“ The worship of the state is the worship of force. There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. The worst evils which mankind ever had to endure were inflicted by governments.” ~ Ludwig bin Mises

[@tom2gunzbombadil689]

[@fredocuomo5386]

kinda sounds like the u.s. govt

[@robertphillips93]

Jawohl, bestimmt! It also follows that a real antidote is not another, "different" nationalism, or even some some flavor of antinationalism or globalism (supernationalism) -- but radical individualism, of the sort envisioned and fostered by the U.S.Constitution. This type of individual is, paradoxically, a uniting influence -- but the cost and specific efforts needed to realise widespread accomplishment of such a beneficial result are vanishingly rare in today's world. Nevertheless, such means are available to any who act with likeminded partners to meet the need.

[@k.o.hakala2112]

Is not an argument against government. There is nothing to be gained from unilateral disarmament as the corrupt, vile and evil men will still form governments to seize control of the affairs of the world.

[@FernandoLima42]

[@TurboWingnut]

Around 1 hour in, Jocko and Echo are talking about how the generals aren't getting glory possibly because Hitler was threatened. Another possibly is that Hitler was enlisted and wanted to shine light on them because of a sense of brotherhood. Also, recognizing them will probably inspire them to perform beyond what they normally would.

[@TurboWingnut]

Lol, as soon as I finished writing the comment, the next sentence out of Jocko's mouth was about Hitler being a corporal and a runner.

[@bigvinnie3]

He was not a fan of the officer corps or the prussian elite thats why in his private army(Waffen-SS) requirements to become an officer were much more relaxed in the sense it was open to anyone who was properly qualified. Unlike the Heer officer corps had been for most of its history.

There was a HUGE amount of tension between the Nazi party and the General Staff of the German Army. To understand the General Staff, read Clausewitz. In particular, the Prussians and Hitler hated each other and "Nazi General" was considered an insult.

[@Bahamut3525]

It's funny to see Jocko is wrestling with his feelings of admiration for the obvious efficiency of German military thinking, then quickly and constantly having to remind himself and the audience: "But they were evil damn Nazis after all". But this is based of course on the victors' post WW2 narrative of history.

[@LionheartSJZ]

I noticed this as well. One cannot help but admire the achievements of the German military back then while at the same time feeling guilty about it.

[@alexanderqwarfordt2037]

As long as you keep the ideology and the horrific acts they carried out in the name of ideology, the actual military aspect was admirable and is something im sure many armies still today take good lessons from.

[@toddcorm9423]

Excellent episode!! As an avid military history buff, and student of Sun Tzu’s Art of War, this examination of German military doctrine was a great learning experience! Well done! I read Field Marshall Rommel’s biography (also Eisenhower’s) and Rommel had a particular doctrine he espoused, called “Do it clean.” If you did things right, every time, it would keep you out of trouble and lead to an honorable victory. This eventually led to his disillusionment and division from Hitler.

[@Adam-kf6lr]

Apparently the North Africans loved Rommel, said he used to smoke hashish with them while they were building runways.

These scientists and engineers weren't all that "nazi". They just enjoyed doing their research and having the financial support to do so. If they had been dyed in the wool nazis they would have refused to work for the Americans. Plus, US scientists developed the atomic bomb, full well knowing what it would do and apparently most of them didn't have moral objections. So scientists being so in love with their research that they don't care what the consequences are isn't a German issue here.

1:45:55 I am not a soldier and have done no legit military marching, however, I find this quite impressive. I've done some marathons, and an ironman, and I know how tough those can be with no extra weight on terrain with average vertical. 85 miles in 3 days with a whole battalion in 3 days seems near the limit if there it was actually through mountains. I know it is possible to go faster and farther but that is without the extra weight and that is not as a battalion. Unless I'm missing something here or am just way out of line if so please set me straight. 4 mph seems like a sustainable pace with a 40-pound ruck and mild terrain for up to 40-50 miles but 85 miles through MOUNTAINS. That's some ultramarathon-level athletic performance from a whole battalion. That's 28.667 miles a day, at 4 mph it is 7.16 hrs of moving without stopping for anything. Add in food, sleep, logistics, navigation, etc., and in a warzone, things are getting tight. Please someone with some actual experience in military combat long-range foot patrol please, give your experience and insight.

[@Bahamut3525]

@@jrocgnomesayin8697 They didn't all have pervitin as American myth portrays. It was a very expensive drug that couldn't be issued to all soldiers. It was issued mostly to the Air Force elites who had to fly mission after mission without rest. Not 90% of the Army. For the average soldier, finding a bottle of booze was the drug of choice before an assault.

[@QuadraticCoStanza]

@@Bahamut3525 agreed. In the book Blitz they talk about soldiers writing home to have their families send them pills. My understanding is they were on it during the French blitzkrieg which is why they were so amped up and kept charging forward beyond what was planned.

Jocko seems hardcore as hell, but he has an undercurrent of humor which cracks me up sometimes. He actually refers to Hitler as "Bro..." (I think it's in the section where he talks about him abandoning his troops for death at Stalingrad). I'm sorry, that just cracked me up. We're talking about perhaps the most destructive human in history, and Jocko's just like, "You need to follow your own guidelines, Bro..." Hahahahaha!!! If you take life (even Stalingrad) too seriously, it'll bend you like a pretzel. That's hard to remember, but always good to...

[@zinhobarros2592]

Standing by to get some

[@Cyclopsvision14]

On first sight it would seem strange that the highly intense officer training would be called "aristocratic" but I think Americans in general have a hard time understanding Aristocracy. In Europe officer traditions came from the traditions of the nobility and the nobles were historically the warrior class. Therefore their training started when they were just children. What happens in mass army of mechanization in modernity is that the warrior profession is open to everybody. So if you want to maintain your traditions you have to come up with far more intense qualifications in order to keep your traditions. American officer school is quite the opposite. Anybody can become an officer granted they have college and they make it physically.

[@PatrickHenry-pz1pd]

The German military (before 1939 and to 1945) had comradery, faith, brother and sisterhood, all that. They were united and determined and proud, especially after their defeat and humiliation in the Great War (aka European War), Treaty of Versailles, and total defeat. Great study/overview of this and I believe it's important to learn from.

[@petrairene]

Yeah, the Versailles treaty caused great sympathy for the promises Hitler made. Without Versailles WW2 would probably not have happened.

[@alexandercampbell0001]

Great point. As much as Wilson may have been a horrible president, in terms of his domestic policy, he was correct about how the central powers should have been handled in defeat. Had his 14 points been implemented the post war period may have been a bit different. However, i dont know that it would have changed all the conflict and chaos in eastern europe. A lot of people forget that there were numerous small wars in central and eastern europe after wwi, not to mention the bolshevik revolution, that eventually laid a lot of the groundwork for the second world war.

[@LockonStratos21]

It's not that Germany didn't adapt, it just couldn't keep up with the losses in the east and the industrial base was getting destroyed, so it became increasingly more difficult to replace its losses. Also, 80% of Germany's losses were in the east against the USSR....

[@shaolinred7680]

Very good episode. Just a side note: Rommel was never a Nazi. Nazis were members of the National Socialist political party, which sought to dominate all aspects of German society- like all socialist do. The Nazis formed their own parallel military units-the guys in all black with the "Death's Head" badge on their caps- in addition to the Wehrmacht, the professional military class of soldiers.

[@Intranetusa]

It's true that Rommel never ofically joined the Nazi party. However, he did support the Nazi party, was considered a defacto National Socialist in ideology by high ranking Nazi leaders like Goebbels, and he personally admired and was very friendly with Hitler. And yes, socialism taken to an extreme like the far left Soviet or Maoist socialism or far right German fascist-socialism both seek to dominate all aspects of society and create a brutal totalitarian state.

[@jamajnasoares5702]

'nazi' = boogieman. National Socialists.

[@elliota.1063]

It's inaccurate to say all socialists seek to dominate all aspects of society. Most areas of society (the Interstate highway system, the FDA, the EPA, etc) include aspects of socialism (ie, a contribution by everyone for a public good). One has to beware Far Right talking points. They'll have everyone worried about "Socialism" while they try to overthrow democracy (ie Jan 6th), and use the government to exert more control over individuals than American socialists ever have (ie, forcing raped 10 year olds to carry their pregnancy to term, etc). Authoritarianism (in whatever form it takes) is what one should guard against. Just sayin'...

[@Intranetusa]

​ @Elliot A. It is true that not all socialists seek to dominate society. However, greater levels of socialism leads to greater chances of authoritarianism because more socialism (defined as public/govt control of property & production) requires a more powerful centralized authority (eg. government) with more powers to regulate or outright control industry or the private sector. Furthermore, the far right are often socialists to a heavy degree too. The fascists of WW2 promoted national socialism where they government took over and strong armed private businesses to further state interests. The Trump brand of far right promotes more government control when it suits them and a bigger military (a socialist institution controlled by the state).

[@elliota.1063]

@@Intranetusa Yes... I get SOO tired of hearing the indoctrinated (of which there are many) get all worried about big bad, scary "Socialism" (you know, like Social Security and Medicare) while they pay ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION to rapidly creeping Fascist Authoritarianism in our politicians, Supreme Court and other judiciaries, etc. Many of us are like people running away from an imaginary danger they've been told will come from the sky, not noticing they're running into a very real danger that's all around them on the ground...

Omggg percussion Major!! You have to be SUPER accountable and perform meticulously…you will mess up the entire orchestra lol A LOT of counting and staying focused😄 I knew you were going to say music (I was hoping it was viola!!🎻) lol but actually…the ancient Greeks believed the study of music was one of the essential studies to create a whole person😁🎶

It's sad that after 6 years of college I've learned more about world history from This podcast than I did from Buffalo State College (Engeneering/ Science Major) Bless up from Brooklyn. Solid EDUCATUONAL episode for those that do not know these important historical events

I like Chadd Wrights story about being the middle of the pack and never getting noticed. Don't be the best, but don't be worst. And in most things in life you won't be the best. Just don't be the worst.

The most surprising part is how many Americans with German heritage participated at that time in Nazi/Hitler Youth camps here in the States. 🤷‍♂️ Ideology and playing the king game is very underrated by many. 🤧

I met a person who was a self affirmed Hitler youth. He called it the boy scouts.

59:45 In the deepest remorse regarding what this regime caused, one must acknowledge how precisely the guidelines and frameworks were set. If either by chance or deliberately, this framework was so well written. It was able to address many aspects of human nature, its wants&needs, and motivations. It was able to Capture, Manage and Lead an enormous amount of people and lead them to cause massive destructions, otrocities. It is very scary, when you imagine that the human nature is prone to get misled by (somebody, something), to cause massive otrocities while thinking, that they do a "good" thing, serving "higher" purpose.
