      I know that it's hard, but I hope that you will.
      This is kind of important.
      And every child in Europe learns about this so it hopefully will *never* happen again.
      For what it's worth the end is actually kind of positive though.
      Also, I totally get being angry.
      We are too.
      My country was invaded by them.
      But anger doesn't solve problems.
      If we want to make sure that this *never* happens again we need to learn what happened, *why* it happened, and *understand* it.
      Because at the end of the day, if we just look away and this ends up being forgotten we're *doomed* to repeat this.
      Indeed there's concentration camps right now where civilian Muslims in China are being held, and we honestly don't know enough about what's happening to them.
      Just like we didn't know enough about the concentration camps back then till Germany was invaded and they where found.
      Regular Germans had heard rumors of course, just like we've heard rumors about those camps in China.
      But they didn't *know*.
      This is important here and now.
      And the mindset of these peoples exists today in all countries to varying degrees.
      This is part of why liberals in Europe are looking at America with so much worry...
      Because Trump reminds us so, so much about some of these people...
      But don't get me wrong, this exists *here* too.
      Although WW2 was a strong vaccine for most of Europe against facism and it has thankfully taken the far right a *long* time to recover from those days...

      no part 2 its to hard, my Grandpa was wounded in WW II and surrender 1944 in italy, he lost his brother in russia and wasn´t a nazi. his first wife burn his papers to protect her and his life. 1932 he was member of the communist party. But WW II wasn´t the most devastating War for germany the 30 years war was harder some regions lost up to 70% of there population. For the world most devastating was the mongol invasion and some zivil war in china. For his own people are very deadly Mao in China, Stalin in the USSR, Hitler in Germany, Pol Pott in cambodia, Idi Amin in Uganda and many CIA supportet South American Diktators. Maybe ask why the Iran hate the USA what the CIA has done there to Mohammad Mossadegh he was an demokratic Iranian politician, author, and lawyer who served as the 35th Prime Minister of Iran from 1951 to 1953.

      Fun fact (or rather "Bad fact"): In Germany, the situation of the 6th Army in Stalingrad was described with the following quote: "Black as night, white as snow, the Red Army all around!" The color combination is based on the swastika flag. Anyone who said this quote openly and was observed doing so was immediately shot in the street for high treason. Nobody was allowed to publicly announce the situation in Russia.
      The Soviet Union had the most casualties of any nation. 14.2% of the total population died. On the German side 9.2%. Not counting the victims of the Nazi regime among Germans (Jews, communists, homosexuals).

    I mean I know there wasn’t the war in the American territory but still
    As a french person I know that this was the hardest war for civilians and our contry was invaded by Germany because of a betrayal of « General Petain » the gouverner at the moment.
    And Nazi people were just horrible with jewish people, they were shot and threw in pits
    Clearly one of the most sad moments that I passed in school 💀
    And after the end of the war in France (8th may of 1945) relations were hard between countries especially in Europe and our country was destroyed… We had to rebuild everything
    It must have been such an horrible life at this time ..

    It's actually shocking to me that all of this is new to you. Here in Germany a lot of time is spent in school to go over how the war happened in the first place and what horrible atrocities were committed in ordner to prevent something like that from ever happening again. I would not say that I got used to seeing these kinds of things but we already know about them. That's why I was kind of surprised by the rapid ending of the Video because you couldn't handle it anymore.

    I don't like the Term " Nazi"for all German Soldiers. There was a huge difference between the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS , too. Most, Soldiers who had to serve in the Wehrmacht has been normal Citizen, who had no choice. My Great Grandfather was a member of the socialist Party, SPD, and therefor He was in Prison under the Nazi Regime. But nevertheless, my Grandfather and his Brother had to Join the Wehrmacht , and Go to War. Tough subject, and unfortuenly it shows until today: Humans are the Humans worst Enemy.

    Among the worst wars in terms of deaths are the 'Taiping Rebellion' in China.
    The population numbers in China were pretty well known before it started, and twenty years after that war finally ended, the Chinese records mostly show that over half the population of China had vanished.
    Twenty years after it was over, the population was less than half that before it began.
    Compared to the population of France after WWI, which showed a slight dip in the rate of increase by 1920, this was death on a genocidal scale.

And most importantly, he was well motivated. And believing in your cause and having a strong motivation, even without good uniforms and weapons, you can achieve a lot.
    Therefore, the German army was not so easy to defeat.
    And these victims and losses are real figures of what the price of victory in that war was.

    I believe the final count of dead in WWII (both military & civilians) was 54 million - just short of the population of the UK today.
    The USSR had the hardest fighting and lost 20 million people. If it wasn’t for the USSR I can’t see how the allies would have won.
    However it was the industrial might of the USA that enabled all the other allies (including the USSR) to fight, the supplies sent to the USSR from the USA was via the Artic convoys from the UK to the port Archangel in northern Russia, lots of UK sailors died in these convoys.

    Kamikaze were pilots who dived into their targets and were not expected to survive, in fact it was considered dishonourable to survive. At the time japanese people saw the Emperor has a living deity and they gave their lives for him when they were not even allowed to hear his voice or see him. Culturally it was a great shock for the country when Emperor Hirohito spoke on the radio to declare surrender, it was like a divinity coming down from heaven. Many of the surviving german POW's captured by the russians only returned home in the 1950's.

      А не противоречат ли убеждения "Ни один русский не хочет войны" с реальной действительностью, в которой человек начинает оправдывать целесообразность войны? Под миролюбием как раз таки и подразумевается отказ от желания войны, который на ваш взгляд присущ русскому человеку.
      Заявляя, что " каждый понимает этот ужас", мы наблюдаем патриотический кретинизм от лиц, разъезжающих под лозунгами "Можем повторить", вопринимающих победу в войне как показатель превосходства, а себя в качестве поборников борьбы с нацизмом, не замечая аморальности своих собственных убеждений.
      Интересно, может ли пропаганду бесчеловечных ценностей оправдывать простым "взаимодействием между людьми"?
      О каких рамках может идти речь, когда поощяряют культ насилия?
      Как человеческая жизнь может быть бесценна в обществе где акт самопожертования считают наивысшей ценностью, который используют в качестве инструмента для отправки впечатлительных на убой?
      "Нельзя формировать миролюбие убивая"-также как и будучи жертвой ты не формируешь в себе черты миролюбия. Человеку в основном свойственно полагаться на импульсивные чувства, чем на рациональное осмысление произошедшего. Поэтому зачастую жертва воспринимает месть и расправу как акт справедливого насилия,
      "Нельзя говорить о прошлом глядя и вздыхая... "-равнозначно как и о событиях прошлого, воспринимая на свой счёт ввергающие в ужас события, очевидцем которых ты не являлся. Кстати поэтому заявлять о том, что именно русский имеет наибольший резон ненавидеть войну не имеет за собой никаких оснований. Он может ненавидеть и предпочитать войну в равной степени как и немец, канадец, еврей или китаец. Не важно насколько тяжелое прошлое было у твоего народа, не ты испытывал недостаток серотонина, находясь в окопах, или в тылу получая извещение о смерти близкого человека.

    Germany and Japan wanted more land, for different reasons:
    Japan is not a resourceful country and wanted to invade, especially nations in the Pacific, to get resources, and since they wouldnt be able to the US on a fair fight, they tried to immobilise them by hitting Pearl Harbour, which was like a navy base with ships, submarines and what not
    Germany had a philosophy that their people (well, Aryan race) was the one true race, and so they wanted to take land so that they can occupy it and essentially grow this race, hence why they were very hateful on Jews, Slavs, Russians, Poles, etc.
    It is unfortunate becoz both Germany and Japan had armies that we indoctrinated so much to be hateful and kill if it means winning, and also, in the case of Japan, that surrender was not an option, and it was honourable for them to die in battle for their nation, hence the kamikaze attacks (suicide bombing if you will).
    We should learn for this as a youth, that our ancestors (Im South African, so our great parents fought alongside British) were very brave to die for a life that we live right now and are not appreciating as we should, becoz it was built on blood and loss

    18 million, more recent calculations put it at 20 million. At that time, 194 million people lived in the USSR. This was not only because of the Germans, but also because the USSR didn't take their soldiers into account. That hasn't changed to this day, if you look at it in Ukraine. They send new, poorly trained soldiers on an attack to test how good the defenses are, and then send better troops where the defenses seem weakest. It doesn't give a damn how much goes on it.

      Because they were not ready for war and needed almost two years to train and organize for the war against the Nazis, they bought their time by sending inexperienced soldiers into battle. Unlike the UK and USA, which were across the sea and had a few years to arm and train. In addition, the Soviets caused 90 percent of all German casualties, and the most trained and motivated Nazis. On the Western Front, the Germans sent inexperienced soldiers against the Western forces, on D-Day half of the German soldiers were minors there, I think, I have already forgotten the data.

    и даже 14 миллионов скорее всего не точная цифра! для ссср война закончилась в 45 году! спустя 60+ лет из болот и лесов России и Беларуси до сих пор достают останки бойцов ! вместе с их экипировкой и так далее... находят их родственников) которым уже за 60 ... на протяжении 60+ лет после завершения войны! не всех бойцов еще достали из земли! и далеко не всех достанут! многие тысячи так и останутся в той земле по которой мы ходим! что бы найти родственников и похоронить! из ( 14 -50) милионов погибших до сих пор идут поиски и раскопи по всей рф и снг! все усеянно трупами и костями тех кто отдал свою жизнь за то что бы мы сегодня их всмпомнили хорошим словом)
