Opinion Interesting documentary on Hitler's Germany

[PEB]

This is a documentary about Hitler and the history of Germany in color that I have never seen before my father served in US military in Germany during this time. They showed how they wiped out all political opposition and treated hitler like an almost God like figure. Some of the most horrific comments stated in this video from his quotes and German people during this time.

Will check it out!

Now more than ever, it’s vital that we not forget the lessons of that time period: how to recognize authoritarianism and fascism and protect against it, remembering that appeasement of these types of leaders never works, to watch out for and protect the less fortunate from hate, discrimination, and cruelty, and the importance of NATO and our obligation to it to preserve peace.

What these documentaries never mention is how the West was oppressing Germany and exploiting their country. The German people were expected to just suffer forever.

Do me a favor prove it? Anyway this was done only during the time Hitler impact on Germany not a full look then you would see the other aspects.

Quick look into this :
"
Yes, the United States played a crucial role in helping Germany rebuild after World War II, primarily through the Marshall Plan, which provided economic aid to Western Europe, including West Germany, to foster recovery and prevent the spread of communism.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• The Marshall Plan:
  The US, through the Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program), provided billions of dollars in economic aid to Western European nations, including West Germany, to help them rebuild after the war.
  
  
• Motivations:
  The primary motivations behind the Marshall Plan were to prevent the spread of communism in Western Europe and to promote economic stability and recovery in the region.
  
  
• Impact on West Germany:
  The Marshall Plan played a significant role in the economic recovery of West Germany, which experienced a period of rapid growth and prosperity known as the "economic miracle".
  
  
• Aid Provided:
  The US provided economic grants and loans to West Germany, which helped the country rebuild its infrastructure, industry, and economy.
  
  
• Shift in Allied Policy:
  Initially, the Allied powers, including the US, had plans to dismantle German heavy industry. However, as the Cold War emerged, the US and its Western allies shifted to a policy of reconciliation and economic aid to West Germany. "

So the war THEY started previously that left their country weaker and in debt because of their military spending is the wests fault ?

Finally! Somebody has the stones to address Nazi Germany.

It’s surprising how few documentaries there are about Adolf Hitler

Versailles was unfair to the German people. But I'm not sure what that has to do with mass murder, lebensraum, etc.

Yes but how many in color and filmed by a Hollywood videographer? Most 20 somethings have no idea what happened in Germany during WW2 or the reasons for it. But really lets not derail this post into a debate about how many stories about Hitler are out there currently we are seeing people being picked off the street while having green cards and are University Professors. Why in Boston or DC is another question you don't think they have green card professors at Texas A an M or Florida state? Very likely critical of the Government?

Its mind boggling to watch the videos of Germany during Hitler’s time. You’d swear it was Hollywood theatrics and complete make believe. The cult of personality was INSANE. Never forget.

Some of the best documentary are lower budget, they don’t have to be Hollywood . Most ones are in color but I prefer black and white footage , color doesn’t always mean better the clips in some of them showing real footage doesn’t always look better in color I prefer the actual real thing .

It’s like watching Night Of The Living Dead in color it just doesn’t look as good .

We get it, you think Trump is Hitler. This isn't an edgy take, we can all see he's doing weird shit. The world doesn't really work this way. The controllers have switched to a system of thesis and antithesis, both under their control. Trump is the antithesis, the chaos from which order (their order) can arise. It's a uniparty. To the extent there's in-fighting, it's in-fighting over which faction of assholes gets the biggest slice of the pie. They're all in agreement for screwing you over. You can't vote your way out of this. Be skeptical of Trump, that's great I love that for you, the problem is lack of skepticism for literally everything and everyone else. Like you think there are good guys and baddies. No, it's literally all baddies in the top echelons and their self-serving simps and useful idiots at the lower echelons. Good people always project their goodness onto other people, that's why they're so vulnerable to psychopaths. Get it through your head: they don't think like you. The Democrat you think will save you ain't saving you for shit, he's on the payroll.

Germany wasn't mass murdering people tho

This came up on my feed recently. Very timely:

So what Auschwitz? Operation Barbarossa? Programs to euthanize people with mental disability? Etc.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Uaed to love watching these back in the day. Wish more documentaries would go into Hitler's weltanshauung and look at it from a more paradigmatic level though. Also would be interesting if they mentioned who funded these wars. Would also like to see more Soviet documentaries but that's kind of forgotten in the west.

These things didn't happen until after the war started. It wasn't like Germany was going around mass murdering people as you suggest. They killed millions within the theater of war like everyone else. And this was a war the Allies brought to Germany btw.

In all fairness, I don't think he was talking about the aftermath of WW2, but the aftermath of WW1 that to a great extent gave rise to the Nazi movement.
The Treaty of Versailles, that basically put Germany in a HUGE debt.
However, while the treaty was draconic and humiliating, it was not strictly enforced.
Only as small fraction of the war reparations was ever made, and most of the other requirements was either ignored or gradually broken too -until Hitler used the last ones as an excuse to start annexing lost territory -and a little more.

BTW, None of this excuse the nazi fuckers in any way.
