      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 .

      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.

    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

      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."

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      There were elements in GB who wanted to ally w/ Germany against the Soviets. The Versailles treaty itself was basically unenforceable without severely destabilizing that part of Europe (keep in mind Germany and Hungary had suffered Bolshevik revolutions of their own after the Great War). For perspective, the Treaty of Sevres w/ the Ottoman Empire was also practically unenforceable and replaced with a new treaty with a new Turkish government a few years later.

      Because it’s pretty widely understood even by people who were enemies of Germany in World War I, that the treaty of Versailles was actually unrealistically harsh on Germany. And also, it’s easy to say all these years later that it all looks so inevitable, but when you’re actually living it, you don’t know that.
