Rediscovering Berlin's Nazi eagles with Nick Jackson 

The modern obese German eagle is a joke. It does look like a chicken!

World war 2 eagle looks much better then the new eagle.

The German Eagle is such a wonderful symbol!!! Just because the Nazis used it, doesn't mean that the eagle shouldn't be desplayed. The Eagle predates the Nazis by hundreds of years. Long live the German Eagle!!!

Fascinating!!! History should not be air brushed . It needs to be seen warts and all.

Some of those Are magnificent..cheers

Removing history has moved on to the UK Canada USA

I want all of them in my backyard it would look great and I promise to take care of them forever 🇩🇪

I still dont understand why they demolished so many buildings after the war. A crime.

American say " the darkness years of Germany or Berlin." But for the Germans of that time they say " the happy years " or " the best years ". Like General Patton said " We fought with the wrong enemy ".

Thank you Grand Germany for my W 163 , accordion " Firotti" , radio Grundig concert boy 1000 , and lips harmonic "Нohner "...I Love Germany ...Salute from Vladivostok !!!

normally for a city this large i'd expect to see more left over. but considering germany's treatment of nazi/imperial symbolism today, i'm honestly kinda shocked to see so many still standing. interesting video!

We have a lot of other problems in Germany today than chasing " Nazi eagles".

you say nazi eagles ? some of your eagles were used long before the nazi's came..

Very beautiful simbol...! Great Germany...! Long Life for the people of Germany...! From Santa Catarina, Brazil...!

The flame that burns twice as brightly only burns half as long! History is always written by the victors!

If the "great powers" of Europe didn't impose such draconian measures on Germany after WW-1, the Treaty of Versailles. A treaty that wouldn't allow Germany to become prosperous again to be self sufficient. There would have been no WW-2. And some failed artist from Austria would have lived a life of constant misfortune. This was the very reason for the American Marshall Plan for various affected European countries and Japan. Treat people with respect to stop all the animosity.

no points for guessing what is underneath that number "48". That is a magnificent eagle by the way.

"His eagle symbolises the start of Germany's grasp at world power from 1914, leading to 31 dark years, 12 under Nazi control". What do you think Great Britain had been doing for the previous 200 years, playing tiddly winks?

I'm sick and tired of continuously relating Germany to the nazis. Germany is a very old country (even if not by name and land borders). There's so much more to know about it!

Nation rising is superb! 6:34

i love your channel brings back so many memories

Lovely work. Thank you.

When Art Deco met Goth.

I cant understand why they demolished them.the Reichsadler has nothing to do with nazism .ruin them is just stupid and idiot

I was very happy to see the intelligent references to the Eagle.Thank you all for your comments and cutting out the B S !

Really interesting, I bet you had fun researching these! Looking forward to finding out where more eagles are located!

The eagle is a beutiful symbol. No matter who presents it.

History will always shine back and will become as even more popular as before. One example is history of ancient Egypt - about so called "forbidden pharaoh" known as Akhenaton... They've too tried to erase his memory, statues. but today Akhenaton is most important pharaoh, among Nefertiti as his wife...

Love it!

MANY nations of the world have the Eagle as a symbol of their country, not just the Germans. For example, Mexico, has as its symbol that famous symbol of the Eagle, killing a snake on its nation flag.

i dont see anything wrong its hostory

Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪

why is the title rediscovering Berlin's nazi eagles? and not german eagles?

Beautiful video. Long may the Eagle live!

Dark past...lol...this crazy world of today, THATS what THEY tried to stop. There will come a day when all those eagles will be restored.

After they defeated Varus's three Roman Legions in the Teutoburg Forest, the Germans "came to rightfully own" a piece of the Eagle 🦅 legacy that previously proclaimed the greatness of Rome and its Legions. Hail Arminius!!! ⚔️

Sad to see the demise of a great nation, thingsxwill change ,it goes in cycles, the new Germany is also a shambles

very cool video!!

Outstanding!

very interesting video

What is the music ?

So Cool

There’s a huge eagle overlooking the courtyard of the Markissches museum in Mitte district.

Beautiful

I was an Army Spec 4 in the early 1980s, living in what was then "Gibbs Kaserne" (Gibbs Barracks). There was a very large eagle on one of the old, modified German barracks buildings. It also had the circular area containing the hakenkreuz (swastika) chiseled off. They didn't care to get rid of the entire sculpture - as it might be called into service again one day. The swastika chisels off easily, and probably can be reinstalled with equal ease.

Awesome

I remember my school having an eagle back at it's court. The Hugo-Gaudig at Tempelhof.

Greetings from Spandau, never noticed those

Wo todavia siguen los recuerdos de esas épocas

History is only written by the winners not by truth

wonderful thank you very much it must have taken you ages to find them

Scheinbar seit ihr Amerikaner oder Engländer immer noch sehr fasziniert von unserer traurigen Vergangenheit. ABER wir Deutschen haben mehr zu bieten als nur die schreckliche nationalsozialistische Vergangenheit. Hoffe das auch ihr daraus gelernt habt. Ich denke wir sind ein freundliches Land mit VOR UND NACHTEILEN und haben derzeit andere Probleme. Bin gerne bereit jeden der denkt wir wären NAZIS hier in Deutschland das Gegenteil zu beweisen, wenn er hier Urlaub macht. Liebe Grüsse aus Köln.

Eagles seems to be very similar to the US Federal Reserve Bank!

Napoleon's eagles outshine Germany's.

I have seen the eagle on Olympics site Berlin

[IDA'S NEPHEW] What dramatic background music! The sadness of a lost and now totally lost country.

many eagles in Invalinden cemetery

Magnetismo puro ⚡

The one from Charlottenburg Finanzamt is red hot.

The very same eagle I have on my Dr Fritz Todt honor badge, still clutching the swastika within the round gear tooth symbol of industry. It was taken from a surrendering kraut whose name is etched on the back along with #43. ...or is it #34?

I'm surprised you missed the tempelhof airport eagles. Perhaps they're not there anymore. When I was in Berlin, they were huge reliefs on the sides of the buildings....swastika removed of course lol

Germany is really sad now, like a novel, afraid of unspeakable names, and the entire government is incompetent.

Greetings from Berlin ✌️ I know them all...👍

The three beams of the Allianz insurance also resembles the imperial eagle

Post modern Eagles based upon the ancient Roman model

For that sign with the 48 below it at one point in time there was a nazi symbol there before 1945 I seen it somewhere in a documentary

Never forget. Greetings from Poland.

Most beautiful eagle to me 👌

It's history...leave it alone.

the oldest eagle symbol blongs to persian empire

Remember what was done by the Americans and Russians in Berlin. Good video. 👍🏻

Why are some eagles heads facing left but some face right? Danke

The dark years are now, not in the past🤷🏻‍♂️

The Post office in Dubuque, Iowa USA has eagles that to closely look like 1939 Eagles you have to look twice as to just WHO put them there.

We also call it the „Pleitegeier“. It means „Broke Vulture“.

Such a powerful symbol

So what's the point?

Where is that egale head now

German may have lost the war, but the war never lost Germany, 😎

I remember on my first time to Berlin driving by the Nazi eagle at Finanzampt Charlottenburg from the airport and thinking that maybe the city wasn't as de-Nazified as I thought haha. I tried for a long time to try and find where that eagle was, after all this time I can say it's fitting that it's a tax office.

I always thought it was a nice bit of symbolism that the german eagle remains and stands proud without the nazi symbols in its talons to show that it had outlived them

Amazing. As you highlighted these 18 months ago it wouldn't surprise me if "Mutti Merkel" didn't have them all removed as her parting "Gift" to the nation.

... and American president has eagle in his office.

History needs to be kept in place, and taught. Even though in todays standards it’s a very dark, and embarrassing time in German history. It’s important to teach about it, so it’s not repeated in the future. If you just try to cover it up, and erase it, future generations won’t learn from it, and learn to not repeat it. Also if you look hard enough throughout Germany, a lot of Nazism is still left. They can’t get rid of it all, there’s even flak towers still standing today. There’s bunkers still in existence, there’s lots of Nazi architectural buildings still left, the Bundeswehr HQ, is actually in the former SS HQ, which was a Nazi Architectural designed building. The Reichstag is now the German government building. So pretty much, some of it here to stay well into the future.

There are some in this world that won't be satisfied until all of the eagles are removed and fairies are erected in their place.

There is a Nazi eagle at a museum in my area. Its at the National Air Force Museum and is in the WW2 section. Next to it is a bust of Hitler with bullet holes in it tipped on its side.

The eagle is a german sign. But the direction it looks must be corrected

The modern day eagle looks way better. I mean there are a few versions which are ugly but most of them look really beautiful!

Germany, Russia, Serbia, Albania, Seljukids etc. Or maybe Egypt too. Byzantian eagle is the common thing in all those states.

Is the bird in the Reichstag really meant to be an eagle? To the uninformed observer, it has certainly more in common with an obese chicken that is more in line with post war German national identity.

Als Berliner hab ich die meistens schon selbst entdeckt. Schade ich dacht ich find hier noch paar Geheimtipps

None of those eagles look very friendly at all.

An eagle without svastika,is not a nazi eagle

Nazi eagle is part of the rothschilds coat of arms. It is the same one American uses. The eagle symbolizes the family of Dan in the bible.

That design was better

I like the imperial flag and eagle more than the boring tricolor one and WW2 eagle is great too. Just don't use swastikas. Germans need to be proud of their culture and history and own the bad like we have to own slavery in the US.

Funnily enough Berlin sorroundings are full of crows

00:27 Today's Germany: the men wear earings, and the women are tatooed. 🤦🏽‍

Don't sad because it's gone Smile because it's happen 😎😎😎

If you clense history to much the lessons are forgotten and it gets repeated again which is a known human pattern of behaviour
