Hitler Stunk As A Military Leader. Germans Who Were There Describe It 

What’s the saying, I think it goes Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak mean create hard times.

Take a look at Germany's current energy policy. They are destroying their own nuclear energy reactors. Hopefully that lunacy is not an omen. Watch out, it might be happening again.

@Truth Bingo!

Of course. You’ve been out of work, your kids are starving etc. suddenly a man called Adolf Hitler comes along, puts millions back into work, puts food back into yours children’s bellies, starts too build state of the art autobahns, big grand buildings and within a couple of years your life is worth something again. What are you going too do? Your going too support him.

Don’t forget hitler was a hobo

Then don't be so fucking stupid. Or you get Trump

why people keep following the US presidents? tehy are non stop in wars

Because he did what he said, he completely vanished unemployment in germany, in nazi era german economy became 2nd fastest growing economy in europe. But yes what he did with jews was completely unjustified.

Fox news

That's right.

Well said.

Here's the dilema: Other people can suck you into nonsense, but they are also your best resource for finding out when you're wrong about something. This is why critical thinking is important.

Its public schools feeding your kids biased information its all such bullshit and its everywhere

'It's not just the politicians and media you have to worry about.' Indeed, these days we have the seductive power of the internet with conspiracy theories powered by social media sucking in millions to a new form of 'group-think'. Critical thinking, the ability to assess the quality and relevance of evidence, avoidance of circular reasoning, and similar skills are absolutely essential to find one's way in today's information-saturated world. IMO, children should be learning this stuff (at age-appropriate level, of course!) from a very young age. It can no longer be delayed or confined to tertiary college/university courses, which many people, especially in America, lack access to, but should now be a basic requirement of children's education, like literacy and numeracy skills.

Agreed. People fail to realise how reliant on literal Horse Power the German military was as well. However, I think that's usually in regards to logistics/supply trains. And it's been a while since reading up on the Polish army's tactics, but what horse units that were used were, I think, primarily handling anti-tank weaponry.

Truth be told, Poland fared much better against the German Army than the French & their Anglo Allies.

@@Peter43John oh i thought they only lasted 6 weeks.

@@Peter43John - Although the Poles fought bravely & with great stamina, Poland was savagely torn apart by the combined attacks of the Nazi & Soviet ogres. It was hopeless.

Untrue... we know today what happened to dominated people at the hands of imperialism was wrong, and we do a lot of things today to correct the misgivings of the past.

This is completely true. Unfortunately under a genocidal dictatorship there's seldom any other option. I know which I would choose.

@@Celisar1 call of duty quote :)

The same with Mussolini. Had he not entered the war, Fascist Italy might have even existed today.

Britain at that time was unaware as was the rest of the world that the economic stimulus Hitler used to propel the German economy was wealth stolen from Jews who had been murdered, run from their homes and sent to concentration camps About a third of the German economy was funded by stolen Jewish wealth as was approximately a third of Germany's war material. Your teacher was seriously lacking for not pointing that out. It is common knowledge now

Same story with Putin. Everyone thought the dude was smart. Now hes a fool. People always think other countries are better untill they see their true colors.

If hitler was good at anything it was acting and lying

Exactly the opposite of the left in America does.

Read the book, influence. Watch both conservative and "mainstream" media. Then read Marx and Mein Kampf. You'll be terrified of what is happening in the western world, if you aren't already, and you'll be one of the few who don't jump on the soon to be genocidal bandwagon unless it is stopped.

Yep, I guess some things never change......sadly.

ManufacturedReality deeply saddens me

For that man doing no more than serving his nation I completely agree. Fanatics are the ones who lose their right to be seen as honorable. The tragedy is 2 honorable men on opposite sides can be forced to do this on the behest of fanatics who do not know what war looks like.

American did daylight bombing raids on Germany that were so dangerous, completing 25 combat missions got the bomber crew sent home. The average life expectancy was only 11 combat missions for an 8th Air Force B-17 crew, and 37 seconds in combat for the ball turret gunner.

Pervatin may have helped.

Really, heroic, when not doing so lead to a firing squad? The USAF and RAF were in the same boat. And merchant seamen crossing the Atlantic (of whom 28% were killed) knowing that EVERY SECOND or every day could be their last.....don't celebrate a few Luftwaffe crews too much - they were bombing civilians and creating the concept of total war - if they had a choice about what they did they would be criminals not heros.

@@ninjawizard3865 good old nazi race-hatred probably stiffened their resolve too. Just like when they flattened Warsaw because the Poles (and Jews OFC) were fighting back. Russia has really become the new nazi state with its approach to capturing cities by reducing them to rubble first.....how very 1942

Yeah it's mind blowing

My grandfather just turned 94 a few days ago and he fought in ww2

Thank you for replying.

Yes very interesting. It’s hard for me to dislike Germans I have a lot of German ancestry

hitler was an agent and never intended germany to win the war

Polish cavalry attacked German tanks with lances? Where did you clowns learn history? Such an attack never took place. The Poles had cavalry units that were equipped with anti-tank guns. On horseback, Polish soldiers were able to move efficiently through forests and wetlands. One case of a head-on confrontation with German tanks took place, but it was not an attack on the tanks. The Polish cavalry detachment was surrounded and, in order not to be destroyed, escaped by breaking through the tanks, because it was the best chance of this escape. German losses in the Polish campaign of 1939. 17,269 killed 30,300 wounded 3,500 missing 236 tanks (not bad for a lance attack, eh?) 800 vehicles 246 aircraft

he said it in vain.

Hmmm...war...more. They do rhyme, don't they?

It was the general thought process back then. Adolf wanted to do to Russia what Britain had done to Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand. Don't overthink it to death. People back then truly believe in environmental determinism.

And her antisemitic hatred of the wealthy german jews who employed her was a bonus!

@@disgruntledpedant2755 You didn't know that woman or how she felt about anything or anybody, besides what Eily is telling us what her grandmother said. If Hitler hadn't made the German people's lives better, he wouldn't have been elected into office...it was a different world back then. The severe sanctions that were imposed on the German people after WWI is what created the environment where a guy like Hitler could succeed. The German people couldn't have anticipated what would ultimately happen, and when they did...it was too late.

@@disgruntledpedant2755 Not every German was antisemitic, and there were many people in other European countries who were. It's easy to think of WWII in black and white but there was a lot of variation and subtlety.

@@disgruntledpedant2755 We got Troll ! Folks we got us a troll!

@Paol Vrobel yeah most of Germany got their oils from USSR.

@Paol Vrobel no such thing. USSR and Germany signed a pact after Poland had been invaded. USSR was unprepared for war. But the pact was signed for keeping the peace between the two countries, allegedly. Molotov Ribbentrop Pact. Look it up.

The irony is, Japan and Germany are today two of our biggest Allie’s and trusted trade partners. I’m an American and love visiting these 2 well run, educated countries. What a mess periods of history were.

You can't remove those things and still have Nazi Germany though. The entire thing was steeped in Hitler's personality. He invaded the Soviets because the Bolsheviks were always on the chopping block for him. He declared war on America because he saw America as the puppet of a malignant Jewish conspiracy, and a key source of Europe's ill fortunes. You don't get the military machine without him, and he was it's fatal flaw as well. Simply put, the Nazis were doomed to fail from the start because the entire ideology that informed their actions was based on a wildly warped version of reality that was destined to run head-first into the real reality.

He had no choice but to invade USSR to get more oil or he’d run out. USA wasn’t hardly in the war really, apart from with Japan. It was Russia that brought down the nazis with or without them.

weejams I used to live in a socialist country in Western Europe. Not everybody makes the same wage as you say. There are economic differences of poor, rich and middle. Only the differences aren’t chasms as they are in the US with CEOs making 400-700 times the wage of a company employee. Socialism is not communism, either. You sound like one of these men who is disappearing from America, the non-college educated white guy who earns a good salary and gets good benefits. You don’t want that to change. Therefore, you want the rest of America to remain in its current state with low wages, obscenely high health and education costs, and rents and mortgages....who’s going to flip the burgers at McDonalds, you ask. Immigrants who you want to waste billions of dollars “building a wall” against. They’ll do until the robots come along, which we’re already seeing. You want to discuss world affairs and economic systems that are beyond your comprehension due to your lack of education. You sound like you’re doing OK economically, unlike the vast majority of Americans. Since you have the money, why don’t you go to your local university, college or community college and take some history courses? Study economics while you’re at it. Then come back to you tube and make an informed, rather than a self-centered argument based on your rank ignorance. That’s more enlightened than flopping on the couch with a beer and watching college football.

@weejams I can help you with your confusion. For the same reason most people are either too lazy or "don't have the time" to read the 448 page Mueller report in order to know they are being scammed by Barr's exact opposite "summary" of the report which now allows trumps worshipers to actually believe that it exonerates trump, (It clearly states the exact opposite, It does NOT exonerate him), you will always have lazy or naive people that will not go to college because it requires at least 4 years of brain work they are not prepared to do, free or not. For example, many don't bother to finish high school today. So there will always be an ample supply of "burger flippers" that will always play the victim card so well rather than ever admit they did not prepare themselves for life. The GOP's biggest fear is education. Think about it. Remember, it's much easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled. The GOP mantra is simply this - Keep 'em scared, angry and misinformed. It works like a charm. How else can you sell tax breaks for the ultra rich and not much else, especially for you and me. If you remember correctly, in order to sell the tax breaks this time, you and I were supposed to see roughly a $100 a week extra in our pay checks. Instead, most of us had to pay more at tax time. We were supposed to get insurance that was a small fraction of what we were previously paying. Instead, it went up, a lot and they are trying to take away pre-existing condition guarantees. We are paying almost a dollar more a gallon for gas. But instead of taking care of business when they had all three legs of the government for two years, we got tax breaks for the ultra rich. Anybody getting a picture of the con here? Yes, lot more minimum wage jobs. Hows that working out for you? Most of the stock market that makes any money is owned by the very wealthy. Again, not much help for the middle class. So it makes the economy appear from the numbers to be good, but how's YOUR pocketbook? I could go on and on, but most of you that need to think about this have already fallen asleep lol! And they know that, so they just lie with impunity and many will continue to believe it. And the destruction of Hillary by the right wing propaganda machine has been a work of art, but that's another story.

@@bubb5225 - No doubt, you consider yourself among the BEST-educated. Always easy to make sweeping generalizations when you set yourself up as the Standard-Bearer. What BUSINESS did YOU ever run, "April May" - or whatever months you claim to be? Companies don't just piss their money away on CEOs - they EARN every penny . . . Robert A. Iger, CEO of Disney earns $65 million per year. He oversees the entire Disney Empire of companies valued at $130 BILLION. If Iger makes one poor business decision - he could DECIMATE the value of the company he is paid to oversee. Let's say YOU are on the Board of Directors at Disney - and a Robert Iger comes along, claiming "Pay me $65 Million - and I will increase Disney's value by $10 BILLION." Is a Ten Billion Dollar Gain worth $65 Million to you? You'd be a damn fool if it wasn't. Can the guy who runs around Disneyland dressed as one of the Three Little Pigs increase Disney's value by $1 BILLION?? Probably not. He's paid a wage based on his value to the company - and how irreplacable HE is in the job. Face it - ANYBODY could wear a Disneyland costume. It lierally could be ANYBODY in there, and who would know? Not exaclty a position with a lot of Job Security. What Weejams said has a lot of truth in it. When you guarantee a liveable income - regardless of whether you work or not - those who would work the hardest will come to resent theose who are leeching off the system. Eventually, they will slack off, and before you know it, nobody is doing theit best to produce top-quality work. This may not be what you experienced under Western Europe model of Socialism - but, it IS what is being proposed by American Socialist Democrats. In addition, what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's "Green New Deal" promises IS Communism. The State controls the major means of production - from Energy Production and Use - to Healthcare to what car we can drive and how we are to heat our homes.

@weejams all the "jobs" are being taken by robots. all the people in school are getting worthless degrees. put them together, and you have your breadlines.

@@bubb5225 The fact that Bill Gates ore Steve Bezo's have billions does not make anyone else poor, just the opposite. You sound like the one who needs an economics education, although going to college these days will make one more ignorant to the truth. Socialism has a 2 generation shelf life before they tax everyone into poverty and then the masses suffer, totalitarian powers increase, and eventually total collapse and often war. Socialism is the epitome of, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, however the intentions of politicians are never about the people, only themselves, and hence lies the problem with Gov't's.

It is simply amazing to watch this video and realize how many parallels there are between Hitler and the Nazis and Chump and the current republicans. The fact that almost 70 million americans cannot see it and refuse to acknowledge it, is a very scary and very sad commentary on a significant segment of american citizens.

Corey Ham you need to open your eyes. ANTIFA goes around terrorizing and doxxing people, media censors conservatives, liberal politicians made a list of trump supporters (intimidation). Why is it the Republicans you think are acting like this video? Fascism is inspired by Marx and is “left-wing”.

@@rach9466 Hitler literally said their "socialism" is opposed to Marxism as they believe in private property.

We know what happened to Mr S. It’s appalling, the us still refuses to release the autopsy.

@@johnb.8687 ​ First off, RU-vid doesn't block spelling Libya correctly. Second off, Are you serious? I mean, "whataboutism" is a common in political debate nowadays, but this takes the cake. While Benghazi was tragic - and just FYI, I had tons of criticisms of Hillary/Obama - 4 Americans died there, versus as of this comment, over *_200,000 from COVID-19_* under Trump. This is a scenario the National Security Council on bio-defense was specifically formed to prevent and tackle, but Trump's administration _eliminated it entirely_ in 2018, along with slashing 2/3rds of the CDC's budget for dealing with pandemics globally, maybe just because it was an Obama program, or mentioned other countries (even though it wasn't for charity, but so any potential pandemics are fought and contained outside our borders _before they even have a chance to hit us in the first place_). When asked about this at a press conference, he flippantly dismissed them as "sitting around" when we "didn't need them," which is basically the same as saying we don't need fire departments around in case of 4-alarm fires. This was despite the vocal alarm at the time of many prominent, typically apolitical doctors and disease experts, whose only concern was preventing deaths. Then, last spring, when the worst pandemic in a century hit this country, he straight up dismissed, then completely downplayed COVID-19 as it began to ravage America, despite seasoned epidemiologists sounding the alarm, while saying at a rally that Democratic party criticism of his non-response and downplaying the virus was "their new hoax," going on to say yet again it was no worse than the flu, both of which his supporters took to mean the entire virus was somehow an elaborate, worldwide illusion. Yet privately, _at the very same time,_ he was busy admitting in recordings made between him and Bob Woodward that the virus was "deadly stuff," "rips you apart," and ominously saying, _"it is the plague,"_ which was actually _much worse_ than the flu. He says he didn't want to create a panic despite knowing the danger, which might be understandable, but he still could have done what countries like South Korea had done to vastly diminish its spread without mass panic, yet inexplicably, instead of marshaling the resources of the country which holds 1/4th of the wealth on Earth, he was busy saying first the virus would "disappear like a miracle" (lol), then when people began to die in serious numbers, pointed out a typical flu season kills ~30,000 give or take (over many months), when COVID has killed _7 times that many_ in less time, and keep in mind that's even with _tons of people taking precautions they never have_ during even really bad flu seasons, like masks, reducing social interaction often significantly (if they aren't selfish a**holes), while businesses enforce their own, yet it still killed far more than any flu, and _it isn't even over yet_ with both colder weather and the regular flu hitting us all at once in the coming months. If you think this wasn't avoidable, South Korea, a country comprised of tens of millions of people which was hit far earlier than us, thus showing us the way, have as of this comment ~360 deaths, vs. our _over 200,000,_ which is nearly 1,000 times as many. Who knows how many would be dead by now if we'd just "went back to business" like usual last April til now, which Trump and the craven politicians supporting him wanted, who didn't have to put themselves and others at risk, many of them for low wages and zero healthcare benefits. Yet, incredibly, despite all that, you want to sit here and whine about Benghazi and Hillary (yes, she sucked _and_ Trump sucks - both can be true and only one is currently president), and an event where 4 Americans died under her, versus 200,000+ so far from COVID-19 under Trump. Unbelievable. Enough that I wrote this response, not so much for you, but to memorize it for whenever I come across arguments as ridiculous as yours again.

It may be ironic, but Hitler went to a speech coach who taught him the conducting gestures of -- irony of ironies -- the great JEWISH composer-conductor Gustav Mahler to complement his words. If you look at his gestures you see them more suitable for conducting an orchestra than for illustrating his words. Perhaps Hitler, well known as a music-lover and a marginally-competent (but lazy) artist, missed his calling.

How to determine whether a source is trustworthy or not is critical to successful research. The mass de-education / poor education of the masses and derision of learned men and institutions is crippling the populations ability to consume information. Just think of how many times you have questioned someones sources and they respond back with "the internet"...it is a sad state of affairs.

similarities today.......big tech and the fake media surpress , censor , delete and have been caught in 1000000000000000000000000000000 lies. anybody who would not smash blm and antifa.....take their sides as they burn down our buildings and assault our own citizens. this is the tip of the icerburg. but we have been taught to be sheep and not stand up. we were told not to have big families in the 70's.....later they are saying we need the illegals because we dont have enough workers to replace the old ones. your generation didnt have enough kids. i guess everyone is just not raised right.......what a pity.

If you trust that today’s government gives a rats tail about you, it’s you.

The English are Germanic people like us Germans. Scandinavians and the Dutch too. We are pretty much the same people. Thats pretty much the reason.

It wasnt about Huskers desicions - Germany was doomed to loose WW2 due to lack of resources

He was an incredibly inept strategist. He literally started a war with the worlds two most productive economies while still fighting the British

LOL

Radio = CNN

Do you notice how there are Television's everywhere?

Good observation

@@saynotohookups I didn't notice 🤷‍♀️

You might really enjoy "The World At War" series. I believe many of the interviews here were excerpted from it.

Michael W that doesn’t say anything, Hitler wants to change, he dominated the people, people didn’t have a say in what happened,they had it foisted on them.

I am not German but germans are the most hardworking Europeans, most disciplined, most innovative, best scientist, etc.. they did not deserved to have their own people starving to satisfy the French and english

I don't think people who start wars do much counting. Their brains are set on the likelihood of winning.

War is measured by the number of body bags filled. I'll beat tRUMP had a ready supply of body bags..

Danel Irimescu they sure did, that’s what happens when you lose a world war that you pretty much started. Twice they did it to themselves. They deserve everything they got!

Hence Republicans Senators move to ban teaching about Slavery in public schools.

Wait - let me write that down.

@@paulhunter1525 And where is that being done? As a teacher I can tell you that's not even close to the truth in any school system. You have a twisted view of what conservatives are trying to prevent, and likley a twisted view of much else.

@@paulhunter1525 Nice try!!

Much like Donald Trump.

20000-30000 german soldiers were officially executed because of refusing orders. Hearing BBC was a heavy crime.

@@oliverharris7366 How so ?

This is a fiction that Americans have foisted on the world to rehabilitate the German people and justify going back on their word with the Russians. Hitler did nothing other than lead a party that represented the German people.

@@oliverharris7366 there's no hyperinflation and we didn't just leave a worldwide war. This a dumb comparison

The Propaganda from Radio and Newspapers...and the restrictions put upon both caused the people to be misled.

The risk for either a Communist or Fascist government does exist for the US at this time. It does not have much to do with Trump per say, but more to do with decades of economic stagnation and lack of opportunity for the common person. At this point in time, we are quite vulnerable to going either way and neither will have a great outcome. It could be a rough ride indeed and you are unfortunately right in this case.

@@thegraphicw Fight for democracy but without weapons. Freedom of opinion and negotiation. Learn from mistakes.

@@susannabonke8552 Will we ever learn from our mistakes?

*WILL

Hitler thought strategically well at the end of the war, and he simply forgave the British troops in the hope of sharing the world with the British. This is clearly stated in the video.

The American poor are the poorest in the first world, neoliberalism has been very bad for wages in the last 30 years. yea it's not as bad as the depression but there are economic issues.

But now, I think tweaked news about our "great" economic gains will transfix the boobs who fell for the rhetoric in the first place. It gives everyone hope that they too can become wealthy. And their economic conditions is not their fault in any way. And the consistent race baiting, blaming of certain groups, encouraging hatred, etc. keeps everyone so busy fighting each other that the powerful just step right in . And calling people with education "elites" who shouldn't be trusted, appeals to people who lack the skills to distinguish between what is real and what is not. And makes them feel empowered. Yet when in power, the last people who count are the same people who voted for these candidates in the first place. And Americans have always been entranced with wealth. If so and so got rich, so can I! This is America! And yes, people can better themselves. But the vast wealth they are seeing in the powerful was almost always generations in the making and inherited. Or stolen (conned), or made by stomping over people just like the boobs falling for the rhetoric. Personally I think the greed and stupidity and lack of critical thinking skills have made us doomed. Combine that with insane celebrity idealization and willful ignorance Americans are demonstrating makes us double doomed. We aren't the only country like this, but I can only speak to what I see. TLDR: Its our fault. We got what the greedy and powerful paid for. It's going to get worse before (IF) it improves. I'm glad my only child says he isn't going to have kids. Don't get me started on election issues and the legitimacy of the winners. I'm from FL and I live in TX. Voting is a farce. We are doomed.

We have an economic crash in slow-motion since 2007. Maybe since 9/11.

@@ghost-ez2zn Ditto your sentiments; you sound about my age and I understand these thoughts. Just can't figure out why its easy for some of us to see and not all ~ except to say that it IS LIKELY the result of people 'escaping with' or being addicted to and aspiring to "entertainment" and the wish for the same obscene money it brings to actors, anchors and athletes. For the life of me, I can't figure out how people "buy" that "reality TV" is reality when every single person in the show is being filmed. The other devastation to American psyche and why people "believe" stardom "could" happen to them in some kind of 15 minutes of fame moment is due to the weird and also obscene financial success of the Kardashian & Hilton types of America who are not actors. It is a crying shame...and very scary. I have three kids only one of which is having kids. I love them and worry for their future, for sure. The people are kept so busy chasing mortgage/rent/food/activities & basic life necessities they do not have time to even watch documentaries like this...so they do not see the writing on the walls. Again, scary. I wish we were neighbors...at least I'd have someone to discuss this with. Most don't see it.

@@maggiemargaret1412 Just look back in time to the fall of Rome. " give them bread and circuses ". Western civilization is in very real danger of collapse and yet most will not notice, blinded by T.V. and sport, or as i call it the cult of celebrity. It has largely replaced church for most. I am in no way a religious man, but i would rather they worshiped some god than worship these false idols. We have time still, but we must educate the youth, and they must know about the mistakes we as a species have made in the past.

Maybe he was a communist.

I feel like that is a very unique opinion among Americans who fought in the pacific including the general treatment of POW's and civilians by the japanese would be considered evil by even by the Germans. I think you should talk about this story, each and every on is unique.

The Japanese Imperial Army were as brutal if not more than the Nazis.

L Karamazov Fuck off Nazi, nobody wants your bs.

My grandpa was born in 39, half his brothers went in ww2. The other half Korea. He worked as a mason starting at 16. Wer'e from the Cleveland area, so he worked with a lot of Polish guys after the war. He said They hated the Soviets for what they did more than the Germans. His brother was a liberator of Dachau. This isn't taking any sides, I'm just trying to share prospective from my first hand source. His oldest brother drove a Higgins on D day. None of them were a fan of Hitler.

My team and I made this documentary. I have made more than 175 documentaries for television in my day. They mostly have a similar style. One that I was one of the folks who created way back in the 1970s. Thank you for your compliment. David Hoffman filmmaker

The rights points they harp on: 1.) Trump is a racist 2.) Trump cheated in election and must be impeached 3.) Blacks are oppressed and must rebel and demand better (not equal) treatment

Excellent observation, mein fuher!

@@virsapiensfortisest922you see the irony here? It’s trump with his. Slogans

peter west The story is the same, human nature, emotion over intelligence. Karl Marx was one who identified and labeled it as a social problem requiring a social remedy. Post Feudalism a growing Middle Class, the worker had to be dealt with by control to prevent him from being not poor, but never gainful. Satisfaction through mediocrity. This only works for a short time with humans.We don’t always show it, but humans are intelligent as well as emotional beings. Improper or poor education allow emotions to distort rational. History teaches that fear is the dominate emotion requiring control.

@Hank E. however rotten it is. Those men know alot about human nature. I think we should learn them too. Just cos u aren't trying to take advantage of people doesn't mean people aren't gonna take advantage of u

lauren decruz I think we almost did,

More like those who just ignore it.

@naz ratt granted but how far back does one really have to go ..😂

You mean from the narrative if the helmet fit he'll wear it...😒

Which ones? From France?

Too far back, besides it is easier to blame the guy with the knife 😒

Your point is only partially true - the political failures do go back to the roots of WWI, then to the terrible Versailles Contract and of course the 1929 global financial & economic mess.

@@h.u.schubert3740. The 1920s was a big upsurge in KKK (fascism?) numbers in the USA. Funny when you consider it was supposedly a boom time. Also it was a time of union organization and hard times on the WW1 vets. A lot of the same seeds as Germany had.

It wasn't so much the politicians as the unforgiving nature of capitalism. It's easy to forget how new the system is, it seems like it's been around forever. The bust of the 30s was a direct result of the boom of the 20s. Regulations were very minimal, if anything. The stock market was a fantasy land, until reality inevitability caught up with it.

Kleptocracy, not democracy.

Our problem in the Western Culture is the love of money overpowers democracy and all other moral principles. Organized profit-making is too powerful without stronger containment. Like an early rocket design that is out of control, we the people need to control its power.

@Amber Baskin You're lost and under estimate how easily people go for their own desires. You can't be great without people.

"A Republic, as long as you can keep it." - B Franklin We are not a democracy.

It's because a person at their core is very self-centered. They will turn in their neighbor if they see that they will get more money, more stuff, more privileges, etc etc etc. It gives them a sense of superiority and power that most people are lacking in their personal lives.....

I thought that was a lazy quote.

Agreed. I was just about to write the same... other than the first 3 minutes of the video, which was telling.

Furthermore, the proposition that Hitler extended an olive branch to Britain, in some sort of authentic gesture of brotherhood, is hogwash. Consider Hitler's other grand promises. This film is far more misleading than it appears on its face. You have to put it in context. The interviewees are spinning their stories to sanitize what they can.

@@AMorgan57 To be fair, a lot of those guys were serving in Germany's armed forces at the time and I found their perspectives to be quite interesting simply because we often do not get to hear their thoughts on these matters. I can handle the bias, it is good to hear the German perspective.

@Pat Mynuts You say that the left is like Hitler and the left compares Trump to Hitler. Guess we will see if either side or neither side is right...

@Pat Mynuts If you ever wonder why Germany followed Hitler, look in the mirror. Your opinion is fully the product of propaganda.

the brainwashing was vary intence it changed there DNA

@@cosuinofdeath “rainbow lights canceled guys A leader speaks that leader cries”

It’s a good point. But I find that people who are followers often have something broken within. That’s why they throw away reason out the window the minute an opportunity presents itself. That’s what is happening today.

Yea they are like super sheep now

Yeah... use the mainstream propaganda and win the people. Who is using the mainstream now? Think about it...

One of the more lucid and well stated comments I have read in some time. Thank you.

Love it, thanks for that.

All true but the country was absolutely bankrupt with no future is easy to sell anything we are doing the same in Europe again history May repeat itself

And don't forget the infiltration of the "old Prussian evangelical church" Germany was a bastion of Protestantism and these folks were lulled asleep and deceived in the greatest of ways...except those like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his contemporaries

No excuse is ever good enough to try an eradicate experiment on imprison and torture people because they were "inferior". They should have just sought to break the treaty peacefully...Or break the treaty which was old by then anyway and see if anyone had the balls to do anything about it. I doubt most Germans supported the cruelty of Hitler... However the united states is decidedly cruel also which makes me think we may end up attacked....evil tends to become eradicated

I don't know where you are from but I'll assume USA for the next example . So you are american and you don't have any worries as an born american in usa ..Suddenly, trump gives the law that all the Mexicans in the usa will be taken to camps and if any of you born Americans will try to stop you will be taken there too. The army follows what he says and you have no power. Tell me now , would you help by putting your life , your family, your kids to the risk ? Well maybe in 2020 yes where the information goes fast and other people come to help and organise a biggggg revolution. But not in 1933 , where the only information came after at least 24 hours or from mouth to mouth. Stop blaming the German folk from back then , not all of them where nazi

Just like now, our old people are disappearing, and nobody seems to care, as long as they blame it on a birus. Same altitude.

@@Vonavi It's not far off that now.

@@Vonavi you can't compare the Holocaust to US illegal immigration! And Trump is no Hilter! Sorry, the Germans followed a crazy man! But I do believe that they have learnt from WW2.

Some Germans told on their neighbours, simply because they didn't like them! Such people would make up stories of their neighbours engaging in "anti-German" behaviour such as speaking ill of Hitler and tell this to a Gestapo Officer. The neighbours would be sent off to concentration camps (or worse), often never to be seen again...

I think separating children from their parents at the border was cruel. But, most of the so called “pro-lifers” remained silent.

Maybe we just don't get on !! ??😿😿😿

Wait and see the reactions to forced vaccines..and then shipping your friends and family’s off to camps. ‘For your safety and protection’ there is always a final solution for mad men...and brainwashed people who subjugate themselves.

Propaganda is THAT powerful. Hitler used the media to dehumanize the Jews. That kind of brainwashing makes humans think it’s okay to harm people “for the greater good”. Always watch out for that phrase. Countless atrocities in history have been justified using that mentality. As others have noted, the media and Dems calling Trump supporters “deplorable” and constantly calling them the enemy has made people who hate Trump attack Trump supporters. They call them Nazis while physically assaulting them for supporting Trump. That is what we have now. That is how that happens.

@@crystalbluepersuasion1027 did you think it was cruel when Obama did it?

I think that the people at the time needed someone to blame for everything that was going wrong economically and hitler gave them someone to blame.

Read "Into That Darkness", Gita Sereny, the investigation into the contamination of the human moral center. Franz Stangl was Kommandant of Sorbibor and Treblinka where he oversaw the extermination of 1.2 million souls. Ms Sereny interviews Herr Stengl in 1971 delving into the very reasoning behind the nature of mass evil but comes away feeling Stangl is nothing but unremarkable, and concludes any man can be consumed with evil in times of madness. What Ms Sereny neglects to touch on is the seemingly innate human predisposition towards racism and it's normalization within the human mind. The most normal, simple, kind, good natured, highly educated person can possess a programming of "difference" acquired at some point in their life which once unconsciously enabled, and then emboldened by the masses, organized by group action, blinds whole societies as in Germany, Russia, Africa, Syria, (including the 400 yrs of slavery in the USA)..etc with the normalization of prejudice, hatred and actualized racism. The normalization and resulting complacency of evil is the result of the unaware denial of unconscious racism. Racism is a seed thru which evil manifests. In this case by 1920, decades of anti antisemitism conditioned the German populace. By 1845 the southern United States had for 250 years believed the ownership, domination and servitude of an entire race of people was "normal". Prevalent today in some form, in most societies, open discussion is imperative to keep the evolution of consciousness in motion.

Up to a few years ago, i've also wandered about how this could happen.
