- At the end of WWII, U.S. soldiers discovered 28 rolls of 16 mm film that were shot by Eva Braun. They complied these 28 rolls into 8 reels. In a prior video (found here: • Hitler's Home Movies a... ), we went through the first few reels of the footage to comment on the scenes shot at the Berghof. We're continuing our look at the Berghof scenes found in the remaining reels to help the viewer understand who and what are being seen on these films.
DISCLAIMER: The subject matter in this video is for educational purposes only. In no way is any hateful ideology supported by us in any way.
Notes:
- at 2:20, the boy shown is not a child of Herta Schneider
- the boy who I mention wearing the Hitler Youth armband is Martin Bormann Jr.

You don't owe any apology to anyone. You do a fantastic job.
Appreciate that.
@@TheHistoryUnderground one day, you will hit 1 million subs. This channel is gold!!

he's a hack, yes he does.
I just want to add here in the Midwest, we pronounce Dietrich as in "rick" not, rich.
I believe the random cat's name was Peter. He was a stray who wandered into the Berghof and became a favorite among staff and guests. Even Hitler was a bit fond of him, despite him not particularly liking cats.
You are responsible for introducing more people to fascinating history. As are most of your subscribers, I'm a History buff, especially this dark era which continues to baffle me as to how low humans really can go. I have recommended you to many young people and students of World History as a study guide placing us at the very scene of these movies. You make it all real, not a chapter in a book we're meant to learn.You truly are doing a sensational job as a gifted educator. As difficult as it is to believe, Hitler and his gang were here.They were real people in real time, as frightening as that may be. THANK YOU a million times for the work you do!
Appreciate that. Thank you.
You Said It Best 😊❤
Very well said.
Far worse elitists are ruling society today than have ever been in power in history.
I am curious about your comment " how low humans can go ".
Tell me, do you think the west with all their wars in the 20th century...Vietnam, Afghanistan, Cuba, Phillipines, lybia, yeman, Iraq, Mexico, American Indians, South American countries, Korea, C I A ops, Croatia, and God knows how many civilians bombed, considering tens of thousands of Germans melted into the streets In just one bombing raid alone, dresden, hamburg, breman, and I could go on.
We are witnessing in real time " how low humans can go ".
Hitler....huh. Adolf hitler was not an evil man. He was a product of the west's continuous ongoing narrative for world domination. I'm sorry 75% of the world don't see it
I never knew this existed--educational from a historical perspective. Thank you History Underground!
Glad that it was helpful!
These breakdowns of primary source material are my absolute favorite. More of this, please, sir!
👍🏻
I have watched these various films over the internet for years, but never knew who half of the people were. Thank you for taking the time to explain
👍🏻
I love this series! You are 1 of the best youtube historians. I look forward to 10am every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday.
Thanks!
These home movies have been there around for a very long time but the real gem of a difference is the accompanying commentary. Hats off to you.
Thanks! Hope that people find it useful.
In all my years on CZcams... this is the best channel I have EVER seen. I'm stunned, no words. Thank you so much for your videos, their quality and the amazing effort.
Very informative series JD, I’m glad that you did this whole series. The purpose of studying history is to remember what happened, both the good and the bad.
You absolutely nailed the basic premise of Hannah Arendt's 'Banality of Evil'. We must never forget the Nazi's weren't monsters with fangs and a bifurcated tail-- they were by and large clerks and bureaucrats which makes them even MORE dangerous and scary.
Absolutely.
This guy is creating some seriously good content recently. Well done and thanks. 👍
These people were all human and humans can do the most awful things to each other, whether during Nazi period or today; sad it still happens. 🥺🥺🥺. Thank you so much for these home movies.
Growing up ultra religious, and having read the Old Testament/other scripture, I’m not surprised humans ofttimes view each other as inferior, AND just as God commanded the Jews to destroy other people, it’s not a large leap to understand why a guy like Hitler could feel justified/duty bound in what he did, in an inverse scenario. That said, it’s easy to be humane/show compassion to those who are like us in race/moral (or immoral) dogma. Hitler was human, and in many ways WE have the similar struggle of reigning in OUR demons and blind spots, that he failed to subdue. The hope is that life beats those rough edges out of us - softens us, as we gain knowledge by embracing difficult/valuable experiences.
I appreciate you and all the work you do in bringing these videos to us , if it wasn't for you and all the work you do none of us would know all the history , let alone see all of these historical magnificent beautiful places !!! Thank you sooo sooo much my friend !!!! You have a subscriber here for life my friend . 💙💙💙💙💯💯💯
Love these videos, it brings history closer in a way that is hard to explain. Your videos are excellent, I am enthralled with them.
A huge thank you for putting context behind these videos. I have watched several of these, but only for so long since I didn’t know very many of the characters being shown. This certainly puts a different vibe to watching the videos having your knowledge overlaid on top of them.
Your work educates many - hopefully you feel some sense of pride knowing how appreciated those of us who appreciate history (the tragic on up) are and that you are directly responsible for that education. Keep up the great work sir. - Idaho, U.S.A.
You got this spot on. Nazis weren't freaks of nature or born evil never to be repeated. They were ordinary Europeans shaped by their environment and a lesson in how evil can arise at any point from ordinary people given suitable circumstances.
As evil as experimenting on their own loyal soldiers with nuclear radiation when they were well aware of the risks? No, that was America, hun.
evil?
what you are saying is, given the right circumstances, anyone, can be persuaded to embrace evil ideas and excuses for reprobation. That cannot be true. NOT EVERY GERMAN embraced Nazi evil. Many were given no choice, but to accept their order's. Hopefully, none of us will ever be faced with that dilemma again.
@@MrDaiseymay what evil?
@@MrDaiseymay schizophrenic explaination to a schizophrenic myth about germany, sad stuff phil
Absolutely fabulous analysis! I've never seen all of the footage assembled this way and narrated in such way that was easy, enjoyable and knowledgable about what we were seeing. Fantastic work!
More exceptional history, you fill gaps we never knew existed, thank you so much.
Hannah Arendt discussed when writing about Eichmann in the sixties, (this footage of H being human with children, and awkward at parties reminded me of her phrase) ‘ the banality of evil’. Your thoughts made me think of how far people will excuse others’ behaviour if they show the slightest bit of humanity. H was a peculiar man, but capable of unspeakable crimes. He was also nice to kids. Thanks again for the pondering, JD, your work is a great combination of history and philosophy.

I really enjoyed what you did with these historic home movies. Great job as always, take care.
Glad you enjoyed it
You remind us here that these people think they're right. They are normal people, not devils. Just people with an ideology. And they're wielding power with that ideology. And happily living their lives, removed from the consequence of their ideology. It's an act played out on the stage of history over and over. I really appreciate the work you do and your passion for history.
Well stated.
But a very dangerous and racist ideology.
It's not normal to have such a dangerous and racist ideology
More stellar work. What you are doing is incredibly important.
As for you having to put the disclaimer about pronunciation etc., those that are truly appreciative of your work understand the essence of your work without feeling it necessary to criticize or devalue the work. None of us are perfect and He who is, would not criticize you, but rather build you up.
Great job JD!
Thanks! Appreciate that.
Thank you for taking the time to explain all these pictures and videos. I’ve been saying for years I wish somebody would do this. I luckily found part two and I will watch part one and become a new subscriber to your channel. I appreciate your efforts.
This is a fantastic video, and you don't have to apologize to anyone, if these folks care more about that instead of the content they are not really interested anyway. You do a great job and looking forward to the next video. 😉
Thanks for posting. I always thought these were from the Eagle's Nest but then found out he rarely even stayed there.Such a stunningly beautiful place,not even the presence of monsters can overshadow that.
Amazing job. You have made an era in history that I always avoided so interesting . The way you have presented it has me captivated, I am always waiting on the next video. Thanks
Many thanks!
Thank you. Parts 1 & 2 were fascinating to watch. Much better that other historical footage I’ve seen.
Thanks JD for another amazing series of videos.
Thanks for the post I’ve seen these before but your love from history and the time you take to learn and share makes it 100% better. Even the dogs names I’m pretty sure that one is Negis lol .
Excellent piece of social history, especially the commentary at 8:48 to 10:08 and the dehumanising of individuals capable of committing acts of incredible cruelty and evil. It's precisely because of this that we, as a society, should preserve, record and retain many of the relics (in all their forms) of the protagonists / ideologues. Your contribution to 'understanding' and history is invaluable. I look forward to more.
👍🏻
Nice work narrating the videos! I'm sure that took a lot of time and research. The contrast between pure innocence and pure evil when you see Hitler playing with the children is just crazy.
Thanks. I actually put more work into these than I've done on any of the original content that I've shot myself. lol
I can only hope your channel grows so millions can learn from your work and the value of understanding history. The leadership in Russia and China both have many of the same traits of Hitler as we are currently living in our own history.
Appreciate that.
And our own U.S. government. Our military - DOD - was behind the clot shot. Look up research of Watt and Latypova.
Joe Biden is worse than Hitler
Another fact filled video. Thanks JD for your hard work. Great reviews of these reels. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻
Very awesome! I could watch these commentaries all day! I love it.
Thanks! We'll done as always!
love the commentary brother, excellent channel having a feast watching your channel, can't get enough 👌 appreciate the effort you put into your channel, thankyou 👍 coming to you from Birmingham England
Your videos provide more information than most documentaries floating around today. Thanks for your time in making these videos.
Thank you SO MUCH for keeping history alive and educating us. My dad was near there in 1945. Just one of many places he was at. Seeing these movies really puts things in perspective. Thanks again!!
👍🏻
Absolutely love this channel , one of the best on the Tube .
Been rewatching the d-day beach vids , going over in May too see all that stuff .Many Regards from the U.K.
Thanks!
Wow, at 0:32 you can see the exact piece of concrete that remains to this day at the Berhof location. This is probably the best historical shot I've ever seen of it! If you really wanted to go on that location and find exactly where the entrance door was, or where the great room window was, or where the front steps terminated on the driveway then you could use this shot along with aerieal photography to extrapolate.
Fantastic work on these reels. Oh, and your Midwestern voice is exceptional.
Amazing. This footage makes you think about human nature. I love your videos JD, and I'm always looking forward to the next one, I've learned a lot from you whether it's about your revolution, civil war or your participation in world conflicts. But what I appreciate most is when you focus on a particular individual giving a more human character to the story. History has always been my favorite subject.
I'm from Portugal, one day I'd like to see you deal with some piece of history related to our country. Did you know that during WWII Allied aviators had orders to land here in case they had problems during the flight because we are a neutral country? Some Germans were also forced to land here and in a small village in the south of the country, 7 crew members of a Focke-Wulf FW200 C4 are buried. The aircraft - with the code F8+NT painted on the fuselage - was shot down by a Beaufighter from 248 Squadron crewed by Flight-Sargent McLeod and Sargent Inglis.
Although some locals tried to rescue the crew they all died. They were buried in the Aljezur cemetery with the presence of Portuguese and Axis military and civil authorities.
Four Portuguese men received German commendations for their efforts while trying to save the crew after the crash or because they became involved in the funeral preparation.
There is also the story of the B-24 that on 30-11-43 landed in the sea off Faro, in the south of Portugal, the pilot became disoriented and reached the Algarve coast - at night - when he should have been in the Port Lyautey area , in Morocco. Out of fuel he thought he was making a beach landing, but he crashed into the sea. Five of the 11 crew perished. The survivors were picked up by three fishermen who took them ashore www.portugal1939-1945.org/pb4y-1-bun-63931-despenhou-se-no-mar-perto-de-faro-2/ . There is even a Memorial in Faro remembering the moment when the fishermen rescued the crew from the bomber.
If you want to know more, there is a Portuguese researcher named Carlos Guerreiro, who even wrote a book on the subject "Aterrem Em Portugal" (Land in Portugal). He has a blog with the same name as the book, where you can read these and many other stories on the subject aterrememportugal.blogspot.com/
You can also consult this page about the events between 1939-1945 in Portugal www.portugal1939-1945.org/en/home-2/ .
Thank you for your dedication and work JD.
So fascinating. You do such a great job with your video's Learning so much from you. Thank you for all your hard work.
Incredible! Of course, makes me wonder how the heck you found all this minutiae - especially the names of Eva’s dogs. Great work!
I look forward to your videos. Thank you for sharing your travels. History should be viewed and shared.
Glad you like them!
Before the presentation begins and while the commercials are rolling, I press that 👍. Continuing education is important to keeping our minds sharp and functioning, and there's a guarantee there will never be exams, essays, midterms, or finals required.
Thanks!
Great video JD you dont often get commentary with these movies , Well done Thank you
Beautiful videos. Thank you for posting these home movies. Amazing time in history.
This is very fascinating to watch and you did a wonderful job narrating and explaining everything. You are right about the fact the people in the video are human beings even though it’s hard for us to comprehend the fact that they were so evil yet can lead totally normal lives in their little group. The only innocent people here are their children.
Thank you for educational videos you made on this topic. You did a fantastic job !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great videos!! All your videos are really addictive!!
Great job on the video loved it learning more and more all the time
JD, The way I look at it...... as long as I understand you ..everything's good, dont sell yourself short .. you do better job than me, (hah) been waiting for part two.. this is going to be amazing JD
This channel is awesome. One of the best easily. Great job.
Thanks so much for freeze framing and explaining! I find it very helpful.
Ava did a great job filming, thankfully she did. Thanks for putting this together, very interesting history. I wonder if other film reels secretly made it back to the states in a duffle bag.🙂👍
It is sad when you have to put a disclaimer at the beginning of your video, about your accent. I'm an American living in Brazil and my Portuguese with a southern American accent makes my Brazilian family laugh. People should relax. 😂😂😂😂
But necessary!
@@DaveSCameron only because of the weak minded.
I agree, it's not that imperative to exactly pronounce.
Where do you live here in Brazil? (State)
@@brunoLKl7 Santa Catarina
Well JD you do a great job with these videos. People need to remember this is history good or bad and the people are human bad or terrible. I appreciate you posting this. It was great to watch. Bad or evil these are historical people. Thank you!
Great video and commentary. I couldn’t help but think of the film “Marathon Man” when you were commenting on the Nazi dentist.
Thank you once again, always the best viewing....thank you again
Thanks JD and to any others behind the scenes. Always very interesting and informative. I have learned a lot from your channel. Thanks for all your hard work. P.S. Loved the rant on accents... It had me laughing!
Ha! Thanks.
Excellent job! By far best personal movies documentary ever!
I love commentary with these videos, pointing out interesting things, naming people and such. Very interesting ~that bit about Eva Braun’s suicide attempt, interesting take on that. I hadn’t considered that before
Yeah, pretty wild.
@@TheHistoryUnderground thank you for doing this. I love the commentary on these reels….insightful!
Hey Eva, third time’s a charm.
@@JaimeMesChiens funny thing…that’s exactly what I thought, since it was laughing at her death (sort of) I didn’t want to post it…very sad that she and all hitlers circle were so deceived
Once again thank you for your amazing work!
Let’s go love this channel man wish I could do the stuff your doing man love exploring historical sites and more
Very interesting film this & thanks for sharing,the non Terrier dogs in the film are Hitlers dog Blondes puppies and to this day the Martin Bormann tree still exists.
👍🏻
and he personally killed Blondie by feeding her a cyanide capsule in the bunker to test them out
@@incredingo No Hitler didnt personally kill Blonde,the dog was killed by Hitlers doctor because Hitler wanted to test its strength because he was concerned it wasn't effective enough to kill him & Eva.
Great video as always JD. Your accent and pronunciation are excellent for me. Best wishes from Canada.
Great job, as always.
I love the comparison of yourself and Aldo Raine. You do a great job pronouncing some tough words.
😅👍🏻
This was a great narration and I particularly appreciate your comments on how seemingly normal, pleasant people can still be capable of unspeakable evil; especially considering what we are living through now.
You Do NOT have to apologize for your pronunciation ! I personally found it offensive when I saw the few cranks that had to weigh in with their criticism to part one. You’re doing a masterful job! Thank you so much. My philosophy would be more akin to a “stand your ground” type of policy when you’ve put in the hard work . But you’re a nicer guy than me..
As a history buff I find these interesting. They are so human like! I keep telling myself these people were straight up monsters.
The Wiesenthal Center wants to ensure that these monsters were very human and so can we become monsters. Never forget. Please read the book, “Ordinary Men”. Or “Hitler’s Furies”
Putin also lives a “human like” live …with the exception of his long empty table …
It’s disturbing how casual it is, given the circumstances.
The real reason you can't comprehend because there are things that don't make sense as there's a massive difference between historical facts and fiction. Anyone who challenges the narrative with facts gets censored, facts and truth have been filtered out on most main stream media platforms .The government, the media and history is censored. All protected by a bodyguard of lies, laws and censorship are put in place to protect the narrative, Hollywood and media have and continue to play a massive part in spinning the narrative.
It's called brainwashing, just scratch the surface on recent events,all those that really think Putin must be the bad guy and the allies smell of roses, have obviously been asleep all their lives, especially if they bothered to scratch the surface , analyse and question history, events , wars etc on the world stage over the past 30yrs, and whose been linked to all these devastating wars and false flags etc etc you will unearth the real history.
Keep popping them folks!
No shit
I have never seen these videos before, nice work!
Thanks!
Another excellent video. Gotta admit seeing that monster with those children made my skin crawl but you were right, we have to remember that he was in fact a human. A poor example of one but still human. And the fact you used another Missourian to demonstrate your accent was perfect. It’s not that those of us from the Show-Me state have an accent, it’s just that everyone else pronounces words wrong!😂😂
Very interesting. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Thanks!
Its great that you are introducing this to a younger generation. Who maybe wasn't
Lucky enought to know anyone that was in WW2.
THIS WAS INTERESTING. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION AND FOR DOING THIS VIDEO.
What a beauty the Berghoff was. Verschwunden, aber nie vergessen
Excellent video very informative , thank you very much .
As always thank you JD for posting your videos as they bring the past back to life so all generations can see a side of Germany that was totally different from the reality of what actually took place before, during and afterwards from WW2. It's something to see Hitler being affectionate toward small German children while there were other children being put to death because of their race and religion. The world must never forget the horrors the Nazis caused and did and how one man was behind this madness.
I can't get enough of your history. Thank you for what u do.
Thanks JD fantastic video and I appreciate your hardworking keep it up JD
Thanks 👍
@@TheHistoryUnderground you are welcome JD
So glad you shot down the 'complaining person' regarding your accent and pronunciation. Its about the history after all. And i love your content!
My favorite youtuber,keep up the hard work.
Wow, thanks
Ava had no idea that these reels would be seen by the world!
Nope.
These home videos are an important part of history. As evil as most of the people are in the videos, I am grateful for them. Thank you for all your hard work JD❤
the jews and their communist internationale comrades are more evil
Thanks J.D For Another Great Episode All I Can Say Is My Grandfather Be Proud
I can understand you perfectly JD. And I always look forward to your videos. The history of WW11 which is both atrocious and macarbe were Hitler and all of his cohorts were concerned. Thank you for showing and explaining things that happened back then, things I never would have known. Your so informative and articulate. 😊
Ha! Thanks!
Your very welcome.
I hit the like button BEFORE you even start talking. I’ve never seen a video of yours that I didn’t like. Between you & mark felton, I’ve learned so much about ww2. It all started with one question. How was 1 man able to convince an entire nation of seemingly normal people to become a well oiled killing machine?
Excellent video and commentary!
Thanks for watching
Thank you, amazing footage.
It would be interesting for someone skilled in lip reading, to try to determine what is being said in some of the clips. Interesting stuff. Thanks
Hey the lounge lizard music, while looking at the two Heinrichs, was worth the price of admission!
😅
Amazing amazing work yove done hats off to your hardwork
I apreciate the creative you made
Thank you for this video.
What I take from your video is that this is how they appeared to each other. I enjoy watching how the people acted around him. I think they may have felt themselves privileged regardless of the suffering going on around them 🤔
Exactly.
Thank you for your comments on regular people who give themselves over to evil. As the Bible states, "the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked."
I wonder if any of those kids are still alive? Great job JD
Excelent as usual, nothing to say, just congratulate you.
While I was watching these footages, I thought what would be happening outside of that beautiful and paradisiacal place. May be footages are before September 1939 or perhaps not.
Greetings from Argentina.
👍🏻
Actually, the films were made during the war. You can tell because Hitler is wearing his Feldgrau
uniform. Party uniform was brown with Hakenkreuz armband.
JD. Have you ever considered covering anything on Mussolini? Fascist Italy really seems to be a forgotten part of WW2 history.
Definitely.
