Thank you for giving your soldiers a voice..I am a former British Army soldier myself who's Grandfather told me on (his) capture by 90th Light at El Alemein was treated very well...to the point that inadvertently a German saved his life! Whilst a POW.. My best regards to you..having served myself at Sennelager, Shloss Neuhuas and Osnabruck
This is a great book. Amazing the cruelty of the Eastern Front. This guy was a one man Infantry platoon. Incredible what one determined skilled guy could do.
TY 🙏🙏. Millions of young men must have gone through the same horrifying process in in WW1 & WW2. You can see why most didn't talk about what they'd seen.
I read this book years ago. It was very engaging. I’m subscribed so I’ll be listening along. I do remember a brutal incident where Sepp was powerless to intervene in an ugly situation involving Russian soldiers and a woman. What a horrible scene
Happy to have you! I know exactly what situation you mean and I dread reading it again, but it's part of the tale so there is no avoiding it. Thank you for being here 😎
FINALLY a face to go along with the voice! I actually bought those same Camouflage, pants and jacket and the army navy store in Atlanta Georgia. They said they were of east Germany origin. I guess they weren’t lying. L O L you’re doing a remarkable job. I enjoy this so much.
One of the interviews with British sniper Craig Harrison who was in Iraq and Afghanistan really put into perspective on what shooting someone would do to the mind, he stated for a week after he was waiting for someone to come tell him he did a bad thing, an Austrian sniper from the first war stated you would pull the trigger many times with the thought of the target having a life and family coming too late, snipers have nerves of steel, couldn't imagine being in their boots.
As I now consider myself a seasoned prescriber, I would like to congratulate you and your channel. As horrific as war is , remembering it is not only our duty to the fallen , but to the damage it befalls unto the survivor's of war. Hearing their stories reminds all that war is not glorious, but a tragedy for mankind. Lest we forget.
first time i've found your channel. Great stuff. I own this book but haven't read it for years now. I must re-read at some point. Thank you for the interested content - new sub :)
So glad I found this channel you now have another subscriber from the US. I love listening to biographies of German and Japanese soldiers, that were the “enemy“ of the US. Most all of our Movies, books, documentaries, and whatever else come from the view of the US soldier. Listening to the recollections of the individual “enemie’s” point of view and being able to compare it with the individual, US soldiers point of view really shows near exact similarities. They were all dealing with cold, wet, hunger, thirst, fatigue, fear, trauma, loss, eventually hate and anger. During World War II most of the general, German army hated and disagreed with Hitler. And they Most all US and German soldiers just wanted to get home. I say most because I know there were bad, evil hearted, cruel men on all sides. Again, thank you for posting these. I appreciate it and I will be listening more.
I just started the videos intro and I think I've heard this story b4 on WW2 Talès,if it is, it's a amazing and captivating story,thank you for sharing it
That Cave Account was gruesome. Still, gotta admire the Commissar...he went to incredible lengths to follow orders. Reminds me of that Colonel Kurtz scene from _Apocalypse Now_ regarding the Vietcong response to American vaccination efforts; the SHEER _WILL_ OF THOSE MEN!!!
I am a proud owner of a G33/40 Czech made Mauser 98 carbine in 8x57. It is a great hunting rifle and very accurate. I would love to know its history. I would love to get my hands on a Mauser 98 sniper rifle but as the book suggests there was a very practical reason not many of these fell into allied hands
That is a beautiful gun indeed. You can build period-correct sniper variants but the original mounts and sights are quite rare. I have friend that is actually hunting with a full size Model 98 rifle and sight and he loves it!
@@TrenchDiaries yes they are an excellent rifle and action. In this modern age often overlooked. But in my personal experience there have only been two bolt actions that have never failed me. One is a Mauser 98 and the other a Tikka LSA 55.
Josef told in book that it was not healthy for sniper to get POW with sniper rifle. Probably it would ended as painfull death. He had planned that in danger to get caught, he would get rid of the rifle very quickly.
The most underrated and exceptional channels on blur out history tube. Mostly history is written by the victors and the good guys never get there storys told .
So the victors are always the bad guy's then? Here's a reality check for you, the uniform you wear as a soldier doesn't represent your buddies you serve with, it represents your nation and what it stands for, and the German uniform of WW2 represented what their nation was doing at the time, nothing else, not some nonsense ideal of honor German soldiers are supposedly genetically programed with according to this revisionist nonsense, it represented evil, period, and if you don't think it did go to Dachau, that was Germany's official way of dealing with anything they didn't like, including their own citizens and people who who born less fortunate than healthy normal people, their way was just to get rid of them because they were a strain on resources. I lived in Germany as an American in the 80's, nobody held anything over anyone's head about what happened 40 years before, nobody had to because the German people knew it was wrong and that was good enough for everyone, but I'm alarmed at what I'm seeing going on over there these days, and this revisionist narrative about the German soldier of WW2 supposedly being honorable is the keystone of the methods they're using to recruit young Germans into this new wave of radical extremism that's rising up over there, if the Germans who'd survived the war were still the dominate force in their society like they were when I was over there this wouldn't be happening, they knew if something looked like a duck, sounded like a duck and acted like a duck it was a duck, they'd have seen through this "The German soldier of WW2 was honorable like any other soldier" nonsense and they wouldn't have had any of it, they'd have put a stop to this nonsense real fast.
I recommend you also read :Red Sniper on the Eastern Front: The Memoirs of Joseph Pilyushin He was a married man from St;Petersberg before the war and served from 1941 to 1945. Fascinating and heart breaking book that would make a Great movie! The other great book I have read was Panzer Destroyer: Memoirs of a Red Army Tank Commander . Joined Soviet army right after war started and lived to Berlin. Another great one!
A new and unexpected story. I really don’t know how you juggle 3 stories at a time. I wonder, do you pre record? Or just go by ear? And why 3 stories? Why not one at a time? This must take up much time as you surely make a mistake and have to start again sometimes. Either way, I am enjoying your efforts. Keep it up.
Hey Barron! I try to keep it at two stories at a time, and since "The Yellow 2" is done I had a free spot to fill so here we go. I agree that three stories is too much :) And yes, I pre-record and try to have a "buffer" of about two weeks so I can go on vacation and stuff. It is a lot of work, yes, but it's well worth it 🫡
A rip roaring read...! Not in a fun way... Again, I'm looking forward to this, not with trepidation as the distance of time softens everything... I'm looking forward to learning more about how people deal with combat on a daily basis and having already heard what 'our side' thought about it I'm fascinated to hear what the enemy experienced and too, what brought them to think this was a good idea. That seemed to be explained very succinctly already in the book...perhaps as a cultural acceptance that this is how it should be. Just going with the flow. Reminds me of a series of novels of hardened German troops in Russia that I read a very long time ago.... Hardly believable then. Completely believable now. Thank you.
Enjoy! There are some things described in this book that almost defy belief, but did happen. The author himself is quite fatalistic, but others in his company...not so much.
my only feedback would be whether it might be possible to not have the music in the background? I know it's very quiet and subtle but it's still a bit distracting at times. Maybe it's just me..?
Where it not for WW1 i wouldn't be here because grandfather & grandmother came from opposing side in that conflict & only ever met because it took place which has lead me to a detached view.
Brilliant start but could you do us a favour and turn off the background music please. I don't think it is necessary to be honest and I keep thinking about the u boats with it.
I went back to try to see what you were talking about. The background sound track is not too loud and I could hardly notice it.. I think it is just fine.
THe video states at one point that its subject wished to remain anonyomous, but he later dropped that attempt ind he was identified as Josef 'Sepp' Allerberger.
G'day, Yay Team ! Aged 63, At 16 the Boarding-School appointed me to be the "Rifle Team Captain"... I started at age 6, With a 1903 BSA 0.177" calibre Air Rifle...; which my father's Uncle gifted to me in 1964, as a 3 year-old. As the Hollywood Movies put it, "Aim Small, Miss Small...!" My guess is that, having never ever shot at any Humans ; to always think of one's Target as being an Ink-blot on Paper - and then to "retreat" mentally into "merely" running up the Score. As Erich Maria Remarque remarked in the first chapter of "All Quiet On The Western Front..." "Do not blame us, we who fought the War - but look instead to our fathers, mother's, neighbours, Teachers, Newspaper Editors, Journalists, Clergy, and Designated Authorities whose Directions we all accepted without question..." Or, Words to that effect. Such is life, Have a good one. ;-p Ciao !
hi, you may get censored by the utube weenies you may need to post this content on umble I cant add the letter that comes after q because they are deleting my comments like this when I spell out the name
@@TrenchDiaries when I attempted to watch the documentary there was no audio I checked other posted clips on TH-cam and the audio was normal so I deduced that the audio was off or glitching some way solely on that specific clip It looked quite excellent visually I must state
A very big difference between a marksman operating from his/her own lines and a sneaky sniper operating guerilla style from behind the lines of advancing troops. Nothing to do with the nation of the marksman.
Thank you for showing the German soldier in a human and respectful manner, I'm an American of partial German heritage and I am sick and tired of having my heritage degraded and vilified
Commence the new book! Hope you like it, let me know in the comments below if you prefer the narration with or without the background music !
Great video, you have lovely & correct English 😊
Thanks for bringing us these stories, I look forward to hearing them, and I say just turn down the music a little bit

Cheers Brother! Thank you for being here and thank you for sharing some personal history. I bet your grandfathers stories were quite something!
Well said, Sir. Well said!
My pop was a major at el alamein 8th army, had some very close calls there, was he a desert rat too?
"I assure you it will get worse." OMG That will be hard to beat. Thanks for bringing this to us. I look forward to the next chapter.
Trust me, you've seen nothing yet - but the story is extremely gripping and interesting.
It gets a LOT worse I read the book years ago
This is a great book. Amazing the cruelty of the Eastern Front. This guy was a one man Infantry platoon. Incredible what one determined skilled guy could do.
I didn't expect a mind trip to the Eastern front today. Thank you for doing this!
You're welcome! We did not have a lot of infantry stories lately so I thought "why not?" 😎
I read his book. Very insightful.
I have a copy of this book, read it few times but still memories from WW2, this kind of memories can shake even a Mt Everest.
Absolutely. There are some gnarly things happening here...
TY 🙏🙏. Millions of young men must have gone through the same horrifying process in in WW1 & WW2. You can see why most didn't talk about what they'd seen.
Absolutely. And like I said...it will get worse and you can totally see why they kept quiet.
Thank you narrator.
I personally don't mind the background music, it's low enough in volume so that it adds some atmosphere. Now back to the story.
Thank you for the feedback my friend, enjoy the new series!
I read this book years ago. It was very engaging. I’m subscribed so I’ll be listening along. I do remember a brutal incident where Sepp was powerless to intervene in an ugly situation involving Russian soldiers and a woman. What a horrible scene
Happy to have you! I know exactly what situation you mean and I dread reading it again, but it's part of the tale so there is no avoiding it. Thank you for being here 😎
Grim and oddly interesting. First steps into a new book prove to be worth it. Thank you.
Enjoy, Charles! "Grim" will be a running theme here...
I had no problem hearing or understanding you with the intro background music. I' m comfortable with or without it.
Thank you for the feedback, James!
FINALLY a face to go along with the voice! I actually bought those same Camouflage, pants and jacket and the army navy store in Atlanta Georgia. They said they were of east Germany origin. I guess they weren’t lying. L O L you’re doing a remarkable job. I enjoy this so much.
Thank you so much. Keep it going and don't be discouraged. I know what happened as my Opa was also on the Eastern front.
You're welcome! I am very much _encouraged_ by the hugely positive comments, so there will be much more 🫡 did your Opa come back?

Yay Team !
Aged 63,
At 16 the Boarding-School appointed me to be the
"Rifle Team Captain"...
I started at age 6,
With a 1903 BSA 0.177" calibre Air Rifle...; which my father's Uncle gifted to me in 1964, as a 3 year-old.
As the Hollywood Movies put it,
"Aim Small,
Miss Small...!"
My guess is that, having never ever shot at any Humans ; to always think of one's Target as being an Ink-blot on Paper - and then to "retreat" mentally into "merely" running up the Score.
As Erich Maria Remarque remarked in the first chapter of
"All Quiet On The Western Front..."
"Do not blame us, we who fought the War - but look instead to our fathers, mother's, neighbours, Teachers, Newspaper Editors, Journalists, Clergy, and Designated Authorities whose Directions we all accepted without question..."
