[video=youtube;6lQ7Megawm4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lQ7Megawm4&feature=channel_video_title[/video] Watching this made me pretty sad
Just watching this video, I think, all those people. Who once were are not. Those people who were in tanks, in trenches, in mortars, on MG's, rushing those hills. Dodging bullets, killing other human beings. Talking to each other before a ambush or a gun shot went off, or a tank that was lost int he desert and the crew killed, or a body left to rot in the ground. People who ran across snow, mud, slush, dug caves.. Truly something remarkable about war. It's a sad thing, but it's true. So many people put their life on the line, for what? Germany had amazing technology and weaponry. They were great fighters, but what they were doing was all for the wrong reason.
So many individual minds savagely removed from existence due to the hatred one man had for a specific ethnicity.
It seems so much realer in colour
i wish they had sound
As our world grows larger our conflicts seem to get smaller. I wonder if total war will even be a relevant term in our future.

Here, one with sound: [video=youtube;nzaKWuMj7os]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzaKWuMj7os&feature=channel_video_title[/video]
I feel for the men of the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and the Kriegsmarine. They thought they were fighting for their country, not for some crazy man's ideals. Most of them didn't even know what the SS and Gestapo were doing.
I've seen so much footage already of ww2 and i still can't imagine being there.

I wonder if all the Germans fighting on the Eastern Front in 44' and 45' knew that there was no way they could win.
Well since many shot themselves to get back to germany, yeah. Many POWs died on the eastern front so surrendering wasn't really an option.
Didn't some officers desert with their men and flee west towards the allies?

They wouldn't face a summary execution if they were captured there.
Makes me wish that I was alive in that time so I could take part in WW2. It was the last noble war.
[QUOTE=critein_protein;34945518]Makes me wish that I was alive in that time so I could take part in WW2. It was the last noble war.[/QUOTE] What. Explain. How could you possibly WANT to take part of a war? And especially one like WW2?
[QUOTE=critein_protein;34945518]Makes me wish that I was alive in that time so I could take part in WW2. It was the last noble war.[/QUOTE] Noble? The allies firebombed several german towns, as well as the axis bombing london.

For some reason I feel more sympathy towards the German. Actually, the Red Army was rather the pillaging, raping and razing one.
At like 3:13 you see Russians running through rubble and in the background you can see an old man limping across the road.
[QUOTE=BloodYScar;34943699]WW2 wasnt really about the jews..[/QUOTE]I was talking about everyone who died.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uohoV-rZltc[/media] I know I said this in one of the other WWII in color threads, but I feel bad knowing there will never be combat like there was in WWII. I mean, all deaths and atrocities aside, WWII was what I consider the last full blown war in terms of combat. There will never be a tank battle like the Battle of Kursk. There will never be hundreds of thousands of men running across fields together while attacking some city. As shitty as war is, I'm just speaking in terms of the amazing battles that once were and not in terms of loss of life (even though that's basically the whole point of war).
[QUOTE=proch;34947596]For some reason I feel more sympathy towards the German. Actually, the Red Army was rather the pillaging, raping and razing one.[/QUOTE] fuck i hate these type of comments. Basically everyone did wrong things in war, you cant just say "Oh they were worse than them" I mean i know red army did wrong things but don't you think that the Russians would want to do that sort of stuff after what germany did to them? Especially when concentration camps started getting found. So you'd act all calm and nice if you were the russians, ok.
