Another great episode on Sepps history, thank you!! I had a friend in the Oslo School of Architecture, Christian G., who was German and had served as Gebirgsjäger. He didn't talk very much about his time in the army (military service was not a cool subject among many of the students - also a quite universal thing aroundd the world I've noticed...), but was immensely proud of his Edelweiss... He still lives in Norway, I've met a couple of time by coincidence after our studies, but have lost contact with him now. If I should meet him again, I'd definitely recommend to check this firsthand history to him!
Amazing. I'm so grateful to have found your readings. There is no shortage of information out there about the war and military movements, but sadly little about the personal experiences of the participants. It would be very interesting to explore the mental gymnastics, or lack thereof, of the Romanian solders changing sides and committing acts of war so viciously at, seemingly, the drop of a hat. A chilling look at the effects of personal foibles when applied to national leadership.
Excellent. Also: *Different version of history channel has 100's of interviews with German soldiers, foreign volunteers (mostly Waffen SS), & civilians, too*
A family friend was in the SS. His division along with survivors of others fought their way after Germany formally surrendered back to Austria and American lines before disbanding. The Russians demanded the survivors after capture but it didn't happen as the Americans kept them.Our family friend went bush along with close friends back towards Switzerland where he stayed in the high country. Franz was closed mouth about details. When we knew him he was an engineer working for COMWORKS building roads around PNG
Thank you, I never miss an episode. This story would make a great movie. The reality of it, if witnessed by the general public as movie goers, might do a lot to convince citizens of every nation to oppose wars when prompted by their idiot leaders. Just think, the very same s**t is going on today in Ukraine and Russia on the very same battle grounds!
Ukraine didn't ask for the war. Its good they choose to fight back and the west supports their cause...freedom. just saying kumbaya won't stop people like Stalin, kim, Pootin...
I love these diaries, it is great to hear the point of view and experiences of those who actually took part. But 'honourless behaviour'... Invading almost all of Europe, murdering innocent civilians left right and center, pinpointedly and carefully planned emptying of entire provinces, deporting millions to be murdered in factory-like fashion. Storming neutral countries without even a declaration of war like cowardly thieves in the night. Sorry, but the occupiers had absolutely nothing to complain about, the least of all 'honour'. They had none themselves.

Pretty grim episode this one, but gripping just the same. Thanks TD, eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Indeed it is. Infantry combat on the eastern front was harsh to say the least...
Another fine reading.
Thank you!
Another interesting listen
Many thanks 👍
You're welcome!
Brilliantly read once again
Thank you!

Yes, I have watched a lot 😎

Interesting! I personally don't know anyone who has/had ties to the SS, but then, only a few of them were vocal about it after the war.

Yes, a more personal account like this would truly be impressive.

Chapter 12 or 9?
It's Part 9 of the series, which covers chapter 12 of the book 🫡
So typically Russian: just like today.
