@@HamburgerTime209 I said it was hell for both sides, Nazi or not.

My grandma was besieged in Leningrad when she was 6. The ilnesses she developed as a consequence of severe malnutrition during that period haunt her to this day. But the memories are even worse. She suffered a coma and a clinic death immediately after she was taken out of that hell, when the siege was broken. Never the less, she stayed incredibly strong, raised my father, my brother and me, and still teaches me things. She became candidate master of sport and devoted her life to rebuilding the country after the war and making it great. She calculated land stability of many hydro-power stations and other strategically important buildings in USSR and abroad. Now I study in the city in which she once lived and suffered. Former Leningrad is now the most beautiful and advanced city in Russia, IMHO. Marks of the war and the siege are still left in some places in the city, to remind people of what has happened. Thank you for your appreciation of this horrible period of Soviet history and history of my country, despite the things that are going on right now. I'm going to go meet her after a walk in a few minutes.
I got a bit teary reading that. You're grandmother is an absolute legend. My grandfather suffered PTSD as a conscript, ripped from art school and in a war zone 6 or 8 weeks later. BLOODY NONE of his daughters appreciated OR COME CLOSE to understanding what he went thru. They went to private schools and then did nothing but complain about the man who gave them their privileged life, literally twisting stories and COMPLETELY forgetting some of the good things he done for them that ONLY my one uncle remembers. He told me more war stuff than he did them. But it was NASTY crap. He got medical discharge but those who went further in the same battalion saw bridges made of dead bodies. Basically if the Japanese couldn't get across a ravine, they threw their dead in their and created A PILE of bodies TO WALK OVER to get to the other side. This is what the other guys in the same battalion saw. My grandfather sometimes used to blame malaria delusions on what was most likely real memories that caused the PTSD.

It was that night that Yuri left us. His eyes glazed over the way they always did when the enemy came towards the line, but this time he was not here with us. He was back home with his wife, warm by the fire, as his arms waltzed to the inaudible music, humming along. His hands gliding the bolt back and forth into place. Again and again. No recoil either, just... flash, and sound. Nothing would shake him from the dance. That calm, peaceful, look on his face. You could almost see him holding the ghost of his wife in his arms, as he swayed. Spinning soft circles in the snow, and felled foe after foe. We left him ammo, and the rest of us fell back to the second line. His final performance. The shell landed at the end of the ethereal song. At least the Germans waited for Yuri to bow. I'm glad he got one last dance.
Tragic. Its like he prefers to be with his wife until the end rather than fighting in the war led by heartless politicians. The russian soldiers gave every chance for him to leave and fight for his country but he refused and danced till the end... While the grim reaper is watching and disappears as he dies.
From the diary of Tanya Savicheva, an 11-year-old girl who lived in besieged Leningrad: "December 28, 1941. Zhenya died at 12.00 in the morning of 1941." "Grandma died on January 25 at 3 o'clock in 1942." "Leka died on March 17 at 5 o'clock in the morning. 1942". "Uncle Vasya died on April 13 at 2 a.m. 1942". "Uncle Lesha (died) May 10 at 4 p.m. 1942". "Mom (died) - May 13 at 7:30 a.m. 1942". "The Savichevs died." "Everyone died." "There's only Tanya left."
@@hichopoch4960 it was the deadliest but far from the longest siege in history. There have been sieges that have lasted longer than the entirety of ww2 during antiquity and the middle ages
It hits really hard: you can hear cries of soldiers: "Mother, help me..." on russian as artillery shoots. It really hits so, so hard. I almost cried. Great work, as always.
The original title of the waltz was "The Mokshansky Regiment on the Hills of Manchuria" and referred to an incident during the Battle of Mukden, the disastrous final land battle of the Russo-Japanese War, when the Mokshansky Infantry Regiment was encircled by Japanese forces for 11 days, during which it sustained considerable casualties. Shatrov served in the regiment as bandmaster and composed the tune on returning from the war. While the regiment was stationed in Samara in 1906, he made the acquaintance of Oskar Knaube (1866-1920), a local music shop owner, who helped the composer to publish his work and later acquired ownership of it.
You left one important detail. For the final push commander ordered band and the colours to the front, to lead the breakthrough into Japanese-held lines. Charge succeeded, but almost all band members were killed.
My personal favorite thus far. “Gradually, like the emigration of an insidious, phantom population, Leningrad belonged more to the dead than to the living. The dead watched over streets and sat in snow-swamped buses. Whole apartment buildings were tenanted by them, where in broken rooms, dead families sat waiting at tables. Their dominion spread room by room, like lights going out in evening.” - M.T. Anderson
Awesome work as usual! Thank you really much for giving attention to such beautiful songs and such dramatic moments of Soviet history, that are unfortunately often forgotten in the West.
More Russian lore is what we need. And the footage of dancer in the background was amazing, and the planes. I’ve been watching since you made London Calling but it’s the Iranian siege and I’m honestly impressed by your videos. Keep it up, I look forward to every release.

Пусть погибли вы в боях с врагами, Подвиг ваш к борьбе нас зовёт! Кровью народной омытое знамя Мы понесём вперёд! Мы пойдём навстречу новой жизни, Сбросим бремя рабских оков!

Sometimes, music comes out on this channel -- it has languages that I don't know. But that doesn't stop me from getting goosebumps. But when a video with music comes out, the language of which I know and have the opportunity to speak freely - it's even scarier and more atmospheric.
And that's the cool thing about music a good song will always sound good no matter the language it is in, but the context of the song can change once you learn what the lyrics really mean.
My great grandfather fought with the German 18th Army and was a anti-aircraft gunner at Lake Ladoga. He was eventually pushed back with army group north ended up surrounded in Latvia in the Kurland Kessel and surrendered with the remaining men of army group kurland
Man, great work as usual your attention to tiny details like machinegun fire and a plane passing by really puts your videos at another level, keep it up man you truely are an inspiration.
I've Watched this video more times than i can count.....but each time I watch....the emotions remain the same.......Bless those Men & Women out east.....they did what they had to do......Love from USA🌹
Another great one, and while I'm here, I might as well submit mine: "Welcome to Jamrock" but you're in a shootout over a politics. The crisis in Jamaica during the Cold War brought us arguably one of the most influential artists of all time, and is an interesting look into how party systems turn brothers into enemies.
Such a great video. I was just listening normally in a car ride and I felt my throat clench up and I almost started crying. The music and sounds and my knowledge just hit me hard in thinking of everyone that died in the battle. Never quiet doing this man.
damn that hits so hard and even harder when you know your grandpa has lived through the war, injured and mentally traumatized. he died 2 years ago and i think he’s the true legend.
I always wonder why there isn't much out there that we can use to learn about the Eastern Front, but it might be for a good reason. Great work on this banger as usual btw!
Over The Hills (and far away) but you're apart of the 5th Foot making a desperate counterattack to retake the hill at A Coruna as the rest of the army embarks on transports.
Thank you for making this piece, for I had asked for this specific song early in the year, And though I hold no reservations you made this video because of that, I must thank you nonetheless, for it is a beautiful piece of music.
Shame almost every WW2 game never shows the Siege of Leningrad. The only one's I know of are IL-2 Sturmovik with Career Mode and Company of Heroes 2 that has a single mission about it.
Please do long tan, or gallipoli, with an Australian song like ‘A walk in the light green’ or ‘poor ned’ You can probably come up with something more creative but id love to see an aussie one of these
My grandmother's short story: "The most terrible thing was how people were buried. Many people died of starvation during the first and second winters, and exhausted people and families could not even bury them in any way. At first, dynamite was used to dig mass graves, but later it was used to mine all the key sites of the city in case the defense was broken through. So those who didn't have the strength to bury (from the author - that's most people) the dead, digging the frozen ground with a pick or a crowbar, then they just gave the stiffened bodies to the guard. He would throw a heavy bar in a blanket on top of the two or three meter piles of dead bodies leaning against the fence of the cemetery. Sometimes a truck would come for these bodies, taking them to a ravine on the outskirts of town, but for most of the time they remained there as a sign that you shouldn't stop on the cold street since you can die without even noticing it." Here is a little sketch of the horrors of our city at that time. 8/8 brothers of her died defending this city. But now it is one of the best ones in Europe. Make a trip here in the summer and you will never regret it happen
Once again another great video. Here's an idea for another: Bones in the ocean, but you're a sailor remembering the battle of Trafalgar. I know no British ships were lost but it would still be cool.
I don't know about you but there is something soul stirring and heartbreaking about Russian music from this Era. Maybe it's because we have some surface knowledge of what they went through, without knowing what they really went through.
Please do one for that phonk song "Close eyes - DVRST" with something like "but youre on the way home from a LA car meet". Theres the sound of wide tires driving over typical LA concrete patches with some occasional scratching sound from the underside of the car. Also sounds of other cars driving past with loud exhausts along with the sound of the loud exhaust from the car. Its such a vibe, I need this for my healing :D
I asked my grandpa if his brothers talked about their time in war, and he only told me “My brothers had been deployed in D-Day, after they came back they don’t talk about it” he told me and I soon begun to research it turns out they fought at Omaha beach, one of them died after they got back home another suffers from PTSD.
На сопках Маньчжурии В феврале 1905 года 214-й резервный Мокшанский пехотный полк в тяжелейших боях между Мукденом и Ляояном ( Мукденское сражение) попал в японское окружение и постоянно подвергался атакам противника. В критический момент, когда уже заканчивались боеприпасы, командир полка полковник Петр Побыванец отдал приказ: «Знамя и оркестр - вперёд!..» Капельмейстер Шатров вывел оркестр на бруствер окопов, отдал приказ играть боевой марш и повёл оркестр вперёд за знаменем полка. Воодушевлённые солдаты ринулись в штыковую атаку. В ходе боя полк под музыку оркестра непрерывно атаковал японцев и, в конце концов, прорвал окружение. В бою погиб командир полка, от 4000 личного состава полка осталось 700 человек, из оркестра в живых осталось только 7 музыкантов. За этот подвиг все музыканты оркестра были награждены Георгиевскими крестами, Илья Шатров - офицерским орденом Святого Станислава 3-й степени с мечами (второе подобное награждение капельмейстеров), а оркестр удостоен почётных серебряных труб Мукденское сражение)

Was it a siege?, I thought the Hitler plan was to starve them all out without ever invading the city.

Вечная память героям блокадного Ленинграда, города, в котором я родился и живу, вечная память
Sometimes, music comes out on this channel -- it has languages that I don't know. But that doesn't stop me from getting goosebumps. But when a video with music comes out, the language of which I know and have the opportunity to speak freely - it's even scarier and more atmospheric.
And that's the cool thing about music a good song will always sound good no matter the language it is in, but the context of the song can change once you learn what the lyrics really mean.
My great grandfather fought with the German 18th Army and was a anti-aircraft gunner at Lake Ladoga. He was eventually pushed back with army group north ended up surrounded in Latvia in the Kurland Kessel and surrendered with the remaining men of army group kurland
А он выжил?
You can be rest assured that he's in an even worse place now
@@S12342-i we all are assured that he was smarter than you
You just keep getting better with these. Thank you for the hard work, brother.
Man, great work as usual your attention to tiny details like machinegun fire and a plane passing by really puts your videos at another level, keep it up man you truely are an inspiration.
I know i promised a Merkava video but it'll have to be a Sho't Kal sorry (working on the video now, Yom Kippur war)
@@HistoryFeels don't worry it's all good, and I even think I can predict what song you will use :)
@@merkavamkivm3373 Probably haha, its the only Jewish tune I know!
@@HistoryFeels I'd say this one fits pretty well th-cam.com/video/Ygci5hRjmK8/w-d-xo.html
I felt the Coldness of Leningrad but also the heat of the War, This is a Wonderful Masterpiece!
Idk why but this brought me to tears, thank you for the amazing work you do for us. We apprieciate it so very much brother
I've Watched this video more times than i can count.....but each time I watch....the emotions remain the same.......Bless those Men & Women out east.....they did what they had to do......Love from USA🌹
Another great one, and while I'm here, I might as well submit mine: "Welcome to Jamrock" but you're in a shootout over a politics. The crisis in Jamaica during the Cold War brought us arguably one of the most influential artists of all time, and is an interesting look into how party systems turn brothers into enemies.
Such a great video. I was just listening normally in a car ride and I felt my throat clench up and I almost started crying. The music and sounds and my knowledge just hit me hard in thinking of everyone that died in the battle. Never quiet doing this man.
He just keeps improving upon perfection! Keep up the good work!!! 👍
damn that hits so hard and even harder when you know your grandpa has lived through the war, injured and mentally traumatized. he died 2 years ago and i think he’s the true legend.
I always wonder why there isn't much out there that we can use to learn about the Eastern Front, but it might be for a good reason.
Great work on this banger as usual btw!
God this is such a good song, and you make it ever better, props to you.
Over The Hills (and far away) but you're apart of the 5th Foot making a desperate counterattack to retake the hill at A Coruna as the rest of the army embarks on transports.
Now that's soldering... (or erm suggestering??)
@@residentelect based Sharp reference
Spainnish civil war?
One of the most terrifying fragments of human history... Respect from St P.
Thank you for all you do!! Only TH-camr who’s videos I actively have to like
You really do make some fine art, never kid yourself, this is amazing...
Thank you for making this piece, for I had asked for this specific song early in the year, And though I hold no reservations you made this video because of that, I must thank you nonetheless, for it is a beautiful piece of music.
Shame almost every WW2 game never shows the Siege of Leningrad. The only one's I know of are IL-2 Sturmovik with Career Mode and Company of Heroes 2 that has a single mission about it.
Nailed the voice lines and the background animations man keep it up 👍
Jeez man, that climatic ending gave me chills, just like your Kenny Loggins video. Well done again History Feels!
Editing just gets better and better
Please do long tan, or gallipoli, with an Australian song like ‘A walk in the light green’ or ‘poor ned’
You can probably come up with something more creative but id love to see an aussie one of these
My grandmother's short story: "The most terrible thing was how people were buried. Many people died of starvation during the first and second winters, and exhausted people and families could not even bury them in any way. At first, dynamite was used to dig mass graves, but later it was used to mine all the key sites of the city in case the defense was broken through. So those who didn't have the strength to bury (from the author - that's most people) the dead, digging the frozen ground with a pick or a crowbar, then they just gave the stiffened bodies to the guard. He would throw a heavy bar in a blanket on top of the two or three meter piles of dead bodies leaning against the fence of the cemetery. Sometimes a truck would come for these bodies, taking them to a ravine on the outskirts of town, but for most of the time they remained there as a sign that you shouldn't stop on the cold street since you can die without even noticing it."
Here is a little sketch of the horrors of our city at that time. 8/8 brothers of her died defending this city. But now it is one of the best ones in Europe. Make a trip here in the summer and you will never regret it happen
THIS IS THE BEST ONE YET
this channel is literally the reason i find these music i listen to while playing video games about ww2
That was much appreciated man, soul to soul i might say
Western front feels like a fantasy world compared to eastern front
The TH-cam gods have blessed me with your content.
Very nice very nice love it gives me the feeling like I'm in the middle of the siege in Leningrad
Very true
This is your best video yet! Keep up the incredible work!
That's my favorite video of yours
good job 👍
I put these videos on for background noise and get drawing into the visuals you've been doing. Love it
love the falling snow and fade in to the dancing
This video gave me goosebumps...
Hearts of Oak, but you're on the bridge of HMS Queen Mary as she's shot to sheds by the High Seas Fleet at Jutland
You deserve more attention for these videos my man
Once again another great video. Here's an idea for another: Bones in the ocean, but you're a sailor remembering the battle of Trafalgar.
I know no British ships were lost but it would still be cool.
Bruh the art is so smooth.
VetTv really has gotta pick you up to make music videos off of these videos cause the sounds paint such a picture. Honestly amazing work.
Man. You keep taking the editing to another level. Your work is amazing!
Amazing work sir you are great
I don't know about you but there is something soul stirring and heartbreaking about Russian music from this Era. Maybe it's because we have some surface knowledge of what they went through, without knowing what they really went through.
Please do one for that phonk song "Close eyes - DVRST" with something like "but youre on the way home from a LA car meet". Theres the sound of wide tires driving over typical LA concrete patches with some occasional scratching sound from the underside of the car. Also sounds of other cars driving past with loud exhausts along with the sound of the loud exhaust from the car. Its such a vibe, I need this for my healing :D
Great work as normal, really hits u hard.
Another amazing video from a full stadium of people's favorite youtuber historyfeels!
Oh god I waited so long for this one, thank you!
another amazing work from you! I love Russian history and culture and I love your channel cheers!
"Tabaco y Ron" but you're in the last holdout before the FARC-EP takes Mitú
Every time I want a good crying session mixed with goosebumps, I come to this video
I can just feel this man's coldness
My name is Commander Shepard and this is my favorite channel on TH-cam.
I asked my grandpa if his brothers talked about their time in war, and he only told me “My brothers had been deployed in D-Day, after they came back they don’t talk about it” he told me and I soon begun to research it turns out they fought at Omaha beach, one of them died after they got back home another suffers from PTSD.
What a unique channel thanks for posting this 😁
На сопках Маньчжурии В феврале 1905 года 214-й резервный Мокшанский пехотный полк в тяжелейших боях между Мукденом и Ляояном ( Мукденское сражение) попал в японское окружение и постоянно подвергался атакам противника. В критический момент, когда уже заканчивались боеприпасы, командир полка полковник Петр Побыванец отдал приказ: «Знамя и оркестр - вперёд!..» Капельмейстер Шатров вывел оркестр на бруствер окопов, отдал приказ играть боевой марш и повёл оркестр вперёд за знаменем полка. Воодушевлённые солдаты ринулись в штыковую атаку. В ходе боя полк под музыку оркестра непрерывно атаковал японцев и, в конце концов, прорвал окружение. В бою погиб командир полка, от 4000 личного состава полка осталось 700 человек, из оркестра в живых осталось только 7 музыкантов. За этот подвиг все музыканты оркестра были награждены Георгиевскими крестами, Илья Шатров - офицерским орденом Святого Станислава 3-й степени с мечами (второе подобное награждение капельмейстеров), а оркестр удостоен почётных серебряных труб Мукденское сражение)
You make videos for a very specific and worrying demographic, i'm in!
one of my favorite classical songs and i never knew it had lyrics?? thanks!
You should implement the fading videos, they add even more drama. I also didn't expect that ending... The quality of your content is increasing video after video! Keep it up!
'The British Grenadiers' but you're holding off the zulus at Rorke's Drift
Makes me remember of that Brestskaya Krepost movie. Love it.
Never heard of this song, it has awesome history
Great History 👍
Legendary content creator
Great work man! Your videos are truly history feelings. A suggestion: Enola gay, but you're about to throw little boy
Perfect study music. Thank you.
My grandfathers didn’t like to talk about war. Now I know why.
I remember this
bro i love your content
Perfectly perfectionly perfect
Over the hills and far away but your fighting off 3,000 zulus
Peculiar music choice for the location
"We'll Meet Again" by Vera Lynn but you're a British soldier storming the beaches of Normandy.
This one is for all the ones who died trying to defend their home from the people who wanted to exterminate them and everything they knew and held dear and sacred, they're all in a better place now.
thank you very much...
You're most welcome
“We’ll meet again” by Vera Lynn but your getting evacuated at dunkirk
More sci-fi and space stuff please? Loved the space oddity one
alot of effort put into this, Not as intense and stunning like your white rabbit video.
But the pleasant effects you put makes me want to watch it on rewind.
Keep with the good work.
You should do “dark night” by mark bernes with gun shots in the background next. Also, keep up the great work!
