Lies again? Nazri Germany Beautiful America

That is just a historical myth, its the same kind of absurd myth as "Hitler killed everyone without blonde hair and blue eyes". Just look at Vichy France which was a Nazi puppet state, German was not the official language and the citizens spoke French. If Britain capitulated to the Nazi state English would still remain as the official and commonly spoken language

I still think that it is easy to forget, and difficult to put ourselves into the mindset, of people (Europeans rather than Americans perhaps) between the two world wars. In that period post-war euphoria (The Roaring Twenties) contrasted with personal and familial loss, social and physical displacement on a massive scale. Visit any churchyard in Britain to see memorials covered with lists of names of those who never came back from "The War to End All Wars". Those who did saw the old order of things, apparently collapse into chaos as national borders were redrawn, populations displaced and old certainties questioned endlessly. They no doubt shared with Wilfred Owen the certainty that the old maxim "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" was, when it came to the reality of the thing, just an empty succession of syllables which had no relation whatsoever to modern warfare. (An earlier example of the trauma which the Vietnam War revealed to Americans brought up on the idea that John (Marion) Wayne could take a bullet yet continue to swagger around!) Probably in those circumstances a 'strong man' offering cloud cuckoo land solutions is attractive whatever your place in the social order. Hope is the last small thing left in Pandora's emptied box. PS Amery was, it seems, just another amoral, arrogant and opportunist member of a very privileged class who was devoid of moral judgement,

@Guttural Tuttle you've just spammed this vids with edgy comments haven't you. You're so cool. How can I be as cool as you?

Lol which one? I remember there being a photo of the deceased Queen Elizabeth making a Nazi salute. Then there was also King Edward/Duke of Windsor, whom I believe abdicated to marry an American.

@@paulfrank9047 Think you are way off on the first one.(She was probably reaching up to pat one of her horses). The Queen Mother hated Wallis SImpson as she believed (rightly I suspect) that by persuading her brother-in-law to abdicate and thrusting her husband into the role of monarch she hastened his death. Edward does seem to have been totally unsuited to the role of King. But like making a third rate New York property developer President of the US!

America had its Nazi sympathizers too. Some companies were sanctioned for helping Nazis. One of those companies was run by George Bush Sr. I believe. We have a lot of German heritage, back then many were within a generation or two from immigration to America, so they spoke the language. Britain had many Germans in your own Royal family.

Truth is Hitler reached out to England on so many occasions fir peace..the last which was rudolf Hess flight...but the powerful interests that controlled Churchill (focus group) wanted war because Germany developed an economic system that was way ahead of its time and threatened the the debt driven system that the western world finds itself under tiday ...as Churchill said himself “ Germany’s unforgivable crime before ww2 was to extricate itself from the international money exchange thereby denying international finance the chance to profit”...Germany knew the threat of the Jewish bolsheviks and did its best to shelter Germany and the rest of Europe from it..unfortunately after America entered ww2 that had no hope of achieving that ..

So, that is why John F. got the bullet then? Peace be unto you.

I THINK NAZIS IS NOT COMPLETE DISAPPEARED STILL ERE IN LOVELY LAW PART OF PRESENT GOVERNMENT

Guess Nancy Astor was a very enlightened woman. She was right after all. Just take a look at England now...

Yes unfortunately America pollutes

Although in that episode... SPOILER ALERT...SPOILER ALERT... the Amery character was not guilty.

"The Hide." The reason I love "Foyle's War." Most episodes have a WWII history lesson.

Are you thinking of "The Hide"? Or that one where Laurence Fox plays a Nazi-sympathizer?

@@suzylovesmambo I think "The Hide" It was the one about the son that witnessed his abusive father murder his mother as a child and never resolved the matter. His public trial in Britian for being in the Nazi "Free Corps" was a kind of revenge against the prominent father.

You aren’t kidding

I like how the video isn’t about Edward VIII you still have to include him…if you do your research properly then you’d understand why he did what he done, instead you’d rather just be ignorant to the truth

@@Luke_-_ there is no justification for nazi anything. Anyone who thought hitler “ was on to something “ with his ethnic cleansing He also gets mentioned because Britain does not have clean hands when it comes to handling hitler No debate; conversationa

@@Luke_-_ We understand perfectly well what he did what he did. He was a nazi sympathiser, anti-semite and wanted Britain bombed. We don't have to sugar coat it and pretend otherwise.

@@pastyannoconnell5706 ?

Yet you have a Ukrainian flag a place where Nazis are killing civilliains.

And there forever will be.

Plenty in the aristocracy felt that way. And plenty still do. And they’ve now discovered that by culture warring, they can get the plebs to vote for them.

It's been that way since the British empire. Y'all are not so different to Adolf.

But the British Empire did'nt take genocide against white people. I think that's very important, to understand that shock-effect after the war just ended.

The queen’s husband did

Britain traditionally disliked France, rather than Germany. There were fascist movements in European countries and their colonies (like Australia where I'm from); so they were some in all those countries advocating an alliance with Germany.

Don't forget which class Winston Spencer Churchill came from...

More than anyone really wants to admit

It would be great , but no

No normal person would choose to be a hangman.

The Nazis deserved that though.

@A1Kira Did what better?

@A1Kira You are losing me here somewhere, Are you saying that the American did a better job of botching executions? As I understand it, the Americans after the Nuremburg Trials insisted on having their own executioner share in the business of dispatching the Nazis convicted of war crimes but the man they selected had no experience of hanging as a method of execution having only used the electric chair. Pierrepoint was the third in his family to be an executioner (after his father and his Uncle Tom) and says, or at least claims, that he saw the process as a craft which he had mastered, and his function as providing a method by which the despatch of the condemned prisoner in accordance with the sentence handed down by the courts of law should be as efficient and humane as was possible and carried out in a manner which caused the least possible distress to all involved, including the prisoner. The whole process, from entering the condemned cell to the prisoner being dead in the execution cell would occur in the time that it took for the prison clock to strike eight.

@A1Kira Interesting moral question here which goes to heart of the whole Nuremburg trials event. Extending the courtesy of a legal trial to mass murderers was seen as a way to maintain a superior moral standpoint. This extends also to the method of execution following a guilty verdict. To condemn them to a slow death on piano wire would be to sink to their level. Pierrepoint says that he extended to these criminals the same treatment as he extended to others. At the end of his career, which seems to have ended as the result of a squabble with the Home Office (his employers) over expenses, he would not give an exact number of executions he had carried out as he said that was a private matter. He merely said it was 'some hundreds'. He also said that at the end of his time he had come to the belief that in his opinion carrying out the death penalty had not prevented a single murder but had merely represented society taking revenge upon those it condemned to death.

"Blame him" for what, pray tell?

Believe it or not these werent people basking in their own evilness. They were simply arrogant people who thought they knew what was best. Sound familiar? Not at all unlike todays leftwing virtue mob who think they have the perfect human morality now and foever. In 50-100 years people will not look back on their "evil" kindly either.

Her husband has a nazi connection . His own sister married a nazi so makes you wonder what his beliefs were

I think many in the royal family had sympathy with the Nazis. King Edward, for instance, was sent to the Bahamas in a attempt to make him irrelevant/avoid embarrassment..

At the time there were a lot of fascists in the Royal Family but fortunately most of them apart from related ones like (sir) Oswald Mosley and his black shirts were kept out of the sphere of influence.

@@olgierdogden4742 lmao people always forget where do you think the Nazis learned all their crazy theories and racism from? They didn’t come from a vacuum 😂. From the their *of course* German scientists and philosophers, British philosophers and scientists, French philosophers and scientists and American philosophers and scientists 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@MohamedShou whereas you learned your fascism where?

Typical BBC putting a negative slant on Uncle Albert!

And a fine publican, by all accounts.

@@ClarinoI Popular with coach parties so I understand.

Efficient and Celebrated would be more appropriate. Check out the excellent film "Pierrepoint", starring the fine actor Tim Spall.

You are so savvy...I am impressed by your comment.

Schiff only funded Kerensky's provisional government and immediately stopped approving loans to Russia when the Bolsheviks ousted it

Fck queen and Churchill

@dhakishang9640There you go projecting your racism and insecurity all over the comment section. Tsk tsk tsk.

"Well, Mr Amery, that's very interesting and very nice, but you are in Germany, when your country is at war with Germany - and most of the countries of Europe - then aren't you a traitor?" Well, my good friends: only history will be able to judge whether I am a traitor or not. - John Amery, 1944 He wanted to stop a great brother war, wanted Europeans to get up and fight for our civilisation and fight Bolshevism, and because he was concerned about Defence Regulation 18B being a descent into tyranny. Is that so treasonous?

He resisted against Bolshevism

@@y_ffordd Gosh, you really know a lot about him. Don't you.

Today's terrorist is tomorrow's freedom fighter. But only if they are on the winning side. Things are rarely as black and white as they seem, and the creation myths of nation states are drummed into populations. Mythic national heroes are invented and a false narrative preached as something which belongs to 'us', to evoke a pretence of unity. Putin is trying to do this with Russia, ignoring the fact that Ukraine was for far longer under the sway of the Lithuanian and nordic states than it was of the USSR. The US does it in spades, and England has promoted the most unlikely people to be national heroes with a unifying brief (Robin Hood, Richard the Lionfart(he used to eat a lot of meat and very few vegetables), Hereward the Wake - known in his own time as Hereward the Exile, etc etc

I mean to be fair he hadn't committed any crimes, they were just (rightly) suspicious he'd collaborate with the nazis. So while it may have been for the greater good to keep him locked up during the war, it wouldn't exactly be fair to mistreat the man. Once you start throwing people in gulags for their political leanings, you're no better than the nazis

Mosley, Churchill's, Holloway. Proper nouns.

@Dhaki Shang tell me again when you sober up

Wodehouse’s broadcasts were not really political and he never professed support for Nazis/Fascists. Big difference.

@@99somerville Not really. Germany was an enemy state and Wodehouse chose to make broadcasts for them. He was an employee of Nazi Germany at a time of war. Moreover when Germany invaded France Wodehouse refused to leave stating his dog Mungo was ill and so ended up in Berlin.. You must either be ill informed or disingenuous ...

Jews don't believe in communism they believe in capitalism. For Hitler they believed in capitalism so much that he wanted to kill them

Marx was a Jew. His family were even married to the Rothschild family. Other very prominent Jews. Lenin was rumoured to be Jewish. Trotsky was a full Jew. 75% of the cheka secret police were Jewish. 80% of the original Soviet government were Jewish. So yeah, pretty much a Jewish movement, hardly a secret yet we're expected to not notice it. It like how we're repeatedly told that Stalin purged the Jews but if we dare mention that Jews were there before the purge, well it's anti-Semitic. We're meant to believe the Jews only exist when they're being persecuted.

Anti-Jewish paranoia. Get over it. Stalin 'loved' Jews so much he actively encouraged them to leave the USSR altogether.

@@nobbynoris no paranoia, just fact. How could Stalin have purged the Jews if the Jews weren't there in the first place?

@@nobbynoris Offended, rabbi?

And it was very very Jewish

Well German occupation didn't really go well for them after that

Amery had been bribed like Churchill.

@Arbane's Sword of Agility Not sure what point you are making. I do not know the name Leuchter but suspect him to be American. I do know that Albert Pierrepoint, the third Number One Executioner of that name, was disgusted and horrified by the performance of the American executioner after the Nuremburg Trials who used the 'cowboy' knotted noose which resulted in strangulation of the condemned men and women, whereas Pierrepoint's use of the calculated drop and British 'hooked' noose meant that the neck of the condemned person was instantly broken, whereas the American executioner was having to replace a blood stained noose at frequent intervals following strangulation. I understand that the American executioner was inexperienced with any method but the chair. Who was this Leuchter?

@Pangur Ban lol I’ve heard plenty of stories throughout history of people before being executed being “brave”. And tbh when Emery got hanged he got hanged in the most “humane way” possible, so I wouldn’t call that being “brave”. If this was a 1000 years ago where treason had a much more horrific punishment let’s see how brave he is then 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@MohamedShou Are you obsessed with trying to prove people wrong ! Dosen't matter whether it was a beheading by axe in Mediavel times or a more humane hanging in the 20th Century, the fear the condemned person felt would be exactly the same ! Just a suggestion, but instead of throwing theories about by different Western people, tell us about the people & their attitudes in the country of your ancestor's, so that we can see any similarities or differences !

@Pangur Ban Amery.

@@MohamedShou Amery

Also called appeasors.

@@TheSaltydog07 I think you're too kind, on it's own that'd suggest political expediency. I believe it's simply a shared ideology of superiority to those who are seen lesser.

Not true. His case was exceptional. If you could draw up a list of all of them, it would be very short.

No Alberto , Lord haw haw was William joyce another guy who thought he had picked the winning side . It ended badly for him also .

Amery was also not an aristocrat. You might think the BBC would know the definition of a "British aristocrat," but no.

How can you even type the words "instead of pandering to them" when looking at the state of our country? We are absolutely flooded with migrants and asylum seekers, hate speech can lead to imprisonment, and most major companies have diversity hire quotas. In what world does our government pander to the far right? Myself and many others could only dream of such a thing.

We have record numbers of legal and illegal immigrants and our prime minister and home secretary are from the Indian subcontinent. What on earth are you on about?

@Dhaki Shang Yep, all leftists in a nutshell. They have serious issues as a whole

@dhakishang9640Based on your comment history you should be placed on a watch list quite frankly.

Same as for the brits . YES , while fighting the Nazi the Brits were oppressing the people they have colonized in Africa, Australia , India etc

@@9grand every people has oppressed another people at some point before they weren’t persuaded or forced out of it. Going back millennia on every inhabited continent.

No infamous is the correct word.

Dont ever equate this hero to that demon
