I know one survivor of Josef Mengels' experiments who was 8 years old at the time, and who has lived as a cripple ever since 1945. She and her mother barely survived Auschwitz, and they lost the whole of the rest of their extended family. The atrocities were worse than most people realise, and some are still suffering from them.

Yet another tragedy of the Nazis that he was lured by their unholy aims which brought his sadistic traits to the fore. What a waste.

Heydrich was the only senior Nazi who actually looked anything like the tall blonde Aryan “superman” of Nazi myth. He was intelligent, athletic, ruthless and had genuine military experience. If he had somehow become Fuhrer, he might have been more popular among the Germans, more competent and therefore more dangerous than even Hitler. Thank God he never did.

[@leonymarinho3179]

Concordo com vc.

[@javiergilvidal1558]

A commentary as idiotic as they come. Hitler had iron and concrete BALLS as he proved time and again in the trenches of WWI, taking up what must be one of the most dangerous tasks a soldier could assume, that of amessenger/courier, on foot, amid the enemy fire. He was severely wounded, more than once, yet soldiered on until the very bitter end, which found him in hospital, temporarily blinded and in horrible physical pain. Hermann Göring was a top pilot who despised danger during the war, and many other later National Socialists proved their courage and patriotism in the boiling cauldron of that horrible war. Heydrich could have no true "military experience" in his upward years, since he was a child in WWI. Whatever true "military experience" he could have accrued was, by definition, from 1939 onwards, when he was already well on the top. He had courage, of course, and was a worthy patriot, but his merits can never eclipse or out-do those of his older comrades.

[@donpetazaragomatuta9988]

He was just hitler slave

[@f4ust85]

Thats really a myth. For example he always wore a girdle as he had a deep insecurity about his wide, feminine hips and thin shoulders. Of course next to Himmler he looked like a jock. As for "genuine military experience", he was 14 when WW1 ended. He served in the navy in the 20s and then in the reserves in Luftwaffe for a few months. Plenty of top Nazis had PLENTY of actual long-term combat experience: take Goehring who was THE image of good looking aristocratic war hero the party neaded in early 1930s. Next to him Heydrich was a dorky bureaucrat.

[@donaldgraham6414]

@@f4ust85 Heydrich may have had his physical imperfections and been self-conscious about them, but there is no doubt that compared with Hitler, Himmler, Goerring and Goebels he wad much closer to the tall, blonde warrior figure of Nazi myth. If he did wear a corset, presumably it would not have been apparent to others. It was nit unknown for German officers to wear corsets. Von Schlieffen is believed to have worn one. And there is a corset taken by French troops from a German officer on display at the Australian War Memorial. In the navy his service was peacetime, but he served as a signals officer on the SMS Schleswig-Holstein, a pre-dresdnaught battleship which was the flagship of the North Sea Fleet (and fired the first shots of World War II). In the Luftwaffe, he flew almost 100 combat missions in Messerschmidt Bf109s until he was hit by Soviet anti-aircraft fire and ordered by Hitler back to his desk as a senior SS official. It is true that Goerring had a more extensive combat record (as did Hitler, arguably), but Goerring let himself get obese and engaged in dubious antics that led others to suspect him of a “hormone-related malady.”

On 50:58 you say that the Einsatzgruppen "were essentially SS special units". While it's correct with the word "essential", I think it's noteworthy and more accurate that it overlapped with SS or was led by SS people, but included other police forces and really was formally subordinate to the RSHA. -- Personally, as a German, I only learned about the EG's and the role of the RSHA recently through inspiration by Timothy Snyder. The RSHA to some extent lived on as the West-German Bundeskriminalamt (BKA), in the sense that some people, organizational principles and some of the documents (lists of people) were carried over, which is... in my view quite significant. There was recently a study done by historians, some 10 years ago, about the continuity between RSHA (which is not SS, and which was the umbrella of the EG's), and the West-German BKA. This is - in my personal experience as a German - blurred in history lessons by stating that it these crimes were done by the SS. That is a simplification, and it is hiding, to some extent, that some mini-cogs out of the terrible machinery of the holocaust lived on in West Germany. Just a small mention. I like your documentary and learned a lot already. I appreciate you for it. P.S.: I just learned that the RSHA is part of the SS, which validates your point. I will leave my comment, because I think it may still be interesting. After all, the SS as part of the Nazi party has a totally different legitimacy (basically none), compared with the RSHA, which is essentially a police department on paper and therefore a government institution with proper legitimacy - on paper.

Some bad info in this. Goebells was never captured alive. He committed suicide along with his wife and 6 children who were poisoned by their mother, right aftwr AH did, in the chancellors garden. Goering was the highest member arrested but also committed suicide from a cyanide capsule hidden in his hair gel the day before his execution. Heinrich also got his blood poisoning from fabric from the car due to the blast of the explosion.

Wow this was a fantastic documentary! It's very informative very straightforward and very understandable. This is a very tough subject, but I think as a Jewish person looking at this it's easy to think that it's just all evil. You can just say that he was evil and that the Nazis were evil and their cause was evil. Would I have come to realize is that the Nazis provided a shave space for psychopaths to do what only they do best. I mean think about it, if a lot of these head Nazis and people who killed so many without a second thought I just lived in a Germany that was prosperous and didn't subjugate people they would have just been Office clerks and maybe soldiers or high-ranking officials but given the situation they were given a task and they performed it. I think it's been proven that psychopaths can make great CEOs. When social norm's and boundaries shift to such a degree as what happened in the Weimar Republic and incidentally are shifting now given the opportunity sociopaths can really make a huge difference heartless genocidal actions. The thing to never forget is that any culture any culture group can have these sociopaths and psychopaths that can make this kind of genocide possible. So yes on a certain level you have to punished and blame the people who pursue persecute and perpetrate these heinous acts of as they call in humanity but it what is really really important to remember that it is as human as anything else as we cal "inhuman". Psychopaths are the embodiment of "inhuman" cold or robotic calculated, cold bloodedness.

Heydrich is almost in a league of his own, when it comes to Nazi evil, and that is saying one hell of a lot. He's a man who at times actually shocked Himmler with his sadistic cruelty and zealotry. There's a saying by historians, "if you want to know what Hitler was thinking, watch what Himmler did." Well, Heydrich was the man actually pushing Himmler to his extremes. He was such a cruel barbarian that Churchill, still steeped in bygone era chivalry, actually okayed the assassination of him. He was the only non battlefield official targeted for assassination in all the war. Even now, most don't know he was the architect of the Holocaust, detailing the framework of it.

[@jacksonreilly3441]

Heydrich was not a National Socialist ideologue. He was a technician and a damned efficient one. His driving force was ambition not cruelty. In fact, his treatment of the Jewish question was pragmatic rather than emotional.Suppose he had not been born in Germany. If he had been born in Britain, he could have headed MI6. If born in America, he would have been ideal for the OSS. In either case, he would have utilized his brilliant and efficient mind against the Third Reich with equal fervour. Heydrich was a unique man possessed of many enviable talents.

[@DarthTrader707]

@@me0101001000 True. Every single thing regarding Mengele was a tragedy, but one of the most terrible things is, he was an absolute quake of a doctor. Just a complete hack. If some of his experiments advanced science in any way, then at least, and can't even word this correctly, some kind of "good" may have come out of his torturous experiments. But, they are absolute valueless garbage that revealed nothing. And that's not even counting that he was one of the primary madmen who worked the selection lines. Interestingly, Auschwitz kept unbelievable records. We know he was actually the man on duty when the train carrying Anne Frank and the others who were in hiding with her in the early morning hours of Sept 6.

Such gossip was spread out among society who was into music which caused that Reinhard was refused to be a part of Hallenser School students corporation in 1923.
