00:02:35In Poland, the history of World War II has been rewritten for a long time and
00:02:39with broad strokes. On August
00:02:4120, 2025, an exhibition opened in Gdansk,
00:02:45dedicated to Poles who served in the Wehrmacht.
00:02:48There were almost 450 thousand of them,
00:02:51much more than those who fought against Hitler in the
00:02:54Home Army. The motto of the exhibition: our boys
00:02:58were forced to go to...
00:03:32Poles were there, they defeated Rommel. Rommel had an army, a corps, well, approximately
00:03:3630,000 people. Let's compare this with the multi-million battles at
00:03:40the Kursk Bulge near Stalingrad, where
00:03:43we ground up all the power of the Wehrmacht. It would seem that
00:03:46the forties of the last century were not
00:03:49the Middle Ages. Every step is documented, millions of
00:03:53reports, memoirs, photo and video evidence. But
00:03:56World War II became a battlefield.
00:04:00Its end, too many people wanted
00:04:03to rewrite history in their own way, so even access to
00:04:07archives is a special privilege, a kind of ticket to the club
00:04:11of winners. After the end
00:04:14of the war, in German Saxony, in potash and
00:04:18salt mines, as well as in Berlin itself, Soviet troops
00:04:22discovered Nazi archives, they
00:04:25were studied, systematized,
00:04:28starting from 1952,
00:04:32they began to be transferred to the German Democratic
00:04:34Republic, transported by special
00:04:37trains, in batches of 140,000 files,
00:04:413 years later the entire archive was completely transferred to the East
00:04:45Germans. A completely different fate befell
00:04:49the archives that fell into the hands of the Americans and
00:04:51the British. These were materials of
00:04:55the Nazi Party of Germany, the Ministry of
00:04:58Foreign Affairs of the Wehrmacht. SS. All of them
00:05:01ended up in the USA. And are still classified as secret in the
00:05:05Pentagon's archives. Access to
00:05:09these documents for civilian historians.
00:08:12battle is the Great Patriotic War, which those
00:08:15recognized by some Western
00:08:19historians. The memorial plaque in Vienna, on
00:08:23the house where the Soviet military commandant's office was located, is accompanied
00:08:26by a quote from the Aeneid about tears of sympathy. In
00:08:30Austria, there is a widespread opinion that the Soviet army was
00:08:33even worse than the German Anschluss. However, local
00:08:37researchers try not to remember that Adolf Hitler
00:08:40was born and, one might say, formed in the Austrian
00:08:44town of Braunau am Inn, and moved to Germany
00:08:47only at 24 years old.
00:08:50On March 12, 1938,
00:08:53Austria became part of Greater Germany under
00:08:56the leadership of the Führer.
00:08:5899.8% of
00:09:00the country's residents supported reunification.
00:09:04The country's name - Österreich or Eastern
00:09:07Reich - was changed to Ostmark (Eastern
00:09:10March).
00:09:26such a scale that directives came from Berlin to Vienna with demands to curb the fervor. Austrians
00:09:29constituted
00:09:3314% of the SS personnel, almost half
00:09:36of the workers in the death camps, although their share in the population of the Third
00:09:40Reich did not exceed eight.
00:09:43By the end of the war, the NSDAP, Hitler's Nazi Party,
00:09:46included, according to various estimates, from
00:09:49540 to 700 thousand
00:09:52Austrian citizens, almost one in five
00:09:55Austrians. To this day, it is important for them to feel that they
00:09:59were victims, yes, and
00:10:01to emphasize their non-involvement or
00:10:05slight involvement in these fascist regimes or Nazi
00:10:08regimes of European countries,
00:10:11to emphasize that...
00:10:25their criticism of the Soviet Union, the policies of the Soviet
00:10:29Union on the eve of World War II during the Great Patriotic War. After the war,
00:10:32Austria was considered the first
00:10:36victim of Nazism for many years. This view
00:10:40was also supported by the anti-Hitler
00:10:43coalition. In one of Vienna's squares stands a monument
00:10:46to Soviet soldiers who liberated Austria from
00:10:49fascism. Denazification in the country was carried out
00:10:52in an extremely lenient manner due to. it ended already by
00:10:561948, former SS functionaries
00:10:59calmly worked in the government, school history
00:11:02textbooks depicted an image of a foreign military
00:11:05invasion, silent about specific figures of war
00:11:09crimes. All blame for the Holocaust was shifted to
00:11:12Germany, while Wehrmacht veterans were revered by
00:11:15Austrians as heroes. The victim doctrine suited
00:11:19all political players, helping to form a national
00:11:23identity. It preached the fundamental difference
00:11:26between Austrians and
00:11:27Germans.
00:11:35Who is interested in rewriting information about the Second World War?
00:11:39We liberated Europe from fascism. By the way,
00:11:43then Zhukov uttered such words that became
00:11:46a common phrase: Europe will never forgive us for liberating
00:11:49it. Why does the West try to erase our country
00:11:53from the list of victors?
00:12:04Poland traditionally is at the forefront of
00:12:08the European company of Russophobia. Already in
00:12:11September 2009,
00:12:14the Polish Sejm adopted a resolution, according
00:12:17to which during the Second World War, Poland was
00:12:21occupied by the Red Army,
00:12:24in general, for the first time in... The Soviet Union was called
00:12:27an aggressor, which, along with Germany, bears all
00:12:31responsibility for what happened during the Second
00:12:34World War. And it turns out that the Red Army did not
00:12:37liberate Poland, but occupied
00:12:39it.
00:12:42Well, what was it really like? The Soviet
00:12:45Union began to provide assistance to Poland for its
00:12:49reconstruction, even before the end of the war
00:12:53and complete liberation of the country from the Nazis,
00:12:56this process then continued for decades. In
00:13:00monetary terms, the total amount of Soviet
00:13:03aid provided from 1944
00:13:07to 1960 amounted to
00:13:10more than 600 billion
00:13:13dollars. For comparison, the United States, within
00:13:17the framework of the Marshall Plan,
00:13:20provided France with aid amounting to
00:13:232.5 billion dollars,
00:13:27in addition to aid, as it is called, in kind, this is
00:13:31the supply of food products,
00:13:33grain, oil,
00:13:36agricultural equipment,
00:13:38the restoration of destroyed roads and bridges by the forces
00:13:42of the engineering troops of the Soviet Army,
00:13:44the restoration of the historical part
00:13:48of Warsaw, completely destroyed by
00:13:50the Nazis, Poland was provided with Soviet
00:13:54loans at a ridiculous 2%
00:13:57per annum. And, by the way, the lion's
00:14:00share of Poland's debts during Soviet times was
00:14:04forgiven. In 1971,
00:14:08Leonid Brezhnev, in a private conversation, uttered these
00:14:11words: "We are a party, not traders."
00:14:15But it seems that
00:14:17the Poles grumbled with us over every penny, like
00:14:20shopkeepers. We, as the elder brother, did not want
00:14:24to offend the younger one, so
00:14:26we endured.
00:14:29In the Baltics, it was announced that the USSR occupied it from
00:14:321940 to 1991.
00:14:36In November 2015, three
00:14:39former Soviet republics even created a special
00:14:42charter, which implies the collection of damages for this
00:14:46very mythical occupation. And on the official
00:14:49NATO account, there is this laudatory video about
00:14:52the Forest Brothers in Latvia. Meanwhile, all documents indicate
00:14:56that these were gatherings of bandit murderers. Generally,
00:15:00in Western Europe, their scientific works and
00:15:04publications regarding World War II are largely
00:15:08taboo. You understand? I
00:15:11tried, as a historian,
00:15:14to publish articles in a military history journal dedicated to the history of the Second
00:15:17World War, the Great Patriotic War, I simply
00:15:21found unique materials, and I was given to understand that...
00:15:25This does not interest them. According to the NKVD, by the beginning of
00:15:281946, 64 bandit
00:15:32formations with a strength of
00:15:35753 people were operating
00:15:38in the territory of the Latvian SSR, and
00:15:4155 formations with a strength
00:15:44of 428 people in the territory of the Estonian SSR.
00:15:46From 1944 to 1956,
00:15:50according to these data, 25,108 civilians were
00:15:54killed by the Forest Brothers, of whom
00:15:57993 people were children under
00:16:0016 years old. Among those killed, according to various estimates, were
00:16:0421 to 23,000
00:16:07Lithuanians. Maybe this is all Soviet slander, but in
00:16:112011, a book of remembrance for victims
00:16:14of partisan terror was presented in Lithuania, which
00:16:18collected the names and surnames of more than 25,000
00:16:21people killed by the Forest Brothers. We are talking about civilians,
00:16:25among the victims about a thousand children under
00:16:2816 years old and 50
00:16:30infants. In Latvia,
00:16:34these same Forest Brothers formations included
00:16:38former members of the Latvian SS division,
00:16:41that very unit
00:16:44that distinguished itself with particular zeal in carrying out
00:16:48punitive operations in the territory of Latvia itself,
00:16:51Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and
00:16:53Poland, and even the Germans themselves were sometimes
00:16:57astonished by the cruelty of these
00:16:59inhumans. In addition, among the Forest
00:17:03Brothers were Latvian nationalists who, after
00:17:06the arrival of the Nazis in 1941,
00:17:10organized mass Jewish
00:17:12pogroms in Latvia. The extermination of Jews in
00:17:16the Baltics was widespread, and often
00:17:18with the active participation of the local population. For example,
00:17:22Estonia already in the autumn of 1941
00:17:25declared its country Judenfrei,
00:17:29free of Jews. And, by the way, this was
00:17:33the only one of all the territories occupied by the Third Reich
00:17:37where the Jewish question was resolved
00:17:40definitively, well, it must be said, a dubious
00:17:44achievement.
00:17:46Immediately after the war, the French Institute of Public Opinion
00:17:50Ifop conducted a study, asking a single
00:17:53question: which country, in your opinion, made the greatest
00:17:57contribution to the defeat of Germany in 1945?
00:18:01Great Britain, the United States or
00:18:04the USSR? Then almost 60%
00:18:07answered that it was the Soviet Union. 20%
00:18:11voted for the United States, and 12% for
00:18:15Great Britain. 70 years later, the institute repeated
00:18:19the same survey. Only now 54%
00:18:23of French people already believed that it was the USA that played the main
00:18:26role in the defeat of Germany. In
00:18:291986, in France, with significant
00:18:33funding from the USA, a gigantic
00:18:36memorial was created.
00:19:37to push back the threats of Europe, here
00:19:41are several exclamation and question marks,
00:19:45emanating from Soviet Russia to the Urals.
00:19:48Familiar? It's the same now. The author of this
00:19:52program is Charles de Gaulle. And the next day, or in 2
00:19:55days, I don't remember now, at a press conference,
00:19:59the French Foreign Minister, Couve de Murville,
00:20:02explained to journalists, a significant
00:20:05expansion.
00:20:16that 10 times more Frenchmen voluntarily served in the Wehrmacht
00:20:19than in the Resistance. General De
00:20:23Gaulle himself began rewriting history, personally
00:20:26pardoning thousands of collaborators. How did
00:20:29France become
00:20:31a victor?
00:20:34But the French should thank Stalin, who
00:20:38did a lot to bring
00:20:41France to such a state. Stalin
00:20:44had good relations with Roosevelt, he managed
00:20:47to convince the Americans. Or rather
00:20:50the American president, so Churchill didn't really
00:20:54want this at all, and the Americans
00:20:58grudgingly agreed. We dragged
00:21:01de Gaulle and France into the ranks
00:21:05of the victors, with our efforts.
00:21:07The West was forced to agree to this.
00:21:11They still don't like to remember this in France.
00:21:14On July 15, 2025,
00:21:17the Prime Minister of the country, François Bayrou, proposed removing
00:21:21Victory Day from the list of national holidays. In
00:21:24Europe, the holiday is celebrated on May 8. The reason
00:21:28is a hole in the country's budget, which needs to be urgently
00:21:31patched up. And for this, it is necessary to reduce the list
00:21:34of official events that have to be
00:21:37financed. But in France, they celebrate November
00:21:4111th very lavishly and pompously. November 11,
00:21:441918 is the day of France's victory in
00:21:47World War I. And here.
00:21:58On January 17, 2024,
00:22:01the European Parliament adopted another resolution that
00:22:05calls for rewriting history under the guise
00:22:07of the need to create a new common culture
00:22:10of memory. It is recommended to update educational programs and
00:22:14teaching methods so that as little as possible is said about
00:22:17European confrontation.
00:22:20The Asian part of World War II in American history lessons
00:22:23is predictably given much more time than
00:22:26the European one, because the USA mainly fought on these
00:22:30fronts. Almost 80% of Americans
00:22:33are confident that their armed forces played a decisive
00:22:37role in breaking the Nazi backbone. In
00:22:41American, as well as Western, history textbooks, in principle,
00:22:44it is quite rare to find a detailed description of battles
00:22:48in which
00:27:47female tank driver with the honorable title of
00:27:49Hero of the Soviet Union, Maria Oktyabrskaya.
00:27:53The profession of a mechanic, driver, tank driver as such, is not
00:27:57a woman's job. How, despite her age and health problems,
00:28:00Maria still. hundreds
00:28:42of thousands of people died instantly, and as many more
00:28:45over the years from radioactive contamination. In
00:28:49Japan, this tragedy is remembered and a ceremony
00:28:53in memory of the victims of the bombings is held annually.
00:28:56Prime ministers speak, saying sincere and correct
00:29:00words, but none of them ever
00:29:03mentioned who was responsible for the nuclear
00:29:07strikes. This year, at the ceremony in
00:29:10Japan, dedicated to the eightieth
00:29:13anniversary of the atomic bombings, the UN Secretary-General,
00:29:16Antonio Guterres, also spoke, but
00:29:20he also said not a word about the
00:29:23perpetrators, about the United States of America.
00:29:27It turns out there are political memory
00:29:30gaps.
00:30:32about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there was
00:30:36a public opinion poll, and they
00:30:39somehow believe that the atomic
00:30:42bomb was dropped by the Soviet Union,
00:30:46although the Soviet Union at that time did not have an atomic
00:30:49bomb, it appeared in forty-seventh, I think,
00:30:53only then, and
00:30:55there were even up to 70 percent, I think,
00:30:59of the population.
