This episode of Ten Minute History (like a documentary, only shorter) covers Germany from the end of the First World War to the end of the World War 2. The first half deals with the establishment of the Weimar Republic, its wider problems and the rise of the Nazis. The second half covers how the Third Reich was administered and its fall during the Second World War.

Ten Minute History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated.
Also, I said Treblinka wrong, sorry.

What would have been left out? Most of it sounded like what I usually hear when watching a video like this.

[@IncredibleMD]

@@chrisprizzle278 He left out the fact that the Nazis had enough votes to pass the Enabling Act even if every Communist and Socialist member voted against it. Kicking the Communists out of Parliament didn't really matter much.

[@sanashan0734]

@@IncredibleMD it did matter quite a bit as they were the biggest threat to the nazis if anyone were to attack the nazis it would've been the communists

[@oneeyedrichmond]

@@IncredibleMD Not true. The Nazis with support of the other Nationalist parties could form a majority in the Reichstag but the Enabling Act required a 2/3s supermajority to pass. The Left and centre-left leaning pollies in total could have arranged enough votes to block it. Kicking the Commies out and some SPD (109 in total) combined with threats towards the centre-aligned pollies only then made passing of the Enabling Act a forgone conclusion as resistance was futile. Only the remaining members of the SPD (94) voted against it.

[@taiwandxt6493]

@@oneeyedrichmond I was skeptical of this however looking at it more closely now, you are correct. The Enabling Act needed 67% of the vote to pass, and Hitler won out by a mere 2% of the vote. If the communists and many of the SPD hadn't been essentially purged out of the government, and as well if the Centre Party hadn't been essentially motivated by fear to vote for the act, it 100% would've been blocked. The Centre Party's vote was decisive, and the chairman of the Centre Party pushed his deputies to vote for the bill. His reasonings were due to the "precarious state of the party" and said, "On the one hand we must preserve our soul, but on the other hand a rejection of the Enabling Act would result in unpleasant consequences for fraction and party. What is left is only to guard us against the worst. Were a two-thirds majority not obtained, the government's plans would be carried through by other means. The President has acquiesced in the Enabling Act. From the DNVP no attempt of relieving the situation is to be expected."

Excellent video, considering time constraints you put a lot of detail into this video. For those interested, some extra info 1) Hitler wanted to get rid of the SA not because they were the only ones who could take him down by force, but because the SA at that time was out of control and wanted to split away into a more extremist branch of the Nazi party. Hitler realized that if he was to gain support of the industrial elites and the military (who would never accept hitler as chancellor unless he dismantled SA-their terms) he had to carry out the night of the long knives. 2) Hindenburg appointed hitler as chancellor with the hopes that if hitler was closer to the government, he would work with it not against it (before, the Reichstag couldn't pass any laws because the Nazi party would just get up and leave rendering democracy impossible). But oh was he so wrong....

cannot be criticized. It is strange... because this is so quick, very accurate, but it feels like World War II deserves a "li'l" more detail. loved it... but Pear Harbor deserved a 3 second footnote. gave it a "LIKE!" thanks for all of your videos!

D.M. Conroy Pearl Harbor didn't have anything to do with the Germans tho, right?

[@rayoflight62]

Your video is only ten minutes long, but it is one of the densest on KZbin. The pace of the telling is very fast, that I determined it is not worth to stop and replay the most packed portions, but it is more straightforward to just watch the video twice or thrice. This, from a base that I'm an history buff and don't actually need to learn the facts at the base of the video. Compliments for your precision and historical correctness...

This may be a controversial take, but Germany was no villian of First World War and Treaty of Versailes was way too unfair.. First world war has no one party to blame, UK, France, Germany, Austria, Russia and Ottomans are all to blame for letting it go so far and let 20 million people die in a pointless meat grinder of a war..

[@user-py8zm4pp7v]

It wasnt that harsh.

[@LePineconeMan]

@@user-py8zm4pp7vit was very harsh

[@ShadyIndividual513]

@@LePineconeMan for the treaty for hungary, they lost 72% of their land and 64% of their population. the ottoman empire lost all its middle eastern territories except turkey itself. the treaty between germany and russia caused russia to lose 34% of its population, and 54% of its industrial power, until germany was defeated. germany had to give up 13% of its land and 10% of its population. all central power members had their military's restricted. if the otteman empire wasnt overthrown and some parts of the treaty to be ignored, itd have been restricted to 50.7k soldiers. hungary could only have 35k 'lightly armed' soldiers, and germany could have 100k soldiers. the greatest argument for it being very harsh is the 132 billion marks owed to the allies. however, the allies showed with the other central powers that because their economies were heavily damaged, reparations would be stopped after receiving a few payments, such as for hungary and bulgaria. the problem for germany was that they were missing payments, whether directly not giving money or delivering economically important stuff (factory parts, factory goods etc). this caused the reparations to go on much longer.

[@KommandoCraftLP]

I am from Germany and as this topic makes up most of our history lessons I can say this is quite accurate. I just got one question: How do you define "most democratic country in the world"? I dont think that a single person in a democracy should have the ability to completely blockade the parliament during his seven years long term.

[@VintageLJ]

It was the most democratic electoral system in the world. It afforded suffrage to all above the age of 20 and was entirely proportional.

[@robertjarman3703]

The president wasn't especially powerful compared to most countries at the time, and many of the features the president had could be seen in other constitutions today. The French president has very broad discretion to hold snap elections, basically only restricted by having no more than one election per year, not while emergency powers are exercised (although this probably would have forbade elections while Article 48 was in use), and the president must consult with a few other people but who had no veto over the dissolution. The American president has a veto power that can only be overridden by a 2/3 vote in both houses, which is what the Reichspraesident had. The chancellor was appointed unilaterally by the president, as the French prime minister is today, although the Weimar constitution gave the president to dismiss the chancellor unilaterally too, which we don't see as often, though Austria's president does have that power. The two round system the Weimar Republic had was meant to give a majority for one candidate although oddly enough there was no legal restriction on a third or further candidate entering the second round, which split the vote in 1925 and 1932 (but for the 1932 election the president got a majority regardless). The seven year term is also not so unusual. France had that up until the 21st century after decades of 7 year terms (without a term limit up until the middle of the 2000s too). Ireland also has a 7 year term, Finland and Austria both have terms of 6 years for their modern presidents. The emergency powers were very powerful, although Boris Yeltsin had those powers while Russia was considered arguably a democracy in the 90s up until 2003. The Weimar Republic was a good deal more democratic than most, but the details matter when you create new constitutions. There were big failures, most notably the bad emergency powers, the lack of triggers for a snap election, the presidential power to dismiss the chancellor and the lack of need for the Reichstag to explicitly approve of the chancellor, the lack of a nuclear option for what happens if no stable coalition can be formed, parties in their own right not being democratic, the proportional system being a single nationwide closed list, the veto of the president, the lack of involvement of the federal states in the amendment of the constitution and lack of protected rights that an amendment could not repeal. Those are mistakes Germany took very hard lessons from and created big fixes for these problems.

Hitler's father, Alois Hitler, was one for severe punishment and generally an unpleasant man all round. That may have had an impact on Adolf.
