      Hi, comment ca va?
      I'm a French/English speaker from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
      I just wanted to mention that your French is quite goodl, especially considering the short length of your "schooling".
      Also, your videos are extremely well made, easy to understand and helpful, in expanding my knowledge regarding the second world war.
      Cheers from Canada,
      et, merci beaucoup :)

    I'm loving your documentaries on high profile people from WW2. The only little point I would like to raise on this doc is that at 14:19 you say Hitler got released from Landsberg Prison after serving only a year of his 5 year sentence. He actually only served just over 8 1/2 months of his 5 year sentence, or historically noted to be incarcerated for 264 days in Landsberg prison. Keep up the good work.. 🙂

      We all have similar experiences. My great uncle General Queipo de Llano commander of the Southern Army of Spain had three nephews fighting in the rebel side against him and FranciscoFranco . Two survived the war , one a minor did not he was killed in battle. My grandmother the General's sister claimed her sons body to be sent to Cuba but he denied her request ! . It was not until after his death that my grandmother received her son's remains thanks to the generosity of Dictator Francisco Franco. I was born in 1940 years later I only new my grandmother ., no the other uncles...wars are very bad in many ways , particularly when families have members fighting in opposite sides. My grandmother and rest of family never spoke about the great uncle .

    My grandfather was one of the prison guards in Spandau Prison, rotating between Allied and Soviet soldiers to look after Nazi prisoners; was one of the personal guards for Rudolf Hess.
    He watched his sleep, shave, shit and eat throughout the day as part of his assignment to him. He rarely interacted with him, instead he only asked for requests and was an easy prisoner to watch that took to solitary confinement really well.
    However, he would be allowed time in the yard or garden where there was a couple of trees for prisoners to roam around for outside breaks. Hess would climb one of those trees and spend his time reading poetry whilst sitting in it.
    My grandfather always said, "He was an unremarkable man, who just read poetry in the trees

    • @mattja52
      @mattja52 Рік тому +8

      Your statement of "an unremarkable man" reminds me of Hannah Arendt's book about Adolf Eichmann ( a colleague of Rudolf Hess ) the Banality of Evil ( a Holocaust survivor, a brilliant woman who wrote several other great books ). The unassuming appearance, ie, the incognito of evil. This brilliant documentary has taught me that Hitler's men may have had intellection but none of it was common sense. I quote, George Orwell, "There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them."

      I don't know about the "supportive" thing, but when you read about the horse trading that went on between the Allied powers at Nuremberg regarding who gets hanged, who gets what sentence etc (this is before the trials so nobody had even been found guilty), you'll see it had very little to do with actual justice. For example Speer should have hanged for what he did- he got 20 years and a book deal.

    Technically..at around 5:38..”Germany was forced to surrender” ..an armistice is NOT a surrender..rather a cessation of hostilities or peace where both sides agree to stop fighting. To treat someone or nation that has,by reconciliation, laid down it’s arms in mutual agreement as a subjugated defeated foe, is to lay the foundation for inevitable trouble and rebellion in the future.

    His strange death at such an advanced age has led to a great deal of speculation as to its' causes. Read the circumstances surrounding his mysterious death and the investigation that followed. It reads like a Graham Greene novel.

      He needed to be in a specialized mental health facility, but he knew too much to be in such a place and none of the allies were interested to assume responsibility for him in one of those places. They also couldn’t execute him because of his mental state. So he was left to spend his days at Spandau.

    He's is a complicated man, and so is his degree of guilt, as well as his treatment by the allies towards the end of his life. Yes, he had an active hand in the atrocities of the early Nazi regime, but was absent during the bulk of it's crimes against humanity. His seriously diminished mental health, should have been taken into consideration in potentially considering early release based on compassionate humanitarian early release during his final latter years of life. Perhaps confinement to a mental hospital might have been deemed more appropriate than keeping him locked up to rot away in a cell. I think the allies could have handled the treatment he was subjected to in the final years of life, with a more mature consideration.

      He was indeed a misfit, a very dangerous one at that! Anti Semitic and a Nationalist from his youth, he played a major part in bringing Hitler to power. You reap what you sow. Rotting is a good word, he was indeed rotten already from the inside out.
      A group of malcontents came together to form a hate-filled regime and through a series of unfortunate circumstances for the Germans, were able to bring about untold suffering and death to millions. Let us all learn from history and be wise, that this may never happen again!

      Because he was one of the founding fathers of nazism in Germany. He was second in line and was organizing a lot of shit that happened later on.
      Just because he fled or whatever happened, doesn't make him a better person or less guilty.

    I cannot understand why Hess thought that Churchill will accept his offer of peace only with Britain. I think Hess schemed long before the war the idea of fleeing the Hitler regime by plane, and thus cleverly enough created this lullaby of a concocted peace making effort.

      Possibly,but perhaps his original loyalty was to the improvement of Germany thinking that Hitler was the answer until Hitler became an authoritarian dictator and of course you know what happens to anyone who opposes a dictator so,the only way open to him was to escape the clutches of the regime by flying to enemy territory but we'll never know for sure.
