Judging by current events the world has not moved on one day or learned a single lesson from this vile chapter in history..scary times ahead if our so called leaders don't change their ways.

This channel alone has taught me more than my history teachers ever did

"New York sneezed, London caught cold, and Germany nearly died of Influenza" that is accurate enough!

Thank you and apologies to the viewers who highlighted the breaks in the video. RU-vid have finished processing the updated version and these have been removed.

This is not about Hitler's inner circle really. To me the title is misleading.

maybe i wasnt paying attention, but did they have a closer look at hitlers inner cicrle?

Hearing the Scotsman pronunciation of German words is 90% of my enjoyment from this series.

That photo of the SS gathered together on the stairs is quite chilling. Heydrich is about three rows back looking every inch as ruthless and calculating as you might imagine.

Ummmm am I the only one lost I though this was a video hitlers inner circle not a amuck simplified doc on the nazis rise to power. I call clickbait

This is great but the title is wildly misleading. I clicked this thinking its was about Himmler, Goering, Hess, Bormann, Goebles, Speer. You know, the inner circle

We are at the brink of losing the generation that fought in WWII... that cuts deep. So much of History, their stories, all, will die with them... This is so surreal. Yet, we're living in a time where actually people who fought in it, actually are still alive.

This had absolutely nothing to do with Hitler's inner circle. You should rename the title of this video.

And the award for editing goes to... someone else.

I can only imagine the joy Jesse Owens felt for that short time. Then he comes home to be called the N word and disrespected. 😔

The actor that plays Himler in "The DownFall" looks so much like him

This channel taught me 100x more about history than the history books ever will .

It is fascinating the Second World War can have so many Documentaries because there is just so much rich history to be looked at.

Been enjoying the Timeline series. Well worth a look if you like History documentaries.

"The first world war turned a nobody into a somebody". We have to share the belief that sees people as "nobodies" and "somebodys", for the statement to make sense. I don't believe that anyone is a nobody. We are all somebody to ourselves and our friends and family aren't we? Calling people "nobodies" is really saying "You're not rich and famous". I may not be interested in trying to be rich or famous, but I am still somebody. Somebody that will not bow to your idols.

I suggest Netflix's documentary of similar name: Hitler's Circle of Evil. While I learned some new information from this documentary and I think first-hand accounts by people who lived in the times is massively important, it in no way gives a decent glimpse into it and the Netflix documentary is far more in depth and informative.

For those wondering about this video being similar to others, it was broadcast in 2019-20 on PBS as Titans of the 20th Century and was comprised of 6 episodes looking at the major political figures before, during and after WW2.

Very well reasoned and masterfully presented!

So much sounds current today, simply under a different guise.

Great narration and interviews

thanks for the video

It’s great the Hamilton has the only flying Lancaster. Very very cool to hear that beauty fly over couple times a week.

Patton's comments sound more resonating now than ever before

Jesse Owens was treated better in Germany than the country he was competing for in the Olympics. When he was done there, he could come back to America and drink from a separate water fountain. Chew on that.

Is this part of a series? I'd love to watch part two!

28:40 He says that he counted and the Nazis had 150 uniforms. I think Hermann Goering had 150 different uniforms himself.

I like that… New York sneezed, London caught a cold and Germany nearly died of Influenza.

Hind sight is always 20/20 Long knives or crystal night, pay attention, learn, look, see!

Why did the last video get censored but this one didn't? The most baffling thing about the RU-vid algorithms is the inconsistency.

Awesome!!!! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮

Not so fun fact: The German athlete standing with owens at 31:05 was the silver medalist and his competitor in long jump. He also died fighting for Germany during the war

Legend has it, Hitler's inner circle is covered somewhere in this docu.

The most enthusiastic documentary narrator of all time.

FANTASTIC VID, THANKS !!!

Poor editing, what's with all the gaps in the playback?

What would we do without history just love to watch these documentaries on just about anything that's three channel used to be excellent on TV I don't even see it anymore everybody's on RU-vid 💯👍

I noticed a few comments regarding the mini factory at around 5 minutes into the video. Before we are shown that clip, the professor discusses the economic depression and how it affected Germany, and she mentions London and how it was affected, followed by the mini factory

Very informative 👍

Ah the old click-bait, and hope no one noticed trick

As soon as Dan Snow appeared in the cockpit of a Lancaster bomber I turned it off,that was more than enough of his posing for me.

The title and the content were completely different. This is a bait and switch.

2:46 This documentary makes it seem like Germans were just unhappy they had lost WW1, and that it was just about "pride". This might be worth a sidenote, but it is not the key. After 4 years of WW1 Germany, England and France were weakened badly. People didn't even have eough food. In that situation the Versailles treaty dictated Germany a peace agreement that forced Germany to hand over almost all of it's production to France and Britain as reparations for years to come. England and France used these reparations to pay of their debt, that they had taken on for the delivery of weapons that they had recieved from the USA in WW1. So the German polulation was actually SUFFERING of severe poverty.

If we don't learn about the mistakes we made in history,we,ll never perfect them

5:53 are those Austin Mini's on the production line ?( presumably in Germany ) whatever happened the the Volkswagen ?

I saw a picture of a sixties minicar production line in your program.

Episodes: 1. Gradual Beginnings; 2. The Implementation of Terror; and, 3. Death, Destruction, and Legacy.

I got to this video while it was 120,021, I like patterns like that

Himmler meets Goering: Himmler asks: "Well, Herrmann, what did you do yesterday?" Goering: "I washed my car with Joseph (Goebbels) yesterday." Surprised, Himmler asks: OK, how was it?" Goering: Well, Heinrich... After a while I realized that the sponge might have been a better choice after all."

We defeated the wrong enemy - General Patton

Maybe Dan's ancestor told him that, sitting in a Lancaster bomber, he had a 'Look at Hitler's Inner Circle'?

At 05:54, we see a picture of an assembly line not of German cars, but of the Mini, first produced in 1959.

So Germany lost both WW and today after 76 years after the second, it is one of the most powerful in the world. With all the debt it had in the 1st and the 2nd. How did they manage this

In 1933, people thought there was a chance that democracy was not dead. In 2021, people thought there was a chance that democracy was not dead. History repeats.

Good Bless Afternoon Everyone Happy Bless Saturday I Love This Show Thank You You Tube I Love History 💘 My Favorite Subject In School 🏫 ❤

I really like this channel very nice videos 📹

I will never and could never send my parents to elders home. They took care of us when we were young and we are obligated to take cate of them when they need us not strangers who most times abuse them.

Crazy how war helped bring America out of the depression

Awesome. Excellent channel. Great video.

Watched!

If anyone in control of this RU-vid channel can read this: Please stop with the misleading click bait titles, 2 of the 3 people in the thumbnail aren't even mentioned at all. The information in these documentaries is interesting enough without having to resort to this. If you don't have the manpower or willpower to do this, consider me for the position. To demonstrate how easy this would be, if you changed this video's title to "A Closer Look at Hitler's Rise to Absolute Power" you would have a much more accurate title.

Sloppy editing.

i hate documentaries that repeat what happened before the commercial break. people do not forget what they just watched 5 minutes ago.

fascinating!

Can you upload some mediaeval documentaries please

It was indeed a crisis of the Industrial Revolution.

At 32:00 What kind of place is this? Nizi headquarters? Or Hall of Justice. If you played Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, you may seen the same bacground in the court hall?

Thanks!

after seeing this documentary, history is on verge to repeat same but this time in India, though condition and situation is different. I think this will change indian course of history and will roll into right path

Sick how some people can play with other people's lives, and they themselves, utter Cowards. Never fails.🤔🦅🇺🇲🇩🇰

18:45 That is an Amazing Photo. Kurt Daluege, left of Himmler Heydrich on the right on 3rd step. I've never seen this photo, and I've seen them all!

The tragedy of this period is that it can all happen again. That either you or I can become the victim. Never underestimate one persons desire to intimidate and use technology to erase democracies, however well established. Whether it comes from the right or left of the ideological scale is really besides the point. Ideologies are simply means to one end: power.

Is ths the same video as "Germany's Fatal Attraction?" Titled under "A Closer Look at Hilter's circle" I just watched the former and it looks like the same video.

Thank you for all you do to remind us of we ought now not to choose to ever repeat but rather to choose DIFFERENT

this is an excellent watch but something about the sound is very off

Why does this channel keep re-uploading the same 3 videos with different titles? Almost half of this channels WW2 videos are re-made with LITERALLY the SAME interviews with people, which is horrible because you're taking people's comments from other interviews and recycling them into a narrative for your next video

In my opinion only, it's my view that Germany was on the verge of military collapse in WW1 & called for a "Armistice" which is a temporary cessation of hostilities leading to discussion for surrender. The Germans promptly marched home calling it an honorable draw (which was self delusions) & then became indignant when the victors at Versailles imposed harsh economic terms. Tbh everybody wanted an end of the slaughter but how different history of the 20th century would have been if Germany was crushed militarily & forced to sign an unconditional surrender ?

Outstanding program! Only one clarification. The SA "brown shirts" wasn't "the first organization 'costumed' by Hugo Boss." The Brown Shirt 'costuming' came in the '20's, as a result of a large store of Austrian military surplus (1921) brown denim shirts, intended for tropical uniforms in East Africa, being taken over/possessed by the Schill Youth in Germany. The "Schill Sportversand" then became the main supplier for the SA brown shirts. Boss's company did also later produce "brown shirts."

I think maybe there's been made a mistake when someone at Timeline slapped on the title and description for this upload ON this upload. ..maybe the vids got switched around and now there's a vid out there called something like "Propaganda of the third reich: Germany's fatal attraction" and which features a little bit about Goebbles being head of the propaganda ministry and then a whole lot about Göring and Himmler being inner circle henchmen. But always exiting topic, and a fair presentation despite, and as always.

So how was this in any way about "Hitler's Inner Circle?" Is that maybe the title of a series?

Strays somewhat from its claims of focusing on the 'inner circle'....but good, important, powerful stuff nevertheless.

I don't know why that intro reminded me of Inspector Derrick.

I really looking forward for hitler's inner circle interaction, relationship, effort to war and subsequent event's happened that time. But it's a good as a video but that worse as with it's titles.

7:50 they offered everything to anyone. Just vote for us. Sounds familiar.

This is not the documentary I was looking for.

@8:10 where have I heard that before?

Like the Netflix for history 🤣. That cat really likes that one.

The British Central Bank toyed with lending money to Germany. But the British didn't have much to lend. The French refused to lend money to the Germans - even though the French had money to lend. That was the root cause of Germany's problems - they couldn't borrow. So, they bootstrapped a military.

Those Yanks & Brit commentators surely tried their best in order to pronounce German words correctly. Of course, it isn't easy. And yet, "Well done"!

"Make Germany Great Again"---Hmmm, where have I heard that in this era, and what are the consequences thus far? A tongue-in-cheek question.

Thanks

Literally every war is related to money 💰 .

This has nothing to do with hitlers inner circle and all to do with their rise to power and their pre war maneuvers. Misleading title

At 5:54 you can clearly see that Minis were invented in Germany in 1929. So much for historical accuracy, Timeline.

29:45 this guy...what a jump

Anyone wondering how an empty suit surrounded by ambitious sycophants can come to power and cause so much damage, grab some popcorn.
