@@vincentmcardell8183 Yes, most of them died of dysentry, typhus, hunger ( and the hunger started after the Allied got air superiority and bombed all the railways etc....) Any one ever read about the 'Blut gegen Waren' deal the Germans wanted to make with the Allied?
At the time, my 17-year-old uncle was thrown into Dachau. How he survived being in there for five years beats me. He was liberated by the American Army.
Best Man at my dads wedding, Charlie, captured at The Battle of The Bulge, ended up with the arm tattoo and everything. Dad said he came back from POW camp weighing less than 100 pounds. Charlie wouldn't speak of POW camp. To a kid of 10 or 12, I didn't understand. Now, in my 60's, I understand why. I can't imagine what it must have been like. Dad said Charlie was never quite the same just from seeing it.
If you got captured and where Jewish, you got it pretty bad, my dad who was there..told of a Mexican American who wasnt Jewish, and a devout catholic, but had a jewish look, got thrown in with Jewish prisoners..lots didnt wear dogtags in battle
My uncle Dalton was on Corrigedor when it surrendered. Then he was put in the Bataan death march. From there he was packed into the hold a hell ship and shipped to work as slave labor in the coal mines of Nagasaki. He was there when Fat Man was dropped by BoxCar. He was beaten and tortured nearly every day by civilians and military personally alike. He survived by scrapping slop out of garbage cans and sharing it with other PoWs. He weighed 80 lbs when liberated by US troops.

My grandpa was an Italia partisan, he was captured february 45 and sent to Dachau in March. Hes got liberated 25april 45. In 2 months he went from 70kg weight to 40kg. He didn t talk to much of that experience, but he suffered the rest of his life, i know it. RIP grandpa.

For those who think we did fight on the right side, why did you choose to honor their sacrifice by embodying values and causes they would find abhorrent?
@@michaels5582i’m sure your main ‘values’ you’re complaining about are gay/trans people existing, and women being allowed to control what they do with their own bodies. and i’m sure you also cry about how they took god out of PUBLIC schools (which are literally secular institutions and are for learning, not forcing your fairy tales onto children). none of these things are objectively bad nor wrong and just because you hate gay and trans people and YOU hate any religion that isn’t yours, doesn’t mean the people you disagree with aren’t allowed to do what they want. freedom applies to EVERYONE, period. and that includes people who disagree with and completely despise your views.
@@michaels5582 This right here. My grandfather was a kid during WWII, but his aunt and uncle who stayed behind in Europe died in Auschwitz. He fought in Vietnam, though. He can't watch the news anymore, because all it does is make him depressed that the nation he loved so much no longer exists.

That had to be horrendous. I was in the Army between 1966 and 1970. From 1967 to 1970 i was stationed in Augsburg at Flak Kasern.

I don't know how you got past going that Sir. Thank you for your service. You guys are the GREATEST GENERATION.
I met a man back in the 90's that fought in Europe all through WW2, the only time he really cried was when asked about seeing the victims of a concentraion camp. He talked about being bombed by our own airforce/army air corps, constant attacks at the Battle of the Bulge, and getting shrapnel wounds. He cried and couldn't talk about seeing inside the camps. After he died, his sons told us he cried and talked in his sleep about kids dying in his arms.

@sayrerowan734 Some Americans flew to the eatern front as either pilots or along with equipment. Some got captured and escaped to the eastern front. Some were shot down and fought with the Soviets. There are many reasons.

My great grandfather witnessed one of the camps first hand in a similar way. He’d tell you everything about the war - bayoneting Germans, blowing up u boats etc - but when you’d ask him about the camp he saw at the end he stayed completely silent

@@gregdzialo9998plenty of people switched jobs, a lot of navy soldiers volunteered for the d day assault. There are soldiers that fought for 4 different countries in the course of the war
My Dad was in the Mediterranean Theater, North African, Sicilian, and Italian campaigns , on a " PT " boat. He saw a lot of action and some " ugly " things. He was a tough old guy. Once while watching a TVshow about the Holocaust, he teared up and remained silent. Dad didn't even cry a tear at his beloved Mother's funeral !!
My friend was in the rainbow div. The look in his eyes when he told me what he saw will always be with me... People need to listen to our vets . Freedom is not free ..
My great great father died at Dachau, of typhoid fever. He was part of Belgian Resistance. He was arrested in Bruges by the Gestapo in 1942 . My great father carried the memory of all this for his whole life. I remember hearing him screaming in the middle of the night. I was 5 years old and I already knew why he was screaming, even nobody told me anything about all this.
@@brandongantt9343in America a majority of us at the time were 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants from axis aligned countries. So we were torn between fighting your parents or grandparents former home and neighbors or doing what you think it right. Thankfully the axis made the choice an easy one to make.
Thank you. My father was liberated from Dachau, 4/29/45. He was almost 13 yesterday old. He weighed 45 lbs and was 5'3'. He was murdered by NY former stepmother on 5/26/95.
I had the privilege of meeting Corrie Tenboom many years ago..when she visited mission stations in East Africa..where my folks lived. She was an elderly by then and still had a starchy grit to her..and the wonderful message of Christs love. In spite of surviving the concentration camps. Such horrors.
I remember when everyone knew her name and had read or heard of her book, The Hiding Place. I wonder how many people reading these comments now know who she is.
Of all things my grandfather went through in ww2 serving with the 101st 41 to 45 and all the things he did being apart of the first groups of guys to stumble upon the camps without being warned of what theyre going to witness just struck him so much. I think that what he saw was a major contributing factor to him being a devout catholic untill the day he died over 90 years of age. Wars not worth the destruction it leaves both physically mentally and spiritually upon entire populations of people.
I talked to a nurse who was with one of the first medical units to come across these atrocities. Having a strong historical background on the horrors I apologized that she and others lived this horrible experience. She immediately started to cry. So terrible are the memories .
Thinking about my grandfathers stories on DDay and in the Pacific still makes me teary. A great uncle was killed in front of his brother, my grandfather. Another great uncle was shot down, escaped from a POW camp, make it across Germany only to die a few days of getting back home to my great aunt from some unknown disease from his experience. My grandfather trapped in a foxhole for over a week with the Japanese walking by them, not able to move or eat. I can't even imagine.
My great grandpa's (Opa's) family, sister, mom, and dad were all massacred in the camps. He fled Germany with his wife, my Oma, shortly after. He led a great life as an electrician until he retired in his 60s, had 2 daughters, and eventually passed away in 2020 due to complications with old age. Rest in peace, Hermann, my Opa. You will be missed.
Thank you for your service sir and God bless you. May all who died fighting for our country Rest In Peace. May all the victims of the Holocaust Rest In Peace. God rest their souls
My Uncle Darrel went from Omaha Beach to Germany and never talked about his WWII experience until a few months before his death 1996. He was wounded 4 times until a German grenade send him to a hospital in England and then discharged for home after 6 months. That German grenade shrapnel was still in his back and hastened his death.
When I was a kid, I thought there’s no way anyone could deny what was happening in the death camps. I saw the photos, saw the eye witnesses, the blessed survivors, and the perpetrators, clear as a bell. I’m now 55 and see what happened in Germany in the late 20’s and early 30’s happening here in the U.S. I suppose, that I am not really shocked, just heartbroken for my country and its future. ❤🇺🇸
Let us be grateful let us be thankful let us remember and honor those who have gone before so that we may have freedoms today! The price of freedom is not free our greatest generation paid for our freedoms and as a US Marine formerly active and citizen of this country I will never Forget and salute, respect and give prayers to those men and women who are heroes in the truest sense and honor them always, Oorah Semper Fi, may they Carry on and Beyond!
Thank you sir and the rest of the Allies for liberating Europe and also the POWs and prisoners in these concentration camps. I have read about them along with another one that’s sort of like it, Unit 731. I know the horrors of that war. I try till this day to study it all in it’s fullest. It’s my favorite ear to research. Not because of the evil, but because of the good. I was inspired to join the US Army, I never joined, I am going to try again for the Army or Marines.
These guys are truly heroes. My grandfather served in the Navy and participated in the D-Day invasion. I am lucky he was left handed. Apparently his first choice was to be a Marine, but they would not take left handed shooters (bolt action on the Springfield would be on the wrong side for left handed shooters). Had he been right handed, he would have probably been a Marine and deployed to the Pacific. Who knows how that would have changed the trajectory of his life.
Thank you for your service sir, you are a very brave man. ❤ One of my father’s business associates (and friend) came for a visit when I was young back in the 60’s. He told us about his service in WWII when he was with a group who caught someone high in the German command, can’t remember the name tho I’m thinking of Goering which I know is wrong, and as that German commander was getting into the back of the car to be taken away, my father’s friend planted his foot squarely on the German’s rear end and shoved as hard as he could. He said he felt it was the least he could do to that nazi b*st*rd for what they did. One of the substitute teachers we had in elementary school was a woman who survived the concentration camps. She was a sweet, gentle woman who talked about her experience and showed us her tattoo. I don’t remember what camp she survived, but the awfulness she described never left me, even tho what she talked about was age appropriate, it affected me deeply. One thing that stood out was that they had been starved and when they were liberated she was like a living skeleton, so from that point forward she would never deny herself good healthy food.
My dad was with Patton and told me that even several months after the war the camps’ smell was so bad. And every German he met in the town claimed they didn’t know…
i think they mainly meant like concentration camps specifically designed to imprison then subsequently exterminate an entire group of people. but yes you’re correct concentration camps existed long before nazi germany did, hell similar things existed even before the boer war you refer to. the united states during the wars with the native americans put them into camps that were basically the same thing.

He was wounded 4 times until a German grenade send him to a hospital in England and then discharged for home after 6 months. That German grenade shrapnel was still in his back and hastened his death.
Thank you sir
Thank you for your service....

When I was a kid, I thought there’s no way anyone could deny what was happening in the death camps. I saw the photos, saw the eye witnesses, the blessed survivors, and the perpetrators, clear as a bell. I’m now 55 and see what happened in Germany in the late 20’s and early 30’s happening here in the U.S. I suppose, that I am not really shocked, just heartbroken for my country and its future. ❤🇺🇸
❤THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you for youer service sir and youer story sir God bless you sir 🙏
Evil must be defeated no matter where it is
Thank you Sir.
Much respect to you Sir!
Thank you for your witness
Absolutely heartbreaking
Let us be grateful let us be thankful let us remember and honor those who have gone before so that we may have freedoms today! The price of freedom is not free our greatest generation paid for our freedoms and as a US Marine formerly active and citizen of this country I will never Forget and salute, respect and give prayers to those men and women who are heroes in the truest sense and honor them always, Oorah Semper Fi, may they Carry on and Beyond!
And there are people who don’t think that it was real
Thank you sir and the rest of the Allies for liberating Europe and also the POWs and prisoners in these concentration camps. I have read about them along with another one that’s sort of like it, Unit 731. I know the horrors of that war. I try till this day to study it all in it’s fullest. It’s my favorite ear to research. Not because of the evil, but because of the good. I was inspired to join the US Army, I never joined, I am going to try again for the Army or Marines.
Liberating Europe from the Soviet Union?
These guys are truly heroes. My grandfather served in the Navy and participated in the D-Day invasion. I am lucky he was left handed. Apparently his first choice was to be a Marine, but they would not take left handed shooters (bolt action on the Springfield would be on the wrong side for left handed shooters). Had he been right handed, he would have probably been a Marine and deployed to the Pacific. Who knows how that would have changed the trajectory of his life.
I recently got to visit Dachau in person, and man. Just seeing the things there was saddening. I really hope nothing like that ever happens again.
Thank you for your service sir, you are a very brave man. ❤
One of my father’s business associates (and friend) came for a visit when I was young back in the 60’s. He told us about his service in WWII when he was with a group who caught someone high in the German command, can’t remember the name tho I’m thinking of Goering which I know is wrong, and as that German commander was getting into the back of the car to be taken away, my father’s friend planted his foot squarely on the German’s rear end and shoved as hard as he could. He said he felt it was the least he could do to that nazi b*st*rd for what they did.
One of the substitute teachers we had in elementary school was a woman who survived the concentration camps. She was a sweet, gentle woman who talked about her experience and showed us her tattoo. I don’t remember what camp she survived, but the awfulness she described never left me, even tho what she talked about was age appropriate, it affected me deeply. One thing that stood out was that they had been starved and when they were liberated she was like a living skeleton, so from that point forward she would never deny herself good healthy food.
God bless you
I met a woman named Charlotte who tunneled out of Dachau.
No you didnt😂
Thank you sir for protecting our country. I can't imagine seeing the horror of those camps. I agree, how can humans be treated like that.
My dad was with Patton and told me that even several months after the war the camps’ smell was so bad. And every German he met in the town claimed they didn’t know…
Every witness makes the deniers liars and/or fools.
The first concentration camps were in the Boer war in the early 1900s
i think they mainly meant like concentration camps specifically designed to imprison then subsequently exterminate an entire group of people. but yes you’re correct concentration camps existed long before nazi germany did, hell similar things existed even before the boer war you refer to. the united states during the wars with the native americans put them into camps that were basically the same thing.
@@acid6urnsThe germans extermination camps were actually partially inspired by our treatment of the natives, easily the biggest stain on the U.S
These camps were the first run at systematic extermination of an entire people.
the smell of death is something you will never forget. it's one of the foulest things that could ever violate your nasal cavity.
That's one camp. Most troops only saw a couple camps that obviously was in extreme distress due to war rationing, illness and starvation.
Eisenhower knew there would be people who would deny that it ever happened
No movie could explain
Im glad and also sorry you saw it. To try and explain to us...what it it was like.
Thank you for your service, God bless you, sir.
I'm so sorry that you had to go through that but I'm sure glad you did it for us
THANK YOU SIR!!!!
