You are a n exceptional narrator. This video series is gripping and bone chilling. I am so very grateful for your hard work and passion. As a child I and my family lived in Germany on two separate occasions. My father took us to two former concentration camps and several other sites of war . He was a career American soldier. I asked him why we were visiting these places. He explained that he wanted us to take the opportunity to witness for ourselves the horror that took place so that we could pass the experience on to our children. I can still feel the heaviness and despair that permeated the very earth that Dachau and Bergen Belsen stood on. I have never forgotten and I have told my children.

It is interesting to note that the view toward Jews that Lina ascribes to her husband are strikingly similar - almost word for word - that she, herself, had earlier expressed as the views she'd formed as a schoolgirl. Homeless, scavenging invaders given to take advantage of their unwilling hosts. This, from the same man, when she first met him, had been derogatory of the party she was an established and ardent member of.

Well I heard that it was actually not uncommon for Nazi war criminals to both be evil while they were killing countless innocent people but being loving and doting fathers to their children and giving them presents and tucking them into bed at night and telling them bedtime stories. Do not underestimate the banality of evil as in reality almost everyone depending on the circumstances could commit horrible atrocities. A Nazi could actually both be a loving father to their children but also still willingly pulled a trigger that shot people to death and also willingly pulled a switch that put poisonous gases in gas chambers which then killed everyone who were inside the gas chambers and also willingly put Zyklon b in gas chambers which killed everyone who were inside the gas chambers and did so with no remorse or regret.

They faced nothing in earnest, that's what I feel. And even if they did, that wouldn't have made ammends.

Though, each and every dead Jew, American, French, British and even the jaggoff Russians.. The blood is all on him and the other nazis.. Cowards.. Not all of them.. I don't think Heydrich was a coward at all.. Regardless of disgust at his actions.... He was certainly a monster which I believe the world is lucky that he was killed when it happened..

Very excellent work. But, although it isn't directly relevant, you don't mention the fact that Heydrich probably had Jewish blood-- a great great grandparent. The records that might have proved this disappeared and the parish church where his ancestor was married Heydrich turned into a heavy weapons (howitzer and mortar) range. I'd also like to note that I was stationed in West Germany in the late 1960's in the U.S. Army for nearly 3 years, I was in Frankfurt, Nurnberg and West Berlin. I spoke pretty good German in those days, and met lots of Germans many of whom had fought in WW II. In retrospect, I think it was rather amazing that not one of them ever fought on the Western Front. Or so they said. When you consider that 85% of German casualties occurred on the Eastern Front it becomes even more amazing. While I don't accuse anyone of lying, why is it I find this hard to believe ?

The other uncle had a severe case of jaundice and was sent back to Germany, never to return to Russia.

"I have sympathy for the German people following the iniquities of the Treaty of Versailles..." This sentence of yours is very close to similar claims in Germany before the Nazis came to power. It was precisely on the basis of such stereotypes that a vengeful and revanchist ideology was built. It has been shown that from small, seemingly innocuous claims, big and vicious problems can arise later that create monsters within their ranks. When it all ends up in the incinerators of the cities and the hecatombs of corpses, some of those smart people just shrug their shoulders and laconically say that they didn't mean it that way.

In the 1960's in Athens, Georgia a German Nazi family lived two doors down the street from my family. The parents had both been born/raised in Germany, members of Hitler youth, and the father had been in the German Panzer Division in WWII. They often spoke to everyone about how they were German Nazis, had immigrated to the US after the war, and thought themselves quite a significant and wonderful gift to the United States. They told everyone how desperately unfair and frightening everyday life had been in Germany for the good deserving German people given the tremendous inflation and high unemployment. After Germany's defeat in WWII, this family thought they more than deserved to immigrate to the US and claim the wonderful life they so richly deserved. They were in no way apologetic and proudly spoke of their Nazi beliefs/activities. They considered themselves to be significantly more intelligent and worldly than their Georgian neighbors. They always presented themselves as a remarkable and highly valued GIFT to the town. For the rest of their lives they openly clung to their German heritage and proudly insisted that they were far, far superior to Americans.
