leonid brezhnev biography!
hello biographics, simon can you do a vlog about our fallen kenyan second president who was a dictator, he just died recently
@@harveykl2532 : v
Gatime shqip
Excellent ad btw
What
I'm glad that both Karl Benz and his wife both lived to see how important their work was.
Too bad it was also just long enough to see Hitler riding around in their cars...
@@MaxRideout they are german lol iam sure they're okay with their president driving their car
I wish they could see the cars MB now has in 2022..they would be totally astonished
Bertha Benz: Mother Of The First Road Trip. And The First Joy Ride.
The first "teenager". LOL
"Are we there yet?"
yell
And the first to make a repair to a vehicle I heard. It broke a belt and she fixed it. Maybe folklore I wasn't there....
Haha
It is cool to see where it all started. I'm toward the bottom of the automotive food chain, I'm an auto mechanic. This industry continues to thrive and innovate and has supported my kids into adulthood. So I'm thankful for it. Thanks for the history lesson Simon.
Dam. Bertha Ringer was beautiful.
Do you ever wonder why we only see photographs of unnatractive women from the 1800's in history books? Schools and things want to make us think everyone was ugly back then
Billy Von der Burg, that is not true. Look for example, the wife of president groover Cleveland, who was much younger than him
I think we can all agree Karl found himself the perfect wife.
Sure, beautiful, good wife and a little crazy: best qualities for a woman.
@@silafuyang8675 you forgot crafty and intelligent
I live in germany and we are currently talking about benz and his importance in my history class. This helped a lot. Gonna go and impress my teacher now. Thanks
If you want your teacher to be impressed, DO MORE than watch a youtube video, kid.
@travis miller how do you know i don't?
@@TPQ1980
I agree as a leftist, just dont let it impact your view on any other people
TPQ1980
Thank you. Many important German inventors are forgotten like Phillip Reis who invented the first telephone in 1859.
@@TPQ1980 what leftists hate germany?? Karl Marx was a German LOL
Carl was a blessed man to have married a woman who truly loved him and who figured out how to rock out a 66mi. trip no one had driven before. She's an inspiration!
“My first customer was a lunatic. My second had a death wish” Karl Benz
This was great. Credit where credit is due. Ford helped develop the assembly line method. He didn't invent the car. A lot of folks tinkered with the idea for years, but Benz seems to be the first working model
Thank you for saying Ford "helped develop the assembly line," since it was Ransom E. Olds who first used the assembly line to manufacture automobiles. Eli Whitney was the first firearms manufacturer in the US to use standardized parts that could be used for any of his muskets. Relatively unskilled laborers could assemble the weapons, instead of skilled artisans hand-making one of a kind firearms. Ford did refine the assembly of his automobiles, using standardized parts, by easily-trained laborers.
“Which didn’t habitually explode” always a plus!
The only thing that bums me out about death is the idea of missing whatever happens next. So the fact that Karl and Bertha got to see cars become a full on thing makes me very happy.
I have read the story of Benz and his wife, Bertha, before. My favorite part is the fact that they were made for each other. I think that it would make a great movie.
Yeah, nice idea.
Hear, hear
A great movie has been made about them.
@@wolfschindler8921 What's it called?
@@MetalTrabant It's called "Carl & Berta", but it is in German. It really is a great movie, but I don't know if it is available in English.
Bertha Benz was not only a beautiful woman (how many rich men of the time could match her?) but one with marketing brilliance and determination. Very inspirational.
As a life long automotive enthusiast, I'm quite pleased to see this on my feed.
This might be my favorite episode yet. Bertha was a truly remarkable woman. Imagine how different the entire history of automobiles might have played out without her unwavering support of, and contributions to the legacy of Karl Benz.
"Behind every great man is a great woman. Behind every great women is a great behind".
Lol
Behind every great behind, is a great personal trainer 😂👍
... and good god, what a cute woman!
Great posterior, you mean. I see. Lol.
@@mattio79 Right! Bertha was wayyy to pretty to be named Bertha! 🤤
6:50 was totally expecting a skillshare promo
I think Karl and Bertha were a really cute couple. I like the way that Bertha saw past his poverty and stood by the man she loved, while Karl didn't think it was odd that a woman like her was interested in engineering.
I was helpless with laughter during the narration of her journey, and how the apothecary was aghast at her appearance, topped off by the scare she gave several of the townspeople when she arrived in her vehicle. 🤣🤣🤣
I can imagine what a sight it must have been when she arrived, careening like crazy through the streets in her husband's invention, with everyone agape! 👍👍👍
That would have been fun to see! 🤣👍👍🤣
The way you summarize and explain with such ease is just fascinating!! Impressive
Really enjoyed this one. Lots of uploads recently too. You guys are crushing it!
Great, Simon. Now I have a deeper history of the vehicle I drive. Thank you.
Went to the museum in Stuttgart 👌 it was fascinating! One needs a full day just to explore the whole museum. Lots of interactive exhibits
I’d really like to see a biographics video on Neil Peart, that’d be amazing
Mühlberg just looks so beautiful, the architecture, just wonderful
The influence of the bicycle can't be overstated.
Imagine being the person to first see somone driving without a horse and just being absolutely stunned
Yet another absolutely outstanding bio!
I love the look on her face! "I told him he made something great and proved it!"
Simon, I love that when you have a sponsor you actually show yourself playing the game instead of just doing a short blurb about it.
Benz - King of the road for 140 years and counting 💪 I'm proud to own a W210. It's not the fastest, most luxurious, or most bulletproof Benz, but it sure has more than enough of those qualities considering how cheap you can get them. 220hp for $2k isn't bad for my first car.
I'm going to hell for this, but here goes... Would it be fair to call them a "horsepower couple?". I'll see myself out...
My biggest wish is to one day have a companion like Bertha Benz! Loyal, loving, supportive, and intelligent! 😍
...and beautiful. It's OK to say it!
*"Unfortunately, only a girl again"*
I'm always surprised by how much women were appreciated back in those days...
Not justifying it but women were kinda a burden back. I mean a dowery esentialy was a prize for taking her off your hands. Men carried the family name. Plus male children were basicly like a retirment fund. Yet we dont need to look to the past to see how women are undervalued. You need only to look to the one child policy in china. This undervaluing has actually shown their value (not in being killed befor birth but rather how it has lead to a shortage of women).
I'll bet that broke her heart and stuck with her for the rest of her life! 😞 Poor girl!
@EmperorJuliusCaesar lol except for china
@@micahmach8732 *I think the killing before birth actually shows the undervaluing.......* _My my,_ the mental gymnastics you had to go through to sidestep *abortion* from your equation is astonishing... The Chinese judge gives you a 6.0..........
rachybaby72: Forced abortions, like China’s policies, are just as much a violation of human rights as laws prohibiting abortion are.
Beautiful...rich...along came the car guy....the rest is history!!
Outstanding Simon and crew!
Oh nice, glad to see Karl & Bertha Benz getting a video! Gottlieb Daimler & Wilhelm Maybach should get their own videos down the line.
The rights to use the Daimler name was sold to a company in England, and British Daimler set up shop in 1896, thus giving birth to the British automobile industry. There was also Austro-Daimler, a subsidiary of the German company within Austria. Ferdinand Porsche worked for Austro-Daimler, then later Daimler & Daimler-Benz. I believe he left the company in 1928.
By the mid 1960's, the British Daimler name was reduced to an upscale trim level on some Jaguar models.
The Daimler-Benz, for a time, merged with Chrysler, which didn't really go well for Mercedes-Benz for as far as I know.
Best short videos on the net! Keep it up 👌🏼
Bedford Cf2 yes he's very good, have you ever watched" the history guy"?
I am from the area were Carl Benz was from. My Grandfather even grew up in the same neighborhood as the Benz family in Ladenburg. He was a truly great man.
I drive a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D. It's spoiled me for any other vehicle, elderly as it is. Thanks for the video!
I have the car that succeeded yours in my garage - a '02 E320.
I saw one this past week. It appeared to be very well cared for and sounded great. I love the 80's M-B cars.
Anything with Simon in it is amazing. Best videos on RUclips.
Can you do a biography on Admiral Yi Sun-Sin, the Martial Lord of Loyalty?
This.
Extra credits did a series of youtube videos about him
Bertha is astonishingly beautiful, the face of an angel that kicked ass on the original roadtrip
i'm pretty sure dave automobile invented the car.
No, it was Jimmy Carr and they just dropped the second "r".
IT WAS LEE IACOCCA!!!! 😂👍
Awesome video Simon!
Thanks for the video
I clicked on the video and that ad was for Mercedes Benz!
Thanks for another great video! I knew nothing, but the name, about this guy
This show is NEEDED. Lights my mind up every time I watch. One day, I hope that all black and white photos are colorized. Makes the past seem more real and human. Thanks Simon!!
Land mark moment you say? Discovering this channel! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. I have heard the story of Bertha and her trip. Great woman!
A series on the reformers would be great: John Calvin, Luther, Zwingli etc 😊
Very cool vid.. 👍🏻👍🏻
You guys should do a video series in the same format on epic military battles.
Can you PLEASE do a biography of Ferdinand Porsche?!😁😁😁👍
Bertha Benz was hot
For sure!!
I love the channel and all of the subjects that you cover are great, I have just one small little thing that I want to ask you to please please please do would you line up the framed art that you have in on your wall above the desk the one on right does not line up with the bottom frame, it's killing me!!!
I may use some of this information in a story I'll be writing soon. BTW, how about a video about Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer?
Good one guys.
Karl and Bertha Benz, linchpins of the green house effect lol
Quite possibly the coolest story of human achievement
And thank you for clearing up my belief that Karl's wife's name was Mercedes..
I thought is was Carls daughters name That was Mercedes.
that's the hottest Bertha I've ever seen
wow dude really
lol
I think Benz and I would have been good friends if we'd lived in the same time. I too am an engineer (embedded systems) who loves to create things that I can show off, but have no talent for bureaucracy or economics. I just want to show the world what I can do.
Great video! I work for Robert Bosch GmbH near Stuttgart. He'd also be a great option for a biographics video! He was a very philantrophic man and a very keen bussinessman.
5:20 You could say his name was Nikolaus Autto
Am so proud of Bertha benz❤❤ she was angel for carl benz
Digging the long beard Simon, keep it growing!
Bio on George Orwell plz
Berths was hot too! Brains and beauty, the entire package.
VIBRATOR = Used before points driven by a small cam to convert DC into AC. They were two electromagnets with a reed switch / spring metal blade with brass contact, in the center. They vibrate from the switch going back and forth.
1:34 willie the pimp bumper music!
1:40 - Chapter 1 - Early years

Excellent
It's gonna be a good day. Skipped the entire crossout bit with one click.
This is how I finish my day, with Simon Whistler.
Are you saying he sends you to sleep? ;)
at 01:34 ...
Even if that came from the RUclips Audio Library ... that is the same riff used in 'Willie The Pimp' from the album 'Hot Rats' by Frank Zappa ;)
Good ear mate
Standing in the porch of the Lido hotel!
He was "an avid bicycle rider". He probably thought like me (I'm an engineer also): "This is fun but it would be way more fun if I didn't have to f'n pedal!"
What an amazing life they had together. Glad both of them lived long to see the fruits of their labor. Too bad Bertha died before the end of WWII, makes me wonder what her political stance was during Germany’s third reich.
Greetings from Mannheim - home of the first automobile and the first bicycle - the Draisine! :)
Could you please do a bio on Ip Man? Thank you :)
Watch the 4 movies starring Donnie Yen! Case closed!
Good cars, we've owned 8 of them over the last 45 years..thank you Mr. Benz! Fascinating story...
In that time with a Toyota you wouldn't needed 8 cars
I told you Simon doctor Ferry Porsche next !!!!!👍🇩🇪
Yay! My prayers has been heard!
Who else asked “how about Mercedes?” during the entire video?
Can't say I personally did, since I did know about Emil Jellinek, Daimler and Benz history beforehand. But I reckon some people didn't, and they were probably curious about when that name entered the picture, since most people probably know of Mercedes-Benz (perhaps moreso than its parent company Daimler-Benz which I think is just called Daimler nowadays).
Added interesting fact: Jellinek used his daughter's name as the name for his race car team competing in the French Riviera races in the 1890's, and he himself went by the alias Monsieur Mercedes. Later on the name carried over to the cars themselves😊
Nah, I remember Daimler was before that from the set of Matchbox "Models of Yesteryear" I had as a child
Mercedes, Benz, Daimler and Maybach. Names familiar today to any car guy.
i was thinking it
Excellent 👍👏👏
I found something to put on my bucket list. Go on the same journey that Bertha did. Cool! 😊
What vehicle would you use?
@@hedgehog1965uk If I could use one like she did, but won't break down on me, I would do that. Haha
Very cool 👍
Am s fascinated with Karl Benz and Henry Ford.
I loved this !
Thank you
Thank you Karl and Bertha Benz
Simon, have you ever considered an episode on Sophie Wilson?
The way you narrate I feel like you could make any one on earth famous or infamous your tone and accent makes everything you say sound so dramatic In a good way!
Bertha was indeed hot. Their car has three wheels but most of the time he probably had three legs too.
@@chrispoleson6118 About as appropriate a response to that comment as chalk and submarines.
What a gangsta, pulling up in the hood in germany in the first car ever when everyone around him was riding on horses
Please do Khalil Gibran next
Dear Sir Simon. I would love to see you present a work of the Krupp dynasty. I am interested in Franco Prussian war of 1870 where Krupp steel cannon way overmatched France's bronze cannon in distance of shot fired. Very unique situation you might say.. Rkg
Yes! Car stuff do more car stuff
do a video on William Durrant who basically founded General Motors Henry Ford is also a part of this story - before he started his own company
Pretty close for the most part this time, Simon, but two corrections: KARLS-rew-uh, and VEES-loch.
If you are ever bored in Karlsruhe, take a tram to Mühlburg and have a look for the (simplyfied) Benz car model on the sidewalk you can actually sit in! It is accompanied by an information plaque.
That said, the picture for "University of Karlsruhe" shows the wrong building, minor mistake, those unis look all alike in southwestern Germany.
Great video nonetheless! Thanks!

Any danger of a Biographics feature on Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot? The inventor of the first true (purpose-built) automobile in 1770?
