Recently, another newly restored World War II documentary was launched on Netflix. Yes, that dark period of human history is once again "colorful". Perhaps, God had already told Satan that there was no need to bother to lure humans to hell, because they alone would be enough to bring about their own destruction. World War II: Frontline Perspective
"They died because of me. ”On September 1, 1939, a brief announcement sounded on the Polish radio: Please pay attention to the whole population, the German army will bomb Poland....
Before the words fell, there was a loud bang in the sky, the trees began to bend, and the bombers obscured the sky. Artillery fire hit in the air, and the passers-by who had just walked by, the fragments of their limbs, fell into the air...Houses are in ruins, littered with dead horses and collapsed buildings....
On the streets, the Germans put an iron whip against the old woman's neck, teasing and playing with them like stray cats and dogsAnd the old woman in front of her, her body was stiff, she didn't dare to move, and her eyes were full of horror;
The old man was tied to the synagogue, doused with gasoline and burned alive....
Under intense fear, someone vomited, someone prayed to the crumbling icon of Jesus....
Watching the devil run rampant, 13-year-old Julian Kolski joined the Polish resistance. In order to launch a counterattack against the occupiers, the rebel commander taught Julian how to shoot, dodge, and kill with his bare hands, while keeping an eye out for the enemy. Unfortunately, the other party's eyes and ears are all over the place. Soon, the Nazis captured the leader of the rebels and shot him at close range....
Julian is determined to take revenge. After tracking and ambushing, he managed to shoot a German soldier in the city....The first time he killed someone, he had an indescribable strangeness in his heart: it turned out that the German army would also fall, and they were not invincible.
But Julian had no idea that this would lead to another tragedy: the next day, the Germans, in order to take revenge and make an example of the monkeys, tortured and killed 20 women and children in the same place...
The price of justice is often directed at the unarmed life. There is not a day that the gray-haired Julian does not blame himself: I think that I must be responsible for the death of these civilians.
"Don't be afraid, I am human. ”In June 1941, the largest act of aggression in history broke out: the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Hitler encouraged young people to join the army: We want to create a single nation, because you are our flesh, our blood, the hope of our nation!
Touched by the Führer's passionate and sincere acting skills, German young people were conscripted into the army one after another, full of yearning and expectation for the war. Someone said: I am very happy to join the army at such a young age and to see the world's recognition and respect for Germany.
In Moscow, the Red Army was losing ground and millions of soldiers became prisoners of war. The Germans put their guns in the back of the heads of the prisoners of war, and bullets pierced through the heads...The German soldier Hinz Drosso received a task assigned by his superiors: to shoot prisoners of war.
Although he was a soldier for a short time, after more than a year, the young man had seen all the killings, and he gradually developed a different perspective on the war. In the woods, prisoners of war knew that their time was approaching, and they were waiting for the gunshots...Behind him, Hinz Droso put down his rifle: Don't be afraid, I'm not a murderer, I'm human.
Before leaving, the prisoners of war held out their hands to Henzdroso: Thank you, may you be safe.
"Merry Christmas, start with a hot soup. ”In the winter of 1942, in the Battle of Stalingrad, the German army was defeated one after another due to severe cold and insufficient troops. Hitler refused to retreat: Germany will not be defeated, it must fight to the point of a single soldier!
Extreme weather, shortages, and the few military rations left, it seemed that the Germans would die without waiting for the arrival of the Red Army....
In order to survive, the war horse that was once born and died became a victim of human beings to maintain vital signs....
In just a few tens of seconds, the extremely hungry soldiers dug up the corpses and hollowed them up, and divided them up....
The soldiers received an order: to demolish the houses of local civilians and use them to make fires. On this day, they approached an old couple's house and prepared to requisition the house. Despite knowing that they were Germans, the old couple beckoned them to sit down: Merry Christmas!Let's have a hot soup!
"There is a post office left".In 1943, after the defeat of the Battle of Stalingrad, the German army went from overwhelming to declining. In order to destroy the morale of the German army more completely, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was forced to make a cruel decision: to bomb German civilians.
That night, under the cover of night, the British dropped a thousand tons of incendiary bombs on Hamburg, the capital of Germany....Forty-five thousand German civilians were reduced to cannon fodder in an instant. After the attack, the bomber pilot, Don, received a new order: to go to Hamburg again and carry out a second bombing. The intelligence officer told them that there was still a main post office left in the city, and they were going to blow it up.
Before leaving, Don repeatedly thought about the question: Aren't we good people?Why do we do the same thing as the enemy?In front of the camera, the elderly Don stared into the eyes of the interviewer: I know what you are thinking, I think the same as you think. But this is war.
On December 7, a documentary produced by NetflixWorld War II: Frontline Perspectiveonline, Douban score 88, a total of six episodes.
As we all know, every few years, Netflix releases a documentary about World War II. This time, after a lot of investigation, interviews, data comparison, coloring and restoration, the documentary retrieved and consulted the front-line reports of the war correspondents, and the picture display and data restoration of the war were more comprehensive, clear and detailed: the kamikaze attack team was shot at close range next to the aircraft carrier;
The plane crashed like a fireball into the sea;
Interior view of a Nazi tank;
Suddenly, the building was reduced to ashes;
Broken streets, smoky towns, dusty North African deserts, icy Stalingrad;
From the beginning of the war to the end of the war: the Nazis who are struggling to survive in the spring breeze, the army whose morale is high to the point of dying, the vigilant and agile resistance army, and the Soviet female soldiers who do not let their eyebrows go...Jews queuing up to enter the gas chambers;Skinny, fearless, helpless, street-dwelling civilians;In Italy and Germany, people with flowers in their hands, cheering, glorious and proud...
All the radio reports in the film, the live speeches of Hitler and his staff, and the announcements of the combat missions of Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin, among other allies, are the authentic original sound of the restoration. It can be said that the audience almost stood on the front line and "immersed" themselves in World War II....The difference is that in order to record more objectively, ** not only interviewed the anti-aggression allies, but also found the "defeated" German army and the Japanese army for interviews....In the accounts and memories of these soldiers, I found that whether it was the victor or the vanquished, before the guns rang out, the hearts of these witnesses were already filled with gunsmoke: American pilots experienced several lives and deaths: although we understand that this is for freedom and dignity, but every time before getting on the plane, I think of my wife and children, and I am ready to never see them again.
Before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, many Japanese troops had already anticipated the consequences of the fiasco: we knew that the result of the sneak attack would be more than lucky, but we could only obey orders. We drank a little to get ourselves excited and forget for a moment the impending truth that we would never see our mother again.
We can see how people are extremely alienated in the midst of war....The soldiers of the Central Powers refused to be named: I hate the Germans so much that I want to make a hole in their heads and watch them die in agony in front of me....I'm a ** disciple, and it's not appropriate to say this, but the truth is that when people get to that point, they will have pleasure and attachment to killing.
Some German soldiers recalled: From the first day we joined the army, we were taught: except for the Germanic peoples, everyone else is low-class, lowly people, and we are helping them in exterminating them;The eyeball was hit by a bullet and fell, and he stood up almost reflexively: Cool!Keep playing!Later, everyone learned that before the soldiers went on the field, they had to take ** to stimulate the nerves and make people in a state of excitement, which was conducive to the enthusiasm of the battle....
The film and television works that record World War II are as vast as a sea of smoke....But every time I look at that history, I feel exhausted...However, even in such a purgatory, where aggression becomes justice, killing becomes the norm, and evil subverts goodness, there are still people who can make a hole in the roaring waves of evil. After saving civilians from the hands of the Germans, the Polish rebels used the trophies obtained by the Germans to hold a small wedding for the soldiers at the post office. The captain said:Before we live until tomorrow, we have some happy memories.
The British Ray, unfortunately captured, was taken to Italy. Amid the insults of the Italian people along the street to the prisoners of war, a girl ran over and stuffed a peach into Lei's hand...He finished eating the peach with both hands...More than 80 years later, Ray recalls that moment: when I feel that the world is against me, I always think of the girl with the peach...She will always be with me, frustrated and desperate.
Seven years ago, the crow once said that the only reason why humans love war is because they have not participated in it. If we think of war as a book, its skin is naturally wrapped by the person who started it, and its preface may be written by someone who is in a high position and has left a name in history...However, when we read it carefully, we will understand that in those shocking and unbearable contents are the blood, tears and lives of thousands of nobodies, ants and civilians...Flies swirling, in front of the concentration camp, skinny corpses....The festering wounds of soldiers, the blown limbs of neighbors, the children crying everywhere looking for their mothers...Under the rubble of the collapsed house, whose children's dolls, writing desks, kitchen pots and pans, daily necessities...The sewage flowing across the ground, mixed with the blood of the anonymous victims, emitted a pungent stench...In the face of war, these ordinary and inconspicuous parts of life will be ruthlessly shattered, just like the life of the dead, just like the dignity of the living that has been lost...
The invaders, who were stamped and recognized by later generations, spoke with impassionedness, sonorous words, hoarse tones and faces, and were as pure and firm as all the great men in history who fought for the liberation of the poor masses and for justice;And the people below will also join the crazy ranks because of the influence of the environment, catering to the collective fanaticism and converting. Over the years, our literary works, films, television, documentaries, various documents and newspapers, have been vast in number, meticulous in description, and pervasive in perspective, from geographical topography, to economic reasons, to historical formation, to national background, to racial contradictions, to the relationship between the times and individuals, to the filth, weakness, and treachery of human nature, the weakness of individuals, and the collective unconscious...Mankind has come to this day, and the analysis and exploration of war seem to be comprehensive and meticulous enough...It can be said that all the objective reasons that we can avoid and prevent and control have been broken and crushed, and in order to avoid the recurrence of the mistakes of the past in future generations, we have tried our best to be considerate.
The 2022 version of the stills of "All Quiet on the Western Front" Winton, the great philanthropist who rescued Jewish children, once said: If humanity wants to live a good life, it must learn a lesson. But historically, not so rosy. It is history that repeats itself, and it is also human nature that has made little progress. It seems that the civilization and system that are moving forward are only tools that make it easier for human beings to drive their desires...
When we reflect on war, we do not do it mean to criticize only the most who were once fanatical and blindly obedient, nor to satirize some of today's energetic, sharp-eyed, and always justified super-orators. What I want to say is that when someone is at the top of the square, waving his fist for dividing the camp and the party...Even if they are red-faced, excited, bombastic, and talking...As ordinary people, what we can do is not to raise our arms and shout and flock up...Rather, it is vigilance and vigilance, becoming the hand that stands in the square and raises it.
Because, in many cases, the result of destruction is not the result of the single action of power and desire. They often take advantage of individual shoulders, collective voices, and excited waves to rise to the top of the sky....Not only soldiers who go to the battlefield, but even ordinary people will show the greatest malice in the changes of the times. Every time Hitler and his staff, every time they gave a speech about genocide in the square, the crowd raised their right hands with passion....No one seems to be able to perceive how many horrific slaughters are behind the Fuhrer they support, the war they support and yearn for;A German soldier recalled: When we invaded the Soviet Union and North Africa, some people welcomed us. They hated the leaders of the time, even though they did not know much about the Nazis.
A Polish woman, in the midst of hunger and cold, met a German ** official. The officer took good care of the woman and saved her life. In the eyes of the ill-fated woman, "he is different from others, he is a decent person". But in the circumstances of the time, women became "public enemies" and "female thieves"....After the war, the people dragged the women out into the streets, humiliated them, beat them, stripped them naked, shaved their hair, and paraded them through the streets....
The crow can't remember whether he had ** and saw such a sentence: In the face of war, many times, it is not good and evil that are fighting, but evil and evil are fighting. This may not only apply between countries. From this point of view, I can't help but be pessimistic....Because, I have found that even most people will not be at the core of their interests on the podium for the rest of their lives....However, they will still choose to be offstage, to be loyal disciples, devout believers...2023 Post Sprint Competition
