@@adipaul9424 But Bill Gates closest relatives weren't members of the KKK - were they? The elite in America is much younger, except of Hollywood there are barely companies and families where you can draw a line from slavery to the richest families today. Despite, the poverty was really inherited in that way (like in every country since slavery has been abolished).
Keep in mind that Germany is one of the most open and honest countries when it comes to their dark times in history.
That deserves a lot of respect.
Most countries choose to ignore their dark parts of the past.
Right. This is only a problem *because* Germany recognises her past. But Japan, which hides all of her actions during WWII, never seems to get this. Even though Japan also had companies and they were also active during WWII.
but still not honest enough

It's a good documentary. One suggestion. Make a documentary about the connection of American capital with companies in Nazi Germany almost until the end of WWII. It wouldn't be a bad idea to do a film about the connection of the English aristocracy with the Nazi Germany.
Be careful what you ask for as it may turn you hard to humanity. The truth is these collaborators, manipulators, whatever you want to call them - you do not need the name of their clubs nor orders nor anything. They are there and have been for much longer than we probably know. They turn our world into what it is daily and its why we see it like we do and wonder why it can't get better. But that's all just conspiracy - so I'm told.
oy vey, please don’t notice the banker tribe who funds both sides of every war
By the fall of 1945, German scientists starting arriving on U.S. soil. Not all the men recruited were Nazis or SS officers but the most prominent and valued among them were, having worked either directly with Hitler or leading members of the Nazi Party, such as Heinrich Himmler and Herman Göring.
Wernher von Braun, a rocket engineer, was instrumental in developing the first U.S. ballistic missile, the Redstone, and later the Saturn V rocket while serving as director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. As a Nazi ideologue and member of the SS, he traveled to the Buchenwald concentration camp, where he "handpicked slaves to work for him as laborers," said Jacobsen in a 2014 interview with NPR. this might be what you're reffering to

Judge: "Oh, damn, I'm so sorry to hear that, mate. You know what, don't worry about the fine, just concentrate on getting better."

It is also important to remember that after the war the occupying western allies purposefully did not prosecute some "minor" nazis, since they needed a "strong West Germany" against the soviets. That meant that alot of former nazis were in government, justice system, police, business and so on
Well unless you wanted to blacklist 3/4 of the adult population at the time you just simply had to accept that quite a number of low and mid level officials would reinvent their lives after the war. History has proven this out as the correct course of action. Just think when the Soviet Union collapsed we in the West didn’t demand everyone a member of the Communist party be tarred and feathered either.
No one ever prosecuted Soviet criminals. Funny that. Jews did love the USSR
Very true. And one of the main reasons de-nazification never really happened in Germany until the 80s and maybe beyond
Don't forget Operation Paperclip. The US went to the Moon with the help of Wernher von Braun and Kurt Debus... war criminals who, in creating the V-2 rocket, participated in deliberate and massive attacks on civilian populations.
germans are what made the space race possible...
incredible quality and pleasant to watch and listen.. thanks man
These documentary's you never see on Discovery Channel, i wonder why :))) Awesome work! Congratz
As a German I’ve always found it interesting that we have the supposed reputation of coming to terms and being honest with our past. The more you dig into it, you realize there’s a lot that was swept under the carpet. Many people from the nazi time period kept silent, and honestly I think most Germans including myself don’t have a clue what our grandparents or parents really did or how they felt during this time. I’ll never know because they’re now dead
my grandmother tell me, , when I was a child, not,everything was bad,during the NS regime..she didn'tsee the bigger picture. .really sad 😔
You can write to the Bundesarchiv and get informations about your grandparents
Great comment. From my experience, I absolutely agree. Even the grandparents who were too young to have served in Nazi times, sometimes made comments that showed sympathy for the Nazi ideology or even Antisemitism. But rarely, because the consensus was to hide those sentiments and not to talk about that time. Germans know very well, when they have to halt die Klappe, be silent. And since the Wirtschaftswunder gave them anyway what the Nazis promised, a very high rank in the world, Exportweltmeister etc., it was comfortable enough to shut up. They could look down on other people anyway, all those lazy, faule, and incapable nations.
Remember that it was a US television show from 1978, with Meryl Streep, called Holocaust that showed average young Germans what their ancestors did to the Jews in WWII. It was an outcry against that show from big parts of German society. Those people did want to forbid its airing in Germany. Completely censure it. At the end, it was moved from a prime spot on the ARD to the so called third programs. But in the end that show made a difference. Since then we have all that shows on TV and learn about it in school. E.g. my mother, born 1954, did not learn that.
Your grandparents a are no different from the people here in the United States who will jump on the side of anybody that seems to be winning in public opinion.. the fact that we had people calling people murderers and wishing them dead because they would not take an experimental medicine shows that we here are just as capable and will side with people doing atrocities if it's in our best interest or if we have to participate ourselves!
So true. My family refused to talk about Hitler. I often wonder how oinvolved they were. It was a code of silence

Oswald Spengler, an intellectual which inspired the Nazis and gave them an air of respectability early on:
"In Spengler’s Prussian utopia, the workers can hence look forward to working even on Sunday. It need hardly be said that progressive taxation and political pressure to increase wages are detestable in Spengler’s eyes. He expends great energy in denouncing what he terms the current Lohndiktatur or Lohnbolschewismus (“wage-dictatorship” and “wage-bolshevism”) of the trade unions; similarly, in a 1924 lecture dedicated to the issue of taxation, he excoriates the imposition of taxes on the rich, which has become nothing short of a “question of life and death” (Spengler 1933c: 299).
He there equates the “West-European taxation policies” with “dry Bolshevism, which threatens to level down everything which protrudes above the masses” (309). In terms difficult to tell apart from those of a stringent economic liberal, he concludes this address by pressing to eliminate the political-democratic administration of taxation and-looking ahead to such organizations as The World Trade Organization or The International Monetary Fund?-to entrust all decisions on such matters to economic experts, a “world conference of insiders to the economic life.”
“The more ‘just’ a tax is,” he avows, “the more unjust it is today. In the evaluation of such things the economy has the first word, not the jurist, the professional politician or the fiscal civil servant” (310)."

As a German who had the topic "Nazi regime and the third Reich" present every year in school, these were again interesting details into the corporate history of these companies. Even though we Germans know a lot about this topic and many of the big global German companies cooperated in some way with the state (not all voluntarily) it is very important that this history is not forgotten and that we deal with it. Sehr gutes Video! Danke
Volkswagen... nothing more to say, they were criminals in the third reich where they used jewish forced labor in the concentration camps, now the use the muslims in chinese concentration camps :D. Never change a running system, i guess
It's important to remember that while some families and company leaders might have been Nazis, not all were members because they wanted to be. Many were members because they feared for the lives of their families and I doubt many people today would behave in any other way.
This is pushed by German rivals to make Germans hate themselves as retaliation. All whites get this treatment by descendants of the Rothschilds and other connected groups. You'll never hear about any crimes if it is a rabbai. The co-owner of a major adult platform is a rabbai as an example. They want to exploit guilt to destroy your kind. They want to rule without competition. This platform isn't good for stating specifically what I want to say without the comment being removed. That's just a gist. The USA has been taken over by this group, and basically we get fired from our jobs (economic warfare) if we ever call them out. They want to cherrypick past wrongdoings as a weapon.
Even tough it´s kind of unfair that people who had money and shares of those big companies, got away with their actions after the war. The inheritants of those bad people own money that was probably generated with forced labour and the German goverment should really do some research again.
Most Germans know nothing about the Third Reichs, other then "wanted to conquer the world and kill all jews".
The statement of Sven Quandt gave me literal shivers...
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” - George Santayana
Saying this as somebody who inherited a fortune with Nazi ties makes this so much worse too. Either this is a capitalist statement that tries to whitewash their company's (and the entire country's) history purely for better profits or it's ideological in nature. Either way is disgusting as it belittles the atrocities committed and discredits the victims.
You dont even know where it starts... how could you know when it happens again...
@@germaniatv1870well the AfD certainly is steering in that direction, those little fuckers ..
It will probably repeat especially if AfD wins the next election. In my opinion it’s now only hidden behind a facade
bible stronker then sveny boy. it says: there is nothing new under the sun ! what was, will happen again
Just found out about this channel. If this is the standard you're setting then you've found a new fan. Good documentary, very interesting.
Thank you for this research!
All of these German born rich yacht enjoyers, should know that if they flaunt their wealth to the less fortunate, someone is going to dig up exactly how their grandparents made that fortune.
Well they know. When did you last see a stupid tweet about boxing from the owners of Aldi? Most rich people know better than to be famous
@@gur262 Aldi did not exist in the Nazi time though, they are children of the economic miracle.
To be fair, she was definitely just repeating what her parents had told her since birth. Not saying that excuses her for not doing her own research. But like many, she just accepted what she was taught from her family as the truth.
There are millions of Germans alive today who had Nazi grandparents. I'd bet very few of them take the time to research all the atrocities they committed either. They'd much rather pretend it didn't happen.
It's incredibly important to be aware of the ways these dark times still effect us and who still makes a profit off of them. I love this channel and I appreciate this video

The 'Kunsthalle' Art Museum in Bielefeld (where Dr. Oetker is from) has been named 'Richard Kaselowsky-Haus' from its opening 1968 until 1998 because Dr. Oetker sponsored its construction and provided loan art. After they renamed it 'Kunsthalle Bielefeld' the relationship between city and company has been strained until quite recently
Why until recently? What happened?
@@xxXNaokiKunXxx With splitting the company among different shareholders, which of course are still descendants of the Oetker Family and Rudolf-august and Kaselowsky getting more distant in their family tree the topic is discussed less emotionally and as said in the video a hint of awareness and processing is sensible. Although in 2017 Maja Oetker (Rudolf-august 's wife) was still pissed off about the city replacing a whitewashed memorial plaque about Kaselowsky in the Kunsthalle with a factual one, which mentions his controversy
@@janschesch3609fuck I live in Bielefeld and didn’t know that lol, that building is just not really interesting to be inside

Thank you. This was interesting and important.
Would be nice to see a documentary about George Soros and his past too!
August von Finck Junior did not only silence the past, he organized a gold shop for the AfD party, giving them millions for electory campaigns. Also, his company was involved in the "Prospérta" project in Honduras, which tried to set up a kind of neoliberal dictatorship there.
and the satirical party "Die Partei" made a parody on them, selling 100€ bills for 100€ each and write the "profits" in their books to provoke the legislation to make a law against it, which also made the Afd goldshop illegal as means to fund the party. I think fern should cover "Die Partei" in a future video, because it is probably a unique phenomenon in politics to have a satire party that actively pushes against Nazis in such a creative way :D

the 1% but it doesn't work that way.

i came from simplicissimus and i love seeing the development of this channel.
keep it up
lets add these off the buy lists. Good to know. Great video and thanks. Mercedes and most German big business next. They all collaborated
Why is that so surprising? Of course, what do people believe the NAZI regime fell and there were no more former leaders with NSDAP? Of course, a lot of business leaders during the war were also after the war. Al lot of Japanese companies have a WWII past and as such families as the Toyoda family. You can also say that the British and Dutch royal family wealth has links to slave trade. The Belgian royal family have links with Colonial Congo as a lot of Rich families today in Belgium. Also a lot of industry in Germany was already there before WWI like the Thyssen and Krupp families. So it goes way back towards the 19 century. Supporters were also the von Opel family, von Finck family. You can also say this for the Ford family (also used Used slave/forced labor), or the share holders of IBM
By far your best video yet. Thank you for your research.

Not really, because you will never ever see stuff like „dark side of jew rich families“ or dark side of US army actions“ fuck the nazis and their leftovers, today the worlds richest people are jews but none puts a video about them lol kinda weird isnt it?
Yeah me too
Love the animations of your videos. They are uniquely tailored to what is being discussed. So much easier to pay attention to details. Unlike pretty much every other educational video on youtube that uses stock footage that is usually only mildly relevant to what is being said and often highly distracting.

This is probably the only and hardest topic for me regarding understanding human nature, history, and culture. For all other human/social-related topics, there is a relatively clear view, and well-approved wisdom in Chinese culture regarding internal conflicts and hurts. But this one is very dynamic for the Chinese regarding Japan's crime since WWII, As a civilization, not just a nation, we have to keep an eye on and hustle it whenever necessary... It is not going as well as we expected and has become more complex and harmful...
A good book is "ordinary men"by Christopher Browning dealing with that topic
Perhaps look into Mao’s crimes? They far overshadow those of the Japanese. Even Chiang Kai Shek’s crimes probably do.
Thank you guys, this is such an interesting topic.
Keep ip the great work
It’s interesting how no sanctions were put on these companies
They were developed and encouraged by the us government
are there sanctions to American companies involved in genocide and wars?
Well isn't it obvious if wanted to survive in that era you were required to follow the supreme leader's orders. I dont think people should punish the companies for their action as they were only trying to survive.
Well said. Great point!
Maybe allowing some wealth to stay in Germany despite its dark past was a way to avoid a repeat of the resentment following WW1. Food for thought.
Thanks for bringing this to an international audience. It's important to be aware of these ties. There were also a lot of nazis making a career in post-war Germany in the justice system, education system and law. "Der lange Schatten", the long shadow of Nazi Germany.
They even continued in politics like the Austrian President in 86-92 (former member of Wehrmacht and SA) Kurt Waldheim. And the Auatrian extremist right wing party FPÖ was founded directly by and for Nazis (it was called VDU then)

Well, it's certainly true that hardly any of the super rich of today anywhere in the world have made their wealth without either themselves exploiting people or having inherited their wealth from such ancestors (aristocracy, colonialists, slave drivers, etc.).
But it is very disturbing, that so many of them didn't get arrested during the Nuremberg trails!

Yup, too many people expect you to feel guilt for the, "Sins of the father"
Stay educated on what happened and don't deny reality, but there is 0 reason to feel guilt about what you didn't do. The mistake this young lady made was denying historical fact about what her family did to get so rich. She refused to be properly educated on the subject.
This goes on every day and all day. This is because in this society of Earth, money is respected and valued and protected more than human life. Proof if this is still going on today with a country beside Germany.
Great video, I wasn't aware how much is owned by families here in Germany. Just a quick tip: We try to avoid the name "Kristallnacht" (night of the broken glass), since it's a term used by Nazis to glorify the events of that night. Instead we call it "Pogromnacht" or "Novemberpogrome" (November pogroms)
Pretty sure they are aware of this, but thid is (sadly) what it is known to lots of non-Germans, cf. english Wikipedia. Thanks for the note though.
It is universally known as Kristallnacht in other languages. In my experience I can confirm it for Czech, French and English. It is a similar case for the "Night of the Long Knives".

Remember it, research about history, but don't cancel it.
Every country has a history, every company has a history too.
Besides that: I like your videos and love to see more of it. Very good research, understandable for everyone and very cool design.

History cannot be cancelled lol
History in teaching/literature in the best case has something to do with history
It's not only the billionaires though. There was a concentration camp in my hometown and the local companies (ex. bakery, a gmbh that owned and leased a residential quarter etc.) also used forced labor. And they also still exist and of course don't try to draw attention to their crimes.
People are often in denial that the population knew about the camps but it is just not true. Unless the camp had an extra train station, prisoners first had to walk from the local train station to the camp. You simply can't miss that for years.
Most of my city's tourists are here for the memorial and they walk the same path those prisoners had to walk, right through the center.
Everybody knew. There have even been records of a child asking sb from the SS about murderings of prisoners of war.
Internationally Germany may be praised for the "Erinnerungskultur" but it's really not enough. I suppose it beats persecuting those who expose their country's war crimes or pushing national pride instead of teaching their own wrongdoings, too.
it's not only in Germany, it's in every country that suffered destruction from war. That chaotic period allows people to gain companies, lands, properties for very low ammounts of money. Who wants a company in a country aflicted by war. I'm from Croatia and here the same happened, many people got very very rich because of war.
Wow never knew about the Dr Oetker company, used to buy their stuff back in Prague.
“A little humility goes a long way.” Billionaires’ kids should learn that right from day one.
This explains why the Nazis tried so hard to keep the Soviets at bay as long as possible while not putting that much effort to combat the West in the latter part of the war. The Soviet confiscated all of this Nazi family wealth, whereas in Western Germany, things stayed the same for top class.
Basically dont brag about getting rich in Germany 😂
Sure it is important to remember the past .....but it is also important to move on, we can't change the past we can influence the future!
I wish more people thought like this. Dwelling in the past does not move us forward.
It is so crazy to me how far above all of this happened, even so far that the "average" Person like me never even knew, or just a bit, about the way they got their wealth and the way they handled it
nose
Germany's unforgivable crime before WW2 was its attempt to loosen its economy out of the world trade system and to build up an own exchange system from which the world-finance couldn't profit anymore.
Behind a mass fortune there is a high crime.
I had a two week internship at the Varta Plant in Hannover, now Clarios. I was actually told about the history, though not in great detail. It was mentioned rather superficially.
Glad i found this channel.
It wasn’t lost on me that a Dr Oetker advert popped up right before they started talking about Dr Oetker!
As a German this is one of the worst aspects of High society/Nobility/Capital owner classes.
We have more then a a million people in Germany that are "Old Money" and because we are Germany that Money has a bit of a special spice.
Since it is kind of obviously impossible for your family to be still wealthy after the Nazis, if they did not play ball or more likely even profited of the Regime, your wealth is not just unjust but down right evil.
We should not have "Old Money" none of them deserve the wealth and half of their ancestors should have rotted in prisons.
Noone should be a wealth hoarder. The money always comes from some form of exploitation.
@@trffft2866 Most of the big Industrial Companies started in the late 19 Century/early 20 century, thats not that old. To say it is normal to use slave labour is a pretty tough statement, don´t you think? Just because they all did it doesn´t mean its less horrible. These People were industrialists who cared about nothing else but their profit and their familys still do the same today. Even more terrifying, when you think that most of the resources of these Companies are still extracted in really inhumane ways and that there are hints that Companies like for example volkswagen are producing teir parts in chinese concentration Camps.
These people haven´t changed, these people never lost their big influence and they don´t care about anything but their profits, thats something we should always remain and never play down.
@@CordeliaWagnerpreach
Was für ein geballter Schwachsinn
@@CordeliaWagnernot true. Wealth does not always come from exploitation. That is just extremely wrong, naive and uneducated thinking.
All you have to do to become wealthy is to provide a good or service that is extremely scaleable.
If you for example write a computer program or app that is so useful that millions or even billions of people use it you will instantly become a multimillionaire or even billionaire.
Just because companies hire employees to work for then does not mean that employees are automatically exploited.
They are being compensated for their work by a negotiated price and a price that is dictated by the supply and demand of skilled labor.
Your style of thinking is the 101 of any Marxist but really lacks understanding of the world and how wealth is generated in the first place.
You're free to open a company and become rich it you choose.
This video is very interesting. The information is well researcht and well sumerized. I like such videos about the mysterious hisory which contains so much information. We should learn from the past in order to avoid such terrible incidents. In the future we should try to end slave labor because there is still child and also slave labor in the world.
Thank you for this nice video.
More videos like this !
Bro the ads of this video is boss for me 😂😂
Idk why no one talks about Oppenheimer and America, thy also killed a lot of people in Hiroshima and always take as excuse that they had to fight the Nazis, but are as same as bad a Germany, and there are a lot of other countries that also did very bad things.
lets not forget the American companies involved in producing killing machines (guns, armies) and in wars (Vietnam, Iraq, Cambodia, Serbia killing millions).
"Some information should stay private, such as your personal data..." ...what a transition... I'm sure the Oetker family would argue that their data should remain "private" as well!
How about the CROWN? Did you know the CROWN owns you? Who is the CROWN?
Absolutely agree with you here. They deserve their privacy. The same of their grandparents should not be placed on them.
Fascinating thank you.
I usually never subscribe to youtube channels but this channel deserves it
Off brand German (Austrian) here - this video reminds me of when I had friends who worked at the Allianz insurance company at vocational school - every presentation about the company's history by those classmates made sure to mention where *that party* and its involvement with the company. It was shocking the first time I heard it but it just made a lot of sense that other companies who are still thriving also had party involvement - be it by choice or by coercion.
Love the content and thank you for showing your sources. I feel like no other video essays channels do this when it is extremely important for the legitimacy of the content
So true. He doesn't have to do that'd, and unfortunately it's getting less and less common, but you're 100% correct. Especially since these videos will live online forever, it's so important to prove its legitimacy.
The sources under a Video only matter, if we go to the libraries and look them up
and search for more profound or contradictive literature too.
Otherwise they work as an authority argument, and helps us sleep on,
and dream of how wise we are.
@@thomasbentele2468 I don't know if you have seen but at each new info he's saying on the left bottom corner there is the source. This way he can absolutely not make up the information and it is very easily verifiable.
Yes they indeed they only matter of people look them up but at least it's possible and no they do not work as an authority argument but as a way to legitimate the content. All other video essays of this type on UA-cam provide absolutely no sources so you have absolutely no way of knowing if the information is true and when it comes from. The point is that with sources you ARE ABLE TO verify the informations.
@@jona4385 I agree.
I am not neutral.
As long as the US archives about the war and especially the German archives, deported to the US are not open,
the first thought that comes to my mind when Germans are blamed is,
is the information around because it fits the propaganda narrative. And what would history look like, when the archives were open.
Its one thing, to offer the open sources, the other thing is, most sources are still locked up.
Thank you for your patience.
Well, that could be said for companies even today. The difference is that when that happens/ed in Europe the outcry lasts forever, because it's somehow hard to digest. Now that is currently happening in Africa in very elaborate ways yet the outcry is notorious by its absense.
The harsh reality about reality is its harsh and unfair. Let go of "Fair". Ruthlessness and power win more often than not. The payout is generational wealth. Hard pill to swallow but true.
Its easy to forget these companies and their bad history while it is still influencing the society today. Thanks for the video
All wars are bankers' wars. The current Nazification of Ukraine was accomplished by the American and European Jews. The collaboration of American Jews with Banderites (self-proclaimed Ukrainian Nazis) was first manifested when the Kagans clan invited the prominent Banderite Dobriansky to sign PNAC (the neo-Talmudic project of world domination). Later on, Wolfowitz became involved with the Banderites as well. The 2014 regime change in Kiev was run openly by zionist Nuland-Kagan in collaboration with Parubyj, the founder of the Ukrainian Nazi Party. Immediately after the zionist-nazi putsch, the CIA helped to initiate a civil war against the people of Donbas. Mr. Kolmojsky, the President of the Jewish Community of Ukraine, founded and funded four Nazi battalions (including the Azov battalion loved by the Jewish Lobby) to protect his properties in Donbas. Ukraine was looted by Jewish oligarchs like Kolomojsky and Nazified by the US State Department (see NED) to be used as a patsy in a war against Russia.
are there sanctions to American companies involved in genocide and wars?
