It's a shame that RU-vid demonetized is videos like this. I can see in no way how this video is glorifying Nazis or anything else. This is simply history... history like the History Channel used to be. Thank you Simon Whistler.
+AsapNicky Bars : I have no issues debating you, but you have no concept of reality. You just ramble on with nonsense. Any time you’re up to actually debating _facts,_ I am fine with it. All I’ve seen out of you is baseless accusations and attacks. There’s never any evidence to support your position, just your weak emotions. That qualifies you as mentally inept and incapable of debating things that are part of the _real world._ Why are you online anyway? Shouldn’t you be re-foiling your hat?
+AsapNicky Bars : I’ve encountered you in other threads, or have you forgotten that little fact? If you’re going to be quoting from David Irving and other morons, I don’t have time for that stupidity. As far as Leuchter, yes... I am _very_ familiar with that case. Apparently you aren’t, or you wouldn’t be using that as your ‘evidence’. Leuchter was proven, in court (mind you), that his ‘samples’ were tainted and the results were thrown out, because they were contaminated (because Leuchter isn’t qualified to handle and process anything like that, he doesn’t have the specialized training for something that delicate). On the surface, Leuchter’s forensic findings could appear convincing, however they do not stand up to scrutiny. Leuchter was not looking for hydrogen cyanide gas residue in the gas chamber bricks. He was looking for ferric-ferro-cyanide or Iron Blue which he assumed would form when the cyanide in the gas reacted with the iron in the bricks of the gas chambers. He believed the walls of the gas chambers consisted of ordinary, unprotected bricks, so he thought the hydrogen cyanide gas would have been in direct contact with the bricks, making it more likely that Iron Blue would form. He could not tell that the brick walls had been coated with cement. The remains of this cement coating can still be seen in Crematorium II. This coating would have protected the bricks from the gas, making it less likely, if not impossible, for the cyanide to react with the iron in the bricks and form Iron Blue. Now... add onto that the fact that a Polish forensic research team gathered and processed evidence directly from Auschwitz. Their findings revealed the presence of cyanide. They believed the amount present was consistent with the manner it has been said to be used. Take your crazy somewhere else. You aren’t really interested in history. You’re interested in _revising_ history to fit your narrative. That’s good you love history - learn some.
+AsapNicky Bars : Yeah, by all means copy your sources here. lol That will make this much faster to resolve. Go for it! Oh...btw, I have actually spoke to soldiers who were _there._ They’re not in on some ‘conspiracy’ crap, I would know if they were feeding me a line (I know NVC). They start getting emotional when they speak of what they witnessed. Liars can ‘fake’ emotions, but the body always tells on them - these men weren’t lying. I also know someone personally that endured that Hell over there. They’re not lying, it happened. You can’t accept it, for whatever cognitive dissonance you’re dealing with about this stuff. Out of one side of your mouth you claim you want truth, then you willingly accept lies and try to pawn them off as true. That doesn’t work for a debate, man. It only makes you look foolish. But...yeah, put everything you got out here. It’ll be easier to ascertain the credibility of these sites you’re pulling this stuff from. I’ll wait to review them.
+AsapNicky Bars : ROFL!!!!!!! That’s absolutely hysterical!!!! 😂 Go ahead, write my name down, take a picture, I don’t give a fig. You don’t know anything about me, hence the “suspect” 💩. Actually, I had to look up that organization. I think it’s quite comical that you’re so delusional you just place people being members of random groups. Hahahahahahahahahaha You’re lacking one key issue... I’m not Jewish, fool. lol That was funny, though! Thanks for the laugh. 🤣
@@seanmccarty1176 - Oh, wow… you’re so edgy. Spewing hate at a man that caught hate from everybody. Real counterculture, man. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 FYI, I can’t stand Trump, but this incessant caterwauling about someone who isn’t even in office anymore on social media is pretty pathetic. Be better.
Grievous Reborn, whether he just parrots what he is told to or is part of the research team, I honestly do not know. The important point is that the videos he presents are full of easily checkable inaccuracies.
A few years ago I learned that my great - grandfather was an Gestapo officer. His coat is still hanging in my grandparents attik(without the insignia). Kinda weird knowing that my ancestor took part in such things.
I found out my great grandfather wAs apart of the geztapo too. But he loved my dads dad for some reason my dads dad brought my dads mom back to the states when ww2 ended

@@magistrumartium read up on how women and children in Germany were raped and brutally murdered by Red army soldiers but as they were German that makes it alright. Read up on the attrocities commited by the Russians. Yet because , eventually, the Russians joined the allies that makes it alright? Talk to people who lived under the jack boot of Russian occupation how "lovely and wonderful" the Red army was. How many people realise that the current European Union was created with the aid of former Nazis? It is based on the ideals of a united europe as intended by Stalin's Soviet Union and Hitler's 3rd Reich. Are you aware that the gas vans and gas ovens used by Himmler were an invention of the Soviet Union in the 1930s?
Guy N D, I know about all that stuff, except for the gas vans being invented in Russia - but so what? The fact that Lenin and Stalin were mass murderers doesn't mean that everyone was just as bad as the Nazis. I certainly don't think it's OK that the Red Army raped German women, but that happened after the Germans invaded Russia and massacred people there. The war was cruel and terrible, but certain groups were more brutal and terrible than others. Don't go thinking that everyone was the same. They weren't.
My grandfather was in the french resistance during WW2, since he was too young to enlist in the army. But when the americans entered the war he became a tank driver, because he was older and more experienced at that time. He was captured by Gestapo twice. If it wasn't for his sister being able to forge papers to release him I would most likely not be able to sit here and watch this video. So this video felt closer to my heart than most, thank you Simon and the Biographics team for a great video! 👍And thank you to all other veterans for your service and bravery during the war. My grandfather didn't say much about his experiences, but the things I heard were not exactly upbeat. So thank you for your sacrifice
he looks like a 30 year old virgin living with his mother who spends all day moderating a gaming discord server and trying to get people to raid other servers
J U Given I stated “their” and “Nazi party” in the same sentence, the meaning was self explanatory. As for him doing his job to the best of his ability, that wasn’t an acceptable excuse at Nurenberg and it’s unacceptable now.
@@pv2xeek Does that justify his role in The Final Solution? This isn’t over, the Nazi’s and their ideological descendants are active and will stage a redux, probably through Marine Le Pen. They will lose, again but this time, if people like me are still alive, death is immediate. I will stop at absolutely nothing, my life included, to get these people. Oh yes, this is personal. As a black man I wish to get revenge on all white supremacists. I’ve been waiting almost 500 years and am patient. My ancestors in Jamaica were those that freed themselves and escaped to the Blue Mountains of that country. I grew up with passed down oral narratives of how captured British soldiers were treated. I am of that tradition.
As a self-described history buff, this story was incredible informative as well as entertaining! This is normally not true in most historical period videos. They tend to be dry and boring. This was FAR from it! Thank you for posting this! This is my first view on the "Biographic" site. Looking through this I see many other titles I want to see! Perhaps I will simply veg-out on Saturday and do a marathon on these until I get caught up lol!!!
Wah waaah. Reminds me of the old one that goes something, like, "I went to the doctor's for a check up and he tells me he thinks I'm in terrible physical health. When I told him, I wanna get a 2nd opinion, he, says, 'Okay, I also think you're ugly, too!"
SS doesn't mean "Secret Service". They stand for: "Schutz Staffel" or Protection Squadron. And 'Gestapo' is Geheime Staats Polizei. Not 'Polizia'. And there's another error. Reinhard Heydrich, was never the "Head of the SS". Heinrich Himmler was.
My father knew EVERYTHING about World War II. I wish I had listened to more of his history lessons when he was alive. I've been thinking a lot about his knowledge of history (particularly the Second World War) and have been doing some research on the things that he enjoyed researching when he was alive. I knew most of this about Muller from my father, but I am loving all the information that I am getting. Of course, I fear history repeating itself. My country (America) is heading in this direction.
If there was ever a history teacher I would've listened to at school it would be Simon, I dont understand why he hasn't got a show on TV yet- his videos are never boring and his story telling is way above par! So if any TV ppl read this comment- GIVE SIMON (and his crew) a TV show of their own!!
Look at his recent videos, Mao Zedong and Leopold II. He claimed Leopold II's atrocities was the biggest cover up, the Belgian comments say otherwise and there's quite a number. Then there's some comments in Mao Zedong pointing out the incorrect info mentioned in the video.
Great video as always :D - Can you make one about Pol Pot?

It's ironic that the uniforms for all the Nazis were designed by Hugo Boss, and the people who worked for him were actually American Jews. Truth is really stranger than fiction.
stan broniszewski That is not entirely ironic given that a job would entail a means to survive and place food on the table. You gotta do what you gotta do to survive.
I've just subscribe to this channel after you mentioned it in one of your other videos. I found it very interesting and your narration makes it all the more so. I'm surely going to spend the day binge watching as many as I can, because I know that I'm going to learn so much stuff from them that I otherwise would not have known.
What's really interesting to me is that most of the higher up Nazi officers clearly had serious mental illnesses which would probably show up even if WW2 never happened and yet this guy sounds like more of an overzealous cop that wanted to be the best at his work. He partook in and organised all these monstrosities but in a different era and place he would probably be a successful stock broker or CEO like a lot of high functioning psychopaths and sociopaths that don't end up doing anything more serious than maybe a small white collar crime. I think circumstances play a big role in the direction of our lives and the scary part about all this is that most employers would line up to hire an intelligent but obedient man who never questions his higher ups and is very efficient at what he does so the perfect employee of today could have been a ruthless leader, a war criminal or even a war hero if born in another era.
Really enjoying these short biopics of some of the world's most famous and infamous characters throughout the ages. Nice work, team. A wonderful teaching aid for myself and my family, too......
Simon u should be a history teacher really,I've been subscribed for years on TopTenz though,history is my favorite subject,im really obsessed with WW2 but you got me to enjoy more,thank you
We celebrate 100 years of Independence this year in Poland, would you consider making an episode on someone related to the Independence of Poland or Greater Poland Uprising? BTW great channel!
@@Heidenspross Treu dat. The folks behinds these videos are as bad as the History channel for falsities. Almost as if they were lying on purpose to deceive the world... 'coughjewscough'.
Muller did NOT die in 1945, but serviced again in 1947 at the side of Alan Dulles ( head of the C.I.A. ) He became a véry important member in the ranks of the C.I.A.during the Cold War
Think you could make some World War I biographics? I feel like not enough people tall about that interesting period. I find it extremely unique because of the large number of accounts and the colliding on modern technologies in warfare.
+Petra van Hoften : Yeah, he butchers the language a lot. However, he did a lot better in pronunciation on several German words than he did in the past - so I gotta give him some props for the improvements. Albeit he pronounced Helmuth and other things, he has got a few of them pretty accurate. 😃
You should really cover Nancy Wake. She was the NZ/Aust woman that fought for the french resistance in WW2. Her code name was the white mouse and Muller couldn't catch her. She spoke at my school when I was 15 and I never forgot her. The stuff of movies.
Which came first... is not an example of a question with no answer. Aristotle asked the question and then gave the answer. Hint: Plato’s Theory of Life. It was definitely the chicken. The chicken did not necessarily lay the egg, that is not at all the point.
You can see him at work in one of his trials; go to Wikipedia/Roland Freisler, I did. The boy was a complete bastard. Even his fellow Nazi's hated him.
Did they not consider he placed his papers and identification on an already dead body in order to escape? I'm sure he didn't intend for that body to be placed in a mass grave. Someone clearly didn't check all of the bodies for identification before placing it in the grave.
I just found and subscribed to your channel yesterday!!! My husband and I are criminal history enthusiasts and have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos!! Excellent job!!
This reminds me of how amazing I found the police work in Fritz lang's great classic movie, "M". The police investigating the series of child murders finally get close to the suspect and visit his apartment to search for clues while he's away. The suspect returns unsexpectedly and the cops run and hide. They run and hide! A few years later, the Gestapo would have broken down the door, drag the suspect away and torture a confession out of him. what a difference a few years made. It's just so difficult to comprehend. The Gestapo even imprisoned famed rocket pioneer Wernher von Braun because, at a party celebrating the success of a rocket test, he made a toast that said that instead of London, they should be aiming for the Moon or Mars. von Braun got rescued by an Army General who went to the Gestapo headquarters and, more or less, told them that, while he understood how they liked to kill people, if they killed von Braun,there would be no one to build the Fuehrer's rockets and he would be most displeased. The Gestapo let von Braun go but told him to give their regards to hs wife and kids. Point taken!
@@shawngilliland243 The movie, "M" is by. Director Fritz Lang. I don't know if he based it on a real case but the police procedures that he shows were pretty normal until the Nazis took over
@@shawngilliland243 Oh, if you mean the Von Braun incident, I got it from a documentary on his life. I think that it was called, " Man, Machine, Moment". That is, when all three Ms coincided to make history.
jmchez, I have seen Fritz Lang's "M", and it is shocking if police procedures depicted there were the norm. Wow. I know that the German Kripo (criminal police) enjoyed broad support from the German people, unlike the State Political Police ( Geheime Staatspolizei - the Gestapo), which all sane Germans feared and many detested.
Thank you for doing this video on Muller. I would recommend reading through the works of Gregory Douglas 'Gestapo Chief - the 1948 Interrogation of Heinrich Muller'; which claims to contain transcripts and details of Muller's post-war escape to Switzerland, where he was later approached and employed by none other than the CIA for his expertise in anti-Communist intelligence and counter-intelligence to help the US in the Cold War...
Demonflesh spawn Which is the opposite of the story he went to help the Soviets. Which is more believable? How many other Nazis are claimed to have SECRETLY work for the US. I know the rocket scientists who worked for NASA. That is the extent of my knowledge. But before the CIA the US Army ran all that sort of thing. Not exactly (even if in some bizarre way close to true) believable the US Army harbored Nazi War criminals in 1945...???
It's a small thing, but it was "RSHA", not "RSMA". It was an abbreviation for "Reichssicherheithauptamt". Also, "Sipo" meant "Security Police", not "Secret Police". Still, these are generally very well doen video's and it's always good to see someone passing increasingly unknown knowledge on. :)
@@HardcoreTristesse Indeed. They began as a small off shoot of the SA and turned into a multi- tentacled organization that had its claws in almost every facet of German life, as well as that of the conquered and oppressed territories.
Hardcore Tristesse. Quite right! I've always preferred the translation "guard echelon", as they started life as a small group (12, I believe) of personal body guards for Hitler. He may have been confused by the fact that Heydrich was in charge of the SD - the intel department of the SS.
@@klackon1 Well, getting the SD wrong as "Secret Service" would still be the same mistake as in Sipo, due to SD standing for Sicherheitsdienst, or "Security Service"
The banality of evil remains an ever facinating topic. We need more time to get the complete picture, though. Simon sometimes seems to be a tad rushed, &, breathless. Still, excellent job, as usual.
All of Beria's prisoners were led down the staircase of the Lubyanka and shot in the basement. All behaved stoically without a whimper. Beria when led down the stairway begged for his life and cried like a baby before he was forcefully pressured to kneel to be shot.
Not to glorify the atrocities just some food for thought; how far back would we be in technology if it wasn’t for Hitler? It’s a shame it takes war or a threat of war to push us ahead in technology. The space race, the arms war, WWII, without these events in history the technology we have now might not even exist yet. The groundwork for most of the technology we enjoy today was laid or sped up exponentially because of these events. If we lived in perfect harmony from the dawn of time would we even have rockets, Cellphones, Nuclear power, The internet? It’s an interesting question.
Hi Simon! Thank you so much for doing thorough research; it makes your videos very interesting and teaches things that most people wouldn't know from high school history. I have a suggestion for a future video, if you would be interested. Can you do a video about Simone Arnold Liebster? She wrote the book "Facing the Lion" about her life as a child in Nazi Germany and I 10/10 recommend you read it, even if you don't do a video. It gives a new perspective on what that time was like for normal people. Thank you for listening!
He was my Great Great Uncle. The allies NEVER Caught him. Good luck next times. Be grateful you not around in those time my Great Great Uncle would have pulled your fingers nails off for even half of what you just said!
I don’t believe that either. He probably switched uniforms and papers with a dead German soldier and got the hell out of there. He was a smart dude. He had a plan to get out.
Hi Simon, I always thoroughly enjoy your videos. Concise, informative, important and interesting. Also - i've been using backblaze for quite some time now and it's an extremely good and actually rather inexpensive service so a shout out to those guys as well. Thank you for all the content, much love to you and the team! :)
