    When the allies stormed France, in 1942, German soldiers were wondering when the Allies' horses would appear. The general belief is that the allies were not going to be able to go deep into fatherland Europe. When American aviators started throwing rockets with phosphorous over German defenses, they understood this was not a horses war anymore.
    BTW, in the US most people don't know that a great majority of Europeans saw the Germans as protectors of Europe, as in fact Germans soldiers saw themselves.
    Great video.
    There are plenty of sources on how German soldiers experienced the invasion.

    I have listened to a few of Professor Snyder's talks on CZcams. I think his analysis of past events is extremely interesting, however, the minute he starts equating past events to the current US administration and policy he starts to drift off into loony land. Someone who could equate current policy to 1930s Germany is stretching to the point of foolishness. But what I always wonder is if he is concerned with the ever increasing efforts of students & faculty to prevent and harass speakers on campus for which some are opposed? Is he concerned with governments in Europe arresting people over their speech because someone deems it to be "hate speech" or politically incorrect. Now these circumstances worry me more. I hope he is speaking out on this?

      @@HotPinkst17 On a certain level, as the commenter said, it is absolutely normal human behavior. The holocaust is certainly the worst mass killing to ever take place, but to say it is unique invalidates millions and millions of people and communities that have been wiped out for similar reasons. And this idea of “never again” is delusional in regards to how many genocides have taken place since ww2. The holocaust is immensely tragic and important, but humans have been slaughtering each other for thousands of years at this point. That is important to understanding how this even happens.

      @@thereisnocarolinHR Of course, agreed. What happened in the USSR between the Russian civil war and WW2 for instance was more destructive in terms of monstrous culture and loss of life than the holocaust, but Neil Brown's comment rhymed too much with holocaust deniers for my taste. While it may be unrealistic to think genocide will no longer be possible, we can inoculate against it somewhat by educating people about the conditions and steps that previously led to them. When we see the patterns we can stand up and do something before it is too late.
