"Marmalade on toast and apple strudel. What is this?" "Hitler's breakfast order." Wow. You learn something new every day. Even history's most evil monsters like to start their days with pleasant breakfasts.
It actually makes perfect sense. Those most evil are the most selfish, and what could be more selfish than a good life at the cost of others? Him eating cake for breakfast fits perfectly into that mentality. Others suffer and die on his behalf while he enjoys a good life.
@@DraculaCronqvist To be fair a marmelade toast and an apfelstrudel isn't really the most decadent of breakfeasts, but that shot of heroin definetly is.
Funny thing is following the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 Stalin retreated to his dacha and when Zhukov and another general went to see him to get orders he honestly believed he was going to be arrested and deposed.....a shame for the world that Zhukov didn’t do that because the Cold War might never have happened.
I can't say this for certain because the show is just so amazingly funny and brilliant, but this may be the funniest sketch they ever did. Or if not the funniest, then maybe just the silliest and most over the top with its comedy.
Bill Horrill Yeah, but that’s just about specific jokes. The whole show is meant to be true, that’s the whole point. Ofc, some things are very inaccurate: Aztecs never ate _plain_ corn and beans for ages; they ate dishes _made from_ corn and bean. And the kind of bean they ate _didn’t_ give them gas. Also, the pirate myth of the black dot is fiction. The show isn’t perfect but the intention is 100% accuracy.

This sketch is what made me develop my crush on Mr. Mat Baynton. That partly ginger-dyed hairstyle and a German accent makes him SO ridiculously handsome 😍😍😍
Since the show is centered on history from a british point of view, they actually make more fun of Britain than of any other nation. I always found it rather weird though that they have characters who play German or French people speak English with a heavy French or German accent in scenes in which they are supposed to speak their native language. They didn't give the ancient Greek a Greek accent or the vikings a norse accent either. It would be more fitting to have them speak normal English, if for good reasons of convenience and a better viewing experience they don't do actual German or French dialogue with English subtitles. Doing it that way makes the characters look like they couldn't speak their own language properly.
@@chrisrudolf9839 They do it to increase the comedy value. Don't read too much into it, it's all just part of the fun. Doing the skits in actual French/German with English subtitles would kill most of the jokes anyway, and it's the humour that makes it memorable. Which is, after all, what they're trying to achieve - making history more accessible to everyone through humour...
Chris Rudolf This skit is from a TV series called Horrible Histories, for children on a channel called CBBC in the UK. The TV series is based on a series of books with the same name, again for children primarily, by Terry Deary
I mean this is a guy who literally not only started one of the most deadly wars in history but also ordered the murder of millions of innocent people even including children and babies and was responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people including 1.5 million innocent children so saying that he was mean is a understatement. Of course since Horrible Histories is for children they can’t mention the Holocaust in it due to potentially traumatizing them though they did still do a good job of mentioning how horrible Hitler was.
I think there's no better example to demonstrate that the Horrible Histories cast deserve to be compared with some of the British comedy greats than this clip. They took a random historical fact and took it to its absurd, logical extreme in a 2-minute sketch.
Mat baynton looks incredible. I didn’t think I’d ever be attracted to someone in an SS uniform Btw the attraction has nothing to do with his uniform. Just is face and hair
Literally this was the same situation Stalin was in when he had a stroke and his guards were to scared to check on him until the next day by which time he was as good as dead.

In the east, the German army was being pushed back by the Russians. To the south, Benito Mussolini, the Italian dictator, had been arrested and was being kept hidden. Also, the German army under Field Marshall Albert Kesselring was struggling to keep Allied troops at bay in Italy. In the north, Germany’s atomic research suffered a major setback in Norway from which it would never recover. In the west, the Allies were turning German spies into double agents and convinced Germany that the invasion would come at Pas de Calais.
For those of you who don't know because this sketch doesn't mention it, there was a branch of German tanks who could only take orders from Hitler or Rommel. Since both were unaware of the invasion at first due to them thinking it was diversion from a different invasion that they thought the allies were planning (watch the movie or look up operation mince meat for more info on that) until it was too late and the allies had a stronger presence in Europe that would result in them winning the war.

He was in reality very kind to his personal staff. All his secretaries were very fond of him. He never forgot their birthdays and always gave them gifts.
@@CountdowniaI don’t think the comment is necessarily implying that hitler was a good person. Of course he was not. I think they’re just pointing out that his cruelty was not so expressed within his personal circle.
This is likely true. Hitler overall was a vile person whose actions killed millions of innocent people. However, on a one-to-one level, he had a reputation for being charming and strangely kind. That might explain why - beside the vigorous nationalism - he was able to rise to power. People might have heard negative things about him and found it had to reconcile upon actually meeting him in society. For example, he loved animals and was a vegetarian. If I recall, he instituted laws to decrease cruelty towards animals. He also enjoyed spending time with children as long as they fitted his ideals. A few years ago, I remembered reading a blurb from an author who was Jewish and had grown up in 1930s Germany. As a young boy, he had blond hair and blue eyes. He remembered a neighbor who would often play ball with him and even brought him an occasional treat. It was much later -after his family had fled Germany and he had grown up - that he found out the neighbor was a young Hitler.
@@Countdowniawe all know how monstrous his ideology was and how many deaths it led to, OP aint implying anything good about that. However, it is true that he was often described as polite and likeable in personal settings. Important for us to remember to differentiate personality from actions.
June 6, 1944. The Nazis were expecting the Allies to invade by crossing the Channel at the shortest point in good weather. Allied intelligence agents reinforced that expectation through falsehoods and lies to known Nazi sympathizers. Rommel, who was a military genius, was in Berlin to celebrate his wife's birthday. The invasion at Normandy was the 2nd major battle of the war he wasn't there for. The 1st was the Battle of El Alamein in North Africa. He wasn't there because he got sick. The beaches of Normandy are on the part of the Channel that is the farthest away from Great Britain. The weather on the morning of June 6, 1944 was terrible. The Allied Forces of Great Britain, the United States of America, and the Free French stormed the beaches with surprisingly lower than expected casualties. Paratroopers landed behind enemy lines and moved west while the boats unloaded soldiers going east. The beaches were divided into five landing areas for British, Canadian, and American troops. The beaches designated Omaha and Utah were given to the Americans while the beaches designated Gold, Juno, and Sword were given the British and Canadians. Hitler was the only person that could give the orders to mobilize the Panzer units that could've made a difference. He took a sleeping pill and gave orders not to be disturbed before the invasion began. The highest ranked officer to storm Utah Beach was General Theodore Roosevelt Jr, despite crippling arthritis. He died of a heart attack later on and is buried next to his brother who was killed during World War One. General Roosevelt was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for going above and beyond the call of duty in leading his men into battle.
Even if this show isn't completely factual, it's still a great way of getting children interested in history.. you can't deny that. And it is funny! :p
Fun fact: Hitler was vegetarian. Every place that he frequently stayed at had to have a second menu that was vegetarian just for him. I was pretty surprised when I found out about that.
I admit I do love this episode buuttttt there is a couple of inaccuracies: 1. He was at the Berghof because his future sister-in-law, Eva Braun's sister, was getting married to Hermann Fegelein (you probably know who he is) 2. Most of the time, he can be charming towards others, especially women, unless you were obviously a Communist or a Jew (besides his mother's doctor). He only gets angry during war conferences, as seen in the movie Downfall. Edit: he is still bad for killing 11 million people and starting a war.
Fegelein, for those of you who have not seen "Downfall", was Heinrich Himmler's number 2, and when Himmler decided to betray Hitler by throwing himself on the mercy of the Americans, Fegelein was who Hitler took his rage out on!
@@ElizabethMcCormick-s2nand he also often stars in RUclips parodies of the movie Downfall which are called Downfall Parodies. In those parodies he is often depicted as a person who loves committing antics and he often does so on the Austrian Painter and the rest of his Allie’s which annoys them. However whenever they try to stop him even by killing him Fegelein always comes back as he is immortal and therefore can’t be killed.
It's not false information, it's merely making light of a serious subject. When the second world war was in progress, the British people kept up moral by showing funny films of Hitler being a cock, Nazis goose stepping to funny music etc.
Most likely because swastika's are not allowed in Germany unless for education and EA does not want to make 2 versions because that would hurt their bottom line.
You *could* craft an argument that without a second front in Europe, it wasn't a forgone conclusion. a) Germany would save not insignificant amounts of materiel and b) without a second front the trust between Stalin and the others would be even weaker than it already was. I'm not saying it's likely, but its certainly *possible* that Germany would have held on well enough for a negotiated peace.
PavarottiAardvark there already was a second front by the start of 1944, Italy. Germany was in bad economic shape in 1943, with Speer’s appointment as Minister for Armaments a last roll of the economic dice from a dictatorship facing resource shortages. The Soviets were also in a position to launch Operation Bagration with or without a third front, which led to the single largest amount of land taken in a month during the whole war (I think)
PavarottiAardvark but it did take pressure off Germany and in any case, the economic and military problems Germany was facing in 1944 came irrespective of the beachhead at Normandy. Stalin too had been satisfied in 1942, at a meeting with Churchill, that Britain would attack the ‘soft underbelly’ of the German crocodile by attacking Italy. The stance at Yalta likely came because Stalin knew the allies could open a third front as to distract from operation Bagration, which aided his war aims. However, Germany was already on the ropes by 1944
Can we just appreciate how this children's show that a good amount of the British public could take the piss out of Hitler and show Nazi symbols. While today people get so offended about any mention or allusion to that part of history. Obviously most people are completely fine and understanding but the fact that this was fine for children but now any media talking a about the Nazis in a non serious way gets heavy backlash is funny to me.
hotelmario510 not anymore you horses ass. You are the reason we are slowly becoming a nation of pussies. Do me a favor go out in public with a mask please
@@hotelmario510 well, the NAZIS are no longer a faction that has any power. Besides, we can't just erase the NAZI symbols. We need to remember history in the present to make a better future.

...are you willfully ignorant? It’s a historical sketch _about nazis_ ofc they used Nazi imagery. And it’s _from_ “today.” The show existed within the last decade. Stop trying to make “political correction has gone too far!” happen. It’s never going to happen. Fucking Jojo Rabbit came out after this show aired.

Cuz its part of History. look they even got away when showing the Swaztika (even tho it is an acient symble, it’s annoying some history programs replaces it with the Iron cross)

June 6, 1944. The Nazis were expecting the Allies to invade by crossing the Channel at the shortest point in good weather. Allied intelligence agents reinforced that expectation through falsehoods and lies to known Nazi sympathizers. Rommel, who was a military genius, was in Berlin to celebrate his wife's birthday. The invasion at Normandy was the 2nd major battle of the war he wasn't there for. The 1st was the Battle of El Alamein in North Africa. He wasn't there because he got sick. The beaches of Normandy are on the part of the Channel that is the farthest away from Great Britain. The weather on the morning of June 6, 1944 was terrible. The Allied Forces of Great Britain, the United States of America, and the Free French stormed the beaches with surprisingly lower than expected casualties. Paratroopers landed behind enemy lines and moved west while the boats unloaded soldiers going east. The beaches were divided into five landing areas for British, Canadian, and American troops. The beaches designated Omaha and Utah were given to the Americans while the beaches designated Gold, Juno, and Sword were given the British and Canadians. Hitler was the only person that could give the orders to mobilize the Panzer units that could've made a difference. He took a sleeping pill and gave orders not to be disturbed before the invasion began. The highest ranked officer to storm Utah Beach was General Theodore Roosevelt Jr, despite crippling arthritis. He died of a heart attack later on and is buried next to his brother who was killed during World War One. General Roosevelt was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for going above and beyond the call of duty in leading his men into battle.
Haha hilarious, And for Stalin even worse, Frequently shooting his generals and most loyal subjects!
Even if this show isn't completely factual, it's still a great way of getting children interested in history.. you can't deny that. And it is funny! :p
misshello6789 out of curiosity do you feel the same way 7 years later?
Leutnant Gruber would've saved the day with his "zittle tenk"

@@baileychisholm3255 I stand corrected. And later to become an Oberleutnant.
Yes if herr flick and smallhousen had not crushed them
mr grumpy pants
"Rommel had taken time off for his wife's birthday"
My oh my, Such a powerful Wife OwO I sure hope my husband would do the same! Haha!
That's an SS officer, he'll most likely return home expecting his wife to do everything for him lmao.
@@GattoPNG what Rommel wasn't apart of the SS, in fact he hated those fuckers.
Fun fact: Hitler was vegetarian. Every place that he frequently stayed at had to have a second menu that was vegetarian just for him.
I was pretty surprised when I found out about that.
Tube up his nose, tube up his nose
I admit I do love this episode buuttttt there is a couple of inaccuracies:
1. He was at the Berghof because his future sister-in-law, Eva Braun's sister, was getting married to Hermann Fegelein (you probably know who he is)
2. Most of the time, he can be charming towards others, especially women, unless you were obviously a Communist or a Jew (besides his mother's doctor). He only gets angry during war conferences, as seen in the movie Downfall.
Edit: he is still bad for killing 11 million people and starting a war.
That does better explain why he was in Vacation mode: more concerned with the wedding than the rumors of allied troop movements
Fegelein, for those of you who have not seen "Downfall", was Heinrich Himmler's number 2, and when Himmler decided to betray Hitler by throwing himself on the mercy of the Americans, Fegelein was who Hitler took his rage out on!
@@ElizabethMcCormick-s2nand he also often stars in RUclips parodies of the movie Downfall which are called Downfall Parodies. In those parodies he is often depicted as a person who loves committing antics and he often does so on the Austrian Painter and the rest of his Allie’s which annoys them. However whenever they try to stop him even by killing him Fegelein always comes back as he is immortal and therefore can’t be killed.
We love these guys even when they're playing the worst people in history
It's not false information, it's merely making light of a serious subject. When the second world war was in progress, the British people kept up moral by showing funny films of Hitler being a cock, Nazis goose stepping to funny music etc.
its so funny to me that sehr is very in german and they keep saying sehr
How tf has Horrible histories got the swastika and a 18+ game called Battlefield 5 hasn't got any.
Most likely because swastika's are not allowed in Germany unless for education and EA does not want to make 2 versions because that would hurt their bottom line.
well he will...he will... get in such a paddy. such a paddy he'll get in. I dont care about the paddy!! XD
I read that just as he said it
What does that mean?
LilPorcelynDoll I dunno this was 8 years ago
0:52 Could you imagine Monty or Patton taking time off an invasion for their wives' birthday?
Good job Gove isn't in charge of the army ....
@@AngelaH2222 Can you explain that, please?
Never heard of Gove.
@@carlbirtles4518 it's a British thing, Google Barnard Castle, wife's birthday & Gove 😄
Rommel thought it ok to leave because bad weather was forecast for the channel.
I mean Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin took a road trip through Egypt before D Day.
When Hitler woke up he actually got really exited that the invasion had finely come
A lot to be said about the UK if this is the level of their kids tv shows.
My favorite is the general of the 21st panzer div, who left to Paris to spend some quality times with his mistress. Without telling anyone.
A sad fact is you wouldn't be able to write something like this today, it's be banned for hateful imagery or something similair
They’re still making horrible histories you dimwit.
Why oh why did we just NOW see these videos.
I didn't get to sleep last night either...
Conclusion: never make a corporal a ruler of an industrialised county!.... or any country for that matter!!
Gerrard and Simon from Peep Show as Hitler's bodyguards. Now we know the true origins of the Dobby Club...
It all makes sense now.
Lesson: don't be mean to those who guard you. A lesson many dummkopfs never learned.
I love that the videos are good quality, you can acc here the actors and actresses and you can comment. It's amazing
That one actually suits Stalin much more :D His guards were trully terified of him.
It suits Hitler just as much if not more.
Yes but it would be a bit deep to go into the mental state of a Soviet leader in a kids show don't you think?
@@willcatherall8159 More than a Nazi monster?
I love the way he says 'Honestly!' :D
Don't wake up hitler
May, no
Laurence nailed that german at 2:05
I mean...Germany was already losing the war in 1944, but this is pretty funny
You *could* craft an argument that without a second front in Europe, it wasn't a forgone conclusion. a) Germany would save not insignificant amounts of materiel and b) without a second front the trust between Stalin and the others would be even weaker than it already was.
I'm not saying it's likely, but its certainly *possible* that Germany would have held on well enough for a negotiated peace.
PavarottiAardvark there already was a second front by the start of 1944, Italy. Germany was in bad economic shape in 1943, with Speer’s appointment as Minister for Armaments a last roll of the economic dice from a dictatorship facing resource shortages. The Soviets were also in a position to launch Operation Bagration with or without a third front, which led to the single largest amount of land taken in a month during the whole war (I think)
Stalin did not consider Italy to be a sufficient fulfilment of the promise for a "Second Front", as the Tehran Conference made clear.
PavarottiAardvark but it did take pressure off Germany and in any case, the economic and military problems Germany was facing in 1944 came irrespective of the beachhead at Normandy.
Stalin too had been satisfied in 1942, at a meeting with Churchill, that Britain would attack the ‘soft underbelly’ of the German crocodile by attacking Italy. The stance at Yalta likely came because Stalin knew the allies could open a third front as to distract from operation Bagration, which aided his war aims. However, Germany was already on the ropes by 1944
is really fun, see the soldier who wanted to warn the fuhrer, the D-DAY.
That is hilarious. I hate marmalade+ I have never tried an apple strudel. I like the use of stupid in there ( Dumkorf)
*Dummkopf
Haha, almost- dummkopf. Nice translating :) (I've seen some really weird translations of 'dummkopf'...)
Can we just appreciate how this children's show that a good amount of the British public could take the piss out of Hitler and show Nazi symbols. While today people get so offended about any mention or allusion to that part of history. Obviously most people are completely fine and understanding but the fact that this was fine for children but now any media talking a about the Nazis in a non serious way gets heavy backlash is funny to me.
probably because the Nazis are actually a material threat and are out plotting to murder people, you fucking idiot
hotelmario510 not anymore you horses ass. You are the reason we are slowly becoming a nation of pussies. Do me a favor go out in public with a mask please
@@hotelmario510 well, the NAZIS are no longer a faction that has any power. Besides, we can't just erase the NAZI symbols. We need to remember history in the present to make a better future. If we try to forget the evil in the past, that allows evil in this time to slip through without anyone realizing it due to no one seeing the signs.
...are you willfully ignorant? It’s a historical sketch _about nazis_ ofc they used Nazi imagery. And it’s _from_ “today.” The show existed within the last decade. Stop trying to make “political correction has gone too far!” happen. It’s never going to happen.
Fucking Jojo Rabbit came out after this show aired.
This was a few years ago, not decades ago. Literally nobody has ever been offended by this, except for maybe some neo-nazis. You're just making things up to whinge about.
Some snowflake will probably get angry because they had bad accents
Enjoying marmalade might not be the worst thing about Hitler.
But it’s close.
mats laugh, gets me every time XD
i agree!!! XD
Jim: You vant me to go inzer and wake up mister grumpy pants-
Mat: (Impersonating Adolf Hitler) VAT ARE YOU DOING?? I ISSUED ORDERS TO SLEEP UNTILL TWELVE!!!!
Jim: ...and tell him zat unless he vakes up, we are going to loose ze vaw?"
Larry: YAH!!!
XD
That private seems to have a bit of difficulty understanding the concept of "rank", the guy who came out with Hitler's breakfast orders is a second lieutenant...
I think that private didn't give a damn at the time and neither would I.
WACK HIM UP WACK HIM UP WACK HIM UP !!!
Is that the guy from peep show?
Even children will think this is over the top and campy.
Germany lost ww2 because they wouldn't wake Hitler. Genius.
How did this show air with the SS logo on the uniforms 🤣🤣
Cuz its part of History. look they even got away when showing the Swaztika (even tho it is an acient symble, it’s annoying some history programs replaces it with the Iron cross)
because it's an educational children's show
You were brought here by RUclips algorithm 8 years later the video was made
These guys don’t look very Arien my immersion is ruined smh
Wow, no wonder he lost the war!
I only wish this series had been around when I was learning history!
And because we beat the Germans about two times
I feel like it would be funnier if a Downfall parody was intersected in between their argument.
the amount of people in this comments section not realising this is from a childrens show is shocking lmfao
I really hope this is exactly how it went down when they were contemplating whether or not to wake Hitler
He's not actually sleeping, he's just yelling about whatever on the Internet
It's weird seeing them as Germans and not ghosts.
Something I didn't understand about horrible history is that it never touched on the Soviet Union or the cold War it just stopped at ww2
There were some great sketches about the Space Race, but yes, the Cold War was indeed horrible and ripe for parody
The title had me laughing from the start it’s preposterous , don’t wake the commander in chief lmao 🤣 not like it’s his job or anything
I've often wondered what happened to the cast of 'Allo 'Allo
Imagine an r rated horrible histories that would be awesome
love how a kids show can show swastikas yet bf5, a ww2 18+ game cant show them haha
CrackHead Energy it came out before the rise of sensitivity
@@itzimperiumxvi2620 this show isnt that old bruh
