Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 3 of memoirs of a German sniper, who was the second most successful sniper of the German Wehrmacht and one of the few private soldiers to be honored with the award of the Knight’s Cross .An Austrian conscript, after qualifying as a machine gunner he was drafted to the southern sector of the Russian Front in July 1942. Wounded at Voroshilovsk, he experimented with a Russian sniper-rifle while convalescing and so impressed his superiors with his proficiency that he was returned to the front as his regiment’s only sniper specialist.

Are these memoirs a book? What’s it called please?
😂
Where is the action? You show one photo and that's it~ Why don't you show action scenes like all other documentaries?. It makes it more interesting than just listening to a voice! I am not seeing it~ Just a suggestion!
Unlike in films and peoples perceptions, these men had to endure all that horror but still had to walk, be hungry, cold and go through even more for weeks and weeks.
It is mostly BS fanfiction for less inteligent.
Reading about the German 6th Army trapped in Stalingrad was like a horror film. Completely surrounded with no hope of escape. Cold, starving, tired, lice infesting entire body, no sanitation whatsoever, disease. Having to live amid rubble of broken down brick factories, broken glass, etc.
And at the end if you survive you have to force march through Russia and be worked to death.
Of around the 70,000 men lost in the encirclement of Stalingrad. Only 5,000 made it home years after the war.
@@ball3677 Thats 100 people away from 7%. Soviets got their vengeance upon these poor men, sent there by a madman you had no choice. To be in 6th Army, army group central was a curse!
@@jockmcscottish7569 Most of them supported hitler, you are talking vile, perverted nonsense
40 years ago I remember reading a story about a soldier who died from hypothermia while copping a squat during the 1st winter. I still can't comprehend that.
WHENEVER I think about the Eastern Front. The men who froze to death. The men captured that didn't survive the P.O.W. camps. The shortage of supplies and hunger. I can only pray for those who survived and those who died. War Sucks 😮
Since disillusioned Berlin leadership planned on a quick fall campaign to victory. Caused vital supplies. The North Africa campaign was still raging. Supplying 2 fronts very difficult.
...LET'S REMEMBER THAT THE GERMANS HAD NO GODDAM BUSINESS BEING IN RUSSIA, ANYWAY: THE GERMANS WERE WAGING A WAR OF "CONQUEST AND EXTERMINATION"- AND THE GERMANS GOT THEIR ASS HANDED TO THEM, BY THE RUSSIANS!!!
FRANKLY, I DON'T FEEL ONE DAM BIT SORRY FOR THE GERMANS!!!
@@asullivan4047 They ended up carrying Italy for most of the war. They weren't very committed fascists as it turns out.
@@davidhbrown9767I remember from a war film I saw an Italian soldier saying: "We don't kill women and children!" after witnessing a slaughter of civilians by German soldiers. 😢😢😢
Listened to both sides of the Eastern Front, both sides showed bravery and cruelty along with war crimes. To the Victor goes the right to write History. I've come to realise there is no glory in war only death and sorrow. No families of the service personnel WIN on either side of the conflict.
Medals and battalion citations mean very little compared to the loss of life.
Here we are once again on the verge of another global conflict.
My hope is sanity prevails and diplomacy and statesmanship. Lets hope the UN speak up and full fill their Charter.
Thx again.
Sir you are always welcome 💐
Superb writing.
A particularly goodd video and one could almost mentally visualise some of the scenes described
These stories have more value than all the so-called history I got at school and YT. This is the real war, not stories about Hitler and Himmler. These guys experienced the war as it really was. A horror show.
Guys, i have to say someting. My grandfather was Austrian. He fought during the secound world war, on the eastern front. I was lisening to this during studdiing after i found it randomly on youtube (i like history). And something caught my attention, the regiment 144, 3. Gebirgs-Division was the regiment of my grandfather. I know this cuz i was searching for the fallen brother of my grandmother, who also was the best friend of my grandfather. They both where in 1. Kompanie, 1.Battalion 144. Regiment, 3. Gebirgs division. My grandfather joined the wehrmacht in 1939 at the age of 16. During the war he fought allways for the people around him, and not for a ideology. He was awarded the iron cross, woundbadge, close quaters combat badge and infantry assault badge. As it came to my knolige a few months ago, he was also a sniper. My grandfathers name was Adolf Skrutl, and hes friend and also the brother of my grandmother was Franz Steindl. He also joined the Heer in 1939. He also fought in the same Kompanie as my grandfather. He was also a very decorated soldier. But, there is something else. There was a very rare medal, of wich only around 4560 where given out during the war. He was one of those brave man who recieved the Ehrenblattspange (Heer version). You can look it up, there is a website only for those who earned this metal. Again hes name was Franz Steindl, 1. Kompanie, 1. Battalion. 144. Regiment, 3. Gebirgs division. You will find him, i did to. He sadly fell in Hungary near Eger, but my grandfather survived and married hes best friends sister, my grandmother. After the war he worked as a miner and mountan rescue. Besides he worked with the black cross, they exhumated fallen ww2 veterans and braught them back home.
Its incredible for me to hear what this sniper in the story did go trough and it is even more incredible, that my grandfather was one of those men, who fought beside thease men in real life.
Im only at 25 minutes of the story, but i hope i hear my grandfathers name in the story (i know there is little chanse, but yeah)
@mathiasskrutl2662 Sir thank you so much for sharing your incredible family history ,your grand father was indeed a brave and courageous soul
There’s a book called Until the eyes shut and it’s written by an Austrian who was in the 3rd Gebirgsjager Division
hmmm@@WW2Tales
Your Grandfather tried to save us from this degenerate evil world we live in that was created by a people we are not allowed to criticize. I even say their name and i get a 24 hour ban on here. Respect .
@@blindenergy6694Found the Nazi! How are you not ashamed to be so stupid in public?
This is a very clear, concise, detailed, well-written, first-hand account. If this translation is accurate, this German soldier gives a good, accurate account of his experiences, an indication of intelligence and clarity of thought.
Great story
These men knew the meaning of suffering.
The world was on fire for 5 years. So much suffering.
and they caused suffering on the level rarely ever seen in history. No one should weep for them.
@@GooseGumlizzard What is it you don`t understand?
You think the allies were innocent of war crimes?
Check out, Rhine meadows, Eisenhower`s death camps and the bombing of Dresden.
@@GooseGumlizzard If we go by your standard, no one weeps for anyone.
@@GooseGumlizzardthey were pawns. The ones responsible were in Berlin
War is such beastly madness. Leonardo do vinci
Outstanding
War no good. We need to be reminded of this.
You articulate MF.
This is one of the most interesting storylines yet
I was in Riga Latvia last summer, the SS occupied Latvia during WW2 , they operated a shameful concentration camp staffed by local Latvian SS who murdered their own neighbors and countrymen in this concentration camp, the Latvians keep the concentration camp hidden from tourists, the only train station there is defunct, I had to walk thru the woods for 10K to get to the camp, it’s a well kept sad area, it’s huge ,restored by Soviet Union, the other occupier. I pretty sure Latvian government wants it bulldozed , to erase the complicit history.
Latvians, Estonians and Lithuanians need to come clean when it comes to the persecution of their Jewish population.
Same suffering endured by the French army under Napoleon. When you fight for an evil leader, you pay a horrible price
Wow this would make an incredible movie
A girl at my work is Mongolian and she says it's -35C now where her parents live. Can you imagine -50C?
-50C: Ask an Alaskan or someone from the Yukon or NW Territories.
It was -50 with the wind chill in Edmonton this last January sadly
@@paulmcewen7384 Holly molley!
Is that a dry cold?
Still think cold is better than heat, you can more or less dress for it if you can afford the dress.
Imagine being homeless?!
Shit man...
.@Spitsz01 Yes, homeless people die from exposure in the winter in Edmonton. Yes it is a dry cold, but any exposed skin in that temperature will have frostbite within minutes
The love of men will wax cold
Great narration btw.
LOL, it's AI!
Exactly, the weird pronunciations are just terrible
It is interesting that the Germans adopted the Moisan Nagant sniper rifle in the absence of their own models.
I was wondering about that. He referred to captured "exploding" rounds that could only be 762×54 not 8mm. Surprised that a mosin nagant would be a better sniper rifle than a 98 Mauser.
@@jonahhex8178 he states, in the next section, the K98 with scope was superior. He acquired the Russian rifle in the first section, using sniper billet as a means to escape being a machine gunner, an MOS that had a very poor survival rate. After months of sniper duty, he went to sniper school and was given his own new K98.
Theoretically a G98 would be a better sniper rifle than a K98 also because it had more muzzle velocity, and an accurized G98 (or the Finnish 20mm) would be better than an issue K98, but in combat you must use what you can get.
probably hollow points@@budkingston3347
Can someone please provide a link to part 4
If a man who has no chance of survival, is suffering horribly and asks for a mercy bullet, not to give it to him is insanely cruel. Those ridiculous regulations ought to be changed, prolonging someone's agony intentionally makes no sense whatsoever.
it's not a matter that can be left without regulation.
the same happens with self assisted suicide.
The problem is that giving troops the authority to put down the critically wounded, could open an avenue to justify leaders extra-judicially killing troops. Killing your own troops has ALWAYS been a matter of murder or manslaughter. This becomes one of those matters where doing what is ethical and right for the situation, is best left where it happened and not spoken of again.
@@JRyan-lu5im I get your point but it somehow sounds a bit like saying that kitchen knives open the door to serial murderers. I am talking more about the old concepts that human life is sacred and that we, mere mortals have no right to be our own masters when it comes to life and death. If a buddy is clearly doomed and asks to be liberated from the horribly painful hours or days left before he goes anyway, shouldn't refusing his request be a crime worst than granting it? And if leaders start killing their men, I'm sure these men could find a way to get rid of him. In other words, I choose mercy instead of hardly justifiable moral principles based on the idea that human life is so sacred that ending it, even when the alternative is much worse, is prohibited without any appeal, discussion or opposition. Of course I agree with doing the right thing and keeping it to ourselves, but I would prefer a change in our legal and moral vision of ending lives. Here in Canada we can now ask for a medical assisted suicide, it is hard to get and strictly supervised, abuses are not really possible but just before the law was passed, there was a difficult debate, some groups being fiercely opposed to the idea, I just couldn't understand how someone else's principles could prevent anyone whose pain took away the will to live from finding resolution and peace... That's my position and as much as I have control over my life, I want control over my death too, Thanks for your thought provoking reply.
I recall watching an interview with a very old British WWI veteran, maybe some of you guys have seen it too. He came upon a seriously wounded British soldier laying on the ground. The wounded man appealed to him, "shoot me," he said. Standing over his wounded comrade considering his plea, the veteran couldn't do it. He stayed a moment and the wounded soldier died. I imagined this very scene playing out in every battle of every war since the beginning of time.
“The escaping medic tripped into the amputation trench piled high with severed arms and legs” wtf
Good ol Seppe... I knew as soon as I started listening to this that it was from his book. Fantastic read. Good job😊
What’s the name of the book bro. I’d love to read it. Sounds very interesting good reading
@@danmcg4363Sniper on The Eastern Front: The Memoirs of Sepp Allerberger
Read it, it’s a fascinating book if you are interested in the topic
war is stupid. Pride and Greed. the real enemies of mankind!
Pride, greed and overpopulation
Bingo.
The thoughts of the sniper as he was eliminating his targets is interesting because he had lost any regret for pulling the trigger....he is a mechanical killing machine..
That's normally any modern professional soldier in literally his first action.
If you're trained combat is completely mechanical even first time.
was he gonna sit there and cry while russians mutilated everyone they came across? lol
@@RatmanSays most of them did after a while.
@@RatmanSaystbh looking & listening to the marxist lgbtq+ section of youth that infects modern society today I would say "Yes". I'm talking about certain political Left groups, mind you not the everyone ok. 😂
@@RatmanSays Lmao what propaganda have you been reading? Everyone got mutilated? War is war, however you missed the point @davidkarr4632 made. Even though he was a killing machine he still discribes his thoughts as he watches a living person through his scope and still squeezed the trigger without remorse. It's about the human psyche, disassociation and such.
Iv read this book its very good
Amazing how they ceased hostilities to share the haystack
Amazed me too, esp that no one tried to kill the unsuspecting enemy during the ceasefire. Some honor amongst men. But then later in the video the Russians massacre POWs. Humans are complicated.
@@davidbaker7246 not unlike what the germans subjected the populations of occupied territories and captured soviet POWs to
I’m hearing impaired is there a full transcript of this?
T4 was in action too in Wehrmacht hospitals.
Be interesting to view a documentary on how wounded Russians were tended to.
A German AI accent would be more authentic for memoirs from German soldiers but thats just me.
If you were in a battle and you used up your ammo and you looked around and found a enemy weapon with plenty of ammo what would you do?
jesus what would i do?probably sit down 24h and think that story carefully thru!
Although at 45:17 "embarked" , "German defenders" and "wide awakea" does sound weird.
Thank you sir. Late in life I've developed a fascination for steppe cultures. We in the US should learn more.
@cristobalvalladares973 So nice of you Sir
They are barbarians, why learn about them?
@@thomaswaynewardbecause modern school teachers don't. My father was part of this Era. It imperative to know this part of history so national socialists and communists don't get a foothold in society ever again.
Learn more from Germany, that's where most of your tactics, building mechanics, sciences and what not came from. the Steppe cultures gave little in these departments.
@@thomaswayneward Just like MAGA.
Lest we Forget
The description of the Russian platoon leader hurtling backwards due to the impact of the bullet tells you how much this narrative is embellished by the ghost writer. Good tale though.
Yeah. Some readings are more sensationalized than others, huh?
Almost sounds fake
Probably an AI created story
It's not an AI created story, I've read it - it's called Sniper on the Eastern Front
@@falconlips5474 so it is a novel?
I am always amazed at how an advanced society could follow the rantings of a mad man.
Well just look at Trump and all the fools who follow him.
We do it regularly. Clinton, Obama, Bush. Fdr, Churchill,. Ironically, Hitler was probably the least crazy, at least in the beginning. He identified the true enemy. But proceed to fight him in error.
Socialists can be very convincing sometimes.
This account paints the author in a very good light and I wonder how much embellishment occurred.
I get the feeling that this is almost completely a work of fiction.
Love the video but the Ai kinda starts to fuck up after about half of the video.
The AI narration seemed to get worse the longer it went, but trying hard to put that out of mind, I found this to be well worth listening to. Cheers.
I don't think it was AI. I just think it was some British bloke (possibly a veteran of UK forces).

The things this brings up in me is the knowledge that these men would be sitting there thinking that what they were dealing with didn't make sense as to why they were suffering. Although I did read one veteran from the Great War as they were going further into Russia as he said to them, enjoy the war while we are finding no real opposition to our moving into enemy territory, if the war turns the peace will make the war seem like a Childs game. I'm sure their wives and girlfriends thought the same thing later on.
This whole thing since the beginning has been a Ai read.
you much be kiddeling.
Would have been so much more deserving had this been narrated by a human
What a lovely story...not.
THIS IS WAR. This is close infantry combat. Many parts of this were my experience, only separated by 66 years. You will live or you will die depending upon your training, learned experience and more than a little bit of random luck. Among the soldiers who make it out, except for the religious fanatics, no one will ever be the same as they were before.
We and I did have the supreme luxury of knowing that our homes and families were safe, that we would be relieved (eventually), that we had a pretty good logistics system behind our side, and that most of our leadership was not insane and not in the thrall of a cult. The other side, I just don't know. May they find peace somewhere, someplace also.
Nope, it is not. Mostly fiction for idiots.
As someone who has not known war, I find difficult to understand the motivations of the Germans in WWII.
My dad was first in the Résistance and then escaped to England to enrol in the Belgian army in exile where he became a sniper, as he was a hunter and his father was a Lancier. That motivation, I understand: that Nazis had brutally and treasonously (in 1914, at less the bloody Kaiser had "asked" to pass) invaded peaceful Belgium, the second time in little time and his own dad was taken prisoner since the blitzkrieg when trying to stop the beast on his horse armed with a lance, a sabre and a revolver, like he did - and won - in WWI... When my father told me the story, I always could feel his anger, more so as he was orphan of his mother. The Résistance was his family and when he reached 18, the age to be able to enlist, he went to London on his own. At that time, it was the right thing to do and very understandable.
But the Nazis... 😲
So it's interesting... And scary...
Thye reference to the drug Pervitin is intersting - first time I have seen a reference to performance enhancing drugs in the war
They even put pervitin in the tins of chocolate. That were sent to the field.
@@akatripclaymore.9679 the panzer chocolate was just caffeinated, not pervitin I don’t believe
The US had some too, but we called it "Benzedrine". Neither sides write or speak about it much as amphetamine had only been invented that decade, and was extracted from plants. So it was about as taboo as caffeine or tobacco at the time.
@@maxamillionjazzhands4034 These drugs might also explain some of the attrocities carried out
I have heard this a handful of times, very surprising pervitin is not metioned more but it being as standard as a cup of joe when it was introduced, they didnt think it was important, I am reading a book on MAC V SOG in Nam and the narrarator says his new squadie tells him "dont touch the speed (dexedrine) people get on that shit and next thing its a one pill or two pill hill, at night the wind through the bamboo becomes rifle stocks bumping together" lol so they knew, at least some did, I feel bad for those who took it and got hooked couldnt imagine a worse feeling, coming off meth while in a war zone.
What a nightmare. When these guys were goose stepping in Berlin little did they realize what was in store for them. Worse than Verdun, worse than the Marne.
The second time I've heard Pervitin referenced. The first time was in the initial invasion of Poland early in the war. I believe the strategy was to keep the infantry fighting well into the next day, exhausting enemy resistance.
31:00 Sad how inhumanity is rewarded with inhumanity as the Nazi's brutalized people they considered less than human,..so the Soviets brutalized them for the same reason. It appears the only people who actually honored 'Red Cross' iconography were Western powers. There are many instances of both German and U.S. doctors treating enemy combatants.
It's amazing how well artificial intelligence can narrate!
I heard the 41 42 winrer was the worst in decades but it sounds like this one was worse.
Excellent English btw, sounds a bit like Mark Felton.
My thoughts exactly
If Paulis would have retreated with his 91000 soldiers to fight another day but his arrogant ego got the best of him he knew months before his surrender he was losing badly
It was not Paulis choice he had to obey orders from hilter
His name is Paulus. And the escape of tje encirclement was far than easy or even possible. Militarily there were good arguments for not breaking out.
Yup, they would just retreat, like trough summer garden :D
I agree then he turned communist for more perks from Stalin causing his family to end up in a concentration camp
Maybe I missed it, but how are they using Russian “explosive” bullets in German Rifles. They were chambered for different rounds. It’s like trying to put the wrong size nut on a bolt. It just won’t work.
I think they are using Russian rifles
Earlier the story mentioned the russian sniper rifles the had
Imagine getting fur lined boots after having leather boots in Russia in winter. Don't burn these lol
I'm enjoying the videos, but may I make a suggestion? You need to add "part 1", "part 2", etc. to the titles. I'm finding it impossible to follow this soldier's story in sequence.
@booksteer7057 Sir, when ever you watch some video ,you will find a link of playlist of that series in video description ,go to that link and you will find all the parts in sequence ,secondly the easiest way is to go to comments section of the video you are watching ,see the first comment (it will be a pinned comment by channel WW2 Tales) ,In this comment you will find the links of all the previous parts of that series ,Kind Regards

To be fair, the Russian have a well known reputation for showing invaders a seriously wild time. Every time.

They were filled with explosive materials, with a plunger primer in the tip. They were used by most snipers of every nationality but were a secret. Look up (explosive sniper round's on CZcams.😮

I just love the computerized British voice with mistakes in pronunciation.
I find my self cheering for the not sees! Thanks you tube
This reads like fiction by someone with more recent military training. Who is the protagonist? I can't find his name anywhere in the blurb.
I think this stuff is made up. Never any attributions in these youtube first person historical vids. EDIT ... And, 2 hours later, this was posted in reply to my query about the name of the sniper ... Sir, Sepp Allerberger, Knight’s Cross.
I'm sure how reliable this is, it sounds like post-war fiction. The author is altogether too aware of what is going on about him and some things seem to fantastical to be believed.
I wonder what the source is.
Catastrophic
35:24 boog
I’ve read stories of the old WW1 vets in the volkssturm telling the young men to retreat to the west and surrender to the Americans, while they held the line and died in place to buy them time. Incredibly brave.
I have found online auctions with Volksturm armbands along with the WW1 veteran association Badges. Seems a lot of the WW1 Veteran based Voksturm battalions/companies were actually reasonably well equipped (in terms of Volksturm standards) compared to other formations within the Volksturm. Probably due to their prior combat experience and discipline from the Great War. The most easily accessible example of this was the 3/115 Siemensstadt Battalion.
And yet the allies slyly sent them back to the Soviets out of anti-German racism.
Collap- sed
In some areas of the world, it will seem like old times.
I kinda hate it when people mix Russians and Soviets. There were a whole bunch of different people who fighting in the red army. Ukrainians, Latvians Lithuanians, Belorussians. To say that it was the Russians who took Moscow would be incorrect as the armies that marched into Berlin were Ukrainian and Belorussian
You could say the same about the wermacht. Those who invaded Russia weren’t just German, they were also Ukrainian, Romanian, Italian and Belgian.
The mentioned nations also fought against Stalin 😈 small groups of course.
@@asullivan4047yes, i believe that is what i stated in my comment.
If I was Russian, I’d have hard time finding pride in my country, they had to depend on America to win, while fighting an enemy who was in a multi front war! What took you so long, and what’s up with all casualties, 20 million? The German army had half that many, as they were better soldiers, technically you won, but you sure got your ass kicked winning.
Kind of doubt the distinction made any difference to the Germans
damn shame so many on both sidews of Nazi's vs Russians survived
Excellent history delivered by an AI narrator--he misses the nuanced pronunciation of quite a few words.
The AI bs is everywhere - someday, everyone will despise the acceptance of it
The Germans thought they were superior human beings. The world taught them a lesson. I have some sympathy for those German soldiers that were conscripted and had no choice but to fight. But justice was done to Germany .
Keep believing that wartime propaganda instead mate. And don't forget to take your vaccine!
WW@. LOVE the stories. HATE the robo voice.
I think it’s all bulls….how did the German medic knew Mongolian language and Mongolian German.
These are stories, “Stories” fiction.
Another example that shows fiction. “Exploding rifle bullets”. These didn’t exist. He says we used some of our coveted captured bullets. Captured because they “Germans” were too honourable to create “explosive bullets “. Russians and Germans used different calibers cartridges so that’s a problem, and there is no such bullet. And snipers don’t shoot at heads usually.
FICTIONAL STORIES, entertainment bedtime stories.
They spoke Russian
