It clearly shows the mindset of a common soldier .... They are also human being like us... They too have family , kids . Once they heard the msg that war has stopped they left everything and going to their motherland - What a vision and theme . Really appreciated the team members and crew ❤️
Fatherland *
The war is over, but the dying has not stopped. YOU got the word, others might not. Retain your arms until officially relieved of them.
As special the dying of serval thousends german prisoners at the Rhein Meadows Camps and Forced to work in Coalmines and Minecleaning all over europe under allied observationin post wartime.
Lots of emotion. Feelings of anger, releif and sadness. So much lost and for what cause.
well for the cause that the humiliation of the versaille "treaty" is gone. thank you allies
They were fighting the mortal Bolshevist enemy.
Adolf Hitler’s idiot ideology.
The cause was evil
For all replying yes I know there was a reason, I was just saying the war had the chance of never happening and all because one man Infuenced so many people to a blind cause.
A great sense of relief and sadness.
One of the few good short-films imo. A lot of these films get the atmosfere wrong, but I think this one nailed it.
Everytime I picture the end of World War 2, I start crying for some reason. As if I was there.
Maybe u were
A sweet and bitter moment! It must have been!
Do you mean "sweet"?
marcobagut yes thank you
Meine Leute. My people. These men went to what they thought was home, to find the whole neighborhood gone from bombing. War is tragic.
Good group of reenactors.
Only mistake I saw was the soldiers exsposing their white faces to the sky looking for the plane.
But otherwise I am sure that this was how it was for many german units in the end. Everything was just dropped and they headed for home, whereever that might be. Well done little video.

😉😎👍🙏
Read you 5x5 my friend.
Thank you for your service to the country.
On the contrary for the Imperial Japan, this is not a typical reaction. There was even a military attempt for coup to stop the surrender.
They also went on SEPPUKU ! .😡
Seppuku, sick and fanatical... Some traditions!
And so we had to drop: “The Bomb”
@@paulhudson4254 Japanese kids were ready to fight with sticks and suicide vests, every craftsman had to built muskets... so yeah either the bombs or battle on the mainland with an enemy who would rather die than surrender.
@@Piddel Uh muskets? In WW2?
I like the setup! You did a outstanding job!

The numerical advantage of the enemy was overwhelming! The performance of the German soldier on the battlefield was extraordinary! History and the enemy can attest to this.
“When this war is over we will be accused of an infinity of murder as if all men at war, everywhere hadn’t behaved the same way” The Forgotten Soldier (the book)
“The victor is the judge and jury and the vanquished is the accused”. H.G
It is a very complicated story - as one might imagine with so many people involved. There were horrific outrages beyond human understanding; there were moments of outstanding bravery; moments of cowardice and weakness and, at the heart, millions of men and women who were not at any of these extremes but gave their all believing in what their leaders told them. Surely, there lies a truth about war. It is generated by financiers and industrialists allying with corrupt politicians. The reaction is from those threatened and, in itself, is a mixture of good and evil.
There are numerous examples of soldiers of all nationalities committing atrocities (by which I include murdering surrendering soldiers or bombing civilian and not military targets). It is surely a gut-wrenching, totally disheartening reality of having to commit evil deeds to defeat a greater evil?
You are right.
“If we see that Germany is winning we should help Russia and if we see that Russia is winning we should help Germany that way they kill as many as possible” Harry Truman. (A Democratic regime)
@@reginaldmcnab3265 I am not aware of that quote but I think we should put some perspective on this. The USA and UK are not without blame but whatever that scale of blame, it pales into insignificance to the horrors that Stalin, Hitler and Tojo were responsible for. The true democratic countries were not whiter than white but can claim the moral high ground when compared to the (then) USSR, Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and its allies
@@martincox7354 says the victors. Explain to me how did the British got an empire, was it not by military aggression! And how did The US got nearly half of Mexico, was it not by military aggression, I could go on.
@@reginaldmcnab3265 unfortunately Mr McNab seems very set on a political, rather than historical, agenda. I did not mention the word victors at all - I was much more precise; the video and all the relevant comments were about the Second World War: I was not aware that the UK ever had an Emperor. The British Empire was certainly won using a good deal of military aggression; aggression that was line with, but arguably more successful than, the aggression shown by France, Portugal, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands in the building of their Empires.
I’m not going to continue with any sort of dialogue with Mr McNab. It seems to me he only wants to preach his politics - and I have no interest in assisting his propaganda
Finally they were relieved. Nobody likes war.
Strikingly good. This is how it’s done. Uniforms and equipment are 100% perfect for a Heer infantry unit from Summer of 1944 to Spring of 1945. Spot on.
my dads family was in the retreat zone in Hungary and also an abandoned Luftwaffe base nearby. Many people reused the uniforms and equipment. My father was wearing great coats and wool trousers and other stuff that was from the German army when he was growing up, they repurposed it and used the materials. The boots and shoes were also reused.
How old are you... just curiosity, dont want to offend you or anything

6 years of Heroic Fighting. 😢 And it was all for nothing.
Lucky guys to end the war

...... and so horribel the time and treatmend as ,, Disarmed Enemy Forces" without Geneva Convention Rights by the Allies in post war time.
Wow! Im impressed:)
😎😎
Sad in a way great film lad's 👍
Al menos no es un asco
Oh for the love of humanity 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️ We share a living planet. Peace is sooo much better 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Война это безумие!
Brilliant...it's how we felt when ordered to quit Belfast......
Very simple, and yet very nice little short film. :-)
Being together we grow more.....
I don't believe the soldiers would unload that much personal equipment,until they got to safe zone!
I agree, they’d probably have kept their pistol in case the surrender order on the radio was a trick.
Teamwork, that's what the military is.
After weeks of living and fighting in the woods none of them required a shave or clean clothes.
they had to shave every day, but yes the clothes were a bit fresh
long live our vaterland
Your Vaterland will remain occupied as long as people like you exist.
@Herbert Norkus I touched the right nerve there didn't I.
The war was over but now they had to fight harder to keep the peace.
I was read that some german solders keep fighting after signing the capitulation ❗🙂
You're right. There were some
so called werewolf units.
It was their job to continue the
war.
Yes, some did continue to fight after the formal declaration of surrender. Both SS and Wehrmacht.
Some did fight against the Russians then went west to surrender to the British or Americans.
@@DavBlc7 And after they were taken prisoner they were sent back to Soviets where they tried to escape
@@jameskirk9938 An uncle of mine did not have enough points to return at the end of WWII. He encountered Werewolf the following winter. They fired a few shots and then surrendered. No more ammo, food, or support from the civilian population they were forced to either starve or give up.
How many other times this happened we can only guess.
Such a atmosphere...context... what was in the mind and heart of those soldiers... appearantly Wermacht...not SS... ! The war is over... so... ?!?!
Note the word 'hopeless'... from the radio... the admiral Dönitz...
Auf sowas habe ich gewartet
Wow , great
😢😢
Bravo 👏
Thank god, this madness ended some day in past. Such great technology, sharp minds, strong arms worked day n night to kill each others. Animals must have laughed at us. Lets learn something from our past.
Animals be laughing till they in the slaughter house
Theres no god
Our highest state of love, peace n meditation is god. He is not something apart from you and me. It is the supreme state of our minds. My guru osho says so. Regards.
@@nathgraza9408 God is dead and it was through our own morality that we killed him. According to Nietzsche a German with antisemitic tendencies himself. I believe there have been times throughout history that the Almighty's existence seemed iffy at best. But to stake one's immortal soul on the notion the non-existence of God is certain is a weighty proposition my friend. We must never forget death will always have us longer than life does. My faith and hope are intertwined when it comes to anticipating a place to rest that is every bit as wonderful as the world could have been if we would have just loved each other!
無事に帰国出来て良かったですね
Josef Allerberger, one of the best Wehrmacht snipers, escaped throught the Slovakian forests near the border with Austria, he made it home after 2 weeks and didn't get cought by the Soviets, unlike Matthäus Hetzenauer which had to spend 5 years in a prison camp.
Some former german prisoners captured and stored at the Rhein Meadows camps still spend their lifes time sentence punishment. This folks never recovered from the treadment they was gone truth after the surrender.
Will we ever learn? As long as there is evil in this world, I don't think we can
They look a bit to clean for the end of the war ?
After the war end was announced was is customary for the German soldier to surrender to the allies or he could directly just go to his house/family
Dobrá robota :-)
Ďakujeme :)
Glad for these men they could go home
If I were one of them, I would not leave my war equipments as like gun, ammo or even first aids stuffs. The war had stopped but still we need tools for protection until I officially got surrender to enemy.
Grab yer paint ball gear there skippy,...no one really gives a shit what yer pathetic ass would do?.....now finish yer cigarette and crawl back under the cellar stairs like mommy told you,........
Навряд ли имущество сбрасывали . Каска всегда в ходу.
I love thise ....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
nicely done...
2:22. And there for.
The world found you back. To where your real home was.
On those who did not.
Make it
Home.
Well made
At least they survived.
Unless they went to surrender to the Russians where they were probably sentenced to 10 to 20 years hard labour in Siberia gulps and probably freeze to death there.
But if they surrendered to British or Americans, then at least they knew they were safe.
@@DavBlc7 yes i agree
@@DavBlc7 unless they were SS. If they were regular whermacht, they'd be treated nicely by american and british. But they didn't like SS.
When they realised all they had been fighting for was a lost cause.
Ein Opa hat Stalingrad überlebt, er wurde ausgeflogen, der andere hat es nicht geschafft, er ist irgendwo in der Ägäis, als Besatzungsmitglied eines UBoots mit untergegangen. Leider weiß ich, wir , bis heute nicht, die Nummer des Bootes.
Men understandably want to fight for their country. But they often fight for a regime instead.
Setting up a mortar in a forest...
They'd better have a clear field of fire.
Setting up a mortar in a forest, then abbondoning it. I dont get it.
@@franknezevic4385 1:45 They heard on their radio that the war was over - I don't speak German, but I'm guessing that's what they were hearing. They had no more use for their weapons, so why not just walk away from them?
Retaining their guns and ammo for self defence should have been a choice.

Then abbondoning it

Pensar que más de 800000, soldados alemanes, murieron en campos de prisioneros ingleses, en la Rin.
Proof?
Poor germans soldiers.
The lucky ones
Я тоже участвовал в этом войне . У меня нет много ордена и медали.
I hope they were not tossing around original WW2 issued German gears and equipments those are worth some real pretty penny
And here's another short WW2 film made by enthusiasts: th-cam.com/video/H5GRzsIp3lg/w-d-xo.html
i bet they have their portable toilet in that cart. they might be low on toilet paper
Tornate a casa, ragazzi.
They act as though it was over some time before.
The soldiers are way too well fed, for sure, even in the early days of the war the Germans were remarkably slender and well trained
A problem that many film makers have when recreating WW2. Likewise teeth are usually way too white and even to accurately represent teeth of the time.
I dont get it
So sad
Sad german 😭

Wahrheit.
O QUE OS ALEMÃES GANHARAM COM A GUERRA?
Кстати! ркка это НЕ армия, НЕ аналог БезПартийного Вермахта, а точно такие же карательные Охранные Партийные Отряды как формирования SS. Они и погоны не носили и военных званий у них от этого НЕ было - ГрупенФюрер это аналог БригадномуКомисару! но не генералу... Генерал = БЕСПАРТИЙНЫЙ, так во всех Приличных Странах...
Да и занимались SS и ркка одним и тем же - КАРАТЕЛЬНЫМИ АКЦИЯМИ ПРОТИВ СВОЕГО НАСЕЛЕНИЯ. Или Вермахт обстреливал деревни под Штутгартом или Ганновером хим. снарядами? как наши=вш ивые овноеды под Тамбовом? ;))
Генерал Вермахта стал бы сжигать в сараях жителей Кёнигсберга? а SS и ркка именно этим и занимались!

Oh those poor chaps. They felt that they could have carried on and were invincible. Why didn't they try harder earlier. This is click propaganda 75 years or so to late. Who are you making this rubbish for? Other boys who never grew up? I just watched footage of mobilised German units surrendering to the US. They still had armoured halftracks and much more weaponry than your battle reenactment hoby soldiers. The look on their faces was different. They were glad that it was all over. One has to be able to recognise when one is beaten and has faught for a lost cause. Do the same and stop pestering us with neo-propaganda like this garbage.
Its look like 2019
My cousin's grandfather fought in the Wehrmacht as a machine gunner from the first day of the invasion of Poland until the last day of the war in Bavaria. He told me as an elderly man in 1987 that when he received word that Germany surrendered, he shouted out with great elation "Gott sei Dank!" and simply couldn't believe that truly awful nightmare was finally over. Unfortunately for him he shared the same name as an SS war criminal, and it took three years in a British prison before he finally cleared his name.
Plot twist he actually was the SS war criminal!
My wife's Opa died in Stalingrad.
My son which hasn't been born yet fough in Stalingrad
He's lucky he survived and it wasn't a Russian pow camp. All in all it could've been worse.
@tom bronski
I don’t know much but if that’s true, all soldiers are war criminals.
I don’t think it’s fair to say someone is a war criminal simply for being on the German side of the war.
I live in a former retreat zone of the Wehrmacht. My grandma told me that while passing through the dropped everything. Woods scattered with equipment, ammo trucks etc... The old people told me that they've just pilled up the ammo on the fields as kids... Burning it for fun. Today you can still see shoes sticking out of the ground. I use K98k clips I found here for my Karabiner. So many untold stories.
Wo ist das?
@@rama7267 in polen ist das oft so.
That's interesting. I was wondering just how accurate or realistic this short movie was, and it seems pretty accurate indeed. Most of the old B&W movies (Pathe) that I watch have the soldiers in full kit & handing-in their rifles, ammo, pistols, etc.
@@BelloBudo007 In some parts of the area occupied by Germany, the German soldiers could not lay down their weapons. That would have been a death sentence. Then these soldiers would have been lynched by partisans, or released prisoners of war, or concentration camp inmates.
At the time, my grandfather's company fought in the heavy liberation struggles around Bautzen at the end of April 1945 and was stationed in the vicinity of Prague to scream. His company had not put down its rifle after the surrender for fear of retaliatory attacks by partisans.
As soon as his company was on German soil, they put down their weapons and marched west to meet the Americans.
@@RanzigeWurst Thanks mate. That is interesting and makes perfect sense.
Better keep your mess kits & canteens boys!
These guys look way too well fed for German soldiers at this point in time
Apart from the russian front the german
soldiers on the westfront where indeed
feed very well.
The supply lines where mostly intact
until the war ended.
Hardship and hunger began with the
collapse in march 1945 and ended
until 1948 with the german currency
reform.
You really expect people to starve themselves to near death for a fan film?
Ya those boy's look like they haven't missed any meals there pretty daam clean to
Exactly
I've seen video of German soldiers surrendering at the end of the war and none of them looked malnourished.
By this time a lot the German army consisted of young boys and old men. As I am aware.
I hope that they were on the Western front
I think it would have been snowy
Where are they supposed to be? Western Front, around Berlin, in the Bavarian redoubt? Austria? It's a very good film anyway.
Well of course Western Front
@@bartdr5146 There were also troops in Norway who didn't experience much fighting in the west and in the east they were opposed by the Finns.
@@jussim.konttinen4981 yes but it looks like it's somewhat warm there
@@bartdr5146 well of course there western front? How do you know that? It could've easily been Austria, Czechoslovakia or the Courland pocket.
@@tedmccarron because Germans would not be so happy to surrender to Soviets
i like the part when they just drop everything, that probably mean that they don't want to fight anymore
I bet they really didn't want to fight to begin with.
Well at this point if they continue to fight , they gonna die.
What a proud , brave and sad moment for these soldiers. Nicely done...
This soldiers must be in the western front
The End of Ww2

"wer die Bitterkeit der Niederlage nicht erlebt hat, der hat die süße des Sieges nicht getrunken"
wow rarely or never been seen on movie such emotional obedience to surrender.
And the people in the streets below, were dancing round and round -
and swords, and guns, and uniforms, were scattered on the ground.
