Funfact: It is said here that the british named the SMS Kaiser Wilhelm "the Kaisers Willy". Stuff like that (and the fear or failure) were the reasons why Hitler refused to have a weapon (system) named after himself.
@@bh5817 I'd say it is a fact. The "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler" is named not after Hitler, but for Hitler: "Leibstandarte", in the romanticized german the nazis used, means "Personal Guard Regiment" or "Personal Regiment" (A Standarte is actually the battlefield banner of a regiment, but in the political organisations of the nationalsocialists, it means regiment.) So the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler is the "Personal Guard Regiment of the SS (for the protection) of Adolf Hitler".
@@bh5817 I do not think so. If we had a hypothetical Hitler Tank, akin to the british Churchill or the Soviet IS tanks, it would be directly named after hitler, same with a hitler ship or hitler gun or hitler airplane. The Leibstandarte has Hitler in it's name not because it is named after Hitler, but because (Ere it was a front line division) was literally Hitlers personal guard.
I have heard it said that Hitler wanted the new German airship that was launched in 1936 to be named after him. Its designer Hugo Eckener, who made little secret of his opposition to Nazism, insisted upon calling it the "Hindenburg". Because Hindenburg was officially regarded by the Nazis as a German hero they could not oppose this, but Eckener knew well that on a personal level Hitler had loathed his predecessor as German leader. When the Hindenburg burst into flames in 1937, however, Hitler was very relieved that it had not borne his name.
I think the Naval Aspect of Kaiserreich is its most underrated aspect of its lore. While historically the UK stopped such a thing from happening, Germany's new global dominance was unstable at best, meaning unlike the UK there was no way for them to attempt any sort of naval treaty. As a result, most nations in Europe have relatively large navies, and this also leads to economic issues globally as surprise surprise, battleships are expensive, it wouldn't surprise me if the great depression is actually worse as a result.
The quality and the way the documentary played really reminded me of those WWII doc I used to watch on Discovery Channel, esp WWII In Colour, albeit this one is not in color but it has the same style, the narration, the song.. Inspired from it probably? Anyway, Thank you for making this, I think you have done a wonderful and amazing work, I hope more people would watch it, and keep up the good work 😉
This was extraordinarily interesting with the documentary level professionalism and style going along with and creating a feel of realism. Much better than other videos of the same topic that I have seen.
I recently downloaded both the great war and Kaiserreich mods. They're both very fun (although I find it kinda weird that Hitler can take power in 1914 if you stage a fascist coup)
These are a work of art. Reminds me of a mix of WWII in Color and the older Story of WWII when some of the big shots were still alive like Speer to be interviewed.
You have gained another subscriber, i really liked the project keep the good work up, James. On a side node i would appreciate an Ottoman Empire episode, maybe in a future episode it can be done?
This documentary series was good as the documentary series made by the Kaiserreich team. I like it. I can’t wait to see the Union of Britain, Austro Hungarian Empire and the 2nd US Civil war. :)
Thank you for this! I watched this documentary that Dr Ludwig posted on his channel and it's very interesting. I immediately subscribed to your channel. I'll watch the other episodes and especially the Commune de France.
Long live his imperial majesty Kaiser Georg Friedrich von Hohenzollern und Kaiser Karl von Habsburg of the German empire!!! (I'm in favour of a parliamentary constitutional diarchy between the Hohenzollern und Habsburg)
@@JD-Media I already made a few maps with other apps but they are not nearly as detailed, so I am curious how it will turn out. Thanks again and looking forward to your next installment of Kaiserreich!
yes its lore from a hearts of iron 4 (basically ww2 in a game) mod where the us never got involved in WW1 or as they call it bcs Germany won, the weltkrieg. It's called Kaiserreich. Here's The wiki if you want: kaiserreich.fandom.com/wiki/The_Kaiserreich_Wiki
I feel like I'm weird when it comes to alternate history and start wondering what happens to the German generals of OTL WW2 like Rommel, Guderian and Von Manstien because by the end of the 1st Weltkrieg Rommel would be a 1st Lieutenant and Guderian would be a Captain. Also i kinda got giddy about the prospect of the German war flims for this world
All of whom have lesser roles in this world, Rommel is stationed in German East Asia where he has more opportunity to advance, Guderian is serving in the puppet state of Poland and Manstein is a newcomer in the German General Staff.
@@traviskopplinger3515 He does survive the war as the German Spring offensive doesn't occur. The Baron does initially retire but remains a celebrity and is eventually appointed as Marshal of the Air Force for propaganda reasons before WW2 breaks out.
If France had lost the war its unlike she kept all her territory in Europe and Germany take only tiny Luxemburg. At least a victorious Reich would have annexed all of Lorraine and the strategic city of Belfort. Moreover, Calais and Dunkirk would have become German naval bases.
Great work... But, it ignores a lot of real history. Like Poznan uprising, poles were far from loyal to Germany, also nationalist uprisings in Austria- Hungary ignored, and the fact that the Whites never were a unified power, it was mix of very different powers, ex-tsar generals, Cossacks, liberals, ex- SR members...
