WoT sucks terribly. I played for the last 6 years and its done nothing but get worse for play with every release. The games are rigged with a RNG and it really hurts play. Not only that, they were blackmailed recently by Russian developers to allow all their banned cheaters back on. So not only are the games rigged, you have to deal with all the cheaters that were once banned for cheating.
The narrator sounds very similar to the late Peter Jones, the actor who was The Book in the BBC radio’s first broadcast of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy.
The way he was disgusted by the gore during the shooting of innocents in front of him but seemingly held no disgust at the fact they were innocents being murdered. To me he sums up the banality of evil, organising mass death in a purely cold and clinical way.
These documentaries are tv quality. The narrator is great, feels very professional in his delivery. And the rollling images suit the video. It doesn't feel like a "RUclips documentary"

Amazing video, these People Profiles are absolutely great. I think it's so interesting that the location of Himmler's grave is unknown. I always think about that, you know there is someone out there that knows more about it.
@@michaelblankenau6598 It's interesting because it's unmarked and allegedly nobody knows the location. However, Heydrich's grave is also unmarked but somehow graverobbers targeted it in 2019 and it was confirmed to be Heydrich's grave. How did they know where the grave is? I just think it's fascinating.

I like to know more about the Blackshirts, Benito Mussolini, and everything about the Fascist Italy. It seems that everybody likes to talk about Nazi Germany and Soviet Union. I don’t know enough about Fascist Italy. I am happy that you made a documentary about Henrich Himmler.
Excellent job in differentiating the phases of the Holocaust: from the einsatzgruppen murders to the assembly-line death camps. I'm glad to see more Holocaust-related material on YT of late. When rappers and other fools start parroting anti-semitic ideas, one realizes that keeping the vile reality hidden hasn't exactly worked toward advancing society, RUclips.
You stupid or what? Rapper you meant " Ye"? If yes, he is speaking the truth about entertainment industry which runs by some corrupt Jews!! Nothing related to Holocaust but as usual sensitive jews relate any criticism to that!
I've just read a worrying comment on this video. Someone noted astutely that Himmler found himself squeamish witnessing the execution of civilians yet continued to organise and streamline the murder of innocents. Someone answered "Were they innocent though? They might have been NKVD or something. It's chilling seeing that people are watching this, probably because they admire Himmler. I feel sick. I have to change to something else 😢
Really glad this showed up in my recommends. I know a little about Goebbels but not much about Himmler. Also I totally subscribed. What a well presented documentary!!!
Thank-you People Profiles for another superb video. The sad thing about all of this. Besides the millions of people this demon helped murder. He escaped being tried at Nuremberg , and given his appointment with the hangman.
It is odd; the man was small and rather frail and wore Coke-bottle glasses. (No offense to anyone, I wear thick lenses myself). Hitler similarly fell far short of the handsome Aryan ideal. The group photos of the Nazi leaders resemble a scene from Revenge of the Nerds.
Growing up I doubt Himmler was not evil up to a point. Though I don't think It was a sudden thing, a great deal of calculated, long thought out, and full willingness behind that drive then carry it out at scale. That's a long time that grudge had time to grow. It consumed him too
I think Himmler "found his tribe" in the Nazis, and they enabled him as such camaraderie does. I'm still bewildered at the unbelievable horror he wrought onto the world --- nature, nurture, opportunity?? But being part of this malignant group of individuals was no doubt a factor.
Nice to see a good game like world of tanks as a sponsor. Yes it it’s a live service game with premium currency and accounts to accelerate progress but it’s a good game and I’ve played a ton of it along with world or warships. You guys make great stuff. I always seek out your videos when I’m looking for a person. I was watching Downfall and wanted to refresh my memory on Himmler. It seems like you’ve covered almost everyone haha
I’ve been saying for years that Himmler was a much nastier person then most Nazis. I have even argued in the past the he was equal to if not worse than Hitler in some regards. Yes Hitler was the leader and he called the shots but anyone can say “let’s kill 10 million people” but it take a worse person to go out and actually implement that order. I will forever believe that Himmler was a driving force towards the holocaust. There have even been stories told where Himmler was working on ways to “eradicate” mass groups of people prior to the “final solution” part of the war. Thus meaning he was already carrying out his on personal “final solution” beforehand
I listened to a few of your documentaries recently and they are all excellent but this one was exceptionally great. Thank you for your work, I can't wait to see what's next
Poland lost almost 2.9 million non Jewish citizens and close to 3 million Polish Jews. Poland was never paid reparations by Germany. Even with that Poland is emerging as the leader only 34 years after communism was toppled!!
Thank you for your work in History.Important is the Slovak invasion of Poland occurred during Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland in September 1939. The recently created Slovak Republic joined the attack, and Field Army Bernolák contributed over 50,000 soldiers in three divisions. Since most of the Polish forces were engaged with the German armies, which were more to the north of the southern border, the Slovak invasion met only weak resistance and suffered minimal losses. During secret discussions with the Germans on July 20-21, 1939, the Slovak government agreed to participate in Germany's planned attack on Poland and to allow Germany to use Slovak territory as the staging area for German troops. On August 26, Slovakia mobilised its armed forces and established a new field army, codenamed "Bernolák", with 51,306 soldiers. Additionally, 160,000 reservists were called up, with 115,000 entering service until September 20, 1939. The attack started without a formal declaration of war on September 1, 1939, at 5:00 a.m. The 1st division occupied the village of Javorina and the town of Zakopane and continued toward Nowy Targ to protect the German 2nd Mountain Division from the left.[1]: 50 On September 4 and 5, it engaged in fighting with regular Polish Army units. On September 7, the division stopped its advance 30 km inside Polish territory. Later, the division was pulled back, with one battalion remaining until September 29 to occupy Zakopane, Jurgów and Javorina. Thank you!
Bruno Gesche do one on him! He as there from the beginning. If you can say one thing like his driver. He found jobs close to him for those he had around for years. Stalin didn’t have anyone after his wife died.
Please don't modify the older photos by flipping them around. If you do, show the original position first. It's not a big deal but if I were to trying to find say, a specific location, then it could bring some confusion. Otherwise very good documentary! Your info on Himmler's earlier years is the top notch!
I've now watched a few of these documentaries regarding different high-ranking officials of the Third Reich and I find them very informative and well done. On a more personal level, I will never understand how anyone can hate an entire group of strangers this much. Fine, there's some groups of people I dislike, but I would never wish death on all of them and definitely not actively put time and effort into devising the slaughter of them. I just don't get it... not to overly simplify things but it really feels as though some people badly need diversified hobbies. Even currently when I hear people say some things I genuinely don't understand where they get so much hate from for a bunch of people they don't know.
I was surprised by how mediocre and weak he was. He didn’t have any real accomplishments other than the extremely negative one of being responsible for a great many deaths and he didn’t even have the stomach to witness the killing. I’m reminded of a Twilight Zone episode where a man who had presided over a death came (Auschwitz I believe) went back for a visit and was haunted by the ghosts of the prisoners he had tortured and murdered. I think that would be an appropriate fate for Himmler.
Excellent and well researched biography’s. Really good to see unbiased history told, not just ‘German’ bashing videos normally done subjectively by uneducated people. Much appreciated by a new subscriber
On the surface, Himmler looked very benign, with his fine facial features, round spectacles and slight build, but he was evil. The old saying, "Still waters run deep" comes to mind. Hitler, on the other hand, was also evil, but he looked evil too, with his menacing face and hair style. It is hard to imagine how a group of middle aged men, seemed to entice almost a whole country, into acting like murderous maniacs for so long, before their masks dropped! .... Thank you for sharing this very interesting documentary with us. Kind Regards from The UK.
I always thought Himmler's face resembled a ferret or a rat. He was just the type of person the Nazis attracted -- someone who was educated with severe discipline, someone not too bright, someone who took orders and did not question them; someone easily swayed. He was obviously a sociopath if he could not even gaze upon CC prisoners and taught his daughter to do the same. A very sicko character. He deserved slow starvation and hard labor like carrying rocks back and forth for no reason in all weathers with no protection but striped PJs, until he dropped dead. That was what he did to the prisoners.
Firstly I don't want to offend anyone here for bringing up the past. What I can't understand is Himmler himself supported the final solution and the mass murder of anyone he deemed unfit or disabled etc yet Himmler himself wore glasses, isn't wearing spectacles a disability itself?
The rise of the AXIS, the seeds of which were planted at the Versailles Conference, which negotiations imposed harsh conditions on the Germans, and restricted the size of the Wehrmact, among others. It was mainly Britain and French who wanted To punish the Germans, Wilson tried to Mitigate the terms imposed but he failed to sway anyone else to support Him, and a majority of the blame resides with him bc of he failed to personally attend the negotiations and That's what led to WW2, 25yrs later and it was a war the likes people had never seen before
France - who was represented by George Clemenceau - wanted to punish Germany for the war they felt the Germans had caused. France wanted to regain its territory in the Rhineland. UK wanted reparations, or payments for damages, from Germany However, French President George Clemenceau pushed for Germany to be severely punished. He wanted Germany to be weakened so they would not be able to pose any threat to France in the future. The two countries had a history of conflict and bordered each other
51:00 perfectly missed the opportunity to say that the sieg hail was actually derived from the Nordic people raising their hand in order to receive any hail they would ask their gods for. One could ask for a ernte hail which would make crops grow better or a sieg hail which would grant one power and victory.
I have to say, I love these Documentaries. I would love to be a War Historian someday, but there is no way to make ends mead in that field, if you are not the best. That said. Love these still. Great content.
Informative and interesting well presented. For.all his wrongs and rights. He was certainly an ambitious, driven, clever who in a sort time welding great power of life.and death
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography pictures 📷 enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Uncle Heinrich was a diabolical/murderous/inhumane/malicious/sadist. He had 1000's of associates to keep him company.
Excellent work as usual. Very grateful to be able to watch them. What would be the chance to see an episode on Stepan Bandera? Would it be too controversial for the platform and due to the current war? Ukraine just celebrated his birthday couple of days ago.
@@ravanpee1325 Isn't this the one tiny-huge inconvenience that the collective west is willingly ignoring? Since Russia must be evil for just existing? It's a clever ploy. Put 4 tribal men in charge of praising a person that murdered his own peoples back in the day. Then it all can be denied?

Banning the Nazi Party wouldn't have done anything. Once a country embraces Austerity; then Fascism or Communism is inevitable if they don't change the policy.
It's not that it embraces communism. It's the austerity and hatred that's stirred up add fascism find scapegoats rally thr nation and your off....uou could call the political ideology anything you like it's the game plan that does it and not what underpins it. Capitalist country's do the same and invade other nations. Marx was into inclusion of the worker class to rise again their oppressors. The oppressor simply gives them someone else to blame..... its happening right now in the uk (clearly not with mass genocide of one group).....
"Einsatzgruppen" were also the cowards behind you dealing "summary justice" on stragglers, deserters and walking wounded not fast enough to keep up the pace. The last of which were considered deserters because of that. One of my grandfathers saw all of his bunkmates in a field hospital dispatched and would have been dealt with the same way hadn't his CO outranking the most senior of the Einsatzgruppe arrived (literally) a couple of minutes earlier and claimed jurisdiction. Wasn't the bunkmate's CO.
Nazis didn't twist anything. The real twist is how so-called "pagans" are actually just a bunch of Neo-Christians who appropriate and tattoo old symbols on themselves that they don't understand and prance around campfires. They were just hippies of the 1990s-2010s. Real "pagans" [parentheses needed as they never called themselves that] sacrificed prisoners of war and animals at cairns, were led by kings who acted as Gods, and killed babies who were too weak to survive. If the Nazis somehow met the Romans/Hellenes/Gauls/Norsemen/Hibernians who did all the above they would get along quite well: the Nazis could get a cheap deal to send Jews to the Coliseum to save gas so that the Romans could enjoy the last squeaks of thousands of Jews before hungry lions and angry hippos. Perhaps even the Druids could get some to disembowel for their divination rites.

I like to know more about the Blackshirts, Benito Mussolini, and everything about the Fascist Italy. It seems that everybody likes to talk about Nazi Germany and Soviet Union. I don’t know enough about Fascist Italy. I am happy that you made a documentary about Henrich Himmler.
Excellent job in differentiating the phases of the Holocaust: from the einsatzgruppen murders to the assembly-line death camps. I'm glad to see more Holocaust-related material on YT of late. When rappers and other fools start parroting anti-semitic ideas, one realizes that keeping the vile reality hidden hasn't exactly worked toward advancing society, RUclips.
Well put. What gets me is that some rappers play the marginalised victim card while marginalising the Jews.
Holodomor* the murder of Europeans by soviets
@@myhonorwasloyalty It happened. I've spoken to survivors and met their grandchildren.
You stupid or what? Rapper you meant " Ye"? If yes, he is speaking the truth about entertainment industry which runs by some corrupt Jews!! Nothing related to Holocaust but as usual sensitive jews relate any criticism to that!
I've just read a worrying comment on this video. Someone noted astutely that Himmler found himself squeamish witnessing the execution of civilians yet continued to organise and streamline the murder of innocents. Someone answered "Were they innocent though? They might have been NKVD or something. It's chilling seeing that people are watching this, probably because they admire Himmler. I feel sick. I have to change to something else 😢
Really glad this showed up in my recommends. I know a little about Goebbels but not much about Himmler. Also I totally subscribed. What a well presented documentary!!!
Thank-you People Profiles for another superb video. The sad thing about all of this. Besides the millions of people this demon helped murder. He escaped being tried at Nuremberg , and given his appointment with the hangman.
Imagine letting Himmler with his height, skull shape and jawline convince that he is superior to you in any way
fr most of the top naz1s looked like malnourished virgins 😭
It is odd; the man was small and rather frail and wore Coke-bottle glasses. (No offense to anyone, I wear thick lenses myself). Hitler similarly fell far short of the handsome Aryan ideal. The group photos of the Nazi leaders resemble a scene from Revenge of the Nerds.
Perfect timing to watch my favourite channel and favourite subject “WWII criminals - Nazis” thanks again for your hard work and happy 2023! ❤
People: What are you doing for your 18th Birthday? (today)
Me:
Growing up I doubt Himmler was not evil up to a point. Though I don't think It was a sudden thing, a great deal of calculated, long thought out, and full willingness behind that drive then carry it out at scale. That's a long time that grudge had time to grow. It consumed him too
The fencing scar was a nazi SS thing.
I think Himmler "found his tribe" in the Nazis, and they enabled him as such camaraderie does. I'm still bewildered at the unbelievable horror he wrought onto the world --- nature, nurture, opportunity?? But being part of this malignant group of individuals was no doubt a factor.
Nice to see a good game like world of tanks as a sponsor. Yes it it’s a live service game with premium currency and accounts to accelerate progress but it’s a good game and I’ve played a ton of it along with world or warships. You guys make great stuff. I always seek out your videos when I’m looking for a person. I was watching Downfall and wanted to refresh my memory on Himmler. It seems like you’ve covered almost everyone haha
I’ve been saying for years that Himmler was a much nastier person then most Nazis. I have even argued in the past the he was equal to if not worse than Hitler in some regards. Yes Hitler was the leader and he called the shots but anyone can say “let’s kill 10 million people” but it take a worse person to go out and actually implement that order. I will forever believe that Himmler was a driving force towards the holocaust. There have even been stories told where Himmler was working on ways to “eradicate” mass groups of people prior to the “final solution” part of the war. Thus meaning he was already carrying out his on personal “final solution” beforehand
be honest it was about killing Jewish people God rest their souls
Maybe Palestinians would think similarly about the solution the Jewish state has for them in the illegally occupied Westbank and the Ghaza strip.
Great documentary
The horror of it all will never be forgotten. I hope and pray.
Great documentary!!!
When will you do a video on the Red Baron?
Outstanding, detailed doc. Thank you?
I listened to a few of your documentaries recently and they are all excellent but this one was exceptionally great. Thank you for your work, I can't wait to see what's next
Poland lost almost 2.9 million non Jewish citizens and close to 3 million Polish Jews.
Poland was never paid reparations by Germany. Even with that Poland is emerging as the leader only 34 years after communism was toppled!!
Congratulations on the millestone, it's very much well deserved.
Thank you for your work in History.Important is the Slovak invasion of Poland occurred during Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland in September 1939. The recently created Slovak Republic joined the attack, and Field Army Bernolák contributed over 50,000 soldiers in three divisions. Since most of the Polish forces were engaged with the German armies, which were more to the north of the southern border, the Slovak invasion met only weak resistance and suffered minimal losses. During secret discussions with the Germans on July 20-21, 1939, the Slovak government agreed to participate in Germany's planned attack on Poland and to allow Germany to use Slovak territory as the staging area for German troops. On August 26, Slovakia mobilised its armed forces and established a new field army, codenamed "Bernolák", with 51,306 soldiers. Additionally, 160,000 reservists were called up, with 115,000 entering service until September 20, 1939. The attack started without a formal declaration of war on September 1, 1939, at 5:00 a.m. The 1st division occupied the village of Javorina and the town of Zakopane and continued toward Nowy Targ to protect the German 2nd Mountain Division from the left.[1]: 50 On September 4 and 5, it engaged in fighting with regular Polish Army units. On September 7, the division stopped its advance 30 km inside Polish territory. Later, the division was pulled back, with one battalion remaining until September 29 to occupy Zakopane, Jurgów and Javorina. Thank you!
Very well made and objective
Bruno Gesche do one on him! He as there from the beginning. If you can say one thing like his driver. He found jobs close to him for those he had around for years. Stalin didn’t have anyone after his wife died.
Wewelsbug castle is not in Bavaria.
Its in the erea of Paderborn.😉
But thank for the video ofcourse 👍
Please don't modify the older photos by flipping them around. If you do, show the original position first. It's not a big deal but if I were to trying to find say, a specific location, then it could bring some confusion. Otherwise very good documentary! Your info on Himmler's earlier years is the top notch!
The monster behind the monster...
And to think this is happening in live time right now, history loves to repeat itself. That’s why it’s so important
You BET ! ! !
I've now watched a few of these documentaries regarding different high-ranking officials of the Third Reich and I find them very informative and well done. On a more personal level, I will never understand how anyone can hate an entire group of strangers this much. Fine, there's some groups of people I dislike, but I would never wish death on all of them and definitely not actively put time and effort into devising the slaughter of them. I just don't get it... not to overly simplify things but it really feels as though some people badly need diversified hobbies. Even currently when I hear people say some things I genuinely don't understand where they get so much hate from for a bunch of people they don't know.
Great Video, thank you 👍
He was an educated below average human being. One cant help but think some of he's characteristics resemble being pathetic. Brilliant documentary!!!
I was surprised by how mediocre and weak he was. He didn’t have any real accomplishments other than the extremely negative one of being responsible for a great many deaths and he didn’t even have the stomach to witness the killing.
I’m reminded of a Twilight Zone episode where a man who had presided over a death came (Auschwitz I believe) went back for a visit and was haunted by the ghosts of the prisoners he had tortured and murdered. I think that would be an appropriate fate for Himmler.
I also keep always in mind that history is written by the winners
@@Spawn931 not particularly accurate but okay.
@@Spawn931 To advocate your antisemitism?
Excellent and well researched biography’s. Really good to see unbiased history told, not just ‘German’ bashing videos normally done subjectively by uneducated people. Much appreciated by a new subscriber
Thank you for providing all these videos of amazing leaders and heroes!

And maybe, just maybe, a few villians along the way.
Yes, I've seen those about George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

Why no focus on all the esoteric stuff he was interested in?
On the surface, Himmler looked very benign, with his fine facial features, round spectacles and slight build, but he was evil. The old saying, "Still waters run deep" comes to mind. Hitler, on the other hand, was also evil, but he looked evil too, with his menacing face and hair style. It is hard to imagine how a group of middle aged men, seemed to entice almost a whole country, into acting like murderous maniacs for so long, before their masks dropped! .... Thank you for sharing this very interesting documentary with us. Kind Regards from The UK.
I always thought Himmler's face resembled a ferret or a rat. He was just the type of person the Nazis attracted -- someone who was educated with severe discipline, someone not too bright, someone who took orders and did not question them; someone easily swayed. He was obviously a sociopath if he could not even gaze upon CC prisoners and taught his daughter to do the same. A very sicko character. He deserved slow starvation and hard labor like carrying rocks back and forth for no reason in all weathers with no protection but striped PJs, until he dropped dead. That was what he did to the prisoners.
They should show this in social studies classes
"What do you think of Heinrich Himmler?"
Well, I gotta say, I'm not a fan.
😃👍👍👍
lol yeah
Yeah I suspect that he wasn't a very nice guy!
The more I hear about this guy the less I care for him!
The world is a better place without Himmler.
Firstly I don't want to offend anyone here for bringing up the past. What I can't understand is Himmler himself supported the final solution and the mass murder of anyone he deemed unfit or disabled etc yet Himmler himself wore glasses, isn't wearing spectacles a disability itself?
The leaders of North Korea would be interesting. :)
The rise of the AXIS, the seeds of which were planted at the Versailles
Conference, which negotiations imposed harsh conditions on the Germans, and restricted the size of the
Wehrmact, among others. It was mainly Britain and French who wanted
To punish the Germans, Wilson tried to
Mitigate the terms imposed but he failed to sway anyone else to support
Him, and a majority of the blame resides with him bc of he failed to personally attend the negotiations and
That's what led to WW2, 25yrs later and it was a war the likes people had never seen before
France - who was represented by George Clemenceau - wanted to punish Germany for the war they felt the Germans had caused. France wanted to regain its territory in the Rhineland. UK wanted reparations, or payments for damages, from Germany
However, French President George Clemenceau pushed for Germany to be severely punished. He wanted Germany to be weakened so they would not be able to pose any threat to France in the future. The two countries had a history of conflict and bordered each other
51:00 perfectly missed the opportunity to say that the sieg hail was actually derived from the Nordic people raising their hand in order to receive any hail they would ask their gods for. One could ask for a ernte hail which would make crops grow better or a sieg hail which would grant one power and victory.
I have to say, I love these Documentaries. I would love to be a War Historian someday, but there is no way to make ends mead in that field, if you are not the best.
That said. Love these still. Great content.
Then be the worst. The worst at researching insignificant information.
I visited Dacha. It was bone chilling.
Imagine knowing you are responsible for millions of people dying.

At the “right” place, at the “right” time - i guess. Goofy looking, but clever.

THE US ARMY OPERATED ON 99 Divisions. Compared to several hundreds of Germany, Italy, and Japan. None pulled out. Just replacements as necessary.
Ok , so this guy was not only a mass murderer , but too much of a coward to not only do it himself , but to also wittness it .
Good job buddy
Just to correct it, Wewelsburg Castle is not located in Bavaria, but in the northeast of Nordrhein-Westfalen.
You are EXCELLENT at what you do sir! 🔥🔥🔥
The Pinocchio of German imperial empire
These documentaries are great. They remind me of the old school history channel aka the Hitler Eisenhower channel.
That "pedantic" of his father brushed off on Heinrich not a bit! It resulted in (behind his back) nickname Reichs Heini. 😂😂😂
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography pictures 📷 enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Uncle Heinrich was a diabolical/murderous/inhumane/malicious/sadist. He had 1000's of associates to keep him company.
Another very interesting video
I wonder which "other Scandinavian countries" are being referred to in addition to Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Lol fair point. That's all there is to Scandinavia. Nordic countries now that's another kettle of fish. Same with Baltic countries.
Iceland is considered Scandinavia
@@di3486 Scandinavia is Sweden Norway and Denmark. Period. The others are Nordic.
Excellent work as usual. Very grateful to be able to watch them. What would be the chance to see an episode on Stepan Bandera? Would it be too controversial for the platform and due to the current war? Ukraine just celebrated his birthday couple of days ago.
Why should it be controversial? We all know the Ukraine ties to Nazis e.g. Asow regiment therefore the Russian propaganda to "denazifiy" Ukraine
@@ravanpee1325 Isn't this the one tiny-huge inconvenience that the collective west is willingly ignoring? Since Russia must be evil for just existing? It's a clever ploy. Put 4 tribal men in charge of praising a person that murdered his own peoples back in the day. Then it all can be denied?
@@spaceshuttledoorgunner125 I didn't say Russia is evil. The US commited far worse things e.g. Iraq invasion, support of the Saudi war in Yemen etc. with much higher death toll
@@ravanpee1325 I didn't mean it like that to you buddy. I get your comment. Was being sarcastic to others who think Russia is the root of all evil when in fact it is the US and the West who are... unfair to say the least to other nations.
@@spaceshuttledoorgunner125 The US is the root of all evil?? Sure buddy. Is that why people are beating down the door to immigrate to Russia or any other Commi shithole? America has helped more people in the world than every other country COMBINED and then some.

Beer hall purge. I visited Hofbrauhaus in Munich. It’s still there and a must visit if you go to Germany.

Banning the Nazi Party wouldn't have done anything. Once a country embraces Austerity; then Fascism or Communism is inevitable if they don't change the policy.
and yet.. communism is still tolerated somehow.
@@brunolima7402 I don't believe in a one party state or a stateless society but Marx and Engels called it on how Capitalism would turn out.
@pegamini Agreed. Direct Democracy is the best way.
@@brunolima7402 ignorant comment. You’re as lame as the nazis
It's not that it embraces communism. It's the austerity and hatred that's stirred up add fascism find scapegoats rally thr nation and your off....uou could call the political ideology anything you like it's the game plan that does it and not what underpins it. Capitalist country's do the same and invade other nations. Marx was into inclusion of the worker class to rise again their oppressors. The oppressor simply gives them someone else to blame..... its happening right now in the uk (clearly not with mass genocide of one group).....
Is there a video on Erma Grese?
"Einsatzgruppen" were also the cowards behind you dealing "summary justice" on stragglers, deserters and walking wounded not fast enough to keep up the pace. The last of which were considered deserters because of that. One of my grandfathers saw all of his bunkmates in a field hospital dispatched and would have been dealt with the same way hadn't his CO outranking the most senior of the Einsatzgruppe arrived (literally) a couple of minutes earlier and claimed jurisdiction. Wasn't the bunkmate's CO.
Video geçişleri harika. Fakat türkçe altyazı desteği olmaması üzdü biraz.
Paganism isnt bad in its own right but nazis just twisted it for their own use.
yea.. sacrificing children isnt bad at all.. wat?
@@brunolima7402 you should see what Christianity has done. Or any religion for that matter.
Nazis didn't twist anything. The real twist is how so-called "pagans" are actually just a bunch of Neo-Christians who appropriate and tattoo old symbols on themselves that they don't understand and prance around campfires. They were just hippies of the 1990s-2010s. Real "pagans" [parentheses needed as they never called themselves that] sacrificed prisoners of war and animals at cairns, were led by kings who acted as Gods, and killed babies who were too weak to survive. If the Nazis somehow met the Romans/Hellenes/Gauls/Norsemen/Hibernians who did all the above they would get along quite well: the Nazis could get a cheap deal to send Jews to the Coliseum to save gas so that the Romans could enjoy the last squeaks of thousands of Jews before hungry lions and angry hippos. Perhaps even the Druids could get some to disembowel for their divination rites.

"In life one must always be decent, courageous and kind-hearted," Himmler wrote in a 1941 letter to his daughter Gudrun.
I'm sure to his family and friends. Otherwise,well
Man he sucked at naming his kids too. Gudrun. Almost worse than gurtrude
