Totally agree! I got a journalism degree in 1989. What we learned, what we did 30 years ago- felt like news reporting. These days- anyone and everyone feels like they are Woodward and Bernstein!

Some say that it was he that instigated the night of broken glass, and when Hitler was informed (he was at the Bergholt at the time), he was absolutely livid with Goebbels, so much so that he was lucky not to have been shot.
For the few that might be wondering: After being blacklisted, Anneliese Uhlig initially moved to Italy and worked as an actress there. She later became an American citizen and worked as a journalist for over two decades (including reporting from the White House). The also worked as a producer in theater and held university lectures. In the 70s and 80s, she regularly appeared in german TV series and -movies. She died two months before her 99th birthday in 2017. I'd say she thoroughly proved Goebbels threat of her never having a career in the movies wrong.

The important thing about Goebbels philosophy of Propaganda is that he was adamant that all propaganda be based on true events. And this is where the connection to Fake News becomes crucial. The major difference today is that instead of having one Big Brother we have millions of little propagandists for every cause. And finding out what actually happened gets harder and harder.

By the way, at 7:29 you see a family portrait of the Goebbels family. The man in the uniform at the top of the picture is Harald Quandt, who after WWII, along with his brother, took over BMW. The picture is actually doctored; Harald Quandt was in the field when the picture was taken and his image was added on order of Joseph Goebbels himself.
Apparently during his time in university, he was on the verge of suicide, he discovered his girlfriend was in an affair whilst also rejecting his proposal, he also got into debt and was unable to pay for his fees, he then drew up a will, his brother was his literary executor. After their father heard about this, he said he would borrow money so Joseph could finish his studies, he then withdrew from his threat to commit suicide.

This “fake” story youre referring to was the assassination of Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan which was in paris, which btw totally happened. Also this was in 1938 not 1939.
He might have mixed the von Rath murder with the Reichstag fire, which although it was real, the guy who was murdered for it was not guilty. The fire was orchestrated by Nazis to give Hitler an excuse for the emergency powers & martial law. Later, they used a ruse with Nazis in Polish uniforms destroying an independent radio station near Polish border, so they killed two birds with one stone: a) got rid of an independent radio station and b) got their excuse to invade Poland. Bush later just flat out lied that Saddam was personally responsible for 9/11 when he knew it was bin Laden and other Saudi extremists, and of course most of Al Qaida and IS terrorism has been funded from Saudi Arabia, and the extremist Imams in Europe are Saudi trained. Fucked up, right?

@Angus Maxwellton And you accept all Soviet "investigations" as gospel? First, there are no witnesses on record as to who lit the fire. Second, Lubbe was found in the building unconscious, clearly at least drunk as hell, and unable to account for the events. Third, the Soviets read the documents relating to the case and said they thought Lubbe _probably_ was guilty. Van der Lubbe was a _former_ Dutch communist, which might have motivated him to move to Germany where fascism was clearly on the rise. That they even found out he had been a member of Dutch communist party tells me he was a convenient patsy. Nazis were devious and full of crazy conspiracy theories, so it's not far fetched to think Lubbe fulfills their desire to put someone in the frame for the fire. I don't think that the fire was not intended to destroy the building, after all it would have been difficult to identify Lubbe if he had been found burnt to crisp in the fire. DNA testing was 60 years in the future. That he was a _foreigner_ was also very convenient. After all, it fits perfectly into "Ausländer raus" (foreigners out) ideology. Just like Drumpf today, Hitler had a primary enemy in the beginning: foreigners. It was their fault that Weimar republic was in trouble, just like "immigrants" are blamed for imaginary crimes and supposed hardship. Apparently "Mexicans" are the cause of fiscal troubles in states where there practically none. All of the white Americans are immigrants as much as Hispanic Californians who are descendants of people who lived in the area when it was won from Mexico in a war. But in that sense, all problems in the wider society in the US are immigrants' fault. Van der Lubbe's "confession" then. I doubt he volunteered his confession. There were lots of Nazis in German police force, like there are neo-fascist elements inside practically all US police departments today. Fascists and other authoritarian people are drawn to law enforcement, because that gives them a chance to exercise authority over others, often without check. I grant that it's _possible_ van der Lubbe lit the fire but he's just a little bit too convenient a culprit for the crime that actually made Hitler dictator for life. I'm not fully convinced that he was guilty. I think no jury would convict van der Lubbe in an American court if his defence lawyer were awake, because there's plenty of holes in the prosecution's case. In Scotland they have a third verdict of _not proven_ which leaves the case open, which avoids double jeopardy in case new evidence comes to light after trial. My verdict for van der is *not proven* and it would require more evidence to convince me.
Many have a fascination with the Nazi's to this day. "How could such a seemingly civilized people be so easily coerced into monsters by a group of idiotic thugs??" It tugs at the back of our minds. Yet, it's so simple! The power of editing is the most effective tool on a simple mind. Once you can control what information the public can and can't see, you can make them believe anything. Oh.....and it never hurts to tell them all they're great and better than everyone else. People love to believe that one!
It was also the perfect climate in Germany to break out such radical rhetoric since they were getting manhandled by the Treaty of Versailles mixed with the Depression, then the situation was made worse when they started printing money with no financial backing. Germans were suffering and wanted someone to blame, and the Nazis gave them their scapegoat. Goebbels was a master manipulator, and knew exactly how to rile up a good old fashioned blood frenzy. If you can convince everyone to not trust anyone but you, they’ll be eating out of your hand.
I don't have to believe, I know I am better than everyone else : ). Also didn't the Germans make sure those pesky bad foreigners never came in to ruin their truth by limiting immigration.
Today censorship, mass manipulation and fascism thrives under pretended crisis. People are in the spell and big business, government and media are becoming a deadly cocktail of creating totalitarian fascist states. Welcome to the era of the Beast. Even science become more and more corrupt and one sided. The 'corona' era proofed false data, lack of open debate, censorship, and a very hollow and almost defenseless democracy transitioning more and more in to a technocratic, totalitarian fascist society all over the world. Yes, this is the era of the Beast. Be ready. This is going to be a very, very ruff ride.
As you peel back the layers on all of histories monsters you find how utterly human and understandable they are, which is what's so scary. We'd like to think we're different, that we'd never EVER make those choices, but the truth stares us in the face every time u hear another one of these biographies. These nazis are Barb and Jim from up the street, man. They're so normal it hurts, even down to him being a ďbag, who, when given the slightest power, used it to fulfill his fantasies of banging actresses and ease his sexual repression he's felt since childhood in the most expedient and unhealthy way. I mean it's clear he liked sex, they had 6 children for god's sake, but also clear that anyone who gets married without sowing those wild oats is probably gonna cheat at some point. Whatever point is, his story is no different than a thousand others, till he befriends a guy named Hitler.
MetaSynForYourSoul Just because he had six children doesn’t mean he’s “obsessed with sex” most people had lots of children in those time, plus the NSDAP were big advocates for increased birth rates to keep the population high as a pose to immigration, like in Britain and France at the time. Having many children was very normal back then.
@@nosamsemaj9150 Wow it's like you missed my entire point, which wasn't about sex obsession. I never said "obsessed with sex" I said it was clear he liked it. I don't really see how you can even deny that. The guy was willing to basically throw away his whole life, in a metaphorical sense for some strange on the side. And he kept up affair after affair with all these beautiful women. How can you say the man didn't like sex?
@@nosamsemaj9150 But how do you GET THE KIDS?! SEEEEEEEXXXXX!!! If he didn't like it, it's highly unlikely that he would've had that many. Also if he didn't like it he wouldn't have pursued extramarital affairs. If you just want kids without sex, you adopt. I... I'm sorry, I'm having trouble deriving your argument here. Will I admit it's impossible to know the mind of a dead man? Of course! There's no way to know for certain, but there are inferences we can make based on the facts in evidence which is what I'm doing. I can easily admit I might be wrong, but there's a whole lotta smoke for the not to be a fire, ya feel me?
@@nosamsemaj9150 Also Saying he had kids because he liked sex is misreading the situation. The sex he liked, children is either a side effect or a bonus depending on point of view.
It's said that when Goebels 9 year old son Helmut heard the gun shot from Hitler killing himself he thought it was an allied bomb being dropped and he yelled "That's a bullseye!"
Sounds like something BLM would chant. I mean... not saying BLM is nazis. I really hope my house isn't burned down with me inside for daring to speak this.
I find these biographies interesting. As a history buff I totally believe that if we don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. What I find really interesting is the parallels between what happened then and how some world leaders are acting today. It's in the history books (or these videos for those who don't want to read a thick book).

"Total War" was what Joseph Goebbels called for in 1943 when the Nazis were starting to lose the war, not in 1941 when he called for war against the Russians. Otherwise, this is an incredibly well-informed film.
@@Dan-TheOracle In all honesty the only person that would care about whether I am a jew or not would be neo nazi or an arab. Nobody else cares. I did debunk the video. My thread was deleted by the poster of the video (in proper fascist fashion).
One thing I take issue with is actually a single sentence "The German invasion of Russia was their downfall because the German army couldn't handle the Russian winter." While this is in part true, the Soviets were having the same problems as the German army and barely handled them any better. While the cold slowed them down, it also slowed the Red Army down just as much. If all Russia had going for it was the cold, then Germany would have handily won. However, ultimately the Red Army was able to defeat the Germans in battle, which is the main cause of Germany's defeat in Russia, had Germany been able to defeat Russia in a pitched battle then Russia would have lost, winter or no winter.
it has to be said that the level of sacrifice on the Soviet part (not only ethnic Russians fought in the Red Army) was immense. I'm from 'round these parts and the war left a huge scar on all of us. Most of us have someone in our family tree who either fought and/or died in the war. Lots of really heartfelt songs about the war. I'm no supporter of the SU but I'm an anarchist communist who lost great grand relatives who tried to defend us from fascism, and I'm eternally grateful to the soldiers who fought fearlessly for their motherland and Europe as a whole. Never forget
The winter's effect on equipment was similar, however the German soldiers were not provided with winter clothing, while the Russians were. Also, German supply lines were longer, and winter slows that. But you are right, it was not all due to weather, US lend-lease was a major factor. The US gave the Russians a huge amount of equipment, 500,000 Jeeps and trucks, 12,000 armored vehicles including 7,000 tanks and 11,500 aircraft, and 1.75 million tons of food. Food was very scarce in Germany. Would have been in Russia too.
Obviously not just as much. They were Losing Stalingrad. And then previered when it pushed into the winter. I do see what you're saying. Yes it is true. If the winter is all they had going for them. Then the Germans just would have beaten them when it came spring. Put depressions are better at fighting in the winter.
@@oddballtherighteous6681 Nobody's in favor of abortions at 9 months. The New York law only permits abortions if the fetus is nonviable (going to die as soon as it's born or before) or the life of the mother is in danger. In other words, medical reasons. And no woman is going to carry a healthy pregnancy to term before she decides she doesn't want the baby. Most abortions are performed when the "baby" is just a clump of cells. Late term abortions are a very, very tiny percentage of all abortions and then only done for medical reasons. Educate yourself with sources other than Fox News.
It's a pity the english language lacks a proper translation for the german term "Mitläufer" ("someone who runs along/goes along with something"). It's a great way to describe what happened with most citizens; They weren't real Nazis, but they went along with it.
@@Janellabelle "Sheep" sounds like a group that has no will of it's own. Fits in some respects, but a "Mitläufer" just goes along for the sake of convenience.
Really enjoyed these videos. Very historical & you get an idea of how the life was on certain individuals you only hear about. Honestly I’ve learned more stuff from watching your videos than they teach about in school.
It isn't very historical. He cites treatment of Polish Jews by the Nazis as cause for dishevelment when the film was released prior to war with Poland. He also claims Herschel Grynszpan never assassinated Ernst vom Rath, which he did, while citing the wrong year for the event anyhow. Also he claims Hitler told Goebbels and his wife to give it a 3 month shot while in reality the period was closer to a year. Additionally there are wild guesses about "jealousy" regarding superior literary talent while the primary library whose books was destroyed was that of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, which was by no stretch a literary outlet. It was a sexual psychology research institution that wrote about transgenderism, homosexuality, and other sexual subcultures that the Nazis abhorred.
That moment when you realize that a simple divorce could have saved millions of lives. After his monumental fail to escape with his ''lover by force'' he did all he could to create even more hatred if it was possible and apparently it was.
Dont worry man, there is hope all around us even in if we cant see it. stand firm and live on! and try to avoid TV, just watch more utube like this channel or games

Many might say, "well, that's because historical hindsight granted you critical leverage," but groups of people dancing in perfect time with one another has always creeped me out.

Just because a bunch of idiots all believe something doesn't make it true, or right. 50 million of those jackasses followed that idiot to ruin.

If you can convince everyone to not trust anyone but you, they’ll be eating out of your hand.
I don't have to believe, I know I am better than everyone else : ). Also didn't the Germans make sure those pesky bad foreigners never came in to ruin their truth by limiting immigration.

Today censorship, mass manipulation and fascism thrives under pretended crisis. People are in the spell and big business, government and media are becoming a deadly cocktail of creating totalitarian fascist states. Welcome to the era of the Beast.
Even science become more and more corrupt and one sided.

Yes, this is the era of the Beast. Be ready. This is going to be a very, very ruff ride.
As you peel back the layers on all of histories monsters you find how utterly human and understandable they are, which is what's so scary. We'd like to think we're different, that we'd never EVER make those choices, but the truth stares us in the face every time u hear another one of these biographies. These nazis are Barb and Jim from up the street, man. They're so normal it hurts, even down to him being a ďbag, who, when given the slightest power, used it to fulfill his fantasies of banging actresses and ease his sexual repression he's felt since childhood in the most expedient and unhealthy way. I mean it's clear he liked sex, they had 6 children for god's sake, but also clear that anyone who gets married without sowing those wild oats is probably gonna cheat at some point. Whatever point is, his story is no different than a thousand others, till he befriends a guy named Hitler.
MetaSynForYourSoul
Just because he had six children doesn’t mean he’s “obsessed with sex” most people had lots of children in those time, plus the NSDAP were big advocates for increased birth rates to keep the population high as a pose to immigration, like in Britain and France at the time.
Having many children was very normal back then.
@@nosamsemaj9150 Wow it's like you missed my entire point, which wasn't about sex obsession. I never said "obsessed with sex" I said it was clear he liked it. I don't really see how you can even deny that. The guy was willing to basically throw away his whole life, in a metaphorical sense for some strange on the side. And he kept up affair after affair with all these beautiful women. How can you say the man didn't like sex?
@@MetaSynForYourSoul
You're claiming that his reasoning for having six kids was because he liked sex... lol Maybe he just wanted kids?
@@nosamsemaj9150 But how do you GET THE KIDS?! SEEEEEEEXXXXX!!! If he didn't like it, it's highly unlikely that he would've had that many. Also if he didn't like it he wouldn't have pursued extramarital affairs. If you just want kids without sex, you adopt. I... I'm sorry, I'm having trouble deriving your argument here.
Will I admit it's impossible to know the mind of a dead man? Of course! There's no way to know for certain, but there are inferences we can make based on the facts in evidence which is what I'm doing. I can easily admit I might be wrong, but there's a whole lotta smoke for the not to be a fire, ya feel me?
@@nosamsemaj9150 Also Saying he had kids because he liked sex is misreading the situation. The sex he liked, children is either a side effect or a bonus depending on point of view.
The death photos of Goebbels and his children and wife are gruesome.
Nah, while sad and gruesome applies for the children, it's the best photo ever taken of the adult Göbbels.
Not as gruesome of the pics taken of the Camps.

I find these biographies interesting. As a history buff I totally believe that if we don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. What I find really interesting is the parallels between what happened then and how some world leaders are acting today. It's in the history books (or these videos for those who don't want to read a thick book).

In Nazi Germany, assisted suicide was the choice of the government not of the individual patient.

"Total War" was what Joseph Goebbels called for in 1943 when the Nazis were starting to lose the war, not in 1941 when he called for war against the Russians. Otherwise, this is an incredibly well-informed film.

@@Dan-TheOracle the greatest story never told is modern Nazi propaganda(rubbish). How appropriate lol.
It's because these stories are generally not told. It's important to know about history. This video is almost gives perspective on media.
@@Dan-TheOracle If you were unable to debunk that particular video you didn't try very hard.
@@tedmessner6980 Go push your nonsense on somebody a bit more gullible.
@@Dan-TheOracle In all honesty the only person that would care about whether I am a jew or not would be neo nazi or an arab. Nobody else cares.
I did debunk the video. My thread was deleted by the poster of the video (in proper fascist fashion).
One thing I take issue with is actually a single sentence "The German invasion of Russia was their downfall because the German army couldn't handle the Russian winter." While this is in part true, the Soviets were having the same problems as the German army and barely handled them any better. While the cold slowed them down, it also slowed the Red Army down just as much. If all Russia had going for it was the cold, then Germany would have handily won. However, ultimately the Red Army was able to defeat the Germans in battle, which is the main cause of Germany's defeat in Russia, had Germany been able to defeat Russia in a pitched battle then Russia would have lost, winter or no winter.
it has to be said that the level of sacrifice on the Soviet part (not only ethnic Russians fought in the Red Army) was immense. I'm from 'round these parts and the war left a huge scar on all of us. Most of us have someone in our family tree who either fought and/or died in the war. Lots of really heartfelt songs about the war.
I'm no supporter of the SU but I'm an anarchist communist who lost great grand relatives who tried to defend us from fascism, and I'm eternally grateful to the soldiers who fought fearlessly for their motherland and Europe as a whole. Never forget
The winter's effect on equipment was similar, however the German soldiers were not provided with winter clothing, while the Russians were. Also, German supply lines were longer, and winter slows that.
But you are right, it was not all due to weather, US lend-lease was a major factor. The US gave the Russians a huge amount of equipment, 500,000 Jeeps and trucks, 12,000 armored vehicles including 7,000 tanks and 11,500 aircraft, and 1.75 million tons of food. Food was very scarce in Germany. Would have been in Russia too.
@@aleksanderabramov8025 "anarchist communist" lmfao are we 14?
Obviously not just as much. They were Losing Stalingrad. And then previered when it pushed into the winter. I do see what you're saying. Yes it is true. If the winter is all they had going for them. Then the Germans just would have beaten them when it came spring. Put depressions are better at fighting in the winter.

@@eddied.5156 aparantly Far left Democrats (socialists) with the assisted suicide of 9 month old embryos, remember kids, wrap before you tap
@@oddballtherighteous6681 Nobody's in favor of abortions at 9 months. The New York law only permits abortions if the fetus is nonviable (going to die as soon as it's born or before) or the life of the mother is in danger. In other words, medical reasons. And no woman is going to carry a healthy pregnancy to term before she decides she doesn't want the baby. Most abortions are performed when the "baby" is just a clump of cells. Late term abortions are a very, very tiny percentage of all abortions and then only done for medical reasons. Educate yourself with sources other than Fox News.
They didn’t really “...all become Nazis...”, there was opposition. It was just smashed or sent to prison.
It's a pity the english language lacks a proper translation for the german term "Mitläufer" ("someone who runs along/goes along with something").

Really enjoyed these videos. Very historical & you get an idea of how the life was on certain individuals you only hear about. Honestly I’ve learned more stuff from watching your videos than they teach about in school.
It isn't very historical. He cites treatment of Polish Jews by the Nazis as cause for dishevelment when the film was released prior to war with Poland. He also claims Herschel Grynszpan never assassinated Ernst vom Rath, which he did, while citing the wrong year for the event anyhow. Also he claims Hitler told Goebbels and his wife to give it a 3 month shot while in reality the period was closer to a year.
Additionally there are wild guesses about "jealousy" regarding superior literary talent while the primary library whose books was destroyed was that of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, which was by no stretch a literary outlet. It was a sexual psychology research institution that wrote about transgenderism, homosexuality, and other sexual subcultures that the Nazis abhorred.

Some of the propaganda films that goebbels made are actually good, like the Titanic one. Possibly one of my favourite old black and white films
I got about 5 minutes into Triumph of the Will before I determined, "these people are all psychotic." Many might say, "well, that's because historical hindsight granted you critical leverage," but groups of people dancing in perfect time with one another has always creeped me out. Especially when they all fucking look alike. The Nazis might all help us learn one lesson, if they did nothing else positive for mankind. Just because a bunch of idiots all believe something doesn't make it true, or right. 50 million of those jackasses followed that idiot to ruin. I wonder if any women in Berlin getting raped by a dozen Soviets simultaneously thought, "You know, looking back at it that guy was pretty angry!"
