GOD BLESS the WWII Veterans. And bless Rishi Sharma very much for the work. The veterans are strong for telling their story. That WWII war was an indescribable horror, it's like Satan looked right up from hell into Germany back then and said these are my folks, for the job. In studying history and wars, still nothing is like what happened in Germany, it was more than just physical, it was pure evil of heart. Sympathetically, hopefully the Veterans did manage to erase some of what they saw from their mind.
Hi Rishi, I am a disabled veteran and only have a limited income, if I was in a position to help you financially I would not hesitate to donate, unfortunately that is not the case right now but if my circumstances change then I would proudly donate and support you, until that time I just wanted you to know that I think your calling is one of the greatest I have ever heard about, I wish you all the success in completing your journey and dedication to preserving our history, and the stories that we ALL need to hear and give thanks to those who ensured our freedom and very existence.
Must be harder and harder to do as more and more of them are dissapearing every year due to old age. My grandfather participated in the DDAY landings with the British army but unfortunately never had the chance to meet him cause altough he survived the war he died in a traffic accident in the sixties.
What a clichéd comment. Every generation has whined about the current state of the country and the youth, even going back to ancient Greek writers. First World problems...that is all you have.
@@leod-sigefast I am already ashamed of the next generation. They don't even know what it's like to have to rewind video tapes before you return them to Blockbuster.
@@scotfarquharson6836how is that something to be ashamed of? Just because they don’t know about something that was unique to your generation? That’s like some old farmer from the early 1900s saying he’s ashamed of your generation because you never had to churn butter by hand. Times change. Blockbuster was only a short blip in history.
Thank you for your great service. I’m sorry you had to witness such acts of brutality and barbarism. The evil of the Nazis must be told and never forgotten.
My Dad is dead too. He taught me so much that I wouldn’t have learned without him. Our family has short men and Dad was no exception. At only 5’6 he fit perfectly in the seat for a bombardier. If you get a chance to see this airplane as they tour the US look at the device he would have used to calculate when to drop the bombs. He was a member of the US Army Air Force Flying Tigers. Their home base was in Kunming China which was lacking many supplies. It was a frequent assignment to fly over to Kolkata India to get enough fuel for the squadrons next mission. They also bought all of their food and other supplies in India. To fly over “The Hump” was quite dangerous. This was flying over some of the highest mountains on earth and crashes did happen. Dad sat in an exposed part of the plane, a clear dome that was vulnerable to enemy fire. One of the missions he was most proud of was eliminating a dam without killing all of the villagers. He was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses during his time fighting the Japanese. Truly an amazing example of the greatest generation.
Thanks, your dad. My Grand -family ✡️ did not make it but many did, thanks to people such as your dad, and people of other Faiths who stood in solidarity with us. GEGEN NAZI! ( German for against Nazi). Never again
Both my grandfathers were in ww2, one lost his leg in an ambush, machine gun basically sawed it off. My father served in air force, and I remember as a kid going to plane shows and being allowed to climb in those ball turrets, can't believe how cramped they were. And knowing they were a favorite target for enemy aircraft, can't imagine being the guy in there. They truly are heros. My grandfather that lost his leg had the worst nightmares for the rest of his life, would wake the entire house with chilling screams. Yet, it didn't hold him back. He came home and ran his farm, had 8 children, had a successful career as a prison guard, and joined a group of 3 other veterans that lost their leg that learned to fly, all four got their pilot license and held various jobs as pilots. We owe so much to them.
Good Lord , the things this gentleman has seen . The worst things people have ever done to other human beings . He captured an utterly horrific part of history . Thank you for documenting and keeping actual proof of what went on. God bless you sir
The medical industry jumped leaps and bounds because of all the atrocities. While dad. We have to be thankful up until the 1980s anyway. Then it’s just treatments. No cures…no money in that
Unfortunately, these are not the worst things humans have done or are doing. Soviet Russia, Maoist China, Japanese atrocities during WWII, child slavery today, it goes on and on. Be thankful if you have not had to face the true nature of fallen men.
He didn't see ANYTHING. Where are the photos of these "atrocities" he's claiming? Women having their babies cut out. Packs of dogs being sicked upon tied up individuals. Total BS. Show me the pictures this sh*t. There are none. He's a f'n liar.
He has no proof of anything. Women strung from wire and their babies cut out? Men suspended in garage bays and packs of dogs sicked on them to eat them alive? Give me an f'n break. NEVER happened. He has no photos of such things. NONE. What he has is a photo of empty garage stalls and a fake story. Let's see these photos of cut-up pregnant women and men torn apart by dogs. They do not exist. He's a liar and a fraud.
In my opinion the Rape of Nanking is literally the worst fucking war crime ever committed in the 20th century. Also The nazi concentration camps torture and death camps. Mass Genocide never seen on that scale in the 20th century so many fucking attrocities comitted by the japanese in ww2 man they were fucking cruel. They Raped so many Young Girls,, women , men children or elderly babies Cut babies heads off Bayonet civilians, I believe we as humans are capable of being sadisticly evil to our fellow humans but also been fucking beautifuly uplifting loyal and loving to our fellow man,woman,dog,cat,family Just amazing things people do.Heroes giving their life as the ultimate sign of love. Thats the duality of man and woman. I think we are beautiful and bittersweet all in one. Praise allah Love to everyone 🖤💛❤️🙏🏽
My dad is dead but he was a machine gunest. He was German american but has shot down a couple of Nazi planes. He used to tell me when I was a teenager that you never shoot directly at the plane you fire a head our you would never hit it. You fire the machine gun ahead of you plane and slowly bring it back into the plane. He knew what he was doing because he survived and became the best father. If I had another go around in life I would pick him over and over again. Rest in peace daddy I love you. 😢
I was going through my great grandfathers things when I was kid, came across a small tin box full of photos from his time in WW2, absolutely gruesome stuff I didn’t intend to see. I had a hard time as a kid trying to understand how he could just take pictures of such horrors but now I know it was important for ppl back home to see what happened. He was only 16 when my alcoholic grandmother signed him over to the army. I can’t imagine being that young & seeing what he & all those good men saw.
We just came across my father in laws packs of pictures from his time at Nuremberg as they processed German atrocity photos. He never allowed us to see them for how gruesome they were.
Alot of the time, at least with the germans, the mail was monitored and censored, they werent allowed to send atrocity pics back, alot of them wouldve been confiscated before the letter was recieved
My grandfather died before I was born, so I never got to hear about his time in the war. However, I know he was a medic in the unit that liberated Dachau. When my grandmother died ten years back, we found a similar stack of photos. Piles of emaciated bodies everywhere. My dad gave them to the holocaust museum.
Everyone knows about the Nazis. It's repeated over & over! What people (especially Americans) need to learn about is what the Communists did to Europe prior to the rise of the Nazis!! Research "Red Terror"!
My ex wifes grand dad was a photographer with army. Second wave of liberation of one of the camps. His photo books made the history books look like saturday morning cartoons. War is hell.
Huge respect is due to to the Christians ✝️+ who perished alongside us in the camps because they stood in solidarity with Jews, disabled, Roma, all those who the Nazi tried to exterminate. My grand-family died + I sometimes wonder if they were helped in some way by a brave German of a different Faith .✡️✝️stand together. Thankyou to all who helped liberate the camps . Never again. Gegen Nazi! German for against Nazi
Everything he said is BS. Ask him to show you pictures of these actual "atrocities". He has none. Just pictures of empty rooms with nothing. Total liar. Hopefully he'll burn in hell.
Salute to you soldier, thank you for not only your service but sharing. It's very hard for some to share my girlfriends father was green beret in Vietnam. Was gutted by a helicopter blade and has scars to show it. I always admired and respected him he went through all this and still kept going, still kept fighting and came home alive. He was almost 7 foot tall so yeah a very imposing strong man. And a full gun cabinet.
Much respect to this man and all the journalists/photographers who captured the horrors of the war for the world to see. It boggles my mind that anyone would deny all the evidence for these atrocities. It is an insult to men like this courageous hero who endured so much to document what he saw. I honor all of our veterans, especially those of the Greatest Generation. I am a WWII history buff and write historical fiction, so these testimonies are invaluable to my work. These heroes will not be forgotten if I can help it.
@@davidfoss4836 That is an insult to thousands of servicemen who saw the same thing, recorded it, and retell it. Not to mention the people who were actual victims.
Now it is somehow fashionable to be anti Semitic and pro terrorist for college kids these days; it is happening again. And these skulls full of mush vote socialist, too which is what the s or z in Nazi stands for, you can’t do such things without mad unchecked power and socialism never fails to provide what is needed for genocide, and it’s never clean it’s always unbelievably cruel and miserably executed. It’s happening again.
😂that's a completely ludicrous parallel >>>NÈVER forget to whom we owe our liberation in Europe. "WENN ICH GEWUSST HÄTTE DAS DIE RUSSEN 30.000 PANZER PRO JAHR -HINTER DEN OERAL-PRODUZIEREN KONNTEN....-DANN HÄTTE ICH WAHRSCHEINLICH NÍE ANGEGRIFFEN" Ein einfacher deutscher Soldat 6 oktober 1943.
This man should be given a prize for historical journalism. He has recorded an invaluable resource of historical facts. And Rishi should be recognized for this as well we NEED this first hand documentation. 👏🏽
@@brunobar2149 people like you are the worst. There is thousands of hours of footage of WWII and the camps. But let me guess the starving dying people are are all actors and the bodies are props that were somehow created to look real beyond the technology of the 1940s in order to *spins wheel * promote anti German propaganda to *throw dart * advance allied nations to *pulls paper out of hat *spread communism. And no one REALLY know what happened because you personally were not there so without you personally seeing the horrors of WWII there is no way to verify it. Go away.
@@brunobar2149I’m no expert but that opening statement, if true, would have made the rounds many times over by now. Brutally was inflicted for sure but Think about the logistics of pulling something like that off. I’m not buying it.
That is exactly what I just said to my husband. Enough with all this gender bs teach the truly important things and learn from our past and make the future better but not what is going on these days.
You're amazing . my grandfather was a ww2 solider. Unfortunately he passed away in 2006. He was a quiet man, didn't speak much. He would never talk about the war. Never! I wish he would've opened up to us because he was there but we barely knew him. But we loved him. He was special to us. I appreciate the work youre doing from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. You're like an angel. 😉🤗
There's not many of these veterans speak of the war even to there close relatives I salute you sir for telling your harrowing story of your service in wartime for us all to hear again thank you sir
What a great man!! These stories and the men in them are incredible human beings. And I just want to take a moment to recognize this channel for the great and very important work you are doing. You are a great man as well. I'm extremely saddened when I watch man on the street interviews where people are asked about WW2 and the Holocaust and they can't even tell you which countries took part, who Hitler was, what he did, what the Jewish people and allied prisoners of war went through. I can't express enough how important what you are doing is... Thank you! At the moment I am greatly struggling financially but soon I will donate to this incredible cause. ... THANK YOU! AND GOD BLESS YOU, FRIEND
The information your getting is critically important. Thank you. My grandpa would have been a great interview for you. A WW2 vet. He was in the army stationed in France and Germany. I remember he said, he gave his food to the starving french children and bought them things and it was heartbreaking. He went without food for the children. My grandpa was a great man he lived to be 100 with a piece of german grenade in his eye, but didnt require glasses. He did go blind for 3 months from it while healing.. I had the honor to care for my hero (Gramps) until he passed. He was a pastor and a Dad of 12 children. 13 children all together because his first daughter and baby passed from pneumonia while he was at wa.. My young grandma had to handle it all alone while my grandpa was overseas. I had 3 grandpas in WW2. 1 step grampa in the navy. He was in pearl harbor while his ship was sunk. I think it was the SS Arizona? Not 100% of the ship's name? He passed a long time ago. A Japanese bullet got him in the belly and he had to live with a clostomy bag at the age of 20 until he passed in his 70's he never spoke to us about WW2. My Dad a Vietnam vet, his dad was in the navy during WW2 as well he never spoke about it either. My moms dad the first grandpa I spoke of, he spoke to me about the war and answered anything i asked. He had survivor's guilt. He gave his seat to a senior officer by the fire to get warmed up and thats where the grenade was thrown into the campfire and the seniors head was gone. My grandpa got the shrapnel in his eye's. It was a miracle and it happened within minutes of him giving up his warm spot. If you want to see his obituary or his brother's (a marine in WW2 let me know?) Ill give you their names. Thank you for recording history that we do NOT want to forget! We do NOT want history repeating itself! Yet we see the patterns and its VERY concerning. Thanks again. 👍
Thank you, Rishi Sharma, for taking the time to interview veterans who fought in World War 2 to capture their experiences on the battlefields in Europe and in the Pacific theater. We must keep history alive and remember its lessons. Thank you also to Mr. Filak for capturing scenes of Nazi atrocities in concentration camps in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
It is so important that these people's stories are heard and preserved, it is likely people will ignore what they tell us but at least if their stories are preserved we have a chance to learn from them.
The fact that people can equate the types of things this man has seen to misgendering someone or someone not feeling "safe"....is disgusting. I Salute you sir, thank you for your service. My grandfather was in the navy during WWII and he survived pearl harbor, still have part of the zero that crashed into his ship and part of the Japanese flag.
He didn't see any of this! His job was to create atrocity propaganda for the US military. Have you thought about the things he is claiming for more than two seconds?
Yes I really dislike it when people compare modern struggles to things like the Holocaust and slavery in the 1700s-1800s. Like I understand they are struggling but we need to stop comparing historical events
@@rachelmazza4079 slavery in the 1700s to 1800s?? Slavery is a lot older than that. Slavery has been around thousands of years and long before the white man came along African tribes were heavily dealing in slaves between Arabs and other african tribes. People like to think white people were the only slavers but tbh they were only blowins to this thriving ruthless industry. Although it's never mentioned, I wonder could slavery be the single worst thing in human history. Slavery has literally caused more misery than anything in history and it's still going strong today. Wild and sad when you think about it!
@@prestigious5s23 I was specifically talking about that time period because that's the time period of slavery people most often reference when wrongly comparing modern day historical events.
Just when you think you've heard the depths of depravity, you come across things like this. I cannot imagine how see the remnants of all that in person so soon after it all occurred would effect someone for life.
Thanks! Great work. It’s been my honor to know and talk with someWWII military members. It’s been a greater honor to be related to some. The Greatest Generation!!
Thank you, Rishi, for your role in allowing us the honor of hearing these first-hand accounts. You should be receiving the Congressional Medal of Freedom, in my humble opinion. ❤
When was this film taken and what was this man's name? Is he still with us? I would love to be able to speak with him and ask how witnessing this has affected his life. I admire his strength and mental fortitude and service to history
Excellent video. My nan was in ww2 she told me her life living through it. She passed away in 2010. It’s good how you preserve these individual experience’s. As you say they deserve to be heard, these precious souls went through something we hopefully wont have to live through.🙏
I wish my grandfather was still here!!! He was a medic who was injured by a Jeep that flipped him and his partner into a creek upside down Lol I used to love to hear that story!! I’d happily share his story if your ever in Kentucky, look me up 👍
My dad graduated high school just before D-Day. His unit was bound for the Pacific theater around mid-1945. He took his camera with him & I treasure the photos he took. He even got a very close-by photo of General Eisenhower viewing his unit. Also chilling photos of the 2 cities in Japan that were bombed in Aug 1945.
Listening to a man like this who is a perfect example of a patriotic, honest american and what are country once stood for....my God what has happened to the morals and love of for this country in modern times?😢
I absolutely love what you do man and I wish I could do what you are doing. I have the utmost respect for you and what you are capturing is incredibly important. I am also a World War Two history buff and you have my support all the way. I will absolutely become a patreon as soon as I have some disposable income to keep the work and dream alive.
I also, since the age of 11 years old started learning all I could on the WWII wars, and most importantly the horrors of the concentration camps, the demise of so many within their countries. Tonight, after I finished watching this interview, I’m stunned there is more to grasp on the barbaric murdering that took place.
There is no evidence for anything he is claiming. This is absurd atrocity propaganda from 80 years ago, he is luckily too senile to realize how embarrassing this is.
@@justjacki beginning in WW1, mass propaganda became increasingly important for maintaining troop morale and popular support for the war. Entire sections of militaries were devoted purely to creating propaganda and counter intelligence. This man was in a propaganda unit, as he references dropping leaflets behind enemy lines, and then photographing liberated camps. He showed us normal pictures of a standard camp and said there is something sinister that the pictures clearly don’t show. I could just as easily show a picture of your back yard and say there are thousands of bodies buried there, and have just as much evidence.
I’m thankful for his service and sorry for all the horror he had to endure. And thank you for doing these interviews! This is my first time coming across this channel
This veteran was born July 1927. He was still only 17 on VE day (8th may 45). He witnessed such horrors at such a young age. It must have affected him throughout his life. How were so many brave children able to slip through & sign up?
So awesome all you recall things so vividly! It’s so important that what you endured can never be repeated. They don’t teach this history in school anymore…why???
Thank you for your service. My grandfather was in WWII. He was in France when the war was over. He walked through the rubble of the bombed bunkers where the Nazis were at. He took medals from the dead Nazi soldiers bodies. He kept what he found in a cookie tin. Every so often he would bring them out to show whoever asked to see them. He showed me everything he kept in the tin. Medals, a pack of tiny decks of playing cards etc. When he died my thief cousin stole them. But would lie about having them. He used them as collateral for Marijuana from another cousin. It's not that I wanted them to myself but that's a part of history ya know. They should have been split up between me and my 6 cousins. 😢I wish I had recorded my grandfather when he would talk about WWII and his role in it. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you sir,for your sacrifices and your struggle to keep your sanity through all of this.I Remember the last line of a movie I once watched called the GLORY,which is narrarated by Gen Eisenhower.The last sentence was a guy who said,Anyone who wants to start another war has not seen enough of this one,or is insane.
Thank you for your service,sadly the horrors of all wars will go on.When I was a young teenager,I actually believed there would one day be a world without any wars. Then I grew up and realized that's never going to be true.💔
There is no approximation of words in any human language that can convey the horrors and atrocities and the emotions produced from the carnage of these kinds of wars. We must never forget, always honor those who served and were lost. We must ensure that a world war never breaks out again and learn from our past while we still can! Thank you for providing us this documentary and legacy!
This must never be allowed to happen again. Jesus christ man. We cannot allow our global society to descend into the type of madness that happens when a world is at war ever again. My grandfather was a bomber crewman and flew 25 missions over Europe during ww2. He was injured on his 24th mission and missed his 25th with his crew of extremely tight friends. They were required to fly 25 missions to earn their tickets home. He flew his last mission with a different crew. They were 2 hours late coming back and nearly mia when they came on the radar and called in saying that they were all shot up and coming in with 1 engine and stuck landing gear. They did a belly slide onto the runway and made it home. My grandfather here passed when I was 3 and a half so I never got to hear the stories 1st hand unfortunately. I will become a patreon very soon. Thank you so much for what you're doing.
Human conflict happens all the time. It is part and parcel of the human psyche. Most of us would prefer to just get along, but we are now dominated by the MIC (military ind complex), and those guys need bloody war to stay in business (and power) and make lots of money.
So so much respect to you Rishi for all your effort, hard resolve and determined dedication to all the veterans. I admire your tireless up hill struggle to make it your personal endeavor to keep these service men in our minds especially at great cost with no personal gain to you except to keep these fast disappearing memories alive!
What a very interesting story!...we are a war within a war!😢 first time listener here...such an important piece of history that many are not even aware of..thank you for you work ❤
The face of evil that so many want to believe doesn’t exist. I hate learning about it but the truth is so necessary for perspective. Bless all the victims of such horrific abuse and may God rest their souls
My farther was a WW2 u a vet the day he passed over I knew before my birth women told me,I miss him, iam eternally grateful to you rishi for all your dedication in making these videos.😅
You must not be paying attention to the Liberals, Leftists, the Mainstream Media, and the current Tyrannical Regime. The signs are on the news every day!
Unfortunately I don’t find it hard to believe that humans can be so cruel and barbaric towards each other, the Nazis were just part of a long line of evil that we seem unable to prevent coming to the fore and inflicting bestial pain and suffering on those weaker than themselves, but believe it or not the Japanese were even crueler than the Nazis, not in the numbers of those tortured and murdered but by the methods they used, most especially towards POWs but to anyone that they considered inferior to them, just like the Nazis but even more barbaric.
Thank u so much for what ur doin. We cant ever forget what ugly bissness that war is . Thank God for all them who were there back then . We must not ever forget whay they done to keep us safe and free today.. so thank u for what u r doin so we dont forget.. thank u and God bless us all..

If you get a chance to see this airplane as they tour the US look at the device he would have used to calculate when to drop the bombs.
He was a member of the US Army Air Force Flying Tigers. Their home base was in Kunming China which was lacking many supplies. It was a frequent assignment to fly over to Kolkata India to get enough fuel for the squadrons next mission. They also bought all of their food and other supplies in India.
To fly over “The Hump” was quite dangerous. This was flying over some of the highest mountains on earth and crashes did happen.
Dad sat in an exposed part of the plane, a clear dome that was vulnerable to enemy fire. One of the missions he was most proud of was eliminating a dam without killing all of the villagers. He was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses during his time fighting the Japanese.
Truly an amazing example of the greatest generation.

My dad is dead but he was a machine gunest. He was German american but has shot down a couple of Nazi planes. He used to tell me when I was a teenager that you never shoot directly at the plane you fire a head our you would never hit it. You fire the machine gun ahead of you plane and slowly bring it back into the plane. He knew what he was doing because he survived and became the best father. If I had another go around in life I would pick him over and over again. Rest in peace daddy I love you. 😢
Germans are so evil,they showed their true colors
Beautifully said.
Gunist or gunner?
@@CiaofCleburne I'm sure he meant gunner
Thank you to your Family for the service and sacrifice!
I was going through my great grandfathers things when I was kid, came across a small tin box full of photos from his time in WW2, absolutely gruesome stuff I didn’t intend to see. I had a hard time as a kid trying to understand how he could just take pictures of such horrors but now I know it was important for ppl back home to see what happened. He was only 16 when my alcoholic grandmother signed him over to the army. I can’t imagine being that young & seeing what he & all those good men saw.
THIS WHAT DEMONCRATES HAVE INSTORE FOR REPUBLICANS
We just came across my father in laws packs of pictures from his time at Nuremberg as they processed German atrocity photos. He never allowed us to see them for how gruesome they were.
Alot of the time, at least with the germans, the mail was monitored and censored, they werent allowed to send atrocity pics back, alot of them wouldve been confiscated before the letter was recieved
What did you see?
My grandfather died before I was born, so I never got to hear about his time in the war. However, I know he was a medic in the unit that liberated Dachau. When my grandmother died ten years back, we found a similar stack of photos. Piles of emaciated bodies everywhere. My dad gave them to the holocaust museum.
Thank you for sharing these painful stories that need to be remembered. Thank you for your service, sacrifice and courage for freedom 🇺🇸
Everyone knows about the Nazis. It's repeated over & over! What people (especially Americans) need to learn about is what the Communists did to Europe prior to the rise of the Nazis!! Research "Red Terror"!
We need to learn from.
My ex wifes grand dad was a photographer with army. Second wave of liberation of one of the camps. His photo books made the history books look like saturday morning cartoons.
War is hell.
War is a racket
I havemy Uncles photos of Dachau. Sad
Thank you for your service Sir. It must have been absolutely horrific being there but so important that you were. May God bless you always!!!! ✝️🇺🇸✝️
@electronicpizzaparlor what? Germans are fucking amazing. Nazis are the fucktards that ruined the Weimar Republic, they were the problem.
Also god doesn't exist, why would god allow the Holocaust to happen?
Huge respect is due to to the Christians ✝️+ who perished alongside us in the camps because they stood in solidarity with Jews, disabled, Roma, all those who the Nazi tried to exterminate. My grand-family died + I sometimes wonder if they were helped in some way by a brave German of a different Faith .✡️✝️stand together. Thankyou to all who helped liberate the camps . Never again. Gegen Nazi! German for against Nazi
Everything he said is BS. Ask him to show you pictures of these actual "atrocities". He has none. Just pictures of empty rooms with nothing. Total liar. Hopefully he'll burn in hell.
@@georgeburns8447 are you drunk all of the time or only when you're on TH-cam writing comments?
Salute to you soldier, thank you for not only your service but sharing. It's very hard for some to share my girlfriends father was green beret in Vietnam. Was gutted by a helicopter blade and has scars to show it. I always admired and respected him he went through all this and still kept going, still kept fighting and came home alive. He was almost 7 foot tall so yeah a very imposing strong man. And a full gun cabinet.
If I was 7 ft. tall I'd make certain to never be around choppers!
@@billfarley9167 that's for sure. He is the only one who should duck when getting in and out of a chopper but being such a BA he probably never did.
Didn't know that they accepted men that tall .
Much respect to this man and all the journalists/photographers who captured the horrors of the war for the world to see. It boggles my mind that anyone would deny all the evidence for these atrocities. It is an insult to men like this courageous hero who endured so much to document what he saw. I honor all of our veterans, especially those of the Greatest Generation. I am a WWII history buff and write historical fiction, so these testimonies are invaluable to my work. These heroes will not be forgotten if I can help it.
WHATS INSTORE FOR REPUBLICANS
What evidence?
@@silvesteraben7946 I hope you're joking. How much evidence do you need?
He has an active imagination but was never there.
@@davidfoss4836 That is an insult to thousands of servicemen who saw the same thing, recorded it, and retell it. Not to mention the people who were actual victims.
If we don't stand up now we going to go thru all this again
Well, our children sure will!
Now it is somehow fashionable to be anti Semitic and pro terrorist for college kids these days; it is happening again. And these skulls full of mush vote socialist, too which is what the s or z in Nazi stands for, you can’t do such things without mad unchecked power and socialism never fails to provide what is needed for genocide, and it’s never clean it’s always unbelievably cruel and miserably executed. It’s happening again.
Do you know who is the new nazi nowadays?
😂that's a completely ludicrous parallel >>>NÈVER forget to whom we owe our liberation in Europe.

This man should be given a prize for historical journalism. He has recorded an invaluable resource of historical facts. And Rishi should be recognized for this as well we NEED this first hand documentation. 👏🏽
Facts??? Where is the proof of his lies?
@@brunobar2149 people like you are the worst. There is thousands of hours of footage of WWII and the camps. But let me guess the starving dying people are are all actors and the bodies are props that were somehow created to look real beyond the technology of the 1940s in order to *spins wheel * promote anti German propaganda to *throw dart * advance allied nations to *pulls paper out of hat *spread communism. And no one REALLY know what happened because you personally were not there so without you personally seeing the horrors of WWII there is no way to verify it. Go away.
@@brunobar2149I’m no expert but that opening statement, if true, would have made the rounds many times over by now. Brutally was inflicted for sure but Think about the logistics of pulling something like that off. I’m not buying it.
Xif I'm being completely honest these photos and videos show nothing and 99,% of what this guy is saying is hearsay
The man is deluded and much of it is hearsay.
Excellent. You are so right….these veterans deserve our undivided attention. My hope is that someday we will stop the madness of war.
These documentaries should be shown in every high school.
No one should ever forget those who died and suffered because of such evil!
THE DEMONCRATES WILL MAKE NEW PHOTOS OF REPUBLICANS BEING TORTURED
Amen! My thought also!
Such evil is still around. Systematic racism
That is exactly what I just said to my husband. Enough with all this gender bs teach the truly important things and learn from our past and make the future better but not what is going on these days.
He took no photographs of his claims. Not. One.
You are a good kid. And respectful. World needs more people like you. God bless you and your $$.
I feel for this man living with these pictures and memories.
This history is very important.
You're amazing . my grandfather was a ww2 solider. Unfortunately he passed away in 2006. He was a quiet man, didn't speak much. He would never talk about the war. Never! I wish he would've opened up to us because he was there but we barely knew him. But we loved him. He was special to us. I appreciate the work youre doing from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. You're like an angel. 😉🤗
There's not many of these veterans speak of the war even to there close relatives I salute you sir for telling your harrowing story of your service in wartime for us all to hear again thank you sir
What a great man!! These stories and the men in them are incredible human beings. And I just want to take a moment to recognize this channel for the great and very important work you are doing. You are a great man as well. I'm extremely saddened when I watch man on the street interviews where people are asked about WW2 and the Holocaust and they can't even tell you which countries took part, who Hitler was, what he did, what the Jewish people and allied prisoners of war went through. I can't express enough how important what you are doing is... Thank you! At the moment I am greatly struggling financially but soon I will donate to this incredible cause.
...
THANK YOU! AND GOD BLESS YOU, FRIEND
The information your getting is critically important. Thank you. My grandpa would have been a great interview for you. A WW2 vet. He was in the army stationed in France and Germany. I remember he said, he gave his food to the starving french children and bought them things and it was heartbreaking. He went without food for the children. My grandpa was a great man he lived to be 100 with a piece of german grenade in his eye, but didnt require glasses. He did go blind for 3 months from it while healing.. I had the honor to care for my hero (Gramps) until he passed. He was a pastor and a Dad of 12 children. 13 children all together because his first daughter and baby passed from pneumonia while he was at wa.. My young grandma had to handle it all alone while my grandpa was overseas. I had 3 grandpas in WW2. 1 step grampa in the navy. He was in pearl harbor while his ship was sunk. I think it was the SS Arizona? Not 100% of the ship's name? He passed a long time ago. A Japanese bullet got him in the belly and he had to live with a clostomy bag at the age of 20 until he passed in his 70's he never spoke to us about WW2. My Dad a Vietnam vet, his dad was in the navy during WW2 as well he never spoke about it either. My moms dad the first grandpa I spoke of, he spoke to me about the war and answered anything i asked. He had survivor's guilt. He gave his seat to a senior officer by the fire to get warmed up and thats where the grenade was thrown into the campfire and the seniors head was gone. My grandpa got the shrapnel in his eye's. It was a miracle and it happened within minutes of him giving up his warm spot. If you want to see his obituary or his brother's (a marine in WW2 let me know?) Ill give you their names. Thank you for recording history that we do NOT want to forget! We do NOT want history repeating itself! Yet we see the patterns and its VERY concerning. Thanks again. 👍
Thank you, Rishi Sharma, for taking the time to interview veterans who fought in World War 2 to capture their experiences on the battlefields in Europe and in the Pacific theater. We must keep history alive and remember its lessons.
Thank you also to Mr. Filak for capturing scenes of Nazi atrocities in concentration camps in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
👍 👍 👍
Wow. Thanks for this. You deserve more than you have gotten for this.
It is so important that these people's stories are heard and preserved, it is likely people will ignore what they tell us but at least if their stories are preserved we have a chance to learn from them.
Amazing heroes..I will never forget them and the sacrifices for our collective freedoms !!!!
The fact that people can equate the types of things this man has seen to misgendering someone or someone not feeling "safe"....is disgusting.
I Salute you sir, thank you for your service. My grandfather was in the navy during WWII and he survived pearl harbor, still have part of the zero that crashed into his ship and part of the Japanese flag.
Its unbelievable isn't! Shows how little of the Nazis people actually know.
He didn't see any of this! His job was to create atrocity propaganda for the US military. Have you thought about the things he is claiming for more than two seconds?
Yes I really dislike it when people compare modern struggles to things like the Holocaust and slavery in the 1700s-1800s. Like I understand they are struggling but we need to stop comparing historical events
@@rachelmazza4079 slavery in the 1700s to 1800s?? Slavery is a lot older than that. Slavery has been around thousands of years and long before the white man came along African tribes were heavily dealing in slaves between Arabs and other african tribes. People like to think white people were the only slavers but tbh they were only blowins to this thriving ruthless industry. Although it's never mentioned, I wonder could slavery be the single worst thing in human history. Slavery has literally caused more misery than anything in history and it's still going strong today. Wild and sad when you think about it!
@@prestigious5s23 I was specifically talking about that time period because that's the time period of slavery people most often reference when wrongly comparing modern day historical events.
He’s from my city I feel honored to know that a good man came from this city
God bless our Veterans and God bless You!
Wow,he was only 17 yrs old in 1945.and seeing that shit.omg God bless him
Thank you for your service Mr. Filak. God bless you
Listen to the testimony of the men who were there. They know. Never forget, because it can happen again.
WOW‼️ Time is running out to hear their words. Thank you for what you do‼️
Just when you think you've heard the depths of depravity, you come across things like this.
I cannot imagine how see the remnants of all that in person so soon after it all occurred would effect someone for life.
Very interesting Information and retrospective from the Veteran 👍
Thank you Rishi from a Vietnam veteran. God bless you.
Thanks! Great work. It’s been my honor to know and talk with someWWII military members. It’s been a greater honor to be related to some. The Greatest Generation!!
Rishi, you are a hero too.
Thank you, Rishi, for your role in allowing us the honor of hearing these first-hand accounts. You should be receiving the Congressional Medal of Freedom, in my humble opinion. ❤
Yes he absolutely deserves the Congressional medal of freedom
When was this film taken and what was this man's name? Is he still with us? I would love to be able to speak with him and ask how witnessing this has affected his life. I admire his strength and mental fortitude and service to history
Thank you for doing these interviews!
Thank you for your service and for showing everybody what really happened in Europe God bless you 🙏🙏
Excellent video. My nan was in ww2 she told me her life living through it. She passed away in 2010. It’s good how you preserve these individual experience’s. As you say they deserve to be heard, these precious souls went through something we hopefully wont have to live through.🙏
Rishi, thank you for helping these veterans to get their stories, experience & memories out there. You're doing an amazing job
I wish my grandfather was still here!!! He was a medic who was injured by a Jeep that flipped him and his partner into a creek upside down Lol I used to love to hear that story!! I’d happily share his story if your ever in Kentucky, look me up 👍
My papaw drove a jeep in north affrica and in italy . i am from ky and so was my grandfather!
"Lol"???
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS SO MUCH. I will tell all who will listen to watch these videos. God bless you and our veterans.
Thank you so very much for your time and your help with our vets. I wished you met my dad he WWII Navy enlisted then hed tell you his stories
You are amazing Sir!! Thank you for remembering the men and women of WWII hero’s!
I don’t know how you could sleep at night after witnessing that horror. Thank you for your service. You are a true hero.
My dad graduated high school just before D-Day. His unit was bound for the Pacific theater around mid-1945. He took his camera with him & I treasure the photos he took. He even got a very close-by photo of General Eisenhower viewing his unit. Also chilling photos of the 2 cities in Japan that were bombed in Aug 1945.
The depth of fallen man! Thank God for providing a Savior! Very interesting but hard to fathom!
Listening to a man like this who is a perfect example of a patriotic, honest american and what are country once stood for....my God what has happened to the morals and love of for this country in modern times?😢
I absolutely love what you do man and I wish I could do what you are doing. I have the utmost respect for you and what you are capturing is incredibly important. I am also a World War Two history buff and you have my support all the way. I will absolutely become a patreon as soon as I have some disposable income to keep the work and dream alive.
Much horror that we must never forget. Thank you for sharing your story.
I also, since the age of 11 years old started learning all I could on the WWII wars, and most importantly the horrors of the concentration camps, the demise of so many within their countries.
Tonight, after I finished watching this interview, I’m stunned there is more to grasp on the barbaric murdering that took place.
There is no evidence for anything he is claiming. This is absurd atrocity propaganda from 80 years ago, he is luckily too senile to realize how embarrassing this is.
@@BannedHistorythis soldier is sharing the quiet parts of history out loud
@isabellac1117 exactly 🤗 The willingness to share even the ugliest memories allows new generations to learn about the history of war 😇
@@justjacki beginning in WW1, mass propaganda became increasingly important for maintaining troop morale and popular support for the war. Entire sections of militaries were devoted purely to creating propaganda and counter intelligence. This man was in a propaganda unit, as he references dropping leaflets behind enemy lines, and then photographing liberated camps. He showed us normal pictures of a standard camp and said there is something sinister that the pictures clearly don’t show. I could just as easily show a picture of your back yard and say there are thousands of bodies buried there, and have just as much evidence.
@@BannedHistorybro your spot on there ! This poor old boy was a kid then and believed everything he was told ! It's a shame
I’m thankful for his service and sorry for all the horror he had to endure. And thank you for doing these interviews! This is my first time coming across this channel
I feel like in a past life you were in this war and many others yourself. Thank you for your work I really enjoy listening to theses hero’s stories !!
God bless you for doing this. This is definitely a calling and too many of our vets are forgotten 😢 You are amazing 🙏🏻
This veteran was born July 1927. He was still only 17 on VE day (8th may 45). He witnessed such horrors at such a young age. It must have affected him throughout his life. How were so many brave children able to slip through & sign up?
Thank you for what your doing. Your work you are doing is very important.
Testicle crushing at the nuremberg apparently
Or burning alive women, children & wounded unarmed people, like at Dresden?
I am jealous of what you are doing with your life. Interviewing all these veterans of ww2 would be amazing
Thank you for sharing this.
So awesome all you recall things so vividly! It’s so important that what you endured can never be repeated. They don’t teach this history in school anymore…why???
Im amazed he isn't scarred for life after photographing things like that brave guy😖💖💖
Thank you for your service. My grandfather was in WWII. He was in France when the war was over. He walked through the rubble of the bombed bunkers where the Nazis were at. He took medals from the dead Nazi soldiers bodies. He kept what he found in a cookie tin. Every so often he would bring them out to show whoever asked to see them. He showed me everything he kept in the tin. Medals, a pack of tiny decks of playing cards etc. When he died my thief cousin stole them. But would lie about having them. He used them as collateral for Marijuana from another cousin. It's not that I wanted them to myself but that's a part of history ya know. They should have been split up between me and my 6 cousins. 😢I wish I had recorded my grandfather when he would talk about WWII and his role in it. ❤❤❤❤❤
this is even worse then the books talk about, thank you so much for sharing Rishi
God bless Rishi Sharma fine work you have dedicated 🙏 to
Thank you Rishi, for all your great work, with preserving living history!!!
Thank you sir,for your sacrifices and your struggle to keep your sanity through all of this.I Remember the last line of a movie I once watched called the GLORY,which is narrarated by Gen Eisenhower.The last sentence was a guy who said,Anyone who wants to start another war has not seen enough of this one,or is insane.
Thank you for your service
The most chilling thing he said is how the soldiers would get bored how to kill people.
Man’s heart is desperately wicked.
Thank you for your service,sadly the horrors of all wars will go on.When I was a young teenager,I actually believed there would one day be a world without any wars.
Then I grew up and realized that's never going to be true.💔
The photos shown, could hardly be described as 'brutal torture experiments'.
Disappointed?
So what there has been plenty of books photos and documentation written about the concentration camps ...man's inhumanity to man
You my sir are a GOD send! One who truly appreciates your freedom GOD bless you my brother 😇❤️😇💕
He must have had nightmares for the rest of his life
There is no approximation of words in any human language that can convey the horrors and atrocities and the emotions produced from the carnage of these kinds of wars. We must never forget, always honor those who served and were lost. We must ensure that a world war never breaks out again and learn from our past while we still can! Thank you for providing us this documentary and legacy!
Much much respect… The world needs to hear this
This must never be allowed to happen again. Jesus christ man. We cannot allow our global society to descend into the type of madness that happens when a world is at war ever again. My grandfather was a bomber crewman and flew 25 missions over Europe during ww2. He was injured on his 24th mission and missed his 25th with his crew of extremely tight friends. They were required to fly 25 missions to earn their tickets home. He flew his last mission with a different crew. They were 2 hours late coming back and nearly mia when they came on the radar and called in saying that they were all shot up and coming in with 1 engine and stuck landing gear. They did a belly slide onto the runway and made it home. My grandfather here passed when I was 3 and a half so I never got to hear the stories 1st hand unfortunately. I will become a patreon very soon. Thank you so much for what you're doing.
Human conflict happens all the time. It is part and parcel of the human psyche. Most of us would prefer to just get along, but we are now dominated by the MIC (military ind complex), and those guys need bloody war to stay in business (and power) and make lots of money.
it will happen again,,,,in fact it is happening right now in many parts of the world, people just don't care.
So so much respect to you Rishi for all your effort, hard resolve and determined dedication to all the veterans. I admire your tireless up hill struggle to make it your personal endeavor to keep these service men in our minds especially at great cost with no personal gain to you except to keep these fast disappearing memories alive!
Can’t tell you how much I needed to hear another person say this. Thanks and GOD BLESS
Thank you sir for your service what a hard job great man God bless you
Wow what a crazy time to be alive
This is so highly valuable ! Please make sure these photos and videos are given to Arolsen or another institution.
Thank you
For your service
God Bless America 🇺🇸
I don't know if I would ever recover from seeing that.
What a very interesting story!...we are a war within a war!😢 first time listener here...such an important piece of history that many are not even aware of..thank you for you work ❤
It’s war propaganda. Just like the skin lampshades & shrunken heads.
The face of evil that so many want to believe doesn’t exist. I hate learning about it but the truth is so necessary for perspective. Bless all the victims of such horrific abuse and may God rest their souls

Thank you for documenting these stories. We must never forget the truth from the people who saw first hand what happened ❤
Hard to believe this was human beings doing this to humans.
You must not be paying attention to the Liberals, Leftists, the Mainstream Media, and the current Tyrannical Regime. The signs are on the news every day!
You havent studied much human history apparently.
Clever apes. Brutal at times.
Pointless murders this is so disgusting!
No it isn't . We are a vile species. Look at history. And we are a species in decline
Unfortunately I don’t find it hard to believe that humans can be so cruel and barbaric towards each other, the Nazis were just part of a long line of evil that we seem unable to prevent coming to the fore and inflicting bestial pain and suffering on those weaker than themselves, but believe it or not the Japanese were even crueler than the Nazis, not in the numbers of those tortured and murdered but by the methods they used, most especially towards POWs but to anyone that they considered inferior to them, just like the Nazis but even more barbaric.
Thank u so much for what ur doin. We cant ever forget what ugly bissness that war is . Thank God for all them who were there back then . We must not ever forget whay they done to keep us safe and free today.. so thank u for what u r doin so we dont forget.. thank u and God bless us all..
Well done for your work. This and the horror of war must never be forgotten but sadly it continues... Humans.. So destructive.
