@Angus Maxwellton
And you accept all Soviet "investigations" as gospel?
First, there are no witnesses on record as to who lit the fire.
Second, Lubbe was found in the building unconscious, clearly at least drunk as hell, and unable to account for the events.
Third, the Soviets read the documents relating to the case and said they thought Lubbe probably was guilty.
Van der Lubbe was a former Dutch communist, which might have motivated him to move to Germany where fascism was clearly on the rise. That they even found out he had been a member of Dutch communist party tells me he was a convenient patsy. Nazis were devious and full of crazy conspiracy theories, so it's not far fetched to think Lubbe fulfills their desire to put someone in the frame for the fire. I don't think that the fire was not intended to destroy the building, after all it would have been difficult to identify Lubbe if he had been found burnt to crisp in the fire. DNA testing was 60 years in the future. That he was a foreigner was also very convenient. After all, it fits perfectly into "Ausländer raus" (foreigners out) ideology. Just like Drumpf today, Hitler had a primary enemy in the beginning: foreigners. It was their fault that Weimar republic was in trouble, just like "immigrants" are blamed for imaginary crimes and supposed hardship. Apparently "Mexicans" are the cause of fiscal troubles in states where there practically none. All of the white Americans are immigrants as much as Hispanic Californians who are descendants of people who lived in the area when it was won from Mexico in a war. But in that sense, all problems in the wider society in the US are immigrants' fault.
Van der Lubbe's "confession" then. I doubt he volunteered his confession. There were lots of Nazis in German police force, like there are neo-fascist elements inside practically all US police departments today. Fascists and other authoritarian people are drawn to law enforcement, because that gives them a chance to exercise authority over others, often without check.
I grant that it's possible van der Lubbe lit the fire but he's just a little bit too convenient a culprit for the crime that actually made Hitler dictator for life. I'm not fully convinced that he was guilty. I think no jury would convict van der Lubbe in an American court if his defence lawyer were awake, because there's plenty of holes in the prosecution's case. In Scotland they have a third verdict of not proven which leaves the case open, which avoids double jeopardy in case new evidence comes to light after trial.
My verdict for van der is not proven and it would require more evidence to convince me.

For the few that might be wondering:
After being blacklisted, Anneliese Uhlig initially moved to Italy and worked as an actress there.
She later became an American citizen and worked as a journalist for over two decades (including reporting from the White House).
The also worked as a producer in theater and held university lectures.
In the 70s and 80s, she regularly appeared in german TV series and -movies.
She died two months before her 99th birthday in 2017.
I'd say she thoroughly proved Goebbels threat of her never having a career in the movies wrong.

The important thing about Goebbels philosophy of Propaganda is that he was adamant that all propaganda be based on true events. And this is where the connection to Fake News becomes crucial. The major difference today is that instead of having one Big Brother we have millions of little propagandists for every cause. And finding out what actually happened gets harder and harder.

As you peel back the layers on all of histories monsters you find how utterly human and understandable they are, which is what's so scary. We'd like to think we're different, that we'd never EVER make those choices, but the truth stares us in the face every time u hear another one of these biographies. These nazis are Barb and Jim from up the street, man. They're so normal it hurts, even down to him being a ďbag, who, when given the slightest power, used it to fulfill his fantasies of banging actresses and ease his sexual repression he's felt since childhood in the most expedient and unhealthy way. I mean it's clear he liked sex, they had 6 children for god's sake, but also clear that anyone who gets married without sowing those wild oats is probably gonna cheat at some point. Whatever point is, his story is no different than a thousand others, till he befriends a guy named Hitler.

@nosamsemaj9150

5y↑33

MetaSynForYourSoul

Just because he had six children doesn’t mean he’s “obsessed with sex” most people had lots of children in those time, plus the NSDAP were big advocates for increased birth rates to keep the population high as a pose to immigration, like in Britain and France at the time.

Having many children was very normal back then.

@MetaSynForYourSoul

5y↑6

@no sam semaj Wow it's like you missed my entire point, which wasn't about sex obsession. I never said "obsessed with sex" I said it was clear he liked it. I don't really see how you can even deny that. The guy was willing to basically throw away his whole life, in a metaphorical sense for some strange on the side. And he kept up affair after affair with all these beautiful women. How can you say the man didn't like sex?

@nosamsemaj9150

@MetaSynForYourSoul
You're claiming that his reasoning for having six kids was because he liked sex... lol Maybe he just wanted kids?

@MetaSynForYourSoul

@no sam semaj But how do you GET THE KIDS?! SEEEEEEEXXXXX!!! If he didn't like it, it's highly unlikely that he would've had that many. Also if he didn't like it he wouldn't have pursued extramarital affairs. If you just want kids without sex, you adopt. I... I'm sorry, I'm having trouble deriving your argument here.

Will I admit it's impossible to know the mind of a dead man? Of course! There's no way to know for certain, but there are inferences we can make based on the facts in evidence which is what I'm doing. I can easily admit I might be wrong, but there's a whole lotta smoke for the not to be a fire, ya feel me?

@MetaSynForYourSoul

@no sam semaj Also Saying he had kids because he liked sex is misreading the situation. The sex he liked, children is either a side effect or a bonus depending on point of view.

@JohnDoe-fo3fn

It isn't very historical. He cites treatment of Polish Jews by the Nazis as cause for dishevelment when the film was released prior to war with Poland. He also claims Herschel Grynszpan never assassinated Ernst vom Rath, which he did, while citing the wrong year for the event anyhow. Also he claims Hitler told Goebbels and his wife to give it a 3 month shot while in reality the period was closer to a year.

Additionally there are wild guesses about "jealousy" regarding superior literary talent while the primary library whose books was destroyed was that of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, which was by no stretch a literary outlet. It was a sexual psychology research institution that wrote about transgenderism, homosexuality, and other sexual subcultures that the Nazis abhorred.

Yet, it's so simple! The power of editing is the most effective tool on a simple mind. Once you can control what information the public can and can't see, you can make them believe anything.

It was also the perfect climate in Germany to break out such radical rhetoric since they were getting manhandled by the Treaty of Versailles mixed with the Depression, then the situation was made worse when they started printing money with no financial backing. Germans were suffering and wanted someone to blame, and the Nazis gave them their scapegoat. Goebbels was a master manipulator, and knew exactly how to rile up a good old fashioned blood frenzy. If you can convince everyone to not trust anyone but you, they’ll be eating out of your hand.

One thing I take issue with is actually a single sentence "The German invasion of Russia was their downfall because the German army couldn't handle the Russian winter." While this is in part true, the Soviets were having the same problems as the German army and barely handled them any better. While the cold slowed them down, it also slowed the Red Army down just as much. If all Russia had going for it was the cold, then Germany would have handily won. However, ultimately the Red Army was able to defeat the Germans in battle, which is the main cause of Germany's defeat in Russia, had Germany been able to defeat Russia in a pitched battle then Russia would have lost, winter or no winter.

@aleksanderabramov8025

it has to be said that the level of sacrifice on the Soviet part (not only ethnic Russians fought in the Red Army) was immense. I'm from 'round these parts and the war left a huge scar on all of us. Most of us have someone in our family tree who either fought and/or died in the war. Lots of really heartfelt songs about the war.

I'm no supporter of the SU but I'm an anarchist communist who lost great grand relatives who tried to defend us from fascism, and I'm eternally grateful to the soldiers who fought fearlessly for their motherland and Europe as a whole. Never forget

@ChessMasterNate

The winter's effect on equipment was similar, however the German soldiers were not provided with winter clothing, while the Russians were. Also, German supply lines were longer, and winter slows that.

But you are right, it was not all due to weather, US lend-lease was a major factor. The US gave the Russians a huge amount of equipment, 500,000 Jeeps and trucks, 12,000 armored vehicles including 7,000 tanks and 11,500 aircraft, and 1.75 million tons of food. Food was very scarce in Germany. Would have been in Russia too.

He might have mixed the von Rath murder with the Reichstag fire, which although it was real, the guy who was murdered for it was not guilty. The fire was orchestrated by Nazis to give Hitler an excuse for the emergency powers & martial law. Later, they used a ruse with Nazis in Polish uniforms destroying an independent radio station near Polish border, so they killed two birds with one stone: a) got rid of an independent radio station and b) got their excuse to invade Poland. Bush later just flat out lied that Saddam was personally responsible for 9/11 when he knew it was bin Laden and other Saudi extremists, and of course most of Al Qaida and IS terrorism has been funded from Saudi Arabia, and the extremist Imams in Europe are Saudi trained.

Mr. Simon. I follow your biographies and I find them marvelous. But, it would help to go little bit deeper into the history. She was NEVER ever a Nazi. While filming in Germany, she was eyed by Goebbles and she was in love with him as much as he was in love with her. After Hitler sent her home, she spent her days in Prague and after the war, she was held 18 months in custody and the released because of lack of evidence that she would be a Nazi collaborator. She moved back to Germany and died in Austria in the year 2000. Being an emigrant of Czech origin, I had the honor to meet her once in my life. Please straighten this somehow.

Hi Simon! Love your vids! Yes, I "like" them & am a subscriber, so no worries!

I just had to mention this, b/c it seemed important as to how Goebbels could sway folks (thru cinema, which is essentially literature in motion, etc.). Thanks again for a great video! / Glenn

Simon and team.. This video was arguably one of you-alls best, most engaging, brilliantly and concisely written pieces and should be the template for your future work. Most notably it dosent have Simon in middle disclaiming and endorsing some very uninteresting product/service that is in any way, shape or form at best annoying at worst offensive, don't you-all care about us or have the kindness and grace to let us choose? In this production Goebbels life was properly proportioned, he was objectively portrayed good and bad and is Biographics was at its best. Productions since then have "slipperly slopped" into a disgrace. We your audience should be your number one priority and you-all should treat us as if you care. Why have Simon pitching some product/service in the Middle of the production not the end, where we can conveniently choose to review or NOT? NO other channel I am aware of grovels in such a way that is so offensive and if so they at least do it at the END----!! It is truly such a shame that the work you produce today is for lack of a better term a disappointing "sell out" to advertisers who we know the only reason that they are Personally endorsed them is for money, the disclaimers only add to bright-line how sickening it really is. We are an educated audience who are well aware of the subtle line between those content creators who, with class and genuine care for their audience, place their parasitic advertisers at the end of their videos without groveling to them and personally endorsing products or services we know that you would never pluck out your hard earn money to buy; ie. many of these products (lets say for overpriced, bloated financial services--we KNOW you would NEVER be duped into buying) during an engaging Maddoff video placed in the MIDDLE not tactfully at the end of the production as most other content creators do with grace, Please consider this not as an attack or troll by one but as in forums I share the same feelings as MANY others who do care for you all, enjoy your productions but are so SICK of your either lack of concern, reprehensible money grubbing or maybe just plain we don't give a crap.

It's because these stories are generally not told. It's important to know about history. This video is almost gives perspective on media.

@Dan TheOracle In all honesty the only person that would care about whether I am a jew or not would be neo nazi or an arab. Nobody else cares.

I did debunk the video. My thread was deleted by the poster of the video (in proper fascist fashion).

@wh8787

A point of clarification, the "total war" speech didn't happen until some time after the invasion of the USSR. It came after the Soviet defeat of the German forces at Stalingrad. Basically, Goebels was taking a more prominent role, and convinced Hitler to gear Germany to fighting "total war", something it hadn't done up until that point. The Nazis were oddly cautious of reducing the living standards of middle and upper class Germans, in contrast to say the UK or the USSR who had both committed entirely to fighting and winning the war.

I got about 5 minutes into Triumph of the Will before I determined, "these people are all psychotic." Many might say, "well, that's because historical hindsight granted you critical leverage," but groups of people dancing in perfect time with one another has always creeped me out. Especially when they all fucking look alike. The Nazis might all help us learn one lesson, if they did nothing else positive for mankind. Just because a bunch of idiots all believe something doesn't make it true, or right. 50 million of those jackasses followed that idiot to ruin. I wonder if any women in Berlin getting raped by a dozen Soviets simultaneously thought, "You know, looking back at it that guy was pretty angry!"

@questionsfrog1918

@Jack's Sense Riefenstahl had free hand in her movies, the ministry of propaganda did just one screening without any notes about cutting or censoring. Basically, they watched it and said "ja,ja,das ist gut" so that one goes on Leni

Nowadays manipulating the thought of masses isn't as bold and much more subtile, what remains is the "YOU belong to the GOOD people if you think alike" and after having a good idea about how everything worked in the 30's and 40's thats kind of scary since nothing changed too much

Simon, I like to watch your films, history is one of my passions . Most of the videos you create are objective and enlightening. But this is not the reason I am writing this message... The reason is: my daughter likes to watch you videos for some reason! I have no idea why, she is only 9.5 months old, but when I turn on your films she is very excited. She doesn't understand any language yet (and when she does it will be likely Vietnamese). Maybe you look like the rabbit from her favourite cartoon, I am not sure, but your documentaries we can watch together with my daughter and we don't get bored even though she understands so little yet

"The trick is not making someone believe in an idea.
The trick is to make the people believe it is of their own creation.
All you need to do is light the fire of an idea, and watch the flames rage across a nation like wildfire, fueled by arrogance, blind trust and artificial hatred.
A simple, yet tremendously difficult process, one the Germans have mastered, and as such, utilized to it's fullest potential."
