what the Germans allegedly did to the
101
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:21,560
world during the so-called good war no
102
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:23,800

worst war but also to Future

initially like a standard bombing run
152

Allied air war against Germany had
214
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,639
become a war of Massacre and Terror
215
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:07,920

congested cities is as great a threat to

00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:31,880
treasonous for members of the RAF to
269
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,880
criticize the bombing campaign the
270
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,440
conscience of some was overwhelmed by

the hell being Unleashed upon

being fried to death in melted ashfeld

will to on more bombs were devoted to
283
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,279
Berlin than any other German

City it is another place however that
285
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:11,240
has become most widely associated with
286
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:14,160
the terror campaign waged against
287

Germany
288
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,600
Dresden since Dresden had suffered only

00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:21,720
two small raids in the 5 years of war
290
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,560
many assumed that the city's salvation
291
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:27,720
was due to its Irreplaceable Treasures
292
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:30,800
ornate palaces world-renowned museums
293
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:33,240
and art galleries its towering centuries

00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,240
old
295
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,680
Cathedrals others surmised that since
296
00:14:36,079 --> 00:14:40,600
Dresden had almost no heavy industry and
297
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,440
what little it did have had no bearing
298
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:46,519
on the war the enemy simply did not deem
299
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,519
the city a viable

302
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,279
logical
303
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,000
answer still others thought that perhaps
304
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,519
it was the estimated half million
305
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,040
refugees jamming the city many who had
306
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:09,519
fled Soviet atrocities in the East that
307
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:12,160
kept Dresden safe from
308
00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:14,839
bombing despite the dire situation as
309
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,279
War closed in droners were determined on
310
00:15:14,839 --> 00:15:20,279
the night of February 13th to enjoy an
311
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:22,800
annual event known in America as mardig
312
00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:25,320
but celebrated in Germany as
313
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,040
fashing women and children along with
314
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,639
the few remaining men many in costume
315
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,440
flooded the streets of Dresden to
316
00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:35,040
celebrate the event one last time before
317
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:38,560
Germany's looming
318
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:41,800
defeat just before 10 pm Sirens began
319
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,800
wailing there was no Panic most
320
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,319
residents simply ignored the
321
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,959
sounds even had there been any air raage
322
00:15:46,319 --> 00:15:51,279
shelters few would have fled to them for
323
00:15:48,959 --> 00:15:54,920
there seemed little doubt On This Cold
324
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:57,120
Yet cheery night that like the 171 false
325
00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:00,480
alarms which had preceded it this
326
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:03,000
warning too would end in
327
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,600
nothing however instead of the all clear
328
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,079
siren a short time later Dresden heard
329
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,519
another sound a sound similar to a
330
00:16:08,079 --> 00:16:12,600
rolling
331
00:16:09,519 --> 00:16:15,000
earthquake as wave after wave of RAF
332
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,959
bombers appeared overhead thousands of
333
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,959
bombs tumbled
334
00:16:18,319 --> 00:16:24,519
down added to the normal payload of high
335

336
00:16:24,519 --> 00:16:30,800
Blockbuster bombs slammed into Dresden

340

seconds at the railroad station hundreds
341
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,160
of individuals who had refused to leave
342
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,800
their highly coveted train seats were
343
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:48,079
blown to bits at the huge indoor circus
344
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,319
Spectators performers and animals were
345
00:16:48,079 --> 00:16:53,120
slaughtered by blast and hissing
346
00:16:50,319 --> 00:16:56,440
shrapnel well-marked hospitals were
347
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:59,440

348
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,120
at top the bridges over the elb river
349
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,880
costumed revelers with Nowhere to Run
350
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:10,000
were slain by the
351
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,000
thousands without letup the massacre
352
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:16,000
continued and then the roar above ceased
353
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,919
the explosions stopped and there was
354
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,640
quiet once
355
00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:22,880
more several minutes later the welcomed
356
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,280
silence was broken by the even more
357
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:28,319
welcomed sound of the all clear
358
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,640
signal what had seemed an allight trial
359
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:34,200
by fire had actually occurred in just
360
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:36,039
under half an hour in those 30 minutes
361
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,440
however one of the world's most
362
00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:41,000
beautiful architectural Treasures had
363
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,000
all but

seemingly
370
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:03,080
arrived no one however was at all
371
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:06,320
emotionally prepared for what came
372
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:09,120
next at 1:30 a.m. the Earth began to
373
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:12,000
tremble once again as more than a
374
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:15,280
thousand bombers roared overhead a rain
375
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,159
of death showered down on
376
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:22,360
Dresden in addition to explosives the
377
00:18:18,159 --> 00:18:25,080
second wave bought tons of incendiary
378

bombs in a matter of minutes the
379

00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,919
debris and a racing furnace of flame
381
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,640
erupted unfamiliar with the bombing
382
00:18:31,919 --> 00:18:35,760
raids and firestorms most droners
383
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,400
reacted
384
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,559
slowly many sought safety in sellers
385
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:44,320
again not realizing that the terrific
386
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:46,880
heat would transform their Havens into
387
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,720
ovens others ran for safety through the
388
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:53,840
streets only to become mired in melting
389
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:57,039
asphalt or sucked into the Roaring

below throughout the night the fiery
394
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,880
hell that was dresed in claimed victims
395
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:12,840
by the thousands by the tens of
396
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:16,109
thousands and by the hundreds of

[Music]
398
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:24,480
thousands the following day when the
399
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:27,280
fires had cooled rescue workers went to
400
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,840
work never would I have thought that
401
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:32,200
death could come to so many people in so
402
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,679
many different
403
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:38,880
ways sometimes the victims looked like
404
00:19:34,679 --> 00:19:41,480
Ordinary People apparent peaceful
405
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,840
sleeping faces of others were racked
406
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:47,480
with pain the bodies stripped almost
407
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:50,600
naked by the
408
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:53,919
tornado there were wretched refugees
409
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:56,760
from the East clad only in rags and
410
00:19:53,919 --> 00:19:58,840
people from the Opera in all their
411
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:02,960
finery
412
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:05,880
here the victims was a shapeless slab
413
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,880
there a layer of
414
00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:12,640
Ashes across the city along the streets
415
00:20:10,039 --> 00:20:15,200
wafted the unmistakable stench of
416
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,200
decaying
417
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,240
flesh indeed of all the Hideous scents
418
00:20:18,159 --> 00:20:24,280
wafting through Dresden sulfur gas
419
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,440
sewage the heavy stench of cooked flesh
420
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,039
blanketed
421
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,960
all what were at first mistake taken to
422
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:33,080
be thousands of burnt logs scattered
423
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,720
about the streets were soon found to be
424
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:39,080
charred corpses glued to the surface
425
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:43,080
each reduced to roughly 3
426
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:45,720
ft one shape I will never forget was the
427
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,679
remains of what had apparently been a
428
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:51,880
mother and the child they had shriveled
429
00:20:48,679 --> 00:20:55,600
and charred into one pce and had been
430
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:58,880
stuck ridly to the asphalt they had just
431
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:01,840
been priced up the child must have been
432
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:04,520
underneath the mother because you could
433
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,919
still clearly see its shape with its
434
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,520
mother's arms clasped around
435
00:21:06,919 --> 00:21:12,080
it aware that those in the old city
436
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:14,240
would flee the Flames to the Open Spaces
437
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,799
the RAF had hurled hundreds of high
438
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:20,679
explosive bombs into the huge Central
439
00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:24,240
Park here the slaughter was ghastly torn
440
00:21:20,679 --> 00:21:27,039
off limbs mutilated torsos heads blown
441
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,940
from their bodies and hurled away the
442
00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:31,679
nightmare was everywhere
443
00:21:28,940 --> 00:21:34,080
[Music]
444
00:21:31,679 --> 00:21:36,440
I went down on my knees trembled and
445
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,320
cried several women laid there with
446
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:41,600
their bellies burst open and one could
447
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,720
see the babies for they were hanging
448
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:47,919
half outside many of the babies were
449
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:50,440
mutilated seems like that one I saw
450
00:21:47,919 --> 00:21:54,840
everywhere and very slowly one became
451
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,840
numbed one acted like a
452
00:21:55,039 --> 00:21:59,200
zombie the next morning words spread
453
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,039
that survivors should assemble in the
454
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:04,000
city park as the suffering Mass climbed
455
00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:05,960
over the debris and the dead they
456
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,679
reached the park as well as the grassy
457
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:13,080
banks of the elb some found missing
458
00:22:08,679 --> 00:22:16,919
loved ones most however did
459
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:20,400
not and then shattering the calm came
460
00:22:16,919 --> 00:22:23,039
the sounds once more the Roar of engines
461
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,120
overhead as us bombers began blasting
462
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:27,000
the rubble to dust American fighter
463
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:29,640
planes zeroed in on the thousands of
464
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,480
refugees at the park along the river and
465
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:35,480
in other Open
466
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,320

467
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,440
miraculously managed to survive the
468
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:43,000
bombing raids were strafed and
469
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,039
slaughtered a weeping zookeeper watched
470
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,799
as an American pilot chased down and
471
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:50,679
shot his last remaining
472
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:53,120
giraffe although the raid lasted only 10
473
00:22:50,679 --> 00:22:57,679
minutes the Americans returned the next
474
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:59,799
day and the next and the next seemingly
475
00:22:57,679 --> 00:23:01,600
determined that not a single living
476
00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:04,080
thing should survive in
477
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,080
Dresden one of the horrors for those who
478
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:09,000
had survived the nightmare was recovery
479
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:11,080
of the Dead initially bodies were
480
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,159
pitched forked onto trucks and wagons
481
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,360
and then taken to shallow Graves on the
482
00:23:13,159 --> 00:23:17,919
outskirts of
483
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:19,760
Dresden it soon became clear that such a
484
00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:22,760
slow process could never handle the
485
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,640
enormous amount of bodies so huge grills
486
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,720
were fashioned from girds in various
487
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,919
parts of town and corpses were stacked
488
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,960
on them like logs
489
00:23:28,919 --> 00:23:33,600
when the piles reached roughly 10 ft
490
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,600
high and 30 ft wide flamethrowers were
491
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,600
used to ignite the
492
00:23:37,919 --> 00:23:42,760
mass one month after the massacre The
493
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,600
Dresden chief of police reported that
494
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:48,720
over 200,000 bodies had been recovered
495
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:51,600
from the ruins later the International
496
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:55,080
Red Cross estimated that
497
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:57,039
275,000 had died in the raids because of
498
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,799
the incredible density of dresden's
499
00:23:57,039 --> 00:24:01,840
population on the night of February uary
500
00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:04,559
13th through the 14th because thousands
501
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,200
of victims were refugees with no records
502
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:08,000
and because many bodies either lay
503
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,559
buried forever in the ruins or had
504
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,880
simply melted like Wax other estimates
505
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:17,120
which place the death toll at 300,000 to
506
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,120
400,000 May well be closer to the
507
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,679
mark more people died during the
508
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,840
firebombing of Dresden than during the
509
00:24:21,679 --> 00:24:26,840

513
00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:35,360
was a cowardly

the clouds mirrored an ongoing hell
539
00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:45,480
rising from the mud as Germans soon came
540
00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:47,600
to realize the Allied Powers sought not
541
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,720
only the physical destruction of Germany
542
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,880
but the spiritual Massacre of the nation

as well

the evil swept in from the East there
545
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,200
were constant rumors and hints about
546
00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:13,520
what might be expected should the Soviet

attempt to harden their will to
552
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,600
resist thus it was that on the night of
553
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,679
October 20th 1944
554
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,520

Red Army across the border what German
566
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,679
troops soon found was was

00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:04,320

Soviet shock troops were truly traumatic

it was the second wave of soldiers who
647
00:30:55,519 --> 00:31:01,519
delivered hell on Earth in numerous

fears were

00:31:26,279 --> 00:31:31,600
unfounded after a wait of sometimes days
660
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,200
but normally hours the dreaded second

men who formed the second wave of troops
665
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,320
were regarded even by their own comrades
666
00:31:43,399 --> 00:31:47,559
as utterly

express its hatred the Red Army said it
676
00:32:05,679 --> 00:32:10,159
best with

[Music]
678

679
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,919
the combat troops they came in and
680
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:20,240
wanted to see everything asked about
681
00:32:17,919 --> 00:32:23,320
weapons and soldiers looked at
682
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:25,360
everything closely didn't find anything
683
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:28,360
and were very friendly and then just
684
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,360
left
685
00:32:28,639 --> 00:32:33,919
and then the next lot
686
00:32:31,399 --> 00:32:35,000
arrived the next one took me outside
687
00:32:33,919 --> 00:32:37,720
straight
688
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:41,440
away my mother wanted to throw herself
689
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:44,600
in front of me but she was pushed
690
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:47,279
back and then they took me upstairs and
691
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,200
as I tried to defend myself he showed me
692
00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:52,960
his
693
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:54,440
gun and then when I came back down I was
694
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,880
well shocked
695
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:59,679
and but I was just happy that I was
696
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:02,120
still alive
697
00:32:59,679 --> 00:33:05,720

continued unabated
706
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,519
merely because a female had been raped
707
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:37,880
once was also no guarantee she would not
708
00:33:32,519 --> 00:33:41,120
be assaulted again and again and
709
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:45,399
again the Russians were coming and going

the whole time they kept eyeing us
711
00:33:45,399 --> 00:33:51,159
greedily the nights were Dreadful
712
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:54,360
because we were never safe for a moment
713
00:33:51,159 --> 00:33:58,559
the women were raped not once or twice
714
00:33:54,360 --> 00:34:01,519
but 10 20 30 and 100 times
715
00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:05,039
and if us all the same to the Russians
716
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:07,799

endure this onslaught of rape torture
722
00:34:21,839 --> 00:34:26,520
and murder but also the humiliation of
723
00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:28,040
having it witnessed by friends and
724

727
00:34:33,079 --> 00:34:37,679

recapturing the area the German soldiers
754
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,720
were horrified by what had happened to

forced over 300 captive Germans up
1131
00:53:00,319 --> 00:53:06,280
against a wall planted two machine guns
1132
00:53:03,319 --> 00:53:08,119
then ordered his men to open fire those
1133
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,200
still alive when the fusel lot ended

00:53:08,119 --> 00:53:13,079

Blood as a final touch the citizens of
1139
00:53:22,599 --> 00:53:27,119
daau were forced to bury the thousands
1140
00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:30,319
of corpses in the camp thereby assuring
1141
00:53:27,119 --> 00:53:33,480
the death of many more from disease few
1142
00:53:30,319 --> 00:53:35,119
Americans noticed because few cared but
1143
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:38,119
conditions in German cities and towns
1144
00:53:35,119 --> 00:53:39,920
were not much better than that at dcau
1145
00:53:38,119 --> 00:53:42,280
because of the round-the-clock American
1146
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:44,880
and British Air attacks week after week
1147
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:47,559
very little food and almost no medicine
1148
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:49,720

1149
00:53:47,559 --> 00:53:51,920
virtually none reached the numerous
1150
00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:54,640
concentration camps where during the

00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:58,079
last days disease and starvation Swept
1152
00:53:54,640 --> 00:54:00,160
Away the inmates by the thousands
1153
00:53:58,079 --> 00:54:04,000
the incident at DACA was merely one of
1154
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,000
many massacres committed by US

1156
00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:14,440
troops we had been held up at a little
1157
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:16,760
town we were supposed to just walk
1158
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:20,559
through it and the Germans stopped us
1159
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,559
dead we just couldn't crack
1160
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:28,359
it eventually artillery came
1161
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:28,359
in sort of leveled the house
1162
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:35,960
they finally surrendered and they came
1163
00:54:32,359 --> 00:54:39,119
out and sort of lined up and per usual
1164
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,119
no one knew what was going
1165
00:54:40,559 --> 00:54:47,920
on we had a new Battalion Commander just
1166
00:54:44,839 --> 00:54:51,640
graduated from West Point and he lined
1167
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:53,960
him up and said I want you to shoot
1168
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,880
him and I was
1169
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,400
horrified quite a few of us were
1170
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,440
horrified
1171
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:01,599
and I went to him and told him you know
1172
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:04,119
that this was against all international
1173
00:55:01,599 --> 00:55:07,559
law and
1174
00:55:04,119 --> 00:55:10,400
Humanity my good buddy who
1175
00:55:07,559 --> 00:55:12,559
I'd spent so much time with grab me and
1176
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:16,119
said this nut will shoot you you better
1177
00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:20,760
quit knock this off and and he got
1178
00:55:16,119 --> 00:55:24,119
enough guys and they shot these about 25
1179
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:27,280
prisoners it was a terrible thing to
1180
00:55:24,119 --> 00:55:29,359
see and I talked to a lot of my buddies
1181
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:34,240
who had shot these
1182
00:55:29,359 --> 00:55:34,240
guys and they were horrified
1183
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:40,880
too unaware of the deep hatred the
1184
00:55:38,079 --> 00:55:43,440
Allies harbored for them when proud SS
1185
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:45,240
units surrendered they naively assumed
1186
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,960
that they would be accorded respect as
1187
00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:49,680
the unsurpassed Fighters that they had
1188
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:51,640
proven to be as soon as they were
1189
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,440
disarmed most were slaughtered where
1190
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,799
they
1191
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:57,440
stood for those members of the German
1192
00:55:54,799 --> 00:55:59,599
military lucky enough to survive capture
1193
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,319
death often awaited behind the lines
1194
00:55:59,599 --> 00:56:03,920
where thousands more
1195
00:56:01,319 --> 00:56:06,640
perished with General Eisenhower turning
1196
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:08,680
a blind eye to the Geneva Convention
1197
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:11,119
only the threat of retaliation against
1198
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:15,119
Allied PS still held in Germany
1199
00:56:11,119 --> 00:56:15,119
prevented a massacre of prodigious
1200
00:56:15,839 --> 00:56:20,000
proportions soon after us combat
1201
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:22,559

the rear Echelon troops moved in the
1203
00:56:22,559 --> 00:56:27,359
reality of occupation became clear to
1204
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:29,799
the German citizens the second wave of
1205
00:56:27,359 --> 00:56:32,039
soldiers wanting to experience a bit of
1206
00:56:29,799 --> 00:56:34,240
War on their own took out their
1207
00:56:32,039 --> 00:56:39,039
aggression on the helpless Germans by
1208
00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:41,680
looting raping killing and destroying in
1209
00:56:39,039 --> 00:56:43,880
many towns the Invaders unlocked jails
1210
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:46,640
prisons and concentration camps and
1211
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:49,760
invited the inmates to join in the
1212
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:52,799
rry they just opened up the camps and
1213
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:54,559
let them go the Russians and poles were
1214
00:56:52,799 --> 00:56:56,400
looting the houses and killing the
1215
00:56:54,559 --> 00:56:58,760
shopkeepers
1216
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:01,680
then they began raping the
1217
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:03,440
girls similar Mayhem engulfed most towns
1218
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:06,039
in Western Germany As Americans and
1219
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:09,440
British pushed
1220
00:57:06,039 --> 00:57:11,400
onward our own Army and the British army
1221
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:16,119
have done their share of looting and
1222
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:18,839
raping we too are considered an army of
1223
00:57:16,119 --> 00:57:20,839
rapists although brutal rapes persisted
1224
00:57:18,839 --> 00:57:22,799
against the defenseless females the
1225
00:57:20,839 --> 00:57:24,680
Allied troops quickly discovered that
1226
00:57:22,799 --> 00:57:26,599
hunger was a powerful incentive to
1227
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,359
sexual surrender
1228
00:57:26,599 --> 00:57:31,599
although sex could be bought for a bit
1229
00:57:28,359 --> 00:57:33,599
of food a cigarette or a bar of soap
1230
00:57:31,599 --> 00:57:37,720
some Victors preferred to take what they
1231
00:57:33,599 --> 00:57:41,760
wanted whenever and wherever they
1232
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:44,680
pleased hunger made German women more
1233
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:47,440
available but despite this rape was
1234
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,680
prevalent and often accompanied by
1235
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:51,960
additional
1236
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:54,640
violence in particular I remember an
1237
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:57,799
18-year-old woman who had the side of
1238
00:57:54,640 --> 00:58:00,400
her face smashed with with a rifle butt
1239
00:57:57,799 --> 00:58:03,280
and was then raped by two
1240
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:06,400
GIS even the French complained that the
1241
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:08,200
rapes looting and drunken

00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:11,359
destructiveness on the part of our
1243
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,359
troops was
1244
00:58:11,599 --> 00:58:15,160
excessive despite the numerous
1245
00:58:13,599 --> 00:58:17,760
atrocities committed on the Western
1246
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:19,280

better than his Soviet

00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:42,440

01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:31,599
just standing there totally soaked
1316
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:35,039
during the day we marched around huddled
1317
01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:37,400
together to try to warm each other a bit
1318
01:01:35,039 --> 01:01:40,720
the latrines were just logs flung over
1319
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:43,400
ditches next to the barbed wire fences
1320
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:45,920
to sleep all we could do was to dig out
1321
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:48,880
a hole in the ground with our hands then
1322
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:51,039
cling together in the hole because of
1323
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:53,920
illness the man had to defecate on the
1324
01:01:51,039 --> 01:01:56,680
ground soon many of us were too weak to
1325
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:59,799
take off our charleses first so our
1326
01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:01,960
clothing was infected and so was the mud
1327
01:01:59,799 --> 01:02:05,599
where we had to walk and sit and lie
1328
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:06,680
down there was no water at all at first
1329
01:02:05,599 --> 01:02:09,520
except the
1330
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:12,799
rain more than half the days we had no
1331
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:15,960
food at all on the rest we got a little
1332
01:02:12,799 --> 01:02:18,039
K ration I could see from the package
1333
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:20,640
that they were giving us one/ tenth of
1334
01:02:18,039 --> 01:02:23,839
the rations that they issued to their
1335
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:26,760
own men I complained to the American
1336
01:02:23,839 --> 01:02:30,400
Camp Commander that he was breaking the
1337
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:35,000
Geneva Convention but he just said
1338
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:35,000
forget the convention you haven't any
1339
01:02:36,839 --> 01:02:43,079
rights within a few days some of the men
1340
01:02:40,279 --> 01:02:46,119
who had gone healthy into the camps were
1341
01:02:43,079 --> 01:02:49,079
dead I saw our men dragging many dead
1342
01:02:46,119 --> 01:02:51,359
bodies to the gate of the camp where
1343
01:02:49,079 --> 01:02:56,680
they were thrown loose on top of each
1344
01:02:51,359 --> 01:02:56,680
other onto trucks which took them away
1345
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:03,279
as if their plight were not already
1346
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:05,279
hideous enough prisoners occasionally
1347
01:03:03,279 --> 01:03:07,640
became the targets of drunken guards who
1348
01:03:05,279 --> 01:03:11,039
sprayed the camps with machine gun
1349
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:12,960
fire at one compound amused guards
1350
01:03:11,039 --> 01:03:14,720
formed lines and beat prisoners with
1351
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,839
clubs and sticks as they ran the
1352
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:20,559
gauntlet for their poultry
1353
01:03:16,839 --> 01:03:24,200
rations at another Camp of 5200 men 10
1354
01:03:20,559 --> 01:03:26,039
to 30 bodies were hauled away every day
1355
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:29,480
prisoners who did not succumb to hunger
1356
01:03:26,039 --> 01:03:31,640
or disease often died of thirst many men
1357
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:33,839
were forced to drink their own urine
1358
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:36,440
even though streams ran a few feet from
1359
01:03:33,839 --> 01:03:38,480
the barbed wire there was no lack of
1360
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:41,760
food or shelter among the Victorious
1361
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:44,640
allies actually American Supply Depots
1362
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:46,760
were bursting at the seams instead of
1363
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:48,920
allowing even a trickle of this bounty
1364
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:52,119
to reach the compounds the starvation
1365
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:54,200
diet was further reduced within full
1366
01:03:52,119 --> 01:03:56,200
view of some camps Americans would
1367
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:59,559
sadistically burn food that they could
1368
01:03:56,200 --> 01:04:02,000
not eat themselves civilians from nearby
1369
01:03:59,559 --> 01:04:04,079
Villages and towns themselves starving
1370
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:06,240
were prevented at gunpoint from passing
1371
01:04:04,079 --> 01:04:07,279
their own meager Fair through the fence
1372
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:10,359
to
1373
01:04:07,279 --> 01:04:12,839
prisoners horrified by the silent secret
1374
01:04:10,359 --> 01:04:15,400
Massacre the International Red Cross
1375
01:04:12,839 --> 01:04:18,799
which had over 100,000 tons of food
1376
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:20,520
stored in Switzerland tried to intercede
1377
01:04:18,799 --> 01:04:22,520
when two trains filled with supplies
1378
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:26,440
reached the camps however they were
1379
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:28,720
turned back by American officers
1380
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:30,920
many people found no justification
1381
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:33,200
whatsoever in the massacre of helpless
1382
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,920
prisoners especially since the German
1383
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:39,279
government had lived up to the Geneva
1384
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:39,279
Convention as one American put it to a
1385
01:04:39,319 --> 01:04:45,279
te the Red Cross reported that 99% of
1386
01:04:43,079 --> 01:04:47,880
American prisoners of war in Germany had
1387
01:04:45,279 --> 01:04:50,119
survived and were on their way home
1388
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:52,240
nevertheless Eisenhower's murderous
1389
01:04:50,119 --> 01:04:55,039
program continue to
1390
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:57,960
Pace some upright generals such as
1391
01:04:55,039 --> 01:05:00,440
general Patton opposed these murderous
1392
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:02,079
measures but Eisenhower quickly
1393
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:04,720
overruled
1394
01:05:02,079 --> 01:05:06,680
them while continuing to deny the Red
1395
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:09,319
Cross and other relief agencies access
1396
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:12,039
to the camps Eisenhower stressed among
1397
01:05:09,319 --> 01:05:13,760
his Camp commanders the need for secrecy
1398
01:05:12,039 --> 01:05:16,160
to prevent the gruesome details from
1399
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:18,400
reaching the outside world and Sidetrack
1400
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:20,359
those that did counter rumors were
1401
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:22,599
circulated stating that far from
1402
01:05:20,359 --> 01:05:24,279
mistreating and murdering prisoners Camp
1403
01:05:22,599 --> 01:05:26,359
commanders were actually turning back
1404
01:05:24,279 --> 01:05:28,720
release Germans who tried to back in for
1405
01:05:26,359 --> 01:05:28,720
food and
1406
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:33,880
shelter unlike their capitalist
1407
01:05:31,599 --> 01:05:36,520
counterparts the Soviet Communists made
1408
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:38,480
little effort to hide their crimes
1409
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:41,200
hundreds of thousands of Germans toiled
1410
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:43,599
in the forest and mines of Siberia the
1411
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:46,200
captives were slaves pure and simple and
1412
01:05:43,599 --> 01:05:49,319
no attempt was made to disguise the fact
1413
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:51,400
for the enslaved Germans male and female
1414
01:05:49,319 --> 01:05:52,920
the odds of surviving the Soviet gulags
1415
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:56,079
were even worse than escaping the
1416
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:59,039
American death camps a trip to Liberia
1417
01:05:56,079 --> 01:06:00,920
was tantamount to a death sentence what
1418
01:05:59,039 --> 01:06:02,599
little food the slaves received was
1419
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:05,640
intended merely to maintain their
1420
01:06:02,599 --> 01:06:07,119
strength until they were worked to death
1421
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:11,480
much the same might be said of the
1422
01:06:07,119 --> 01:06:11,480
600,000 German slaves held by the
1423
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:18,079
French ultimately no fewer than 800,000
1424
01:06:16,279 --> 01:06:20,920
German prisoners died in the American
1425
01:06:18,079 --> 01:06:22,520
and French death camps indeed recent
1426
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:27,279
estimates place the death toll at
1427
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:29,720
upwards of 1.5 million and thus in peace
1428
01:06:27,279 --> 01:06:31,400
did Eisenhower murder at least 10 times
1429
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,400
the number of German soldiers than were
1430
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:35,440
killed on the whole Western Front during
1431

01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:15,080
talented young woman who was perhaps the

world's most artistic
1467
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:20,520
filmmaker because her epic documentaries
1468
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:23,159
Triumph of the will and Olympia seemed
1469
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:25,520
to glorify not only Germany but national
1470
01:08:23,159 --> 01:08:27,319
socialism and because of her close Rel
1471
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:30,040
relationship with an admiring Adolf

been politically active no charges had
1478
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:50,920
ever been filed against us yet we were
1479
01:08:47,799 --> 01:08:54,440
at the mercy of the allies and had no

reich's land area by 1 half as many knew
1581
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:25,560

1682
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:32,560
selling themselves but for the millions
1683
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:34,400
of rape victims was unwanted pregnancy
1684
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:37,320
thousands who were in fact pregnant
1685
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:39,960
sought and found abortions thousands
1686
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:43,600
more lived in Dreadful suspense their
1687
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:46,639
lives utterly shattered in every way
1688
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:49,120
imaginable at length Allied soldiers
1689
01:17:46,639 --> 01:17:51,120
reporters and others began to recoil at
1690
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,840
the ruthless reign of terror transpiring
1691
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:54,880
in
1692
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:59,360
Germany while the Germans around them St
1693
01:17:54,880 --> 01:18:01,920
carve we rags and live in huels the
1694
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:04,440
American Aristocrats live in often
1695
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:07,239
unaccustomed ease and
1696
01:18:04,440 --> 01:18:10,239
luxury they live in the finest houses
1697
01:18:07,239 --> 01:18:13,719
from which they drove the Germans they
1698
01:18:10,239 --> 01:18:16,600
Swagger about in fine liveries and Gorge
1699
01:18:13,719 --> 01:18:18,719
themselves on diets three times as great
1700
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:21,600
as they allow the
1701
01:18:18,719 --> 01:18:24,920
Germans when we tell the Germans their
1702
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:27,880
low rations are necessary because food
1703
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:30,920
is so short they naturally either think
1704
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:34,040
we are lying to them or regard us as
1705
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:37,080
inhuman for taking the Lion Share of the
1706
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:38,600
short supplies while they and their
1707
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:41,120
children
1708
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:42,920
starve even as the chorus of critics
1709
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:46,000
over the sadistic treatment of Germany
1710
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:47,800
grew a nightmare of almost unbelievable
1711
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:51,159
proportions was developing behind the
1712
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:51,159
Iron Curtain
1713
01:18:58,199 --> 01:19:08,000
never mind the five more million
1714
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:10,960
Jans Stalin will see to
1715
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:13,440
them with a wave of the hand and a puff
1716
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:15,520
of his cigar the British prime minister
1717
01:19:13,440 --> 01:19:18,679
thus condoned one of the greatest
1718
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:20,440
massacres in human history with an
1719
01:19:18,679 --> 01:19:23,239
understanding reached at Yalta then
1720
01:19:20,440 --> 01:19:25,440
signed into law at potam the Soviet
1721
01:19:23,239 --> 01:19:27,960
Union swallowed vast chunks of German
1722
01:19:25,440 --> 01:19:30,320
and polish territory in the east in
1723
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:32,480
return Poland itself devoured large
1724
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:35,520
tracks of the former Reich in the west
1725
01:19:32,480 --> 01:19:37,560
including much of Prussia Pomerania and
1726
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:40,080
the extremely rich industrialized
1727
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,080
province of
1728
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:46,159
cicia despite solemn reassurances by the
1729
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:48,840
Allied leaders that the mass expulsions
1730
01:19:46,159 --> 01:19:51,600
would be carried out in an orderly and
1731
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:53,600
Humane manner shattering glass and
1732
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:55,320
splintering doors were usually the first
1733
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:57,520
sounds a victim heard
1734
01:19:55,320 --> 01:20:02,320
soon followed by Angry shouts to clear
1735
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:05,120
the home in 30 10 even 5 minutes thus by
1736
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:07,480
10 and 20s by hundreds and thousands
1737
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:10,440
homeless Germans now began trudging West
1738
01:20:07,480 --> 01:20:12,520
with no clear goal in mind except for
1739
01:20:10,440 --> 01:20:15,199
those able-bodied individuals held as
1740
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:18,040
slaves and young girls retained for sex
1741
01:20:15,199 --> 01:20:20,600
roughly 11 million truers took to the
1742
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:22,840
roads thus began the greatest death
1743
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:26,400
march in
1744
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:29,320
history as they left town in an endless
1745
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:32,280
possession polish soldiers fell upon
1746
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:35,600
them beating and flocking them in a
1747
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:38,159
blind rage robbed of all they possessed
1748
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:42,120
and literally stripped of the last of
1749
01:20:38,159 --> 01:20:45,120
the belongings these poor creatures
1750
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:48,960
trudged along in the wind and the rain
1751
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:52,560
with no roof or shelter over their heads
1752
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:55,760
not knowing where they would find a new
1753
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:57,400
boat of the roughly 11 million victims
1754
01:20:55,760 --> 01:21:00,800
hurled from their homes in Eastern
1755
01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:04,080
Germany an estimated 2 million mostly
1756
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:06,480
women and children perished equally as
1757
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:08,840
horrifying though less wellknown were
1758
01:21:06,480 --> 01:21:10,840
the nearly 1 million Germans who died
1759
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:14,360
during similar expulsions in
1760
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:15,159
Czechoslovakia Hungary Romania Bulgaria
1761
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:17,960
and
1762
01:21:15,159 --> 01:21:20,040
Yugoslavia additionally an estimated 4
1763
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:22,199
million more ethnic Germans were sent
1764
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:24,280
East to the Soviet Union where the odds
1765
01:21:22,199 --> 01:21:26,560
of surviving as slaves were worse than
1766
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:26,560
as
1767
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:34,199
refugees to slice three or four ancient
1768
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:37,800
provinces from a country then Loot and
1769
01:21:34,199 --> 01:21:41,920
plunder 9 million people of their houses
1770
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:44,040
Farms cattle furniture and even clothing
1771
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:47,679
and then expel them from the land they
1772
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:50,040
have inhabited for 700 years with no
1773
01:21:47,679 --> 01:21:53,000
distinction between the innocent and the
1774
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:56,880
guilty to drive them like unwanted
1775
01:21:53,000 --> 01:22:00,480
beasts on foot to far off provinces
1776
01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:03,800
unprotected shelterless and starving is
1777
01:22:00,480 --> 01:22:05,760
an atrocity so vast that history records
1778
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:08,320
none
1779
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:10,480
vaster while Western leaders such as
1780
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:11,920
Winston Churchill later feigned surprise
1781
01:22:10,480 --> 01:22:14,360
at the tragedy they had wrought in
1782
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:16,120
Eastern Germany little was said about
1783
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,920
the deliberate starvation of the rest of
1784
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,600
the
1785
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:21,440
Reich and utter silence prevailed
1786
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:24,159
concerning the Allied torture chambers
1787

in Germany the on thepot Massacre of
1788
01:22:24,159 --> 01:22:28,800
Nazi party members and SS troops the
1789
01:22:26,440 --> 01:22:31,679
death camps run by Eisenhower or the
1790
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:34,480
hellish Jewish torture pens in Poland
1791
01:22:31,679 --> 01:22:36,560
taken as a whole it is a certainty that
1792
01:22:34,480 --> 01:22:39,639
far more Germans died during the first
1793
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:41,520
two years of Peace than died during the
1794
01:22:39,639 --> 01:22:45,389
previous six years of

[Music]
1796
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:55,440
War World War II was the world's worst
1797
01:22:53,719 --> 01:22:57,360
war
1798
01:22:55,440 --> 01:22:59,400
World War II was the world's worst war
1799
01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:02,639
because of the evil that was Unleashed
1800
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:05,480
on millions of helpless men women and
1801
01:23:02,639 --> 01:23:07,600
children the Allied war waged against
1802
01:23:05,480 --> 01:23:10,600
Germany both during and after the war
1803
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:12,400
were evils so vicious and so depraved
1804
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:14,120
that truly words have not yet been
1805
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:16,400
invented to describe
1806
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:19,000
them while one might estimate the
1807
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:22,000
incredible loss of life during an after
1808
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:24,560
World War II it is almost impossible to
1809
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:27,000
calculate the physical and psychological
1810
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:29,800
suffering caused by the rape torture and
1811
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:33,120
degradation of the German
1812
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:36,159
Nation unlike their victims the victors
1813
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:39,320
faced no post-war prison camps no
1814
01:23:36,159 --> 01:23:42,120
slavery no torture no starvation no
1815
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:44,960
rapes no trials for the numerous war
1816
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:48,360
crimes and no vilification campaign that
1817
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:51,440
persists to this very day quite the
1818
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:53,960
opposite for the victors American
1819
01:23:51,440 --> 01:23:56,560
generals became American Presidents
1820
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:59,239
British Prime Ministers became British
1821
01:23:56,560 --> 01:24:02,159
Knights Allied soldiers became the
1822
01:23:59,239 --> 01:24:04,520
greatest generation and The Winning Side
1823
01:24:02,159 --> 01:24:07,679
claimed complete and utter control over
1824
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:07,679
the history of World War
1825
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:13,360
II not surprisingly in the Winter's
1826
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:15,719
expert hands the evil crime that was
1827
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:17,800
World War II was quickly transformed
1828
01:24:15,719 --> 01:24:20,639
into the crusade in Europe the war to
1829
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:24,480
end evil and simply the good
1830
01:24:20,639 --> 01:24:27,760
War year after year decade after decade
1831
01:24:24,480 --> 01:24:30,600
a mountain of movies TV shows articles
1832
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:32,600
books are released with the sole intent
1833
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:35,639
of heaping crime and guilt on the heads
1834
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:37,199
of the victims at the same time the
1835
01:24:35,639 --> 01:24:39,800
victors have elevated themselves to
1836
01:24:37,199 --> 01:24:42,040
Paragons of virtue by hiding the very
1837
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:45,280
real crimes they committed both during
1838
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:47,000
and after the war anyone who can say
1839
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:49,520
that the actions of the Allies were
1840
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:52,119
Justified hopefully has never witnessed
1841
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:55,000
a screaming child running like a living
1842
01:24:52,119 --> 01:24:56,960
torch through a flaming Street
1843
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:59,960
never watched as a man drank his own
1844
01:24:56,960 --> 01:25:02,800
urine to stay alive even as a river ran
1845
01:24:59,960 --> 01:25:05,159
just beyond the prison fence never heard
1846
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:07,639
the animal shrieks of the tortured as
1847
01:25:05,159 --> 01:25:10,000
their genitals are mutilated or the
1848
01:25:07,639 --> 01:25:12,719
groans of a bleeding woman begging for a
1849
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,639
bullet while the line awaiting its turn
1850
01:25:12,719 --> 01:25:15,920
grows
1851
01:25:13,639 --> 01:25:19,000
longer hopefully these people have never
1852
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:20,880
seen such things for only then one can
1853
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:23,679
understand how they might par it over
1854
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:26,600
and over again the standard refrain they
1855
01:25:23,679 --> 01:25:28,280
got exactly what they deserved and never
1856
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:31,159
lose a moment's
1857
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:34,159
sleep still if there is one Central
1858
01:25:31,159 --> 01:25:36,360
truth that was born of World War II it
1859
01:25:34,159 --> 01:25:39,719
is that clearly there is no such thing
1860
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:41,840
as a good War those who say differently
1861
01:25:39,719 --> 01:25:44,199
are either those who profit politically
1862
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:47,280
or financially from war or those who
1863
01:25:44,199 --> 01:25:50,440
have never witnessed War up close in all
1864
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,440
