Hey everyone, as usual you can find the sources linked here and in the description box. This video is almost certainly going to get demonetised but I hope you enjoy it anyway. However, because of this I'm considering setting up a members system where those of you who really want to support me can through KZitem, I would be interested to hear from everyone whether they'd prefer this or the conventional Patreon option. Edit: If my voice sounds different in this video it's because I had to record the audio while I had a slight cold. Sorry! Sources: www.dropbox.com/s/7dyg8x6kpxi0uj1/Paris%20Video.docx?dl=0

When the STO was announced in 43, my great grandfather took his bike and fled from Picardy and went into hiding in Normandy. He was working in a factory during the occupation and had been an artilleryman during the battle of France. Unfortunatly, he never spoke very much about the war and what he did during the occupation so that is all I know.

Life under occupation must have been humiliating and depressing. Especially when the Germans invade with uppity and zealous feelings of superiority. Must have been amazing when learning about D-day and waiting day by day for the front to reach you. Thank you, France for helping us during our revolution. We’re proud to help you guys from the Nazi muddy trench Germany pushed you into. Glad Germany was also freed from that nazi cesspool, after shoving most of Europe into it. All the survivors, including my great uncle are the lucky ones. That war was one of the most inhumane ever. Wouldn’t think even ancient warriors would be able to handle the kind of horrors Modern war can give.

The Eastern Front and the Russians were famously a threat that was held over German soldiers both by their own command and Western Allies holding them as POWs - in the 60 Minutes piece on the Ritchie Boys, one of them told of how since he spoke Russian and they somehow had hold of a Soviet officer's uniform. If an interrogation wasn't going well he'd barge in and demand, in Russian, to be handed his prisoner and that usually got the interviewee (a commissioned officer/Nazi Party member or even SS) to open right up so he could stay in the Yanks' hands.

I cannot remember his name, but I read about that guy and a few days later I actually saw him at a University of Michigan football game on Veterans Day. He was actually a Jew who had been forced to flee Germany shortly before the Holocaust escalated, and accepted a job interrogating German soldiers because he understood the language and culture so well. (I think also understood Russian because his parents were Eastern Europeans who fled to Germany).

It is really refreshing to hear another point of view. Lastly I must commend the writing / script as it is extremely well put together and to the point. It feels to me like many either don't take the time to create a script or blab on unnecessarily...almost like they are trying to hit a time mark for their videos.

Wonderful and well-informing video. I'm a bit surprise about the remark that "nowhere else could soldiers experience this so-and-so". It is my understanding, that the occupation of Denmark and the Netherlands was quite peaceful for the occupiers as well. Of course, Amsterdam and Copenhagen couldn't match the luxery of Paris, but Denmark was the so-called "Whipped cream-front" and "butter-front" as well because of the peaceful bounty of dairy products and, on the surface at least, easy-going locals.
