      Right, but i feel like some of the things were covered just a tad too quickly, like the incident leading to von manteuffel's arrest. On the other hand, its nice to have my curiosity sparked by a video that covers things in a quick manner afterwhich i can do my own research.

    The three types of Nazi general:
    1. most skilled commander germany ever saw, got into an argument with Hitler and was executed for treason
    2. got killed while traveling in a car or plane
    3. commited many heinous war crimes, was sentenced to 10 days community service and died of natural causes in a villa in southern Germany

      @Exzessiv01 Month ago +8

      @jurgnobs1308 No, thats not wrong Jürg.
      Erich von Manstein = long "a"
      Erich von Mannstein = short "a"
      Edit: My information is wrong - see context below.

    • @jurgnobs1308
      @jurgnobs1308 Month ago +6

      ​@Exzessiv01 no. it's spelled with one n but pronounced as if it had two. names don't follow the same spelling rules as other words.
      he also mispronounced Manteuffel.

      The rise of the Cold War. The allies became concerned that alienating west Germans and removing all their civil and military leadership would hurt the rebuilding process and alienate the population. Notice how several of the “clean” officers and generals were able to obtain advisory or academic roles after the war? Very similar to how America failed to carry out a full post-Civil War Reconstruction due to public sentiment and practical issues, despite the ideological need to carry out the reconstruction/de-nazification. Also look into de-bathization in Iraq, that’s another similar concept event.

    • @jurgnobs1308
      @jurgnobs1308 Month ago +40

      Rommel is completely overestimated. he was a very skilled general but so many people claim he wasn't a Nazi.
      in reality, he was personally responsible for Hitlers protection before the war, a position he got because he was trusted due to his very clear ideological alignment, and because he was known to have killed a lot of leftist civilians in the 20ies.
      he never joined the party because it was actually quite difficult to become a member after 1933 and he only turned on Hitler when he thought the war was lost, as did many other generals.
      comparing him to Blaskowitz is an insult to a brave man who actually spoke out.

    An interesting fact. During the Siege of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), the Nikolai Vavilov Institute of Plant industry had a collection of seeds of many thousands of different crops from all over the world. During the siege, the institute's employees protected the seeds from rats and died one by one from starvation, but not a single seed was touched.
    P.S. The employees believed that this war would destroy the entire world, and their collection would help to restore it.

    • @RowRowRowYourFloat
      @RowRowRowYourFloat 24 days ago +1

      If I remember correctly, the Soviets believed that certain theories like Mendelian generics were inherently bourgeoisie, and therefore a target. The genetic theory Stalin supported is know today as Lysenkoism, named after a former student of Vavilov’s, who turned against him during the 30s. Vavilov, along with thousands of other scientists, rejected the theories and criticized them publicly. As a result, thousands were sent to the gulag.

    • @ErnestoMarsel
      @ErnestoMarsel 23 days ago

      ​​@RowRowRowYourFloatYes, Trofim Lysenko put forward an anti-scientific hypothesis. Stalin believed in it and executed many famous Soviet biologists and agronomists who refuted it. This also led to famine in China and Soviet Union

    • @blah204
      @blah204 22 days ago +2

      Another fun fact. The tomb of Tamerlane was opened two days before the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. One month after the tomb was resealed the battle of Stalingrad was concluded and seen as the turning point for the eastern front. As a result some say, including Stalin, that the tomb of Tamerlane was cursed.

    They managed to convince the working class to elect them as there countries leader after a failed coup. When the atrocities started most people were left with two options stay quiet and live or speak up and die.
    It just spiraled from there. The leaders of the party were riding the high of finaly getting the recognition they felt they deserved. People that once looked down in them were terrified of them.

      He was a skilled commander, a rather poor strategist and an excellent PR expert. Hitler didn’t want to kill him not due to respect but because by then Rommel had a movie star status, thus rendering marking him as a traitor an embarassment to the regime.

      Not that he had a private jet, but the Germans did have a jet engine developed by 1937 and successful flight by 1939. Messerschmidt introduced the first jet fighters in 1942 but they didn’t enter service until 1944, far too late to make a difference in the war.

That don't get to the point and use fancy vocab to sound 🤓. Meanwhile this vid gets straight to the point and is easy to understand and the visuals are simple but effective. I swear if the school assign these vids kids would understand history and pass their history classes I promise you.

      Well, most of Wehrmachts generals and leaders had no business with the holocaust.
      For Example Rommel was the leader of DAK, had little to no connection with it.
      Also, history is Always like that, the Crusades were literally the same, just happened much earlier. Or the Holodomor. And Soviets actually killed More people because of religion.
      History isnt black and white, the German Reich's sins are just simply the most well documented and latest.
