The thing history has forgotten, was that stalin was planning on attacking Germany, but hitler beat him to the punch. Another thing history forgot was that stalin also invaded Poland with hitler, but the British and france only declared war on Germany and ignored the russian invasion of Poland.
They also (soviets). attacked and annexed Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. If Germany had stayed at the 100,000 allowed by the treaty of Versailles I believe the Soviets would have grabbed all Europe or most of it.
Good point. I’ve also been baffled by this fact that Russia took the other half of Poland yet we only declared war on Germany and buddied up to Russia. Even if it was a choice of the enemy of our enemy is our friend it’s still an ignored fact in history.
They declared war because of the German invasion of Poland while Russia was getting their slice of it. Germany was the bigger problem at that time and Russia had a non aggression pact which didn't quite have them on a war footing. Great Britain and France had a mutual assistance pact with Poland, directly because of the German aggression in WW1. So naturally, that's who they declared war on.
I sit here in 24 below zero weather homeless watching these movies thinking about those poor bastards that froze to death and died on the Eastern front. The cold is an enemy you can't fight

Of course he was shot like a dog. He shouted “please don’t kill me, I am a communist and a worker myself, but in vain... They forced him to his knees and made a hole in his skull.
My husband served in Germany during 3 tours beginning in the mid 1970s. I had the opportunity to work and speak with many locals who either lived through the years, or fought for the "Fatherland ". One gentleman was "lucky enough " to survive his walk back from Russia. You had to consider both sides with an open mind. His story was heartbreaking as he talked about watching comrades and friends dying from cold and starvation and just the distance covered. He admitted Germany was at fault. Yet, still missed his friends. Wouldn't you think after so many deaths during the entirety of WW2, we as humans, would have learned something/anything? Now we have the rise of China looming ahead. Ukraine and Russia. People need to very seriously look at the World Economic Forum and its tentacles around the world. This is a very dire threat to human existence and freedoms. When you have leaders from countries all singing the praisesxof China and the World Economic Forum, it's time to STAND UP and PUSH BACK ASAP. Don't wait for the world to be turned into a police state, your freedoms and GOD given rights abolished before waking up. The same propaganda rulebook from the Nazis is being used against us now. Learn from history and push back NOW. From fear mongering about COVID to masks (which the Cochran Report proved masks don't work) to using climate change against us. STAND UP NOW.

Silly caption . Any German soldier who was killed in Russia between 1940 - 1944 was killed by a nation defending itself from foreign invasion . Self defense and murder are totally different .
It's crazy the things that we can rationalize in our mind when the shoe's on the other foot I think one of the biggest atrocities to fall on mankind in a long time is the mistranslation of the ten commandments where it says thou shalt not kill it's supposed to be translated to basically thou shalt not murder there's a big difference between the two one is somewhat justified the other is not a lot of people that fought that for years when they go to war taking out some not kill is what it meant self-murder when you're defending your country that's not murder
If you guys enjoy these diary videos of the eastern front, do yourself a favor and get the book or audible Blood Red Snow or The Forgottwn Soldier. Both books are from German soldiers on the eastern front from a very personal view and all the horrors that went with fighting on the eastern front during WW2! Really really good reads
You may be captured as a POW, then killed after, the charge against those carrying out that action would be murder. SS units did this in France in 1940 & 1944 & investigations took place. US soldiers stood trial for this in Sicily/Italy. It was probably far more common (on all sides) than reported.
A soldier can be murdered on the battlefield if she or he has duly surrendered to the enemy and laid down their arms but is then killed. Such a murder counts as a war crime.
@@KSudbury What is your opinion about saturation carpet bombing or terror bombings of enemy countries cities during a war from the Air ???, As far as I know millions of English, German, Russian and Japanese Civilians mostly innocent women and children ( because most young men were already drafted by the time of the terror bombings and are safe on frontline away from the large cities) who got nothing to do with the war were get killed during the second World war because of terror bombings from Air.
It’s clear how the weather and temperatures effects the soldiers because they all kept bringing it up, Freezing must have been a common occurrence in the German army Arms legs falling off must have been terrible way to die slowly
Based on the comments nobody said anything constructive about why the Germans lost the initial drive for Moscow. It seems the Germans had major supply problems right from the beginning. Bad leadership and planning to say the least!
Or that Russia had its coldest winter in 140 years.But I agree with you in a way.The leadership underestimated the will of the Russians and the time it would.take to defeat them.And the conduct of the occupation forces made enemies out people who could have.helped.them
the arrogant german leadership thought the russkies would be defeated before winter, so no winter clothing went to the front with the germans before winter.
You know the Germans shown with the MP44 @4:30 are period innaccurate. By the time the Germans got any of those it was 1944, they were already driven out from Russia and were now fighting in Poland or even Germany itself and Moscow was a faded memory.
The German Army never developed a four-wheel drive vehicle. They used horses like it was 1812 and there were going into Russian like Napoleon with horses (over 600,000 of them). You have to eat properly '"about
Apart from the Kübelwagen, the German Army also used various other four-wheeled vehicles, including trucks and armored cars, which often had four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive configurations to suit different operational needs. These vehicles were used for troop transport, logistics, reconnaissance, and other military tasks.
I've read hundreds of military history books and my favorite part of them is reading the diaries of the soldiers who fought in the battles if they in that book. It gives you a blow by blow of what is going through that soldiers mind.
it was captured on the battlefield. soviet soldiers often do this. because they don't understand german and they supposed that maybe here some important info in it
i am not sure of the relevance of this question to Napoleon except that he committed hundreds of thousands to his campaigns and when he had wasted them asked for more. Profligate wastage of human life for the glory of the Emperor. But Carpet bombing was developed in the late 1930s in recognition that bomb sights at the time were so inexact that bombs had a likely miss rate of 5 to 10 miles. This could be slightly improved by getting master bombers to lead the bomber stream to the target and by dropping bombs as a group in the general area of the master bomber. This meant hoping to hit the target by swamping the area with bombs. Bomb sights improved and accuracy meant carpet bombing was eventually phased out--but it was still being used by American B 52s in Vietnam. So poor technology gave rise to area bombing.
This is so sad. These poor young soldiers went through absolute hell, hungry, cold, tired and for fighting for what? Injured and dying in that aweful cold away from their families and having frost bite as well. My heart goes out to them and these poor young men must always be remembered. Not was hell on earth from them. Not being sent decent winter uniforms omg. Can’t imagine how they suffered believing that they were going to win. Hitlers biggest mistake by taking on Russia. May all these Souls RIP
There is nothing sad or poor about the invading Nazi hordes. They were heartless killers who committed unspeakable atrocities against innocent civilians. They deserved everything they got.
huge blunder by hitler to fight a war on two fronts against enemies with a much larger population and much more natural resources (america and russia). also, germany never had enough oil, they were always trying to fill the gap by using coal gasification. germany had some excellent weapons but they never had enough of them.
Wake up. They murdered twenty million unarmed russian civilians. They burned ten thousand towns and villages to the ground. Anything that they couldn't eat or use they killed. These are the people you have sympathy for?
What the hell is a ware marked? I think you mean Wehrmacht, the W is pronounced as a V. Veer mark ‘t’ and English towns such as Scarborough is pronounced as scar bura not burrow. Please try this. ❤
Why did you narrate that the German soldier was murdered? That was war, murder is the objective. Better to use a more realistic ters, killed in action. Right?
When he said, a Lt. died a heroic death, it told me a lot about how he had brought into the Naxi world..In all these diaries, the question of when they would be replaced and the continued destruction of their tanks and soldiers who were starved to death or frostbite took the limbs, but some of these German SS soldiers were hard core and stayed on after the soldiers moved on to hunt for Jews and other "non aryans "to put them to death...The average soldier in the Russian front just wanted to leave and go back to their country and families....All the time Hitler and Stalin were locked in a war of personalities and the soldiers, citizens, animals and everything else.
They didnt hunt Jews at the front, that was the task of the Einsatzgruppen far behind the front. The SS units were always at the front where needed like special forces between the regular troops.
All soldiers, regardless of which side they fight on, want the fighting to end so they can go home to their families. The common soldier, only leaves their loved ones on orders.

The world owes a debt to the soldiers of the Red Army. A debt that can never be repaid. Not taking ANYTHING away from ALL who fought the Nazis. But it was the Red Army who won the war in Europe. And they would have done it single-handedly if they had to.
The Red Army and the Soviet Union as a whole was a system and a nation which needed to be eradicated from the world. The Red Army has no glory, they started this war together with the Nazis and after partitioning eastern europe and enslaving the People in theire Zone they were draged into the conflict forcefully by the very same people with which they enslaved eastern europe. Also the Soviet Union would never win alone, let alone they were Not to attack the Nazis except they were wore down in a war against the West. The Communists would have taken no actions against the Nazis because they were opportunistic cowards like every Red before and after this War
Are you high? They were part of a combined ally effort. They were being supplied by America. Were such saviors when they invaded Finland and Poland? They would have been in the losing side had they not been betrayed by Germany in the first place. Stalin was worse than Hitler and has the body count to show for it. He threw his people in human waves and didn't care. They had guys standing behind them, ready to shoot them if they didn't go forward.
No I don’t think it would have been very easy for Russia to win but the Allie’s transportation equipment made it very easy for Russia to overtake the German army and put hugh blows on them
In German the letter W is pronounced like a V as in Vehrmacht. Everybody with even a rudimentary knowledge of WWII knows that except the robot in this tutorial.

@warheroesww2 A "diary" is the least likely item an officer in enemy territory would be keeping. His writings read like recollections, not a diary. And if it isn't a diary, why cal it one?
Any country that invades another deserves what it gets when it eventually loses. Then and now. Unfortunately it's the soldiers and civilians who pay the ultimate price and its rare for the invaders land and civilians to be ravaged in fair turn. If that were so, invasions would not be started so frequently.. then as well as today.
By that logic the Soviets got what they deserved as they had 1) agreed to Hitler's invasion of Poland and 2) invaded Finnland, the Baltics, and Poland. They also supported Hitler's invasion of France. The only thing they didn't appreciate was when they were suddenly on the receiving end. And "suddenly" is most likely not true as they had been very well informed well ahead of time.
@@warheroesww2 sadly no, only learned to speak serbian, hungarian and english as a romanian. Do you have other sources like the but from romanian, hungarian or serbian combatants?
At 2:33/1:41:40 the narrator says “we will rest until the offensive résumé’s”, but I think what he should be saying is “ we will rest until the offensive resumes (rēsumes)”. You should try editing this out because it sounds completely ridiculous. This is the danger of using digital voices for your narrations, they don’t always use the right word when reading aloud. The fact that you use a digital voice to avoid having to directly narrate combined with the fact that, at least the title is sympathetic towards the efforts of the German army in Russia during World War II and the fact that you call this, German officer, who you stay in the video doesn’t even mention civilians because they don’t exist to him, you call him “murdered” while being part of an invasion that was characterized by widespread German brutality makes me time to think this channel has fascist sentiments. This is an alarming trend.
Murdered?? What were you doing there in the first place? Invaders do get "murdered". People may be dumbed down a lot nowadays by liberalism, but they aren't that foolish to be taken in by such nonsensical statements.
Get real people. This is not a true story or a personal diary for that matter. It is an AI story which is factually inept and unlistenable due to the talking robot and the insidious and annoying background music. If only I had the option to block channels this would be high in the list. Total rubbish!

The Red Army and the Soviet Union as a whole was a system and a nation which needed to be eradicated from the world. The Red Army has no glory, they started this war together with the Nazis and after partitioning eastern europe and enslaving the People in theire Zone they were draged into the conflict forcefully by the very same people with which they enslaved eastern europe.
Also the Soviet Union would never win alone, let alone they were Not to attack the Nazis except they were wore down in a war against the West. The Communists would have taken no actions against the Nazis because they were opportunistic cowards like every Red before and after this War
Are you high? They were part of a combined ally effort. They were being supplied by America. Were such saviors when they invaded Finland and Poland? They would have been in the losing side had they not been betrayed by Germany in the first place. Stalin was worse than Hitler and has the body count to show for it. He threw his people in human waves and didn't care. They had guys standing behind them, ready to shoot them if they didn't go forward.
No I don’t think it would have been very easy for Russia to win but the Allie’s transportation equipment made it very easy for Russia to overtake the German army and put hugh blows on them
@@charleschauffe4350 You think that the Nazis winning would have been a better thing? I don't understand
In German the letter W is pronounced like a V as in Vehrmacht. Everybody with even a rudimentary knowledge of WWII knows that except the robot in this tutorial.
Interesting and informative . Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Special thanks to the veteran lieutenant officer. Sharing personal information/combat experiences. Making this documentary more authentic. Fighting/perishing/surviving knowing certain death/debilitating wounds were often times possible. Yet still advanced forward regardless of the consequences. True grit style determination to succeed. For a diabolical 😈/disillusioned/self serving/treacherous. WW-1 Corporal dis patch runner 🏃 along with disciples in Berlin. Who cared less about casualties/predicaments of their military personnel.
Caeser entered on his head, his helmet on his feet, his sandals in his hand, his trusty sword.
La-la-la-la-laa 🎵
Bla-bla-bla:)
I am skeptical of all these "diaries" of Germans in WW2. Not a single reference source listed.
Track his path and make conclusions…
@warheroesww2 A "diary" is the least likely item an officer in enemy territory would be keeping. His writings read like recollections, not a diary. And if it isn't a diary, why cal it one?
I would ask , what business you have there ?
What do you mean?
@@warheroesww2 what is he doing few miles to Moskow ?
Any country that invades another deserves what it gets when it eventually loses. Then and now. Unfortunately it's the soldiers and civilians who pay the ultimate price and its rare for the invaders land and civilians to be ravaged in fair turn. If that were so, invasions would not be started so frequently.. then as well as today.
By that logic the Soviets got what they deserved as they had 1) agreed to Hitler's invasion of Poland and 2) invaded Finnland, the Baltics, and Poland. They also supported Hitler's invasion of France. The only thing they didn't appreciate was when they were suddenly on the receiving end. And "suddenly" is most likely not true as they had been very well informed well ahead of time.
Anyone know what the music is in the background ?
Yeah it's called a music box
Wish the background music would go
the title should be changed....I was Murdered? we don't know how he die?
Probably he was killed
Murdered?
I didn't find anything about lieutenant Gerhard Link. Is this fiction? If not can someone give a source?
do you read Russian?
@@warheroesww2 sadly no, only learned to speak serbian, hungarian and english as a romanian. Do you have other sources like the but from romanian, hungarian or serbian combatants?
Might be a tall order to find the source Goodluck
That’s because he’s not real.
Murder is an unjust killing.
oh dear, you almost died!? does your diary explain why you were near moscow?
The AI has butchered pronunciations and sucked the life out of the reading. A terrible shame.
As soon as I heard the mispronunciation of Moscow I stopped watching
Murderer.. . ? What was you doing over there anyway...?
The repetitive background music is a horror to listen to.
i like it
At 2:33/1:41:40 the narrator says “we will rest until the offensive résumé’s”, but I think what he should be saying is “ we will rest until the offensive resumes (rēsumes)”. You should try editing this out because it sounds completely ridiculous. This is the danger of using digital voices for your narrations, they don’t always use the right word when reading aloud. The fact that you use a digital voice to avoid having to directly narrate combined with the fact that, at least the title is sympathetic towards the efforts of the German army in Russia during World War II and the fact that you call this, German officer, who you stay in the video doesn’t even mention civilians because they don’t exist to him, you call him “murdered” while being part of an invasion that was characterized by widespread German brutality makes me time to think this channel has fascist sentiments. This is an alarming trend.
la fecha de inicio y el tiempo mas los valientes rusos
WTF was he DOING there?!?
tourist
What a very silly title Probably American?
True, war can be seen as mass murder, yet, the killing of ennemy personel in time of war is not murder, so why the title?
"A fresh PERSON" ?!. How PC and historically inaccurate.
The background music is annoying. The reader is boring
cant get over monotone robotic intonation.
Germany overreached.
no one's got an idea this is written by AI wow
When hitler invaded Russia what did he expect did he really think he was fighting normal men no one can live in that cold and be normal 🤔
Killed not murdered example of murder is this video. Your Murdering with the word murder
Word butcher:)
Murdered?? What were you doing there in the first place? Invaders do get "murdered". People may be dumbed down a lot nowadays by liberalism, but they aren't that foolish to be taken in by such nonsensical statements.
SPOs...😉 Shooting Point Operators...😂
Get real people. This is not a true story or a personal diary for that matter.
It is an AI story which is factually inept and unlistenable due to the talking robot and the insidious and annoying background music.
If only I had the option to block channels this would be high in the list.
Total rubbish!
Хнык-хнык. Бедняжка эсэсман.
2:25
It sounds like a pubescent kid going to his first day in the 6th grade?
Poorly translated, this one. This is a Russian-made channel. American voice used to disguise that.
Propaganda 🤣
Am I the only one who can't stand the voiceover?
Horred voice had to turn off makes me cring
