This isn’t just a story about a Nazi unit—it’s a devastating reminder of what happens when a state turns cruelty into policy and human lives into numbers. The most powerful part is that the victims, not the perpetrators, are given the remembrance they were deliberately denied.

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched about WWII AND because it is honest about facts given about the dead, so sad😢<br>My Father who went from Canada and become an ally against Germany, who thankfully returned home. True videos statically recording the atrocities and the number of deaths are very important for the whole world to know about

THe Waffen SS didn’t decide to end the D-brigade because of the horror of their actions. No one cared about that, because that was the very reason the brigade was erected. The nazi’s learned that the average psychological health of normal soldiers was endangered by repeatedly killing defenceless civilians at close range, so with the projections af the numbers of future killings at hand, men were needed who had no psygological vulnerability whatsoever towards violently killing humans repeatedly. This resulted into recruiting psychopaths into a dedicated unit that secured the continuing of innocent people as planned and ordered by Berlin. Secretly to the outside world because of its illegality and criminality according to international understandings of human rights. <br>When it became clear the unit’s secrecy was compromised, the people who feared they would be hold and convicted responsible for using psychopaths to kill captured civilians. So to save themselves, they discontinued the brigade.

When the SS thinks you're are doing to much, you've really went of the rails of humanity!!

I have heard that Warsaw was the most beautiful cities. Incredible buildings and monuments. To destroy it gives an impression of the nazis as being madmen and barbarians
