A lot of time has passed, but how do British and German veterans view each other today?
We introduced two of them to each other, for the first time.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Putting politics to one side is difficult, but for German veterans coming back, the memories are no less painful. Thousands of them died on D-Day.
We’re joined afterwards by two more British veterans - Bill Gladden and Dickie Forester.

Speaking German is optional. Actually a lot of people know it and speak it, in fact the English language is heavily based on the old Germanic language. Germany survived the nazis.

HAD the allies fought with Germany against nazi russia, Things would have gone very differently.

@Eric Chambers well it depends at what time in the war and what unit if it was an SS or wehrmacht soldier from 1939 to maybe 1942 they would very likely trust in Hitler and believe they are doing what is right for the country as losses (not casualties I meant losing a battle) where small and on the whole until late 1942 the germans were holding out pretty well but if you get into mid/late 1943-1944 things would prolly start to change especially in areas like the North African campaign or the eastern front were troops had either had suffered great defeat as in the north African campaign or had suffered both extremely heavy casualties and defeats as in the eastern front which by 1944 the germans were definitely on the fall back so in that case it would still be likely that a good amount of SS soldiers would be loyal though some wehrmacht elements and even some SS would probably be having doubts in Hitler by then and by 1945 most units had pretty much lost hope in the war I mean of course they still fought hard even then but especially in the case of volksturm units and other hastly thrown together forces and many wehrmacht units would probably have realised by then that Hitler's dream were a bunch of horseshit and the war was probably lost for them I mean when an alliance from the western front is steadily making it's way from the west and the Soviets are steamrolling through the east do you really think anyone at that point in time that wasnt a nazi fanatic really thought they could come out of the war victorious or that they could even stop half the enemy's I mean by late 1945 most German units were probably more concerned of the fact that they should better surrender to the Brits or the Americans then the Soviets because the Soviets would probably just either kill you or send you off to a tough labor camp then the thought of a strategic defense for the fatherland and Hitler

You fight because the county that you represent has indoctrinated you that you are fighting for freedom and honor and that the country and the people you are fighting are evil and that God is on your side. Your supposed enemy believes the same about you and your country. Mainly you fight because people are shooting at you.

@@mustardpower7123 During situations of pain and death the true face of people is revealed. And that also means that there is much space for greatness. Maybe the great people might be a big minority but they shine brighter than it would have been ever possible during peace times. Also during those times when the virus is raging in several countries there are people that sacrifice much and show how great they are. An italian priest, for example, gave his respirator to a much younger person who wouldn't have made it otherwise. He knew he wouldn't make it himself without the respirator but it was a true act of selflessness. He died shortly after but the young person survived. Those people might be rare but they exist. And those are deeds that deserve high praise and respect. Showing compassion and mercy in times which leave not much room for it makes it even more remarkable.

“We’re more than that, we’re brothers” that made me cry, it also houses lesson I think everyone could do with, if they can forgive each other and be decent and kind to one another after all that slaughter and bloodshed then I think we should try our best to forgive like they did, also “don’t go to war, it’s a waste of time, it doesn’t get you anywhere” that’s something I think many agree with, I certainly do and I don’t know many people who would willingly fight a war, probably because nowadays (when I say that I am referring to how it was seen far earlier) we see it as slaughter and a waste of lives, so many people die on both sides for the rich men at the top to gain power, land, wealth and the like, I know people who are in worse off places mentally than they were before a war, I respect the soldiers and their bravery, I respect them for risking and/or giving their lives but I don’t respect the people who start it, war should only come if there’s absolutely no other option because the cost of even one life is a large and terrible price, there’s no honour in war, there’s only honour among the people who fight it.
