End of the Third Reich

[@antonioacevedo5200]

I can't get enough of this guys tours. Fascinating!!!

[@edoedo8686]

Amazing, fantastic--intense. This is inspiring for me, an old man. I have been saving my money and my health for a journey that I need to walk. I have been researching my journey upon the Transiberian Railroad, then onward to Europe, where I will sojourn to the places on your incredible videos. Your videos enhanced what I need to experience. You are a wonderful young teacher, and you give much to your generation about a profound tale of humanity. So I think, there is hope for our planet with souls like you. I thank you sir, with much respect.

1:15 to 2:30 Anhalter Bahnhof, as the name implies, this was the terminal for trains to Saxony-Anhalt, after the war the station was patched up and a train service operated for a short while, but as Anhalter Bahnhof was in West-Berlin and Anhalt was in Eastern Germany the service was diverted into East-Berlin and the station closed, however there is an underground section of the S-Bahn (Suburban Railway) which has a station named 'Anhalter Bahnhof' which was intended as a transfer point.

[@paulm3033]

I like your quirky presentational manner ,the information you give is easy to take in, combining historical narrative with a hands on discussion of the site,then and now , which I really enjoy.

[@rottweilertom]

This teacher does these video's very well plus its great to have someone this young to remind us and bring this dreadful period to life so people can LEARN

[@snuggles03]

That was great, I enjoyed that tour, thank you

Read the book "The fall of Berlin" by Anthony Beever and you will won't be making the claims you are making.

[@biomanization]

You are such a good teacher, giving so much information and enthusiasm. Thank you.

[@sugandhakohli]

I'll use these videos as my personal guide when I visit Europe for a historical tour. Thanks man!

[@MrTowton1461]

A really well done and informative video. Well done and thanks.

Hello from Argentina!! Great videos!!! the last week I was in Berlín, amazing!

[@antonioacevedo5200]

May I ask you a questions since you live in Argentina? I am curious to know if , since many countries in South America speak Spanish, if you can tell by a certain accent what country they are from or if Spanish is the same in every country. Thank you.

[@loroimperial]

Why haven't they blown to pieces the Soviet memorial as well!? They were just as bad as the Nazi's, if not worse.

[@steeltrap3800]

Because the Soviets controlled East Berlin until the wall came down and the powers that be (wisely IMO) decided not to stir shit up by such a provocative action. Sure, the Soviets were atrocious, but it's a problem of Western education that far too few people realise it was the Soviets who broke the back of Nazis Germany militarily and, as a consequence, also suffered by far the worst casualties. Should we spit in the faces of the soldiers who died defeating the Nazis simply because their government was dreadful? IMO no, we shouldn't; it's not a memorial to the Soviet State, it's a memorial to the millions of Soviet soldiers who died fighting the Nazis. They were, after all, allies of the Western powers. I've been there, and it does seem odd in one respect because of the complication of the Soviet system, but I found once I viewed it as a memorial to those who died defeating the Nazis then I'm fine with it. I'm certainly not insisting you share that view, but I am offering it as an explanation and something to consider.

[@GoodVideos4]

That Soviet War Memorial was in West Berlin, close to the Berlin Wall, during the Cold War. In the former East Berlin is an even larger Soviet War Memorial.

[@antonioacevedo5200]

It is said that the Soviet troops may have raped as many as 1.5 million German women during their approach and capture of Berlin. Also, few remember that it was the Soviet Union that made a non-aggression pact with Hitler. They were in bed with him. The soviets also invaded Poland from the east. These are facts that few people ever bring up.

[@GoodVideos4]

Regarding the memorial - It is also typical of human nature that when something becomes redundant to want to destroy it, and then want it preserved.

You can see a lot of german history in former East Germany(which the Poles made a part of Poland after 1945).We live in Lower Silesia and when I dig in my garden earth I find a lot of german stuff.From our place peoples make day tours to bunkersystems,peace church,KZ and all cities are been german build.Villa Oranje Bolkow next to a castle from 1108.Americans welcome.I enjoy your films.

[@djd3104]

Correction! Hess flew to Scotland not England and parachuted into his destination!

[@jeffreyedwards609]

Very well done and interesting.

[@blackvulcan100]

Once again a fascinating insight into a sad history.After studying WW2 I learnt a lot from your videos.Thank you.

[@FernandoGarcia-eb9wq]

Another must see place in Berlin is the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Although not as famous as Auschwitz, this camp nevertheless holds a particular significance amongst the WW2 camps. Another interesting walk is the Unter der Linden between the Siegessäule and the Brandenburg gate.

[@edoedo8686]

What is the street name where the former train station wall is located? And how do you spell the name of that station? Fascinating and detailed tour. Thank you for sharing all this for us on KZbin.

[@ruhri0411]

The station was called Anhalter Bahnhof and the remains are on Stresemannstraße. But what cbutchko said about the station is not quite true. The station was badly damaged during the war and could have been used again. However, due to the division of the city, it lost its importance completely and the remains were blown up and cleared in 1959, except for parts of the portal that can still be seen there today. Interesting fact: During the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, a train left the station every two minutes or another train arrived.

[@mgtowp.l.7756]

Top marks for an entertaining walk through

[@arjanschaffer1318]

I am wondering how it is with the Tiergarten 4. The T4 program was organized from there if I'm correct?

[@paulsz6194]

The same thing exists in Vienna, Austria. The Soviets built a monument to the liberation from the Nazi Germany occupation. I think it’s made out of red Granite. Those monuments appear to be veiled monuments of Soviet propaganda, rather then be pure monuments of liberation.

[@julianofpaignton6202]

This was an interesting video. You should do a Nazi tour of München. There are a lot buildings and sites associated with Nazis such as the Königsplatz, the Felderrenhalle , the Haus der Deutschen Kunst, the Führerbau, the Brown House which was the home of the Nazi Party after 1930, the Löwenbräukeller where Hitller gave many speeches, Prinzregentenplatz where Hitler lived from 1929. There are also many sites related to the Beer Hall Putsch

[@giovanniserafino1731]

I’ve always liked the idea of visiting actual sites of historical importance even if they no longer exist in their original form. Who knows, perhaps they still exist in another dimension?

[@macaelatice-loma1048]

the subway stop: let me introduce myself... that subway had the red marble floors in the chanceler office...

[@sobelou]

Fascinating tour! You gave me quite a few ideas for my next trip to Berlin. Only one objection to your lecture: the idea that Goering's Aviation Ministry was deliberately spared by the Americans doesn't really match reality. It was basically a matter of luck. Bombing in WW2 wasn't nearly precise enough to deliberately hit or miss any small target, plus the RAF was still coming in at night. Thanks!

[@Usikoe23]

Very fascinating and informative videos, thank you so much! 1:08 Hitler was apparently only 5”7 but look how he towers over his army

[@joshuaspivey6141]

I love this dude and his history knowledge I would have loved a history teacher like him some lucky kids who gets this guys class

[@bamther5718]

I was under the belief that most of the rose colored marble from the new reichs chancellor was dismantled and via train taken back to Moscow. Also a separate question since November 9th this year will be the 100th anniversary of the beer hall putz will you be doing a teaching tour of the March to the Odenplatz?? Will the German government allow any on site touring at that time? No glorification nonsense just a deeper understanding of the events of that day. Thanks Mr Butchko..ps I'm a 70 yr old retired pharmacist from Las vegas

[@josephwalther5979]

Much of the Red Marble also went to another Russian War Memorial in Berlin where many of the Soviet soldiers that died during the battle are buried

[@derrmann1800]

being so fascinated with Nazi Germany I love this video. You really know your stuff and seems you even know German. You should do tours so people like myself can fly out there and you can be our tour guide

When i was in Berlin in summer 2014 i visited pretty much every building you mentioned except for Hess office, Goebbels's newspaper head office and i didn't find the exact entrace spot where SS guards used to stand. I visited the former Prinz Albrecht Strasse, Goebbels's Propaganda office that is located in a small road (i couldn't remember the name) and Heydrich, Udet graves at Invalidenfriedhof

[@grahamlowe7388]

www.urban75.org/blog/photos-of-treptower-park-the-soviet-war-memorial-in-berlin-germany/ you missed this monument at the treptower park. The twin monuments were made from the marble from hitler's study. You also missed the topography of terror, it is right next to the Luftwaffe HQ you mentioned. its was the HQ of the GESTAPO prince albrecht strasse it was called. .en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topography_of_Terror ps the americans did not deliberately miss the Luftwaffe HQ. It was the RAF that did vast majority of bombing of berlin and paid in blood. RThe luftwaffe HQ was missed purely by chance.
