USA allied with Russia at the latter stages of WWII with the shared goal of defeating N_zi Germany...and immediately after victory and even before... the Cold War pretty much started between them
I've loved everything your team has done for close to a solid decade now - WW2, Korea, TGW, Between Two Wars, all the Time Ghost Miniseries - but despite not having flashy maps or archive combat footage, I think this is the most impressive and important series you've done. Keep up the good work, Time Ghost.
The format of having both Indy and Sparty present a topic is fun. Which I suppose is a bit of an odd description considering the topic they're covering, but you're right that the energy is infectious. Definitely something the channel should considering doing from time to time with future projects.
I was unaware of Wilhelm Frick, so I found this: Wilhelm Frick (12 March 1877 - 16 October 1946) was a convicted war criminal and prominent German politician of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) who served as Minister of the Interior in Adolf Hitler's cabinet from 1933 to 1943[3] and as the last governor of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. As the head of the Kriminalpolizei (criminal police) in Munich, Frick took part in Hitler's failed Beer Hall Putsch of 1923, for which he was convicted of high treason. He managed to avoid imprisonment and soon afterwards became a leading figure of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in the Reichstag. In 1930, Frick became the first Nazi to hold a ministerial-level post at any level in Germany in Thuringia as state Minister of the Interior. After Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, Frick joined the new government and was named Minister of the Interior. Additionally, on 21 May 1935, Frick was named Generalbevollmächtigter für die Reichsverwaltung (General Plenipotentiary for the Administration of the Reich).[4] He was instrumental in formulating laws that consolidated the Nazi regime (Gleichschaltung), as well as laws that defined the Nazi racial policy, most notoriously the Nuremberg Laws. On 30 August 1939, immediately prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, Frick was appointed by Hitler to the six-person Council of Ministers for Defense of the Reich which operated as a war cabinet.[5] Following the rise of the SS, Frick gradually lost favour within the party, and in 1943 he was replaced by Heinrich Himmler as interior minister. Frick remained in the cabinet as a minister without portfolio until Hitler's death in 1945. After World War II, Frick was tried and convicted of war crimes at the Nuremberg trials and executed by hanging.
Hello all. Far from my intentions is the wish to split hairs, but I would like to make a slight remark on your excellent content : Raymond Poincaré was indeed former French Prime Minister during the period you are handling, but he is of course more known to have been the President of the French Republic during WWI. Maybe that would have been worth mentioning in the caption as well. Thanks for all your work ! Best wishes from Clermont-Ferrand, France.
When I was stationed in Germany in the mid-nineties, I was at Taukunnen barracks in Worms, Germany. These barracks had the distinction of being occupied by the by the Prussians, Germans, French and Americans. We had a lot of pictures of when the French occupied the barracks. I think it was called Foch barracks at the time.
I too totally love the Tintin references at the start of this and another previous episode. I hope Indy will continue to do them. I know the comics pretty well so I can recognize to which one he's referring.
And another successful episode with the cool readouts of contemporary articles. And for those that do not know German, the tone and content of the Rote Fahne and Völkischer Beobachter (of course its taken the more rhetorical and editorial parts of the content) sound just like this. Ideologically charged neologisms (Klassenverräter- class traitors), violent descriptions of opponents, apocalyptic language... Nevertheless, it is shocking that even before taking power, the Nazis in Thüringen had already brought in weird things like compulsory prayer with politically charged content. This early.
I try to imagine the situation of the "typical German" working family in all of this continual tumult and chaos. It could not have been a pleasant experience. I simply want to go to work, do my job, pay my taxes and have a govt. that protects the interests and stability of Germany (in some traditional sense). It must have been maddening for anyone with such mundane hopes/requirements. I would not be surprised if many Germans who could afford to do so - left for America or somewhere much more stable.
Pretty close to the family-needs and divisive political chaos of today's USA..... social media's net-negative influence helps foment trouble here too......
Sebastian-Thanks for throwing slang nicknames for things in some of the episodes. I really enjoy it when you add that and it brings some authenticity to the piece. Berlin in the 30’s was very much like Chicago, USA during Prohibition and the Great Depression. I’m really enjoying this series and the almost manic tone of the articles from the different political parties!
I just found this channel and I have to say I love the sort of newsroom style used to present all the facts as if they are current events. It's very engaging! Also this is a part of world history that, at least for me, was often overlooked in school curriculum in detail. We tended to spend a lot of time on WWI, get a quick, basic explanation of how that lead to WWII, and then move straight into that war without talking jn-depth about the interwar period. It's fascinating to learn more detail about the political landscape that lead to the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany.
This is an amazing series. The granularity of coverage, particularly enabled by the translation of German-language sources, puts this project a cut above any other coverage of these events I have seen. You have earned my support. P.S. Anyone know where to find more about Frida Höft, the swing-dancing Swastika maiden mentioned last episode?
Fun fact about Tintin, in Japan he is called Tantan. This is js because there is no "tih" sound, and is usually said as "chi." This is a problem, because chinchin means penis in Japanese.
I normally listen to these videos like a podcast (rather than watching them), and had to double check that I didn't accidentally mute the video when they were reading the top headlines at the beginning of the video.

@ Absolutely no disrespect to Sebastians writing at all was meant. He’s doing a great job and I’m thoroughly enjoying this series. I think this format actually makes the reader feel like a participant of the events.
16:42 I had no clue that pro-European propositions, at least to the point of political parties across Europe openly talking about it, happened this early. Anyway great job, can't wait to hear about further developments, and whether this Hitler guy ever amounts to anything.
The Pan-European Movement goes back to about 1923 - straight out of WWI there were a lot of ideas flying around about how to avoid it happening again (sadly we wouldn't really try any of them till after WWII…)
21:18 Hello Spartacus and Indy. I just researched your (Spartacus') pipe and discovered it be called an "e-pipe." I had never seen anything like it before. I learned 2 new things today: e-pipes and that the Little Corporal lived with his niece, Geli. 🇺🇸🤝🇩🇪
"Angesichts einem drohenden Eingreifen des Reichs erklärt er (Frick) jetzt: Mein Name ist Hase, ich weiß von nichts und habe nichts gesagt." Here you go!
Since you've started back at the beginning again, I know you guys do War Against Humanity, but I wanted to point out a Spark of Humanity: the Leica Freedom train, an underground railroad like attempt to get as many Jewish people out of Germany started in 1933, which does kinda put a crimp on the idea that no one saw it coming.
There’s some weirdness here. The first “solution to the problem” was just to make life so miserable that the targets would voluntarily leave, leading to the area being “clean” (rein) of them.

Am loving these... having lived well over a decade in Germany in a couple different decades, it is extremely interesting to me hearing the drivers to the rise of the fascists, more detail on the communist popularity (which I saw first hand quite often), and other societal details... it clarifies many things for me and even answers some questions.
Regarding the cold open before the beginning credits: 1930 Germany needed Ground News since the extreme Right and Left newspapers ignore news that is inconvenient to them!😂
It is said that after the French left the Rhine, all that could be heard in the offices of the far-left and far-right newspapers was the sound of crickets.
I love seeing the two of them Working together, it's a good Ying and Yang vibe One is super serious and tells us the history of Germany with authority And the other is Indy 😂
I sometimes think, that the mistake after ww1, was that Germany suffered and was humiliated, it had no agency with theVersaille treaty, but after that, Germany was still self determined and did have agency. So, it's kind of not surprising, that resentment grew, along with the ability to challenge the status quo. So, the peace settlement should either have been much more mild, or much more harsh. A mild settlement might have been something, that could have prevented this resentment to grow and something, that could be much more readily accepted. While a much harsher settlement, along with a full occupation would have forced Germany to accept the reality and demonstrated the utter defeat on the battlefield to the german public.
@ quite true, but like compound interest, it adds up, I’ve long wondered had the Great Depression not happened, what would WW2 have looked like. But one cannot understate how the Versailles treaty impacted everything in Europe after 1918, I just think there are other variables at play as well. What if Austrian mustache man had a decent job?
14:36 translating the idiom literally with "My name is rabbit, I know of nothing" is a bit weird. That line originally comes from a student called Karl Victor Hase who had helped a friend leave the country by "losing" his identification papers that the friend then just so happened to pick up and use them to flee to France. When he was asked about it by the police, he stated "My name is Hase, I know of nothing." Interesting fact: He was the great-uncle of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Ah, thank you very much for Tintin et Milou! You're fantastic! And at 12:15 the Frankfurter Zeitung becomes the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. ;) A very nice not quite Freudian slip, eh? The Frankfurter Zeitung was shut down in 1943, in 1945 the Frankfurter Rundschau was authorised by the US military government and when that proved way to critical/left-leaning/possibly communist the Frankfurter Neue Presse was launched as a mouthpiece of the Americans. In 1949 the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung came along. Ever since the evolutionary line has been disputed. The FR laid claim to upholding the tradition due to having seized the FZ printing presses and being the first newspaper to follow the FZ. The FAZ argued that only they embodied the liberal tradition of the FZ and so on and so forth. History, you just have to love it.
It was a wonderful historical coverage video about challenging amongst ( Nazism, communist, social Democrat) political powers which they agreed on shallows Germany political atmospheric more and more to deceived public opinions...Easley for themselves expansion
I always wonder how many people will get it, but this month is special- the last episode of "Tintin and the Soviets" comes out on May 8th. And it's Tintin's first adventure.
? Regional accents?! The quotes are originally in German, so no. The use of different voices illustrates that it is not us saying this, and serves to differentiate one paper from the other.
And today, we're seeing these trends play out in the leader of the free world, the USA. It has been the case particularly in the last few days, with the far right rally in Madison Square this past week.
I'd love to see a Special exploring the political ideologies of both Mussolini prior to creating fascism and Hitler prior to creating nazism. You know, like how Mussolini was considered THE marxist of Italy and even described himself as an "authoritarian communist". Or how Hitler was a twice elected battalion representative to the soviets (council) of the People's Republic of Bavaria in Munich of 1919. But I guess we'll never see these delved into since it's against the main stream narrative.
We’ve covered their previous paths (links below). You should get the details right though… Mussolini was a Social Democrat (liberal left socialist), never a communist. Hitler worked for the Bavarian branch of the Reichwehr (the German Army). He served regardless of government. The closest he got to any leftist stand was to answer the question if he’d ever been sympathetic to the left with; “everyone was a social democrat at some point.” Here the links: Rise of Fascism and Mussolini's March on Rome I Between 2 Wars I 1922 Part 1 of 2 ua-cam.com/video/O9fCzJR60uQ/v-deo.html Enter ADOLF HITLER stage left I BETWEEN 2 WARS I 1919 Part 4 of 4 ua-cam.com/video/0dnK-5wEBf0/v-deo.html Hope you’re able to enjoy some simple facts as much as you embrace silly punditry…
They did mention where Mussolini came from in their special on him in Between 2 Wars. Though it didn't mean that much in the long run, as his ideological positions changed substantially, as I'm sure you're well aware of. As for Hitler, he was replacement representative to the Batallions Rat, not the actual one. Still, the relevance of this tidbit is quite accurately represented by how often it is mentioned - Hitler betrayed his colleagues in the council as soon as the Council Republic was defeated, and he himself never mentioned that episode ever again. But yeah, that was an okay attempt at "fascism is socialism" trolling.
Do you think that an alliance with your opponents is something worth considering if they share your goals? Let us know in the comments!
I love the Tintin reference at the start, even though I'm not a big fan of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets
USA allied with Russia at the latter stages of WWII with the shared goal of defeating N_zi Germany...and immediately after victory and even before... the Cold War pretty much started between them
Yes
But do they share our values? That's another thing entirely!
To answer your Question: it depends on the opponent, but I would personally draw the line with any form of extremist movement.
the new "where is hitler?" segment is much appreciated, as previously he felt quite absent from a series titled "the rise of hitler"
Thanks for the feedback!

"Where's Hitler" conjured images of the paper hanger wearing a red and white striped shirt (appropriate), hidden in a crowd in some beerhall.

Starting with Tintin in the Soviet Union (well, the ending of it), huh? A very nice way to start the episode!
is that intro a reference to tintin?
@@proCaylak yep the first adventures of Tintin
I'd really want to see TG try and fit Tintin and its surrounding lore into IRL history
One of the previous episodes started with a reference to _The Castafiore Affair_

There’s some weirdness here.
The first “solution to the problem” was just to make life so miserable that the targets would voluntarily leave, leading to the area being “clean” (rein) of them.
Getting them out (safely or not) met the goals of the toothbrush fans. In the end it was far better for them to flee, but it served those dark goals.
They only really switched to the final solution when other countries stopped taking the exiles (q.v. the 1939 voyage of the MS St. Louis).
Am loving these... having lived well over a decade in Germany in a couple different decades, it is extremely interesting to me hearing the drivers to the rise of the fascists, more detail on the communist popularity (which I saw first hand quite often), and other societal details... it clarifies many things for me and even answers some questions.
Regarding the cold open before the beginning credits:
1930 Germany needed Ground News since the extreme Right and Left newspapers ignore news that is inconvenient to them!😂
It is said that after the French left the Rhine, all that could be heard in the offices of the far-left and far-right newspapers was the sound of crickets.

This begs the question , where did all the communist's go following the rise of the Nazi's.
Concentration camp… if you mean voters; either silent or sympathetic.
I'd love to see a Special exploring the political ideologies of both Mussolini prior to creating fascism and Hitler prior to creating nazism.
You know, like how Mussolini was considered THE marxist of Italy and even described himself as an "authoritarian communist". Or how Hitler was a twice elected battalion representative to the soviets (council) of the People's Republic of Bavaria in Munich of 1919. But I guess we'll never see these delved into since it's against the main stream narrative.
We’ve covered their previous paths (links below). You should get the details right though…
Mussolini was a Social Democrat (liberal left socialist), never a communist.
Hitler worked for the Bavarian branch of the Reichwehr (the German Army). He served regardless of government. The closest he got to any leftist stand was to answer the question if he’d ever been sympathetic to the left with; “everyone was a social democrat at some point.” Here the links:

Hope you’re able to enjoy some simple facts as much as you embrace silly punditry…
They did mention where Mussolini came from in their special on him in Between 2 Wars. Though it didn't mean that much in the long run, as his ideological positions changed substantially, as I'm sure you're well aware of.
As for Hitler, he was replacement representative to the Batallions Rat, not the actual one. Still, the relevance of this tidbit is quite accurately represented by how often it is mentioned - Hitler betrayed his colleagues in the council as soon as the Council Republic was defeated, and he himself never mentioned that episode ever again.
But yeah, that was an okay attempt at "fascism is socialism" trolling.
