The Beast of Omaha

On the 6th of June 1944 at around 5 a.m. the first shots started to ring out across Omaha beach. Wave after wave of American Higgins Boats landed on the beach. Severloh would take the initiative here with his Lieutenant telling him to not stop firing until they ran out of ammo. The defence was hectic with Severloh manning an MG42 which was supplied with ammunition by a sergeant that Severloh didn’t know.

Overall after 9 hours of continuous fighting Severloh would fire 13,500 bullets out of his MG42 with another further 500 fired out of two Karabiner 98k rifles. In this time he killed an estimated 1000+ American soldier with some estimates putting that number up as high as 2000.

he mercilessly mowed down up to 2000 young people with no repercussions as he would later be captured by the allied troops in a retreat with no one knowing of his deeds until his statement was given in a book called “Sie Kommen! Die Invasion der Amerikaner und Briten in der Normandie 1944”.
The winner of the war always dictates history. This is why we see someone like Severloh as a beast compared instead of a hero. If an allied soldier did the equivalent he would be revered in the army community as a hero, like how many pilots look up to aces from the wars.

They probably did not know what they were walking into
-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.

I watched this interview of a Higgins Boat coxswain, who basically said the only reason he didn't immediately die on D-Day was because he had rows of meatshields in front of him when the ramp went down.

It's insane how expendable soldiers were in WW1 and WW2. I don't quite get that sense in modern wars.

brainwashing, fear of retaliation from their comrades, adrenaline, speed, alcohol....are some of the reasons for their exceptional bravery.
also bloodthirst.

To this day I still cannot watch the opening cemetery and D-Day without tearing up a bit. I've had to pause and walk off a few times to calm myself down. That part where the guy is screaming for his mom damn near broke me.

There are levels to it though dude and during WWII, the Japanese took it to new heights.

The medical testing they carried out on POWs was beyond disgusting. Look it up srs.

At this point im wondering if young guys are even aware of the kind of **** their grandfathers have to go trough just a few fukin decades ago.

Brb worrying about tiktoks, onlyfans, "supposed" police brutality not supported by actual numbers, etc. "This is so unfair i cant go to bars", "brb uber eats is so expensive!"


These people need a reality check srs. Im 29 and i would be considered a fukin senior 70 years ago, now people at 29 hardly seem like they cant change a light bulb
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."
