Is that a Russian that is throwing the brick and did the brick hit the gun, its kinda hard to see.
Hahaha, I thought that was a snowball at first, but upon closer inspection(and reading what you said) it was a brick…
Some Koreans were also found fighting with the German Army.
They were joined or forced into the Japanese army and sent to Europe as conscription troops.
That was better than what I thought; I initially thought the Russian soldier was throwing a pie at a German. :roll:
The quality is too good to be genuine action footage. Most likely it is a training film - among the weapons issued to the British Home Guard were bags of pepper intended to be thrown in the enemy’s face. Since the thing being thrown appears soft and to give off a big cloud of dust, and the thrower is wearing a Brodie helmet, I think that is the most likely explanation.
and the brick appears to disappear at the end so maybe not real.
i thought it was sand at first
is that a real fight
Nice pictures, specially that faked T-34.
LOL guys i haven’t laughted so much from the last Christmas when Santa Claus gave me many presents , never saw so nice pics with so much humour
My history teacher in 9-10th grade was one of them. At the age of 15 he was issued a rifle in already surrounded Berlin and ordered to take on the Red Army. The result of this deployment was that he lost both eyes through a Russian tank shell (he told us that the last thing he saw was a T-34 coming around a street corner. Then it fired and apparently a fragment of the shell entered one temple, exiting on the other side, cutting the visual nerves to both eyes. He was the youngest Wehrmacht soldier blinded in WW2). During his stay in hospital and recovery, he became very disillusioned with the Nazis. He still managed to finish school with the Abitur exams and later earned a PhD in history, before becoming a school teacher. Dr. Liepe, I don’t know if you are still alive, it has been more than 20 years, but you have been the best history teacher I ever had. You taught us how to THINK and to evaluate sources critically.

Oh, I am sure that he was more than able to understand those heartless lessons of history, my dear Mr. Walther. Yes, history did not happen to us because it was bound to happen in that way, nor yet did it happen by accident either. It happened because the people of history behaved in the way they did in the light, or the darkness of their consciousness. And the future will not happen in a predictable and inevitable manner, nor will it come as sightless accident – it will come as we, in our consciousness of historical freedom, fashion it on our own responsibility.
After all – that’s why we are here.
And now, something new and – most probably! – much more cheerful:
Aber meine Herren! With all due respect, we have more horses under this cowling than a complete Cavalry Regiment!
