why Nuremberg was chosen? Because it has a railway transport hub, and was and is one of the oldest German locations for major trade fairs - even today the fairs are an important part of the Nuremberg economy. Nuremberg therefore had the logistics, the hotels, inns, hostels and restaurants - also with the Zeppelin Airship field the space for mass gatherings. Nuremberg is also relatively close to Munich, the parties´ main centre....

The National Film Theatre ran the films ca. 1972; word went around that if you watched you'd come out Nazi. Since I've had access to the material I've realized how forbidding it must have seemed with those serried ranks of goose-stepping bodies. My mother was at a Furtwangler concert in Bonn in 1938. When it came to the national anthem and Nazi salute at the end, my mother didn't want to stand out and joined in. As a result she never blamed the Germans for their devotion. The BdM had an alternative title: Bald deutsche Mutter (Soon German Mother)

02:17 "built up to a crescendo". A rare error by Tom Holland. You don't build up to a crescendo - a crescendo is a building up of volume, starting quietly and getting louder. You can build up to, say, a climax, but you can't build up to a crescendo.

My mum grew up in 1930s small town Austria. In 1938 an open top 6 wheeled Mercedes passed below her window, carrying a man wearing a swastika armband, which stopped at the bottom of the town to meet some "Alten Kampfers" (old fighters). At school, her normal teachers were replaced by party members who immediately instructed the students to let the teachers know, if parents ever said anything critical about the regime. My mother promptly told her parents about this- her loyalties remained always with her family- as with many other children...

Great video! I'm really enjoying your series on the psychological origins on Nazis in Germany, which was anti-intellectual, obsessed with human physiques, and bullied their youth into a war like mindset. It was the one of the scariest governments to ever come to power, which led to the rise of the international order led by the United States. Also, it was wonderful for Jessie Owen's and the American track team to show up the supposed master race in the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

After listening to this on Spotify i must have spent an entire evening watching Triumph of the will and Olympia and interviews with Leni Riefenstahl

[@anncouper-johnston6112]

I got really worried at one point .... why, just WHY, was I so obsessed with the Nazis .... Just recently I learned that professional historians can't leave it alone, either. I think it's the paradox of it: explaining how a jumped-up little Corporal got to be Chancellor (and that in an age when class still mattered). A whole evening of Leni Riefenstahl sounds like you've caught the same bug ... I studied German long years ago, and we had a couple of lectures on Nazi propaganda. I also asked my godmother how people felt in 1933, and she described it as 'ein leichtes Unbehagen' (somewhat uneasy).

[@TheLeonhamm]

Why Nuremberg? For much the same reasons that Moscow, a place of the distant past in 1917, became the resonant focal point among Bolsheviks by 1918. Its political leadership was in secure hands, it was a hub of history, finance, and utility, and it made an ideal place to break with recent past failures with an easily romanticised resurrection into something entirely new (cf the Brezhnev era film: The Irony of Fate .. a darkly humorous warning on how State-ist dreams of More's Utopia here and there become depressive yet functional apartment buildings - everywhere). ;o)

[@Vintagevanessa99]

[@maryhaddock9145]

[@juicyfruit4378]

Nuremberg was chosen due to it’s affiliation and historical status of German aristocracy, royalty and location. Many Kings were crowned here and the city’s rich historical legacy would ensure “legitimacy” of the Nazi Party.

[@MrMirville]

Why did they choose Nuremberg? Why did they choose Bavaria, despite the fact it was in that kind of Catholic country that their party scored lowest at elections (the correlation was about 0.9 between Lutheranism and National-Socialism) ? Because Bavaria was the German country marked with most separatist tendencies and in particular which had expressed through its culture and political life most opposition to Bismarck's conception of German national identity, based of Prussian-style military standardization of life (Gleichschaltung) : Nazi gatherings in that region were meant to bully into paralysis the local culture and its aspiration to romanticism and care-free life. Nazis coming from all over Germany to Nuremberg was the grand way to tell all locals that resistance was futile and that their aspiration to national autonomy with greater openness to lefty French influence was to let go the way of the dodo. It was the final victory in the Kulturkampf started by Bismarck, and Nuremberg was the first vanquished and annexed city by the New Order, like Paris would be later on.

The anglo-american story is that hitler was the worst person in history. Happened as soon as churchill and his friends took control of the narrative. I like Chamberlain. He was a man of peace. The words ‘appeasement’ and ‘antisemitism’ have no meaning any more. We have a big problem if we cannot ask certain questions or criticize certain people or narratives.

They had a strong Socialist streak: full title National SOCIALIST German Workers Party (NSDAP). Hitler had Stalin as an ally (partly to be able to make a pincer movement against Britain?). Whatever Churchill thought about being an ally of Stalin, he considered it vital to defeat Hitler. Stalin made sure (d**n sure!) he kept his ill-gotten gains from the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, so we had gone to war to defend Poland from one aggressor, only to allow her to be put under the heel of another.

[@humblescribe8522]

East Germany called itself the German Democratic Republic, but it wasn't democratic. The Nazis were not socialist in any sense of the word, and indeed persecuted socialists and communists almost as much as they did gypsies and jews. The Molotov Ribbentrop pact was a stalling technique to buy time before the Nazis could fight what they regarded as their ultimate enemy - communism.

[@Dabhach1]

@humblescribe8522 They were NATIONAL socialists who persecuted INTERNATIONAL socialists the way Sunni and Shiite Muslims persecute each other today. Both sects are Muslim, and both parties -- Nazi and communist -- were socialists. The rest is gaslighting.

[@fender3873]
