Himmler was never a chicken farmer (his wife was). That is an insult to chicken farmers.

Great documentary! I had no idea about this book, in spite of spending countless hours, months, years, watching and reading about WWII and the Nazis. Excellent production.
😮❤
You better run out and grab you a copy, these books are flying off the shelves.
trump is selling them for his legal fund. He also likes nazis.
I think the Jews found the book and now use it against humanity

Wow, Baldeschi had balls. Respect.
26:55 to say no to mussolini could have been a death sentence. mussolini was fond of violence and used it liberally with his blackshirts, and he was at the height of his power at the time. all technically just for some old book.
If they claimed to be Atlanteans maybe that’s why they went straight to Antarctica 🇦🇶 after the war
Just shows that any book can be purposely used for evil, ancient ones even moreso.
If it was just a piece of paper why did himmler want it so bad and why did the count try to hide it
Just because you hide then destroy a book, doesn't make it not true.
Count Aurelio Baldeschi-Balleani and his family are pretty amazing. They knew words had power.

Poor information and recreation about Teutoburg. Portrayed it as a normal pitched battle and not an ambush in the forest. Also no mention of the the treachery of Arminius which lead to the ambush being possible.
Not really. They outsmarted the romans and forced them to fight hand to hand instead of letting the romans fight in a column. Why should the germans fight how rome wanted when they can fight man to man.
the recreation of Teutoburg is based on what was told in the Germania itself, not what we know from (for example) other writers or archeology - Germania was written by Tacitus, who never visited Germany, and all of his writings about the Germans are AT BEST second-hand, and were probably written (much like Parallel Lives by Plutarch) to draw comparisons between the "noble savage" Germans and the 'decadent' Romans, and NOT as factual history.
Right, so the book describes how the Germans defeated the supposedly indefeatable superior Romans, so why would it be bizarre that the Germans wanted to ensure this information was preserved and use it for their nationalism? This isn't unique to the Nazis. Americans love their battles to demonstrate their superiority, so too did the british and the French and the Chinese and the Russians.
Today's Germans are not the Germans of Tacitus' time, any more than today's inhabitants of Rome are descendants of the Caesars and their people.
And they all have a habit of ignoring or 'reinterpreting' the bad bits of their history.

The bits depicting the Teutoberg Forest massacre are completely ahistorical. As if it were fought conventionally by two standard armies across a giant field. I wonder if the producers even know what "forest" means?
It was an ambush, NOT a proper Battle
Hi, would or could you do a segment on what happened to the mistresses, wives, and children of Hitler's men after the war. The same with Mussolini's wife and children. Thank you

“Failed chicken farmer” ….. a sign of things to come.
I was walking past a floodlit skate park early to mid-evening, just a few hours ago, and I overheard some kids, late adolescent, talking, and I heard " Himmler. Heinrich Himmler ". I think it was general history. There was also " Romans " mentioned.
I've been searching for this video half a year i knew who wrote book but no video poped up. Thanks
I wonder if the book is safer with the family than with the state.

You would think they would come up with a more masculine specimen to lead the SS. Himmler was a chinless, baby-faced, scraggy necked, pebble glasses wearing failed chicken farmer.
Mind you, next to Goebbels, he looked like Clark Gable.

Superior race? Chosen people? Race based marriage and citizenship laws? Who does that sound like?

They're still doing it and getting away with it.
I wonder what would have happened if they just handed the book over...
Many thanks for this video! Fascinating!
That would have been a great Indiana Jones movie. Much better than the Antikythera.
We may even today say the Germans are in many fields clearly above most other nations. There is no way denying it. People and nations are different by capabilities in science and productivity.
At the same time it's also true that Germans were not always above every other population groups. In one time in history, the Chinese were above all, in another time in history the Egyptians were above all and yet in another point in history the Arabs (I am talking about golden age of Baghdad) were far above all when it came to science.
As a matter of fact, ancestors of Germans were living in poorly built huts or even in caves when people of Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq) were living in well planned cities.

By the way, given that many top so called "highly educated" Yatzis believed in what we would today clearly identify as fairy tales and superstitions which only a modern average 10 yrs old would believe it appears that top Yatzis were dumb and large amount of Germans who got influenced by those Yatzis even more dumber.
Probably only in Germans mind as for previous centuries… I do not think that genocide of millions other nations and robbing them to have resources for developing own country and science make them above most other nations. As you can see those stolen resources are exploited already and Germany is going down economically. And now they trying to take down other countries economy by ruling EU and setting unequal EU lows for other countries while in Germany non of those is implemented.
Many genius in the history were Germans or had German ancestry.
Gauss, Plank, Beethoven etc
@@Tathagata-eo5tzthe esoteric occult stuff is coming back into fashion big time right now
Interesting that the negative cultural traits described by Tacitus as being almost a Germanic stereotype have literally dissapeared. Far from laziness and sloth, the Germans of the 20th century and now were known for strict punctuality, strict adherence to rules (an actual need for strict rules), literally the opposite if how they were in that time.
Wonder how that happened...
I disavow my earlier comment, this is insanity "explained"!
And then for no reason at all….
This is very calculating for the way the presentation holds off the negative components until the end. Salacious stuff.
My ancestors lunched many campaigns against the Roman eagle. It is documented in the history of the Callaghan’s. They left from Ireland to fight in Europe. The kingdom the Romans never conquered.

What about Celts being the "master race" since they are Northern European and more Racially pure as well? Or Finns who are the palest people? Or any group other than Germanic?
The Germans included some other European races are equals or slightly below them (and respected them) but you can’t really justify war against your neighbors if they are all “equal”. You have to demonize others, even if they match your ideological purity concept more than your owns. These groups breed hypocrisy
All the same Adamic tribe.
The contradictions in his thinking shows that Himmler was far crazier than commonly believed. Holy Grail versus pagan ideology. Absolutely no common ground in these two belief systems.

The German nations were one of the last to establish 'civilisation'. In fact they only defeated the Roman army once, and that was due to the German leader having been in Rome and learning how the Roman army organised and fought.
Himmler. I can relate to his passion of history. He was like a child given the keys to the Smithsonian.
Do some people see the parallel with america, and what's happening there almost 90 years later? It's fascinating but a bit nerve wrecking.
I live in the US and I definitely see the parallels. I don't find it as fascinating as I find it disturbing, disappointing and frightening.
Except white supremacy is an ideology as old as the US. There isn't a new belief system emerging.
I do see it also. That is why we need to vote the Dems out of power.
yes, we saw it with covid. And how one group of people didn't want to take an experimental drug and the other half wanted to imprison and starve them.

Geez, I think Atlantis has been depicted as the home of the root race of every group from Star Children to Alcoholics.
Back in the 80s some people believed that the population of Atlantis had been far more advanced intellectually than spiritually and were therefore, unbalanced, as a human species. This is supposedly, why they had eventually died out, they devolved.

I tried, I reallly did but the way this narrator pronounces "germania" just kills me...even though he's perfectly capable of pronouncing "germany".
I always laugh a bit when the “Perfect Aryan Race” is described. Blond hair and blue eyes, perfect physical shape. While there may have been men that looked like this somewhere in the SS, the orchestrators of WWII were the opposite. Dark hair and brown eyes, and some rather portly and some with an obvious handicap.
I am basically Western European, my mother’s side came to the US from the Rhineland Platz area of Germany to South Carolina in the 1830’s. I used to not want to address my German lineage for reasons such as this. If you focus on the engineering they did, it is a marvel, but the atrocities that they committed make me ashamed of even the small amount of German blood I have.
Himeler was truly nuts.
I'm sorry for your feelings of disgust in your German heritage. Instead of persons of the Third Reich, remind yourself that Albert Einstein and Beethoven were German, too. Those are the German forefathers you esteem, not the dregs of humanity that we all loathe.
Yes the irony of it all is kind of laughable. None of these men remotely fit the description of this so called “Aryan” race they were so obsessed with. It’s actually kind of pathetic.
My ancestors came over from Ukraine in the early 1900s … they came from Germany to Ukraine in the 1700s cause Russia needed farmers … then screwed my ancestors over … I’m 100 percent German and not ashamed at all .. not my fault of those terrible people .. to be ashamed of your heritage is just silly
@@billsmith9737when your people committed the most terrible of recent genocides, there’s plenty to be ashamed of. Voting for this government is disgusting
The 'Germans' do not exist. Germany is an artificial creation that includes a very mongrel mix of all sorts of different 'types'. There is no typical German any more than there is a typical American. Racists of all times have this in common: stupidity.

10:00 Again here - yeah, they had blue eyes, blonde hair, were tough - Tacitus feared them, and they took some pride from those descriptions, and that - in itself - wasn't a bad thing.
AGAIN - can we think about what we're writing before we put it on the page, lads? I realize you're arts grads, but think first. The bad that came after was sufficient bad in itself, too.
This ideology is so similar to that of modern day Israel, they also believe that they are the choosen ones they have the same superiority complex
Seems pretty obvious to me they are the chosen people of the G-d of the Torah. They are the only ones still here. The whole world is obsessed with them. They have amazing intellectual abilities and achievements. I have no doubt that a 10,000 years from now the Jews will still be here. Christians? Maybe not, eh?
Germans insisting their ancients were anything but a bunch of barbarian heathen tribes is hilarious.

This should be amusing.
The Aryans did exist in Persia. They were not Germans and were nothing like Germans.
Go research why "aryan" was used pre-WW2. It was not something conjured up by the nazis. It was simply a colloquial term used to refer to the proto-indo-european peoples which european, persian and northern indian civilisation derived from, current history places the proto-indo-europeans somewhere in the caucuses, but historians pre-WW2 were divided between it beginning in northern europe or in western asia.
@@ExtraEcclesiamNullaSalus Current historians are still debating but one of the leading theories for the origins of the proto-Indo-European peoples is further North and East across the Pontic and Caspian steppes. The Cernavodă culture, Khvalynsk culture, Sredny Stog culture, and then the Yamnaya culture being leading probabilities for being the ancestors of the proto-Indo-Europeans.
@@cascadiapatriot7831 That "current" theory goes back 100 years. It's become dominant because the "Northern hypothesis" becamse associated with the nazis, and therefore because of politics fell out of favour with the western establishment, but it was the main hypothesis in academia across the west prior to WW2.
@@ExtraEcclesiamNullaSalus I understand that it's not a completely new theory. However, could you provide information of the current academics or scholars (names, authors, books, etc.) claiming that the origins of the proto-Indo-Europeans were in the Caucuses?

So much fallacy with this Aryan race misconception. First of all Germans are mostly from 3 different tribes which came together 3000 years ago. These tribes are characterized by haplogroups where you have the R1b’s who came from the Steppes till Western Europe, I1’s which are Scandinavians and R1a the slavic type. Now to claim a German is Aryan and a Portuguese is not is funny because one German shares genetic blood thru the human genome with the Portuguese unlike with his fellow German who might be of the I1 stock. Admixture doesn’t correlate to the human genome.
The German identity is 100% only cultural and doesn’t stand at all
R1an is the haplogroup from the aryans. Aryans are not only germans and where not invented by germans. Modern Science and History talks about it as well. Google it up what is behind the aryans.

Or you could argue that everyone is effected by a parasite that is in the brain , 😂

The very concept of biologically distinct races has been disproved by science. So there are no superior, inferior or pure races. This fact should be taught very early in schools.
The Japanese are quite unique with very little admixture since 800AD. Just go to Japan and you can’t deny they are quite unique.
Genetics is biological- so called "race" is not.@@zwatwashdc
@@kindnessfirst9670 well, semantics aside, whatever the ‘Japanese’ are, they are biologically distinct. 😂
@@kindnessfirst9670 Ashkenazi are also biologically distinct. Also, I don’t know what country you are from, but in the US all the schools talk about is race and gender from the earliest grades. Almost all hiring practices take ‘race’ into account, university admissions did until very recently, as does access to various social programs.
Every human being is biologically distinct. And individuals change race all the time without changing biologically. I have lived in America all my 63 years and raised two children here. There is a growing number of US states where teaching about race, gender or even parts of American History are forbidden in school and will get teachers fired. @@zwatwashdc

WW2 was the last stand for the Germanic people against Rome. There was a large support for the Germans in S Africa during WW2 among the Boervolk who originated from those Germans and of course if Germany had won the Boers Republics which the British stole would've been reinstated as Germany not only acknowledged the Transvaal as belonging to the Boers but also 1000s of Germans helped the Boers fight against Britain in the 2nd Boer war.
The effects of loosing WW2 are being seen every day in the West in the form a far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, cultural and economic ideology whose end goal is the creation of a radical Marxist global society, a totalitarian order centered around a non-elected centralized ruling elite that enforces common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange, as well as a culturally egalitarian social order hostile to nationalism, free speech, private property, traditional family values and biologically-based gender identification or ancestral heritage.
The Aryan history, their symbols, Germanic mythology and all the research that went into this topic is so interesting. Let's just hope the Antarctic Germans survived and maybe there's a chance they can end this extreme Orwellian Marxist world we now find ourselves living in, it's way worse than even George Orwell predicted.

Why not just create his own bible? That's where the original Bible came from. People just gathered together their favorite versions of things written by hundreds of different authors (many anonymous) over centuries and edited out those they don't like. Then they presented them together as one book and called it "The Bible". Eventually people started acting like it was written by God and argued over every little word as if it were a legal document. It's just a collection of stories some King put together in the 17th century. It wasn't handed down by God- his giant white male hand, protruding from a white robe, coming down from the clouds like on The Simpsons.
And it's happened in the last moment😅
There's only one race of humans. We are all one blood, descended from Adam and Eve through Noah. There's more genetic variation within people groups than between people groups. Don't let the Neo-gnostics convince you that anybody is primitive, or more highly evolved.
You fallen for a lie. You ought to do some research for yourself, instead of repeating platitudes.
That would have been a non-starter because humans would have been inbreds from the beginning.
Humans evolved in different parts of Earth over millions of years.

You do realize that you said in this piece that Tacitus is responsible for what the Nazis did by penning one paragraph.
