Yeah, and it's sad that next the korean vets will follow, and then the Vietnam vets as well.

WWIII: well hello there!

I guess the last WW2 vets will almost certainly be German... those from the Hitlerjugend and Volkssturm who fought in the final stage of the war. Officially you had to be 16 years old but in the last weeks of the war even 14 and 15 year olds got drafted to fight in the Volkssturm. A 14 year old in 1945 would be 89 today

@@talvisota327 yeah, I just wish there was a way to go back in time so that we could get their story before they do pass. It's important to do so because people need to know what exactly happened.

I'm still hoping to meet one in person and they're dwindling fast 😥

Imagine what covid has done to the ww2 survivors left... in the uk the death wave was primarily in care homes. :(

Yes they are

Very much so!!

I agree. Hopefully the guy doing this gets an award. At least he reached the 100k sub mark where he gets perks from youtube. I know of another great hero. I don't know him in real life but I feel like I do. His name is Martin Tyner. He is actually nominated for the 2020 Indianapolis Prize for conservation. All of the nominees tend to come from wealthy backgrounds with extensive education. Martin is just a really special dude and doesn't fit the mold. He only has 94k sub right now and it would be awesome if some of you wanted to check out his channel. He is s trying to reach 100k. so that he can get some perks that come with it. I'm a big fan and I feel better knowing that I'm trying to help him by putting a link to his channel out there on another great channel I watch. His channel is mostly about rescuing giant birds of prey. Amazing stuff. Thank you. ukposts.info/the/BE6R3KGFV5kdqPIVzuHE3A.html

@Calebthink you answered your own question, its because they were Germans, not all fighting for the Nazis were Nazis.

@Marcus Deitz Wether you are atheist, christian, muslin, whatever, indeed, there must be some divine forces which saved him.

God's goodness and mercy was upon him and taking care of him during evil days God bless him .

@@maritzalara6222 and then why millions of people had died? why god let other kids to die? forget about this f... destiny and god tale. if god would exist he wouldn't let all millions to die for nothing. this man stayed alive only because of his intelligence, talent and some luck.

@@nuvola-b cause he gave people the freedom of choice, and he is gonna judge you by how you lived your life and how you treated others, this is our world, so we can do that shit here, but in his world, he won't let us

@@nuvola-b agree

That's the Polish people for you. No matter how many bastards try to invade us, we have never given up. Teutons, Ottomans, Russians, Prussians (later Germans), Austrians, you name them, we fought them. And we never WILL give up. EVER. But we aren't all about dark and gloominess, oh no. We can go through hell and back, but you can bet your ass we're going to find something to laugh about at the end of the day! :)

Does that really matter? יהושע

He can thank America for that, USA!!!

@@scottkrafft6830 my moms from poland. You guys are the strongest people on earth

You have the best comment. It is truly remarkable

Here in Italy people never learn, there are plenty of fascist people, that everyday go cry on Mussolini's tomb, this is one of the cases where terrorists do a good thing if they throw a bomb XD

Me on the other hand I love history and this part in history is dark but I thank all the men who fought for our country to give us our freedom from a evil regime that could have destroyed us all but we persevered and won

Agreed. It's like how in a lifetime a person becomes wiser by making mistakes while they are young and then learning from them and doing better by the time they are much older. If you know history then you know to avoid the mistakes people have done in the past and have a better present and future as a generation.

Is anyone happy with the EU TODAY? I mean look with open eyes and what you can see? Germany got another chance for free and turned it to another opportunity to dominate everyones lives to the worse!!! If i start writing more, i will write a book about it but my life and experience as a Greek the past 10 years under 3 memorandums and rules which fucked up everyones life here, in order tfor them t buy silver and gold for a penny, is living proof. And hey... here comes another 7 year new memorandum with new austerity rules and taxes for a new loan which will answer to the corona virus damage. Way to go heart changing Germany, way to go humanitarians bravo!!! Continue to play a blind eye to what Erdogan is doing and his invasion and illegal sale of guns to Libya and so much more... yes you Germany, the one that blocked any form of european action as an answer to his doings. Even though he acts exactly like Hitler before 1939 and he dreams to recreate the Ottoman Empire. And history is repeated...

TheKoreanSeal it’s happening again, a couple days ago the Chinese concentrations camps for Muslims passed the number of casualties of the holocaust. It’s a whole at her decade, where watching millions get murders and no one talks about it. The thing is I’m 16 and idk what to do for people to listen.

That's okay, I did enough for at least two people.

I know you mean well - but not crying doesn't equal strength. And crying doesn't equal weakness. Of course I must agree on him being a unbelievable strong person to endure the things he had to endure.

He has had a whole life to grieve and reflect on those events. He has shed his tears and accepted that this has happened and now can reminisce on the past while staying grateful for his opportunities and long life.

I’m sure he has spilled enough tears in his day to cover a thousand lifetimes.

My thoughts also. Strong person

But no one is commemorating the Soviet planes that gave him his opportunity to escape

I think it was amazing how much of a life this man lived. Both events saved him both most likely bring him so much joy every day

Perfect comment. 👍💜💯

Hear, Hear!!!

And entitlement

I'm not jealous of him at all. That's crazy. Amazing man though

You're jealous of a man who had his entire family murdered and lived through hell sounds "humble?" That's just sick. Be careful with words, they have meaning.

I'm italian and my grandfather fought in Tobruk, he was imprisoned by the British but managed to escape by counting the time between one guard round and the next. He was welcomed into a family of Italian settlers who protected him until he returned to Sicily where he commanded a carabinieri station until the end of the war. I was impressed by one of his anecdotes: initially he stood guard in a prison camp with British inside, when he fell prisoner in turn he recognized an old english prisoner who only told him: it's war. He often talked about the war and I listened to him less than I should have and now i regret it.

My Grandfather was in the Italian Army as well. He spent time in a German prison camp after the switch. His brother died in Africa. My Grandfather hated the German Army. I have 2 pics of him from the war.

Me too. My Grandpa was a Sergeant in WW2. He was wounded by a sniper, and was stabbed with a bayonet, he lived to be 68.

When I was growing up a friend of mine's father was a tail gunner in a bomber oh, he had three 1 inch scars in his arms from a fighter plane trying to shoot down his bomber, when I was a little kid I was fascinated with staring at them scars oh, what a stories he could tell

Icuknowlibra is a good channel about italian ww2 vets.

Im a millenial from Philippines but Im still watching history like this😇

May that brave soul Rest In Peace. He will never be forgotten

The grey zone I believe about the uprising in treblinka is brutally real

not too long ago man! only been 75 years really never forget that.

This story is movie worthy. The story teller being a sole surviver and the 101st making him family. Bravo to the 101st. for helping to define what that generation was about. The greatest generation!

Not a day goes by will this part of history ever be unimportant!

@Bulldog Debit get a brain man. I'm afraid yours isn't working

Thank you. We Polish nation will alwyas stand against evil!

Same

I just put this up on Facebook . I heard Facebook is denying that the Holocaust happen. That what I heard the Facebook is denying the Holocaust, so people should put on more UKposts video of the Nazi war against the Jew people . When I was a young kid I go over visit my aunt ,and her husband was Jew ,so I heard story.

I’m 12 and I watch all these

@@boomnater8876 good, that's a start. but really i meant for all of the kids in college who think america is the worst country ever

I am

@@joshwall4263 America is the worst country. Adolf Hitler specifically said that he based the Holocaust (How he executed it) off of what America did to Native Americans, and he based the Nuremberg laws off of the Jim Crow laws

Trump

Zeno....I can tell you what happened.... We, American society at large tossed out God from the public square, from the White House, to the school house....infiltration from early communists such as Alger Hiss and Owen Lattimore, and Frederick Vanderbilt Field, all contributed to the moral decline and the rot of corruption from inside....today, America is teetering on the very edge of a great fall into Communism. We need God in America again. ✝️🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸

Yes, damn true. Should be required viewing.

agreed man

Are you speaking about the Syria?

Couldn't agree more ❤🥲🍀

Honestly, it doesn't make any sense to me! These stories are so important and the people telling them are quickly fading. I was getting teary eyed listening to this while working. God bless these people and the people who served!
