that went voluntarily. He was only 21 years old with a newborn baby he never got to meet and killed in the Hürtgen Forest 💝 RIP PFC Robert Bloom 1923-1944 🪖💜
I remember me saying "Stop!" outloud, over and over again, when the soviet tower kept growing. I am german and I grew up with the horrible stories of the nazis, but I never knew how many fell. I am still so shocked. You three are so sweet and bright men! We need more of your kind in the world. Bless you for your wisdom!
My great grandmother's family moved from Germany to America after or right before the end of the first World War (not quite sure on the exact date). Probably a good thing too cause I might not be here today if they had stayed. I found some old German postcards from around that time where family in Germany wrote to my great grandmother's family. I have no idea if I have any living relatives left in Germany after WWII. I hope to maybe find out some day. My family has a lot of things from the 1910's and 1920's in a sea chest that were from Germany, even a barber's knife made in Germany (still VERY sharp to this day)
@@JTMaster This chest must've been like a treasure from the past. I always find it very interesting to find out where we come from. Do you know from which part of germany your great grandmother came?
Their reactions are so pure and genuine. We must all learn as these wise men already know, to see everyone as human and having value. No more us vs. them mentality. Down that road, there is only death.
All three of these amazing people, Should be given the opportunity to visit a country of there choosing. Sarru, Babu, Raeen are people the world need ❤❤✌❤✌

I really want to see them react to the history of World War II, like what specifically happened including the Polish Invasion, Pearl Harbour, USSR Invasion and Auschwitz :)
@@dmschoice2571 I have to disagree. The humour may not translate well to their languages, and I believe that seeing battle footage first-hand in a documentary manner is better for increasing awareness and understanding, especially if they are to learn it for the first time.
@@daltonmojica how about vids from Simple History. They present documentary seriously and their cartoons help make great visualization of what happened.
I have become obsessed with watching these guys react. They all 3 have such pure hearts and kind words. I would love to see this channel expand to more of their family and friends.
Even as the fallen of both world wars have long gone we must never forget their sacrifices in protecting their home, their land, their families. No matter which part of the war you were in. My grandpapa and grandmama fought in WW2 they tell me stories of the front every time I visit them. every year I go to their grave and pay tribute and respect. "Lest we forget" 🌹
Very informative & very heartfelt. The 3 of them saw each of the fallen as Human, irrespective of Nationality or affiliation & the numbers were not a statistic to them; that is the true gain one gets when one analysis the cost of war in Human terms. Unfortunately people too often forget that.
Im kind of interested in their prior knowledge about WW2 or if they had any at all. Because looking at the deaths is shocking, but its more shocking when you look at the reasons and motivations behind those deaths.
Yeah, when they talked about the Jewish deaths I was thinking that they're not going to know that the Nazis specifically targeted the Jews for extermination.
One possible mistake in the translated version they heard: 16% of the Polish population died, not 60%. I admit, it's sometimes a bit difficult to tell those two numbers apart when spoken.
@@yessir889 The original video in English is correct, but what they actually heard is its Hindi translation prepared for them. When the elder man said reacted with "60%" (as we can see in the subtitles on screen), I guessed that at some point there has been a miscommunication. That's why I wanted to clarify that the original video actually said 16% (which sounds similar to 60%).
I’m the one who originally suggested this video, thank you so much for showing it to them! It was amazing to see people from a completely different culture and background have the same reaction to war that I had. The man who created that video also created a video about nuclear war if you all would be interested in sharing it with them, though it may be slightly more complex than this one. Thanks for the great content!
I am from Saint Petersburg (former Leningrad) and the stories of my babushka, who survived the WW2 and the siege of Leningrad as a child are horrifying. People had to eat glue and dead neighbors to survive. The city was bombed every single day. There were no people to bury the dead and they were just lying in the streets frozen solid. And it's just a tip of an iceberg. Thank you for showing them this video!
@@58jennypenny yes, but then again, it does not even cover the atrocities of this war. If you really want to get the idea of what happened, I highly recommend watching a Russian movie "Come and see" (1985). It's an amazing movie, but it is very hard to watch. It's a kind of movie that you need to see, but you would never watch again.
@@parapanofff I have read a book (from a russian, if i am correct) about the siege of leningrad, adding some story and characters. Its called "Stadt der Diebe" ("City of Thieves" - if u translate it directly from german, i only know the german title sadly.) U suffered extremely for sure.
@@robertbretschneider765 so cool that a Russian and a German can have a civil discussion in 21st century. Don't know the book you are mentioning, I will have to look it up. Btw, I lived in Berlin for 7 months and I absolutely love the city and the country! Alles Gute!
I’ve read so many books and seen so many documentaries l, but I can NEVER get used to these numbers. It breaks my heart and numbs my brain, to think how one human being can do this to another 😢
The horror of the world wars was truly staggering, seeing the horror and sadness in their faces learning about the cost of human lives reminds me of how my classmates and I looked when we learned about ww1 and ww2. Please I ask you to show them the story of Desmond Dos, a US combat medic who survived the war without carrying a gun. He was a true man of god and I think they need to hear that story after learning of the losses. I also suggest showing them the stories of the animals that fought in the world wars, my favorite being sergeant stubby of ww1.
So was mine. He told me horror stories of what he was forced to witness at 4 years old. My grandfather was a policeman in Denmark. He refused to work for the Germans. And was thrown into a concentration camp for the whole war. How he survived it, I can't imagine. But he made a book for us. Telling his story & all his drawings he made at camp to remember & show others what it looked like. He was in the Danish newspapers too. And kept the articles for us to read. Pure hell.
I wanted to ask how one would be able to send a gift to any of the villagers. I know Raeen likes spicy food, as do I and I would like to order him a Tobasco Sauce gift set to share. Thank you for the info.
Thank you, everyone. I should have looked there in the first place. I'm a knucklehead... BTW, I LOVE the jalapeno Tobasco sauce myself. Awesome flavor.
I watch the video they're watching every now and then. I have family that fought in Both World Ward. The loss, the Horror. I always cry watching that video.
It's interesting to watch people who only know the basics of it explore this subject further. It is insane how many have died... nobody should go through the trauma of a war, yet we still choose to (at least our governments all across the world, regardless of which ruling party or person, so please don't start blaming whoever or whatever). All wars might have had winners, but all were a loss to humanity overall.
Such wise words and emotions. I hope there will be no exceptions to their disdain of war. Only defending oneself is acceptable reason to use force. " no one wins in war". I think this film should be shown in every school in the world. Let young people see h ow futile war is.
I am rly happy that my suggestion from a vew videos back were heared. I rly like these 3 guys and if only a handful of people in the world would be as humble and friendly as these 3, the world would be a way better place. Let us just hope such attrocities will never happen again.
As a German, I see it as my responsibility that something like this must never happen again. It must never happen again and our country should stand for democracy and peace and convey this to other countries. Not as teachers, not as "liberators", but as ambassadors. And if you do even your small part to be polite, to look beyond prejudices and to approach people, then a lot is already done. Because the truth is: we are all human beings. Blacks, whites, Europeans, Americans, Asians, Muslims, Jews, Christians - whatever. If we want to, we can understand each other. We don't always have to agree, but we can learn from each other. Article 1 of the German Basic Law, which was created after World War 2: "Human dignity is inviolable." Greetings from Germany. Liebe geht raus an euch!
I really appreciate that you said ambassadors. It eliminates the possibility of trying to forcefully change other parts of the world in some type of democracy crusade or using it as an excuse to attack other countries. Sadly the big democratic countries still do that.

One of my grandfathers served in World War 2, after signing up at the age of 17. He went through Africa, Italy, France, all the way to Berlin, & was on a boat to the Pacific when it ended. The entire war. He was 19 when he was in the first boat of the second wave landing on Omaha Beach, the worst of Normandy. He was one of the first soldiers, with his unit, to come across Auschwitz-Birkenau. While he was in a hospital in Italy, most of the Company he started with were fighting the Battle of the Bulge. Of the Company he started with, he was the only one to come home. None of this was an accomplishment for his life, it was simply what he endured. The summer before he passed away, he knew he didn't have much time left. Me & him used to talk about life, more than he did with my father, uncle, or anyone besides my grandmother. His life's accomplishments were coming home to marry the girl down the street he grew up with, & staying married for over 65 years, he met his first great grandson, all 6 grandchildren reach the age of 25. After learning metal work from his father-in-law, they made the first prosthetics for a doctor in Detroit, followed by a long career making molds for car parts, some of his were still in use 20 years after he retired. His gardens bloomed wonderful roses & lilies & tulips. Your reactions to what happened back then were his reactions to it as well. He would have been very glad to meet you, & share in the beauty of the world we have today. On behalf of my grandfather, Harris Weston Rideoutt, I thank you gentlemen. May you live in such beautiful & wonderful days. May our history books continue to teach the next generation the horrors of war, so that one day none have to experience them.
My grandparents were in the war as civilians and I had cousins that fought as soldiers and died and some that survived. My grandparents survived or I would not be here... but still, sometimes you talked with them, even all these many years after... and they would have this look of horror in their face, and change argument, and try to talk about ANYTHING different from the war. They really did not want to remember that time. As European, I say this from the bottom of my heart: NEVER AGAIN!!!
Omg these men have put a blessing in my heart. And tears in my eyes for joy that people all over have the same beliefs that all people on Earth should have. And that is peace and well being to all man woman and children alike. God bless us all
How surprised they are makes me realize that myself and other western and 1st world countries have become numb to death by war and show how dehumanized we've been. I'm glad to see things like this bc it breaks your reality and shows you actuality. I don't understand how anyone could kill someone else especially just by being different. Like why. What did those Jewish people do that was so bad. What did those people who didn't agree with you do that you had to kill them.
Idc how bad anyone has done something, or the wrongs they've done along the way I wouldn't wish someone to be gassed and emaciated to death the way Gods people were. The actual Gods people the humble servants. But even the corrupt ones I still have faith in change in them.
I truly admire Babu. He seems to be a man who has known great hardship and struggle in his long life. Yet, instead of letting these things make him hard and indifferent to the struggles and tragedies of people he has never met, it has made him into a very compassionate, sensitive man, who is devoted to his faith. We should all learn some things from him. I am very impressed by him. I pray the rest of his life is long, comfortable, and happy. He has earned it.
I have a story about my grandfather, who served in the US Navy in the Pacific during WWII. He would have been part of the invasion of Japan had the nuclear bombs not forced Japan's surrender. Amazingly, his ship's crew took liberty in Nagasaki, after the city had been bombed. He never talked about that very much. While the use of the nuclear weapons was at best morally vague, the fact that Japan surrendered prior to the invasion means that I have two uncles, an aunt, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who might never have been born.
These 3 are so innocent & pure in the way they think.... it's so uplifting (apart from the lists of dead of course R.I.P, For all involved.....LEST WE FORGET!)
These three were so amazingly human in their reactions, the sorrow on their face for the millions of deaths of innocence and soldiers alike. I forget how different it is for people who are unaware and aren't desensitized to the massive numbers of world War 2
There are more children are more children showing themselves worshipping different ways on TH-cam to please show that to them so I can see their reaction it would be a breath of fresh air
YES please share more knowledge like this. I LOVE this content. I love watching Raeen shaking his head with so much interest about history and all kinds of knowledge. I hope I see him become someone in future who can change lives.
to be honest, this kind of irked me as well. it was a team effort, no need to elevate your own nation above the others. if there's anything we should have learned from that war, it's that treating your nation as exceptional compared to others is a terrible idea that leads to untold evils and peril.
@@kathorsees I can relate, albeit I don't blame them, neither can I when many of their ancestors fought in the WW2 but was never represented, only as casualties of UK, I would been deeply disappointed to hear/see that as an Indian knowing my grand father fought the nazis. We'd never win this without U.S, but the U.S would never have won without the other nations fighting, if Germany had won EU, they would have assembled for US sooner or later.
I wish they had been told of all the brave Indian men who fought and died alongside us British. We are forever in their debt and we remember them. My Great Grandfather died fighting in Italy.
I have an interesting story about my family's role in WW2. My family is originally from Bengal (India) on my mother's side of family, 36 members died of hunger because the British thought that Japan would eventually gain Bengal and so, they wanted the Japanese to inherit a desolate land. But fate had something else in store and the Japanese had reached the end of their supply lines in Burma, about a thousand kilometres away. Hence, the Japanese bombed Bengal and in those, 29 more members of my mom's family passed away. Only four survived, who fled to the neighbouring state of Odisha, where they miraculously survived, all thanks to the huge hearts of the native tribals. Odisha was then a land of mostly dense forests and hence, British presence was minimal, but the few that were there, lived at one with the many indigenous tribes and hence were much, much more compassionate than the ones in Bengal. A few months later, they setup my great grandfather with a job at a station house (administrative office of the British Raj) and even provided him with a two-month advance on salary, something that was totally unheard of at that time. In the span of a few weeks, my great grandfather saw the worst as well as the best of the British Raj. But all our stars go to thank the big-hearted tribals of Odisha, who are really simple people, who are the reason behind my existence. On my dad's side of our family, my great-grandfather and one of his two brothers died at El-alamein. The other one was taken POW in Italy, but he escaped and lived off the land for two weeks, eventually finding his way to the Americans. He was put on a boat to be sent back, something about not trusting POWs, but he was adamant and thus, joined the British Indian army in Burma. He wasn't done with wars though, and after flushing out both Germans and Japanese troops in WW2, he immediately joined the Indian army in flushing out Pakistani troops from Kashmir in 1947. That war broke him as he had to fight his own brothers-in-arms. He eventually passed away of a heart attack and to this day, his only regret is not having any notable honours to pass on to his future generations. Quite a mixed bag, my family.

You should tell them that 90,000 Indians were also lost in WW2. 2.5 million Indians fought on the side of the allies.
They are included in the UK numbers, just like the Canadian, Australian and others countries who were part of the British Empire. The video mentioned the UK casualties included people from the colonies.
3 million Bengalis were killed by Churchill in the manufactured Bengal famine.

A very compassionate doctor who worked for the Nazis named Dr. Hans Asperger. He was tasked with determining the people brought to the facility who was able to communicate. He didn't determine who would die and live. He was studying kids with autism spectrum. Specifically the kids who had what we know of today as Asperger's syndrome. He was allowed to practice after the war and I think some few doctors in Germany at the time used the worst things humans have ever done, with no to find the best they could do to help the future because they knew the war was lost before it began.

"Humanity would invent a nuclear bomb for themselves, but a mouse would never make a mousetrap for themselves."

@@loddfafnir6111 Einstein only signed the letter, he wasn't telling Roosevelt to go and turn two cities into craters.
@@loddfafnir6111 Simple, Einstein back telling Roosevelt not necessarily because he wanted the weapons to exist, but because he knew that if Germany focused on such research they had the ability to produce a bomb in the near future. In fact, Germany Japan and several other nations all considered it. With hindsight we know they did not have critical capabilities, but no one knew until after the war if they would manage to pull it off. Had they invested as much as the US (or more) into nuclear technology, it is feasible that an Axis power could have made a weapon by war's end.
It was not a silver bullet, it was a desperate race to gain nuclear weapons before one of the axis did and used it. Japan just happened to never find the Uranium reserves near Manchuria, they did not believe they could complete a weapon within ten years. Germany invested into other research but did have test reactors in place. Remember that many of the physicists involved with this discussion had worked/ studied there before the war.

Remaining weapons of ww3 "Am I joke to you?"
@@Cacowninja he means superweapons would distroy the world
It's an interesting quote, but I don't think it's correct. There weren't any world war before advanced technology with guns, and big nations with hundreds of millions of people arose. There were nations that got far, such as the roman empire, but never on a world scale. if WW3 sets us all so far back in time in technology and humans lives, we would probably also go back to having wars on more limited scales up until guns and such have been invented again. Then another world war might happen once technology has yet again caught up.
And yes, this is of course disregarding what Fell man said, which is that any ww3 weapons would no longe be usable by then.
@@Devilsnightforlife Well yeah. That's like the only way Einstein's quote could have any legitimacy. But it still doesn't.
My theory is a lot more realistic. A lot of weapons made it from ww1 to ww2 for example like the lewis gun and mosin nagant after all.
So yeah anything that's not broken or beyond repair YOU USE.
I hope people don't have any more world wars let alone any wars though.
Economy will fall so no money for weapons.
Would that the world was filled entirely by people such as these good three.
That's the thing though. Nobody is born an angel or devil. Nazis used to be ordinary Germans when the Wiemar Republic fell. Average age of men that died was 23... most of them grew up in the failing economy post WWI... and were turned into sycophants by fascism...
I'm not excusing what the Nazis did, but I think, when we stop believing some people are more "good" than others, we can all realize we are all just humans trying their best in the political situation they were born. We should work to create peaceful policies, to prevent fascism from taking advantage of people's patriotism and rising again!

We live in a society
You mean you missed the good news about the 'long peace'? The top 44 economies in the world haven't fought each other in 70 years or so, which is the longest period of peace between "Great Powers" since the Roman Empire. You also missed the part that put WW2 in perspective : in terms of percentage of world population killed, WW 2 was far from the worst. Some ancient wars were far more deadly. And lastly, you missed the part where it was proven that the chance of a person dying in combat today is pretty much as low as its ever been in human history. So 3 pieces of good news. And all totally missed. But not by our humble and tough villagers. And no, 'any man's death' does not 'diminish' me. We all will die. Some die committing evil acts and hurting other men and innocent children or women. I dare say the world is a better place without the SS in it, as just one example. Is it sad the SS existed in the first place? Yes. But evil is the price one pays for Free Will assuming that exists.
@@remo27 A point about the percentage of population statistic, many of those older wars and conflicts happened over hundreds of years, while WW2 happened over 6. IIRC the figures they're citing are most likely the Mongol Conquests (which often include Tamerlane in their figuring) and the Three Kingdoms period of China. Both of these conflicts lasted over 100 years.
The 20th century was in every respect the worst one Humanity has on record in terms of deaths caused intentionally by humans, we just have to always study it, hope to learn from it, and not repeat it.
@@BeepDeige Most Mongol Conquests (military campaigns) happened over the period of a year or two, followed by periods of peace. The Mongol Empire was not one long war, so I'm afraid your argument falls apart on this point.
@@remo27 The numbers that I've seen citing the "Mongol Conquests" tend to lump about 200 years of conquests into a single figure. If you take any given war waged by the Mongols during their period of expansion then it is a far smaller figure than the death tolls connected to the World Wars.
I agree that the Mongol empire was more than just "one big war" but that's often how it's framed when the argument is made that other wars in history were "worse per capita" than 20th century wars.

@@arcticchain5264 Know that those Americans full of hate are a minority and most people that supported him were not fully understanding of what he was. Ignorance is to often to blame for people like him coming to power. Trump also did not win the 2016 election by popular vote, losing by 20 million. He won the presidency on the count of electoral votes and that is based on the states whose majority of votes he won and thereby claimed all the electoral votes of that state. (A odd system and one many Americans want changed.)
These nationalist and racist organizations you are hearing about are not the norm here and despite their large voice with Trump's support they are despised by most Americans and that includes most white Americans. It is the same as Muslims who have nothing to do with the jihadists killing innocents and terrorizing the world. That extremist vision is not shared by the majority of Muslims but it can be hard to separate them from the whole for people looking in from the outside. All we can do is educate each other on the truth and try to live in peace. Hopefully we get to that point before it goes the other direction and hate wins out.

Edit: When the bloke in the middle (Raeen) says "crore", it is a Indian unit of measurement (10,000,000 = crore).
Many volunteer Indian soldiers fought for the Japanese because the Japanese promised them independence from Britain. If I recall, Gandhi said he supported the British and that when India gained its independence, it should leave the British Empire on good terms.
@@jacklewis5452 ofcourse in a country of billion people not everyone had the same ideology. many did support japan because of their hate for British while others felt japanese would be more evil than British so they sided with the British during WW2.

@@jacklewis5452 no I'll tell you what happened, during the Burma campaign, when Japanese were marching from Singapore to Burma, there were many battles fought, Singapore had already fallen and Britain could have extracted Indian soldiers but they didn't they left Indian POWs in the hands of the Japanese to their own fate, so during this time our freedom struggle was going on and rashbihari Bose and subhas Chandra Bose our freedom fighters of India, organised an army called Indian national army with the Indian POWs in the hands of Japanese and Germany (Indian legion), this forced the British to get on the back foot they saw a mutiny within the British Indian army and they were afraid, the INA didn't fight much against the British during the war, but it ensured that all Indian POWs were safe as they now "sided" with the axis powers, smart move 😂, it Also sent a message to the British that it was time to leave India, as there were so many mutinies, and there were only 80,000 British in the Indian army by the end of 1945, in 1946 the Indian navy revolted, this was a nail in the coffin and Britain started packing it's bags and left India in 1947, mahatma Gandhi organised the civil independence movement, but the independence was largely because of the revolt of the armed forces which was the ideology of subhas Chandra Bose.

It was amazing to see people from a completely different culture and background have the same reaction to war that I had. The man who created that video also created a video about nuclear war if you all would be interested in sharing it with them, though it may be slightly more complex than this one. Thanks for the great content!
I am from Saint Petersburg (former Leningrad) and the stories of my babushka, who survived the WW2 and the siege of Leningrad as a child are horrifying. People had to eat glue and dead neighbors to survive. The city was bombed every single day. There were no people to bury the dead and they were just lying in the streets frozen solid. And it's just a tip of an iceberg.
Thank you for showing them this video!
omg, that's terrible, all because of one 'mans' vision...
@@58jennypenny yes, but then again, it does not even cover the atrocities of this war. If you really want to get the idea of what happened, I highly recommend watching a Russian movie "Come and see" (1985).
It's an amazing movie, but it is very hard to watch. It's a kind of movie that you need to see, but you would never watch again.
@@parapanofff I have read a book (from a russian, if i am correct) about the siege of leningrad, adding some story and characters. Its called "Stadt der Diebe" ("City of Thieves" - if u translate it directly from german, i only know the german title sadly.) U suffered extremely for sure.
@@robertbretschneider765 so cool that a Russian and a German can have a civil discussion in 21st century. Don't know the book you are mentioning, I will have to look it up.
Btw, I lived in Berlin for 7 months and I absolutely love the city and the country! Alles Gute!
@@parapanofff Yeah, i love this. Dir auch alles Gute! I wish u all the good things, god bless!
I’ve read so many books and seen so many documentaries l, but I can NEVER get used to these numbers. It breaks my heart and numbs my brain, to think how one human being can do this to another 😢
The horror of the world wars was truly staggering, seeing the horror and sadness in their faces learning about the cost of human lives reminds me of how my classmates and I looked when we learned about ww1 and ww2.
Please I ask you to show them the story of Desmond Dos, a US combat medic who survived the war without carrying a gun. He was a true man of god and I think they need to hear that story after learning of the losses.
I also suggest showing them the stories of the animals that fought in the world wars, my favorite being sergeant stubby of ww1.
I agree, desmond doss would be good. Or maybe they first react to a video on him and then the movie of him, "hacksaw ridge".
@@robertbretschneider765 Yes! Saw that movie a few months ago, it was brilliant.
I almost envy them for not knowing about WW2
Another great video. Let's hope this "long peace" continues for a very long time
Having no knowledge of history is a good way to repeat the mistakes of history.
My father never forgot ww2. He was a child and remembered German cruelty to all in Denmark
So was mine. He told me horror stories of what he was forced to witness at 4 years old. My grandfather was a policeman in Denmark. He refused to work for the Germans. And was thrown into a concentration camp for the whole war.
How he survived it, I can't imagine. But he made a book for us. Telling his story & all his drawings he made at camp to remember & show others what it looked like. He was in the Danish newspapers too. And kept the articles for us to read. Pure hell.
@@CybermonkProd I feel sorry for Grand father for what He had to go through. As a german citizen He has my sincere apologies and respect.
Thank you guys for showing your respect both of my grandfather's fought for us WWII was horrible but thank God good men stood strong .
and women doing their parts at home or abroad (nurses, help, etc.). My Mother worked in a WWW2 factory making needed goods. RIP to those who died.
I wanted to ask how one would be able to send a gift to any of the villagers. I know Raeen likes spicy food, as do I and I would like to order him a Tobasco Sauce gift set to share. Thank you for the info.

Habenero Tabasco is my all time favorite , absolutely best flavor .
@@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751 I like Louisiana Tabasco and get my cravings for it BUT my favorite Mexican hot sauce is Pico Pica. It has no vinegar
You can email them. Look under About on their channel.
Thank you, everyone. I should have looked there in the first place. I'm a knucklehead... BTW, I LOVE the jalapeno Tobasco sauce myself. Awesome flavor.
I watch the video they're watching every now and then. I have family that fought in Both World Ward. The loss, the Horror. I always cry watching that video.
“It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.”- Robert E. Lee
Babu is a very compassionate and humble man & It is great to see pure kindness and respect for all human life.
It's interesting to watch people who only know the basics of it explore this subject further. It is insane how many have died... nobody should go through the trauma of a war, yet we still choose to (at least our governments all across the world, regardless of which ruling party or person, so please don't start blaming whoever or whatever). All wars might have had winners, but all were a loss to humanity overall.
Such wise words and emotions. I hope there will be no exceptions to their disdain of war. Only defending oneself is acceptable reason to use force. " no one wins in war". I think this film should be shown in every school in the world. Let young people see h ow futile war is.
that was an amazing reaction, these guys are good people need more like them
All love and best wishes for you and your families from Florida USA! Take care my friends:)
Babu has the compassion we should all strive for. May the gods look out for him.
i feel russian is like that 1 guy that hold all enemy solo while his team farming
The USA was a morale booster,the Russia was a pro and the British(And France) were on the frontlines,truly an epic gamer group
I am rly happy that my suggestion from a vew videos back were heared. I rly like these 3 guys and if only a handful of people in the world would be as humble and friendly as these 3, the world would be a way better place.
Let us just hope such attrocities will never happen again.
ty for the video sending love and well wishes too all at the common man show
One cannot help himself but to love those guys. Especially Babu, with his compassion and wisdom. Thumbs up!
As a German, I see it as my responsibility that something like this must never happen again. It must never happen again and our country should stand for democracy and peace and convey this to other countries. Not as teachers, not as "liberators", but as ambassadors.
And if you do even your small part to be polite, to look beyond prejudices and to approach people, then a lot is already done. Because the truth is: we are all human beings. Blacks, whites, Europeans, Americans, Asians, Muslims, Jews, Christians - whatever. If we want to, we can understand each other. We don't always have to agree, but we can learn from each other.

I really appreciate that you said ambassadors. It eliminates the possibility of trying to forcefully change other parts of the world in some type of democracy crusade or using it as an excuse to attack other countries. Sadly the big democratic countries still do that.
Very good insight with the video into numbers. The number of dead even surprised me.
World War II was so tragic, many lives were lost :(

One of my grandfathers served in World War 2, after signing up at the age of 17. He went through Africa, Italy, France, all the way to Berlin, & was on a boat to the Pacific when it ended. The entire war. He was 19 when he was in the first boat of the second wave landing on Omaha Beach, the worst of Normandy. He was one of the first soldiers, with his unit, to come across Auschwitz-Birkenau. While he was in a hospital in Italy, most of the Company he started with were fighting the Battle of the Bulge. Of the Company he started with, he was the only one to come home. None of this was an accomplishment for his life, it was simply what he endured.
The summer before he passed away, he knew he didn't have much time left. Me & him used to talk about life, more than he did with my father, uncle, or anyone besides my grandmother. His life's accomplishments were coming home to marry the girl down the street he grew up with, & staying married for over 65 years, he met his first great grandson, all 6 grandchildren reach the age of 25. After learning metal work from his father-in-law, they made the first prosthetics for a doctor in Detroit, followed by a long career making molds for car parts, some of his were still in use 20 years after he retired. His gardens bloomed wonderful roses & lilies & tulips.
Your reactions to what happened back then were his reactions to it as well. He would have been very glad to meet you, & share in the beauty of the world we have today. On behalf of my grandfather, Harris Weston Rideoutt, I thank you gentlemen. May you live in such beautiful & wonderful days. May our history books continue to teach the next generation the horrors of war, so that one day none have to experience them.
My grandparents were in the war as civilians and I had cousins that fought as soldiers and died and some that survived. My grandparents survived or I would not be here... but still, sometimes you talked with them, even all these many years after... and they would have this look of horror in their face, and change argument, and try to talk about ANYTHING different from the war. They really did not want to remember that time.
As European, I say this from the bottom of my heart: NEVER AGAIN!!!
My dad spent his teenage years working in the factories in London during that war.
Salute to my Gramps and to all the greatest generation. They are a reminder to NOT DO THAT AGAIN!
May God Bless you & your friends Babu.
Keep teaching them & others so they can teach like you do Sir.
Good morning beautiful people
Omg these men have put a blessing in my heart. And tears in my eyes for joy that people all over have the same beliefs that all people on Earth should have. And that is peace and well being to all man woman and children alike. God bless us all
How surprised they are makes me realize that myself and other western and 1st world countries have become numb to death by war and show how dehumanized we've been. I'm glad to see things like this bc it breaks your reality and shows you actuality. I don't understand how anyone could kill someone else especially just by being different. Like why. What did those Jewish people do that was so bad. What did those people who didn't agree with you do that you had to kill them.
Idc how bad anyone has done something, or the wrongs they've done along the way I wouldn't wish someone to be gassed and emaciated to death the way Gods people were. The actual Gods people the humble servants. But even the corrupt ones I still have faith in change in them.
@@Rand0mPeon a few years of "wrongdoing" in Germany after WWI vs persecution for 2000 years. Yea not even close.
@@Rand0mPeonNothing. They just blamed a bad few Jews and blamed the rest of the population.
I truly admire Babu. He seems to be a man who has known great hardship and struggle in his long life. Yet, instead of letting these things make him hard and indifferent to the struggles and tragedies of people he has never met, it has made him into a very compassionate, sensitive man, who is devoted to his faith. We should all learn some things from him. I am very impressed by him. I pray the rest of his life is long, comfortable, and happy. He has earned it.
I have a story about my grandfather, who served in the US Navy in the Pacific during WWII. He would have been part of the invasion of Japan had the nuclear bombs not forced Japan's surrender.
Amazingly, his ship's crew took liberty in Nagasaki, after the city had been bombed.
He never talked about that very much.
While the use of the nuclear weapons was at best morally vague, the fact that Japan surrendered prior to the invasion means that I have two uncles, an aunt, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who might never have been born.
These 3 are so innocent & pure in the way they think.... it's so uplifting (apart from the lists of dead of course R.I.P, For all involved.....LEST WE FORGET!)
Soviet union. My home. Lost 35 million people including civilians. We had "Fatherless generation". I lost 3 of my grand grand fathers at this war.
These three were so amazingly human in their reactions, the sorrow on their face for the millions of deaths of innocence and soldiers alike. I forget how different it is for people who are unaware and aren't desensitized to the massive numbers of world War 2
There are more children are more children showing themselves worshipping different ways on TH-cam to please show that to them so I can see their reaction it would be a breath of fresh air
This is one of the few Channels I hit the like button before I see the video. Seeing these 3 is all I need to like the video.
Yes, what Babu said💜Never again🙏🏽
This video shows how much compassion these villagers have. They have earned my respect :)

Old man: "That's too much!"
YES please share more knowledge like this. I LOVE this content. I love watching Raeen shaking his head with so much interest about history and all kinds of knowledge. I hope I see him become someone in future who can change lives.
Now they need to react to Schindler’s List to really see what an atrocity it was.
or "Come and See" then - but it will be too powerful in shock terms.
That movie is not for the faint of heart, I remember when my dad seen it he had a difficult time with it being that he lived through that war.
I love you guys, much love from Georgia, US.
Yugoslavia
Yugoslavia, such wasted potential
REST IN PEACE. both of my greatgrandfathers fought in it, one is still alive and he is 97 turning 98 this year
Not sure why Captain America is in the Thumbnail, but regardless I am very glad you showed them this, the horrors of war must not be forgotten.
to be honest, this kind of irked me as well. it was a team effort, no need to elevate your own nation above the others. if there's anything we should have learned from that war, it's that treating your nation as exceptional compared to others is a terrible idea that leads to untold evils and peril.
@@kathorsees I can relate, albeit I don't blame them, neither can I when many of their ancestors fought in the WW2 but was never represented, only as casualties of UK, I would been deeply disappointed to hear/see that as an Indian knowing my grand father fought the nazis.
We'd never win this without U.S, but the U.S would never have won without the other nations fighting, if Germany had won EU, they would have assembled for US sooner or later.
The unknown soldiers of the unknown wars. God bless those soldiers. Always somewhere, someone will remember you.
I would love to see a video reacting to Indian history that the audience of this channel (myself included) likely doesn't know about.
How about you open a history book, then. This channel is about reactions, not history lessons.
@@alpha-alpha-alpha Says the simpleton commenting on a history reaction video...
I am pretty sure Babu will alot to say about his time as he was a boy in British raj
That blew me away about the Roman Empire!
I wish they had been told of all the brave Indian men who fought and died alongside us British. We are forever in their debt and we remember them. My Great Grandfather died fighting in Italy.
Yes, they should know their own countrymen fought on the allies side.
I have an interesting story about my family's role in WW2.
My family is originally from Bengal (India) on my mother's side of family, 36 members died of hunger because the British thought that Japan would eventually gain Bengal and so, they wanted the Japanese to inherit a desolate land. But fate had something else in store and the Japanese had reached the end of their supply lines in Burma, about a thousand kilometres away. Hence, the Japanese bombed Bengal and in those, 29 more members of my mom's family passed away. Only four survived, who fled to the neighbouring state of Odisha, where they miraculously survived, all thanks to the huge hearts of the native tribals. Odisha was then a land of mostly dense forests and hence, British presence was minimal, but the few that were there, lived at one with the many indigenous tribes and hence were much, much more compassionate than the ones in Bengal. A few months later, they setup my great grandfather with a job at a station house (administrative office of the British Raj) and even provided him with a two-month advance on salary, something that was totally unheard of at that time. In the span of a few weeks, my great grandfather saw the worst as well as the best of the British Raj. But all our stars go to thank the big-hearted tribals of Odisha, who are really simple people, who are the reason behind my existence.
On my dad's side of our family, my great-grandfather and one of his two brothers died at El-alamein. The other one was taken POW in Italy, but he escaped and lived off the land for two weeks, eventually finding his way to the Americans. He was put on a boat to be sent back, something about not trusting POWs, but he was adamant and thus, joined the British Indian army in Burma. He wasn't done with wars though, and after flushing out both Germans and Japanese troops in WW2, he immediately joined the Indian army in flushing out Pakistani troops from Kashmir in 1947. That war broke him as he had to fight his own brothers-in-arms. He eventually passed away of a heart attack and to this day, his only regret is not having any notable honours to pass on to his future generations.
Quite a mixed bag, my family.
