My grandfather was a Wehrmacht soldier. Prior to that he was in the Deutsche Jungvolk and Hiterjugend (Hitler Youth). So he was involved in the Nazi system, but never felt and identified as a Nazi. Until he passed away (it was last year, he turned 96!) I interviewed him many times about his experience in the Third Reich and the war. One thing he told me was: "When someone joined the SS, it meant there is something wrong with him. We knew that. These were people who felt as though life had shortchanged them."
There was an incident where an SS officer shot 2 German soldiers for "desertion" on the Eastern front, the reality was they were under severe combat fatigue and PTSD, SS officer was about to leave when he was asked to turn around only to receive full Walther P38 magazine into his body from the commanding officer of the two dead men, they absolutely despised SS.
From 1943 onwards people were conscripted into the SS. In April 1943 4500 men were transferred from the Luftwaffe into the LSSAH division and this was common throughout the war. During the retreat across France August 1944 the Der Fuhrer Regiment came across members of a Navy torpedo school who had no transport or weapons and had simply been abandoned. So Der Fuhrer picked them up stamped their pay books Waffen SS and these men spent the rest of the war as members of Der Fuhrer Rgt. Over 385,000 men were conscripted.
Das ist interessant. Ich war auch immer an den Erlebnissen meiner Großeltern interessiert. Sie sind dieses Jahr gestorben, waren genauso alt wie Dein Opa und sagten fast genau dasselbe über die SS Männer. Das seien "Hundertprozentige" gewesen. Junge Leute, die für Hitler in den Tod gehen wollten. Meine Großeltern sagten, diese Leute seien "nicht ganz richtig im Oberstübchen" gewesen.
Nearly 20 years back I spent over a year working in Germany. I became friendly with an Australian woman who was married to a German guy who was a member of the local police force. He had seven brothers and over time I enjoyed a few nights out in their company. I got to meet their father. An old guy then, perhaps early to mid eighties, but still very sprightly and as sharp as a tack. He served in the navy and told me many stories of his time at sea. He was a real character and saw the war years as an adventure, his main interests seem to have been women and drinking, a real cheeky young chap I imagined. He had no time for Hitler and he knew nothing about the slaughter of people in concentration camps. He knew about the propaganda of course but was of the belief these camps were work camps and nothing more. Whilst I am sure there was a percentage of the population that knew of the attrocities I believe that there were many that did not know, such as this old guy.
@@1955DodgersBrooklyn why do you think everyone knew? Although there were concentration camps in Germany where a lot of people died, mostly by neglect, the death camps were mostly in Poland, and German population had plenty of problems of their own at that time.
@@steveg2479So what they were in Poland? It's not like people in germany lived in a stone age that time. Many, many of them knew and many, many, many of them supported the famous painter in what he was doing. He came to the power for a reason and many germans or austrians knew what's gonna happen, so dont be silly and stop spreading that pathetic propaganda that no one knew because you only help them to rewrite the history.
As one woman said to me in 1989: "We were not shocked by dead bodies, we were bombed by the British regularly and had seen the dead many times - the shock was that it happened under our noses and we didn't know."
The difference is true, to join the military side of the SS you had to volunteer where as normal army was conscript and SS guys got better food and uniforms. You don’t see or hear of Hugo Boss outlets being boycotted for design and making SS uniforms though do you.
Lol what did you think they were going to say? Britain occupied Germany at this time, there was no way any German was going to tell the enemy the truth. You think any Brit would have reacted differently when asked about the Boer concentration camps or the multiple deliberately caused famines in India?

These men were literal Nazis, members and/or apologists for an organization founded on racial hatred and which committed genocide.

The area in australia where i used to live was mainly settled by germans.In the 1960s there was a german man who settled in the area after jumping ship in port. I dont know if the authorities ever knew about him but he had relatives here who had emigrated in the 1920s.He and a group of farmers were talking one night and i heard him say he was in the ss and was in a tank group . He said they knew what was happening to the jews in the camps but didn't think much about it. He also said it was a total waste of lives and resources and should never have happened.He said he met Hitler when he was decorated and didn't think much of him.He also said he met himmler at the same time and didn't think much of him either.
Am I the only one who thinks that maybe making your anti-Nazi protest march include trumpets and flaming torches may not exactly have the best optics...
The camps had Wooden doors ,pools & orchestras , sports teams for the prisoners typhoid, typhus & famine from allied bombing of supply routs killed most of the prisoners . Still Nothing as hideous as the Communist gulags ! That the majority of the public never hears about
A group of war heroes that wanted to save Europe from Bolshevism. Unfortunately the western allies especially England (Hitler always wanted either a neutral England or England as his ally) fought against us and called us the "bad guys" and "imperialists" while at the same time having fought the most wars in human history which gave them their giant colonial empires. When Germany rightfully took back its fromer territories in Poland, Germany was still a small nation in comparison to England and France who controlled ONE THIRD OF THE WHOLE WORLD. ALso, England invented concentration camps in South Africa to genocide boer civilians.
Half truths ,misreading, and outright untruth. Only one item in that farrago: look at all the positive statements about Bolshevism during the Nazi-Soviet pact.
Now their descendants are paying for what their ancestors did. England is islamic hellhole now. White population is being replaced and people are thrown into jail for opposing mass immigration
Lol germany did invade a little more than its former imperial lands (and even the former territories, e.g. poznan weren't "rightfully" theirs, the people there spoke polish instead of german) so your argument is invalid. Their whole invasion of the eastern europe was part of the lebensraum, nothing more than nazi wet dreams for their own benefit, not to "save europe from bolshevism", although they were also anti-communist most definitely. And yes, also the other imperialistic countries, including the UK, France and even Russia were also greedy and not saints by any means.
Those guys fought their asses off and gave all of course they deserve and should be able to meet and talk about their horrors they experienced they are veterans
"Liars, shamefaced liars. This state of denial would be laughable if it wasn't related to genocide" They were thousand times better and thousand times more decent than the Anglo-Saxons.

We were just your friendly SS soldiers, mostly did flower decorating in the summertime and made snow men in the winter, specialised in carrying groceries for old ladies and singing songs… They where willingly brainwashed to believe they where a master race of humans, this grotesque fantasy allowing them to commit the most cold and brutal crimes with no guilt even 20 years later. Only those 3 guys with the signs had reflected on their actions and had the balls and decency to admit publicly they had been in the wrong.
Almost 50% of the members of the Waffen-SS were german diaspora in eastern europe and other foreigners who were conscripted, claiming that somebody thought he was the "Master race" because he was conscripted by the people who occupied his country is ridicolous and shows a lack of education
ja ja spar es dir. die Alliierten haben jedes Friedensangebot abgelehnt und jede deutsche Stadt zerstört. Und jetzt werden täglich englische und französische Frauen von Arabern und Afrikanern vergewaltigt. Aber die "Guten" haben ja angeblich den Krieg gewonnen.
Just so you know, around 50% of the Waffen SS were people who werent from germany, mostly people of the german diaspora in eastern europe who numbered millions at the time, the reason they and hundreds of thousands of other Europeans joined almost always was that they were conscripted and had no part in running concentration camps but mostly were infantry, anit partisan and tank units at the front. Not a single death camp was located in germany, the death camps often were not run by these units either, especially in poland they relied on ukrainians and locals who were helping them
Its "Nationalsocialist" not "Nazi". "Nazi"is a propaganda Slur. Historian dont use it. The mebers of the Nationalsocialist Movement never called themself Nazis.
"A propaganda slur". I'm not sure that there is any term that could be used to describe National Socialists that would be derogatory enough. "Historians don't use it"-see Max Hastings "Armageddon", Lawrence Rees "The Dark Charisma of Adolf Hitler" and "The Holocaust", Richard Evans "The Coming of the Third Reich"
I applaud the working class anti-nazi protesters standing up to these ex-SS soldiers. Very well spoken and honest about how horrifying and inhumane the SS really were.
I was in Berlin only recently and conversing with a lady of about 40, quite the hippy type. Said her family had wanted her to be a judge. Anyhow, quite academically I asked her wby the germans had disliked the jews SO much, to such an an extreme extent. Her snswer struck me as unexpexted and puzzling. She said that it was because they were ' less intelligent but more exploitative' I have mused on this claim much since then.
A very stupid answer considering 25% of German MDs in the interwar were Jews, while total Jew population in all of Germany then was 1% and something similar is still true about Jews getting the Nobel Prize.

Perhaps many fighting men had heard of the Cencentration Camps & thought they were Labor Camps & not places of genocide , But I find it difficult to believe these same men when fighting at the Front were not aware of what the Einsatzgrupen were doing in the rear areas ,The Units would be on the heels of the fighting units & would go into the rear areas & kill thousands & thousands of People, Men,Women & Children without mercy . However on the other side of the coin (& two wrongs definately don't make a right) Stalin had millions killed either by starvation, Purges or in the Gulags but nobody seems to say much about that , I guess because he was on the side of the Allies & we won the War.

The mass murders were still present history and very fresh in memories. With all the secrecy around the the murders and camps there are bound to be survivors and family members who are very nervous that it could be repeated.
well you have to remember most in the waffen ss were soldiers first and foremost they were all volounteers and volounteered to fight not to stand guard somewhere they were all daredevils ´which also showed in their casualties being mroe than of the regular army however as they ofcourse were still part of the ss the parts of the ss that had to do with the exterminations obviously sometimes used the combat units to help roundup and shoot people first of all they could expect them to do it secondly the army usually didnt have the time energy or forces to it as their job was to fight a war i believe there were man waffen ss men that didnt know, as they more or less had the same day as a regular german soldier however the ones that worked in more beurocractic duties surely must have known by the way what im saying doesnt mean that the waffen ss men wouldnt have supported it, im sure many of them would have it jsut means out of a security and secrecy perspective only those that needed to know knew
The Waffen SS weren,t all volunteers. Over 385,000 men were conscripted or transferred from other branches of the armed services.\ From April 1943 replacements increasingly came from the Luftwaffe or Kriegsmarine, they had no choice. These men were exempted from the Nuremburg declaration.

He had seven brothers and over time I enjoyed a few nights out in their company. I got to meet their father. An old guy then, perhaps early to mid eighties, but still very sprightly and as sharp as a tack. He served in the navy and told me many stories of his time at sea. He was a real character and saw the war years as an adventure, his main interests seem to have been women and drinking, a real cheeky young chap I imagined. He had no time for Hitler and he knew nothing about the slaughter of people in concentration camps. He knew about the propaganda of course but was of the belief these camps were work camps and nothing more. Whilst I am sure there was a percentage of the population that knew of the attrocities I believe that there were many that did not know, such as this old guy.
I met an Australian woman who was married to a German man last summer lol
They all knew, my friend.
dont be so naive
@@1955DodgersBrooklyn why do you think everyone knew? Although there were concentration camps in Germany where a lot of people died, mostly by neglect, the death camps were mostly in Poland, and German population had plenty of problems of their own at that time.
@@steveg2479So what they were in Poland? It's not like people in germany lived in a stone age that time. Many, many of them knew and many, many, many of them supported the famous painter in what he was doing. He came to the power for a reason and many germans or austrians knew what's gonna happen, so dont be silly and stop spreading that pathetic propaganda that no one knew because you only help them to rewrite the history.
Worried about nazi but what about communist killing people, etc.
Whataboutism is pathetic
Do you go watch a video about the gulags and think "mmmh what about the nazis"?
The Axis would have set an end to communism...
So much worry and talk about how these men were going to have a violent coup and bring back nazi party yet they were just regular people
two wrongs don't make a right, buddy.
Typical whataboutism 🙄
So glad that now people are learning it wasn’t a “secret” it was a lie
As one woman said to me in 1989: "We were not shocked by dead bodies, we were bombed by the British regularly and had seen the dead many times - the shock was that it happened under our noses and we didn't know."
It was a complete secret, nobody would have known.
At best a psychological defense, or worst just a blatant lie. Most adults at the time knew.
@@jaeminko4286 You just made that statement up, regurgitating an old lie. Nobody in Germany knew.
@@GregorSass-Ranitz nobody knew because there was nothing to know.
A couple of generations of Z propaganda has become the truth of sheep.
The difference is true, to join the military side of the SS you had to volunteer where as normal army was conscript and SS guys got better food and uniforms. You don’t see or hear of Hugo Boss outlets being boycotted for design and making SS uniforms though do you.
Uber interesting, of course.
Lol what did you think they were going to say? Britain occupied Germany at this time, there was no way any German was going to tell the enemy the truth. You think any Brit would have reacted differently when asked about the Boer concentration camps or the multiple deliberately caused famines in India?

They spoke so well, perfect English even though it was their second language. The protest was very serious, morally right and conducted in such a way all reasonable people would take note. Modern protests could perhaps learn something? Although I’m sure modern protestors would argue that protesting in such a way as shown achieves nothing…
These men were literal Nazis, members and/or apologists for an organization founded on racial hatred and which committed genocide. They were aware of the importance of propoaganda, and therefore made an effort to appear as proper as possible, and speak as eruditely as possible, precisely in order to impress gullible people like you.
The problem is that complaining and protesting achieve nothing, because the powers that be are not listening.
Even their fiery anti nazi speech in German sounded…sort of….well you know….

I was in Germany on their underground I had bought a ticket but it had not been stamped correctly as I walked through the barrier
A female inspector was on the train She demanded my passport and when I refused to give it to her she called to have me arrested she was very aggressive Luckily some American tourists stepped in And stopped her` when she got off at the next stop I turned to the American tourist and asked why and they said she hasn't forgotten about the war You're British And they said that with a weary forbidding Look on my face
That incident took place in 2012 now I know how people must have felt in the 1930s it was a very uncomfortable experience for me And I'm Very confident
And against communist it was the same after 1989?
The area in australia where i used to live was mainly settled by germans.In the 1960s there was a german man who settled in the area after jumping ship in port. I dont know if the authorities ever knew about him but he had relatives here who had emigrated in the 1920s.He and a group of farmers were talking one night and i heard him say he was in the ss and was in a tank group . He said they knew what was happening to the jews in the camps but didn't think much about it. He also said it was a total waste of lives and resources and should never have happened.He said he met Hitler when he was decorated and didn't think much of him.He also said he met himmler at the same time and didn't think much of him either.

Very interesting!
A group of war heroes that wanted to save Europe from Bolshevism. Unfortunately the western allies especially England (Hitler always wanted either a neutral England or England as his ally) fought against us and called us the "bad guys" and "imperialists" while at the same time having fought the most wars in human history which gave them their giant colonial empires. When Germany rightfully took back its fromer territories in Poland, Germany was still a small nation in comparison to England and France who controlled ONE THIRD OF THE WHOLE WORLD. ALso, England invented concentration camps in South Africa to genocide boer civilians.
Truth, Brother.
Half truths ,misreading, and outright untruth.
Only one item in that farrago: look at all the positive statements about Bolshevism during the Nazi-Soviet pact.
Now their descendants are paying for what their ancestors did. England is islamic hellhole now. White population is being replaced and people are thrown into jail for opposing mass immigration
Six million murdered!
Lol germany did invade a little more than its former imperial lands (and even the former territories, e.g. poznan weren't "rightfully" theirs, the people there spoke polish instead of german) so your argument is invalid. Their whole invasion of the eastern europe was part of the lebensraum, nothing more than nazi wet dreams for their own benefit, not to "save europe from bolshevism", although they were also anti-communist most definitely. And yes, also the other imperialistic countries, including the UK, France and even Russia were also greedy and not saints by any means.

Almost 50% of the members of the Waffen-SS were german diaspora in eastern europe and other foreigners who were conscripted, claiming that somebody thought he was the "Master race" because he was conscripted by the people who occupied his country is ridicolous and shows a lack of education

Oh no! Both the Wehrmacht and the SchutzStaffel committed atrocities!
Just so you know, around 50% of the Waffen SS were people who werent from germany, mostly people of the german diaspora in eastern europe who numbered millions at the time, the reason they and hundreds of thousands of other Europeans joined almost always was that they were conscripted and had no part in running concentration camps but mostly were infantry, anit partisan and tank units at the front. Not a single death camp was located in germany, the death camps often were not run by these units either, especially in poland they relied on ukrainians and locals who were helping them
Dachau was in Germany
Dachau camp was the model for all camps You are talking out of your ass. Revisionist nonsense.
The death camp were run by so called Totenkopfverbänden of the SS, mostly Germans and Austrians with the help of Trawnikis
Most of them joined bc they hated communism and the Soviet Union just as much as Germany at the time.

Perhaps many fighting men had heard of the Cencentration Camps & thought they were Labor Camps & not places of genocide , But I find it difficult to believe these same men when fighting at the Front were not aware of what the Einsatzgrupen were doing in the rear areas ,The Units would be on the heels of the fighting units & would go into the rear areas & kill thousands & thousands of People, Men,Women & Children without mercy . However on the other side of the coin (& two wrongs definately don't make a right) Stalin had millions killed either by starvation, Purges or in the Gulags but nobody seems to say much about that , I guess because he was on the side of the Allies & we won the War. Politics & Religion are histories two biggests excuses or excuses for committing some terrible crimes.

The mass murders were still present history and very fresh in memories. With all the secrecy around the the murders and camps there are bound to be survivors and family members who are very nervous that it could be repeated.
well you have to remember most in the waffen ss were soldiers first and foremost
they were all volounteers and volounteered to fight not to stand guard somewhere
they were all daredevils ´which also showed in their casualties being mroe than of the regular army
however as they ofcourse were still part of the ss the parts of the ss that had to do with the exterminations obviously sometimes used the combat units to help roundup and shoot people
first of all they could expect them to do it
secondly the army usually didnt have the time energy or forces to it as their job was to fight a war
i believe there were man waffen ss men that didnt know, as they more or less had the same day as a regular german soldier
however the ones that worked in more beurocractic duties surely must have known
by the way what im saying doesnt mean that the waffen ss men wouldnt have supported it, im sure many of them would have
it jsut means out of a security and secrecy perspective only those that needed to know knew
The Waffen SS weren,t all volunteers.
