A lot of the coverage in this series is upsetting, and can be quite emotionally taxing to write. Sparty covers this in his personal Instagram, where he often posts a behind the scenes photo that accompanies a video. Take a look here: https://www.instagram.com/spartacusolsson/
Never forget
Never forget.
Absolutely heart breaking.
At 00:46 which part of Kolkata is that footage of ? and where is that footage from ?
The last statement was so powerful that I copied transcript as best I could.
"Like an avalanche of countless pebbles rolling down a hill, the dead of this war take with them the loved ones they left behind. Husbands, wives, parents, grandparents, siblings, family, and friends will long be left rolling from the terrible force that pummeled them in these distant years. They will remain in painful motion down that slope long after the dead have come to rest further back on this dark hill of humanity. Then with the gentle stroke of time, the hill flattens out into the rolling meadows of mourning and memory. At the slowly fading echo of their voices, their scent, their laughter, and the terrible cries of their unjust end sends vibrations that time again sets new pebbles in motion.
For the sake of your children, their children, for all the generations to come, do not go up that hill. Do not tread the path to where it began. Do not set the pebbles rolling. For it began there on that peak and it begins with only one Pebble thrown in anger, fear, and hatred.
Never forget."
Hello, I am a deaf person, I need official subtitles, not automatic subtitles. is it possible to add official subtitles?
I wonder if Langheld said the things that he said purely to save his own neck, or, because he realized that the Russians were eventually going to beat Germany and he wanted to mitigate reprisals on the "master race's" civilians. At any rate, he was wrong. Hitler and his buddies only fed pre-existing attitudes in the German population. I lived two doors away from a Jewish family for over twenty years. If the Jews are trying to take over our planet, then that's news to me. Those people were the exact opposite of the standard anti-semitic stereotypes.
Hi Sparty
Another week full of murder and atrocities.
Though its show trail,it showcased how nazis don't feel remorse for their crime.
Never forget.
Roland Freisler sounds like a real monster. He's lucky he never stood trial
So what's humanity gotta do with this?
I watched yesterday but my mind floated back to it today and then I started wondering if I'd left a comment. I couldn't think of what I'd written so and I did watch kind of late so I decided to come back and check. The part about the woman never celebrating her birthday struck me the most. That's what I was thinking about before I started wondering if I'd left a comment or not. I was also thinking about Remarque's sister and the Hanging Judge earlier today. I always get a kick out of people who are willing to denounce the war in public, even if they generally wind up dead. Never forget.
Spoiler: Both Rietzel and Freisler were killed by Allied Bombings. So the Bombing Campaigns achieved some good after all.
Sparty and the team I can't applaud you enough, making so much from these (not so old) dejectional actions of humanity. Never was I given the opportunity to learn about the "brilliant" and "courageous" actions of the Wehrmacht vs Greek civilians; nor the first trial against Holocaust's perpetrators in USSR. Let's hope we never forget; let's hope you guys can cope and keep the excellent work!
"… I have never celebrated my birthday." Thank you, Spartacus! I know this depraved, inhuman stuff is difficult to research, searing to write, daunting to even read. But we, your listeners, must know, must learn — for the forces that caused these atrocities are at work still today, and if we've learned anything, we must oppose them HERE and NOW. This year, this Christmas, next year, however long it takes, SUPPORT UKRAINE! "Likes" don't count.
that testimony ending at 10:38 sounds a bit too close to home . . .
Very glad that I never tolerated any "Honorable Wehrmacht" hogwash. Their crimes were incomprehensible on scale and cruelty. Stalin's joke about executing 50,000 of them is pretty amusing in hindsight and maybe they should have adhered to it despite Churchill's huffing and puffing. Though I'll admit my feelings like that are more outbursts from visceral disgust I feel towards that whole army. Especially since they are venerated by many military historians and enthusiasts, who whenever you bring up the Wehrmacht's crimes they dismiss it as "politics".
To be honest, Stalin had been acting in the same way against to his own people
Of cource Nazi deserved , any conviction
RAFS black thursday
ZERO CENSORSHIP = 100% THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever since I randomly stumbled across this channel a few weeks ago I am thoroughly enjoying this channel and appreciate the efforts Spartacus and Co. are doing to educate people so that we may never forget. There are so many things about the war that I have not learned of until I started watching the war against humanity series. I always knew the Nazis were evil and knew about the Holocaust but never knew in detail of the many atrocities committed by them. I greatly appreciate this channel for educating me further on the war and discovering things about it that I never knew until now. Thank you Spartacus and Co. for doing this, never forget.
Never forget.
This massacre (in Greece) reminds me of that in my county Wyszkow, Lipnik-Majorat on Sept 2,1944 where Wermacht executed 444 civilians, and peasants for helping Resistance (AK/Home army) attacking retreating Germans on the Eastern front.
In the spirit of Host's final reflection: A poet Zbigniew Herbert (he did not get a Noble instead of …left-wing cowards like W.Szymborska) wrote a poem: To Hungarians (reflecting on the crushing of Budapest's Uprising uprising in 1956 by Soviet tanks); I could not have found it on the internet in English (this one not in Selected Poems by John@Bogdana Carpenter) – universal esp. now in all info availability at once.
Węgrom (wiersz klasyka)
Zbigniew Herbert
Stoimy na granicy
wyciągamy ręce
i wielki sznur z powietrza
wiążemy bracia dla was
z krzyku załamanego
z zaciśniętych pięści
odlewa się dzwon i serce
milczące na trwogę
proszą ranne kamienie
prosi woda zabita
stoimy na granicy
stoimy na granicy
stoimy na granicy
nazywanej rozsądkiem
i w pożar się patrzymy
i śmierć podziwiamy
1956
Spartacus, that was perhaps one of the best presentations or speeches I've ever heard. You are just brilliant in your work. I'm going to share this video far and wide. This episode should be shown to all high school students, just for the share power of your presentation. Keep up the great work.
Thank you.
Monsters are still amongst us!
That poor woman never celebrates her birthday. It was the day of such a massacre. The horror.
Can't stand this dude. He virtue signals and spouts all kinds of lovely ideals. But he's got no idea about the real history, the fact that we were in a war of national survival. Britain stood alone for two years. This wasn't a game of cricket it was war. And Germany elected Hitler, he didn't come to power with a coup. Either you support the defeat of Nazi Germany or you don't. This NPC wants to have it both ways and that's not the way it works historically. Every action Britain took was to end the war quicker, thus saving countless lives.
Imagine how long would the video be if it mentioned all attrocities that we have no record, specially in China. If so much was happening in Europe alone I can't comprenhend the scale of what was going on in China. Never forget
I know it's easy for me to say in my comfortable house at the distance of so many years, but Harris really should have stood trial at Nuremburg.
It was wrong, we knew it, and worse we had the data showing targeting of civilians for bombing doesn't work – Harris ordered it anyway.
…and in spite of everything civilians are being bombed by war criminals in Ukraine this very day – why we should never forget.
Here we are, witnessing the brutal Russian war against Ukraine. It is incomprehensible in our time to see the senseless killing of people. Yet it happens, all over the planet. Humanity must never again be complicit in allowing such to happen. The Nazis were truly evil.
The real war against the world is happening now. The elite woke EXTREMISTS are destroying values, natural order and anything that relates to sanity!!!
In the book "Alien" about being English married to a German living in Germany during WWII, the author writes about bombings in Berlin, most people went to a basement "safe" area, and quickly learned NO ONE could say anything about the bombings, even expressing fear was dangerous. There was a "rat" in almost every building. They would be rewarded for denouncing anyone, and her being English, she was especially at risk. Anything other than, "This is nothing, I know our planes are paying the English back double, even triple, for every bomb dropped." Things like that were GOOD, as saying nothing was even suspect. People spouted to their children "Do not be afraid Hitler will protect us!" even though they knew it was nonsense. The fear, when the war really came home to them all (after Stalingrad), made no one brave anymore.
The pretense is strong in this one.
Pebble thrown in fear and anger…sounds like ANTIFA to me!
When I started watching I thought that this tube might be a little boring, it seemingly being a man talking to camera. What followed was 18 minutes of some of the most compelling narrative I have listened to. Utterly well done. It is a fine thing to give these long dead people a voice.
Wait what? Guillotine wow never knew the germans used such a method, based on photos it seemed to be for the most part at thru means of immediate cease of life of a person, bullets and gas was the method.
