This 45-minute DVD is divided into three parts. Part one is a narrated (in English) film produced by the South Vietnamese government documenting the battle to retake the city. Part two documents intense USMC fighting in and around Hue (no narration, music soundtrack). Part three is narrated and details the atrocities committed by the communists during their occupation of Hue. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
About the "terrible sacrafice" of the Soviet civs: read about the HUNGER (and cannibalism) in Leningrad (which was not evacuated), about the villages in rural Belarus (hundreds of "My Lais" by the SS & police to stamp out the NKVD's Soviet partisan movement - who also preyed on the villagers), about the cities where the frontline went through more than twice, and so on.
A sample of the reality of the Eastern Front, exactly 66 years ago:
In November 1943, when over 15,000 Karachai men fought at the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War, 70,000 old men, children and women were deported to Kazakhstan and Kirghizia. Most of the repressed persons, namely, over 43,000, including 22,000 children, died on the way and in places of resettlement from famine, cold and diseases. The exile continued for 14 years and was abolished only in 1957.
omfg i feel withyou i hope for you that he is still alive if not he will RIP but here you can see what war changes it changes whole lifes
People can kind of get disgruntled when they're sending their kids to die for something they don't believe in. It's one thing to condemn the U.S.'s involvement in Vietnam, it's another thing to mock the soldiers, most of whom were drafted and probably didn't want to be there. Most fought as best they could and did indeed kick ass.
A honest Russian soldier would rather honestly surrender or retreat (or just go home).
But he could not surrender because the SS would kill him (millions who did surrender then mostly died), and he could not retreat because the NKVD would kill as well.
So here you go.
I guess you're right... but try getting a Russian to acknowledge that today.
But the most important part of the defeat of Germany in the East was the almost incomprehensibly large sacrifice by the honest Russian soldier.
Of course, that is no defence for the Soviet leadership who were allies with the Nazis at first and later carved up Eastern Europe in virtually the same way Hitler tried to.
@mediaphotographer No shit...did you read my comment at all?
Oh-Kay...
That's a rather shocking oversimplification to dismiss the terrible sacrifice that Russia had to endure to play such a big role in defeating Nazi Germany.
USSR didn't just lose the most men, they also killed the most Nazis.
@Hperman09 yes
Yeah, and in 1967 the VC discovered hundreds of civilians killed by the US Army only in just day only at My Lai 4 halmet of Song My village (practically the entire population including babies and not a selective killings of the groups such as Southern soldiers and policemen (some "civilians"), government officials, the rich and such). High five!
@punipunipunisher very well, I'll accept that it was not just Russia but many different peoples of the Soviet Union who were instrumental in defeatig the Nazis.
NKVD were absolutely terrible, but their brutality was not inspired by petty racial hatred as with the SS/Gestapo but paranoia. The German figures for the numbers of defecting Soviet soldiers/citizens to the Third Reich were disturbingly high... ironically they were likely convinced to go turncoat by the brutal rule by NKVD in pre-war.
so what we still was in war
Uhh, it was a military victory for the U.S. North Vietnam and the Vietcong lost many more troops than us, what with the fact that we carpet bombed them. We kicked their asses. The only reason we pulled out was because public opinion was so against the war, coupled with the fact that it had been going on for a decade and an end was nowhere in sight.
Without the US aid the Red Army would just literally starve (no American canned ham and no American trucks to deliver it and other supplies - seriously, Soviet trucks were supper-shitty and in relatively low numbers, and now try to fight a mechanized world war with no trucks). That's besides all the planes, tanks, other vehicles, guns and ammunition.
@Airbornerock I did, just confirming.
First of all it was not "Russia", but the Soviet Union. And (say) Belarusians and Ukrainians suffered greater losses than Russians if you compare their respective populations.
Not to speak of (say) Chechens & Ingushes - but those were inflicted by the NKVD (maybe half of all Wainakhs exterminated).
And then I think the most "terrible sacrafice" was of the civilians, and then of the soldiers who surrendered (more than 5 million of them). Survivors were then repressed b the NKVD as "traitors".
Who are you even talking to?
I'm quite sure he meant they won it together. If Germany was not tied up fighting in North Africa and defending against a UK invasion then Germany might have had what to took to win in the East. Also, America could invade Europe from UK but not across the channel.
Britain played a key role in defeating Nazi Germany and country alone can say that they alone were the winner.
Team effort people. Is it that hard to understand.
mola
Rich Jews? You have no clue, most of the wealth in USA has always been in the hands of White Anglo Saxon Protestants.
American aid to USSR was substantial but not critical, shortened the war no doubt especially on the long slog from Kursk to Berlin.
But UK was incredibly dependant on US supplies and Naval protection.
@Airbornerock if you retreated in the Red Army, you were shot in the back.
nam? what's nam? nam mean the south, Vietnam is the Viet country in the south.
??
@TheAlexAppleton me
@punipunipunisher In the Red Army it takes more courage to retreat than to advance- Stalin.
marines kicking ass? you mean the us marines got their asses kicked out of vietnam? its a wonderful country btw that's been doing well in spite of the us marine's help in the past ; ) no offence given, and none taken i hope
@punipunipunisher Well as bad as the NKVD were it is a testament to the brutality of the Nazis that the SS and Gestapo were so much worse and even the most ardent anti-communists like Winston Churchill would support Stalin all the way to the end of the war.
mm russian soldiers killed surrendering germans too so HA
Another bullshit war where a lot of good me died for nothing.
