Germany Surrendered... They Kept Fighting 😱 #shorts

[00:00:00]Why did German soldiers keep fighting after Germany surrendered? In May 1945, Germany had already surrendered. People in the West were celebrating peace, but in the East, the war was still going on.

[00:00:09]German soldiers were still fighting in many places like Prague and Courland.

[00:00:13]Some were even trying to escape and reach American forces. Why? First, fear.

[00:00:17]Many German soldiers were scared of being captured by Soviet troops. They believed [music] they would be treated badly, so they kept fighting to survive.

[00:00:24]Second, chaos. Communication had broken down. Orders were not reaching soldiers.

[00:00:28]Many units didn't even know the war was over. So, even after surrender, the fighting continued because fear and confusion kept the war alive. [music]
