What brought you here?
I wrote propaganda in the search bar. This came up.
I was seeing Disney Cartoons of Goofy, I only see 1 of Daffy the commander and then the propaganda vs japanese, was searching of german cartoons of ww2 and I found this video.
Jeff quitney being deleted. Fuck susan man, he was one of the best channels ever.
Germany passing a law that allows police to break into your home and install spyware on your devices...
same as above.
"But there are millions of Germans! Some of them must be nice!"
"Perhaps"
But which ones?
A problem then, lots of Party men hiding out in the population.
This was wise advice, for then.
They immigrated here and we ended up with another of their fas cists as dictator in 2016
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHimNice bait
"Chapter 1: Bismark"
Uh, actually that's more like Chapter 12.
Prior to that, much of the time like the Scots, the Germans spent their energies fighting and killing their deadly enemies, the Germans.
I love the dramatic transition from "We won the war" vibe to the "IT'S NOT OVER QUITE YET" vibe. The seriousness is captivating.
It really is. I’m also glad that they still seemed to respect them as people and what they believed in religion wise, but just wanted them to stop the war and conquer over the world shtick.
The irony is that twenty odd years after that, their sons did have to go fight a war, it was called Vietnam.
And another twenty year in Iraq
kaikyouto yeah but that literally has nothing to do with the Axis powers or even Europe
@@danielmoreno-gama5973 bruh we fought the Russians through a proxy war in the Gulf War and we’re (along with U.N.) still fighting their mercenaries in Syria. It’s Still Axis vs Allies, just moved locations.
"German history....it isn't good."
Well that's not very nice...
But it's true.
He means “Prussian history”.
Since Prussia formed the German Empire, it was the dominant force in Germany. But that is done now.
1:15 It's ironic because most likely that soldier's son did go to war 20 years later. It just wasn't in Germany.
What irony? This is for this war.
@@hoodatdondar2664 It's ironic because American soldiers did have to go to war again 20 years later, not because of German aggression, but because of American imperialism.
"you are going up against... GERMAN HISTORY!"
AAAUUGH!! I haven't been so afraid of a history book since my graduation exam.
Chapter Four. Führer Merkel. Slogan "Pay debt"

Comparing Bismarck and Hitler... I see there are some basic commonalities, but hey, that's a huge stretch.
Well, they were both German 😂 Adolf through naturalization, but whatever
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim But when he was an Austrian back then before he become a chancellor
It's fun to laugh at the past when we have the luxury of future knowledge.
Very intreresting. Also it is quite funny because it all sounds daft now but at the time it was really serious because the war had only ended the year before.
Sussus Amougus
It did its job. That's why it sounds daft. We don't worry about Polio now thanks to the work of a great man, too.
They weren't effective with that. I have three uncles, rest their souls, who came back from there with brides.
But, Elvis came in 1958 and ends the war for sure!
"Aw hell, this is where we came in!"
"Yeah.... this is where we came in..."
When you find out this was written by Dr. Seuss...
Suess started as a great editorial cartoonist, crusading against isolationism and Nazism.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Powerful, even 60+ years later.
0:21 Funny, Ode to joy from Bethooven (German composer)
This must have been rather insulting for German Americans, who served there and had to watch this flick..
Walter Taljaard Why? Was the culture of Nazi Germany culture and it’s ideals embedded in their DNA, despite being Americans?
Replace word ''Germany'' with ''Islamic world''.
works with any propaganda
I agree
How about the early Christian World? In the Medieval World, there was the Crusades, and the Spanish conquest. And then America’s Manifest Destiny. They spread Christianity by force.
Oh noes ! I'm half german ! I must look in the mirror and be veeeery suspicious!
yeah twenty somewhat years later there was a war..... VIETNAM

Thank you!
Called ‘ Here is Germany’, by Frank Capra.
One of the most influential shorts ever made. It quite literally, reflected the plans for the reconstruction of Europe.
wow, neat. i love the use of symphonies in those old reels
That German history book was the toughest enemy we ever faced.
I'm not sure about the occupation aspect, but we (the US) definitely went in there and rebuilt much of what we bombed in Japan after ourselves. I took a trip to Japan recently and visited Hiroshima, and I was surprised at how much it reminded me of an American town. Everything was new, urbanized, it was really unsettling.
Their culture may not be similar, but that doesn't matter much. The Germans weren't capturing countries that had similar culture, they were capturing EVERYBODY, and ever since the Napoleonic Wars, the Germans never trusted the French, and so they were a primary threat to take down.
The original Fox News... lovely.
It's true Germany went through a dark time after unification so this is justified for the time. West Germany actually turned around quite well and now Germany's one of the greatest nations! They're one of the US's greatest allies and the backbone of Europe currently, the only place (other than Switzerland and some other exceptions) that didn't get wrecked by the recession. We got troops there but then again we have them everywhere, and after the Cold War there wasn't much need to take them out, it's actually good we still have them considering Russian Aggression. But I think the Germans are the least of our problems currently, I think this country finally found its place and won't resort to aggression again.
Meh. I wouldn't say the germans are gonna turn a minority just because Merkel let in millions of refugees.
+Face Book
No. They only hate hate speech. They don't hate all kinds of speech. They like freedom of speech. But only 1 category they hate. Hate speech. But I am a ex-muslim and I don't hate it at all.
It's doubly ironic because Dr. Seuss was of German extraction...the grandson of German immigrants to be exact.
It's not safe to go out
It's not right to stay home
He said, "My advice
Is to carry a gun..."
You are forgetting that Britain nearly went broke fighting WWII, and the British Empire largely fell apart after WWII.
According to any historical book about WW2 80% of all German losses were on the Eastern Front and no other allied country destroyed as many German tanks, heavy guns, self propelled guns and axis soldiers as them.
The US help with trucks, equipment and canned food saved a lot of time and lives but even Hitler admitted to the Finnish marshal Mannerheim in 1942 that he had seriously underestimated the weapons productions industry the USSR possessed. He knew the war would now be long.
So, this is when Dr. Seuss started getting so goofy.
WAR
PONY PEACE

This isnt about ponies
This is about Germany
Thanks for uploading this! Much as I hate propaganda, I love analyzing it.
2:05 Neither is American history
Täking Thë High Roäd Oh how about genocide, eviction, slavery, racism, oppression, and imperialism to name a few.
LOL Exactly.
Genocide was committed primarily by the European empires that landed in the Americas
Yes the Native Americans were forced out of the lands that was quite a horrible act
Slavery was practiced worldwide, and most of America hated it. The US was also one of the first nations to ban the North Atlantic slave trade
Oppression was, once again, a global issue, and early America had quite strong feminist and abolitionist movements
America was the least imperialist nation on the planet. After our the era of Manifest Destiny we took Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and a few other small islands while the rest of the world was still carving out chunks of the world
Instead of another war with Germany in the next twenty or so years we got Hogan's Heroes. That will teach them.
I had to play this for my German husband, lol.
Why?
This is so sad, it made me cry. I love the German people.
War... war never changes...
War... Phoney peace.... war... phoney peace. That would describe EVERY country on earth, my friend.
What a nice advice they were giving to American soldiers: "Do not associate with German children!" I sincerely hope they didn't :-)
187O Was started by France
Someone needs to make a YTP out of this
One reason they are so well off financially, is because they have never forgotten the hyper-inflation and economic collapse they went through in the 1920's.
1:31
Nope, there is still ONE Swastika in the corner to the left.
Around Kraut, Watch Out.
Where do I go to enlist?
6:08 They were discussing their plans for a picnic that afternoon.
this is deep :
A note to viewers: keep this film in context.
Your Job in Germany was produced in 1945 just after the most brutal war of all time, World War 2. It was a training film for allied soldiers shipping out to axis countries for the inevitable occupation, and rightly so. Anyone without the critical ability to understand this, seeing the film as a barometer for current attitudes, would be better served finishing college.
Nazis fuck off.
Haha I like that they basically assume 'well, Germany's just gonna do it again someday so...'
3:38 My country first on list, this is true..as Austra-Hungary(later Germany also) started ww1 declaring on Serbia, and tried by all force to conquer it but... they were suprised by the might and bravery of one small country, who had valor men, skilfull leaders and excellent strategies. Battle of Cer in 1914, won by Serbia, marked the first victory won by the allies, austro-hungarian troops retreated long away...
Sweet jumping jesus I could not stop laughing my ass off! I was stationed in Wurzburg,Germany in 1975 as a truckdriver with the 3rd S+T Battalion,3rd Infantry Division and we had a ball with the hash,beer and breaking of every rule we could find! That film was hilarious and i am still laughing......THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!!! Hilarious!
This kind of stuff you find everywhere. In the 40s it was Germany for the US, later it was Vietnam.
People shouldn't forget history but also don't stuck on it, watch in the future. Unfortunately there are still too many people who are talking negative about foreign countries or foreigners only by the color of their skin or by their origins or the country they come from, also in the USA, by the knowledge from this.
And don't forget, world changes, especially within 70 years, also in Germany.
"Someday the German people might be cured of their disease". And they were. Arguably, because the US kept soldiers there.
if Germany had won we would watch this in german instead and with scenes from america.
"It became in 1871 the mightest military power in all Europe..."
The British Empire: 😳
Count the troops. The Empire was largely a commercial proposition that did not need huge armies.
Nuclear weapons have rendered large-scale conventional war impossible, anyway.
In Post-War Germany, as war vets were being replaced by peace-time soldiers,it was necessary to inspire new recruits with an appreciation of bad potentialities in their new posting from werewolves(nazi terrorists),black marketeers,etc.DP camps raids by German police,many who kept their jobs despite regime change, were usually stopped by US war vets, but generally okayed by peacetime soldiers.Germany's Jews numbered 600,000 in'34;50,000 in '48; 3,000 in '49, and they aren't returning in droves.
BMW, VW, Porsche, MiniCooper, Mercedes Benz Daimler of Daimler-Chryslter, Bosch Auto Parts. No, I'm sorry, youver very very wrong. Best auto workmanship has proven itself. But you do make good Ice Cream.
This is fucking brilliant!
"Every German is a source of trouble." Isn't that true for ALL humans?
No.....
Speaking of laying the ground work, a lot of soldiers stationed in Germany layed pipe to German women...Hey, it was all in the line of duty!
inbredagogo Right, as soon as it came to the part where it said not to spend any time with German men, German women.. I was laughing to myself thinking of just this.
When they were listing the German WWI conquests, and announced France, they showed the Cathedral of Louvain, which was actually in Belgium.
I'm not going to put much blame on them here. It was an orientation film for reconstruction troops. They wanted to scare the shit out of the soldiers and keep them paranoid since they had no idea if there was going to be resistance.
Tender people the Germans....
WW1- no mention of Canada. Not only did Canada send troops but 1 out of every 2 weapons used by the Allies was made in Canada.
1946 Academy Award (Oscar) for Documentary Short Subject.
Interesting how the film strongly discouraged fraternizing, but it didn't work out that way. The troops hooked up with German women everywhere during the Occupation.
I had to watch this before I gone to Germany for vacation.
My dad went to Munich Jan. '46, just months after the war. We was with OMG Munich, had charge of a certain set of files, recorded incidents since the end of the war. He said it was the best time of his life. He had a girlfriend, Emily. He scared off feral youths, etc. He also had the inside scoop on switches from the blue money to the red, etc. Made some bucks there, on the black market. He put a 2x4 in a cigarette carton, sold it. That carton and its 2x4 must have circulated for months after..
whatever has happened before , can happen again...................
You will be aloof…
Prussian culture was wonderful, and I'm sad it has been erased. Prussians may have had a more militaristic culture than others, but they didn't go around starting any more wars than other countries did. Britain and France started far more wars in their history than Prussia did. Prussia was a small nation compared to others at the time, and a strong military focus was essential for their survival, what with large aggressive neighbors on all sides.
5:37 to 5:57 is kind of what Iraq was like. Except occasionally they shoot at you.
@Jurassicparkz08, it's not just cable anymore, it's everywhere.
After the War there were a group of German partisians called the Weherwulfs who attached Allied Troops. Most Germans were tired of six years of war so this movement never went very far.
Hell, i'm leaving right now! Didn't you hear the man?? Stormtroopers! By the thousands!!!
Did you hear the latest about Germany? They conqured Europe again, but this time they didn't fire a single bullet.
You do remember that this was made in 1946, not yesterday. You'll have a good time. My father went to Germany when he joined the navy. First time he got drunk as hell and got arrested for the first time in Germany. Enjoy yourself there. :) I'll never be able to go. :(
I like the spiked helmets.
"Nice country, Germany"
But America was far from the biggest contributor to Germany's defeat. If the US had never entered the war, the Soviet Union would still have crushed Germany. It just would have taken longer, and resulted in more casualties. Of course, the Soviets didn't exactly do their half of Germany any favors after the war.
Sneaky Germans! I'm watching you! Lol!
Does anybody know any information regarding the footage of the Prussian military shown at 2:24?
Is it from a film?
They gotta have something like this for Iraq...
At the time they were the enemy, so the attitude is not only understandable, it's not permanent. The historical aspect is true, but the circumstances under which early German conquest came is no more or less bloody that the rest of Europe or Asia for that matter. I do however find it uplifting that this film is trying to say that the way you treat a people doesn't just affect the one generation but the attitudes of generations; if we weren't so harsh after ww1, ww2 night not have been.
"you are up against more than tourist history, you are up against...
GERMAN HISTORY!"
LAWL!! So over the top.
@alphatotheomega7 Frank Capra wasn't an idiot. He was completely aware what he was doing. Germans celebrated Hitler's birthday with Beethoven's 9th. Likewise at 4:26, the warm and fuzzy Tannhauser bit. Conscious irony all of it.
Someone is obviously trying to imply that German histoy started with Bismarck...
this video is so true
This is sadly funny; Germany quickly recovered from most of the Nazi nightmare. This is kind of sad luckily most people over there ignored things like this. I remember someone said in the 1980s, everyone wanted a peaceful Germany now they have and aren't happy.
There's a reason the British Empire spanned the world and not Europe >.>
Spot on even in 2009.
Anyone else totally lulzing over the irony that they played GERMAN composer Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" at the exact moment when the film shouts out Americas victory over Germany?
The expanded version of this, “ Here is Germany”, spends the first five minutes praising the Germans for their education and cultural achievements. So, no, not surprising.
beethoven was of flemish decent... the name is not german.
nontheless it fits the tone of the film perfectly. the germans are as mentioned in the film high achievers in the arts and culture which is also connected to their chauvinism. They are highly civilised and at the same time ruthless. still today.
I guess you could say the guys who originally watched this video did a great job!
Remember that this was just an orientation film for U.S. occupation troops in the immediate aftermath of WWII. Everything in it reflects the sensibility of that moment. Actually the U.S. was hostile to Napolean III also. We armed the Mexican resistance to his puppet Emperor Maximillian to keep the French out of the Civil War.
