The youth today and sadly many adults throw terms like "Genocide" and "Facism" around at any argument like its nothing which actually denigrates the actual meanings of these dangerous terms. Wish they taught children like this, great series of history!
Sometimes when someone is called a fascist, it's because they demonstrate the same ideological beliefs. If you ask them, they'd call it patriotism, or Make America Great Again but it's no different. Both are far-right, nationalist/populist, worship/cult of the leader, and hold extremely racist views like "immigrants are poisoning the blood of the nation".
There are one or two series that improve on historical details and facts however I find the payoff is suffering an insidious political bias and so on balance I must say we're not moving forward. #OurHistory
This documentary is incredible. 10/10 I've seen plenty like world war 2 In colour and the apocalypse both world wars but this one takes the win. There's so much information I haven't learned about before. Apsolutely incredible documentary
I love these series. I don't get why they are so heavily censored. Its educational and i think it's something people need to see. Especially since people are so used to peacetime, they don't know how bad those poor soldiers had it. As i face my own mortality, i often winder what it must of been like for those soldiers on the front. Never knowing when a shell can scoop your life from you. Families destroyed over someone's else's battle. So much of those wars was unnecessary and that area is still a hot spot for war and people are just as barbaric. Sad.
seems like a decent series, but absolutely pointless with so many scenes blurred out. Editing history down to be PC friendly is an absolute abomination and a massive insult to all who suffered and died. Anyone know where I can find the unedited series?
It’s not about being PC. It’s about money. RU-vid’s advertisers don’t want to be associated with graphic content so RU-vid highly censors/disincentivizes/ takes down content that’s not deemed to be “advertiser friendly”.
Article 231 of the Versailles Treaty refers to responsibility for the damage caused by warfare, not guilt. The reparations imposed on Germany were financed by loans obtained largely from former adversaries, resulting in repairs being paid for by Allied countries. The programme of the NSDAP initially focused on the myth of a ‘stab in the back’ by anti-war and Jewish dissidents, rather than the obligations of the treaty.
Well stated. It is unfortunate that a single issue, reparations in this case, is repeatedly cited by non-thinkers as a most single cause. It is not true and to see historians in this documentary as so simple minded is absurd.
Yep the "stab in the back" by Jews etc rather than admit the German army got beat fair and square. Kind of like the US right-wing going on and on about "stop the steal" rather than admit American voters voted for a return to normalcy.
Yes, but these "reparations" included costs which were never before included. The widows pensions for instance. They were never part of reparations. "...resulting in repairs being paid for by Allied countries." Germany received loans (with interest; they weren't gifts) from the USA, which it then used to pay British and French reparations, which it couldn't afford, thus resulting in insane hyperinflation. At Versailles, everyone with the minimum understanding of economics knew that Germany, with its massive loss of territory and with its own domestic problems was never going to be able to pay the reparations on the conditions which they were demanded. If you read through the 400+ clauses of the treaty, you should conclude that blame was indeed being put on Germany, or at least understand that it was dictating unreasonable demands on a defeated enemy.
I am freaking that Ms Fulbrook, one of the historians featured in this video, looks and even dresses just like my grandmother. She is much better educated that my grandmother but other than that is is like seeing her again. My grandmother was born in 1889.
She immediately came across to me as a 'grandma'. She seems to have purposefully cultivated her persona in that odd dressed-up grandma manner. I wonder if anyone has asked her about it.

When the images of destruction are blurred the impact of the film - it's entire raison d'etre - is diminished. This can only do harm to the rigour of truth.
IS THERE AN UNBLURRED, UNSANITIZED, UNBOWDLERIZED VERSION OF THIS DOCUMENTARY SERIES AVAILABLE FOR THOSE BRAVE SOULS, LIKE MYSELF, WHO, THOUGH THEY DO NOT DELIGHT IN VIOLENCE AND BLOOD, NONETHELESS PREFER THE TRUTH, HARD THOUGH IT MAY BE AT TIMES TO STOMACH?!
The human intellect has now gone up a level on the Internet in 2023! This is a new level of excellence in the analysis of the history of lethal ideas in the 20th and now 21st Centuries on the road to .01% elites engineered suicidal Armageddon. Keep up the good work!
Is RU-vid causing parts to be blurred? Its being disrespectful to those filming....the Allies and some Germans who filmed things they weren't supposed to.
I don't understand when we went from the HUMAN race to multiple races. What's next? A white cat and a black one are two different species because one's black and the other's white? If we can look at a white cat, a black one, a calico, a tortie, and a orange tabby and still agree that they are all still CATS and the only difference among is their fur patterns/colors why can't we look at each other that way?
Probably many many thousands of years ago the humans who survived the ice age who had the genetic mutation that made them white had conflict with Africans in bordering regions. Maybe even way before the ice age, I don't know history that far. Point being when there's conflict there's always an us vs. them mentality. It's in our nature. Well, take that instinct of us vs. them and apply to thousands of years of history and grudges developing and well, all of a sudden it's not such a surprise. Still equally frustrating, though.
Who is doing the blurring of sensitive images? Is that the filmmakers or You Tube? I find it annoying. The horrors of war should be exposed for all to see, not blurred out.
@46:44 Mussolini was a former communist. He always remained a fanatical socialist. The fasci symbolizes strength through collectivism. "The State" representing "the people" and its control of the means of production. He was kicked out of communist party only because of his support for Italy's involvement in WWI. The Fascists may be right of communists because of their nationalistic views but always remained ideologically socialist. If there is one lesson we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history. Can we not start learning from history by leaving our ideologies at the door? 🙄
Ideologies are inherent to Mankind, can't have 1 without the other, even though i agree with leaving them at the door. But the moment we understood that we could have dominance over the planet and thus other people ideology became a fact of life.
This is a marvelous episode. But it makes my blood boil to see how French incompetence and stupidity allowed the Nazis walk over the French military, especially when French air reconnaissance clearly showed that the Nazis were pushing through the Ardennes to cut off the Allied advance in the north. It cost $9 billion (in today's dollars) to build the Maginot Line. What a waste!
Ich hatte einen Kurs beim Herr Professor Nietzel in Potsdam...als amerikanischer Austauschstudent in der Uni Connecticut...er war immer sehr nett...und natuerlich, hoch intelligent! Ich wusste nicht, dass er so gut Englisch spricht!...gut fuer ihn! ein guter Kerl! alles gute Herr Professor Neitzel!
I'd seen all the 10 parts on another channel and it's such a brilliant, exhaustively researched, contextualised, detailed & consequential series. It may be the finest I've seen on the subject from many I've gone our of my way to source and watch. You have a lot to look forward to with each episode and I hope you find it as illuminating as I found it. Oh, and another brilliant documentary film on the subject is We Shall Not Die Now.
@@Swellington_ no it's not. It's the channel blurring it. They are doing it so they don't get demonetized but it's still their choice to blur and censor it.
@@jayo3074 oh,other channels say its RU-vid and not them,every channel i watch now has blurred images,idk,thats what i was told,maybe its YT and the channel
@@Swellington_ how it works is RU-vid a detection programme that can scan image and video for extremely graphic content. If it finds out then it will demonitise the video. RU-vid sets the rules but it's the channel that decides whether to include the footage or not
The blurring is because of RU-vid-Terms. Even if we are not monetizing the video, RU-vid would rate it +18 years (this would massively decrease the playout). RU-vid unfortunately becomes more and more strict.
At 04:10 why are you censoring images that we've been seeing for over a century? Are you seriously espousing freedom, open and progress yet taking us all backwards with your fare? I thought bookburning was verboten?
So you mean to tell me that between the Napoleonic Wars of the early 1800s and the brutality of the VIVIDLY FIRST WAR EVER photographed, the American Civil War, the general public wasn't aware of the horrors of war and the mutilations and destruction that come from it? REALLY?
Knowledge of War is like knowledge of Death. We all have it. We all know what war is like and we all know that we must die....but we live as if we knew nothing of either.
He was right about some things , not all. That's the scariest part as I agree and millions like me do agree on some things he spoke of , obviously not about the Jewish people.
RU-vid stupidity makes these hard to watch. War docs on regular TV never blur out anything, but some delicate ........sissies at RU-vid decided that we can't handle it.
agreed, the USA is exactly in the same position. WE are headed down a very scary road. and its already to late to stop it, as our election process and the supreme court are completely compromised. Buckle up because we are on the chopping block, especially after what we did to Nord Stream.
One thing you overlooked is the belief that the ‘Kriegsgewinnler’ - the people that got rich via contracts with the government to deliver ammunition, uniforms , food - anything - sent poor quality and not the agreed amount … So they caused death and suffering not only for the soldiers but the whole people Next also: since Middle Ages Jews were not allowed to own land so their only possible professions were selling and buying , lawyer, doctor this changed only after 1870/1
One of your "experts" whose name was not printed on your documentary suggests that America enacted forced sterilization laws. He gives no example of such legislation and just states it as fact without detail. What were these laws in the USA? Which states? What context? Very sloppy.
maybe it was how the treaty at the end of ww1 that caused ww11. the way france actually took over germany manufacturing, the british impact and don’t forget Wilson
Grow a backbone and stop censoring stuff. It's extremely condescending to us as if we are young kids that need protection. If this continues I will unsubscribe
@@bobquen2775 your right but it is still a choice they made. Either don't include the footage and or include. It's stupid to include it but not show it.
There is always at least one person complaining about that. If you are not a child, pick something else then. The blurred pictures don't change the messages and lessons here. Take stock a little... why do you want to go out of your way to complain?
@@jayo3074 If you’re going to unsubscribe just do it, none of us nor I’m sure this channel could care less. Why not make videos of your own if it bothers you so much? Maybe it’ll make you see that videos like these take many hours to put together and just because footage is being censored doesn’t make it a bad documentary.
This was told from a very modern left wing viewpoint. Not only based on what they told and how they told it, but also what they intentionally omitted. It’s actually absurd in several spots
You're completely correct. The comparison of the left vs the right that they try to convey in this doc has absolutely no correlation to modern politics. Besides, everyone that really looks into nadsp politics can see there are alot of extremely socialist/ left wing ideas embedded in it. To compare national socialism to the American right wing is obscene.
Germany was amazing only in the sense of being amazingly stupid. It had about a year's worth of very good luck until it's long slide into an absolutely inevitable doom. Watch some lectures and podcasts by the historian James Holland (appearing briefly in this series) who describes about a hundred reasons why Germany never had a chance and was always it's own worst enemy. And try not to overlook it's amazing brutality, slave labor, Genocide, terrorism, self-delusion and self-destruction.
So you think doing whatever you want whenever it pleases you is better for Mankind? Please don't refuse the person wanting to murder you entrance to your home then....see how stupid your reasoning is?
Interesting how this English version of the original German TV series is blurring the pictures of the wounded ... In German TV and here on RU-vid you can see not blurred. Not that I am a fan of such shocking pictures, but I am surprised that English speakers seem to be so sensitive and must be pampered from realities.
NATO did not exist before 1949, the ECSC was brought into existence as a peace project in 1950 and was enhanced in 1957 to become the European Community. This became the European Union in 1993, which is a democratic transnational organisation.
Fantastic series! The only complaint I have is Yale's James Q. Whitman... Why is he even part of this film? All he does is take every opportunity he can to say "but America was JUST as bad!" and the usual far-left groupspeak. He fairly vibrates with holy "anti-racist" outrage and hatred for his own country. What a sad little man. It is concerning that he is being paid to shape young minds.
On my 90th go around for all ten episodes. I've also finished reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich from Shirer for the second time and my uncle just dropped off 90 bankers' boxes of photocopies documents seized by the 1st Army in Germany in 1945. The amount of documentation WW2 has is staggering. What's nice is the German documentation disproves so many denialist claims. Although I'm not Jewish or Christian, the fact that these monsters killed children makes them unredeemable to me. The two little girls they show photo of at the end of Episode 4 of this series looks just like my daughters. Anyone who could harm a child, let alone millions of children, is not human nor should they be treated with compassion.
Hitler's rise to power is subconsciously thought of as inevitable and predestined but it was anything but. There were many bumps along the road and his progress could have been derailed at any time. A number of assassination attempts failed by pure bad luck.
