In 1977 I worked for my uncle in a small SW German town as a Flaschner- plumber, metal smith etc. One day we loaded up copper rain gutters for a job when my uncle said "Ein moment". He came out of his house with a 4' long bright red strip of cloth that he tied to the gutters extending out of the truck's rear. I asked him where he got it and he said from a Nazi banner in the basement. He was sent to defend Berlin when he was a 14 year old member of the Hitler Youth and that 25' banner was his last momento that he thought might come in handy someday. R.I.P., Onkel Gerhardt.

After studying WWII for about forty years, I have come to the conclusion that the focus on Hitler is actually a bit overplayed. The state of western civilization at the time was unsustainable. The war to finish the business of The Great War had to happen. The Great War largely ended monarchism. WWII was the death of colonialism. But the causes stretch much further back, to the Napoleonic wars, the French Revolution. It took a couple of hundred years for monarchy to die. Dictatorships were a sort of experiment along the way. The old ideas of class are still around today.

[@jackprecip5389]

Hitler never did either. The ridiculous notion the Hitler wanted to "take over" the world is one of the dumbest pieces of propaganda ever swallowed. The forces he fought against were internationalists who truly do want to control the world, and the actions of the 80 years since his demise has shown that to be undoubtedly true. That's not to say Hitler didn't have his own problems with ego and grandiosity, but he never had any ideas or intentions of "world rule". Hitler always believed, correctly so, that internationalist Marxism and the Soviet Union was always going to be a threat to a free Germany and even Europe's existence, and after Molotov's dictums in early 1941, the recent Soviet military purges, and the Soviets poor military showing after invading Finland the year before convinced Hitler that summer of 1941 was an opportunity to strike them at their weakest. Hitler's biggest problem, his own overinflated ego and lack of recognition of his limits in military tactical knowledge, saw Hitler defy the advice of more experienced military men and went after targets like Stalingrad and Moscow for glory rather than military pragmatism. Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union extending supply lines into a harsh winter against a numerically superior force was a disaster and that doomed Germany, and as we later saw, doomed Eastern Europe into the yoke of Soviet communism for 40 years. Hitler's pompous arrogance, lack of true statesmanship, and most importantly lack of patience would bring misery and destruction upon his fellow Germans. A true leader who truly loves his people and nation would have no problem leaving this earth as a retired old man knowing he was sowing the seeds for a free and prosperous long term future , even without war and parades. Hitler almost thought he was the lead in a deranged opera full of pomp and circumstance that had to have a glorious or tragic conclusion while he was still at the helm.

Even though he didn't agree with Karl Marx he was familiar with his theories. One of those is the cause of the continual business cycle and the worst they become over time requiring the destruction of commodities before the production for the market can recover. Capitalism enter a crisis when overproduction for markets prevents the sale of commodities for a profit. This is the natural result of a system where the workers can not buy back all that we produce. Production is done for a private profit until losses inevitably take charge, production slows and the capitalist socialise crisis and the burden caused by the losses is put onto the backs of the workers, farmers and small businessmen.

[@kimobrien.]

@@colescott8756 So what? Lots of people study Marx and just because some one once was a "Marxist or Leinints" doesn't mean they always will be. Nor do I believe Hitler was anything like Lenin either. As Marx explained communism is a movement of a class on its way to power. Its leaders point the way forward for the international proletarian class struggle. Not backwards to a German Employers Empire. Hitler specifically denounced the Marxist for leading a class struggle when he wanted to unite all Germans. You can read all the documents for yourself. Marx specifically refers to German or "True Socialism" as reactionary. Marx ends the Communist Manifesto with Workers of the World Unite. Not Germans fight for a greater Germany because you are a Master Race. I don't believe something just because Goebbels said it.but you welcome to believe in Hitler and Goebbels if you like.

[@colescott8756]

@@kimobrien. Before the Bolsheviks took over in the October revolution, there were a handful of prominent Marxists groups competing for power. Obviously the Bolsheviks won, but the point is there are different beliefs and doctrines in Marxism. Hitler did differ from Marx in some ways, as he was a National Socialist, not an International Socialist. The same core concepts of socialism were applied in Nazi Germany, but Hitler used a more nationalistic version, which was more acceptable to the German culture at the time. Don't be mistaken, it was Marxism. Different shit, same stink.

@@colescott8756 Sure the number of groups was small but the Bolsheviks had won the majority in the Soviets in October along with their coalition partners the Left Social Revolutionaries. The revolution was kicked off by women textile workers striking on International women's day. Hitlers partners were the German Capitalist Parliamentary Parties he was appointed Chancellor of German by President General Hindenburg. His theory was one of open class collaboration. If anything his party was more like the Democrats and Republicans. It was made up of small businessmen and white collar employees. He made a name for himself by breaking strikes and busting up political meetings with thugs. This is why the German employers turned to him.

@@colescott8756 Hitler specifically says he is against marxism. What more do you want? Like I said his party was more like The American Democtats and Republicans.

Laws written and found Constitutional by the twin parties of American capitalism. .Henry Ford got a NAZI medal just before war broke out. Hitler republished Henry Fords "International Jew." an anti semitic rant distributed at Ford dealerships. You problem is the stench of fascism smells the same as American Imperialism. People like Bush, Trump, Clinton, Obama, and Biden sound much like Hitler when they talk about American exceptionalism, America being the worlds leader, and A New World Order. FDR wanted to save American capitalism. We've been an obstacle to the grand plans of the worlds ruling classes since the Bolshevik government of Lenin and Trotsky took state power from the rot of Kerensky the CZAR's minister of war.

[@m.r4841]

Nonsense

[@LeeZaslofsky]

The Social Democrats were a democratic party that had been the major support of the Republic in Germany. The Republic's Constitution was fully democratic, with respect for human rights. That was in large part due to the Social Democrats. The Communists were under Stalin's control, as were all Communist Parties at that time. His policy was to fight the Social Democrats as "social fascists" and try to win the support of the working class. The Communists fought hard against the Nazis, including in the streets. But their attitude toward the Social Democrats was hostile, and it proved impossible for the two working class parties to cooperate against Nazism. However, the working class parties won over 30% of the votes in the election of March 1933, in the face of Nazi repression. The idea that Britain and the US supported the USSR is ridiculous. Stalin's regime was solid and was able to implement a massive program of industrialization and collectivization in the face of huge obstacles. This enabled the USSR to have the major role in the defeat of Germany, despite German occupation of much of the country.

[@LeeZaslofsky]

Britain and its Empire, the United States, and the USSR were allies in the war with Nazi Germany. Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, and Britain and France declared war on Germany. They had warned Hitler that if he attacked Poland, they would declare war. Hitler had a treaty with the USSR when he attacked Poland. In return for large territories, the USSR agreed to invade Poland from the East, and to supply Germany with many products, including oil, grain, minerals etc. In 1941 Hitler launched the largest invasion force in history against the USSR without a declaration of war, in a sneak attack along the entire border. The Soviets were taken by surprise and the Germans were able to move swiftly hundreds of kilometers into the USSR. They took millions of prisoners, most of whom they killed by starvation, exposure, disease and mass shootings. The USSR fought back, and the most savage war in human history began. Later in 1941 Japan attacked the US without warning and the US declared war on Japan. Hitler had a treaty with Japan, and he honored it by declaring war on the US a few days after the Japanese attack. Hitler had now gone to war with Britain, the USSR and the US. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" -- the three countries at war with Germany cooperated against their common enemy, and after four years they defeated Germany. The UK and the US were democratic countries. The USSR was a dictatorship ruled by Stalin through the Communist Party. These countries were very different, but they worked together in spite of those differences to defeat the common enemy.

The evidence shows that it was Van der Lubbe who did it. The Nazis had no role in setting the fire. Hitler had a majority in the Reichstag as part of the ruling coalition. In March 1933 he won a majority in coalition with the conservatives. He banned the Communist Party, which had elected 81 deputies; and attacked the Social Democrats, many of whose deputies fled or stayed away from the Reichstag. He thereby created a two thirds majority for his Party, and was able to pass the Enabling Act, which cancelled the Constitution and gave him dictatorial power.

Yes and no. Germany was evil in starting and in the manner they waged WWI, as well. The victors were ticked at Germany for the FIRST time around.

They committed tons of atrocities across the battlefields of Europe. It was not a "clean" war. It never is with Germany.

[@williamfields4534]

An excellent, informed comment. British economist John Maynard Keynes spoke out against the Treaty of Versailles and its long term consequences. To your point, he predicted the start of WW2 to within a few days based on the desire to hold Germany solely accountable for WW1. The rise of Hitler and the Nazi party reflected the financial devastation of Germany and belief that a “strong man” was needed to deal with the collapse of normal life. Once Hitler was given power, the German people were simply along for the ride. Had Keynes’ warnings been heeded in 1918-19, so much tradgedy might have been avoided.

With all due respect to Fritz Lustig where he praises his first sense of freedom in Cherbourg, he must realise that had he stayed in France there were many there who raised no objection to Pétain’s acquiescence - even “worse” ie more - collaboration with the Nazis as regards the Jewish population - whether of French nationality or of immigrant origins. Moreover that in ALL BAR ONE French overseas territories and possessions there was either full blown military opposition to Britain’s appeals and eventual military opposition eg in Syria, where Vichy FRANCE sought to assist Nazi German support to the anti- Brit Iraqi Rachid Alli; in Morocco, military opposition to Britain and De Gaulle, in French Indo-China, a Vichy marine task force to the French Islands in Australasia to “save” them from Australia and New Zealand, in Algeria and Tunisia, military opposition to the Anglo-American Torch operation, in Madagascar military opposition to Britain’s wish to save THEM from the Japanese, Djibouti, stubborn opposition to join Britain in her fight against the worst evil in world history - where else in the whole French Empire was there a single voice in favour of Britain? In Gabon, and perhaps in French India where they had little choice anyway - so bully for them anyway and they were bloody damned lucky! Not even in the French West Indies were there many dissenting voices in favour of Britain’s war! I hope Fritz Lustig heard the beautiful voice of Martha Schlamme R.I.P. and her praise and description of Britain when she graced Britain with her youthful presence, and not that it was easy either, but Britain was at war and there were plenty of anti-semites in a country too close for comfort with its criminal pseudo neutrality! Fritz Lustig’s tone of voice when criticising Britain, France and Poland “not wanting war”! Who wanted war after La Somme of WW1? Appeasement if not wrong turned out to be also bordering on the criminal too… Poor old Neville - he thought he was doing his best - in “so called good faith” to save the world: noble idea, but hopelessly out of his depth AND worse that he didn’t realise it! Daladier did realise it but Neville couldn’t deign ie “lower” himself to talk to Daladier - respect for the French language not one of his qualities. The one potential “saviour” out in the dog-house was Churchill: who summed up Appeasement as that of a man who feeds the crocodile in the belief that by his generosity the crocodile will eat him last… God help us Mr Fritz Lustig, I do hope you did say and more than once in your war years - and I was there too dammit! - “Thank God we had Winston and King George VI too!” Postscriptum addenda: This is an excellent production and I do give thanks to the Producers for it. That said, I do not agree with the comment passed apropos the take-over of Austria, that it was a dictatorship and that the regime had done Hitler’s work for him…As another GM said [ and God rest his Soul, and R.I.P.] “all is relative”. And so it was, Chancellor Dollfuss was not a bad man, took power by a blip fault of the incompetent democratic system (not entirely but…) and it so came to pass that a certain big-mouthed challenger to the parliamentary system ie Mussolini was on the rise because “his system was getting things done eg applying Keynes’s doctrines whereas the democracies were only talking about them…”. All wrong of course, but many sympathised nevertheless, and Big Ego ie Musso didn’t think much of Adolf either - at the time - and included Dollfuss among his friends…When the Austro-Nazis murdered Dollfuss, Schussnig succeeded but Big Ego didn’t like him - too professorial, too reserved, too gentlemanly, etc etc - and Schussnigg did certainly lack the dynamic of poor assassinated Dollfuss R.I.P….in the end the banned demo parties were ready to be at one with Schussnigg against the Evil of the day…but poor old Schussnig couldn’t face the probability of bloodshed… AND bloody hell he wasn’t alone either, was he? And what of that KARL RENNER voting for Hitler? And spending a comfortable war time? And then being warmly accepted by the Russians in 1945 as their favourite Austro Political Statesman? Renner a Statesman? How he got away with it, goodness knows?

[@olympiahendrix4392]

Good for you for telling it the way it was for real. Not France's most illustrious page of history but then they are so good at flipping that crepe! Not the only country with dirty hands during that nazi invasion! Thank God for Churchill indeed. Nazis are still there, never went away. How the nazis justified appropriating half of Europe's wealth and got away with it to win the war after all remains a hot topic and a pressing question to the USA now that archives are being released. Including the Russian ones who arrived first in Berlin BTW. My passive German is rather good and I have sat too many times in front of a slice of torte not to have heard the true feelings of that "repentant" population! To be forgiven and readmitted in the fold requires making amends and true awareness of the pain caused!There is not enough torte in the world to convince me such is the case. To the contrary actually, look around at facts and recognize the signature! Look at the revenge list! It is there! in plain view! They are well on the road of victimhood by now: they need validation for all the pain they suffered! War finished, they just learned to rock and roll and camouflage! Did America ever denazify? You have to understand banking to understand history! The rest is just blabla-bla from PhD's in literature! Nazism is alive and well. It is in a state of revival, undergoing a makeover. Hitler disappointed at the end but they are rehabilitating Rudolf Hess now. There is enough mystery there to please everyone! They should open a crepe shop for their revivals! ukrainian historians got it: let us not call it genocide, only ethnic cleansing! They cleansed the Donbass alright, even though I can't call it: is placing IED's at the bottom of ethnic Russian kid's slides constitutes genocide or ethnic cleansing? Either way their government back them up BY LAW. Lest anyone missed it! Banking!!!!! Numbers never lie but bankers do, mind you. Nothing a little forensic investigation can't uncover with prescription abolished and all Trust Funds busted open! Or you can do what the Italians do: tax people on their lifestyle: luxury home+apartment at the sea side+import car+domestic car= tot NB: a few positives: Mussolini made the trains run on time, put all the children in school in a uniform, rounded up all the mafia, eradicated malaria in Italy. Hitler: opened the entire Europe for looting and gave them each a car for it too! What's there not to love in a leader?😆 That poor crepe is in rags by now besides everybody is eating chow mein now! They have their own method of flipping a crepe! Keep well! Keep those eyes on the crepe!

Yeah.The French were big collaborators of the Nazi's.They put pressure on the Sultan of Morocco for him to give up his Jewish population to Vichy officials who wanted to deport them and gas them.He famously said:"What you do with your Jews is your affair,but mine are Moroccan citizens and therefore under my protection,so leave them alone." Not one single Moroccan Jew ended up in a concentration camp...the French Navy refused to give up it's Mediterranean fleet to the Royal Navy who then had to sink it in French Algeria.The French are still blaming the Brits for their cowardice which resulted in the killing of French service men and the sinking of perfectly good warships.

12:45-12:57 Joachim Fest in his "Hitler" (p.73) says that the question of promoting Hitler to the rank of noncommissioned officer had occasionally arisen, but had always been decided in the negative “because we could discover no leadership qualities in him”, said the adjutant of the List Regiment at the Nuremberg trial. And he added that Hitler himself had not wanted to be proposed for promotion. The story may be apocriphal, but Fest tells it - although, as far as I can see, he offers no bibliographical reference.

Apart from the social security starvation prevention system, only government employees have access to the government employee salary-replacement system (that can start as young as age 37). Those who have worked in the free-enterprise system (which supposedly is what our society is based on) get zero dollars per month from the pension-industrial complex, irregardless of how many decades they have worked. Government employee retirees live at a way- above-royalty level. Royalty must make public appearances, give speeches, etc for their salaries. If retired from a federal, state, city, or municipal job your salary CONTINUES to come although you stop-going-to work. STOP GOING TO WORK. This continues until you take your last breath.

The US and sate governments implemented health measures that were similar to those in ALL other countries, and were designed to reduce the spread of the virus. Because of the superstitious conspiracy theories of some people, these measures were much less effective in the US than in other countries (except Brazil). In Canada, there was much less resistance to sensible health measures,and thus the rate of death from COVID was much lower than in the US. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of Americans died because they did not get the same protection as existed in most countries. It is hard to believe that in such an advanced country as the US, supposedly the world leader in science and innovation, superstition became so widespread. It was as if a whole segment of the American population was suddenly transported mentally back to the Middle Ages, when people believed in witches and goblins, and blamed the old lady down the block for making their cow sick by witchcraft. This is the same segment that also believes the 2020election was stolen, that going to church and being "washed in the blood of Jesus" is a good way to prevent COVID, and that it's wise politics to harass and insult the leading epidemiologist in the country, a renowned expert like Dr. Fauci . As in the Middle Ages, there suddenly appeared "prophets" or "experts" who denied that the virus existed, or claimed that the Devil (China) sent it to the US to kill the good Christians who love Jesus. Other "prophets"preached Do Nothing About It, let it Wash Through, killing and sickening Americans, in order to build up "herd immunity". Others harassed health care professionals, gathering outside hospitals to shout insults and threats. All these were exactly similar to the superstitious actions of people in the Middle Ages, when no one had ever heard of a virus, and disease was thought to originate in the "bad air" of swamps (mal aria = bad air in Italian). Superstition gives contagious disease a huge advantage. In America it allowed the virus to kill many people who, if they hadn't believed in superstitious nonsense, would likely be alive today. But then, some Americans didn't care because many of the people who died were old anyway, and many were non-white, so COVID helped to slow down the Browning of America. And now the preachers of superstition are trying to take over the government, so they can impose their nonsense on all Americans and really jack up the death rate the next time there's a pandemic.

Rightwing national "socialism" vs. fascism is semantics in the end. The title is "how" fascism" took hold via despite anyone's desire to misdirect it otherwise. As Fox and Tucker Carlson might say, "the Nazi's weren't violoent people, they were out for a nice parade, global sight-seeing". (that's a joke for the non-woke aka educated amongst the internet). Arguing that Nazi's aren't facistist is very disengnious at best and word salad for propagandists looking to misdirect; so just to be clear: Fascism: a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government. (Per the Britannica dicitionary) Sounds like Nazi's to me.

@ KJamesB, I agree somewhat, it's just the Nazi crew on stage now are off script without the leadership or the heart of what Rorm's SA men had, of the real Storm Troopers. They're certainly disrupting the nation and confusing the people, but they're uncoordinated and the strategy of Adolf Hitler is lacking. Tucker Carlson is no Goobles. *Excuse the spellings.

[@ritemolawbks8012]

I didn't know what you were talking about until I looked at the comments, and apparently people really don't understand that Nazi Germany was a fascist and ultra-nationalist. They also don't seem to recognize that it's a right-wing ideology and that the "socialist" in the party name doesn't make Nazis left-wingers. The problem is with the educational system.

_" Arguing that N azi's aren't facis tist is very disengnious at best"_ Wrong. Nazis m and fasc ism were two completely separate socia list ideologies.

[@Historia.Magistra.Vitae.]

_"Fasc ism: a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government."_ And that is the definition of basic totali tarianism/dicta torship, not fas cism. Britannica got that wrong. Fasc ism was an outgrowth of Sorellian Syndicalism, which itself was an outgrowth from Marxist socia lism. The idea was that society would be consolidated (i.e., incorporated) into syndicates (in the Italian context, fascio/fasci) which would be regulated by and serve as organs for the state, or "embody" the state (corpus = body). The purpose wasn't the promotion of private interest, but the centralization and synchronization of society under the state, as an end unto itself. To quote Mussolini's infamous aphorism: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."

I do disagree with the historians veiws on hitler creating the "swastika". It was an ancient symbol used by the Navajo indians long before Hitler was even on this planet.

[@anthonyelwick3600]

Actually Mussolini invented fascism and hitler used to poke fun at him by calling him the fascist. Hitler wasn't a fascist

[@m.r4841]

Nonsense. Hitler adored Mussolini. Hitler was a fascist as well. He built Germany after Italians Fascism.

[@Historia.Magistra.Vitae.]

@@m.r4841 _" H itler was a fas cist as well. "_ Wrong. Hitl er was a national soci alist, not a fas cist. Nazi sm and fasc ism were two separate ideologies.

[@Historia.Magistra.Vitae.]

@@m.r4841 _"He built Germany after Italians Fasc ism."_ Wrong. Naz ism as an ideology was established before Muss olini's fasci sm for crying out loud. Germany didn't also have syndica lism, while fas cism did.

[@ChristopherJames1993]

The Nazis basically tried to bring Communism to the German race. That’s why it was National Socialism. Hitler started as a Marxist then created a racist and nationalist version of Socialism for the German race. Still got rid of class and unified the nation. The people are the body of the state and a body needs a head. They weren’t reactionary or conservative at all. They literally wanted to destroy the conservative economy and hierarchy to create their own Autarky.

A society based on CREATIVE WORK.

[@LeeZaslofsky]

Yeah, like invading many neutral countries, massacring millions of innocent people, bringing total destruction on its own people, and suicide of the gang that had seized power.

[@maplobats]

"Make Germany great again!" That reminds me of something much more recent... just can't think of what it was...

[@LeeZaslofsky]

MAGA -- the American style of fascism!

[@russeuro7944]
