I wonder if this will be the third time of Walter Schellenberg being portrayed in a sympathetic light

Yes he did.

I love hearing things that add perspective to what is being taught: like you mentioning your mother’s birthday. I’m 33 and have always put history into perspective based on my parents/grandparents/etc’s ages. Always thinking to myself “grandpa would’ve just barely been able to remember post WWII America. (He would’ve been 5 by the end of the war) Or my great grandfather was old enough to remember the middle and end of The Great War, having been born in 1910. I do this to remember that history, no matter how long ago it happened, isn’t actually all that far off from now.

1:21, is that Gene Wilder?

Reportedly read the Quran daily

I fucking love this channel. Outside of school ive never realy heard Stauffenberg being described accurately. He even wanted to maximise Lebensraum in the east.

You gotta walk before you can run.

1:00 am I tripping or do I here the Minecraft water effect

The Germans knew about the destruction of Jews, just like the whole of humanity knows about the destruction of the planet. The issues we face appear to be at the humanity level.

Its also worth noting that, though he was a conservative nationalist, and had some more than a bit dodgy views on race, and jewish and other people (like the Poles for example), von Stauffenberg was not, nor was he ever, as some posters on here have stated, a Nazi. As in, he never actually joined the NSDAP. Obviously that doesnt automatically make the man a paragon of virtue, but its worth pointing out.

Nice, too bad it will never be published in Italian in Italy....

Collapse? They caused and took how many casualties in 1945? Does this guy have a clue about history?

Philip Kerr's "Hitler's Peace" is an excellent but long read

Where can I buy this? Netflix should do a historic docu series about this!

You are quite likely correct - however, I would like to add to this. He wasn’t *just* politically and militarily motivated (although that likely had a lot to do with it); he was also motivated by his conscience. Allow me to quote - “It’s time now for something to be done. He who has the courage to act must know that he will probably go down in German history as a traitor. But if he fails to act, he will be a traitor before his own conscience.”

sounds very interesting indeed! will definitely buy this book. Had no clue about Coco Chanel!

We are about to relive forgotten history. Trump wants to be a dictator and his followers want to kill all Hispanic Americans.

Fuck me, in the thumb he looked a lot like John Malkovich.

The problem is that we are not looking at the plotters, particularly Stauffenberg, as human beings like any other with flaws, or that people can have questionable views or agree with or even do bad things, and that that makes them incapable of doing good. Good isn't always nice. The 20th July Plotters weren't, after all, a monolith, and there was a variety of people with different aims and motivations, the only thing they all agreed on was that Hitler had to go. At the end of the day, regardless of Stauffenburg's motives, he still *tried to kill Hitler*. And this also doesn't factor in the fact that people like von Tresckow, Goederler and Ludwig Beck, particularly the former, were genuinely opposed to Hitler and the Nazis for reasons of conscience.

Alright but when did it become synonymous with him

Like a lot of nationalists, I'm sure he would've been fine or even preferred a government in the style of imperial gemany. But because hitler shared similar ideals and had a similar system of government, they were willing to participate in it to get back in power and keep other political groups in germany, which were gaining support, out of power. Even if we ignore him and many like him becoming nazis and holding the highest postitions of nazi germany when it comitted its worst deeds, they're still opponents of democracy and proponents of military expansionism, i.e. invading other countries and annexing them.

@WorldWarTwo The Stauffenberg conspirators DID want to dissolve the concentration camps and sack/imprison the entire SS leadership. So, saying that he was not interested in ending the holocaust is, at best, a distortion.

Thank you for your amazing body of work. What you all do is important. I don't really have the words to express the full extent of my admiration for you all. Once again, thank you. Never forget.

Great use of animated map.

Tresckow was pretty cool, though.

So annoying when numbers are given, then compared with other numbers … without the most important aspect from which true understanding is achieved: proportion. 50k out of ??? 100k out of ??? It would also increase understanding if timeframe (rate) was included: e.g. 50k deserters out of 2M over 5 years -vs- 100k deserters out of 3M over 8 years.

Most normal anti communist

But he and the conspirators planned to close the concentration camps is what I’ve heard. They didn’t believe non Aryans were equal to them but they didn’t support the Holocaust either.

The hard research done is amazing!

I was told that people are no longer interested in history. Your channel proves them wrong. I wanted to tell you, my papa went to get himself some hitler. Anti-Fascists disrupting a large gathering of white supremacists in Europe, Antifa class of 1945. Well, he went to the water hell abyss in the Pacific theater. When he was mere 14 year old he was doing mocking drawings of hitler. He was a exceptionally gifted illustrator from a few year of age onward to his death. He documented and illustrated about 800 images of the war in the Pacific theater, in real time between picking up all his dead comrades bodies and body parts. I am now looking for a literary agent. He will be one of the last artists to be discovered who documented the war. I want to begin the book with his early drawings of hitler and how he lied about his age to go destroy fascism. These days Americans seem to love all things nazi, as we voted for a man who loves hitler and quoted him all the time and even his own generals came forward, and it's his nightie night reading by his bed. How soothing to merge a little with hitler speeches before one drops off into slumberland. But no mind, we forgot why we were in Europe. I understand if you add up everyone who died, hilter killed one billion. I think we want more of that, as if we could not learn the lessons of why we fought the fascists. Back by popular demand because we have a hard time learning and want more horrors.

You are a liar and propagandist . Your filthy nation signed pact after pact with Hitler, your leaders were sympathizers of the nazis and gave Hitler a gift which was Czechoslovakia. I feel sorry for the ignorant people who learn fake history from this channel

Even removing Hitler would have probably led to a case of "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

He is the operation Valkery dude

We have only one ennemy : islam
