Brave Veteran Recalls The Most Horrific Thing He Saw During WW2 | Remember WWII With Rishi Sharma

This is an episode in a World War Two Documentary Series called Remember WWII. This episode covers the role of U.S. Army photographers and videographers documenting the brutal tactics used by the Gestapo and other German military personnel against the innocent people they imprisoned. The goal is to shed light on how Germans crossed the line from the agreed upon humane treatment of POWs and civilians to literally caused six million Jews and four million other groups to disappear. We owe it to those innocent souls to bring their perpetrators to justice and make sure this never happens again. This episode feature WWII veteran Andrew Filak. We thank him for his service.

Here are some news stories about my mission to interview the WWII veterans of the Allied Countries.

How ashamed our veterans would be of our countrys

[edwardcerwonka]

Thank you for doing this because there are millions of people who need to see this and learn from it so that the past doesn’t become the present.

[morpheusspirit]

Thank you for your great service.
I’m sorry you had to witness such acts of brutality and barbarism.
The evil of the Nazis must be told and never forgotten.

My dad is dead but he was a machine gunest. He was German american but has shot down a couple of Nazi planes. He used to tell me when I was a teenager that you never shoot directly at the plane you fire a head our you would never hit it. You fire the machine gun ahead of you plane and slowly bring it back into the plane. He knew what he was doing because he survived and became the best father. If I had another go around in life I would pick him over and over again. Rest in peace daddy I love you. 😢

Good Lord, the things this gentleman has seen . The worst things people have ever done to other human beings . He captured an utterly horrific part of history . Thank you for documenting and keeping actual proof of what went on. God bless you sir

My Dad is dead too. He taught me so much that I wouldn’t have learned without him. Our family has short men and Dad was no exception. At only 5’6 he fit perfectly in the seat for a bombardier. If you get a chance to see this airplane as they tour the US look at the device he would have used to calculate when to drop the bombs.

He was a member of the US Army Air Force Flying Tigers. Their home base was in Kunming China which was lacking many supplies. It was a frequent assignment to fly over to Kolkata India to get enough fuel for the squadrons next mission. They also bought all of their food and other supplies in India.

To fly over “The Hump” was quite dangerous. This was flying over some of the highest mountains on earth and crashes did happen.

Dad sat in an exposed part of the plane, a clear dome that was vulnerable to enemy fire. One of the missions he was most proud of was eliminating a dam without killing all of the villagers. He was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses during his time fighting the Japanese.

Truly an amazing example of the greatest generation.

Thank you for sharing these painful stories that need to be remembered. Thank you for your service, sacrifice and courage for freedom 🇺🇸

I was going through my great grandfathers things when I was kid, came across a small tin box full of photos from his time in WW2, absolutely gruesome stuff I didn’t intend to see. I had a hard time as a kid trying to understand how he could just take pictures of such horrors but now I know it was important for ppl back home to see what happened. He was only 16 when my alcoholic grandmother signed him over to the army. I can’t imagine being that young & seeing what he & all those good men saw.

[rikijett]

Thank you for your service Sir. It must have been absolutely horrific being there but so important that you were. May God bless you always!!!! ✝️🇺🇸✝️

My ex wifes grand dad was a photographer with army. Second wave of liberation of one of the camps. His photo books made the history books look like saturday morning cartoons.


War is hell.

[annahenderson]

Much respect to this man and all the journalists/photographers who captured the horrors of the war for the world to see. It boggles my mind that anyone would deny all the evidence for these atrocities. It is an insult to men like this courageous hero who endured so much to document what he saw. I honor all of our veterans, especially those of the Greatest Generation. I am a WWII history buff and write historical fiction, so these testimonies are invaluable to my work. These heroes will not be forgotten if I can help it.

[covidisevent]

Salute to you soldier, thank you for not only your service but sharing. It's very hard for some to share my girlfriends father was green beret in Vietnam. Was gutted by a helicopter blade and has scars to show it. I always admired and respected him he went through all this and still kept going, still kept fighting and came home alive. He was almost 7 foot tall so yeah a very imposing strong man. And a full gun cabinet.

[randidaeger]

Excellent. You are so right….these veterans deserve our undivided attention. My hope is that someday we will stop the madness of war.

[rachelmazza]

This man should be given a prize for historical journalism. He has recorded an invaluable resource of historical facts. And Rishi should be recognized for this as well we NEED this first hand documentation. 👏🏽

[pamdawson]

I feel for this man living with these pictures and memories.
This history is very important.

[galatians-.]

What a great man!! These stories and the men in them are incredible human beings. And I just want to take a moment to recognize this channel for the great and very important work you are doing. You are a great man as well. I'm extremely saddened when I watch man on the street interviews where people are asked about WW2 and the Holocaust and they can't even tell you which countries took part, who Hitler was, what he did, what the Jewish people and allied prisoners of war went through. I can't express enough how important what you are doing is... Thank you! At the moment I am greatly struggling financially but soon I will donate to this incredible cause.
...
THANK YOU! AND GOD BLESS YOU, FRIEND

The fact that people can equate the types of things this man has seen to misgendering someone or someone not feeling "safe"....is disgusting.
I Salute you sir, thank you for your service. My grandfather was in the navy during WWII and he survived pearl harbor, still have part of the zero that crashed into his ship and part of the Japanese flag.

[georgebrown]

Thank you, Rishi Sharma, for taking the time to interview veterans who fought in World War 2 to capture their experiences on the battlefields in Europe and in the Pacific theater. We must keep history alive and remember its lessons.

Thank you also to Mr. Filak for capturing scenes of Nazi atrocities in concentration camps in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
