- Max Planck was tested by Hitler, how could he stand up for his friends Albert Einstein, Fritz Haber, Lise Meitner, Otto Hahn and more? Did Planck do the right thing? Watch the video and decide for yourself.

As a lifelong physics and history nerd, I hold your videos to be in a class by themselves. You combine excellent science education with fascinating and germain insights into the personalities of your subjects. These presentations provide a depth and richness about lives that are typically presented in one dimensional ways. And you have outdone yourself this time. Bravo! This is truly a great piece of work.
Didn't expect to cry from one of your videos. Go Max Planck, you did what you thought was best for science
You missed one of the coolest aspects of the raid that rescued Planck... One of the members of that team was a middle aged man named Gerard Kuiper. The father of modern planetary science... "Kuiper Belt" is named after this guy who risked everything to save an icon of science.
Planck’s story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of any sort of nationalism at the expense of a moral compass
as a german i have just discovered your videos and even though you slaughter most pronounciations it's completely irrelevant when looking at how informative these videos are for me, i don't need any german content after this even though obviously english is my second language this was very comprehensive even. i of course know most of the history but did not know much about the science side and happenings at the same time. thank you so much!
I had read Max Plancks memory protocol of his conversation with Hitler on behalf on Fritz Haber and I was fascinated by the buffoonish description Planck was providing of Hitler, especially the part that Hitler started hitting himself on his leg when he was getting enraged during the conversion. I wasn't aware about all the historical context so far, thanks a lot for putting this together in such a good presentation!
A little beside the greatly told story - I can’t rid myself from the feeling that we are in a somewhat analogous time frame today. Other countries, regions and people, but as humans we are increasingly polarized now, than just ten or twenty years ago. More specifically, the ‘08 crisis, the pandemic coupled with increasing social differences, troubled logistics and inflation, racial slur - How are our scientists feeling around the climate challenges and an economy favorable to giant financial powers? The top series on Netflix depicts just that. Are we in a 1918 to 1938 timeframe now? Greetings from 🇳🇴
While in highschool and college I worked for a Holocaust survivor. The only reason he survived is that he had a talent for repairing radio and audio equipment. Much of the understanding I have of radio receiver technology is due to Gerhard Isaac's influence.
It's scary to think that if Hitler and Stalin had kept their alliance going instead of turning on each other, and Japan didnt stupidly wake up the sleeping giant with Pearl Harbor, it is hard to imagine the world we would be living in today.
It really makes me think about what is going on today. What people accept, what people don't question, and how to people just go along with. Thank you for this video, you more than earned my subscription!
Kathy, I have read and seen enough to be familiar with the names and events. But the way you connect people and events together gives a completely new perspective on the science, the people involved, and politics at the given times, before, and beyond. This installment was the most powerful of all I have seen so far. Thank you!
I just found your channel (thanks to a recommendation from a friend) and this video was absolutely riveting. I'll be binging more very soon!
Thank you for all of your efforts regarding the history of Max Planck. Hearing you retell Lise Meitner’s and Otto Frisch’s famous stroll when they collectively realized that uranium atoms were fissioning and releasing tremendous amounts of energy. It is so sad that she did not receive a Nobel Prize for all of her brilliant work. She and Marie Curie are two of my heroes from the early days of nuclear physics and chemistry. Was so happy when they named a new element in her honor - Meitnerium.
The way you craft these stories is amazing, I'm so glad i stumbled on your channel!
Kathy. 3rd vid of yours I watch. Very, very well done, milady, widely presenting the different pov's of what must have been a momentous internal struggle for this great person in his seventies, under such severe circumstances
Outstanding voice and presentation! Thank you for making and sharing this.
WOW! Your talks (lectures?) are spell binding. Thank you for your insights into that horror of a time. I was born in January, 1943 - right in the middle of it. I have tried to understand this period from many sources. Your talks show a keen insight. Thank you
Hi Kathy., absolute brilliant , the amount of work and research that you have done is beyond me , thanks a million
Thankyou for taking the time to make these videos. Very interesting and educational.
Im so happy to have found your channel!! Thanks for all the awesomeness 😍😍
