  The Fallen of World War II [18:30]
  My long overdue response to all the comments about the film's use of the phrase "Nazi soldiers." It was a mistake, and I regret it. When we recorded the narration for the other languages (available on the Vimeo account), I corrected it so that it states "German soldiers." I need to go into the recording studio and make the correction to the english version too (along with a handful of other corrections), but I have regrettably not yet done so. While it was certainly an error, I do not think it fits the comparisons many are making, i.e. that it is like calling American soldiers "Republican soldiers." I want to point out that in the case of Nazi Germany, it is correct to say Nazi invasions, led my Nazi commanders, which became Nazi occupations as part of a Nazi war effort. Calling soldiers of a Nazi war effort Nazi soldiers was a mistake, for sure, but a more complicated mistake than such analogies. As a personal note, I will say that I have close family members in Germany, and I feel that the transformation of the country after the war is a beautiful and inspiring story that we often take for granted. The word Nazi is often used to show separation between the German people today and a political movement of their past. In this case I screwed up and got it backwards.<br>It's terrible because all those people had names.<br>It's crazy how the eastern front makes the west look like a school playground although it gets all the attention<br>"Victory can not be achieved without sacrifice, Mason. We Russians know this better than anyone." - Reznov<br>and now remember: every one of those little figures stands for 1000 people<br>When the Soviet deaths weren't stopping I got kinda scared ????<br>* Seeing the soviet counter go up * Man that's a lot *still goes up 10 seconds after* MAKE IT STOP!<br>Seeing the soviet casualties is honestly terrifying<br>"European countries have not fought eachothers since WW2" *Slovenian War, Kosovo War, Croatian War and Bosnian War have all entered in the chat*<br>may the dead rest in peace axis or allied, doesn't matter.<br>Imagine being one of the 200k French Soldiers ???????? who died for their country only to later be called cowardly by keyboard warriors.<br>Switzerland be like: What a nice movie<br>You forgot one country... **Cries in finnish**<br>"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein<br>"and now we switch to the civilian deaths" oh god please no<br>"European countries have not fought each other" Balkan states: Am I a joke to you<br>Who disliked this video? I'm trying to imagine the thought process behind it<br>When the soviet loss wont stop *JUST STOP, PLEASE*<br>Rest In Peace to everyone who died because of WWll<br>Imagine being a german or soviet soldier being drafted, knowing that you almost have a 100% chance of dying<br>I feel so lucky to be young, healthy and have food to eat in times of 'peace'<br>70 million dead... I honestly started crying when the Russian deaths didn't stop. The combatants on all sides, Commonwealth, American, Russian, German, French, Chinese, Japanese, and so many others need to be remembered and honored for their sacrifice. The civilians... imagine if we were just sitting in our homes right now, and a bomb dropped through our roof? Or a grenade followed by a spray of bullets flew into a window? Or if we were dragged out and put in a train car to some death camp where we would either starve or be shoved in a gas chamber? What if the Russians were coming into Berlin and you, a 10 year old kid whose mom was killed in a bombing raid, was given a rifle and told to defend the fatherland or be hung in the town square for all to see? we have to remember the lives those people had, and how it effects us today. We must never forget what happened over 70 years ago. ?? ??????? ?? ?????? ????????. Wir dürfen niemals vergessen. Nous ne devons jamais oublier. ????????? ????????????? WE MUST NEVER FORGET.<br>The number of people who lost their lives in the city of Leningrad during the siege is bigger than the number of losses the U.S and Britain had during all the war years altogether<br>I'm a brit but French soldiers were true warriors. Calling them cowards is so disrespectful.<br>4:52 - 6:48. That's how long it was counting the deaths of Soviet soldiers. If we had a second of silence for every soldier fallen, we'd be silent for around 100 days. Staggering.<br>imagine your own life just being thrown away and being forgotten because of all the other dead around you...<br>Y this in my recommended just after WW3 becomes trending<br>"Peace like this hasn't been seen since the Roman Empire" now get ready for a fall like the Roman Empire.<br>getting recommended this now is scary<br>I edited this so people will be confused.<br>??????? ???? ?? ??????, ?? ?????? ?????????? ???, ?? ???? ??????, ?? ????, ?? ??, ??? ?? ?????? ?????!<br>just imagine surviving the whole war then dying in Prague or Berlin<br>"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away." General Douglas MacArthur.<br>5:18 Why did you call them Nazies? Those were Wehrmacht troops mostly Heer Damn it's annoying when people call the German army in WW2 Nazi<br>It is kind of frustrating that this video got demonetized<br>My great uncle disappered without a trace. He was never found, he fought for the Soviet Union.<br>6:06 my goodness that's horrifying, I got chills????<br>Canada: "Yo where the hell am I not here?"<br>this was the cleanest, most well organized and put together video and animation I have ever seen. the amount of time and effort put into this video is felt and the commentary is genuine.<br>[edit: i don't recommend to read the reply section for this comment, there's mostly just toxicity there] I don't know about you, but in Russia we have a custom called "the minute of silence". It's just a sound of a metronome slowly ticking for a bit less than an actual minute, which we get up and stand silently. We do it on each 9th of May (The Victory Day here), to honor the memory of all the fallen. Sometimes it's done for events that are not from war. I really felt like this could be a great addition to the end of this video. either way, thank you so much for making this. God bless us all.<br>Looking at the Soviet casualties it started to become much more depressing and make WW2 look bloodier and sadder than it was before someone watched this<br>When I'm trying to visualize soviet casualties tears comes to my eyes... that's absolutely shocking and terrifying.<br>My ancestors fought the Japanese in the Philippines, they didn't make it back<br>Just think about how today, we're making fun of being drafted... Just imagine those that served during Vietnam and got drafted instead of volunteering.......<br>I've never seen a dude who pronounces the word "Nazi" right and isn't german. You are the first???? Congratulations<br>Respect to my grand grand parents for been in the war and also been able to raise my grandparent that were born 1941 , ????? ??????<br>If you watch this video in 4K you have about 8.3 million pixels on screen, the Soviet union lost more people than that in the war. That is incredible..<br>D-day Always seems so large but compare it with some battles of the Eastern front it looks like nothing. 2500 us casulties is just a normal day for the russians.<br>Me: *from Russia and hates history except when it comes to wars* Video: *Soviet Union appeared* Me: *Oh no...*<br>everybody: omg so many soviet deaths China: bruh<br>
