@flakmagnet0: January 1945 - A captured German soldier is searched by two visibily angered U.S. troops near St. Vith. This was not far from the 17 December 1944 Malmedy Massacre. I firmly believe the camera being there spared his life. #ww2 #ww2history #History #historytok #war

Gunnarsdad :

If this is after Malmedy, they probably did something after the camera stopped rolling.

Vaccthevampire :

You can tell that these two totally wanted to execute the guy, the only reason they didn’t was because the cameraman was there and probably told them not to.

Primus10th :

Eyes are saying "turn the fucking camera off!!!"

Me :

That cameraman saved his life

itsjcampbell :

Yup, that’s “turn the fkn camera off” if I’ve ever seen it 😅

Grizzly Adams :

“He wanted to murder him” as if most soldiers weren’t pissed and exhausted 90% of the time over there lol. These aren’t band of brother actors they’re real men that’s what it looks like

Yuri Tarted :

They would’ve let him go if they could see the state of this country today.

Carter :

Somehow this 10 second clip really angered some sympathizers.

caitlin🌸 :

Yeah I'd be pissed, too. Remember a lot of these men were drafted and forced to deal with this bullshit

Danfango :

War is disgusting 🇬🇧☝🏻

The man :

Keep in mind those were probably 18-21 year olds too

Mustafa :

das sind eure heutigen "freunde"glaubt ihr im ernst die wollen irgendetwas gutes für euch?

I1Lzr5_r71Izt52Z :

forced to fight. Don’t take it out on the german soldier . Also, is the German soldier in the US ? This german soldier woukd have rather planted potatoes or raised chickens or sell chickens given the choice. He had no choice. Either go to tte battlefield or kaput

🧔🏽‍♀️ :

United States America soldiers couldn’t be trusted to follow Geneva Convention any more than the Germabs

mattS :

I'm guessing he's not SS

The Armenian :

Yup, at least until the camera stopped recording

nomprenom831 :

À voir si dans le cas inverse la présence de la caméra aurait gêné les allemands

user2801840311453 :

the yanks actually shot 25 Germans who surrendered as a payback to the massacre of the American troops...watched the documentary this morning

Pondapple :

Too bad the camera was there

Veslingur :

American was upset they couldn’t just execute the guy while then turning around and accusing the Germans of war crimes for the same thing

Mirko Kipar :

Die Amerikaner haben damals schon gesagt, sie kommen nicht als Befreier nach Deutschland.

GrimB93 :

Just lucky it wasnt the Soviets

I massacri degli americani non li dimentichiamo in Italia.
