It's ridiculous that CZcams won't let you show swastikas in a historical context.
Yet a video game call wolfenstien is completely allowed!
Which is kinda ironic since they would allow him in to use it Germany
or the fact that they allowed the swastika in my history book when i was in middle school/ high school wtf is wrong with this country
@@rinasogi9240 people became pussys
It's not a swastika, it's a hooked cross or Hakenkreuz. It's a Christian symbol.

isnt it wehrmacht?
@@kizugx At that time, it was Weimar Republic (it has almost the same system as today). Wehrmacht was established as Armed Forces (in german), and the republic became Third Reich (one party system dictatorship). In any case, inflation wouldn't effect debt payment, as it would adjust to it. Most of the time, the debt will be repaid through either foreign currency or outright traded goods.
@Funtime Florian JUST TAKE THE BREAD GODDAMIT.
France and UK: Seems like germany's having fun making lots of consumer goods
Germany with civilian factories producing military equipment: Yes, so much fun
100% consumer goods would be very bad
underrated
Germany was doing what everyone else was doing? EGADS, MAN! RUN FOR THE HILLS!
It's wrong. Germany was producing more consumer goods than military products. I do not know where historians believe they found evidence for this presumption that the Third Reich was preparing for WWII by industrial effort. When the Polish incursion began, the German army was stretched to its very limits. If the French would have persisted in their Saar Offensive, they could have defeated the Third Reich in those early September 1939 days right away.
Portraying German war preparation in the years preceding WWII is a commonly echoed myth. What Hitler always had on his mind then was to approach some kind of equalisation in military strength. He had a treaty with Britain on a ratio of British to German naval power, for instance. That treaty was abandoned later on, due to concerns that Germany would not be able to get at par with the increasing Soviet submarine threat, but the point remains that there was no such thing as an obvious Nazi drive to prepare for an alleged commencement of war in Europe.
All of those stories seem to ignore the fact that the German military started from a really weak level. Increasing this strength was relative to that low level. It was not about becoming stronger than the others, but about being able to defend the country in a proper way.
@@Guido_XL Thank you, Guido!
I remember that there was a story where a German man came home with a wheelbarrow full of money
The next day he woke up, he discover that someone broke into his house but the robber didn't still his money....but the wheelbarrow instead

cool, now read real history, revisionists corected a lot of errors of the ww2
I was hooked by meme lol
Fine, but please do keep in mind that this video only echoes the usual myths, not any proven truth from history.
The way in which the Third Reich allegedly prepared for war by increasing military spending is such a typical error that gets regurgitated a lot. Also the alleged "fact" that the Third Reich would not be able to economically survive if it would not occupy other countries soon, is a common myth. The problem that the Third Reich was facing was indeed related to high finance, but, in contrast to other countries like Britain, Germany could not get loans on the international finance market to lubricate its economy. There was a reason for the Third Reich to rely on barter trade and the complicated issue with Mefo bills and such.
@@Guido_XL no
Most historians neglect to mention that it was the Weimar government who surrendered in 1918, not the Kaiser, as this could lend credence to the "stab in the back myth." Good on this video for telling the full story in that regard.
Yeah, after Ludendorff panicked and suggested the armistice to the government. Then in hindsight, he created the "stab-in-the-back-myth" to save his and the army's reputation.
@John Titor Can you give a source for your claims? In my ears, this sounds exactly like a revisionist, right-wing myth.
"Myth"
Lmao keep telling yourself that. America only entered the war because of pressure from the zionist lobby in the UK (Look up the Belfour Declaration). Weimar was controlled by zionists and were happy to see the ottomans collapse.
The German people knew this and elected the party who brought justice back to Germany
@@kevinkirby4305 "Weimar was controlled by Zionists". - The same thing was in the centre of Nazi propaganda. It is interesting, that such nonsense will never die out.
"The German people knew this and elected the party who brought justice back to Germany" - Yeah, "justice": illegal murders, oppression and a Nazi elite who enriched themselves. (Look up, how Hitler and his cronies swam in fortune.)
In Germany, your statements would be considered as Neo-Nazi, rightwing propaganda. So you are an antisemitic Nazi.
You can be glad of yourself. đ€Ł
Yeah, but the OHL had already prepared to accept a peace deal since October. It just happened to be the case that the delegation that was designed to accept the humiliating armistice arrived under the Kaiser's leadership on 9th November and then did the same two days later, just this time with the agreement of Ebert.
And you know what? The German High Command kind of wanted it that way! To them, the German revolution was actually a great opportunity to whitewash their role in the war and deflect blame towards the Democrats who they wanted to sweep away again. They literally wrote letters openly saying how happy they were that they could blame the Social Democrats for their own failings.
Several members of the OHL actually ended up becoming big purveyors of the stab in the back myth such as Ludendorff, who was mentioned in the video here, EVEN IF he knew EXACTLY how much he was at fault for it.
In many ways, the High Command were a bunch of sore losers and it is a pity that many Germans believed their lies.
Even worse, many of Hitler's initial collaborators from the conservative side, many of which were close to the OHL, wanted to reinstitute a sort of German Empire 2.0 and tried to use Hitler to their advantage, which utterly failed. Their biggest enemy was Democracy and not the fascist threat. Just like the initial OHL had been...
The role of German conservatives and traditionalists during the Weimar Republic is breathtakingly irresponsible and dangerous, even among those who didn't really like Hitler and his antisemitism. In the end they all helped Hitler or worked with or under him, regardless of their intentions. In that sense, German conservatism was completely stained for a very long time after WW2. And it all started with the German High Command blaming the Democrats for the peace treaty of Versailles.

Wow...wasted opportunity then if they didn't went to war.
â@@itsblitz4437 Nope, they needed to go to war. You don't place your nation in a permanent state of wartime economy without going to war. The gratitude and national fervor only goes so far. The average German was working 60 hours per week, this was a wholly unsustainable situation without a focal point upon which to focus collective aggression.

âBy using the iron cross as a Nazi symbol, you are just incriminating a metal awarded to soldiers with heroic acts in warâ
-random historian
Don't really get the point of this at all. The Iron Cross predates Hitler's Germany and is still in use by the Bundeswehr. The reason why iron crosses are used in Nazi documentary illustrations because people don't like displaying Swastikas for obvious reasons.
@@willyvereb that is true. Hitler tainted the symbol. The swastika symbols are found literally everywhere in India and China.It means prosperity and good fortune. The symbol dates back 11,000 years in India, China, and Africa.
@@generalpatton7876 It ain't even a swastika, its a Hakenkreuz, a tilted Swastika.
@@eugenewithm1630 so basically a swastika
@@trforcectat smh, its a bastardised plagarised version of a swastika that wasn't even called a swastika in Germany during that time.
I would also mention the sheer willpower among the German soldiers. All of their families struggled tremendously because of the Treaty of Versailles and they knew that they had to fight to keep their country well-fed
Ohh n the Meth they were given
The german soldiers took drugs that kept that awake
Hence they could fight a whole day without rest
âGermany suffered the most inflation in historyâ

Zimbabwe: we have a 100 Trillion dollar bill that equals to 1 dollar
Well, the last time the gas price grow, it was 16 million percent and still 3$ for 40 galons (if you make days in a stack for buy it)
@Steven Lee you realize that even though to figure how much hyperinflation is affecting the country it is common place to use foreign currency as measurement, that doesn't mean the foreign currency is culprit, right? Like, the Weimar republic, Zimbabwe, and Venezuela, were stupidly doing their public spending without funds

I would like to point out that these German dudes aren't just talking in German but with a thick Bavarian accent. The whole event takes place in Bavaria, so that suits perfectly.
Chapeau for that level of detail only German speaking people would notice.
no wonder it sounded so unusual.
@Joshua N. Ajang Yes, there is a difference. Germany has a plethora of dialects. Standard German or High German is mainly spoken in northern Germany. The state of Bavaria alone, in wich the scene is set, has several dialects.
@Joshua N. Ajang every large language has local dialects and accents, as broad as British English compared to someone from Florida or Canada. Like just look at the subtle differences between a Jersey, New York or Boston accents even though there are relatively close. It's one of the coolest things about languages, how it modifies and changes so much for so many different reasons, just look at memes and how much communication our generation can do with some images and maybe some words, it's becoming an international form of pictograph communication!
I only know a little German because of Duolingo, but I assumed that it was some lesser-known German dialect due to them using hard Rs.
I studied German in Austria (Austrian German is very similar to Bavarian and they're typically lumped together as one dialect) and I picked up on that too.
The level of detail in this is amazing! Not only did they care enough to get German speakers for the beginning skit, they are in fact speaking in the Bavarian dialect!
That explains why it sounded so funny.

I have a friend whose grandmother was a little girl in Germany in the 30s. She said everyone was so happy and excited that things in Germany were getting better and better and people were excited at the time of how Hitler seemed to be making things better.
Most common people like her couldn't have known what was really going on, what Hitler and his regime had planned, or what horrible things would end up happening, but I don't think I blame most average Germans for being optimistic and excited about his reforms...to them, I'm sure anything was better than the years after the Great War and the Weimar years.

This probably reads like apologism after the other comments I made but... yeah. Really really. Censorship on youtube is more about avoiding demonetization than sending a message. Swastikas are illegal in German media and so they are frowned upon by youtube as well.

Thanks for this. Now I have a resource to share on the subject
The fact that they made plans banking on the idea that spoils from conqured territory would let them break even is absolutely insane. It just shows how fanatical the leaders were. It's almost admirable in a twisted way, and scary as hell in another.
yea, take that with a grain of salt. Every country on earth does this with taxes, they just do it to the unborn. Your parent's generation is paying tax to pay off their parent's social-programs, as you are paying off yours. There's absolutely zero justification for adding in some nefarious motivation about conquest. Historians, who are typically left-leaning academics , will suppose excess motivations to their political opponents for practicing the same fiscal policy as their political allies.

Also General Ludendorff was not present at the march. And Hermann Goering was wearing a german Stahlhelm.

Thatâs what they get. Along with the Austrians they had oppressed Romanians and others
Bulgarians: cries in Treaty of Neuilly.Bulgaria and Hungary were known as the countries surrounded by their own ethnic people after the teritorial divisions.Not to mention the billions of financial reparations.
Make sure to talk about George Marshallâs rearmament of the US armed forces from a small 100k volunteer force to 8M strong. Itâs the least covered.
Step 1: expand military hundred fold
Step 2: blow up countries you liberate
Step 3: Draft plan to successfully rebuild those countries
Step 4: be forgotten by history
Outstanding move!
@@TribuneAquila You forgot the part where you send the men to die in France, and create a recession in the 1940s.

âIt allowed the government to spend money that didnât actually existâ. Lol. Ya, cuz itâs not as if our fiat currency system allows government to blink money into existence in the form of debt or anything.

Go back to gold currency and hang the commies worldwide for speculating on labour. Im ok chopping off the top of the pyramid, seems like they want chaos, hang em all.
@@FarmersAreCool except it's "capitalists" not "commies."
It is really quite different you would be amazed at how complicated the system is today, the dollar is the reserve currency so demand for the dollar is always strong, even like now, when there is speculated trouble ahead, people convert their money to dollars. You can also look at other countries, and a way they make their currency valuable is that they peg to the dollar. Also if you were to devalue the dollar, then that would not necessarily be a bad thing as our exports would increase due to our goods being cheaper. The ability to print money is also not unique to our currency system, but something the whole world engages in, and America is particularly strong because everyone wants dollar, global trade is done in dollar, if you don't have dollars, then it is much harder to trade.
9:45 yourt wrong that Germany made no efforts to boost exports. They increased exports to Latin America something like 8x and traded extensively with the Balkans on a barter basis.
Part of FDR's fear of Germany was their potential to undercut US economic domination of south America.
Great video, i loved it
Hitler switched from survival to creative mode to get Germany back up
This video did not explain why germany actually succeeded economically as it did. I encourage you to read more about it you will be surprised.

Big point about "re-armament"
Germany was forced to lose 90% of its military after ww1. So when Germany rebuilt their lost military, it might look to us like insane spending because of how small the military was after the disarmament
Communism was not a small faction in Germany in the 30's. The were large and powerful.

Here's a summary of the video:
How did Germany Get so Strong after Losing WW1?
The Armchair Historian: Well, yes, but actually no.
Correct. They werenât. The European powers at that time (Britain, France, and Belgium) were just too stupid to curb stomp Adolfâs latent ambitions before the 30âs and wilfully ignored the obvious signs manifested by his rhetoric. They had the power both militarily and economically to do so but are too cowardly and just resorted to appeasement. Though their understandable apprehension to lose more lives in another brutal war they were trying to avoid resulted in just that: more lives lost and destruction never seen before.
@@canto10mosha65 This is a lot less accurate than was reality. In reality, the UK and France were in no condition to fight a war. Their people were incredibly anti-war and their economies were torn apart by it (nowhere near as bad as germany, though). In short, the myth that the British and the French did *nothing* is just that, a myth. In reality, they had actually begun mobilising for quite some time. A huge reason why appeasement even *existed* as a policy was to buy the British time to rearm. The French were often against it, and in fact in many cases Britain stepped in to keep them down. I don't know why you include Belgium in the list of European powers, that part is just retarded.
@Pingers Bingers the NSDAP was not in power at the time of the hyperinflation but they profited from it.
Personally, I think Hitler's move to get women out of the work force was brilliant. Men were no longer competing with women in the workforce, so more jobs available for men, higher pay for men because of less supply of labor, more financially available men that could support a family, AND more women having babies. AND he also forced people on welfare to work, because earning some money was better than no money, and being a burden on the taxpayer. Think what you want, but those were still brilliant moves.
@@Lexman00 Brilliant for a militarized dictatorship indeed.
This has some sad music.Good job Armchair Historian.

Here's a real life story about pre WWII inflation.When I was 16 I worked in a machine shop that had a 65 year old shipping and receiving clerk. He told me that when he was young they would get paid at work twice a day (once at lunch and then at the end of the day) so they could buy bread at lunch because by the end of the day the price could double or more. Then they would again buy food at the end of the day for the same reason.

Brilliant video!
Awesome as usual
11:02 That's because those roads were *NEVER* designed to be used by heavy tanks. German tanks during that time only consisted of light & medium tanks. Tigers and other german heavy tanks you probably had in mind were developed years after the autobahn project. Of course they won't fit!
Stop taking things out of context!
He also acts like so called forced labour was wrong when German people reciwed more money on welfare they recived for doing no productive work. Regardless it is not good but they were not forced but employed beacuse they didnt want to pay you to sit at home jerking off to good morning program hahhaahh. This is close propaganda rather then fact. German economy was stronger then French/British at the time considering they closed themselfes out of trade and for autarky/self suficient program. All of this and then say Germany was bad as how it is. Yea man but German people had jobs and worked to be productive. Why so much hiding on Military spending well beacuse German economy was hindered with production of any war machines like planes and tanks. Also a 100k people in army for that huge nation is nothing they couldnt defend their borders so German people actualy were forrearmament which was not held in secret from them. Next intersting thing is Germany starts WW2 when a fact is they didnt but rather UK/France did declare war on Germany. Japan invading China Americas fault as well as British and inequal trades that made Japan economy go bust. I would say its what he says half correct half wrong but whatever. I am not a pro Nazi but justis is not served after WW2 and what we are thought in schools for facts when its wrong
