  • Hilter was rapidly taking over Europe, and one goal he intended to achieve was to create the ultimate capitol city that would serve as a hub of art, military, and architectural achievement. The capitol city was to be called Germania, and luckily it was never built because Hitler lost the war. There were plans for the mega city designed, and even some construction was started, but ultimately Germinia was just a mad man's dream. Check out today's new video to see what Hitler had in mind for his utopian city capitol.

      When people go on about an alternate universe, birth takes place with minuscule chance of that person being born, so in an alternate universe, surely every person would be different? There’d be me, you, I or anyone else alive today. I mean, a single 10 minute distraction or conversation could lead to that person having a different child.

      Most of the Germania plans was new government buildings, enlargement of roads, and more monuments. They had greater ambitions but they knew even during planning it wouldn't be super realistic. Especially after they used a rock to test the soil, and it sank way more than they thought it would.

    Albert Speer later secretly made architect drawings manisons for many US prison officers.
    In the 20 years in prison he had "built" many US mansions. It was a pleasant job for him. US prison director Colonol Bird told Speer had been so popular.
    Even the Russian prison director had tears in his eyes when Speer was released, who kept shaking his hand

    Thank you very much for shining a light on Speer's culpability. Too many educators and "history" RUclips channels just ignore this fact. I'm curious as to the author's thoughts on this. Is it because the worst evidence against him was never shown during his Nuremberg trial? He was interviewed (with other Nazi's and many British as well) for a documentary series in the 70's by the BBC. Seemed like history has been too easy on him and I thank you for begining to change that.

    • @TheTrickster923

    Actually, the building of Germania would NOT have been possible if it were to be built at the site of Berlin. Alot of Berlin was soft, wet ground. Many of those buildings would have sunk over time, especially the huge arch. Check into it, Speer put in some concrete test pylons and many of them sunk much more than anticipated. In a different area, sure it would have been possible. All except for the almost 1000 ft high grand hall. I would have been so large that weather systems would have formed inside it, especially with over 100,000 people packed in.
