Dostler was directly responsible for the execution of 15 Allied commandos following their capture during the Italian campaign. High-ranking Wehrmacht officers attempted to have the execution stayed but Dostler overruled them several times. One officer refused to sign the order of execution and wa...

Man the Nazis give out Iron Crosses like Mardi Gras beads!

@stoshuss If you have an eyewitness report, you should contact the investigating body and let them know what you saw.

Wow, they really had to manhandle these old crates!

Before SB went bonkers :)

La grande baleine du ciel!

@flexor212000 It's easy to stop in a crater!

@dnhug Something more than that happened right at rotation - as if an aggressive climb rate was near stalling. I could be wrong but there are two shudders from the airframe then the sound of the gear coming up. Anyway super-great video and what a day for such a thing! I kept looking for Lake Gene...

The 330 and 340 show the same odd pitching behavior on approach.

@Seyter007 It may be a great book. "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" is a good book. And I'm not being political, I'm pointing out that "support the troops" doesn't apply when the troops are killing the unarmed and the infirm in the name of our country.

What a sow. Uggggg-ly

@Hinterman55 Yes, as long as people like you wander this prison planet, the story will be the same.

Very excellent show. We see on YouTube all the time, in the comments sections, smart-assed comments from miserable punks who see something admirable in the strutting, preening, Nazis, who celebrate their barbarism and insanity. In this show we see what they really were - the absolute nadir of hum...

This is a bizarre documentary. Immediate segue from entertainers to the liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto. Not a good transition.

The music is by Carl Davis, who also composed the original music for the series "The World at War". Good stuff!

Harris was a real tool.

@108Dax This is just bullshit. Of course there are civilians. Ask the people of Poland if there are any civilians in wartime.

Good show - some bad acting and worse music, but very effective.

The use of "Goetterdammerung" by Wagner for the German theme music is almost comical.

Man these are bad actors. But this is cheesy fun.

@alanheath Did you completely fail to grasp the lesson? There was no "thinking through" by Germany. Wilhelm II was basically an idiot, who failed to understand that the Austrian, Ottoman, and Russian empires were all moribund. Two world wars could have been avoided had he only had a bare minimum ...

Why is this woman teaching in an all-boys school? Why is this OK?

@MrOsbornea Remembrance of what?

@ 1:50 you see an original B17 in the background - bubbles for the waist gunners and non-reinforced tailplane.

For studied barbarism, the people of northern Europe are unsurpassed in the history of man. Even the Aztecs are pikers in comparison.

Always amazes me that the "superrace" allowed itself to be led to perdition by Himmler, surely at the bottom of anyone's list of human masterpieces - dimwitted, irrational, venal, and ugly as sin. A repulsive human bug.

Nice video but banner annotations are not good

How common is the runway 30 approach?

@gpnok91 This isn't a sport. It's just stupid daredevilism, and is not interesting.

@hairbandfan1967 Are you completely mad? Do you seriously believe something such as what you just said?

The comments at about 6:00 by the German veterans on the vastness of the featureless Russian countryside made a profound impression on me. I had ridden my motorcycle across the plains of the USA and know precisely what they mean. It was then and there that the Germans must have known they were fi...

What is not apparently understood is that this song is as much about wanting to never be one of these stoned and isolated hippy chicks, as it is about pulling up a kitchen chair and having some smoke and cannabis klatsch. Joni is saying, I love ya ladies, but get me out of here!

I love the cover art by Joni herself. Captures in a few lines and colors he entire hippy ethos. Oh I miss peaceful days.

I never tire of seeing these strutting, boastful, preening racist losers get the hell kicked out of them by an army of peasants. Thanks for uploading.

What is most interesting about these "supermen" is that, in fact, they were just whoremongers and sluts, bullies and posers, and in the end, simple petty thieves who stole under the aegis of their perverted notion of "law". This series does not leave one with a very impressive idea of the German ...

@lanpingpug This is contradicted by Sebastian Haffner, who stated that Germans were thrilled by the new decadence and sexual freedoms that accompanied the Weimar and early Nazi period. He was there.

@mkf272 The very existence of the comparison is cause for alarm, because it is quite apparent that democratic institutions here are crumbling, and racial scapegoating is I think almost inevitable as the economic crisis deepens. I fully expect things to get much, much worse.
