HOI4 - The Megainot Line - The Episode Where Germany Kills Themselves

Check out the merch: bit.ly/RimmyBe... bit.ly/RimmyTs...
If you know a Germany in need of aid, don't wait - speak out and get them help. You might be able to stop them before they declare war on every single living person outside of their borders. Only you can prevent the Reich from taking its own life.
ANYWAY yeah that requests for free Hearts of Iron stuff is real, multiple times - why is that people think I am just loaded up with random stolen keys or that I would nab the game that I play for like, 80% of my videos? Anyway - enjoy lads, this run was actually quite fun, but it was the only time I wished the AI was dumber.
Also, double fun fact - I think by putting the 'p' word, that refers to unlawfully taking an object and/or sailing the seven seas, KZbin flagged this video as being unadvertiser friendly. Cheers, you broken bloody robot.

Not to mention the ridiculous amount of interservice rivalry between the Heer, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine, the Abwehr vs SD, SS vs regular army units, and others.

39:44 Joke's on you, the Reichstag is still a thing in modern day Germany, although the national assembly is called Bundestag, they assemble within the parliament building, which is called Reichstag

[@user-ld4qt6ci7b]

Is it still the same building?

[@Skud1st]

Yes, however, this way not always the case. During the time when Germany was split (1949-1990), the "Bundestag", our national assembly, was located in the "Bundeshaus" in Bonn. In 1991 (about a year after German reunification), the Bundestag voted for moving to the old Reichstag building. Since after it has been reconstructed (by 1999), the Bundestag is located in the Reichstag building.

empire instead of kingdom and the "-tag" in this case is not coming from the word "Tag" which means day, but from the word "Tagung" which means assembly. in this case the "-tag" in "Reichstag" is the place were the politicians assemble for their debates and adittionally would it be new to me, that the "Bundestag" is still referred to as the "Reichstag", although it's true, that it is still the same building that existed since the end of WW1
