    It's a shame that CZcams demonetized is videos like this. I can see in no way how this video is glorifying Nazis or anything else. This is simply history... history like the History Channel used to be. Thank you Simon Whistler.

      +AsapNicky Bars : I have no issues debating you, but you have no concept of reality. You just ramble on with nonsense. Any time you’re up to actually debating _facts,_ I am fine with it. All I’ve seen out of you is baseless accusations and attacks. There’s never any evidence to support your position, just your weak emotions. That qualifies you as mentally inept and incapable of debating things that are part of the _real world._

      +AsapNicky Bars : I’ve encountered you in other threads, or have you forgotten that little fact?
      If you’re going to be quoting from David Irving and other morons, I don’t have time for that stupidity.
      As far as Leuchter, yes... I am _very_ familiar with that case. Apparently you aren’t, or you wouldn’t be using that as your ‘evidence’. Leuchter was proven, in court (mind you), that his ‘samples’ were tainted and the results were thrown out, because they were contaminated (because Leuchter isn’t qualified to handle and process anything like that, he doesn’t have the specialized training for something that delicate). On the surface, Leuchter’s forensic findings could appear convincing, however they do not stand up to scrutiny. Leuchter was not looking for hydrogen cyanide gas residue in the gas chamber bricks. He was looking for ferric-ferro-cyanide or Iron Blue which he assumed would form when the cyanide in the gas reacted with the iron in the bricks of the gas chambers. He believed the walls of the gas chambers consisted of ordinary, unprotected bricks, so he thought the hydrogen cyanide gas would have been in direct contact with the bricks, making it more likely that Iron Blue would form. He could not tell that the brick walls had been coated with cement. The remains of this cement coating can still be seen in Crematorium II. This coating would have protected the bricks from the gas, making it less likely, if not impossible, for the cyanide to react with the iron in the bricks and form Iron Blue.
      Now... add onto that the fact that a Polish forensic research team gathered and processed evidence directly from Auschwitz. Their findings revealed the presence of cyanide. They believed the amount present was consistent with the manner it has been said to be used.
      Take your crazy somewhere else. You aren’t really interested in history. You’re interested in _revising_ history to fit your narrative.
      That’s good you love history - learn some.

      Oh...btw, I have actually spoke to soldiers who were _there._ They’re not in on some ‘conspiracy’ crap, I would know if they were feeding me a line (I know NVC). They start getting emotional when they speak of what they witnessed. Liars can ‘fake’ emotions, but the body always tells on them - these men weren’t lying.
      I also know someone personally that endured that Hell over there. They’re not lying, it happened. You can’t accept it, for whatever cognitive dissonance you’re dealing with about this stuff. Out of one side of your mouth you claim you want truth, then you willingly accept lies and try to pawn them off as true. That doesn’t work for a debate, man. It only makes you look foolish.
      But...yeah, put everything you got out here. It’ll be easier to ascertain the credibility of these sites you’re pulling this stuff from.

    My grandfather was in the french resistance during WW2, since he was too young to enlist in the army. But when the americans entered the war he became a tank driver, because he was older and more experienced at that time. He was captured by Gestapo twice. If it wasn't for his sister being able to forge papers to release him I would most likely not be able to sit here and watch this video. So this video felt closer to my heart than most, thank you Simon and the Biographics team for a great video! 👍And thank you to all other veterans for your service and bravery during the war. My grandfather didn't say much about his experiences, but the things I heard were not exactly upbeat. So thank you for your sacrifice

The fact that Lenin and Stalin were mass murderers doesn't mean that everyone was just as bad as the Nazis. I certainly don't think it's OK that the Red Army raped German women, but that happened after the Germans invaded Russia and massacred people there. The war was cruel and terrible, but certain groups were more brutal and terrible than others. Don't go thinking that everyone was the same. They weren't.

    My father knew EVERYTHING about World War II. I wish I had listened to more of his history lessons when he was alive. I've been thinking a lot about his knowledge of history (particularly the Second World War) and have been doing some research on the things that he enjoyed researching when he was alive. I knew most of this about Muller from my father, but I am loving all the information that I am getting. Of course, I fear history repeating itself. My country (America) is heading in this direction.

    Hi Simon! Thank you so much for doing thorough research; it makes your videos very interesting and teaches things that most people wouldn't know from high school history. I have a suggestion for a future video, if you would be interested. Can you do a video about Simone Arnold Liebster? She wrote the book "Facing the Lion" about her life as a child in Nazi Germany and I 10/10 recommend you read it, even if you don't do a video. It gives a new perspective on what that time was like for normal people. Thank you for listening!

    What's really interesting to me is that most of the higher up Nazi officers clearly had serious mental illnesses which would probably show up even if WW2 never happened and yet this guy sounds like more of an overzealous cop that wanted to be the best at his work.
    He partook in and organised all these monstrosities but in a different era and place he would probably be a successful stock broker or CEO like a lot of high functioning psychopaths and sociopaths that don't end up doing anything more serious than maybe a small white collar crime.
    I think circumstances play a big role in the direction of our lives and the scary part about all this is that most employers would line up to hire an intelligent but obedient man who never questions his higher ups and is very efficient at what he does so the perfect employee of today could have been a ruthless leader, a war criminal or even a war hero if born in another era.

      But before the CIA the US Army ran all that sort of thing. Not exactly (even if in some bizarre way close to true) believable the US Army harbored Nazi War criminals in 1945...???
