When I visited Nuremberg last year I was deeply saddened by the ww2 destruction of a beautiful medieval city , but when I realized the horrific consequences of the Nuremberg laws I managed to come to terms with my sadness and realised that this was the price the city had to pay for such infamy and universal suffering which came from those very same laws …
Bland, dehumanizing, would have corralled a city of millions into the bleak monumentalism of a tasteless megalomaniacal Brutalism. Just yet another reason dictatorship does not work. You override the lives of millions with the aesthetic constraints of a single flawed egotist. People who praise this need exposure to a lot more architecture!
Warum kann ich es nicht bewundern? Warum wurde ich in einer beschissenen Welt geboren? diese wundervolle Parallelwelt Japanisch Deutsch bis 2013 Ich liebe dich!
Hi, their Pamir was to become the World's second five-masted, full-rigged ship. Or at least she is said so. Passat and Peking are twins. Padua is the World's last sailing multimasted freighter built. And the contemporary Star Clipper is of Polish origin. ♍
Much work went into the production of this presentation. Thank you for preserving this piece of history. 6:34 - 14 columns at the base of the central structure. 6:43 and there they are decorating a waste incineration plant in Stuttrart. Any idea of what happened to the original model? The one Mussolini had made of ancient Rome still exists.
Hello and thank you. The models were taken to the Bauakademie (building academy) at the beginning of the battle of Berlin. During the fighting it burned out, hence the models were lost
@@DrGull1888 Nowhere else could I locate that information. I reasoned that if anyone knew it would be the gentleman who constructed this magnificent documentary. Who knows - perhaps some workman on the cleanup crew picked up part of a little building and took it home not knowing what it was and some little piece still exists. I especially liked that the 14 columns still exist completely intact and are often passed by persons not realizing their significance. A lost treasure found. Thank you for this fine work.
@@josephbingham1255 If you are interested, there's the Germania model made for the movie Downfall. It is permanently exhibited in Berlin. www.berliner-unterwelten.de/en/myth-of-germania/permanent-exhibition.html
And so we live upon the mighty sea, it is our home, and so we die within the mighty sea, it is our grave, and the wind above blows the waves, and the currents are rivers below the waves and men and out machines of war and peace, are but flotsome and jetsome and spirits in the deep.
Potega mysli technicznej w tamtych czasach wyprzedzała Europe Co by było gdyby to stało się rzeczywistością Patrzac na te budowle ,trochę mnie przeraża a jednak fascynuje Wielkość i pomysłowość budowy Pozdrawiam pasjonatów historii tamtych czasów
Now what if Hitler build his dream mega city for Germania he would be unstoppable like the Volkshalle in germany and the Reichstag like seen the mega city will be mind blowing .Seen new building's Hitler planned on for like ever and the long path to the Volkshalle.
I am not ashamed to admit I shed a tear or two while watching this incomprehensible beauty, then looking outside to the decadent hellhole the West has become.
In 20 mins this documentary covered so much information. Very impressive! A great study between the living architecture of a functioning city and the vast, but seriously impractical architecture of a show city.
Un cofre que iba a atesorar el arte y la cultura de un pueblo imbuido por el valor, la lealtad y la gloria de su destino del cual nunca apartaría los ojos... ....ahora, un sueño y ya....
Question- why did the Tirpitz's crew stay aboard and suffered heavy loss of life, when it would have been more logical for them to be billetted safely ashore, leaving relatively few on board to man the AA guns?
Well, you also need people to man the power plant and the main guns, including to man the ammo elevators since Tirpitz was used as a floating battery in her last weeks. Then you need staff to supply the people on board as well a crew for damage control, maintenace and so on and so forth.
@@DrGull1888 Thanks, and I suppose they thought they were safe because previous attacks had failed and didn't know the new Tallboy was on its way courtesy of Barnes Wallis..:)
In 1958. I Treated Myself TO Windjammer And 20.000 Leagues Under The Sea. Double Bill Program. London Tottenham Court Road. My 18th Birthday. Tracked All Updates Now! Still Stunning Ships! My Xmas Card Design too.
Greedy aristocracy kept increasing taxes and bleeding the peasants more and more. Idiotic. Of course there will eventually be a point that the cost of serfdom outweighs the sacrifice of rebellion.
We have new technology. Electric winches, Dacron sails, carbon fiber masts, GPS, electronic autopilot, diesel engines. We won't need such big crews climbing masts. These beautiful sailing ships could have a second chance as we will need less goods transported . The counter act to globalization will bring forward a reduction of imports, and ships will be reduced in size. Sailing ships could be the new way of traveling the seas.
Beautiful video of all these great ships.. My father sailed on the L'Avenir as a trainer. This ship sailed out of Antwerp as a training ship. It was rigged identicle to the Pamir. I remember my dad talking about her when he was still alive... May they all be remembered..........
In 1958, when I was 6, my mom took me to see the film WINDJAMMER about a cruise of the Norwegian sail training ship Christian Radich. I was so enthralled, she bought me the accompanying book by Alan Villiers, which included a passage on the loss of the Pamir in 1956 (80 lost, 6 survivors), which was still on the public consciousness at the time. It was years until I could read and comprehend it, but I treasure it still. In 1964, I went to see the first Operation Sail in New York Harbor - convinced that would be the last time in history such an event would occur. As a bonus, on the ferry trip from New Jersey to New York, I got to see the SS United States putting to sea bound for Southampton. With that you would think I became a naval officer, but I ended up having a career as an Army officer. BUT, I was able to get leave and attend the Statue of Liberty Bicentenial and its Parade of Ships over twenty years later.
And that's very good, but Ch R has NOTHING IN COMMON with windjammers at all. By the way, the ship's surgeon of the Pamir worked during her last voyage preparing materiał for a film on windjammers. NOW pit od four remaining windjammers of Laeisz Co. no less than two are now in Germany, one in Mariehamn Aaland, and one still in service.
