I have studied WW II for 40 years and i had never seen those ME 2 jets parked along that Autobahn. People today think that the past was a bland black and white world but these films bring it to life
I agree.. I think it's the reality of what looks like muck and dirt on soldiers returning from battle in B/W is actually blood in full colour and that hits quite hard on most of us. It finalises what has happened without the use of words.
I love the color restorations and it seems to me that they slow it down and do something to make the films less “herky jerky”. Everything is much clearer and more visceral….and the faces of the men who are all babies to their Mothers. These restored films break my heart.
I was holding this video in the highest esteem until I saw how much it was censored. People need to see the full scope of these atrocities in order to help prevent them from happening again.
There's lots out there if you want to see all the skeletal and burnt bodies. If you want to educate young people (as your comment suggests) than IMO blurring out the severe stuff makes perfect sense, and in fact one may realize serves history better once they get over their sense of personal entitlement (on a free platform, no less lol).
My FATHER of blessed memory was in Auschwitz. He was married with two young sons. Dr. Yosef Mengele separated the men from the women. The weak (who were slated to be gassed along with children, the elderly or anyone who was of no use to them) from the strong who were used as slave labor until they could no longer work or got typhus. At age 40 he ended up in a DP camp (he was from Hungary) and met my mother who was 27. He didnt want to remarry due to all the loss but he married her and produced 4 children from who came beautiful, orthodox religous generations. He came to the US without the shirt on his back along with my mother and sister who was born in the DP camp. By the way when the survivors returned to their cities in Europe (Germany, Hungary, Poland etc) to reclaim their homes, property, businesses they were told by their neighbors who they once lived along side with TO GO TO HELL, YOU ARE NO LONGER WANTED HERE. THEY STOLE EVERYTHING FROM THE JEWS. Man's inhumanity to man at its finest.

My grandfather, a Jew, was liberated from the Dachau concentration camp. He was 49 years old. An American GI of Lithuanian catholic extraction befriended him and they were able to communicate in the Lithuanian language. My grandfather’s entire extended family and four of his own children had been killed by the Germans and the Lithuanian collaborators. He returned to Lithuania and discovered that his wife, two elder daughters had been liberated by the red army. I was born four years later. I’ve heard many stories about their experience during the war. My grandfather died in New York in 1992.
It's sickens me to know and part what these precious people endured and went through and no one would know any better than them that went through it and of course lived. God bless to choose God bless Israel❤❤❤❤
I want to send TH-cam a complaint of their censorship. This is history, a source of eduction to prevent it happening ever again. How do I issue a complaint to TH-cam?
I can't imagine what it must have been like for these former prisoners, to have to rebuild their lives, their families all wiped out and the decades of PTSD that followed. I hope they lived out their lives in peace and surrounded by love.
I met one. She lived in Melbourne Australia. She got a double pension for the rest of her life. Had the number tattoo on her arm but never spoke of what happened to her.
I was lucky enough to take a trip to Europe through school at 13, I had taken German for 2 years at that point and continued to take it through high school. I took part in a guided tour of Dachau and it truly changed who I was and the man I eventually became. Something I am unbelievably grateful for, and wish all children were given the same opportunity.
In Norway, we have something called "white busses" 10th graders use these buses, and visits concentration camps in Germany and Poland. It is expensive, and not something every school can afford, but it is actually quite common. I was unfortunately too sick, so I was not allowed to travel, but my school went to both Poland and Germany.
@@TheBossssssssssss I thinks Rose means it's important to continue teaching about Holocaust to prevent it from happening again. And when they don't teach these horrible things it is as if they want it to repeat. So many horrific things went on in these camps, fx the starving and not caring for foreign prisoners new born children, who were taken from their mothers after birth just to die - made me so incredibly sad. The medical experiments on prisoners etc. The sadistic German women prison guards, fx Ilse Kock who were said to made lamp shades out of tattooed human skin from the prisoners. All incredibly unbelievable inhuman. I agree with Rose, it is important to remember even the darkest evil to prevent something that crazy to happen again.
My grandmother and aunts were liberated from Dachau. Grandma still remembers the American soldier who later allowed her to take a bag of flour from a warehouse in the town.
I was stationed in Bamberg for 3 years 1987-1989 and visited Dachau one of the most sobering and moving experiences of my life. I remember two things most: a photograph of an enormous pile of shoes with a caption "the final solution " and the quote about those who cannot remember history are condemned to repeat it.
My father was shot on April 23rd liberating a small town in Germany , my Dad was 18 years 7 months old , when he was shot. He was hit by a 50 caliber machine gun , in the stomach twice , once in his right leg , he suffered his whole life , in and out of Hines Hospital , his wounds took him at 66 . My Dad and his 3 other brothers all first generation AMERICANS ,as young boys ,defending and fighting for there country was the most important part of their young lives ! Imagine 18 year olds today having to defend our country now ! Lord saves us !!!!!!
Those were the men of the great generation, and the times of today those men do not exist anymore, most of this generation has fallen into the grasps, of the movement of today, the confederacy of the Republican Party.
@@badgoat666 I here to prove he survived ,so are my brother and sister , so are the 1200 people that mourned when he died at 66 , I wonder what you were doing at 18 years old
I grew up in my bombed out city of Wuerzburg..we had 5 US Army bases and the GI s became our friends for many decades ..I married a Soldier and immigrated to the US 46 yrs ago..These documentaries really hit me hard
I had the opportunity to visit my Dad's cousin in the 1980s who lived near Munich. He had fought in WW2 as a young soldier in the German army. When asked about the war, he would remain silent out of the shame he felt and the atrocities he had witnessed. It was heartbreaking to watch.
I have heard rumours of a group of Luftwaffe that came upon a camp and were so horrified at what they saw, that they took the guards, and other German camp staff, prisoner on the spot.
They're trying hard though. I saw most of them before they were censored. I suspect in a hundred years, nobody will know what happened because of wokeys like youtube
@ 23:03 As a Rush fan, Lead singer, Geddy Lee's parents both met here and were rescued together, giving the free world, one of the best bass guitarists of our generation - Keep history alive, or we will repeat it!
Only fools think this was the only bad thing that ever happened, or that somehow knowing about them will prevent future bad things. Put on your big boy pants.
My dad -- a Sargeant in the 45th Thunderbirds Division -- was there during the liberation of Dachau. After viewing footage like this, it's easy to understand why he never talked about it.
I visited Dachau in 1995 and I left a different person. If people don’t know about the atrocities, how can we ever hope to prevent them from happening again. Next time, and I feel a “next time” may be coming, it could be us and our families. I feel there is a vested interest in not allowing history to be learned because it empowers the people and “they” don’t want that.
That’s why they still stand today. The Dachaus, the aushwitzs and the buchenwolds are all a reminder of what once happened. My grandfather liberated Dachau in 1945. I actually just posted a comment about him.
Remember this as Anti-Semitism is rising up around the world. First, islam will come for the Saturday people, then they will come for the Sunday people.
Visiting Dachau in 1973 also had a huge impact on me. I had visited Yad Vashem in 1966, but was such a youngster that a fair bit went over my head. Dachau made it all become very real. There was a Protestant church there and a pastor showed me his prisoner tatoo. I think it was Martin Niemoller, but I failed to record his name so am just guessing.
I know quite a few people that have been there and they said the same and were indeed noticeably different upon their return. Some went religious and others said they felt a terrible paranormal presence there (and had to rethink everything) where before they would absolutely mock anything of that nature.
My father in law said he was one of the American soldiers who helped to liberate Dachau but beyond saying that it was horrible he would say nothing further. He was 25 at the time and came home safely from the war. Really a nice,nice man!
This is so emotional seeing it in color. What a wonderful addition! Thank you! It makes it so much more relatable to see, and the importance of it is immense.
We as a species engage in war often, across the globe, for a multitude of reasons and justifications. It's comprehensive on every level. Maybe you cant comprehend it or justify it as a third party, but even if It may be unwanted, you can't say we as a collective don't understand the toll of war on those either directly or indirectly involved in it. Hell, war has existed for approximately 4700+ years.
I have been to Dachau, Bergen-Belsen and Mittelbrau-Dora. What I felt as a 7 yr old was profound sadness on level that I can not put into words. I remember crying the whole time I was at each site. Just thinking about it now brings a crushing feeling of sadness and horror that I will probably never shake. I wish that my dad had not taken me to these places but in a way, I am glad he did. I will never be able to forget what I saw and the stories that I heard there. Chills my bones to this very day. Never forget.
I went to Dachau at 21 as I thought it was something I should see for myself. I could not even go in but I certainly remember those gates. I was overwhelmed by the ghastly atmosphere. I’ve never been able to describe it.
In my opinion every person in Europe should go and witness these places. Every. Single. Person. Because it wasn't just the Germans butchering people, most nations in Europe had collaborators more than willing to kill those different from themselves.

@@casario2808 I do understand what you are saying- there just a lot of denial of the Holocaust going on these days. The frank horror of it all does seem to hurt people..especially those whose families were the victims
@@casario2808 You are missing the point. The money driven corporation that is TH-cam is requiring the whitewashing of actual, historical disturbing events. People need to see these images, not for some cheap thrill, but to bear witness to first hand documentation of these events... before the footage is doctored or manipulated to the point of uncertainty of what was original footage.
Given the fact that colour film was exceedingly rare, it may indeed have been filmed yesterday. One wonders about the sudden appearance of colour in all sorts of WWII presentations after so many decades of black and white. Perhaps one should check the files if Hollywood films as sources?
Years ago I visited Dachau. It was a cold,dreary day in March and that was fitting given what I saw. Dark,frightening...I'll remember it until the day I die.
@@tonyjones1560 i also visited Dachau in the summer of 88, I was newly married and extended my tour. when she came to be with me in 89 I made sure to take her and a couple others to visit it as I changed duty stations from Schwabish Hall to Stuttgart..both times it was summer, 88 was cold and rain all year.
I have seen documentaries in black and white, uncensured a decade ago. Nowadays, it seems they want to keep us away from reality and a past that should not be forfotten.
@alysononoahu8702 this film was found recently in someone's home archives from their private collection. I grew up watching world war II documentaries with my grandfather because he served in the war. They never had any in color. TH-cam is a serious blessing. George Stevens collection I believe.
Their beautiful precious faces finally realizing their liberation. They have suffered more than most could endure. Seeing the young prisoners walking around in their threadbare striped inmate attire with no shoes walking on the mud, it looks so cold, so cruel and so desolate.
although I am almost 80 years after 1945, and 10000 km away from Dachau concentration camp, every time I watch the concentration camp liberated, I tear.
I highly recommend Primo Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz (If This is a Man)," if you struggle to understand what the inmates experienced. I have never read anything so poetic and horrifying at the same time. This history is vitally important for the whole world to understand, and somehow is becoming lost. When I was a kid, this book was very well known (and I grew up in the 1990's!).
i have to disagree with the events being forgotten. At least not in Europe. Germany and Austria regularly show documentaries, acknowledge anniversaries of events back then. There are regular exhibitions - and when i say regularly I mean one of more of these events per week.
The instant I see censorship I'm out of here. I find censorship of horror despicable because you learn nothing if you see nothing. No one yearns for images of mass death but how the hell do we learn anything when we see nothing?
At 18:24 and 19:06 there is for a few seconds a rare shot of an M26 Pershing heavy tank, these were only just coming into service in 1945 and were meant to combat the German Tigers and King Tigers. Lovely to see and in colour.
Because the content creator has no responsibility to you when they decide to upload anything, historical or not, for your FREE viewing. If you would like to view the non-blurred version, I am certain the series is available for a small fee. Capitalism, amiright?
When I log in on a public library computer with Windows and Edge as a browser, I get a message on my phone that there is a log in on MacOS. Do you really think such clowns can make such an algorithm so that only adults can see unfiltered footage?
The content creator uploads them blurred. Google/YT have nothing to do with it. Wanna watch the non-blurred? I am sure you can find it somewhere off of this FREE platform.
There is a movie/documentary called Night Will Fall. It’s footage from the Allies that shows clearly the deliverance of the camps. Through Hitchcocks genius it clearly shows how close to the camps German communities were. I’d give it 300 stars…..and that isn’t even enough. This is not a film for anyone under 18. Even a person younger couldn’t handle it, even if their interests lie there
My grandfather passed through Dachau and was liberated by American soldiers. His name was Yakiv Kochyn and unfortunately, he didn't live to see me born. They convinced him to immigrate to US before soviet soldiers came, but he was young and decided to come back home to his family to Zhytomyr Region in soviet Ukraine. Fortunately, his two brothers, two sisters and father survived the war, which was incredible luck for a Ukrainian family of that time.
The atrocities to people, the murders, the torture, the devastation, the ever lasting mental & physical repercussions. I wish a link, without censorship, could be made available.
It's still amazing that one insane monster could deceive millions to end lives of millions more and for what? May it never happen again. Great footage this needs shown in American high schools and Universities.
and the russians british canadians australians south africans free french brazillian norwegian polish chzech irish indian and many more who gave their lives
It was NOT all USA They came in the last near end of war Britain was there RIGHT from the start They tried to get USA to come on board for ages but they would not
TheGermans look shattered and beaten down, but the overwhelming majority of them loved it when Hitles was in power, committing historic atrocities on a scale never before seen.
My father once told me about entering bergan belson and some of the horrors that he witnessed too terrible to repeat and nightmares for the rest of his life and then the other day i heard that ROSEANNE BARR DENIED THAT IT EVER HAPPENED the rage that im still feeling stops me from continuing
Yeah, my grandfather liberated Dachau, he never told anyone about what he saw. He told my cousin and I vaguely. But it wasn’t until years later when I was watching the military channel they showed after the liberation of Dachau and it was horrifying.
I think my dad was in Dachau right after it was liberated and had to help with clean up. He never talked about it and we knew better than to ask. He did say that the German civilians knew what was going on but were powerless to do anything. Years later my parents went to Germany as the first Christian missionaries and started a church in Munich and later at the Dachau camp on the German side. My dad hated Germany but loved the people that he had met there at the end of the war and remained friends with them his whole life. I've been to Dachau many times, usually with visitors from the US . They have videos that the Americans took are very disturbing and the whole place gives you a chill and still smells like death.
This stuff should not be censored in anyway. It should be required watching in public/private schools. World leaders should be required to have these videos always playing in their presence. Foolishness that people seem to forget this vile evil took place. Complacent and entitled fools on the left and right. Ignorant equally in their own way about these things. I'm enraged tiktok garbage gets 100,000,000s of views, and these a fraction. We will absolutely repeat the history weak people can't be worried to learn about.
@@brianmaitai7685 Thank you kindly, sir! If we, as a species in the first world countries, saw the absolute horror of war in our formative years, we wouldn't be so gung-ho for more war. In fact, it would likely prevent wars after a couple generations went through seeing those things in their curriculum. To hell with it making people upset. Upset is when those pansies never see it, get drafted, and die on a battle field. All, because they were too sensitive to see the truth of war. The magnitude of impact on our fellow humans. Anyway, thank you and hopefully more and more people will begin thinking this way. It shouldn't take a hundred-million dead war massacre every 50 years to remind us how god awful and insane it all is.
I saw this uncut some years back... there's one guy they show for a second...what it looks like when you've gone cannibal. What it looks like when you're no longer Human.
Criminal exceptions aside, it is interesting to note all the German women walking freely about, unr# ped, and unmolested, among American soldiers. Contrast that with the experience of the German women in Berlin and the Soviet conquered areas, with the 100,000 r# pes in Berlin (with 10,000 dying from these attacks) alone, and up to 2 million women victims in all of Germany. This was not the conduct of a civilized country. It doesn’t speak well of the Soviet Union. I know, I know, the Germans were grossly criminal in the countries they conquered, no arguments, but ask a German woman, attacked by 20-30 men in one day, if two wrongs make a right.
You expected rapes committed by the allies to be shown in this film? And there were many, many indeed. As for the Soviet zone: the question was not if, but how many times a German woman was raped. A nun, a 5-years old girl or 70-years old woman, it did not matter.

For those complaining about the censorship, a quick google search reveals other sources to view this series. Some appear to be region locked, one is behind a paywall and the third is supposed to be industry only.
So it sounds as though the uploader chose to blur the dead bodies in this free and accessible to all version and if one would like to view the non-blurred version, one must pay for quality content in some manner. Geez.... it almost sounds like all these trembling twits blaming the ''wokes" should be blaming, wait for it.... capitalism.
I have no problem with the censorship in this case as it allows me to watch with my kids, it is their education - more than entertainment of adults - that is most important in this case IMO
Maybe .....being responsible to the 100s of millions of children who may watch this (and whose education will serve history better), as more important than the sense of entitlement of some history buff viewers?? Just a guess. You can find all the gory burnt bodies that we've all seen in many other channels. Otherwise, you can find this documentary on a paid service. TH-cam is free, you are not having anything taken away cause you didnt pay for anything to begin with, and its not all about you, so stop whining and put on yer big boy pants and enjoy what you can PS given that lots of youtube videos that are similar show all the skeletal dead and burnt bodies etc. its maybe not their decision but one of the channel/producer. Anyway, you have options...

They're trying hard though. I saw most of them before they were censored. I suspect in a hundred years, nobody will know what happened because of wokeys like youtube

@ 23:03 As a Rush fan, Lead singer, Geddy Lee's parents both met here and were rescued together, giving the free world, one of the best bass guitarists of our generation - Keep history alive, or we will repeat it!
I'm quite fond of rush and did not know this. Thank you!
Only fools think this was the only bad thing that ever happened, or that somehow knowing about them will prevent future bad things. Put on your big boy pants.
I am so glad that they made the townspeople to go thru the camps to see the horrible atrocities that they turned their back to
My dad -- a Sargeant in the 45th Thunderbirds Division -- was there during the liberation of Dachau. After viewing footage like this, it's easy to understand why he never talked about it.
So did my Grandfather, Aloysius Kevin Quinn!
@@annevaccari8843 God bless your grandfather.
God bless your Dad.
@@philipmulville8218 That's nice of you. Thank you!
This Film piece must never, ever be lost.
And the blurred out parts shown to the world!
I visited Dachau in 1995 and I left a different person. If people don’t know about the atrocities, how can we ever hope to prevent them from happening again. Next time, and I feel a “next time” may be coming, it could be us and our families. I feel there is a vested interest in not allowing history to be learned because it empowers the people and “they” don’t want that.
That’s why they still stand today. The Dachaus, the aushwitzs and the buchenwolds are all a reminder of what once happened. My grandfather liberated Dachau in 1945. I actually just posted a comment about him.
Remember this as Anti-Semitism is rising up around the world. First, islam will come for the Saturday people, then they will come for the Sunday people.
If we don't LEARN FROM HISTORY!!! WE ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT!!!..
Visiting Dachau in 1973 also had a huge impact on me. I had visited Yad Vashem in 1966, but was such a youngster that a fair bit went over my head. Dachau made it all become very real. There was a Protestant church there and a pastor showed me his prisoner tatoo. I think it was Martin Niemoller, but I failed to record his name so am just guessing.
I know quite a few people that have been there and they said the same and were indeed noticeably different upon their return. Some went religious and others said they felt a terrible paranormal presence there (and had to rethink everything) where before they would absolutely mock anything of that nature.
My father in law said he was one of the American soldiers who helped to liberate Dachau but beyond saying that it was horrible he would say nothing further. He was 25 at the time and came home safely from the war. Really a nice,nice man!
Blanking out the atrocities is an insult to all those poor people who died. Shame on you TH-cam .
Best. Statement. Ever.
They would have sponsored this back then. We are living in 1930’s Germany RIGHT NOW!!
Would TH-cam take the video down if it was uncensored?
Agreed
@jadedone6900 Certainly not so to the families.
If you ever visit Dachau. The atmosphere is haunting. I went there with a group of friends in my 20's. We all left the place speechless
Army sent me there, 1966-67-68...
I pray one day we all experience world peace. Just a beautiful thought..
it is a nice thought, but very naive
And you may say I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one
Not if Trump gets it tho not much chance
Pity we could not have sent him to war .. but he would not have the guts to
This is so emotional seeing it in color. What a wonderful addition! Thank you! It makes it so much more relatable to see, and the importance of it is immense.
It;s incomprehensible what war can do to people and thier cities,and still it goes on.
That is precisely why the United Nations was created...
@@geoland09yeah... one of the most unuseful organizations created
We as a species engage in war often, across the globe, for a multitude of reasons and justifications. It's comprehensive on every level. Maybe you cant comprehend it or justify it as a third party, but even if It may be unwanted, you can't say we as a collective don't understand the toll of war on those either directly or indirectly involved in it. Hell, war has existed for approximately 4700+ years.
In fact it isn’t war but what humans do to other humans and yes, it continues today and is just as horrific.
Yes, in Gaza by those whose ancestors were the victims of genocide. Do people ever learn anything good?
I have been to Dachau, Bergen-Belsen and Mittelbrau-Dora. What I felt as a 7 yr old was profound sadness on level that I can not put into words. I remember crying the whole time I was at each site. Just thinking about it now brings a crushing feeling of sadness and horror that I will probably never shake. I wish that my dad had not taken me to these places but in a way, I am glad he did. I will never be able to forget what I saw and the stories that I heard there. Chills my bones to this very day. Never forget.
I'd add on to never forget, never perpetrate something similar on other people.
I went to Dachau at 21 as I thought it was something I should see for myself. I could not even go in but I certainly remember those gates. I was overwhelmed by the ghastly atmosphere. I’ve never been able to describe it.
In my opinion every person in Europe should go and witness these places. Every. Single. Person. Because it wasn't just the Germans butchering people, most nations in Europe had collaborators more than willing to kill those different from themselves.
…Yes like Abu Ghraib in Irak as well Guantánamo Bay Cuba…💀🫵🏼🇺🇸
@@brunokirchensittenbach9294 those were brutal prisons. Dachau was a factory of death.
I hate all the censorship in these documentaries - it's important to recognize the horrible events- no matter the visible nature of the events
the narration is hardly historically accurate as well
Antisemitism, what else?
There's lots out there if you want to see all the skeletal and burnt bodies. If you want to educate young people (as your comment suggests) than IMO blurring out the severe stuff makes perfect sense, and in fact one may realize serves history better once they get over their sense of personal entitlement (on a free platform, no less lol).
@@casario2808 I do understand what you are saying- there just a lot of denial of the Holocaust going on these days. The frank horror of it all does seem to hurt people..especially those whose families were the victims
@@casario2808 You are missing the point. The money driven corporation that is TH-cam is requiring the whitewashing of actual, historical disturbing events. People need to see these images, not for some cheap thrill, but to bear witness to first hand documentation of these events... before the footage is doctored or manipulated to the point of uncertainty of what was original footage.
I visited that concentration camp some 40 years later, and this soldier had tears in his eyes.
May God bless you, John.
I watch this video 7th times in a row. Thank you for all the hardwork and sharing this piece of history.
Astounding!! Colour brings it too life it almost could have been filmed yesterday.
Given the fact that colour film was exceedingly rare, it may indeed have been filmed yesterday. One wonders about the sudden appearance of colour in all sorts of WWII presentations after so many decades of black and white. Perhaps one should check the files if Hollywood films as sources?
Years ago I visited Dachau. It was a cold,dreary day in March and that was fitting given what I saw. Dark,frightening...I'll remember it until the day I die.
I went there in the summer of 1988. The place was…cold. Strangely, unnaturally cold. Given the history, I shouldn’t have been surprised. But I was.
@@tonyjones1560 i also visited Dachau in the summer of 88, I was newly married and extended my tour. when she came to be with me in 89 I made sure to take her and a couple others to visit it as I changed duty stations from Schwabish Hall to Stuttgart..both times it was summer, 88 was cold and rain all year.
WOW.Ihave never saw this footage before,and I am 61 yrs old.Splendid,just splendid I say.Many thanks.
I can't believe this was never released. This is the most the amazing ww2 series I ever seen
I have seen documentaries in black and white, uncensured a decade ago. Nowadays, it seems they want to keep us away from reality and a past that should not be forfotten.
What do you mean released? Aren't you watching it on TH-cam? What? What do you need? What more do you need? It's still the truth
@alysononoahu8702 this film was found recently in someone's home archives from their private collection. I grew up watching world war II documentaries with my grandfather because he served in the war. They never had any in color. TH-cam is a serious blessing. George Stevens collection I believe.
Always remember, so we never forget.
Half of America have no clue and are chanting the same battle cries as we speak.
There are people who, to this day, believe it never happened. That is beyond my understanding.
Same people that believe the Earth is flat
I don't think they truly believe it never happened, I think they're just trying to be edgy. And failing miserably
They are called MAGA.
Many are on the wide path-
Not just in color but high quality compared to the majority of WW2 film. Narration not all correct but this is a FINE series. TY
"...even the tears of a warrior are understandable" is such a good line
❤️🩹
Their beautiful precious faces finally realizing their liberation. They have suffered more than most could endure. Seeing the young prisoners walking around in their threadbare striped inmate attire with no shoes walking on the mud, it looks so cold, so cruel and so desolate.
😪😪😪
Yes, poor Germans, they only began the WW2, which caused 60 million deaths (25 millons Soviet soldiers and civilians). Poor, poor Germans...
I’m now starting the third video in a row. Thank you so much for another great documentary with superb narration. 😊❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
1. Of your best
@@FreeDocumentaryHistory I did and knowing me, as I do, I will enjoy it again (and again). ❤️❤️
Lol yep, binge watcher here too! Absolutely fascinating.
We're you aGerman Soldat?
although I am almost 80 years after 1945, and 10000 km away from Dachau concentration camp,
every time I watch the concentration camp liberated, I tear.
People today think that the past was bland black and white world but these films bring it to life .
🤬 History should never be censored 🙉🙊🙈
Then go pay for uncensored history or make your own content. This is a free platform, Son.
Just distorted by the victors 🤷🏻♂️
I highly recommend Primo Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz (If This is a Man)," if you struggle to understand what the inmates experienced. I have never read anything so poetic and horrifying at the same time. This history is vitally important for the whole world to understand, and somehow is becoming lost. When I was a kid, this book was very well known (and I grew up in the 1990's!).
i have to disagree with the events being forgotten. At least not in Europe. Germany and Austria regularly show documentaries, acknowledge anniversaries of events back then. There are regular exhibitions - and when i say regularly I mean one of more of these events per week.
Im a teacher. They (administrators) will not let us teach it, like it used to be.
The instant I see censorship I'm out of here. I find censorship of horror despicable because you learn nothing if you see nothing. No one yearns for images of mass death but how the hell do we learn anything when we see nothing?
Thankyou for this colour presentation of the final days of the 3rd Reich. I watch all I can on WW2 and it refreshing to see it in colour.
Censorship not only ruins everything but it also helps perpetuate the hatred, violence and atrocities that this documentary is presenting.
At 18:24 and 19:06 there is for a few seconds a rare shot of an M26 Pershing heavy tank, these were only just coming into service in 1945 and were meant to combat the German Tigers and King Tigers. Lovely to see and in colour.
Germany sowed the winds of war, and it reaped the HURRICANE
It is imperative for us to teach ourselves and educate our children; if we don't, then only God can help us overcome our own ignorance!!
Fantastic quality of the color film in this series. Thanks for the uploads.
Amazing film. Wonderful piece of history. Thank you.
Why is a historical video censored 🤬
Because the content creator has no responsibility to you when they decide to upload anything, historical or not, for your FREE viewing. If you would like to view the non-blurred version, I am certain the series is available for a small fee. Capitalism, amiright?
Maybe because Brittish bombers hit the alpine fortress
In history it said the americans did it
@dvhughesdesign nothing to do with the content creator. It's woke sensitive you tube
The color film 🎥 brings it to life 👍🏾
Much more emotional
Completely agree. The colour film and music put with it makes it feel hauntingly real.
Google really needs to develop an algorithm that allos the adults with feels that don't hurt easily to watch the uncensored versions of these videos.
When I log in on a public library computer with Windows and Edge as a browser, I get a message on my phone that there is a log in on MacOS. Do you really think such clowns can make such an algorithm so that only adults can see unfiltered footage?
The content creator uploads them blurred. Google/YT have nothing to do with it.
Wanna watch the non-blurred? I am sure you can find it somewhere off of this FREE platform.
@dvhughesdesign no. It's youtube. I've seen these docos unblurred. This only started a while ago. It IS you tube
Spoilt by the masking some of the scenes, the scenes needed to be shown in the truth of what the Germans did.
There is a movie/documentary called Night Will Fall. It’s footage from the Allies that shows clearly the deliverance of the camps. Through Hitchcocks genius it clearly shows how close to the camps German communities were. I’d give it 300 stars…..and that isn’t even enough. This is not a film for anyone under 18. Even a person younger couldn’t handle it, even if their interests lie there
Very well done let history not be forgotten
Thank you for this brilliant documentary 💚
My grandfather passed through Dachau and was liberated by American soldiers. His name was Yakiv Kochyn and unfortunately, he didn't live to see me born. They convinced him to immigrate to US before soviet soldiers came, but he was young and decided to come back home to his family to Zhytomyr Region in soviet Ukraine. Fortunately, his two brothers, two sisters and father survived the war, which was incredible luck for a Ukrainian family of that time.
Excellent documentary, so much new content I have never seen
Link to uncensored version?
The atrocities to people, the murders, the torture, the devastation, the ever lasting mental & physical repercussions. I wish a link, without censorship, could be made available.
I can’t even imagine how the city leaders could decide where to begin to repair such destruction.
It's still amazing that one insane monster could deceive millions to end lives of millions more and for what? May it never happen again. Great footage this needs shown in American high schools and Universities.
It is happening right now in Ukrain.
Could there be a more simplistic version of WWII 🤔
Same rhetoric being spewed today in the u.s as we speak.
Thank America 🇺🇸 great job for liberating the mankind 🦾🦾🦾🙏🙏🙏💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

It was NOT all USA
They came in the last near end of war
Britain was there RIGHT from the start
They tried to get USA to come on board for ages but they would not
They
came in near the end acting like they alone one won the war
@@lynda4661 to whom are you referring to?
A telegram back to his parents had by one US serviceman who was there just said "Mum, I now know why we fought."
what a ridiculous nonsense, to blur images of a documentary.
TheGermans look shattered and beaten down, but the overwhelming majority of them loved it when Hitles was in power, committing historic atrocities on a scale never before seen.
I was stationed in Regensburg in 67 just south of Dachau. Would drop off supplies on the way to Munich. There was still war damage.
My father once told me about entering bergan belson and some of the horrors that he witnessed too terrible to repeat and nightmares for the rest of his life and then the other day i heard that ROSEANNE BARR DENIED THAT IT EVER HAPPENED the rage that im still feeling stops me from continuing
But doesn't she have JEWISH background???
It does absolutely astound me that anyone could deny such damage that was done.
Yeah, my grandfather liberated Dachau, he never told anyone about what he saw. He told my cousin and I vaguely. But it wasn’t until years later when I was watching the military channel they showed after the liberation of Dachau and it was horrifying.
Big deal. Roseanne Barr denied it. That doesn’t have any bearing at all on the Holocaust. It happened.
Deniers are a nightmare. Perhaps she is mentally ill now ? But it is gut-wrenching to hear this.
I think my dad was in Dachau right after it was liberated and had to help with clean up. He never talked about it and we knew better than to ask. He did say that the German civilians knew what was going on but were powerless to do anything. Years later my parents went to Germany as the first Christian missionaries and started a church in Munich and later at the Dachau camp on the German side. My dad hated Germany but loved the people that he had met there at the end of the war and remained friends with them his whole life. I've been to Dachau many times, usually with visitors from the US . They have videos that the Americans took are very disturbing and the whole place gives you a chill and still smells like death.
I find the censorship of these historical documents to be offensive.
watch the unedited version in the george stevens D-DAY to BERLIN dvd
Where can you find that?

I hope that kind american soldier that gave that kid chocolates, lived well… if he survived the war…
My mother was a month old when this was filmed. She will be 79 in 2024.
amazing footage ive never seen before .Thankyou
Many thanks for sharing.
This stuff should not be censored in anyway. It should be required watching in public/private schools. World leaders should be required to have these videos always playing in their presence.
Foolishness that people seem to forget this vile evil took place. Complacent and entitled fools on the left and right. Ignorant equally in their own way about these things.
I'm enraged tiktok garbage gets 100,000,000s of views, and these a fraction. We will absolutely repeat the history weak people can't be worried to learn about.
Amen. You sir are a rare breed of enlightened individual.
@@brianmaitai7685 Thank you kindly, sir!
If we, as a species in the first world countries, saw the absolute horror of war in our formative years, we wouldn't be so gung-ho for more war. In fact, it would likely prevent wars after a couple generations went through seeing those things in their curriculum. To hell with it making people upset. Upset is when those pansies never see it, get drafted, and die on a battle field. All, because they were too sensitive to see the truth of war. The magnitude of impact on our fellow humans.
Anyway, thank you and hopefully more and more people will begin thinking this way. It shouldn't take a hundred-million dead war massacre every 50 years to remind us how god awful and insane it all is.
For me personally, it is very sad to see how Vlasov’s army is moving in the opposite direction towards its extermination and its death.
Have you any idea of what vlasov army did 🤦♂️
Incroyable lorsqu'on pense que tout cela a réellement existé
These films were made so people would never forget, It should be criminal to blur out images of crimes against humanity.
Im so sick of TH-cam censoring this stuff we should all see this so we don't repeat it
I saw this uncut some years back... there's one guy they show for a second...what it looks like when you've gone cannibal. What it looks like when you're no longer Human.
Is trying to survive and eating a human mean you are no longer human? Just a question to ponder.
Why are these videos in spots blurred out?? Wtf, these are the things people need to see! Stop the censoring!
Criminal exceptions aside, it is interesting to note all the German women walking freely about, unr# ped, and unmolested, among American soldiers.
Contrast that with the experience of the German women in Berlin and the Soviet conquered areas, with the 100,000 r# pes in Berlin (with 10,000 dying from these attacks) alone, and up to 2 million women victims in all of Germany.
This was not the conduct of a civilized country. It doesn’t speak well of the Soviet Union.
I know, I know, the Germans were grossly criminal in the countries they conquered, no arguments, but ask a German woman, attacked by 20-30 men in one day, if two wrongs make a right.
You expected rapes committed by the allies to be shown in this film? And there were many, many indeed.
As for the Soviet zone: the question was not if, but how many times a German woman was raped.
A nun, a 5-years old girl or 70-years old woman, it did not matter.
Thank God that at least some lived and were liberated!
Thank you for a brilliant upload.❤

Only just now have i seen a documentary that tackles directly the end of ww2.
For those complaining about the censorship, a quick google search reveals other sources to view this series. Some appear to be region locked, one is behind a paywall and the third is supposed to be industry only.
So it sounds as though the uploader chose to blur the dead bodies in this free and accessible to all version and if one would like to view the non-blurred version, one must pay for quality content in some manner. Geez.... it almost sounds like all these trembling twits blaming the ''wokes" should be blaming, wait for it....
capitalism.
I have no problem with the censorship in this case as it allows me to watch with my kids, it is their education - more than entertainment of adults - that is most important in this case IMO
Great to see this history brought to light.
Well it was a good film until they thought war is to harsh for us to witness the damage .
Who the hell does YT think it is blurring out the bodies.
Silicon valley refuses to acknowledge the dark facts of human history
@@aeonsbeyond Yep ur right. As a kid I picked up a Holocaust book and its affected me deeply..but thats life...Stop wrapping kids up in cotton wool!!
Maybe .....being responsible to the 100s of millions of children who may watch this (and whose education will serve history better), as more important than the sense of entitlement of some history buff viewers?? Just a guess.
You can find all the gory burnt bodies that we've all seen in many other channels. Otherwise, you can find this documentary on a paid service. TH-cam is free, you are not having anything taken away cause you didnt pay for anything to begin with, and its not all about you, so stop whining and put on yer big boy pants and enjoy what you can
PS given that lots of youtube videos that are similar show all the skeletal dead and burnt bodies etc. its maybe not their decision but one of the channel/producer. Anyway, you have options...
