Thanksgivings indeed! good this, per usual!
Thank You all for everything You do!
Looking at the newspaper headline in the thumbnail through a modern lens, it screams bs.
Flat LIEING GOV newspaper headlines as ALWAYS
What a smartness orchestrating of that episode that shows women raptors ,thievery committed by the USSR soldiers, while both British & US showed they supported Holland 🇳🇱 citizens with foods from above. British and US witnessed concentration camps brutalities . Foundations of next futures cold war 🥶 were looming behind horizontal….
10 or so minutes about the title out of 50 total. This is why I do not watch this channel anymore.
Thank you (🙏time line )channel for sharing this magnificent epic
The historian say's Eisenhower said " leave France to the Russian's" what a load of cobbler's!! He and Churchill would never allowed it ffs.
FDR gave his life to WW2
The name of the CCCP soldier that hoisted the Red Flag on the Reichstag was NOT 'immortalised', he came from the Ukraine (along with the photographer).
It's kinda weird how the first 19 minutes of a video about Hitler's bunker and the last days inside the bunker have absolutely nothing to do with Hitler's bunker at all
Omg that baby crying is annoying asf!!! Trying to listen to this with that going is too much for me on my morning drive to work way to ducking annoying!!!
Fascinating stuff
anti russia dokumentary? what kind of biased intro is that.
I’ll tell you the REAL story my grandpa told me: He said he saw a door to some basement in west Germany… so he just kept kicking and kicking. Just damn tired the war hasnt ended yet. He saw some twerp with a rediculous moustache. He pulled the guy close and yelled “Welcome to DIE💀💀💀☠️☠️☠️!!!” And the scrawny worm got on his knees. He was brought to a secret place where churchill and stalin drank vodka and watched him die a very slow death at the end of a noose.
How could God allow the concentration camps? Heck, in the old testament, God commands people to do things like that.
Is that really how he died? There's a whole series dedicated to finding out what really happened.. like whether he escaped to Argentina or was on one of the last flights out etc. They maintain that Russia can't clearly prove what happened. I personally doubt he tried to run.
Germany never had any chance to win WWII.
Its soldiers were just cannon fodder.
This was exceptionally well done. Riveting documentary.
Germans are lucky to still have a nation
The most beautiful flag was the red German flag with the swastika on it.
🇩🇪💪🏼
🇷🇺💪🏼
Animals don't do nothing against German people but no animal could do that they were all right insane😮
When this video mentions Russia it does so in obvious Usa Propaganda terms.
Come on now I've been in the military you know better or not is a nut why didn't y'all just take take him out I'm not a racist just you and him kill so many people for no for no reason at all white supremacy German come on history is history you know you're done wrong like your documentary but the truth is is it true they were all nuts
