Growing up, after my father passed, the local minister came by the hospital to pray for me because I had been chewed up by a dog. This minister had fought in the Battle of the Bulge and then on to Berlin after that. He was Army airborne and when the war finally ended there were only a handful of his company left.
We became best friends until his death at the age of 88 years. An amazing good man and I was lucky to have him in my life.
What was his name?
@@anthonylabrecque3396 Search: Ralph Carleton, Reno Nevada his photo and obituary with his picture are there.
How could he fought in Berlin the Soviet Union fought in that battle
@geckogames3509 the op didn't necessarily say "fought at Berlin". The guy could have been part of the occupation force in West Berlin.
@@AirsoftEstacio You're right. There were no Americans in Berlin during WW2. I guess I should get my facts straigh, right?. Lol
Search: Where was the 101st during 'D' Day and beyond.
After the SS shot down fifty plus of the Big Red One who surrendered at the Bulge. Patton's men never let another SS live. My Dad's best childhood friend was the only man not hit. He carried out a couple guys, one lived besides him. Dad said when the 95th under Patton found out about that at METZ the SS all died. They let conscripts surrender but not the SS.
Yes the Germans would totally just have walked down the street and shot people. According to who? This veteran who wasn’t even there to see it?
Also didn’t Patton say “we defeated the wrong enemy” at the end of the war and then died shortly after 😂
@@FortniteBlaster2Give it up with your alternative history. These events did happen. Do a bit of research before breaking off. There's lots of interviews of survivors and footage of events that were taken immediately after the events and before any conspiracies could be implemented. I am blessed to have known many of these men while they were middle aged. If anything, Covid should have taught you how fast a fearful and angry mob turn authoritarian.
@@ickster23 I've studied the topic for the last 6 years, look at what you just said. You have no data, no evidence, no forensic evidence, but only eye witnesses which have countlessly been caught and called lying. Remember doll heads, remember the soap myths?
Rudolf Hoss was literally tortured and wrote about it in his memoirs, and lied openly about the death count at Nuremberg.
It is you, deluded, who does not know this subject beyond what you were told to believe.
@@ickster23it happened on both sides though and the Americans continued in Vietnam. By the way, isnt dropping 2 atomic bombs on women and children even worse?
To the Greatest Generation: thank you for your service!! RIP 😢
No such thing as the "Greatest generation". Tom Brokaw was full of it
My father was there
Don't forget it was also members of this generation that took us into war in the first place.
@@sammyhill69how did a bunch of high school kids and early 20somethings take us to war?
@@Brotherken1234...YES, there was. And it's apparent that YOU weren't part of it.
My dad fought in Battle of the Bulge. Stationed under Gen Patton’s Third US Army, Corp of Engineers. Was in Hamm, Lux, in Dec 1944, when after Xmas , he was in combat. Lost so many men. I saw the US WWII Memorial in Belgium, and Patton’s grave near Hamm, Lux. Dad met mom in Hamm; married 8/4/1945. He had come to America from Airoli, Switzerland, in 1938, few years before Pearl Harbor. He was in St Louis, MO. In the war, he attained rank of 2nd Lt and two medals: Bronze Star, Purple Heart. My hero.
My grand father was on the first wave of Omaha Beach. Faught all the way to Berlin.
*your daddy didn’t serve*
My grandfather didn’t storm the beaches at Normandy, but he was a pilot taking care of the men afterwards.
@@tclaw1406they all had a job to do, and did it with pride. Everyone that served in ww2 from combat vets, to guys that served behind a desk are all heros.
Thank you for sharing your story. I salute your father. He is a hero. I too had family who fought at the Bulge
A lot of tank crews lost their lives because of this because they wore black. SS members were shot on sight & some assumed any soldier wearing black were SS. A surrendering tank crew could get mowed down with Allied fire.
Reading some of the books written by members of the SS told a different story. Those members of the SS who were cowards and didn’t want to fight for their Country often volunteered for the Concentration camps and ended up committing atrocities against humanity. These SS soldiers soon ended up joining the French Forgein Legions and fighting in Vietnam prior to America Involvement
@@user-cg1ni7ub9i The bulk of SS troops were front line infantry/armor. The camps were a small percentage. They were fanatical fighters because surrender was not an option. The Soviets did not just kill them, they tortured them. At the very end of the war as the Allies met the Soviets on the line, some SS troops did successfully surrender to the Allies. There was more on the battlefield as a role for the SS than more popularly known concentration camps. They were all wanted for war crimes committed in battle by the Soviets. An ordinary Wehrmact tank crew likely had nothing to be ashamed of, but their black uniforms was a cause of confusion on the western front.
If they were Germans they all should been dispatched.
Didn’t the tank crews also have the Deaths Head on their unis like the SS did?
@@kenkleinsasser8165 yes they did.
Not the exact same insignia as the SS. But a skull ☠️ for sure
Thank you for your service young man!!😊
Don't make them like that anymore ❤
@@johnlennon6374 As a teacher. I can tell that they are still around. They just aren't noticed much. Sadly
Good for you to be so frank and honest.
Yes the Germans would totally just have walked down the street and shot people. According to who? This veteran who wasn’t even there to see it?
Still a war-crime...
People think the Germans were like the characters in Hogan's Heroes. Many don't understand how brutal the Japanese and the Germans were.
"The Germans" And apparently you don't understand the difference between the SS and the Wehrmacht!
You had to join the Wehrmacht whether you wanted to or not, you had to fight but to be part of the SS it was your choice. Actually its only a small group compared to the Wehrmacht, the elite unit if you want. And yes, those were the bad guys.
Wermacht trop did done massacre toward civil and some english compagnies in 1940 in Belgium because they were angry toward thé résistance tommies shown .they are BASTARDS as any germans troops ,no soldiers only hells !!!! This is thé gamous "deutsche kalitat "since frédéric from prussia!!!@@kcirtap00
I suspect most Germans was good people as they still are good people. They are our brothers and we should have been on their side.
Not really it’s the other way around. People think every single German service member were Nazis but what they don’t know is you had regular army and regular Navy that may or may not have been party members whereas the SS was a volunteer only force and that’s where brutality came from.
As for the Japanese, most of what they have been accused of is either blatant lies or gross exaggerations, and even comparing Japan to the Nazis is the most asinine thing ever the US government point was far more brutal than Japan was
There difference was superficial. Good Germans in Wehrmacht "followed the orders". Wehrmacht chief-in-command was the man with the mustache himself.
I attended a Catholic University and one of my professors was a priest who served with Patton's 3rd Army during the Battle of the Bulge (even got fined twice by "Old Blood and Guts" for not wearing a tie).
I got to know him quite well as my father was a highly-decorated WW2 Vet and my 6th grade teacher served with Darby's Rangers in WW2.
Father Stanley Kusman told me several of his experiences and said the SS soldiers were good soldiers, but they killed civilians and prisoners without hesitation.
The Malmedy Massacre is one of the many horrific atrocities committed by the SS.
Thank you for your service, Sir.
(salute)
Here in Canada we had some goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper move into our neighborhood and bought a farm, let's just say he never fit in or never had a very good time, he fucked around and found out he was hated
@@IanHotsonWouldn’t have lasted 2 days in England
@@tomben6180 I suggest looking up the SS soldiers who were intentionally brought to the UK post war. Dr. mark Felton has a good video on it
They had trust issues because of partisans.
Who are you kidding,wake up, heaps of SS soldiers ended up in England, and another thing is they all were not bad men, read a book and learn some facts before making statement like that.@@tomben6180
It’s important not to believe that it could never happen here.
Thank you for the liberation of my country ❤️
Germany has more problems now.
Thank you for your service.
My grandfather served in the battle of the bulge with the airborne units before he passed away in 2015 he told us exactly what he to do, this veteran absolutely accurate what the had to do with the SS
My Grandfather had a friend who was Captured by The 12th Armored SS HitlerJugend in Normandy outside of Caen. His friend was one of The Canadians who was Captured , Rounded up and shot by The 12th Armored SS HitlerJugend behind The Abbey of Ardenne.
Were the SS actually people or were they demons
@@palmergriffiths1952 So very sad. Such a waste of human life, all these wars. I suppose there will always be something to fight for-good or bad.
@@Nanadina51 The saying goes "War is Hell "
My grandfather fought at Caen with the Ox and Bucks Light Infantry, alongside the Canadians. When the SS HQ was overrun in Caen by Allied forces, its personnel were reportedly shot out of hand. The investigation as to who was responsible is, as they say, still ongoing.
@@palmergriffiths1952 war is hell, but the SS weren’t performing based on war, it was ideological hatred of minorities and other undesirables. They were a group that LOVED to kill, and would even kill their own guys. I think this comment is more in line with the regular German army guys, not the SS
I heard the same from both my grandfathers. Word was given " Shoot the SS" dont take them prisoners. Salute and respect to you Sir. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service, God bless you, sir
And then people object to us wearing poppies. Well, jog on. I'll wear my poppy with pride for all those who died for the freedom we enjoy today
What's with the poppies?
My Grandfather fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Unfortunately for me, he died Christmas morning 1969 of a heart attack he suffered as he slept,😢, 6 years before I was born. He was only 50 yrs old, tall & slim, became a mailman after retiring from the U.S. Army ( he joined in the 1930's & stayed in through the Korean War). My mom & aunt both tell me he had been complaining of some pain in his left arm for a while before he passed & had a scheduled doctor app the next week at the VA. I sure wish I had the chance to meet him & ask him about his service time & all the stuff he did & where he fought other than the Battle of the Bulge! Thank you Grandpa for your service & may you continue to rest in peace!🙏🇺🇸
I thank your grandfather also For making our country a free country and we do not have to speak German. Anybody that has pain in their left arm get to the emergency room ASAP and do not worry about insurance if you care about your life. Just a thought from my pea brain for today.😮
@@richardhowe5583 Thank You and yes, you are correct, left arm pain not involving trauma of some type is a known sign of a heart attack.
My grandpa was a Fallschirmjäger and he had the same view of the SS.
Did your grandpa wore an edelweiss in his lapel? I heard this was a tradition for the Fallschirmjäger.
Honestly wish I could hear more stories of the fallshirmjager going to to toe with the ss
@@rachfrikirihio470I heard that was just a rumor from BoB. There was another military unit in Germany at the time I believe where some did carry around the flower but they were a mountain unit
"Fallchirmjäger translates into Paratroopers. But these units only carried it as a name. They were mostly composed of airmen and sailors from the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine." -101st Airborne Museum, Bastogne
@@Kyle-zj6ljIt's the Gebirgsjäger
That's what my Uncle Ike said. Don't take any SS prisoners.
My great grandfather was a British soldier during ww2 he always said if we found ss we shot them on the spot no question you see as on the uniform they are dead
🇬🇧
My grandad said they did inspections when they captured german soldiers. The ss guys would try to blend in but had a tatoo inside their bicept and if he found one they would drag him out back and shoot him
@@Stale_Kracker Good man your grandad
Thank you for sharing your story, and your service sir, you are a brave man.❤
Bless this man ! So much respect! 🫡
Sir, Harry Miller, thank you for your ser vice. God bless you sir.
My great grandpa was an SS officer, he was a tough man. Fought through the whole war, was injured 3 times. When the war was over, he was still in a German holdout in Russia, fought his way back to his hometown alone still having his uniform and Luger, even killed two Russian soldiers after the war while sneaking home. He was never discovered, and showed me his equipment when I was a young boy before he passed. Years after he passed, we found his equipment chest hidden under floorboards in the attic when renovating.
Great story
There is a song about that equipment chest hidden in the attic from a german ss grandpa.
😮😮
@@MrSmoke-gb7tzWhy is it called the equipment chest? Were they the supplies needed to fight? I wonder why he hid it in that place?
@@jacquelinedavis6607 probably because of what the SS got up to. Not the sort of thing you’d openly display in your house since all nazi items were made and still are highly illegal in Germany and Austria.
My great grandfather fought in the Bulge in the 11th Armored Division but didn’t see past it as he was sent home with 2 Purple Hearts.
Thank you for Fighting for freedom and because you put your ass on the line when you were just a kid I got to grow up in a country and world that was much safer because of it I appreciate what you did more than words can say
God bless these men of the greatest generation.
My beautiful friend, Harold Filgo, flew many missions of fuel into this hell on earth and he was one incredible human. Rest with the lord, Harold. I still have your saddle and cherish it.

I have a friend who said his father in law’s uncle served in the SS after Hitler came to power. I asked him why, his response actually made sense. He said: “Before Hitler came to power, I had to worry about my family going to bed hungry. After Hitler came to power, I never had to worry about finances or food ever again.” He was wounded at the battle of Kursk and when he was sent back to Germany, his SS superiors told him he couldn’t fight anymore so he had the option of guarding a concentration camp. He immediately declined saying it wasn’t even a remote reason he joined the SS in the first place. Throughout the whole process of figuring out what he was good at and how he could help the war effort, they dug through some old files of his and found that he had done technical design work before the war and he was placed in the armored division of drawing up plans for new German heavy fighting vehicles.
Watching a WORK CAMP.
I remember an interview with a German historian and one of the things he laughed about was how every family has been told their SS uncle/father/grandfather was somehow one of the good guys. He talked about how he went to college to study history in the 70s and his lecturer on day 1 asked the entire class for a show of hands whose parents didn't know what was happening with the camps and the atrocities and whose families had nothing to do with the worst parts of WW2 Germany and all the hands went up. He then told them that all their parents were lying, everyone knew, everyone went along with it and that their parents had all been lying to them.
Do you really think that mid-war with a huge shortage of manpower any member of the German army, injured or not, was being given the option to turn down assignments?
@@JonnyDee-uh1eoif he would have spoken the truth his comment wouldn't have got posted
I have no doubt that this story is not true, there are just a few historical errors and untruths here: 1. Before Hitler came to power, there was no SS, only SA. 2. The SS are front-line formations and are needed at the front, the work in the camp is not their departments, but slightly different groups also under the name SS, but not the formations that are at the front, but the SS Polizei, this is a slightly different formation because it is from the order that is to be maintained by these very formations.
Thank you. Thank God for bringing you home.
What's dog got to do with anything?
Love you, brother and thank you
Love the way he says “mean bunch of bastards”
Mr.Miller is expressing the same opinions of The SS as My own Grandfather a World War II Veteran . I remember My Grandfather saying exactly what Mr.Miller said about The SS. Thank you for your Service Mr.Miller 🇺🇲 🙏 From Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you so very much for your service ❤❤❤
The word went on because of Malmedy which was perpetrated by the SS at the northern portion of the bulge near St Vith which was ultimately freed by the 82nd airborne.
❤ Thank you for your Service and for telling us about it, so we should never forget!!!❤
Thank you for your service, sir. God bless
An old friend of mine has an SS death's head ring from an officer his father killed in the war, as well as an SS dagger, though I don't know if it came from the same SS or not, as well as a long barrelled Luger from an artillery captain that killed his friend. The friend was obviously avenged. Amazing stories.
So my Grandad fought in the Pacific on a destroyer. Anyways and he had a friend who fought in the Marines that brought back a German Luger. Legit with the swastika on it. Cool holster attached. It’s awesome, gave it to my grandad! Trophy, never forget how tough these men were and the foes they faced! The courage it took!
My German grandfather has fought in WWII for the regular German army (Wehrmacht) by that time. He was is eastern europe and russia for nearly 5 years.
My grandmother always told me that he has worked as a truck driver. Which was true. But she never ever mentioned a very important detail.
My Grandfather has passed away in 1976 after he suffered from a heart attack.
After the war he started as a farmer and had a little restaurant with a small bar in there together with my grandmother.
My grandmother always stated that he drank a lot after the war til he died.
My grandmother died at the age of 92 in 2012.
3 years ago I drove to my parents place to spend family time over christmas.
We sat at dinner, a few friends came over and we had some drinks and we were chattening away about any kind of topics.
Then it came to my German grandfather. There is a Scottish one on the other side as well though.
My mother appeared ruminative and I asked her whats wrong.
She looked at me, had tears in her eyes, her voice cracked and she just said: Well he was a truck driver but he transported the Jews.
I nearly passed out. I was completely shocked about that fact.
She told me that this has been the reason why he drank so much and he felt guilty til he died.
He was a young man and he had no other choice than doing what he been told.
Nevertheless he felt horrible for it til his last day.
It is not my generation but I still feel sorry and we have the responsibility to make sure that this does never ever ever happen again
My paternal grandmother’s brother was a cook in Patton’s army. Not a combat role, but essential nonetheless.
The movie FURY (Brad Pitt, Shia LeBouf etc) was the first movie I’ve seen to really show how specifically cruel the SS really were, as my grandfather told me. No SS ever survived to be a prisoner in his unit either.
You should see some of the older movies or shows like "Rat Patrol" or "Combat".
@@Thane36425which movies do you recommend?
try Come and See
if you want a realistic ww2 movie, you dont watch fury. you watch come and see
@@JHimminy Especially Fury which belongs into the historically inspired fantasy genre 😂

We have lost this generation. A generation of Americans that lived a history that wasn’t just rhetoric. We can never forget what they fought for.
What did they fight for? A particular freedom or right?
And Peiper thought he could live amongst the French, 12 yrs. on, and no one would think twice. He got what was coming.
It's bewildering why he thought he could live safely in France afterwards
Dumb answer
I was next door neighbor to Grneral Pieper nephew here in Qld Australia Mac Pieper fought the Japs in i New Guinea i allso worked under Freddie Kiedel general kiedels nephew a real fine fella both he and Mac
My grandfather told me a story about his division taking a bunch of prisoners and the ss guys apparently had some tatoo and as they inspected them if they found one they took them out back and shot them
All SS had their blood type tattooed under their left arm I believe. So yes, they were easy to identify.
Fury with Brad Pitt served up that experience generously.
That movie is ridiculous. It's entertaining though.
@jacobthayer236 were you ever a ranker? how is it ridiculous? But in all fairness,that's par for the course coming out of hollyweird.
I was a tanker from 2003-2014 and I believe that's a pretty good depiction of what being a tanker is about. Dirty,over worked and under paid. Always needs a shave and a haircut,the smell of track grease and Jp-8 on everything. Arguments with your tank crew about the silliest stuff. I'd say fury was pretty damn close.
#tankersleadtheway
@@poonjab8078I think it’s fairly obvious he’s talking about the fact they stopped hundreds of Germans who had anti tank weapons with a single tank with no extra ammunition or support…You know the main point and sequence of the film? never seen a comment more idiotic
@@poonjab8078it's well known fury is Hollywood bs

They said they understood the Japanese were a barbarian culture …
But the Germans wanted to be considered civilized…..they said they weren’t !
And paid an awful price.
Well let me tell you the story of my Grandfather, a nice and humble man from Freiburg in Germany.
He had to go to Russia in 41 and on the first day he found his best friend hung up on a tree. Not on a rope but with his guts.
The SS Divisions knew getting killed in battle was the easy way out, they just wanted to take as much enemys as they can with them...."den Tod nehmen und den Tod geben"
Yeah, totally, gramps.
The winner writes the book.
the books the losers wrote werent any better. "im a genius, hitler lost us the war, i didnt know about the holocaust. please let me in NATO."

Hats off to WW2 veterans.
German tankers often got the short end of the stick, as their uniforms looked similar to the SS, so a lot of Americans would summarily execute tankers as well as SS.

This man is a testament to how men can be brave and self-sacrificing and still be naïvely idealistic about the nature of war and human tribal instinct. I bet he believes that Germany just woke up one day and decided to declare war on America, that Japan had no valid reason to strike Pearl Harbor, and that democracy works and his vote counts.
I commend his sacrifice but, I condemn his willful ignorance. FDR gave him a grand narrative and he swallowed it, hook, line, and sinker. He really thinks that history has "good guys" and that he was one of them because his politicians told him so while sending him and his brothers to perish fighting a war they exempted their own children from.
That Battle of the Bulge hat. Wow! True world hero, not just American. If you were involved in that arena of combat, you have seen the worst of war. Not just the heavy weaponry but the inhumanity.
We barely won that fight, although Naziism couldn't have survived the war much longer, for material and political reasons. But the Russians could have pushed much farther east.
After seeing the death camps i wouldn't have taken any German prisoners period!!!
“When this war is over we will be accused of an infinity of murder as if all men at war everywhere hadn’t behaved in the same way” The forgotten solder
havent heard about the american organized network of death and labor camps yet
You haven’t heard about them using weapons of mass destruction against civilians
They called their concentration camps inter-camps
And you haven’t heard about wide area bombing
And you haven’t heard of the book “Other Losses”
Vietnam 🇻🇳 agent orange carpet bombing…..
Canada: "you guys are taking prisoners?"
No way 1st ID surrendered. Proabably, to this day, at 1st ID are taught not to be taken to prisoners. We all had emergency GPS bouys too. In case we're taken captive.
My uncle was captured close to Bastogne put n a pow camp damn near beaten to death and almost starved to death
an interesting story how about Canadian soldiers looking after German soldiers who were a part of artillery they treated them well with plenty of food and water Then a truck came by to drop off some more German soldiers they were wearing an SS uniform the Canadian soldiers shut them on the spot. after the Canadians pointed to the dead SS soldiers and said to the German artillery unit and said swinehound
God bless you Sir.
My neighbor was a us gi hunting Nazi war criminals. He said 60% of the SS were not German, but rather international volunteers, including a few from allied nations.
