During this time, Hitler repeatedly makes overtures to England for a peaceful settlement before war escalates. Hitler only gets scorned and mocked by the British. Hitler invades and defeats France and her willful allies, chases and allows the defeated British army to retreat to the Island, and repeatedly sues for peace. Hitler gets scorned and mocked again and again. Molotov, Russian Foreign Secretary visits Hitler in Berlin in November 1940, demanding the recognition of status quo. Hitler invades Russia next year, and Allies are on the side of aggressor Russia. Germans then prove to the world that Russians murdered more than 20,000 Polish officers with a shot in the head. "New York Times" claims that Germans actually murdered those officers and more adding up to 50,000. Half the world gangs up and defeats Germany. Russia keeps Poland and half of Europa with the help of the Allies for the next 40 years. Russia admits the murder of said Polish officers. Facts are facts. Does all of this make sense? It doesn't to me. US and Allies repeatedly lie, and compound their lies to cover up past lies, then make new narratives. Fools like to be deceived.
What biased Anglo-American propaganda! - Two nations which shared a common border, a common language, a culture, merge.

Is that how the Brits gained their Empire, by being so 'peaceful'? The hypocrisy of the Anglo-American propaganda is boundless and shameless.
Austria is a German country like Bavaria, Prussia, Saxony, Brandenburg and had competed with Prussia for the dominance over other smaller German countries. Taking into a consideration that even after had lost that competition Austria maintained its independence from Prussia rule and become a strong country on its own also as Empire but still a German country. It was a natural for Austria to be finally united with the rest of Germany from the Austrian point of view as most of Austrian stopped believing in their monarchy and system and saw Hitler as a new leader who can refresh an old idea of the German nationalism and unity. The Habsburgs were about German nationalism but they failed.
@@user-dk9dx3xb2t What are you talking about? The first name for Austria after the WW I was The Republic of German-Austria (German: Republik Deutschösterreich or Deutsch-Österreich) expressing Austrian aspirations to be viewed as a German state. Even better... In 1919 Austrians wanted to join the rest of Germany but victorious Antante had blocked this idea. And going even more back in history Austrian Empire as a leader among German states created Deutscher Bund in 1815 which had be dissoved by Prussia in 1866 ending Austrian leadership among German states to Prussia.
It was a plan! They worried German's gonna do ancshluss on North German speaking land to saint Petersburg or even Ukraine, just like United Russian empire did by romanovs

I am Austrian. One grandpa was a nazi and welcomed NS regime, the other hated the Nazis. Austria was never weaker than these days, so many were ok with this thinking it cannot get worse. This turned out to be wrong.
Braunau am Inn is Hitler's birthplace. It's on the Austrian side. Ethnically speaking Austria is German. Hitler's economy was super successful in 1938, and Austrians were eager to join.
The difference is, at the same time as German troops paraded in Vienna, Austrian troops paraded in Berlin....and in Beijing.......hmm...... I think we have the case of an reunification and a real invasion......:)
Listen to the final radio address of Austria’s prime minister. He was practically on the verge of tears and said very clearly that Austria was only accepting because of Germany’s ultimatum and threat of greater violence.
Invasion ha! I'd like to see Trump or Obama go through Iraq or Syria or Afghanistan or Libya or Chad in an open car. There would be bullets, not cheering crowds.
Especially if that hate makes you look like a Nazi sympathiser. We all know this wasn't technically an invasion, but I've been recommended a book here about how the Holocaust was made up by the Allies to demonise the Germans and it's kind of concerning.
1. These recordings were made by Nazi germany, who used lots of propaganda and arrested anyone, who opposed 2. Hitler dropped his austrian citizenship and in 1926 he became a naturalized german 3. By that logic, there was nothing wrong with for example Stalin
With the exception of the Jews and other 'undesirables', most Austrians wanted to have their country become part of Nazi Germany from what I've heard and read.
title just highlights the need for propoganda- austria overwhelmingly voted forthe anschluss with germany in a national pleblicite in 1919 along with the sudetenland - both pleblicites were regected by america france and britain - so what we have here is not the sensation you see but the will of the people expressed in 1919 being upheld - History is written by the victors!
nick thomas ...Nick, the ‘Anschluss’ occurred nearly 20 years later. Why do you speak of 1919? In that year, the Austro-Hungarian empire was dismantling with new states appearing in its place. The Austrian state ascension into the ‘Grossdeutsches Reich’ was in 1938...with Austria again becoming fully sovereign after Allied occupation in 1955...
Boy oh boy, get a load of that Soviet Air Force. I almost expected Elmer Fudd to step into the picture frame & begin downing those planes with his shot gun. "Wascally Wussians!"
Nation building. Especially after the end of the first world war and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, most austrians considered themselves as "Ostdeutschen", or inhabitants of a natural province of greater Germany. Same language, same heritage, same race, same christian principles. And they felt that it was time to unite politically with Germany. But neither France nor Britain nor the US, champions of democracy and free will of the people, would absolutely not allow this. It was expressly prohibited that that any public referendum take place regarding the issue of reintegrating to Germany. So after witnessing the economic and social successes of the Third Reich, it was only natural that this feeling had increased among the population at large, to unify some way with Germany. Not so for the masonic politicians. The newsreel can only give testimony to this general sentiment, despite what the commentator has to say about. He is only following the systematic anti German propaganda prevalent at the time, and which has not abated with time. So to make a long story short, before the defeat of Germany, the allies again would not allow a Greater Germany. So they planned in advance to give away entire German provinces to her neighbors: Poland, France, Checoslavakia, and Russia, and most definitely separate the "Ost Mark" or Austria. In case only few people have read or heard about it, the following descripción by wikipedia can answer most if no all questions relating to the formation of modern day Austria: "... nation-building has come to be used in a completely different context, with reference to what has been succinctly described by its proponents as "the use of armed force in the aftermath of a conflict to underpin an enduring transition to democracy". In this sense nation-building, better referred to as state-building, describes deliberate efforts by a foreign power to construct or install the institutions of a national government, according to a model that may be more familiar to the foreign power but is often considered foreign and even destabilizing. In this sense, state-building is typically characterized by massive investment, military occupation, transitional government, and the use of propaganda to communicate governmental policy." Wikipedia doesn't mention or hint to Austria or any other country. But all you have to do is connect the dots. That is, gradually over the decades, it has been the commitment of the US government to instill an anti-german sentiment in the Austrian population, and to regard themselves as strictly an "independent" Nation. And for that matter the US from the beginning took over the educational systems in Germany and Austria, that brands a criminals any and all national socialists, all soldiers participating in the war, any and all civilians who worked for the government and assisted in the war effort. this is official history and doctrine. If you question this it you are branded a "neo nazi", an enemy of the people and of the State. You will lose your job and be ostracized. And especially in the case of Austria, to distrust anything German and never ever to think about any reunification or the sorts. If you make any public comment against this official brainwashing you may likely be accused of "intent of reviving national socialism" with a prison sentence of up to 10 years, first offense, and life imprisonment second offense. All this has been imposed on the Germans and "Ost Deutschen" or Austrians by the US government. If anybody can prove me wrong, I'd like to hear about it and your sources. I have mine. So we can take it from there.
"Brainwashing" Oh sorry that people don't want to support a genocidal idealogy, which, if it ever comes to power again, would start another world war. Neither austria, nor germany branded everyone as a criminal. In neither austria, nor germany can you get the life sentence for being a Neo-Nazi. "If you question it" is the wrong to use here. You won't get ostracized for being a Neo-Nazi. It's not likely that you'll loose your job for being a Neo-Nazi.
Good that you mention it. In the US, which has deliberately targeted civilians for annihilation as a means of compelling "unconditional surrender, or genocide if you prefer, has the support of practically all their population. I'm certain that it means nothing to you the firebombing of Dresden, an open city, hardly any air defense, full of wounded and refugees fleeing the heroic red army of rapists, was burnt almost to ashes along with hundreds of thousands of women, elderly and children, or the firebombing of Tokyo, where most houses and building were made of wood, or Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and hundreds of other cities in Germany and Japan, in order to bring down their morale. Or the bombing of allied cities in France and Holland in order to chase the Germans out. Not to mention the carpet bombing of North Korean cities, North Vietnamese cities and towns, the "shock and awe" bombing of Bagdad and other cities of Iraq. I'm sure I haven't cited all the mass destruction and crimes committed by the US and backed by the people. I could go on and on and on. But, sorry, I deviated. Besides, you haven't cited your sources. And just for the record, if you go to Germany I don't recommend you make a fascist salute in public, even if it's just for fun or to parody Germans of around 70 years ago. You will be chased and fined by the police. First offense. Second offense, well it's your guess.
@@luisgonzagaosollo7970 You can not compare bombing cities to the crimes the axis have committed. For example the Holocaust committed by Nazi Germany or the Nanking massacre committed by Imperial Japan were just so much worse than anything the allies have done. And it seems like you do not understand what genocide means. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
Exactly. So according to your understanding, genocide is committed by who kills more millions. Firebombing of German and Japanese cities is perfectly documented, terror bombing for the purposes of bringing down the morale of the enemy was and is illegal. And is still being committed by the US and allies where ever they want to stick their noses. On the other hand, there is no documented evidence of so called "holocaust". Please show us at least ONE picture of a pile of dead bodies in or from Auschwitz. Pictures of piles of dead bodies in Bergen Belsen and other camps, caused by infectious disease, after the war, of course does not represent any gassing of the sorts. There is no a single autopsy that has ever confirmed that. READ and check your sources. All else is just anti German hate propaganda that began before the second world war, intensified during the war, and hasn't abated since.
@@user-dk9dx3xb2t Europe is being ethnically cleansed by the victorious Britain and US states as we speak. Entire European cities have been racially replaced by foreigners. Lol
Austria lucked out after the War. They were in a strategic location at the beginning of the Cold War. That's why they didn't suffer like Germany after the War. The only way the Allies could get the Red Army to leave Austria was to guarantee it would be a neutral country. Which made it a perfect place to spy on each other.
I once met an elderly German man who told me that he was a 19-year old soldier in the Wehrmacht who marched into Austria to save it from the Communists. That's what the young men were told. They were met by enthusiastic Austrians who threw flowers to the troops and welcomed them as brothers. When Hitler addressed the crowds in front of the Hofburg Palace over a million Viennese turned out to welcome him. Of course, when. the old gentleman visited Austria in the 1960's, nobody there remembered any of the welcoming events. These were not "storm troopers" invading, but young soldiers who were conned by their leaders.
Hilarious propaganda! Perhaps the most laughable part being the supposed unwavering support for Czechoslovakia. We all know how that turned out, with the allies practically handing the country over to Germany on a platter.

Austria wasn't part of germany before 1938.
It was a proud unification, to all the German-speaking people, not "invasion".
Austria’s prime minister said otherwise.
This is not invaded but reunification
So much hypocrisy here. The Austrian people wanted the Anschluss and welcomed Hitler, Czechoslovakia was handed over by England and France to Germany without a fight. The following year Germany and Soviet Union invaded Poland and divided the country between them but only Germany got declared war to.
Most Austrians didn’t support it but pretended to,fearing Hitler more than anything else.The Austrian government was also against it but unfortunately Italy was not able to aid Austria.

Russia invades Finland. Nobody says anything. Next year Russia swallows the three Baltic States. Nobody says anything. During this time, Hitler repeatedly makes overtures to England for a peaceful settlement before war escalates. Hitler only gets scorned and mocked by the British. Hitler invades and defeats France and her willful allies, chases and allows the defeated British army to retreat to the Island, and repeatedly sues for peace. Hitler gets scorned and mocked again and again. Molotov, Russian Foreign Secretary visits Hitler in Berlin in November 1940, demanding the recognition of status quo. Hitler invades Russia next year, and Allies are on the side of aggressor Russia. Germans then prove to the world that Russians murdered more than 20,000 Polish officers with a shot in the head. "New York Times" claims that Germans actually murdered those officers and more adding up to 50,000. Half the world gangs up and defeats Germany. Russia keeps Poland and half of Europa with the help of the Allies for the next 40 years. Russia admits the murder of said Polish officers. Facts are facts. Does all of this make sense? It doesn't to me. US and Allies repeatedly lie, and compound their lies to cover up past lies, then make new narratives. Fools like to be deceived.

Oh, wait, in this video, the Brits are described as "peace-loving".. REally? Is that how the Brits gained their Empire, by being so 'peaceful'?
The hypocrisy of the Anglo-American propaganda is boundless and shameless.
Austria is a German country like Bavaria, Prussia, Saxony, Brandenburg and had competed with Prussia for the dominance over other smaller German countries. Taking into a consideration that even after had lost that competition Austria maintained its independence from Prussia rule and become a strong country on its own also as Empire but still a German country. It was a natural for Austria to be finally united with the rest of Germany from the Austrian point of view as most of Austrian stopped believing in their monarchy and system and saw Hitler as a new leader who can refresh an old idea of the German nationalism and unity. The Habsburgs were about German nationalism but they failed.
Austria isn't a german country.
@@user-dk9dx3xb2t What are you talking about? The first name for Austria after the WW I was The Republic of German-Austria (German: Republik Deutschösterreich or Deutsch-Österreich) expressing Austrian aspirations to be viewed as a German state. Even better... In 1919 Austrians wanted to join the rest of Germany but victorious Antante had blocked this idea. And going even more back in history Austrian Empire as a leader among German states created Deutscher Bund in 1815 which had be dissoved by Prussia in 1866 ending Austrian leadership among German states to Prussia.

Austria shouldn't even exist as an independent country. Austria should be a region of Germany because it always belonged to Germany.
Austria should absolutely exist and, other than 1938-1945, never belonged to germany
… Austria existed well before the idea of a united prussian-germanic people… the Austrian Hapsburg line literally owned the hre up until it’s dissolution. If anything, it should be the other way around.
The Austrio-Hungarian empire, also called the Holy Roman Empire, goes back all the way to the 960s

3. By that logic, there was nothing wrong with for example Stalin

Such cope form the American narrator it's pathetic LOL.
title just highlights the need for propoganda- austria overwhelmingly voted forthe anschluss with germany in a national pleblicite in 1919 along with the sudetenland - both pleblicites were regected by america france and britain - so what we have here is not the sensation you see but the will of the people expressed in 1919 being upheld - History is written by the victors!
nick thomas ...Nick, the ‘Anschluss’ occurred nearly 20 years later. Why do you speak of 1919? In that year, the Austro-Hungarian empire was dismantling with new states appearing in its place. The Austrian state ascension into the ‘Grossdeutsches Reich’ was in 1938...with Austria again becoming fully sovereign after Allied occupation in 1955...

Nation building. Especially after the end of the first world war and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, most austrians considered themselves as "Ostdeutschen", or inhabitants of a natural province of greater Germany. Same language, same heritage, same race, same christian principles. And they felt that it was time to unite politically with Germany. But neither France nor Britain nor the US, champions of democracy and free will of the people, would absolutely not allow this. It was expressly prohibited that that any public referendum take place regarding the issue of reintegrating to Germany. So after witnessing the economic and social successes of the Third Reich, it was only natural that this feeling had increased among the population at large, to unify some way with Germany. Not so for the masonic politicians. The newsreel can only give testimony to this general sentiment, despite what the commentator has to say about. He is only following the systematic anti German propaganda prevalent at the time, and which has not abated with time.
So to make a long story short, before the defeat of Germany, the allies again would not allow a Greater Germany. So they planned in advance to give away entire German provinces to her neighbors: Poland, France, Checoslavakia, and Russia, and most definitely separate the "Ost Mark" or Austria. In case only few people have read or heard about it, the following descripción by wikipedia can answer most if no all questions relating to the formation of modern day Austria: "... nation-building has come to be used in a completely different context, with reference to what has been succinctly described by its proponents as "the use of armed force in the aftermath of a conflict to underpin an enduring transition to democracy". In this sense nation-building, better referred to as state-building, describes deliberate efforts by a foreign power to construct or install the institutions of a national government, according to a model that may be more familiar to the foreign power but is often considered foreign and even destabilizing. In this sense, state-building is typically characterized by massive investment, military occupation, transitional government, and the use of propaganda to communicate governmental policy." Wikipedia doesn't mention or hint to Austria or any other country. But all you have to do is connect the dots. That is, gradually over the decades, it has been the commitment of the US government to instill an anti-german sentiment in the Austrian population, and to regard themselves as strictly an "independent" Nation. And for that matter the US from the beginning took over the educational systems in Germany and Austria, that brands a criminals any and all national socialists, all soldiers participating in the war, any and all civilians who worked for the government and assisted in the war effort. this is official history and doctrine. If you question this it you are branded a "neo nazi", an enemy of the people and of the State. You will lose your job and be ostracized. And especially in the case of Austria, to distrust anything German and never ever to think about any reunification or the sorts. If you make any public comment against this official brainwashing you may likely be accused of "intent of reviving national socialism" with a prison sentence of up to 10 years, first offense, and life imprisonment second offense. All this has been imposed on the Germans and "Ost Deutschen" or Austrians by the US government. If anybody can prove me wrong, I'd like to hear about it and your sources. I have mine. So we can take it from there.
"Brainwashing"
Oh sorry that people don't want to support a genocidal idealogy, which, if it ever comes to power again, would start another world war.
Neither austria, nor germany branded everyone as a criminal.
In neither austria, nor germany can you get the life sentence for being a Neo-Nazi.
"If you question it" is the wrong to use here.
You won't get ostracized for being a Neo-Nazi. It's not likely that you'll loose your job for being a Neo-Nazi.
Good that you mention it. In the US, which has deliberately targeted civilians for annihilation as a means of compelling "unconditional surrender, or genocide if you prefer, has the support of practically all their population. I'm certain that it means nothing to you the firebombing of Dresden, an open city, hardly any air defense, full of wounded and refugees fleeing the heroic red army of rapists, was burnt almost to ashes along with hundreds of thousands of women, elderly and children, or the firebombing of Tokyo, where most houses and building were made of wood, or Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and hundreds of other cities in Germany and Japan, in order to bring down their morale. Or the bombing of allied cities in France and Holland in order to chase the Germans out. Not to mention the carpet bombing of North Korean cities, North Vietnamese cities and towns, the "shock and awe" bombing of Bagdad and other cities of Iraq. I'm sure I haven't cited all the mass destruction and crimes committed by the US and backed by the people. I could go on and on and on. But, sorry, I deviated. Besides, you haven't cited your sources. And just for the record, if you go to Germany I don't recommend you make a fascist salute in public, even if it's just for fun or to parody Germans of around 70 years ago. You will be chased and fined by the police. First offense. Second offense, well it's your guess.
@@luisgonzagaosollo7970 You can not compare bombing cities to the crimes the axis have committed.
For example the Holocaust committed by Nazi Germany or the Nanking massacre committed by Imperial Japan were just so much worse than anything the allies have done.
And it seems like you do not understand what genocide means. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
Exactly. So according to your understanding, genocide is committed by who kills more millions. Firebombing of German and Japanese cities is perfectly documented, terror bombing for the purposes of bringing down the morale of the enemy was and is illegal. And is still being committed by the US and allies where ever they want to stick their noses. On the other hand, there is no documented evidence of so called "holocaust". Please show us at least ONE picture of a pile of dead bodies in or from Auschwitz. Pictures of piles of dead bodies in Bergen Belsen and other camps, caused by infectious disease, after the war, of course does not represent any gassing of the sorts. There is no a single autopsy that has ever confirmed that. READ and check your sources. All else is just anti German hate propaganda that began before the second world war, intensified during the war, and hasn't abated since.

American unification meant the death of many nations, so the Usa should be split according to the logic of this films narrative.
I once met an elderly German man who told me that he was a 19-year old soldier in the Wehrmacht who marched into Austria to save it from the Communists. That's what the young men were told. They were met by enthusiastic Austrians who threw flowers to the troops and welcomed them as brothers. When Hitler addressed the crowds in front of the Hofburg Palace over a million Viennese turned out to welcome him. Of course, when. the old gentleman visited Austria in the 1960's, nobody there remembered any of the welcoming events. These were not "storm troopers" invading, but young soldiers who were conned by their leaders.
