Hi, comment ca va?
I'm a French/English speaker from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
I just wanted to mention that your French is quite goodl, especially considering the short length of your "schooling".
Also, your videos are extremely well made, easy to understand and helpful, in expanding my knowledge regarding the second world war.
Cheers from Canada,
et, merci beaucoup :)
I can speak another language with a 20 dollar bottle in 1 hour😂.
Love the narrator's voice. Clear and without too much volume variation. *Claps*
I'm loving your documentaries on high profile people from WW2. The only little point I would like to raise on this doc is that at 14:19 you say Hitler got released from Landsberg Prison after serving only a year of his 5 year sentence. He actually only served just over 8 1/2 months of his 5 year sentence, or historically noted to be incarcerated for 264 days in Landsberg prison. Keep up the good work.. 🙂
It's unfortunate that the nine books Hess wrote while in Spandu are not available. I managed to get one of them and it gives real insight into what was going on in Germany.
Sounds like you're setting the stage to rationalize and justify the most outrageous genocidal nonsense. I advise you to read Moby Dick , Les Miserables or War & Peace since you enjoy reading so much...
@@donellboozer4349 Done
@@donellboozer4349 lol...why isn't rat America or the British ever held to account for the millions they have killed??
If you can read Portuguese or Spanish the books are available. They’re garbage. It’s butthurt whining from a guy who feels slighted like a girl who didn’t get asked to the prom.
@@StoneInMySandal You've never read any of his books. They are in German and Russian.
My grandfather was one of the prison guards in Spandau Prison, rotating between Allied and Soviet soldiers to look after Nazi prisoners; was one of the personal guards for Rudolf Hess.
He watched his sleep, shave, shit and eat throughout the day as part of his assignment to him. He rarely interacted with him, instead he only asked for requests and was an easy prisoner to watch that took to solitary confinement really well.
However, he would be allowed time in the yard or garden where there was a couple of trees for prisoners to roam around for outside breaks. Hess would climb one of those trees and spend his time reading poetry whilst sitting in it.
My grandfather always said, "He was an unremarkable man, who just read poetry in the trees
Your statement of "an unremarkable man" reminds me of Hannah Arendt's book about Adolf Eichmann ( a colleague of Rudolf Hess ) the Banality of Evil ( a Holocaust survivor, a brilliant woman who wrote several other great books ). The unassuming appearance, ie, the incognito of evil. This brilliant documentary has taught me that Hitler's men may have had intellection but none of it was common sense. I quote, George Orwell, "There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them."
He was a brave soldier and a patriot. RIP Mr. Hess.
@@mattja52Idk what can be believed,but apparently most of the high ranking Nazis had high IQs
Agree
It’s hard to grasp how this all went down
Fantastic Documentary.... 10/10. Coincidently, Hess is my "Great Uncle" by marriage not blood... nobody talks about him in tbe family. Especially since most of that side of the family fought with the Allies. Bet that made for some real awkward holiday get-togethers heh. Thanks again for making this.
We all have similar experiences. My great uncle General Queipo de Llano commander of the Southern Army of Spain had three nephews fighting in the rebel side against him and FranciscoFranco . Two survived the war , one a minor did not he was killed in battle. My grandmother the General's sister claimed her sons body to be sent to Cuba but he denied her request ! . It was not until after his death that my grandmother received her son's remains thanks to the generosity of Dictator Francisco Franco. I was born in 1940 years later I only new my grandmother ., no the other uncles...wars are very bad in many ways , particularly when families have members fighting in opposite sides. My grandmother and rest of family never spoke about the great uncle .
All of this, music, narration, and image, was beautifully done.
Great program, thank you
Technically..at around 5:38..”Germany was forced to surrender” ..an armistice is NOT a surrender..rather a cessation of hostilities or peace where both sides agree to stop fighting. To treat someone or nation that has,by reconciliation, laid down it’s arms in mutual agreement as a subjugated defeated foe, is to lay the foundation for inevitable trouble and rebellion in the future.
I think its odd that they kept him imprisoned all his life just because he didn't show remorse.
There is more to this than we were told...
USA, UK and France wanted him to release several times in 1970s. Soviet Union has always vetoed it.
I believe Hess knew war with the West, or a two-front war, was not going to end well for Germany. He was at least sensible that way.
great narration as well!
Very very good!
Very informative
Interesting that he did so much time, while others got out so quick.
He was one of the founding fathers of nazism in Germany.
That's why...!
England didn’t want he interviewed… imagine the public knowing Germany asked for peace multiple times and that the war could be avoided or stoped.
Agree…I wondered the same thing
Where were you when I had History classes.. you make it so much more personal and relatable.. thumbs up! 👍🏻
He never apologized. If he even pretended to be repentant he may have gotten out.
Apologize for what exactly?
@@lestergreen2828 helping Hitler write an anti-Semitic book with so much hate, plotting to and facilitating the mass murder of millions of people, deceiving people, being a horrific human, etc!
@@lestergreen2828 crimes against peace and humanity, including his role in planning and supporting Nazi Germany's aggressive war policies and the atrocities committed under its regime.
Excellent narration and a very revealing story, thank you so much
My opinion is that the man Hess was trying to find a safe way for Pease with the British, didn't deserve the sufferings he faced
Please do a profile on william joyce lord haw-haw.

Hess knew things that's why he was a given a life sentence, dying under mysterious circumstances.
أنا محظوظ باكتشاف هذه القناة ❤️
I'll never understand how he got life while others got 20 years sentences.
Because he stupidly praised Hitler at his final testimony at Nurermburg. Just before the judges passed sentence.
He was an idiot but didn't deserve that sentence because he wasn't responsible or even in Germany when the worst excesses were committed.
I made that exact comment in another video site...Speer gets 20years, Hess life..
Hess was sick. Not sick like a distorted world view, sick like couldn’t discriminate between reality and fantasy.
He needed to be in a specialized mental health facility, but he knew too much to be in such a place and none of the allies were interested to assume responsibility for him in one of those places. They also couldn’t execute him because of his mental state. So he was left to spend his days at Spandau.
The Russians objected to his release.
@@clifforddishmon6406 Can't blame them for that. Hess supported Operation Barbarossa even if he wasn't involved in it's planning or execution.
His mentor, Karl Haushofer, should have his own profile. Maybe a little too similar of a story to Hess though. They even fought in the same theater in WWI.
Hess’ head looks like a Roblox cube or some Minecraft shaped head 😂
I think Hess liked the idea of revolution in jail with his master, but the reality hit him very differently, hence his flight response into a unconfirmed situation with the Duke of Hamilton, politically Hess was naive as he assumed too much without due diligence & confirmation before actually taking action in a futile attempt
Personal Stuff from Hitler got interviewed in the 80s and said Hitler was informed about the flight.
these videos are nothing short of fantastic, amazing watch as always 🤌
This is insane this guy I have his photo in my grand father’s picture book insane I am Egyptians. Thats crazy.
Nice
Türkçe alt yazı desteği için teşekkür ederim 🙏🙏
The Curious Case of Rudolf Hess deserves some good fiction story writing )) On a serious note, I guess the case is rather more complex than we appear to see, and possibly his file held at the MI6 will open new horizons when declassified in 20-30 years time.
Read Spandau Phoenix by Greg Isles. It's a fantastic novel.
@@jerryinsc thank you 👍
@@washubrain You're welcome. He wrote two novels related to WWII. The other one is titled Black Cross and it's an excellent read also. Actually I think the two books were in series with Black Cross being the first and Spandau Phoenix being second.
@@jerryinsc sounds interesting, thanks, will try to dig into that 😃
These people profile docs are awesome thanks, what sick, sick puppies.
Bedankt
Thank you!
I transcribed the stories of the pilots imprisoned in Stalag Luft 3.
He probably had enough common sense to realize that Germany could not win a war on 2 fronts.
British sure didnt want him interviewed after his release.
Yes, imagine people in the 70s learning that Germany proposed peace multiple times during the war, and that the whole thing could be avoided if England didn’t push for it.
I find it amazing that so many of these comments are actually supportive of Hess.
You should read the comments under the Franco video. It is pretty clear that this channel has a very loyal Fascist following
Yes, it’s pretty disturbing.
I don't know about the "supportive" thing, but when you read about the horse trading that went on between the Allied powers at Nuremberg regarding who gets hanged, who gets what sentence etc (this is before the trials so nobody had even been found guilty), you'll see it had very little to do with actual justice. For example Speer should have hanged for what he did- he got 20 years and a book deal.
The truth shall set you free...
He wasnt involved in holocaust but was judged like one or even worst, ended up hated by the Germans, the British, the soviets, basically all even though he turned himself 4 years before the war ended
He looks like Dickie Moltisanti in the flashbacks.
I remember trying to read Mein Kamf. I worked on it for several years. It put me to sleep every time I read it and I never got past the first chapter. It was deadly dull to put it kindly.
I much preferred the audiobook known as The Ford Translation 👌🧝♂️🧝♀️
The question is not why did he get life and others 20 years.The question is why the others did not also get life sentences. (In the case of Speer, I think we know why, but he deserved life).
From what I understand, the Russians had a hand in his sentencing. And seeing as Hess was a firm supporter of Operation Barbarossa before his flight, the Russians threw the book at him
Says he was being poisoned. Lives to be 93.
Thankfully, for him, his enemies showed more mercy to him than he, and his colleagues, could ever muster.
Not sure what you mean. Hess had a dream about saving English babies from war. It inspired his peace mission to Scotland.
Ah, ok, I see where you are coming from. In which case I have a bridge I'd like to sell you............ @@user-wj6dt5bq3w
Surprised he was not awarded the Noble Peace Prize!
😂
very good
I've always wondered why Rudy rocked the UNIBROW? Didn't anybody tell him?
Evidently the Nazis weren't big on stylish facial hair-consider his boss's mustache, for example. 😉
Good video
Rudolf Hess, his life and death will always remain a mystery. He led a Peace Mission to Scotland at the early part of World War II and was discounted by the Nazi's of the time.
Figure that one out?
His strange death at such an advanced age has led to a great deal of speculation as to its' causes. Read the circumstances surrounding his mysterious death and the investigation that followed. It reads like a Graham Greene novel.
This poor man tried to go around what they thought was a media issue to plead directly with Churchill for peace, only to find out just how rotten he was and who was really in control...
Thanks. New thumbnail looks pretty good.
Excellent work. What a terrible legacy he left.

👍👍👍
Instead of listening to music while drawing , I listen to this channel !
Love the narration instead of watching
Thanks for the video! My brother was part of Hess' guard in the '80s. He's fallen into extremely bad habits since leaving the Army in 1990, but as a younger man I used to love listening to his stories about the changing of the guard and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
I don't believe a word of that. You lying old fool
Hess was allowed to write letters to his family in Germany? How did the letters get to Germany from England in the middle of a world war?
They did It through Switzerland 🇨🇭, because it was a neutral country during the war.
Bro, emails?
I do love how the community vote has the old thumbnail winning but you guys use the new one 😂
Personally, I like the oil painting look of the new thumbnail. Won't complain either way, old ones are nice in their own way too.
@@DramaticApe both have their merits but I find it silly
We gathered most people think the old one looks more like him, hence the higher vote, but the new style is better in our opinion. We will work on getting a better resemblance going forward.
Theres no democracy in Nazi Content.
@@PeopleProfiles that’s actually EXACTLY what I was thinking when casting my vote 😂👏🏻
There has to be something about Hess that is not public knowledge.
😅s
Wasnt he trying to get to the Mitford family on the Isle of Mull when he landed in the mainland of scotland ? Or were there other sympathisers there? Stirling is a hotbed for the Scottish Nationalist party and they were supporters of Hitler in the war years..
It's all down to that evil uni-brow.....
Why did he get life and Speer just 20 years?
Because he was one of the founding fathers of nazism in Germany. He was second in line and was organizing a lot of shit that happened later on.
Just because he fled or whatever happened, doesn't make him a better person or less guilty.
He deserves what happened, or rather, he should have joint the other at Nürnberg trials and enjoy same ending.
Speer convinced the Nuremberg court that he didn't even know about the holocaust. Photos of Speer with Himmler at a death camp surfaced after Speer's release.
True or false. Did Prime Minister Margret Thacher place an addition twenty year prohibition on the Hess file?
True
Life sentence in the UK in a one-man prison with access to a transistor radio most likely broadcasting the Beatles 24/7 was a peculiar punishment
I bet he liked "Nowhere Man".
Because he had info on vips. Plus was it hess who was jailed or a lookalike?. Plus did he kill himself or murdered?
danielaaaa
I have heard stories of mini strokes can cause mental problems. Can they be a source of mental decline. Can Hess's mental state be diagnosed as sign of mini strokes for years causing him to struggle with covert dementia?
No. He was probably Schizotypal, a personality disorder, not anything resulting from a physical health issue like strokes.
Born in strange times
Karena terlalu banyak tau tentang perang dunia 2,dan tau cara menghentikannya 😢😢
I’ve Always been perplexed why after 4 plus decades in prison he would hang himself …. Also, theory of British murdering him after all those years don’t make sense either.
There’s not many times in history there wasn’t tension in Europe
Yepp, I will never be able to understand why the allies from WWI allowed Germany to rearm again despite the Versaille treaty, just like that???? No worries????
No one got it at the time what it could end in, and with an agressive government like that???
There were elements in GB who wanted to ally w/ Germany against the Soviets. The Versailles treaty itself was basically unenforceable without severely destabilizing that part of Europe (keep in mind Germany and Hungary had suffered Bolshevik revolutions of their own after the Great War). For perspective, the Treaty of Sevres w/ the Ottoman Empire was also practically unenforceable and replaced with a new treaty with a new Turkish government a few years later.
Because it’s pretty widely understood even by people who were enemies of Germany in World War I, that the treaty of Versailles was actually unrealistically harsh on Germany. And also, it’s easy to say all these years later that it all looks so inevitable, but when you’re actually living it, you don’t know that.
@@conors4430 guess the economical aspect of the V T was incredibly harsh but not the military side, control of that was doable, except it looks like no one was interested!!!!
16:20 If this is about Germany, why do we get to see DUTCH posters?
How can “fascists” possibly be “right-wing?” Isn’t fascism the complete control of a country by the state? Isn’t right-wing politics aligned with libertarian and limited government principles?
Now that I think about it, I think “fascism” is just a slur akin to the “everyone I hate is a Nazi” trope.
Well, that started off with a curveball. When the presenter said Hess had been born in Ibrahimiyah, I thought, "My word! That sounds strangely...Semitic." Then, a second later, he explained it was in Egypt, and the world made sense again.
Look up Erhard Milch for more confusion lol
Very good take on Hess.
thus.....
Though NOT explicitly stated in the video I can clearly see that he is in fact not a red nosed reindeer.
When your explaining the communist and socialist troubles after the first world war your showing Dutch images. No German available? Great channel you have here. Outstanding work!
What ended up happening to Hess is a crime in and of itself ,
I believe that when he saw Germany tearing itself apart and then going after to many other border countries, how many ppl were being killed and so his dream had gone further than his courage would allow.
Beautiful documantary. I am utterly facinated by Rudolf Hess... Was he really a bad guy? Or just totally weird and confused
Hard to be world war loser twice
@@Geo-di3lc to me personally it doesn’t matter wether he lost twice. I am fascinated by his quasi deranged mind.
Yes he was a horrible villain.
Couldn’t even kill him self like a real man, spineless pathetic caricature
Dangerous, dillusional, antisemitic, nationalist, who helped bring into power a crazy, paranoid, insignificant, sadistic man who thought nothing of killing off millions of people. Is that weird enough for you?
He's is a complicated man, and so is his degree of guilt, as well as his treatment by the allies towards the end of his life. Yes, he had an active hand in the atrocities of the early Nazi regime, but was absent during the bulk of it's crimes against humanity. His seriously diminished mental health, should have been taken into consideration in potentially considering early release based on compassionate humanitarian early release during his final latter years of life. Perhaps confinement to a mental hospital might have been deemed more appropriate than keeping him locked up to rot away in a cell. I think the allies could have handled the treatment he was subjected to in the final years of life, with a more mature consideration.
There were no "crimes against humanity"
He was indeed a misfit, a very dangerous one at that! Anti Semitic and a Nationalist from his youth, he played a major part in bringing Hitler to power. You reap what you sow. Rotting is a good word, he was indeed rotten already from the inside out.
A group of malcontents came together to form a hate-filled regime and through a series of unfortunate circumstances for the Germans, were able to bring about untold suffering and death to millions. Let us all learn from history and be wise, that this may never happen again!
@@gurjotsingh8934 there were crimes against humanity during World War II, and these were well-documented
Please do Nicolae Ceaușescu!
new videos or only new thumbnails?
Sorry?
Hess was set up. Well done Churchill.
Does 23:06 need a PM behind it? There are no AM's/PM 's in the 24 hour clock....it doesn't need them!
I don't know which drugs Hess was taking 🤔
Probably pervitin, just like both Hitler and Göring did - for a start.
Hitler later on developed addiction to a whole lot of both drugs and medicin mixed.
Hitlers personal doctor, "Dr." Morrell had Hitler going on for years and probably made German victory impossible. Hitler was a complete wreck by '43/'44.
WHEN DO ALL THE PAPERWORK BECOME AVAILABLE TOO READ OR WILL WE ALL HAVE PASSED AWAY .
You never bring up the debilitating effects of meth on the German people, solders civilians, or high nazi command. Saying “pain killers l” is misleading. The meth was meant as a caffeine substitute and was distributed as such.
You can't say that here. The channel would get demonetized by youtube.
@@rbjm so CZcams is so set on censorship and misinformation that a channel that is for education can’t be accurate? That’s not better.
Pervitin, a speed/meth- like drug was widely used in German Army.
Hitler and Göring was having some of it too 😂, too much, in fact.
Hitler was a total wreck at the end of the war, same goes for the fat man, Göring.
@@oneshothunter9877 near the end of the war they were injecting it into Hitlers eyes!!!
This is no doubt controversial but I read that it was actually Hess and not Hitler who wrote Mein Kampf
Well, strangely enough, even the typing paper that was given to Hitler was brought to the jail by Hess' girlfriend.
Eyebrow man
I don't like it when ads are integrated into the programme.
When Speer asked what he got immediately after receiving the sentence, Hess quipped “probably death penalty. I didn’t listen”
I will never, EVER condone Hess's beliefs or deeds, but he sat the war out in various cells in the UK. He did not deserve life in prison. The Russians definitely played up the "Victors' Vengeance" card.
What beliefs and deeds?
He was Hitlers right hand man and personal friend and you dont condone his beliefs? He offed himself like a bitch after being in prison for way to long. They should have hung him like the rest of the fuhrers cronies in 1946
I agree, he tried to get peace with England. Hess wasn’t deranged, I think his flight to Scotland was sanctioned by Hitler who was lukewarm about fighting the English whom he viewed as cousins. After the mission failure, naturally the Nazis claimed Hess was acting alone, that’s normal practice.
He deserved everything he got and more. Disgusting the way some people rewrite history.
@@sandrabentley8111 well said fascism is the most evil idea ever conceved in the history of mankind
you need to check your facts propperly
The thumbnail reminds me of the art I'm Disco Elysium
He was right about one thing at least. It was a show trial. The trials were subject to a lot of political machination.
A truly great man
Hi, Adolf.
Can you just imagine the shock on that unibrow when he found out he didn't in fact end the war after a secret parachute mission with secret documents, only to be told you're actually considered a giant traitor back home and now definitely under arrest in your enemies nation?
Must have felt like quite a whoopsie, I bet.
He should have requested for a dog as companion and therapy and then use the dog to see if the food is really poisoned by giving a portion of it and observing the health of the dog.
That would have been a very good idea!
Hess didn't get away for long... ghehehehe.
