The.Nazis.A.Warning.From.History.1997.ep2.avi

Arguably one of the most important documentary series ever made, The Nazis: A Warning from History sets out to show that, far from being a uniquely German aberration, Nazism fed upon and was fostered by the prejudices and lemming-like inclinations of ordinary people. Although culminating with the atrocities of the Holocaust, these programmes are equally good on the motives of otherwise perfectly normal people, who needed only the tacit encouragement of the regime to perpetrate horrors against their enemies, their neighbours, or their own family. When confronted with evidence of their Nazi past, elderly former party members are often unable to find any other justification for their actions than simply that they could get away with it. Far from being a monolithic dictatorship which compelled the citizenry to act in rigidly prescribed ways, the Nazi state just allowed people to give their worst inclinations free reign. Hitler, it turns out, was a profoundly lazy man who rarely got out of bed before midday, and preferred to leave affairs of state to sort themselves out. He subscribed fervently to the doctrine of survival of the fittest as applied to all social and political matters, and actively encouraged in-fighting among his subordinates. The result was an organisational vacuum at the centre of state, which super-ambitious acolytes were only too eager to fill, often acting on nothing more than the Fuhrer's off-the-cuff remarks. One small example is revealing: after reading a letter from the father of a disabled child, Hitler agreed that it would be best for the boy to die. From this single statement arose a nationwide policy of euthanasia for all disabled children, carried out willingly and without compulsion by the doctors and "carers" themselves. It needed nothing more than the Fuhrer's nod. The message is clear and shocking: it happened in Germany, it could happen anywhere.

@TheBooostt Out of all things.. You attack my gamer tag? What a useless person...

[TheBooostt]

@SCVonSteroids haha you got no idea, hmmm weed hey, go take some steroids, clearly your brain has suffered from taking them

[SCVonSteroids]

@TheBooostt Maybe you should learn literature instead. Then you wouldn't sound like some kid in from high school who smoked a bit of weed and later assumed he knew everything. If you don't trust any source, then what do you trust? Past is past, what's done is done. The issue at hand is that we not repeat it.

[TheBooostt]

@1826bt doesnt mean its accurate. lots of academic stuff in inaccurate so what you say is here say. dont encourage the holocaust etc but their principles [apart from them killing people which was dumb] goes back even before WW1 so it is you that needs to do some research, lots is only told on one side and not from the big picture

[AliceNchainz011]

@TheBooostt Yeah, if something is true, you're free not to believe it.

Less than 1% of no population can pay for 30% of anything.....I don't Fuckin care how you justify the supposed "help" from the Jews....stolen goods, Jewish slaves, gold teeth, glasses, hair, cloths......ANYTHING! .......it won't pay for 30% of the war! War cost billions upon billions........unless every Jew in Germany was rich, there's no way.......no matter how you cut it....can less than 1% of any population pay for 30% of any thing.....especially a war....when lots of the wealthy Jews fled.

[rdallas81]

You know what paid for Germanys ability to carry on that War? Stolen goods, and slave labor. How do u think they produced the v2? With slaves in a mountain side! Ask verner von braun....or however u spell his name....the real father of rockets...

[trlrprkcon1]

@TheBooostt I was going to say that there is a list of evidence including quotes from people who were there etc that prove the accuracy of this show but instead why dont you list ONE inaccuracy and not just say you dont believe it like a drooling moron.

[trlrprkcon1]

@rdallas81 Simple dumb ass. If you tax the average German and German business 25% of their income that pays for 70% of the war. If you take 100% of EVERYTHING the jews had including their money, property, jewelry, hair, clothes, gold fillings, artificial limbs, eye glasses, even their bones for fertilizer then yea, it could come to 30% ass hole.

[rdallas81]

Has anyone seen "third reich: the rise", it says less than 1% ogre German population was Jewish.....then later says confiscated Jewish wealth paid for 30% of the war........I say how can that be....if the Jewish population really weren't controlling or pulling the strings in Germany?
