Historian Reaction - Hitler by Oversimplified (Part 1) 

Fun fact: when hitler was young he almost drowned in a river however he was saved by a priest and on that same day in that same river that same priest saved the man who killed Hitler

Ayyyyyy, can never get enough of Oversimplified

This is why giving an F in art school is extra scary

3:00 it went from H-ie-tler to Hit-ler cause whenever he was enraged, he would punish Adolf severely

Just found your channel. Easily one of the best history dudes out there

I'm a 16 year old student who has taken biology as a subject. But I always had an interest in history and you explain things so well. Really appreciate it and keep up the good vids!

"This is just the grammar nazi in me." - I love you, a perfect pun for the content.

Additional note on Adolfs Nephew. He served in the US Navy in WWII after he made a special request to FDR. He was wounded in battle and received the purple heart. After the War he used his medical training to analyze blood samples.

This guy is easily among the top quality of Reaction channels. I learn something new even when watching him react to a video that I've seen dozens of times. I like ya cut, G.

I like how he finished the phrase "who punished him severely" lol

You mentioned how different family members can go so differently. My Mom was one of six kids. They had nothing growing up. But they had loving parents. My Mom's family was so low on the social totem pole, that they were not on the bottom, but below the totem pole. They were looked down on a lot. My Mom was never bitter on how they were treated, and neither her sister. My Aunt ended up teaching school in Japan in a international school, and the students LOVED her because how she cared for them. One of them traveled all the way from the Philippines to go to her funeral when she died of cancer. My Uncle on the other hand, is an extremely bitter man. He is the complete opposite of my Mom and Aunt. He is very selfish and only thinks of himself.

this is the best reaction to the oversimplified hitler video I've ever seen, like you provide the most background with additional information, other reactions don't cover also you can only watch it from other people's channels and not directly from oversimplified in austria and germany, because it's blocked here :(

I think the big takeaway from all this is that it takes so little to turn a person from nothing to something. We all have that little bit of narcissism and the need to blame others. Hopefully we can use that bit in a positive manner.

Henry Tandy is such a butterfly affect case it’s insane. It really shows how random yet critical life can be.

6:31 Loved how you said “Punished him severely” at the same time as the Audio.

You know, no matter what history effect the action of Henry Tandey had. I feel kinda glad and proud because it just goes and shows the empathy he had, and that shall be praised

It’s not available in my country. Thank you for your reaction so I could see the video.

This guy is so under rated(my fav youtuber)

Just found your channel today. I already knew how accurate the information from channels like Oversimplified tends to be, but I enjoy the clarification, extra information and context you provide at certain points. And I love the fact that you'll often say points right before the video does. You obviously really know your stuff. Keep up the good work.

“Grammar nazi in me” interesting word choice

Hey Chris! Congrats in advance on 25 thousand subs! Also, The History Channel just began uploading their old show Battle 360, which documents WWII from the perspective of the USS Enterprise. I think that would be a really cool reaction series if the History Channel is on board with it. The episodes are an hour long so you might need to break it up, but I think it would be worthwhile as the show was made just in time (2008) for the CGI to hold up to modern standards, as well as have a bunch of the crewmen from the Enterprise give live interviews to tie into the story. If you only want to do one episode instead of like 10 hours of reactions the second episode covers the battle of Midway in a really great way! The series has nothing but good reviews on IMDB and on RU-vid.

Your account has got me a lot more interested in history, especially the American civil war and both world wars

I love your videos. I was a history major myself. I love how you add more information. You even drop some info I dont know. Keep up the great work. Thanks for all the great quality videos.

Fun fact: Since the jewish family doctor of the Hitlers, Eduard Bloch, tried his hardest to cure his mother charging only reduced prizes and sometimes even non at all, Hitler had a tone of respect for him. When the Nazis annexed Austria, Hitler made sure that Bloch would stay as unaffected by the prosecutions of the jewish population as possible (which worked for the most part but not completely). He even wanted to make Bloch an "honorary aryan" to ensure his safty and that he could continue to work in the Third Reich. But Bloch refused since he saw it as a betrayl to his faith and migrated to the US, where he died on June 1st, 1945.

Came upon this channel when you reacted to ERB Alexander the Great and just got hooked to your videos. Really like how you not just watch and sit in silence, you actually add some interesting information to the video. Nice!

this may be one of my new favourite channels. You deserve more subs!

Another great reaction. I think I've binged all of the reactions so far and some Sabaton videos. Great additions and even corrections. Its greatly appreciated that you take the time to look up something you aren't sure about, adds to the quality of you and your channel. Keep up the great work!

Now I can finally watch this video in germany again

Absolutely loving your videos! Binging the oversimplified and ERB series. It’s so nice to enjoy something and also be able to learn. Keep it up!

Love your reaction videos Vlogging Through History/ History Guy Gaming! I'm beginning to binge watch all your videos. Thank you for teaching me history while reacting! Regards from the Philippines!! Congratulations on advance in 25k Subscribers!

When the original video is banned in your country but this isn't : HEHEHEHE Edit: omg I have never gotten so much likes

Started to watch your videos recently, I've been loving them! Your comments add a lot to the videos, keep up with the amazing content!

The reactions to oversimplified videos are great, the mix of oversimplifieds humor and extra details by you is awesome

ive been binge watching your reaction videos. on my own, i would’ve never watched this video, but watching you, giving small little references or fun facts, makes it not only entertaining, but the information sticks.

You deserve a lot more subscribers you make the best content I really like your videos and I somewhat prefer them over oversimplified videos because they give me more context, please keep making these great videos!

"If you can see that the subscribe button is red, turn it grey." Me, an intellectual who is colorblind: I only see blue.

I feel that after world war 2 modern art seems more abstract, and it allows you to get into art school a bit easier.

That poor Belgium flag though... What most people never seem to get right is the correct color sequence for the German flag 😂

thank you so much for taking your time on making this video the original video is sadly blocked in my country and I am glad I could see it thanks to you :))

I really enjoy watching your reactions partly because I actually feel like a history teacher is reacting to a video. You bring up interesting facts that I had no idea about, can't wait till part 2:)

Speaks to how good the oversimplified videos are that I’ve watched them all the way through and still watching all of this. You’re doing a good job adding background and content, but still, the oversimplified channel is fantastic

10:11 The doctor who looked after Hitler's family was a Jew, he was the only Jew who was protected by Hitler from racial politics. This doctor later lived in poverty. When Hitler came to power, the doctor wrote a letter to Adolf asking him to give him a job, but Hitler sent him to the USA and wrote in the letter "Thank you so much for looking after my mother, you did a lot for us."

Glad I found your channel. Been watching a lot of Oversimplified over the last year, and I’m always happy to see someone fill in some of the gaps in the history info. Suggestion to name this format something like “Slightly less Oversimplified”?

"The now 16 year old boy was unemployed and without much purpose in life" this shit be hitting kinda close

FUN FACT: Art appreciated before WW2 was really detailed artwork of people and gods etc. AFTER WW2 however... it was abstract art that a 2 year old could do. They just didn't want anybody else failing art school. UvU

Ok, I thought I was just in for another Oversimplified reaction and then you actually dig and pull out references and sites to critically evaluate that vid, you really provide substance to the term "historian". Cheers mate, I definately subscribe, much love from germany

Who else originally came here just because the video is banned in your country then stayed because the commentary was entertaining

Unfortunately, this OverSimplified video isn't available where I am (London, UK), so I'm glad to see it here. Excellent video 👍🏻🐐

You’re videos are always so entertaining to watch. I’ve been following you since before you hit 10k subscribers but I always come back for me. Great stuff! I’ve always loved history and learning as much as I can. I thought about even making an Instagram account just to follow your trip to all the battlefields. Can’t wait to see the videos you post about that. Keep up the awesome work!

Actually, yes, I'm French and dug all the oversimplified videos without seeing this one and without this video, I could never have know that it exists, so thank you for that

You are great at what you do and it’s fun to watch . I just want to say I’ve already watched it but, I just love the extra information .

I love how you do these to give credit and funds to Oversimplified! These are just nice videos to watch and follow along with what is in the video. And it shows how well Oversimplified actually covers the information.

this is why my teachers dont want me to use Wikipedia cause they know that ill learn more from a historian and oversimplified and Wikipedia than in school and my knowledge will be more than the teachers

Great video ! I never heard that story about Tandy , I’m glad you shared that ! I enjoy oversimplified’s videos a lot and your reaction is a nice compliment

Why do I wish my History teacher went this deep on the things we learned. Love the content, and your further explanations of video topics.

Awesome video, man. Just found your channel a couple of days back. Loved it. Definitely my favourite history reactioner. Besides Mr Terry. Also, because this video had been blocked in my country (Hungary) as well

I love oversimplified content! Btw I recently found your channel and you reacting/explaining this makes it easier for me to understand since i dont really know a lot about history. Hope you keep making great content like this!

Regarding Henry Tandey, it is said that in a meeting with Chamberlain, Hitler told this story and had a painting of it in the room of his house Berghof in Berchtesgaden. However, there is a chance this story was forged, as Tandey was a war hero and wasn't currently there to dispute anything, Hitler could have used his name and the story to make himself look more friendly and grateful. Even if it is true, Hitler still "used" the story in addition to his good speech talent to manipulate Chamberlain. The meeting where Hitler would have told the story was the first of the three in-person meetings with Chamberlain on September 13 1938 following the Sudetencrisis.

Bro, imagine if that soldier had actually shot Hitler instead of letting him go

this video never gets old. feel like i remember a new fact you mention every time i watch! i study sociology and social anthropology at uni so your videos help in my wider understanding! thank you

Love ur vids man I will DEFINITELY sub ur a great guy

I just found your channel recently and your content is just amazing. Keep up the good work!

"He went on to say that it was the best time of his life" Now thats how you know how demented he was. The front lines of WW1 were nothing but a human slaughterhouse for both sides. Nothing had ever been seen like it in previous wars. Soldiers fighting with modern warfare tactics and equipment with an old school war mentality and he enjoyed it. Wow he was a horrible human being but he must've been a good soldier to not only enjoy WW1 but also be awarded with the Iron Cross

I love it when you add stuff to the videos. helps fill in the gaps that oversimplified might gloss over and it does feel like a discussion!

Wow dude, yesterday you had 23k subscribers, and the next day you have almost 1k more, keep it up!

GREAT video commentary! Couldn't be better...

10:14. Interesting fact the doctor that treated Klara was a Jewish doctor named Eduard Bloch. He was the family doctor. Even treated young Adolf when he got sick as well. I read on Wikipedia that after the Anschluss, he was "put under special protection by the Gestapo."

Interesting coincidence - my wife has just completed her bachelors in psychology and is going on to a masters, and hoping to specialise in conflict resulution, It seems my wife and yours may have much in common.

Great video, I especially like the parts where you dive a bit into detail about a topic in the videos. Keep it up!

I think some people should understand the context. You are an historian, someone who is definitively going to expand considerably the story told by the videos and give more perspective. People, he is not a common streamer that will just kept quiet or just say "oh, ahhh, woah". In fact, that is what makes these things interesting in the first place. If you watch a video about an historian reacting to something, you are here because you want to see how that historian will compare the contents of the video with the knowledge acquired so far until now, and see if he gaves an approval to it or not, perhaps even now knowing new parts of the overall puzzle, because we are always learning new elements. We are constantly evolving in that sense, we are never the same persons as before, as the famous philosopher Heraclitus said in one of his sayings: "Nobody can swim in the same river twice". I think that if a person wants to have the reactor to just say "oh, ahhh, woah", I would suggest to look into other youtube channels.

Awesome reaction and insight. Looking forward to your next video. ☺ Was I the only one who cracked up at the brief pause then play through at 7:27? 😁

I can’t wait to see him react to the Russian revolution.

Speaking of what you said pre-viewing, about visiting the Spottsylvania/Fredericksburg battle site, I'll make sure to look that up because I happen to drive to Fredericksburg for a regular doctor's appointment, and every time I cross that bridge over the Rappahannock I think of the Union crossing that under heavy musket and shelling. It's hard not to think about, like history happened right there.

With the US and the world censoring history and who did what... we need more unbiased objectivity from people like you brother. Thank you for the content. I’m sure they’re going to stop teaching it like this if they even do now a days. Being blind to history dooms us to follow it and repeat what we should have learned.

I can't stop watching these. The concise info from the video plus your commentary fills in any gaps🤙

Best way to repeat the catastrophe is by ignoring the first one as if it never happened instead of learning from it

And even though Ludendorff and possibly Hindenburg started the "stab in the back" myth, they were the ones who requested that the Kaiser abdicate and that Germany ask the Allies (actually Entente, but...) for a peace agreement

the British dude who chose not to shoot him may have created the worlds most devastating butterfly effect.

Yeah. I used to watch Mr. Terry for knowledge on foreign history but the time i watched you. I become your student and sucked the knowledge you blessed on me. So thank you and keep up the great content

8:09 he was about to say "who punished him severely"

Thank you so much! I watch this video often because the video is unavailable in my country: The UK You deserve another subscriber.

I love how when oversimplified says punished severely you say it at the same time 😂

Keep it up man, I found this channel few days ago and I really like it.

I would recommend The Man in The High Castle, it's an Amazon exclusive show. It's Alt-History show, where the axis won WW2. It would be a good show to dissect, how people change over time under the rule of Germany and Japan

Rewatching some of your old reactions. While sometimes wish you could link the source you used and timemark it (Yes I got rather high standards) I greatly apprecaite how you look up parts of the history sources and read it out! It's your best quality as far as I'm concerned!

I’m one of your old Subscribers, i love your channel. It will be nice if you could do Epic History TV World War 1 series.

I love your videos I’m a big history person and Im learning so much from y’all! Keep doing your thing great sir!!!

Glad to see my fellow NE Ohioans making such cool history content

I know i’m late but fun fact about the doctor that watched over his mom. The doctor Eduard Bloch was a jewish doctor who looked after young hitlers health as well as his mother and when hitler annexed Austria he gave the doctor special protection.

Tysm one of the best history teachers out there

Thank you for this reaction! Now I can watch your reaction AND another great oversimplified video in Estonia))

Fun Fact: this video was blocked in Germany and Poland

In Germany we can't watch this video anymore it literally doesn't appear anymore we can only watch it through reactions

Adolf Schicklgruber in 1876 took the family name of his stepfather Johann Georg Hiedler, but a clerk changed it to Hitler - either it was a simple misspelling or on purpose, as the word hiedler (~peasant) had some pejorative meaning at that time.

3:52 = SWEET HOME ALABAMA

What I love about your videos, is that they seem even-handed. Some other history RU-vid folks tend to inject their opinion into it, which I loathe

I love this guy I love that he is doing more vids

In france we don't have access to the original video but at least I got to see it through you so thank you :)

I got this 45 minutes later 😂 👌🏻👁️👅👁️👍🏻

Hey man, I live like 2 hours from you! Great Content and Reactions, I love the slightly deeper dive you give! O-H!
