The Wehrmacht In Pictures: A Look At One of History's Legendary Fighting Force

[chauvunist]

Reminds me of the movie "The Way Back" though that took place during WW2 (again a gulag escape , but this time a troupe of various people of various backgrounds escaping south towards British India).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1023114/

Both are based on real life stories:

Yeah a great movie...watched it back in 2011..

As World War Two comes to an end, a group of German POWs, boys rather than men, are captured by the Danish army and forced to engage in a deadly task – to defuse and clear land mines from the Danish coastline. With little or no training, the boys soon discover that the war is far from over. Inspired by real events, LAND OF MINE exposes the untold story of one tragic moment in post-war history. @Nilgiri @Desert Fox

Thanks for the tag. And great find. It's great to see that they are finally making films sympathetic to the plight of German POW's (at least from what it looks like from the trailer).

You will find a lot of heritage in many designs around the world from the WW2 wehrmacht. Germany had almost 50 years of unparalleled chemical/materials know how before WW2 started.

I went to my doctoral advisor house a few times...in his (quite large) study when you go back to the fundamental chemicals/materials research handbooks pre-WW2....a good 60 - 70% of them are in German ...and good proportion of the rest are translations of german sources. One day when I got enough time I will try give a long detailed post on german RnD back in that period....it was truly quite phenomenal. They didn't want to compete with British and French in the airy-fairy theory realm....they focused on the nitty-gritty side of it....and it showed.

Will wait for it!

There's a reason why i really admire that country so much they really have/had a lot of geniuses!

6th Panzer Division

1st light brigade was established in 1937 in imitation of French Division Légère Mécanique. It was to be used as reconnaissance unit. In 1938 it became 1st light division when it received 11th tank regiment. It was received Czech tanks it participated in Invasion of Poland after which in October 1939 it was reorganized as the 6th Panzer Division. In June 1941 it had 239 tanks it was under the Army group north during the invasion of SU. It was nearly decimated in 1941 when Soviets launched counter offensive in dec it was sent back to France for rebuilding where it was equipped with modern tanks. It's last battle was defending Vienna after which it surrendered to US forces.

This thread is an absolute disgrace.... These German scums are responsible for the murders of millions of civilians across the world. The so called victories came only in the beginning when the allies were unprepared. The moment these aholes faced well equipped opposition when folded..... It is a shame these racist scums were not nuked to oblivion.....

And what do you have to say about British colonization efforts?

Look at UK and Germany today - mere shadows of their former-self and sissified Feminist states. People admire and crave "power" - not Feminist sissies.

I hope Germany rediscovers its nationalism one day - not to orchestrate a World War but to become a powerful nationalistic state with independent thought and political projections. They need to get rid of Angela Merkel types first.

From a strictly neutral perspective, Wehrmacht is one of the finest war-machines ever witnessed in the history of mankind. And this forum is the right platform to discuss military forces of any state.

Don't hold your breath. They have institutionalised and deep set cuckery now (at a constitutional level well past sense and reason). I have lost hope in Germany to redeem itself....they will forever be a staunchly politically correct, virtue signalling, socialism inclined country because of the force feeding of nationalism, self-identity = BAD since WW2....(quite in contrast to Japan their ally in that war it must be said)...and its set in really badly. You know its bad when Merkel is actually the least bad choice in Germany (w.r.t identity preservation, fundamental economics and higher concepts like genuine virtue promotion). They will succumb to this eventually and it will be a sobering lesson for Europe when it happens....only then Germany may re-establish itself potentially.

In Europe I hold hope in this regard more for Poland, Hungary, Eastern Europe more generally (who physically know what its like to live under identity-stripped socialism)...and the potential in France, UK and Italy to hopefully get some momentum here too. Germany and the nordics are too far gone now (though Finland may be somewhat saveable according to a good Finnish friend of mine - again they had their encounters with soviet domination/control).

As much as I wish for none of that to be true, it is the reality today. I've never been to Germany myself but from what I have heard from others Germany today is one of the most cucked nations in the world, the other being Sweden. Their greatest mistake was that they lost the war IMHO.

Sweden on the other hand I'm not sure what's up with them. At least in Germany's case it was the De-Nazification program and the war guilt propaganda pushed by a certain influential group of people to collectively punish and destroy Germany (Morgenthau Plan). But Sweden was never a part of the Axis yet they are ahead of Germany in the cucked department.

I guess you never stepped a feet into eastern Germany .

Eastern Germany has some hope for sure (again because they were forcibly part of Eastern Europe phenomenon I am talking about)....but they need to be made separate again for it to really matter, because quite simply they are dominated politically and economically in the current union...and they are getting wore down over time (no real sustained and continued renewal of cultural ideology among younger folk like that found in Poland).

And you are correct I have never been to former East Germany, except their part in Berlin I guess...only really went to cpl other places in Germany, all in the western part. But I base analysis of East Germany from what I have heard from others that have been more around there and have more "Polish" style kind of thinking.

Sweden on the other hand I'm not sure what's up with them. At least in Germany's case it was the De-Nazification program and the war guilt propaganda pushed by a certain influential group of people to collectively punish and destroy Germany (Morgenthau Plan). But Sweden was never a part of the Axis yet they are ahead of Germany in the cucked department.

Sweden the way I see it is their absolute committal to neutrality and deep seated inferiority complex vis a vis Russia among their elite. Whatever Russia is projecting at current time, Sweden generally tries to be the opposite ever since they lost East Sweden (Finland) to Russia....esp contrasting to how they perceived themselves since Gustav Adolphus made Sweden quite a power in Europe (ring any bells for Germany in slightly different time scale?). It is this kind of shock and dissonance that seems to break apart the will of a country's crucial identity in Europe it seems for about a vulnerable block of 100+ years (other parallels I can think of is dying period of Western Roman empire and also england after norman conquest)....and now its mixed with a far larger globalist/leftism force that makes it quite a sapping thing to deal with now (fight back, re-establish etc).

This inability to think and identify for themselves and culturally stay stoic means a big backdoor also opened in cold war and post cold war for this socialist nordic thought to permeate well past economics (accelerated by US and NATO shouldering massive amount of security logistics spending the nordics piggyback off to help finance their internal socialism).
