Don't Be a Sucker! is a short educational film produced by the U.S. War Department in 1943 and re-released in 1947. The film depicts the rise of Nazism in Germany and warns Americans against repeating the mistakes of intolerance made in Nazi Germany. It emphasizes that Americans will lose their country if they let themselves be turned into "suckers" by the forces of fanaticism and hatred. The film was made to make the case for the desegregation of the United States armed forces by simply revealing the connection between prejudice and fascism.
This film is not propaganda. To the contrary, it teaches how to recognize and reject propaganda, as was used by the Nazis to promote to bigotry and intimidation. It shows how prejudice can be used to divide the population to gain power. Far more significantly, it then shows how such tactics can be defanged by friendly persuasion; that protection of liberty is a unifying and practical way to live peacefully.
Plot:
A young American Free Mason is taken in by the message of a soap-box orator who asserts that all good jobs in the United States are being taken by the so-called minorities, domestic and foreign. He falls into a conversation with Hungarian professor who witnessed the rise of Nazism in Berlin and who tells him of the pattern of events that brought Hitler to power in Germany and how Germany's anti-democratic groups split the country into helpless minorities, each hating the other. The professor concludes by pointing out that America is composed of many minorities, but all are united as Americans.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND / CONTEXT
Nazi Germany is the common English name for the period in German history from 1933 to 1945, when Germany was governed by a dictatorship under the control of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP). Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed into a fascist state in which the Nazi Party took totalitarian control over nearly all aspects of life. The official name of the state was Deutsches Reich from 1933 to 1943 and Großdeutsches Reich ("Greater German Reich") from 1943 to 1945. The period is also known under the names the Third Reich (German: Drittes Reich) and the National Socialist Period (German: Zeit des Nationalsozialismus, abbreviated as NS-Zeit). The Nazi regime came to an end after the Allied Powers defeated Germany in May 1945, ending World War 2 in Europe.
Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by the President of the Weimar Republic Paul von Hindenburg on 30 January 1933. The Nazi Party then began to eliminate all political opposition and consolidate its power. Hindenburg died on 2 August 1934, and Hitler became dictator of Germany by merging the powers and offices of the Chancellery and Presidency. A national referendum held 19 August 1934 confirmed Hitler as sole Führer (leader) of Germany. All power was centralized in Hitler's person, and his word became above all laws.
Racism, especially antisemitism, was a central feature of the regime. The Germanic peoples (the Nordic race) were considered by the Nazis to be the purest branch of the Aryan race, and were therefore viewed as the master race. Millions of Jews and other peoples deemed undesirable by the state were murdered in the Holocaust. Opposition to Hitler's rule was ruthlessly suppressed. Members of the liberal, socialist, and communist opposition were killed, imprisoned, or exiled. The Christian churches were also oppressed, with many leaders imprisoned. Education focused on racial biology, population policy, and fitness for military service. Career and educational opportunities for women were curtailed. Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels made effective use of film, mass rallies, and Hitler's hypnotizing oratory to control public opinion. The government controlled artistic expression, promoting specific art forms and banning or discouraging others.
Following the Allied invasion of Normandy (6 June, 1944), Germany was conquered by the Soviet Union from the east and the other Allied powers from the west and capitulated within a year. The victorious Allies initiated a policy of denazification and put many of the surviving Nazi leadership on trial for war crimes at the Nuremberg trials.

“I’ve heard this sort of talk before, but I never expected to hear it in America.” It is telling how this video reflects on us today.
time for some paradigm breaking revelations - the history of eurocentric culture is just different parts of europe doing the same general things. consolidating wealth, enslaving the world, pretending they own the world and feeling entitled to any wealth anyone else might be able to generate. the excuses they give themselves to justify these behaviors are nearly identical too. just replace the name of the country and their past will be filled with little more than copious slaughter and unnecessary suffering. turns out, when you let psychopaths direct society, it turns into a bloodlust murderfest. every single time. because they will go to any length to protect their stolen, undue power.

You realize that in the context of the time there was no internet or any fast ways of communication besides radios and landlines. So really you had to take them at their word that and mainly because goeballs would overpower other parties.

The same people who own Blackrock, Vangard, and everything that you know and love from the media you’ve enjoyed, the products you’ve consumed, and more than likely the people you’ve looked up to. They have always been implementing the ideas of the current downfall into our minds, they’ve just dumbed everyone down enough to do it more openly now and sold it to the people as being “progressive”. Remember Weimar? Or are you unaware of what was being orchestrated in Weimar by the “chosen people”. The world is not sunshine and flowers.

Guys this is literally government propaganda from the 40s designed to make the public think a certain way and you’re internalizing it. Racial awareness is not taught; it’s learned. Often through experience. Like after the tenth time you’re beaten in the streets by a black or Mexican gang you learn that the 40s propaganda was a lie.
@@peachnehi8683 A person who experienced that should be anti-gang or anti-crime. Instead, that normal hatred of injustice has been twisted in some to becoming anti-black and anti-Mexican even though most blacks and Mexicans are innocent of those crimes, just as most whites are. The race of a perp has become this person’s focus instead of the perp’s character. Instead of “I hate criminals who beat me up” he thinks “I hate blacks, I hate Mexicans”. It’s a gut reaction, a trick of the brain to protect him by putting the biggest wall possible between him and the danger. If, his brain says, “all blacks or all Mexicans are dangerous”, it’s easier to put his walls up to protect himself. He doesn’t have to get close enough to a person to work out their CHARACTER and know if they are dangerous, he can see their colour or race from a distance and take steps. All racism is derived from fear and the brain’s attempt to deal with that fear in the simplest most complete way possible: A black man hurt you? Avoid all black men from now on. Try to reduce their power to hurt you in the future by suppressing them or expelling them. All of them, because you don’t know who the bad ones are. That’s how the racist brain thinks. It’s simple and effective, if you have the power. Which the Nazi’s did.

I wrote a paper in highschool, early 2000s, about how Hitler and Mussolini subverted their governments to take power. I closed the essay out with a paragraph about it makes one think how we could lose our democracy in America. My teacher wrote underneath, "That can never happen in America, we have checks and balances!" with a smiley face. I'm pretty sure she didn't read the paper, I think she just checked to see if we wrote the citations correctly and used at least 3 different books and one newspaper article. Pretty sure she told us everything on the internet is made up too.

This is why Nazism was dispised by the majority of people back then. Cause they just lived through it. This is the best anti Nazi film I've seen. It sucks how history is trying to repeat itself. It's easier to point the finger at someone else for your problems then to take responsibility for them yourself.
I’m struck by how soon this film was released following the fall of the Third Reich.
Imagine how disappointed people in the 1940s would be if we went back and told them that this kind of film is still needed in the 2020s.
Indeed, you got Far Left Progressives causing the Culture War and trying to basically fight racism with more racism and some of them trying to make things so "safe" and non offensensive it's restricting,and rarely trying to find the middle ground, and some essentially causing mindless violance and chaos as seen by the horrific 2020 riots and just going into ideas that are so disturbing and morally wrong, and you got some on the Right trying to counter that chaos, but sometimes they go a little too strict on laws. One side causes chaos and occasionally censors thing, one tries to bring too much order, we got the parties going for the most extremes rather then trying to find something that works for most people. Thus both sides implement some elements of Fascism.
How is it needed nowadays when the world nowadays tells us we need the opposite?
Imagine how disappointed people in the 40's would be if they realized that there were people dumb enough in 2023 to watch this schlocky and banal 1943 war propaganda film made by Warner Brothers, which was written by an actual communist (who 10 years later was brought up on charges by House un-American committee's), and think that it was "needed". You know what other propaganda film Warmer Brothers made that same year in 1943? Mission To Moscow. I'll save you the time of laying out the plot (you can watch it since you're so enamored with pro-Marxist, anti-Christian propaganda), but its main points were pointing out what a great man and leader Josef Stalin was, and how happy people were in the Soviet Union under communism. Meanwhile, also in 1943, the Germans found the mass graves of over 20,000 Poles who were executed in mass graves, killed by the barbaric Soviet NKVD. Your own government knew the truth, and still lied to you and blamed the deaths on the Germans, all while producing pro Soviet films from Warner Brothers. It took 50 years for the US govt to admit the truth that it wasn't the Germans, which is still less time than it took to learn the lies about illegally arming the civilian passenger ship Lusitania.
This will never end

@@HeathWatts I don't see how capitalism benefits from fascism. The only corporations that benefit are the ones that the government nationalizes in the name of the country/ethnicity/race. Any seemingly successful business is run out/given to a member of the fascist regime. In Nazi Germany, any successful business run by a jewish person would either be shut down or run into the ground by a german who has no idea how to run that business. I can see how some of the right benefit from fascism, being that fascism is right wing, but it wouldn't benefit any right winger who isn't fascist. Any libertarian capitalist who doesn't want the government to run his business is screwed. And, of course, any rich people who aren't part of the regime will have their wealth taken away. So only certain rich people benefit. To clarify, I hate fascism. I am not defending it. But I am a right winger, in the sense that I am a libertarian capitalist type. My argument is that fascism only benefits fascists, and the vast majority of right wingers have more in common with democrats than fascists. I'm sure the left, with stalinism is in the same boat, but I'm not a leftist, so I don't know.

@@edgarwalk5637 an earlier commenter said it best "This was a Warner Brothers film produced by Jack Warner in 1943, a notorious communist sympathizer. This same year, Warner Brothers made the film Mission To Moscow, in which the plot was essentially a US ambassador visits Moscow, realizes that all the negative things he hears about Stalin was untrue, he meets Stalin, and realizes he's a great leader and a kind man, and the film degrades to even showing actual footage of Stalin's late 1930's show trials with a narrator who supports the trials as justice against "fifth columnists", even though these trials were nothing more than made up charges and confessions derived from brutal NKVD torture sessions, and almost always resulted in the execution of one of the thousands of people Stalin perceived as a threat.

Im sure everyone will come over and say "You are wrong! Its Left/Right that are dividing!", but they will prove my point. Rather then to work together with so called "bad side" they are more interest to outright destroy them rather then to talk and cooperate, making compromises like civilized people.

Fascism is a reaction to liberal* democracy.
*in the classic sense.
Fascism is a far right ideal. Democracy is a left ideal.
Republicanism can be left or right. In the USA it started as a radically liberal ideal.
These are facts. It's not division.
My issue as a leftist with this bothsidesism ppl love to engage in is that you say work together but we are getting to the point in this country where "work together" with the right would just be working with the Nazis. 🤷🏻♀️ We aren't super close to slipping into a communist hellscape like Republicans like to claim, but we are dangerously close to the far right extreme of fascism and authoritarianism, and I can't work with that bc to work with them I'd have to go along with the migrant and gay hating, otherwise I'm "part of the problem."
I love my inlaws, but they voted for Trump bc they are literally this guy in the video, and they haven't gotten to the "hey wait a minute, he's talking about ME and my family" part. And like typical conservatives, until that rhetoric affects them or their family members, they just can't be bothered to care about the ppl being "otherized" by Trump and the Republican party, no matter how many times I've tried to explain that even if you aren't empathetic enough to care about others, then think of it from a selfish perspective bc one day they will very likely find a reason to come for you and then it'll be too late. But they just don't think it can happen here (as it's literally happening before our dang eyes) or they think it just can't happen to them.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink as they say.
the people who disliked this video are definitely suckers
The strawman argument they put forth for why the German people got "suckered" makes me inclined to think that those that believe this video as if it's not a work of post-WW2 American Propaganda are the real suckers.
Americans did horrible things to the French and German citizens and both America and Britain sold German POWs and citizens as slaves to the Soviets after firebombing their population hubs into rubble... And Germany, with it's unsavory values were the only evil ones...

Perfect way to end this knowledgable video. People talk about 'minorities' as if they're not a part of one, but literally _EVERYONE_ is a minority in one way or another-it doesn't have to be in race, sex, origin or religion. A threat to any minority spreads as a threat to _all_ of them. Just like MLK said: _"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."_
The problem is that some minorities are persecuted more than others. White Americans have been threatening and oppressing the freedom of Black Americans for centuries despite whatever "minority" group they come from.

As NATO doctrine puts it, an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.

The fact that so many in the comments are trying to say that this is a propaganda film and therefore has no value is insane. The message itself is a great one that it doesn't matter what way it was told, but being technically propaganda just so happens to be how it's told.
11:39 "We must judge each man as an individual..." One of the most important things from this video. Unfortunately today we are so caught up in group-think and that's so dangerous. Assigning blame and prejudices to an entire group of people because they may fall into certain categories. We define ourselves by our character and actions--and we should evaluate each other based on that instead of blind, knee-jerk reactions based on one of various boxes a person may fall into.

I'm of the political party that says trans/gays shouldn't be picked on... but I personally don't recognize more than two genders. The republicans kind of left me to do some weird fight against drag queens. Drag queens aren't a problem. Nut jobs shooting up schools might be a problem. I disagree with Dems on abortion and boys changing in girls locker rooms. I disagree with Reps on... well Jan 6th-style thinking and ignoring Covid. I just don't know what happened to my America. Everyone went extra crazy after Covid. Just accept each other's strengths instead of picking at each other's weaknesses.
"Always they are made for us" Yep! Made for us by propaganda like this video.
@@mugsofmirth8101 Read about the paradox of intolerance put forth by Karl Popper

'Jhayynaa.. Mexicans.. They bring rapists, criminals, drugs.. them.. their people!' - *Donald J Trump*
This is American self criticism at its ABSOLUTE BEST, and it stays relevant today even more so then back then.
This needs to get as viral as possible.
It got lost in the red scare. And yes Stalin was a monster,no doubt. Just as murderous and repressive. Trump is the epitome of pitting one against other.
But the people this film critiques will have the teachers who show it arrested for "indoctrination."
And Americans aren`t known for their self-criticism and modesty,they`ve always been known worldwide as loudmouths
@@mjh5437 A slight correction; we are more... Republicans then all of us! Most all of the Democrats I know are very pleasant calm people; most of the republicans as we. saw under dmfp; are angry, loud and detrimental to the over all health of our country!
I shared it on Twitter
Wouldn’t it be great to see our government embrace these concepts? Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
The "current of enthusiasm", as I think Albert Speer(?) described it, is hard to deny when you watch the regular speeches and marches. Even now it seems unreal; never on earth has anyone been so profoundly obsessed or possessed with such a mad ambition. Carl Jung said they were "drunk on a wild god" (Wotan). "Die Ergriffenheit"
The world is quite mad, I promise.
Wow, a lot of familiar stars from that era. Well produced. The credit says 1947, but was actually made in 1943 during the war, then re-released in theaters again after the war. Paul Lukas played the Hungarian professor -- such a great actor. It contains a message as true today as it was back then!
How could they have talked about D-Day then if that was in 1944?
You're not wrong that it's equally true, but not for the reason you think.
@@Liam-uq7rb the 1943 date comes from IMDB, who are generally correct about these things. According to the IMDB page, the film was re-released in 1947 with a shorter runtime and updated to mention later events.
I'm 44 and I used to catch these kind of old films during daytime television at home on the weekend as a kid. The central character, that young man who says "I'm a mason!" I'm sure I recognise him too - was he pretty famous?
I recognized the great Ernest Borgnine as the Nazi speaker. Wouldn't surprise me if all these actors did this film for free.
RIP Prof Boszormenyi who fled Hungary for another country and became a teacher to many other people. I had a better upbringing also because of you.
the part where he said "I've heard this type of talk before, but never thought I'd hear it in America". Like there wasn't a Nazi Rally in 1939.
Being a refugee from Europe, he may have gotten to the USA after that time.
If you can't see the parallels of this playing out then you are blind or are a part of the problem today
It's amazing how relevant this film is today in the USA.
And, by the same token, it's dismaying how far the right has slid into authoritarianism.
In the world
The same people that made this film changed their mind. And here aw are.
Conservatives are two steps away from goose-stepping down the street heiling for Trump as they vote to keep themselves in poverty.
Meanwhile liberals don't want to engage in reality and refuse to see the warning signs.
We need to elect more scientists and fewer high school bullies.
Not just the USA. There is a palpable rise in right wing action in many places. Eastern Europe for one, which is a rare grain of truth in Putin's several 'reasons' to invade Ukraine (by sneak attack, same as Hitler). Meanwhile, the republican party in the USA (Trump) embraced the right wing/Neo-Nazi groups in order to grow their party and infect as many simple American sucker brains as possible - that's how Trump won in 2016. Simple fact is this is cyclic. Right wingers had their time in the sun back in the 50s. Then the liberals rose up, delivering more women's rights, legal abortion which rambled on a while as we wrestled with our war in Vietnam and the aftermath leading to a softer right wing reaction with Ronald Reagan Make America Great Again. First black President was a shot across the bow for the right wingers and worse, Obama basically tossed the keys to the kingdom to the gays, fruits and nuts his last 2 years in office and that was too much. And that's how we got Trump, who's an even dumber right wing reaction than GW Bush was. I never cared much for Joe Biden at any point, but I'll take him any day of the week over Trump, and twice on Sunday.

Frank D The EU says the Visegrad countries have one month to "normalize" their policy on immigration.
Sounds like Prag in -68.
Leftists calling on history to aid their stupid causes...
Twats...
Hate breads hate.
Nationalism, ignorance, fear, and hate leads to violence.
Nazi Germany wasn't created in a vacuum. Mussolini and Hitler capitalized on the same types of nationalism, ignorance, and fear that we are experiencing right now. Who will take their place? Duterte? Trump? Jong-un?
Frank D SEE WHAT TRANSPIRED AT THE MARCH OF NEO NAZI , KKK. THIS VIDEO TOO RELEVANT TO BE COINCIDENCE.
@Medovukha What the hell are you babbling on about? Those white supremacist, nazi scum buckets arrived ready for battle. They were dressed in military gear, carrying weapons, ready to fight!
They came from all around the country, threatening to take over Charlottesville.
They chanted nazi slogans!
They rammed a line of riot cops, pushing against them in an effort to breach the barricades!
They drove a car into a crowd, a terrorist act to be sure.
These white supremacist nazi scumbags are terrorists!
Enough with the false equivalency bullshit!
Frank D Reagan cut taxes. The result was a 15 year surge in our economy which went through the Clinton Presidency. The Clintons had nothing to do with it. Yet being the politicians that they are, they took credit for it. When taxes are cut Americans are free to invest invest and buy. It creates more jobs. More people are working so more people pay taxes. The economy surges in a positive way. That is the truth. High taxes stifle the economy.
