  • Joachim Peiper, the third son of an officer in the Imperial German Army, was born on the 30th of January 1915, in Wilmersdorf, then part of the German Empire.
    On 30 January 1933, the same day Peiper turned 18, Adolf Hitler become chancellor of Germany. He then joined the Hitler Youth, the Nazi-organized youth movement. The Hitler Youth was a paramilitary organization designed to train boys as future fighters and soldiers for war. As an official organization of the Nazi state, the Hitler Youth had a military structure at the local, regional, and national levels. The boys practiced military drills and learned to handle weapons. They also worked on farms in the summer and participated in competitive sports, especially boxing. Some boys enjoyed the physical challenge, competition, and camaraderie. Others, however, found the constant focus on preparing for war and sacrificing themselves for the fatherland very difficult.

      "The sentiment that history repeats aspires to common sense and is hard to disagree with. In the history of the United States and Europe, wars have ended with confiscatory terms of government surrender inevitably breeding more wars. Revolutions, like those in France and Russia, that gave an individual absolute power-Napoleon and Stalin, respectively-inevitably end up as failed empires brutal dictatorships. Even individuals are subject to this advice. Couples who do not learn from their fights break up. People who don’t learn from their mistakes don’t mature." BigThink.

      Allied courts and judges were actually biased. Almost all of the Japanese who committed crimes against humanity never went to prison. The Nazis were barely punished any harder. I have NO respect for those who worked in the courts after the war. They HELPED the Axis monsters get away with their crimes and some even lived better after the war because the Allies helped them financially after getting information about how to torture people even more. The medical research was the ONLY thing that mattered to the Allies, not the millions and millions of innocent people they slaughtered. So a few Allied leaders were just as bad as the ones who ran the concentration camps. I don't care about advancements in medicine. If people were slaughtered and tortured for the "research", it's not worth pursuing.

      On Bastille Day, 14 July 1976, French anti-Nazis attacked and torched Peiper's house in Traves. When the fire was extinguished, firefighters found the charred remains of a man holding a pistol and a .22 calibre rifle, as if defending himself.[124] The arson investigators determined that person had died from smoke inhalation.[136] The anti-Nazi political group The Avengers claimed responsibility for the arson that killed Peiper; nonetheless, because of the destruction caused by the arson some French police authorities remained unconvinced that Joachim Peiper was the person found. If it was him, he died at 61 years old, so no swift justice.

Just because it's possible to work out a way to absorb the information, doesn't mean it's the best, most appropriate or most efficient way. I'm not sure what the solution is, but many videos only put text up for a ridiculously short time so finding the spot via rewind etc can be a pain on a phone, and if the trends I was paying attention to a few years ago are anything to go by, the vast majority of video is viewed on a phone. The best solution I've seen so far is where the narration warns you beforehand that you might like to pause and then the text is up for a few seconds at least, giving the viewer some time to decide to pause and then pause. Without having to seek at all.

    here is an element of truth in the Nazi claims, even the Allied generals thought Germany could hold out for perhaps another year and were surprised when it surrendered. It could not have won the war, but by inflicting severe casualties on the allies as they dashed themselves to pieces on the German defences, the hope was that they would consider more congenial armistice terms, but it was not to be. In those days the Social Democrats were a crypto-communist party, and because there was communist inspired civilian unrest in northern Germany and a naval mutiny, they and the communists in the interim government agreed to a premature surrender which scuttled the plan. The Social Democrats did not formally abandon their Communist ideology until the 1950s.

    Burning to death is a horiffic way to die. Many years ago I accidentally set fire to a work colleague. The event was fully investigated and I was found to be 'Not at fault' by the Health and Safety Executive, and that was also the opinion of my other work colleagues who saw the accident AND the person involved. During the aftermath of this event I witnessed the horrendous suffering of a victim of severe burns from top of head down to waist level. I still feel guilty about this (even now, and it happened on 21st June 2001) depite it being totally accidental. The girl involved survived but passed away a few years later from Miocardial Fibrosis, scarring on the heart tissue suspected of being brought on by severe stress. ANYONE Who uses burns as a method of deliberate killing in war deserves to suffer. I don't mean people killed in fires where the primary aim was to destroy housing / factories / industry and they just happened to be in the way such as the firestorms that occurred in Dresden during the Second World War, but setting fire to people on purpose is utterly barbaric and deserves punishment of equal severity and agony.

      It's still coded "mentally ill" in medical terms but has many other related diagnosis' as "mentally ill" related to "bipolar" or "mentally ill related to "schizophrenia" & many other subgroups. Medical diagnosis coders & physicians get lots of training on this because doctors & medical facilities get paid by the diagnosis code.

      The United States committed atrocities beyond counting in Vietnam and lost that war. And it can hardly be argued that the war in Iraq was ‘won’ and if you don’t believe the US committed atrocities there I’d suggest you Google images for ‘Abu Ghraib’ and prepare to be dazzled. By the same token the North Vietnamese communists that took over South Vietnam behaved brutally and that’s nothing compared to the communists who took over Cambodia. So not only is that a cliche but it’s an untrue one as well.

And call it a hunch but there won’t be a victor in the current Israeli-Hamas bloodbath either. As for the losers vanishing into unheralded silence, the South lost the American Civil War in 1865 and haven’t shut up about it since. So again - that’s a wildly inaccurate proverb.

    the stab in the back phrase referring to german defeat in ww1 was not of german origin. a british military attache was dining with ludendorff who was discoursing on the german defeat. the military attache volunteered the phrase 'like a stab in the back.' ludendorff jumped on the phrase and began repeating it as a way of summing up what happened to germany at the end of ww1. the phrase then entered into german rhetoric about its defeat by traitors on the home front.

    I may have missed something but I think the maker of this clip said that the Dolchstosslegende (the stab in the back) was started by the Nazi's. It wasn't. It dates to just after World War I. The Nazi's certainly used it, took advantage of it, but didn't create it.
    Germany after WWI and the Versailles treaty was certainly fertile ground for the Dolchstosslegende though. It was everywhere.
