Yeah like the Stasi….they were so great 🙄🙄

@@CalgaryStampedersClassics warum auch nicht, Lohn kam pünktlich und nette Kollegen. Wer schon immer was mit Menschen machen wollte war da genau richtig ;-)
Igual me gusta que los rusos hayan copiado todo de los germanos. Hasta el escudo del imperio ruso es copia del escudo del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico y fueron civilizados por San Cirilo, también fueron dirigidos por una 'alemana' como Catalina. Sé que en el fondo, más allá de la guerra aman a los teutones y su rica historia. Así que sigue subiendo material, que para esto me gusta youtube. Mucha suerte estimado ruso.

Best Army in the Warsaw Pact
Not just the warsaw pact, its being found out that they were one of the most motivated and trained armies on the planet (can't blame them since they got permission by the soviets to stay pretty "german" tradition wise etc etc)
@@BKrol-dr4gi Not the Best, ( Soviets were ) but out of all the "clients" the Nationale Volksarmee and the Polish Ludowe Wojsko Polskie were considered the only "battle worthy" armies in the pact. But Id say the NVA is better than the LWP, and just shy of the Red Army.
@@kapauk_k2982By the 80’s, the Polish army was not politically reliable. Sure it was huge and had a lot of equipment compared to the others, but their loyalty was dubious at best. The NVA would be the most “battle worthy” of the Pact states, followed by Bulgaria, the Czechoslovaks, and Hungary, with Romania and Poland being more suited for garrison duties and second line work, because of the aforementioned political unreliability. You’re not wrong about the loyalty of the NVA though. By the late 80’s, one could make a pretty good argument that the DDR was more committed to the communist cause and the Warsaw Pact project than the actual Soviet Union.
@@comrade_commissar3794 in reality, Czechoslovakia and East Germany were the most advanced states and thus the armies. the rest were fundamentally backward, mainly Romania and Bulgaria, and Poland never had such an industrial base
@@pipexxinar6444 Indeed, but i’d say the Bulgarians are a bit more reliable than the Czechoslovaks. Their backwardness would be made up for in zeal, i think.
thank you for these wonderful documentaries..🥰🥰👍👍
Priceless piece 😮
Котбус - город моего детства, наш военный городок был рядом, в Драххаузене. Фильм 1980 года, значит мне было 5!

These are always so cool.
I agree, they always show so many aspects of the GDR!

NVA последняя белая армия Европы !
Gotta love the music,😊
Always interesting to see what was on the other side of the iron curtain
Die musikalische Einleitung des Dokumentarfilms über die Nationale Volksarmee war großartig, sie erinnerte an einen Rhythmus aus der Disco-Ära der späten 70er Jahre
Great quality footage, looks like 35mm even
I need to see all of this
I enjoy your videos. Top vision quality given the age! I'm always curious about life in East Germany whether civilian or military. Keep them coming. Regards from Abu Dhabi - UAE.
I am very pleased that you enjoy my videos! Thank very much for the kind comment! The GDR definitely had an amazing culture, rich with military tradition!
A great german learning resource!

It’s always interesting to watch the “Soviet” Germans. In the footage from the GDR, much is reminiscent of the features of life in the USSR, despite the fact that these were always very different nations.
Great soundtrack

Why is this music so godlike
because very cool people came up with it
Man, I love the music! May I have name of those?
I love the music. Do you have the titles of the tracks?
Unfortunately I do not! I am hoping someone will figure out the name of the music!
Замечательное видео, показывающее жизнь и быт во всех сферах народа ГДР и дружбу между СССР и ГДР! Годы проходят, а смотришь видео и хочется вернуться в те времена. Я был в Восточной части Берлина и там своя атмосфера возращающая в Советский период моего детства✊👍
Ahhhh que lindo.
ГДР и ЧССР были "витриной" социалистического лагеря. СССР тратил немалые средства на поддержание там относительно высогого уровня жизни. Конечно, помогала традиционная германская изобретательность. Произведённые в ГДР товары широкого потребления разлетались в СССР на ура из-за высокого качества
"mantener" 'allí'....'un nivel de vida relativamente alto'...y el Oriente ruso?...y por qué colapsó? Que habrá sido? Analistas dicen que en vez de desarrollar el Oriente ruso gastaron (o le hicieron gastar) demasiados recursos en un viaje a ninguna parte es decir al espacio o la "Guerra de las galaxias" que tanto ha asustado al régimen soviético como también la carrera armamentista.
they still could kick asses around with that equipment...

Ja, die Armee erster Klasse war NVA! Wir waren zusammen auf Trainingsübungen! Die Tankwagen waren super, sie sind vom Bahnsteig gesprungen! Magdeburg 1987-1991!

Y qué pasó?
Yyyy? Que pasó al otro lado?
Very intetesting
Seeeeee, los videitos de la Alemania soviética serán mis series favoritas.
During the cold war. I always thought of the Warsaw pack at USSR occupied. But I thjink the East Germans would have been a formidable opponent.
And now Germany is occupied by your transgender American homosexuals)
What's the music at the end ? It's so sick
3:37 oh my 😏🙏
Good thing about reunification - they rebuilt baroque Dresden old town and Berlin palace … sort-of.
while letting pouring in millions of uncivilized beggars whose descendants are going to let rot all architecture anyway once they are the majority which will be soon
Лучшая Армия социалистического времени.
19:39 Интересно, насколько частыми были вот такие дружеские посиделки? Не хочется верить в то, что это постановка
Достаточно часто,я будучи школьником в конце 80-х неоднократно посещал своих немецких сверстников. Конечно же показуха была и будет всегда и везде,но в целом всё было чудесно, Мы узнавали что мы практически не имеем кардинальных отличий и что Мы Люди!

30:58 What name of the soundtrack? it sounds good
you find it?
@@devilman1_1 still no
The Germans were the best builders in the entire Soviet bloc; all important construction projects trusted them.
From a lot of odd framing choices -- especially tops of hats or heads being cut off -- I get the distinct feeling that this was originally filmed in a 4:3 aspect ratio and the top and bottom of the picture have been chopped away to make it "fit" zoomed in to a 16:9 widescreen. Come clean, Maximus ! At least you didn't stretch and distort the original, but why not just show us everything and either upload it as 4:3 or at worst use pillar boxes?
Because this was a raw scan and you could see the perforations of the film on the video. It looks better in 16:9 in my opinion, even though I usually upload the digitized films in 4:3 I also did a lot of color correcting to make it look as best as possible. The original scan looked very washed out and desaturated.
@@MaximusandHistory Well the processing you did really shines through in terms of video quality, so thanks for that. I just wish you'd cut only the minimum necessary and showed it in the intended 4:3 so we don't lose any information
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Простите нас, граждане ГДР.
Amén.
Wtf this looks like it wasn't filmed that long ago
35mm film is very powerful, and in fact, we only just recently surpassed the quality of film with super high resolution digital cameras in the 2000's. To put this into perspective, the first 4k camera was released in 2003! 35mm film has about the same quality as a 4k to 6k resolution camera. You can scan a nitrate film from the 1890's and it will almost look like it was shot today. However this highly depends on the material, quality, and preservation of the film, as well as the type of scanning technology and format used. 99% of old films were encoded into analog technology (VHS, Betacam, etc) and thus they looks terrible because most of these films have not been digitized and it costs a lot of money.
@1:00 I love the happy disco beat shown over B Roll of death machines. Absolutely zero cognitive dissonance.
Nothing wrong with it, the film is supposed to present the NVA as a guarantor of peace and as a "People's Army" and not some imperialistic war mongering military.

Die Lebenserwartung bei Männern war in der DDR nie über 70 Jahre. Heut sind wir bei 78. Darum: sicherer… wovor? Luftqualität war miserabel, Arbeitssicherheit ebenso. Unfälle lagen sehr wahrscheinlich erheblich höher. Das einzige wovor du in der DDR sicher warst, war aus Versehen das Land zu verlassen.

3:11 Yury Gagarin 3:35 Se parece al Caesar Kunikov. 8:28 El 'bloque' soviético...mano de obra germana contratada por la Urss. Para construir también allí. 19:23 Después de tanto ensayo, un poco de distensión 19:38 😁 Interesante, ver a los soviéticos en la Alemania Oriental es como si el imperio Otomano estuviera cerca de Viena. (España fue también conquistada por musulmanes). 19:38 Ostias!!! Esa escena es parecida al capítulo "fire and blood" donde queman a la bruja y eclosionan los Dragones de Daenerys Targaryen y a esta la hacen tildar de "fascista".
