Perhaps just a technicality, but a POW is one of your own people held by an enemy brThe enemy prisoners you hold are PWs

I have a 2nd or 3rd cousin in Italy I was told, while visiting there, that he was captured by the Americans during WW2 I asked how he was treated and he responded, "good, we had ice cream on Sundays" When I returned to the US I enlisted in the US Army and served in the honor guard for 3 years I planned on joining but when I heard that, I was convinced that American Military, despite flaws, has honorable soldiers and leadership

I've been listening to this diary over the past couple weeks, and while it makes for an interesting story and perspective, it's best views as a fictional recounting of likely real events While the book is a collection of Helmut Horner's diary, it is HIGHLY unlikely a German soldier such as himself would have time to write such thoughts down during combat and later as a POW Here, is able to recall, in perfect detail, the minutiae of silly arguments with his fellow comrades and the smallest camp details And there is no way he'd be journaling his escape plans whilst they were ongoing It's simply impossible for him to have written these sorts of details as they occurredbrbrNow, that doesn't mean these events didn't happen They probably did it But the exact recounting of them is likely fiction

How arrogant for Germans to complaint about Parissians taking revenge!

Remember when MAGA wanted to hang thwe Vice President for NOT installing his boss as President?
Comment from : @SatansSimgma

An interesting series of videos and I do enjoy them Is there any way to connect these to a particular person and find what happened to them after the war? Perhaps some additional photos even if just generic ones would be good The "computer voice" is pretty good with few errors but is there another one available so they don't all sound the same? Thanks again

The title should have been: "Being A German POW In America Made Me Realize Why We Lost"
Comment from : @valadams3126

8 out of 10 German soldiers killed during WW2 were killed on the eastern front

What happened to American narrators ?
Comment from : @randallhatcher6028

The French found their "courage" when they were safe, to attack unarmed Germans
Comment from : @textrue9088

While I cant speak for those who traded with the prisoners, while I bet they were initially upset about getting a fake ring, if you asked one of them right now, if they were alive and still had the ring, I bet they wouldnt care what it was made out of
Comment from : @roygbiv5164

So HOW does this long "story" reflect the Title? NEVER did I hear a quote by a German that reflected how he realize WHY Germany lost!
Comment from : @balancedactguy

These stories while looking at SAME, ONE picture for almost an hour, get boring Mix it up with a few photos!! How hard would that be??
Comment from : @balancedactguy

My dad entered the Army in 1944 and deployed to Germany in 1945 right as the German Surrender took place He told me when he got off the truck in a German city the first time - he was amazed to see German soldiers [without rank emblems or military badges] running the place Even the police officers were German soldiers Here were young Americans arriving in a city run by the enemy and the Germans were all smiles and very nice to him They all appeared relieved the War was over and Hitler killed himself The Germans knew Americans did not hate them The relief of not being in the hands of Russians was obvious

Pure Fiction The rank of "Lance Corporal" was not In the United States Army, or the Warmacht, in WW2
Comment from : @thomaskline5164

this guy is a defeated POW spending every waking hour trying to feel superior about something - sad psychology

Allied POW's were marched through towns and were assaulted by the German populations

We were a Christian nation Nazism arose out of Nietzscheian nihilism We are now fast becoming an atheist Marxist nation I have no hope that we will remain a moral nation

The Russians executed POW’s who came home, including Stalin’s son
Comment from : @Dulcimertunes

I wish these titles would agree with the content
Comment from : @NextExiter

I remember people buying candy and cigarettes with money hard to come by, to throw to POWs Maybe we should have just turned the arrogant bastards over to the Russians and saved the effort
Comment from : @lancemckissick6771

Loads of people bashing the French I recommend writing your insults in French so that the French can read them and have a good laugh because I doubt they give a shit
Comment from : @PaperbackWriter102

This nazi is a fool as I said what my aunt told me this foolish nazi should have been greatful
Comment from : @James-yg4xu

My aunt married into our family because my uncle fell in love and married her She was German, she told me about her father and brother Her father was captured by the Russian army, her brother was captured by the USarmy, when her brother came home he was healthy and had skills as a carpenter, when her father came home he was near dead Shouldn't that tell you the story
Comment from : @James-yg4xu

My uncle knew about the copper scam but gave in just to help
Comment from : @James-yg4xu

Helmut has no idea of his luck He could have died or worse become a prisoner of the Soviets brHe perhaps doesn't know the horrible conditions his Kamerades faced at the "tender mercies" of the SovietsbrI will mark it up as the lack of information
Comment from : @southernmankeepinghishead1009

I like how the guards and prisoners exchanged items through the fence

The British were reluntant to supply weapons to the French Resistance, they were afraid that they would use them to fight other French Groups

Being An American POW Made Me Reilase Why We Lost??? the title and Video do not go together? I don't get it 🤬👎
Comment from : @Love4pizza

My mother was 5 years old in 1945 on the east cost of England Many German soldiers were housed nearby and could often be seen marching to some sort of manual labor project One day, my mother was on her bike when she saw Germans marching towards her as she furiously tried to pedal back home They were coming closer and closer, towering above her with their big noisy boots She panicked and fell from her bike, her life was over A tall blonde boy picked her from the walk and gently put her on the bike as she hysterically fought for her life She miraculously made it home, still alive, but absolutely terrified We have all laughed over the years about that story I always wondered what ever happened to the young man who helped Mother onto her bike
Comment from : @rmr5740

Honestly, how tf did they expect the French to treat them?
Comment from : @Retnoob

People used to love their country and government to death America is losing it's love of it's government because the money they are paid and bribes that come with a place in Congress turns them into ugly hateful slaves of it It is lucky for the services that technology has made it possible to make war with less bodies
Comment from : @OLDUSAFMedic

Is this fiction or did a real soldier tell this story?
Comment from : @danr1920

This is like watching a filmstrip in school but the picture never changes
Comment from : @rikijett310

Too bad Helmut was such a loser and couldn't just tell the story without crying about how badly he was treated constantly obviously he didn't care at all about the millions killed by his beloved German military he thinks is so perfect Lucky the Americans didn't execute all of them for what they did
Comment from : @wb6162

Thank you for sharing this report
Comment from : @fnowat

The Canadian army was the funniest, when the germans under their guard were getting unruly the guards would leave all their weapons outside the wire and go into the camp and hockey brawl with the Germanslol
Comment from : @BradFalck-mn3pc

A lot of the allied troops had seen some of the death camps and they had a huge amount of contempt for their prisoners
Comment from : @BradFalck-mn3pc

It amazing how Helmut always feels he is the victim
Comment from : @edwardgilhooley1499

Hate runs deep in the heart of all of us, it's only the love of Jesus that can save us from this

If only they had experienced for even a month the starvation and treatment of the Jews and others who were forced into labor and death camps

Copper is worth more than a can of Spam!
Comment from : @jackrosario9990

The narrator implies there is a difference between the German Army and the Nazis Is this actually true? I'm skeptical because it just seems like in later accounts many Germans just wanted to distance themselves from the Nazis Kind of like how Speer tried to portrayed himself as a good nazi or local Germans saying they knew nothing about the death camps

Comment from : @denniscollins7472

How many Allied POWs were killed by Germans for nothing? Were any of their guards ever punished?
Comment from : @Outlier999

The Axis lost because they were outnumbered and the Allies had superior war production, logistics, and supply lines The Germans had great "super-weapons" but they were too few and came out too late Plus, they overengineered their tanks Also, sometimes they were just outfought
Comment from : @Outlier999

Poor little innocent soldier just a victim ((talk about seeing the the world through Nazi coloured glasses
Comment from : @paolow1299

This episode has a lot more horrible ai reading mistakes than usual
Comment from : @arseneken

The sad part is it costs the US guard nothing for the trade! Even though the Germans were treated far better than the allied troops were treated by the NAZI'S!!!
Comment from : @kevingouldrup9265

Planning like Nazi Germans
Comment from : @lindaeasley5606

I'm confused by the interrogation I didn't think he answered enough questions for a determination to be made, but apparently, the interrogator heard what he needed Was the Right or Left corner for members of the party? Initially, he was asked to go to the Left but they all ended up on the Right
Comment from : @cfgman84

The Germans started a war which they lost… what kind of treatment was expected?
Comment from : @MH-fb5kr

Meanwhile, the battles raged on Over 40, 000 British civilians lost their lives to German bombs, and act the Germans initiated
Comment from : @raywhitehead730

I don't care if he suffered or not I care about the concentration camp people who suffered, the millions in slave labor with less to eat than him, who had to work until they died,, innocent men, women and children marched naked outside into gas Chambers to die, the executions of non-soldiers, and so on I suppose the Allies should have treated them better but it's hard to muster sympathy when German victims were treated far worse The SS wiped out at least one entire French village alone My only regret is he probably didn't know these things I'd like a broadcast of how he viewed his captivity compared to the treatment of German captives, most who weren't combatants
Comment from : @steveelsholz5297

I really enjoy the stories and your narration but there is one thing that I would like to see if you could have a kind of slide show of relative pictures and clips I know that it is a bit more work for you but I believe that you will get more listeners and subs I had mentioned this on another channel and his subs went up substantially Just saying
Comment from : @jbrobertson6052

The final statement, "Death has reached into the camp today," I found to be particularly ironic Notably death reached into a high prrcentage of German camps and at orders of magnitude higher every single day This prisoner rails against unfairness? Really?
Comment from : @meaders2002

How did the Germans treat their prisoners in their camps? Actually I know, and anyone with a small knowledge of history knows
Comment from : @richardtardo5170

It’s easy to forget that they were young people who were called to duty They all had lives & families they had to leave behind
Comment from : @johnblaze5252

Who can trust the French? Interesting stories from eye witnesses after the Allied take over of Paris
Comment from : @richardthornhill4630

These Nazi's bitching about their poor treatment is ironic, they deserved worse
Comment from : @dodgeewanker2179

Would be interesting to hear the diary of a Russian prisoner of war and how they were treated by the Germans!
Comment from : @user-xi4qt9my8v

my 18 year old father, blind in one eye and deaf in one ear, landed in one of the following waves at Normandy as a tech sergeant cook , actually made long a long term friend while "guarding" POWs in the sculleries and food prep areas a nd would visit together frequently, the POW immigrated to the US at his first chance, I would listen to them roll from French to German to English and back around again "Old Army buddy" has a different meaning for me
Comment from : @dennisjones9044

Germans here wouldn’t be smiling if they were looking at Russians
Comment from : @rosaliedill7088

I can’t speak about this Helmut, but I’d like people to remember that’s it’s been found that most of the Wehrmacht did indeed take part in the war crimes that we all know happened I hate to have to remind you all of how Germans did treat prisoners of war How they ended up taking millions of people for slave labor, and how near the end they took at least a couple of hundred thousand French for that purpose as well I have very little sympathy for these prisoners who were taken care of vastly better than they took care of theirs Let’s never forget that
Comment from : @melgross

Is there a condensed version of this story? ;-) I did not realize Germans were such 'wordy' people And, I'm pretty darn wordy myself
Comment from : @Sapwolf

Why the clickbait title? How does it relate to the video content?

Absolute gibberish!! Just rambling ger pow talk! No follow thru on title! Chan ought to be fined!

I wonder was that pork spam?
Comment from : @williamryder9785

These stories sound like the 'The Hitler Diary' found years ago!
Comment from : @billlewis9362

I am at a ripe old age and still wonder at the american beliefs that they are pure as driven snow and come from the promised land Nobody is as blind as those who refuse to see 🙂
Comment from : @roddieruddie4545

You may not believe this but my father had a sauerkraut factory in upstate NY that employed German POWs One of them later became a US citizen with my father’s help I didn’t make the usual joke about “krauts”
Comment from : @KR72534

Thus did the ambitions of the Wermacht change from domination of Europe to duping prison camp guards for a few more food calories
Comment from : @TheEulerID

Funny Helmut seems surprised by the anger of the French He refers to them the "vanquished" French, as if they lost a jousting match Fails to mention that the French were invaded, bombed, shelled, raped and occupied for 4 years and their Jewish people rounded up and killed Maybe the Helmut was unaware of the death camps but he couldn't have been unaware of Hitlers intentions
Comment from : @chambersken

The stories are interesting and I have heard similar stories from My uncle and my Cousin who served in Germany and was wounded and my uncle who served in Italy during the war, I spent 18 months in Germany in the 50's and new a few Ex German soldiers who fought in the war and were actually in POW camps in the USA but after I got out of the Army and was working in the states I worked with a German Infantry soldier who fought against the Russians They pretty much hated each other; he told us while moving through Russia his group went past a Russian soldier tied to a post on a road and all of the Germans in his group cut the guy with their bayonets when they walked by him he also was wounded and his main objective was to get as far away from the Russians and find the American lines to surrender I can understand his feelings in this story but don't necessarily feel sorry for the Germans The Germans were as brutal to the Civilians in most of the countries they took over
Comment from : @eogg25

Keep this diary of Helmut Horner going its a wonderful storymy uncle was in the great escape he was one of them that had to stay backbrHe was a Canadian
