I think the whole series is amazing. It does such a good job explaining the complexities between WWI and WWII

[@leonhughes134]

Superb commentary and narration. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion. The fools.

[@amer9208]

This man's voice just narrating your day to day 😂

[@luxboss2388]

Real history you done it again with my favorite narrator thanks again 😩😩

[@hhjj621]

I acquired the whole (I hope!) series. Because, not being perfect, is a *cap'n Flint ship's worth* of facts&info.

2:53 If Ol' Neville was so proud of his pact with Hitler, the least he could have done was scrounge around for some folder to put it in. The fool was lucky the wind didn't snatch it from his hands and land it in a puddle...

Air craft of his kind was as sound as Mitchell's.

He gave Lockheed a boost in their very advanced Electra corporate airplane sales. U.S.A. had four very profitable years ahead.

Lets go. Put anything else on hold. Lets goo

Great series - however the Hollywood writers certainly knew exactly what was happening in the Moscow show trials, they wouldn't have put the line in if they did not. This notion people didn't know is convenient for those that went along with Hitler and also a lie.

[@claudettes9697]

Like, I like the facts and presentation, but the music is too fast and loud. Am I old old? I’m not like a senior yet. 😅😢

" I’m not like a senior yet. " Not sure, but you are belly aching like an old geezer. 😂😂😂😂

We’re just gonna pass over Versailles Treaty?

[@jezalb2710]

Nope

[@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935]

The Germans and Hungarians on the wrong side of the new borders were treated like dirt. Much of the Versailles, St Germain and Trianon stupidity goes back to French resentment of 1815.

26:30 “Greatest German in history”? Well, was he wrong? Who was greater? You don’t have to love him to see that he was right He was also the worst German in history.

So you get the date wrong of Kristallnacht (night of the ninth, not 10) and you think people will take your documentary seriously?

[@kellywright540]

Night of the 9th through the 10th. There, fixed it, are you happy?

[@claraoswald_121]

@@kellywright540 I was allready very happy Kelly, the tone of voice of your comment makes me suggest you may not be.

[@imagereader_9]

​ @claraoswald_121 Perhaps you could assemble a 50 minute plus video on a complex topic so we can critique it to determine if IT... and YOU... can be taken seriously... I bet that will be a hoot.... 😂😂😂😂

HITLER CALLED CHAMBERLAIN A LITTLE WEASEL.

The game of pretext began to fail in Sept 38 and fell asunder in March 1939, meaning war on two fronts ultimately. Prague demolished the game, we dont need this documentary propaganda.
