America is so thoroughly corrupt. Colleges are corrupt, the medical industry is corrupt, insurance companies are corrupt, media is corrupt, clergy is corrupt, and to top it off politicians are corrupt and therefore refuse to fix any of the other corruption.

This is a poor choice. We need to be familiar with multiple views - even those we find disgusting. Refusing to distribute this work they are just performing a modern day book burning. Oh the irony. To try and stop the distribution of Hitler propaganda they have to behave like Hitler.
I don’t get why everyone automatically assumes this book is what people mean when they say “Mein Kampf”, it’s literally German for “my fight” so honestly it could pop up in any German conversation not knowing even about the book. Just a thought.
"My loathsome nephew" 😂 I wonder what William called his uncle? The part about his nephew threatening to say awful things about Hitler on a speaking tour sounds like it could be a skit from Monty Python.
i had forgotten about Hitlers nephew how i see the similarities in my personal dealings with some people lets face it your channels speak for themselves truly brilliant stuff i have learned so much from you thank for being an amazing human
Technically speaking, Bavaria didn't outlaw publication of the book but refused to issue publication licenses therefore making it illegal to publish it. It was, however, completely fine to quote from it, for example in history school books.

Hitler: I can't release my tax returns because they're still audited. Besides as leader of the nation, I have complete immunity and total authority. Wonder where we've heard that before...
My grandma was a Nazi, and she was a genuinely evil human being. She died in the early 90s. Likely was poisoned. Nobody was sad, not even my mom. Turned out she left me a part of her life insurance policy. It was a decent amount. I'm buying a house with it, with the intent to make it a halfway house of sorts. I want to help some folks get back on their feet, and maybe find solace from stress and anxiety. It would piss my grandma off SO MUCH to know I was using the money to help others, instead of solely benefiting myself.
Yea he shot himself with a PPK which had been around since 1929 as the standard issue for police. Hence the PP (Polizeipistole). the K variant was a smaller version K standing for Kriminal. Basically translates as: police pistol, detective.

Hey, Blaze Simon, you keep out of the Today I Found Out videos. I come here for serious and interesting facts delivered by the very proper Today I Found Out Simon
Can you do a video on accents within former British colonies and how they evolved over time? Australia, Canada, India, and the US all have decidedly different accents but at some point, should have been common with the UK.
Only english accents in US, Canada and Australia (in this example) “evolved” though, because they were european settlers whose ancestors still constitute the majority of those countries. Whereas for India and other colonised countries (which the europeans didn’t settle in but eventually left), the accent didnt evolve, rather just meshed together with the way regional languages were spoken to have a completely new accent. Slightly different things but still both would be super interesting to learn about.
Well, I think the starting points for all these accents were not the same to begin with. Parts of Ontario and Manitoba (in Canada) initially had a lot of Scottish people partly because the climate was so cold and the Scottish were believed to be more suited to farming and trading in this area.. I think the Newfoundland and Maritimes area of Canada had a lot of Irish people and fishermen, and the Newfoundland accent today sounds a bit Irish to me. I think the New England area was initially settled by people from southern England . I think the Appalachian mountains area of he US was a lot of people from Ulster / Northern Ireland / the Scots-Irish. I think there were lots of people from Northern England who migrated to the US midwest and Canadian prairies in the mid and late 1800s and I am descended from this group. At the time of the 1840s potato famine the Irish Catholics seemed to prefer the US more than Canada, while Irish Protestants seemed to prefer Canada. The British who moved to India were perhaps more middle and upper class than the British who moved to other colonies, since they were there as administrators and military. Most of them left India eventually, but I'm sure this influenced the English spoken there. These are all generalizations but I have noticed this over the years. I'm making a complete guess that maybe the people who were sent to Australia were more likely to be urban poor (such as Cockneys) and Irish.
Over-all great video, I just wanted to note that Hitlers hometown was actually Braunau am Inn and not Linz. Linz is just the capital of Upper-Austria and Braunau am Inn beeing an upper-austrian city, he knew Linz quite well and wanted to spend the rest of his live there.
I'm starting to see Business Blaze Simon leak into Today I Found Out Simon..... He even did the rimshot gag. The timelines are converging, the gods will not be happy with you, Simon.
As soon as Hitler seized power he was fired from his job and barred from working in his profession. He didn't have much of a choice. In 1939 he was barred from sending money to care for his ailing mother in the UK. So he took her and moved to the US to tour the country and make lectures.
I’m going to contribute to your patreaon account. I’m very appreciative of your show. Damn man I don’t think there’s anyone out there that does it like you do 😂🤣👍. Lots of love. I’m always laughing and learning. Half of the stuff- known. You always throw something in the mix that makes me scratch my head and laugh/ cry at the same time. Keep up the good work. Thanks
I did the math before watching and realised that Mein Kampf was already in the public domain. As a Wikipedian, you have to know some things about copyright. If he'd published it before 1923, it would have been public domain much sooner.
The patent for "mein kampf" ran out 2016ish, it is still illegal to publish it in Germany without critical connotations and comments. That said, there is one publisher in munich offering such an edition, which you can only order as no shops display it. (www.thalia.de/shop/home/suggestartikel/ID44013970.html?sq=Hitler,%20Mein%20Kampf&stype=productName) if you are interested in the german article: www.spiegel.de/kultur/gesellschaft/mein-kampf-kann-man-hitlers-hetzschrift-jetzt-einfach-kaufen-a-1068642.html
If copyright law made any sense, we would assume "gets" was a typo referring to the royalties for Mein Kampf, and that its copyright had expired before Simon's mother was born.
I recall being in High School back in 1967, one day while in Study Hall, which was attached to the Library in our school, I walked back to the books and found a copy of this book, I checked it out and began to read it, but was soon bored with the politics of it all and a couple of days later checked it back in. If I remember right, I was like the 2nd person to check it out, I don't know if many other students' checked it out after I had, it did't look all that well read. At that time, however, a lot of the symbols of the German Army were popular with the "wild kids" a black IRON CROSS was a popular device on the drivers side back window of our old 50's cars, and back then the swastika decorated the back of many of my notebooks.
I only got through the first 18 pages, I couldn't take all the whining and bemoaning. I never made it past the first page/both sides, of Harry Potter either.
I actually at one time owned a first edition English version of this book. I bought it for 12$ in a yard sale I let someone borrow it and the moved. Since than I rebought it for my kindle. I have read it several times
In Norway, a famous writer wrote a renowned series books based on his life in Norwegian the title was min Kamp or mein Kampf. When introducing these books in Germany, they had to rewrite the title of the books to avoid confusions with Hitler. The title became Sterben which means to die.
You should do one on the Military Salute, the US one (which I think is common in a lot of other western nations). The hand to forehead thing. You can do more salutes too.
James Bond uses a Beretta in the books, it was swapped to a Walther as it was considered that no secret agent would use a Beretta in the 1960's. This is covered in the film Dr No
Yes, the Walther PPK is the Bond pistol. It is in fact German; made by the German Walther company since 1930 and its acronym stands for Polizeipistole Kriminal (roughly, but not literally, Undercover Detective Pistol) Its also genuinely a good pistol for its use as a holdout weapon for the type of work Bond does, because- short version, thats exactly what it was designed to do. Personal Defense for plainclothes personnel in shady situations. Long version- its small and thin, easily concealable, and has a decent capacity for its size. The .32ACP cartridge is seen as anemic by some, but given that youre only supposed to use it in either sub-100ft (30m for the Euros out there) engagements as a way to fend off your attackers whilst you get away or in extremely close quarters where things like muzzle velocity and Energy Transfer Coefficient do not matter because 8 pea-sized lumps of lead moving at nearly the speed of sound into your chest from 2 feet away will kill you just as dead as anything else, it does its job just fine.
He never died in the bunker, he escaped to Argentina. The show Hunting Hitler proves that multiple Governments were still looking for him long after the war ended 😭
Am I imagining things, or has this topic been done already, a long time back? Mind you, I'm not complaining or anything. I love all of Simon's work, and this is no exception. It's just that I could have sworn they already covered this. I even came into the video knowing that the answer is that essentially nobody gets the royalties, a fact that I could swear I learned from an earlier video they did on this very topic.
It should also be mentioned that Alan Cranston, later a U.S. Senator from California, published a bootleg version of Mein Kampf in the United States. From Wikipedia: Cranston was a correspondent for the International News Service for two years before World War II. When an abridged English-language translation of Adolf Hitler's was released, sanitized to exclude some of Hitler's anti-semitism and militancy, Cranston published a different translation (with annotations) that he believed reflected the contents of the book more accurately. In 1939, Hitler's publisher sued him for copyright violation in Connecticut; a judge ruled in Hitler's favor and publication of the book was halted, but by then a half million copies had been sold, helping inform a wide audience about the threat Hitler posed.
Good stuff👍 The stuff about the royalties, not what's in the book... I do have two copies of the book myself though, just for research purposes. One's a standard copy and the other is a reprint of a copy that was given to captured American G.I.s during WWII, which contains some added propaganda.
You forget all the great things Hitler did such as getting Germany out of huge inflation (Before he came to power it costed 70,000 marks for a loaf of bread he famously said “the wheel barrels aren’t big enough to hold the money”) He also built the first motorway First affordable car (Volkswagen) Fanta the soda The first anti smoking laws and education

I got an ad for a German Tourism company xD LMAO nice to see the algorithm working
NekoWinters: I once saw a T-shirt that said (in the style of a rock band promo):-
"Adolf Hitler, Tour of Europe 1939-1945".
Not available on Audible. Imagine that.
This is a poor choice. We need to be familiar with multiple views - even those we find disgusting. Refusing to distribute this work they are just performing a modern day book burning.
Oh the irony. To try and stop the distribution of Hitler propaganda they have to behave like Hitler.
Me every day: Gee I bet I know every piece of useless information there is.
Simon: hold my beard comb.
This was one of my favorite episodes! I hope it wasn't demonetized, it was very informative.
Simon: Textbook like prices...
Me: okay so like a couple hundred dollars
Simon: €60...
Me:......😂
I don’t get why everyone automatically assumes this book is what people mean when they say “Mein Kampf”, it’s literally German for “my fight” so honestly it could pop up in any German conversation not knowing even about the book. Just a thought.
Mostly just cause people dont generally know german outside germany, but everyone knows hitler
I'd like to suggest a video topic: where does the "ba dum tss" sound effect after a joke come from? What's it's origin?
It's a circus thing, where the drummer punctuated stunts with a similar jingle.
"My loathsome nephew" 😂 I wonder what William called his uncle? The part about his nephew threatening to say awful things about Hitler on a speaking tour sounds like it could be a skit from Monty Python.
i had forgotten about Hitlers nephew how i see the similarities in my personal dealings with some people
lets face it your channels speak for themselves truly brilliant stuff i have learned so much from you thank for being an amazing human
Technically speaking, Bavaria didn't outlaw publication of the book but refused to issue publication licenses therefore making it illegal to publish it. It was, however, completely fine to quote from it, for example in history school books.
Is this a reupload? I'm sure I saw it before, in particular the joke about Hitler "heroically and without regard for his own safety" killing Hitler.
We make that joke a lot. :-) -Daven
I started watching with Autoplay, when Simon did the bada boom....I thought wait what? I don't remember him going all business Blaze on the Mein Kampf video 😂. Had to check the date to see that it's new
Question for a future episode: what are the oldest and youngest fossils ever found and where were they found?
Hitler: I can't release my tax returns because they're still audited. Besides as leader of the nation, I have complete immunity and total authority.
Wonder where we've heard that before...
Any form of government
Any form of religion.
My grandma was a Nazi, and she was a genuinely evil human being. She died in the early 90s. Likely was poisoned. Nobody was sad, not even my mom. Turned out she left me a part of her life insurance policy. It was a decent amount. I'm buying a house with it, with the intent to make it a halfway house of sorts. I want to help some folks get back on their feet, and maybe find solace from stress and anxiety. It would piss my grandma off SO MUCH to know I was using the money to help others, instead of solely benefiting myself.
Yea he shot himself with a PPK which had been around since 1929 as the standard issue for police. Hence the PP (Polizeipistole). the K variant was a smaller version K standing for Kriminal. Basically translates as: police pistol, detective.
I read about a 1//3 of his book. It has some good points like: " The sword then will become the plow and from tears of war will the bread to feed generations to come." However never could finish it even though I love history.
Swords being turned into plows is a line cribbed from the Bible.
Same here . I love history but couldn't get myself to finish the book.
"Who gets the royalties for Hitler's book?" Well, that easy. The garbage can!

Hey, Blaze Simon, you keep out of the Today I Found Out videos. I come here for serious and interesting facts delivered by the very proper Today I Found Out Simon
Absolutely nobody:
Simon: *M E I N K A M P F*
Can you do a video on accents within former British colonies and how they evolved over time? Australia, Canada, India, and the US all have decidedly different accents but at some point, should have been common with the UK.
Only english accents in US, Canada and Australia (in this example) “evolved” though, because they were european settlers whose ancestors still constitute the majority of those countries. Whereas for India and other colonised countries (which the europeans didn’t settle in but eventually left), the accent didnt evolve, rather just meshed together with the way regional languages were spoken to have a completely new accent. Slightly different things but still both would be super interesting to learn about.
Well, I think the starting points for all these accents were not the same to begin with. Parts of Ontario and Manitoba (in Canada) initially had a lot of Scottish people partly because the climate was so cold and the Scottish were believed to be more suited to farming and trading in this area.. I think the Newfoundland and Maritimes area of Canada had a lot of Irish people and fishermen, and the Newfoundland accent today sounds a bit Irish to me. I think the New England area was initially settled by people from southern England . I think the Appalachian mountains area of he US was a lot of people from Ulster / Northern Ireland / the Scots-Irish. I think there were lots of people from Northern England who migrated to the US midwest and Canadian prairies in the mid and late 1800s and I am descended from this group. At the time of the 1840s potato famine the Irish Catholics seemed to prefer the US more than Canada, while Irish Protestants seemed to prefer Canada. The British who moved to India were perhaps more middle and upper class than the British who moved to other colonies, since they were there as administrators and military. Most of them left India eventually, but I'm sure this influenced the English spoken there. These are all generalizations but I have noticed this over the years. I'm making a complete guess that maybe the people who were sent to Australia were more likely to be urban poor (such as Cockneys) and Irish.
The BB rimshot is creeping into the rest of the channels. Only OG Legends will understand.
I've noticed Business Blaze Simon as a whole is bleeding into all of his other channels lately, haha.
Allegedly
The blaze is slowly taking over..... Excellent
Damn, 430MM USD = 279 GBP. The pound sterling really has skyrocketed huh
Over-all great video, I just wanted to note that Hitlers hometown was actually Braunau am Inn and not Linz. Linz is just the capital of Upper-Austria and Braunau am Inn beeing an upper-austrian city, he knew Linz quite well and wanted to spend the rest of his live there.
I'm starting to see Business Blaze Simon leak into Today I Found Out Simon..... He even did the rimshot gag.
The timelines are converging, the gods will not be happy with you, Simon.
Deities do not get angry with their own kind.
Bada bum bum
When someone asks a question you didn't know you wanted an answer to.
Wow, William was a piece of work, wasn't he? Perfectly willing to trade on his name right up until it he could get more out of denouncing it.
As soon as Hitler seized power he was fired from his job and barred from working in his profession. He didn't have much of a choice. In 1939 he was barred from sending money to care for his ailing mother in the UK. So he took her and moved to the US to tour the country and make lectures.
i respect the hussle
I’m going to contribute to your patreaon account. I’m very appreciative of your show. Damn man I don’t think there’s anyone out there that does it like you do 😂🤣👍. Lots of love. I’m always laughing and learning. Half of the stuff- known. You always throw something in the mix that makes me scratch my head and laugh/ cry at the same time. Keep up the good work. Thanks
I never had this question but dammit after seeing it if I didn't want to know the answer.
I did the math before watching and realised that Mein Kampf was already in the public domain. As a Wikipedian, you have to know some things about copyright. If he'd published it before 1923, it would have been public domain much sooner.
🤣£60 for a text book
Let me laugh and cry as I lay my Benjamins down to pay for mine😭
The patent for "mein kampf" ran out 2016ish, it is still illegal to publish it in Germany without critical connotations and comments. That said, there is one publisher in munich offering such an edition, which you can only order as no shops display it. (www.thalia.de/shop/home/suggestartikel/ID44013970.html?sq=Hitler,%20Mein%20Kampf&stype=productName)
if you are interested in the german article:
www.spiegel.de/kultur/gesellschaft/mein-kampf-kann-man-hitlers-hetzschrift-jetzt-einfach-kaufen-a-1068642.html
I doubt that many couples had that book listed on their registry. "Oh you shouldn't have! No, really, you shouldn't have."
If copyright law made any sense, we would assume "gets" was a typo referring to the royalties for Mein Kampf, and that its copyright had expired before Simon's mother was born.
simon: makes video about hitler
youtube: aaand it's gone. all you're money, it's gone.
maybe you can sell them your face...

I recall being in High School back in 1967, one day while in Study Hall, which was attached to the Library in our school, I walked back to the books and found a copy of this book, I checked it out and began to read it, but was soon bored with the politics of it all and a couple of days later checked it back in. If I remember right, I was like the 2nd person to check it out, I don't know if many other students' checked it out after I had, it did't look all that well read. At that time, however, a lot of the symbols of the German Army were popular with the "wild kids" a black IRON CROSS was a popular device on the drivers side back window of our old 50's cars, and back then the swastika decorated the back of many of my notebooks.
Of course it goes to a certain man in Argentina. Where else?
Lol his son Right??
Well played
Who the hell thumbs down theses videos? They are informative and entertaining. It's absolutely crazy. I wish I could thumbs up more than once!!!
Your humor is on point and it is educational. Well done!
Need to escape for a bit from what’s happening right now.
Me too! Thank you Simon!
You know things are bad when you're like "oh a video about hitler, that's a good escape from reality"
Let's distract ourselves from all the racism in this world by watching a video about Hitler.
@@Doctors_TARDIS Touch. Fair point.
@@denisenova7494 To learn history is to avoid repeating it.
I just recently found these videos. I very much enjoy them. Simon I feel like im listening to an old friend when you speak. I love your style!!!
Without watching I think it’s a Jewish charity.
Half right
If that’s true it would be funny because you are supporting the Jews harmed by hitler buy buying his book that says shitty things about Jews lol
@@jimmykool3253 not if bought used.
@@AndroidJackson there are no royalties in used book sales
jimmy kool No, it doesn’t. That idea makes no sense whatsoever.
You’re so giddy in this video haha. Hope you enjoyed making it :)
I only got through the first 18 pages, I couldn't take all the whining and bemoaning. I never made it past the first page/both sides, of Harry Potter either.
I actually at one time owned a first edition English version of this book. I bought it for 12$ in a yard sale I let someone borrow it and the moved. Since than I rebought it for my kindle. I have read it several times
I'd shamelessly accept the royalties as I'm F-ING broke...
In Norway, a famous writer wrote a renowned series books based on his life in Norwegian the title was min Kamp or mein Kampf. When introducing these books in Germany, they had to rewrite the title of the books to avoid confusions with Hitler. The title became Sterben which means to die.
Give the money to AntiFa.
You should do one on the Military Salute, the US one (which I think is common in a lot of other western nations). The hand to forehead thing. You can do more salutes too.
Aaaaasand we get a Blaze Rimshot in at 0:53. Allegedly legend!
James Bond uses a Beretta in the books, it was swapped to a Walther as it was considered that no secret agent would use a Beretta in the 1960's. This is covered in the film Dr No
Bit of Business Blaze sneaking in with that opening Bad-a-bum-bum tish. Nice.
I love how a bit of that Business Blaze sass is making it's way to this channel too.
HEY! That drum roll was in the wrong video! I laughed so hard and almost choked. x3
Yes. Yes it is also Bond’s gun assuming it’s the same caliber. Pretty sure it comes in 2 calibers.
Yes, the Walther PPK is the Bond pistol.
It is in fact German; made by the German Walther company since 1930 and its acronym stands for Polizeipistole Kriminal (roughly, but not literally, Undercover Detective Pistol)
Its also genuinely a good pistol for its use as a holdout weapon for the type of work Bond does, because- short version, thats exactly what it was designed to do. Personal Defense for plainclothes personnel in shady situations.
Long version- its small and thin, easily concealable, and has a decent capacity for its size. The .32ACP cartridge is seen as anemic by some, but given that youre only supposed to use it in either sub-100ft (30m for the Euros out there) engagements as a way to fend off your attackers whilst you get away or in extremely close quarters where things like muzzle velocity and Energy Transfer Coefficient do not matter because 8 pea-sized lumps of lead moving at nearly the speed of sound into your chest from 2 feet away will kill you just as dead as anything else, it does its job just fine.
This was really interesting, and I was like 'is this... the blaze....' lol! I like the silliness.
He never died in the bunker, he escaped to Argentina. The show Hunting Hitler proves that multiple Governments were still looking for him long after the war ended 😭
Lots of people were looking for Elvis after he died too. That's not evidence that he was still alive. -Daven
People look for Bigfoot. He isn't real.
Thank you for continuing to answer questions I never asked, lol
Am I imagining things, or has this topic been done already, a long time back?
Mind you, I'm not complaining or anything. I love all of Simon's work, and this is no exception. It's just that I could have sworn they already covered this. I even came into the video knowing that the answer is that essentially nobody gets the royalties, a fact that I could swear I learned from an earlier video they did on this very topic.
It should also be mentioned that Alan Cranston, later a U.S. Senator from California, published a bootleg version of Mein Kampf in the United States.
From Wikipedia:
Cranston was a correspondent for the International News Service for two years before World War II. When an abridged English-language translation of Adolf Hitler's was released, sanitized to exclude some of Hitler's anti-semitism and militancy, Cranston published a different translation (with annotations) that he believed reflected the contents of the book more accurately. In 1939, Hitler's publisher sued him for copyright violation in Connecticut; a judge ruled in Hitler's favor and publication of the book was halted, but by then a half million copies had been sold, helping inform a wide audience about the threat Hitler posed.
Good stuff👍 The stuff about the royalties, not what's in the book... I do have two copies of the book myself though, just for research purposes. One's a standard copy and the other is a reprint of a copy that was given to captured American G.I.s during WWII, which contains some added propaganda.
Man Simon those strings of words before the joke really got me worried there
Simon's channels are starting to get Blazed!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ALLEGEDLY!
You forget all the great things Hitler did such as getting Germany out of huge inflation (Before he came to power it costed 70,000 marks for a loaf of bread he famously said “the wheel barrels aren’t big enough to hold the money”)
He also built the first motorway
First affordable car (Volkswagen)
Fanta the soda
The first anti smoking laws and education
Can you please do a video on the Stewart Semple vs Anish Kapoor Vantablack mess? It's absolutely hilarious and something I think fits in on this channel!
