so he fought with the germans on the western front. now he's home and he's going to tell john a bit about the war. he's a great writer. he writes, w iall right a way. but having seen some of it, i'm incledo tnk that sherman slandered hell when he compared it to wa i'mnclined think that the devil would blush with shame to do some of the things that rprated in the name ofar i never in my worst imaginings pictured war as bad as it really is. while brussels, i had first view of kaiser wilhelm, the king of germany and. no german can look in his eyes and, not absorb some of his enthusiasm. some of his patriotism. and some of his love. for and faith in germany. now he has diagrams of battles. in this letter. and ws that. in right around this time of yea1914, this is where he was fighting with the germans. and there was a guy these name you might recognize as an au fighting for germany. his name was adolf hitler. so it's conceivable that gil rubbed shoulders with adolf hitler. now letter writing was a primary of communicating for these people.

i found out that that author, the soldier, trained but never went to the western front. but he had a brother who did and his brother's name was edward harris. so, i got a hold of the edward harris correspondence from his family and i wrote a story about him. he was from armor, south dakota. then, this family, after reading that story, got in touch with me and said, we have all of our faernd father in law' rld war i memorabilia and we would like to have you take a look so i went to aberdeen and i met marvin. and his wife, leona. they had a whole garage set up with world war i and other war memorabilia. and they went down in the basement of the house and they came up and they set a stack of correspondents on the kitchen table that was about this high. now, as a historian, i am looking at that sack and i am just going, i wonder what is going in there. the problem was, private warrants had written a note on the top and it said, private, not for public viewing. one time when he was showing these items to his family, he sensed that they did not have the proper respect for the

he invited him to come over and soe fought with the germans on the western front. now he's home and he's going to tell john a bit about the war. d 's a great writer, he writes war is all right and away, but having seen some of it i am inclined that sherman slandered when he compared to war. i'm inclined to think that the devil would blush with shame to do some of the things that are perpetrated in the name of war. i never in my worst imaginings picturedwar as bad it really is. while in brussels i had my first view of kaiser will helm, the king of germany, and no german can look in his eyes and not absorb some of his enthusiasm, some of his patriotism, and some of his love for and faith in germany. no, diagrams of les in this letter. it shows in 1914, right ar this time of year, this is where he was fighting with the germans. there was a guy there whose name you might recognize, and austrian fighting for germany, whose name was adolf hitler. so it is conceivable that gill rubbed shoulders with adolf hitler. now, letter writing was a primary way of communicating for

my grandfather was an american soldier on the western front. he said if there was one organization, one group that was always there for the soldiers, it was the salvation army. i love this photograph, this woman, and looks like she's baking pies for them, or cakes. these experiences were vital in the sense that many of these nations at the end of the war finally had to accept that women should be first class citizens in that they should be granted the right to vote. in many nations they were the two holdout of the major powers from over one that did not grant women the right to vote were france and italy. the others did. french and italian women would have to wait until 1946 before they would get the right to vote. don't get me wrong, these experiences of the great war were quickly forgotten as soon as the emergency was over. in many countries, this same lessons about the need for women, the vital role that women play in war had to be re-learned between 1939 and 1945. i am going through this real quick. does anyone have any questions? no. yes s

we tend to think that the war ended by the fighting on the western front, but the on the western front was really one of four factors that ended the war. and i've mentioned this book before by david stevenson, the british historian of the war. and in this book, stevenson argues that there were three other factors that really as important. in some ways more important than the actual fighting on western front that brought about the end of the war. and i want to go them just very quickly the first factor that stevenson mentions is that germany's other partners began to pull out of the war. they had had enough this began with bulgaria. there's a strange map in that. this began with bulgaria. at the end of september, 1918, with out of the war. the ottoman turks were isolated and. they're already under a lot of pressure with british forces and british empire forces coming from mesopotamia and up through palestine, into anatolia itself. so bulgaria pulled out of the war then the ottoman turks pulled out of the war. yes. well, when you say bulgaria in the territory territory, not no. september

western front. s appointed just 2 weeks ago, a government commission investigating from the court and a possible execution. konev was saved, georgy zhukov recommended him for the post of commander of the kalinin front, with whom konev participated in the battle for moscow. and when was he asked questions? uh, ivan stepanovich probably the main battle of your life is still berlin, he always answered. well, i remember it very well. no, this is moscow, because then they managed to keep my blood, but when they were able to defend our capital, defend our the country was precisely a member and resistance on the western front, it gave time to build the defense of moscow, the horses for the first time could tell about it only in the sixties the army of the missing encirclement fought heroically. they played a big role. the main thing is that they fought, they fled, if they fled, then on the shoulders of the retreating enemy, you could easily break into moscow, then there was the battle of kursk. the liberati

main character of his novel died, a message from the front in the general staff was noted on the western front without changes this is what we have done on our fronts unfortunately, it can mean it does not mean that everyone is there roughly speaking, they are standing in positions and everything is not moving anywhere, this is such a dynamic story, when somewhere a little bit of the enemy, somewhere a little bit of us, and it works like a living organism, and from the latest data that we have, in principle, official data that ah, there is an initiative on our part by the defense forces in the area from the north of bakhmut, for example, at the same time we see that the northern part of the donetsk region, liman, the general staff reports that the enemy is trying some counterattacks there, go slowly, as this complicates the situation in the direction of bakhmut, for example, well, in the direction of liman, there is one of our subdivisions, so i also know the situation well, in principle, it is not particularly correlated, and i will tell you more. you are right that the situation there change

on the western front.a will protect you , this union will give us the opportunity to defeat our enemies and strengthen the power of both socialist republics on the western front, every second belarusian communist went to the front. the city of minsk did not experience a joyful time during the exhortations of the dokupants, the people did not sit at home, they pulled him on the street and up to the people at the theater at the cinema. since before the belarusian people, more than two dozen interviews of witnesses have completed the filming of a new documentary series, belteriya radio company genocide without the right to life 16 episodes, real evidence and testimonies collected by the prosecutor general's office. in belarus, the victims of punitive operations will personally tell about fascism and the horror of the occupation, and according to declassified material from the german archives , hundreds of actors in thirty-two staged scenes recreate a time that should not be repeated. the most valuable thing i

did germany fight on the western front, when the united troops moved, let's say, yes, the western peaceeastern front. ukraine will follow the same path, and moreover, if a number of western regions of ukraine become larger and, perhaps, there will also be a large influx of population from those who will be satisfied with this. it seems to me that, by the way, this will also suit us. by the way, it's short. what do you think? this is a prospect, so to speak, a real one in the next year of elections for a in poland, due to this , the campaign will be activated in opposition to an unlikely campaign. naturally, in first quarter in the first quarter. again, because, but it all depends on their funds, inflation is on average higher than in the european union. there is only coal waited several times, therefore, if there is no other agenda, then accordingly, this will be the next level of rockolation, uh, about a wired phrase. if it works out in poland, ukraine has already united in a number of issues of legislation, it is already allowed for polish state officials to work, that is, the prepara

yes, yes, yes on the western front, all is quiet. here is the question. what was it? stand? here is the german empire there, either ours or an ally, because everything was staggering like that, there the spaniard had still begun and there was no progress in france, but there was a collapse already in the states themselves. and here already someone will show great strength here, in fact, shoot. we have a great past, in which we always beat all this western, bastard. we have the great real, we were called by all the good, as interlocutors to the feast, and our president is equal in majesty with them. and we have a great future grow warriors military patriotic club granite celebrated the first anniversary today there is someone to beat brazen enemy muzzles, and will continue to be. during this year, a lot of children have matured. the children gained confidence and became friends in the team. fencing is trap shooting, practical shooting and hand-to-hand combat, and already for the weekend. they pay more attention to military subjects such as general military regulations,

where on the western front without change? eh, in fact? such arrangements, self-arranging . very cold understood. well, how does marlene look? and how does marlene look? yes, yes, who lived to be 92 years old, drank and smoked all her life, but i follow her path. you're only in this pledge the song is good, but you know for some reason i stayed cold. i don't know why you asked him, no, warmth, you are the inner one in this song, this song is far from me, unfortunately. you're awesome, but congratulations. well, congratulations anyway. fire stas you, took the microphone, he wanted to say something, apparently everything that lolita does she does holistically in terms of genre, she puts it there, always acting sense and very cool musical, and the background, as it were, but i think that this tower, in general, as it were, uh, well, what assessment to put i hate. since it's such a booze. lera i watched you in monitors, as i said, we learned to read your articulation, but there were some not very ethereal expressions. therefore, you can now re

has been made, some laws or regulations still need to be passed on the other hand we feel the western front line, in particular here in the european parliament until february 24, in my native country of lithuania, as well as in countries such as france or germany, there was a different approach, they have already apologized, they admitted that cooperation with putin was a mistake, this is putin's view that now they have problems like for example, in germany due to dependence on gas and oil in hungary too, but hungary has not yet admitted its mistakes, many countries previously had a different perception of what the russian union was when the ussr collapsed, it seemed that history ended and no one wanted to understand or condemn the atrocities and crimes committed during the times of lenin's or stalin's regimes, the holodomor, the occupation of the baltic countries, when i saw the photos of irpen's desolation from other cities, i realized that it was also in our history when the ussr came to lithuania, lithuanians were tortured, deported, people were thrown away behind the bars the forest is

knock back, this is the spirit in which most of such serious serious bullets were deployed on the western front during the second world war. did not change at first 14 in the last days thank you very much popovych, a military expert, was with us, we are moving on, we will try to find out what happened in ivano-frankivsk region, whether rockets hit or not, the mayor of the city, ruslan martsynkiv, is already with us now on communication mr. ruslan good day good day to you congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes it is nice to see that you have a video connection and i hope that this means that the situation in frankivsk is better than in lviv we are only happy for you here in such a case well actually after all, lviv oblast received more of the blow. there was information that a missile hit ivano-frankivsk, they do not correspond to reality, that is, ivano-frankivsk was hit , and there was no hit in that place and more or less, well , the situation is calm, but the air alarm is still there continues in our region, you know that there is the burshtynskaya tpp, but thanks to the anti-a

we've seen over the past year or so, a pretty united western front of we can call if that in terms of pushing back perhaps from washington, they're what they want to take. maybe it's not in the same interest as brussels before. that seem to be completely instinct maybe not so more any more is this sign of a, of a wider a global break in the western alliance gym to, as you know, there are many things going on in the world which seems to indicate that we are having realignments of countries, it's happening throughout history often throughout history. the palmer is supposedly prominent alliances, break up and start over again. and it seems to be with what's going on now your brain, china, in the middle east. lots of things are happening, which may be changing the world. how it all ends up. i don't know, but back to your point here, the europeans and the koreans are exactly right in this case, is a case where america is forming a restraint or right now. i don't think did you do the same thing? don't think south korea knew the same thing, but in this case, i would agree with korea and you'

15th century, but now there is a popular film about the first world war, uh, there were on the western frontar in a very similar way. more than 100 years have passed, and little has changed, and that's why putin lives so long with outdated matrixes, well, it is indicated that he is like a person, maybe he still functions, you know, he breathes, he goes to the toilet

geopolitics and 15th century war now there is a popular film about the first world war, er, on the western front, the mass media, it describes our war in a very similar way. it’s been more than 100 years, but what has changed? and the fact that putin lives by such outdated matrixes, well, it is indicated that he as a person maybe he is still functioning, you know, he breathes, he goes to the toilet, he eats, but mentally he has long been mummified, numified, what kind of figure is it, except that the mausoleum is not lying, but it is already very much on the way to them. well, he is not there when we first arrived, but you see, we are discussing statements well it doesn't matter who voices them, but it's putin's, it doesn't matter if it's lavrov piskova or someone else , but these theses are still being given, and that means the opinions of the people of food and uber, the recent statement of the secretary general of nato regarding the fact that the war can get out of control and it will already escalate in a big war and it will already be a confrontation between nato and the russian federation

along that western front, we are going to see some more heavy snow to come here that is likely to cause more disruption. now behind that, there is some improvement on saturday, clear skies the beijing stretching down to that east coast. shanghai seen the temperature pick up slightly, but it is still well below the average. and we are going to see a bit of a wintry mix below its way in from the west. that's going to knock temperatures down for the likes of chan. do as well as will hand there was a move to south asia or a relatively quiet picture up across northern areas is so got some watches out for fog in the north west of india and pakistan. but the wet weather is plaguing the southeast of india. an sri lanka, you can see that when windy weather working its way further in land we august is very heavy, falls with thunderstorms into colombo, as well as the se. if india it's a bit of a washout of a. we can't hear that to weather ah, progress. we're a serious mistake. artificial intelligence is slowly invading every aspect of our lives. but very few of us really understand its capabilitie

best, the best, non-english-language film is there , first of all, well, let's talk about on the western frontthout changes, of course, remark after remark, and the film is discussed in particular in ukraine, not only by traditionally comparing it with the literary original source, but with our real situations around, because there are a lot of such reflections on whether or not the authors succeeded in conveying the realities of the war, it seems to me that the majority agreed on the fact that they succeeded on the occasion. watch this tape, which you have not seen yet. well, in the same domination, it is best not to speak english the film included a tape called ar-ar-ar - this is exactly this indian film in which er tells about the struggle against the colony of colonizers against the british empire of course er andriy the persian film is close enough for us a-and well, this film is also defined as one of the most expensive indian songs of recent times well, there is a scene near the mariinsky e palace, now you can watch it traditional indian dances and songs against the background of our ma

on the western front in fact, they stopped the war against england and america, at the same time, thenue the war with russia, an ally of england and the usa, it is clear that such a situation cannot in any way serve the cause of preserving and strengthening trust between our countries. germans resident american intelligence in europe, the future head of the cia behind the back of the ussr on may 10, 1941, british pilots intercepted a lone serschmidt over northern england, whose pilot jumped out with a parachute and surrendered to the authorities after landing. it was a high-ranking official of the third reich, rudolf ges, all the documents related to the hess case. in england, they are still classified. however, the secrecy stamp was recently removed from the svr documents about this historic flight. the third person in the hierarchy of nazi germany, according to the nazis, fled to england, but from documents of the soviet foreign intelligence show that he was sent to london to conduct negotiations that were supposed to save germany from fighting a war on two fronts. here is what is r
