As with all conflicts, this was not a binary where it was the &#8220;good guys&#8221; versus &#8220;the bad guys&#8221;. And before anyone else says it \u2013 some people will probably complain how we frame the Soviets as the bad guys. We chose to tell this story from a neutral perspective, but fact is that many German civilians feared what the Soviets would do to them, and preferred to live under American occupation. This might be considered anti-Soviet, but it simply is how many Germans viewed the Soviet army and one of the reasons why Wenck and his 12th created a corridor for the civilian refugees to escape into American occupied territories. We&#8217;re happy to have a reasonable and research-based discussion in the comments, but we won&#8217;t tolerate any extremism or revisionism.<\/p>\n<p>Another note: while this episode is about a moment where the German army thought for humanity instead of against it, it nowhere near proves any sort of clean-<em>Wehrmacht<\/em> myth \u2013 and we won&#8217;t tolerate any comments of that sort either.<\/p>\n<p>And with that, I will leave you. Enjoy the video!<br \/>\nCheers! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sabaton History Published on 30 May 2019 The Sabaton song &#8220;Hearts of Iron&#8221; (on the Heroes album) tells the story of a German commander who is ordered to relieve Berlin in face of an overwhelming attack from the east and the west.
