Gestapo - Documentary - part 2

The Sword Is Forged

"The Nazis converted their country from a flawed democracy to a fascist dictatorship in which the rights of the individual were trampled in the interests of the state. Institutions and organizations were warped to serve this purpose, none more than the police. At first, it was the Storm Troopers of the SA, who beat, intimidated, and killed those who opposed the regime. But something more was needed than simple thuggery and the police were co-opted. The Gestapo, the Secret State Police, was the organization set up to perform this function. By reputation its network of black-clad officers spread everywhere; yet it was a small organization--at its height in 1941 there were only 8,000 officers. Program 1 shows the power struggle between the worst of Hitlers henchmen, Himmler and Heydrich on the one hand, and Göring on the other. And it introduces us to a mysterious figure, Heinrich Müller, a career policeman who became the ice-cold leader of the Gestapo."

none of you ever lived in germany after the 2war, none of you had family during 3reich, none of you lost soldiers and family in that war, none of you know what the nazi regime forced poeple to do... so keep your opinions low level. germany suffered big time when the russians came in, most of my family died gruesome.

@translationwiz They probably would have thrived in Goebbels' propaganda ministry as they do in the Murdoch propaganda ministry.

Awful how most of a nation can be brainwashed by clever propaganda.

Read about the White Rose group in Germany.

Dear @stud20084977

I am a very peaceful person and I would prefer rather to keep silence than brake out an internet war. And let's finish with fathers, or to be more exact in my case - with grandfathers. I like the way you communicate.

Peace!

@klubnikamasha Yeah i got it, and i totally understand where you are coming from, but in the end you can try to reason as much as possible with some people and still ending up discussing whose father could beat up whose father.

@specops24th The most important lesson of the History is that it teaches us nothing. Rot Front!
