The castle at the centre of Nazi terror - BBC REEL
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2022
- During WW2, German SS leader Heinrich Himmler attempted to turn a Renaissance castle into a headquarters for the Nazis' major paramilitary organisation.
Dubbed the 'Centre of the World' by Himmler and the SS, plans for a vast redesign of Wewelsburg Castle were drawn up. The work was carried out by the prisoners from an on-site concentration camp but not completed.
Today, the castle is a carefully curated museum designed to inform new generations about the castle's history and the horrendous ideology of the SS. It's also a memorial to those who were interred there.

Castle Wolfenstein
@ Mike Fenton
That's funny because
DR WOLFENSTEIN is in the beginning of Rob Zombies' HOUSE OF A THOUSAND CORPSES 🤣, Great movie. One of the best horror flicks ever made!
@@LIZZIE-lizzie I think Devil's Rejects is better, but that's just me.
that's exactly what comes to mind
Mein lieben!
@Mike Fenton This is probably the castle that inspired that game.
i love how himler put up bean bags in his throne rome
It would have been so cool if they had been allowed to film Man in the High Castle scenes here considering Himmler's role in the show, but I bet any proposals would have been met with a massive "HEIL NO" from the German authorities. I literally thought they were about to do yoga in that room for a second lol
Those were actually Goering's colostomy bags.
He liked a relaxed work space
They used the bean bags to cover the black sun symbol. The same symbol the azov battalion uses in Ukraine. The new home of not zee terra.
@@gmw3083 When I visited there on an army organised day out back in 2011, the guide told us that the purpose was to make the room less symbolic, by essentially mocking the belief by adding something somewhat absurd and out of place. He also got very annoyed when I pointed out that the "black sun" was in fact dark green. Incidentally, we were allowed to sit on the bean bags during his talk, encouraged to, in fact and not one of them was covering any part of the symbol.
The beanbags really lighten the place up
By attempting to hide it from view, they inadvertantly made more intriguing and interesting..
I wanna see what they're trying to hide from me.
I lived in Paderborn for 12 years during the 1970s and 1980s and stayed in Wewelsburg Castle on 2 occasions. (It was a Youth Hostel, and probably still is.) None of the Nazi rooms were open to the public at that time. And the museum concentrated on the early history of the castle only, with no mention of the Nazi era at all. How times have changed.
Still a youth hostel
That’s cause they want to keep the occult nature of the SS use of it a secret, for it would change the dynamic of peoples understandings of them and what their underlying purpose was.
@@leoblazer74 sounds fun

Thank you very much for uploading!
In the village below the castle, there is a very picturesque Medieval style restaurant or banqueting hall, where the waitresses wear traditional costumes (at least, that’s how it was in the 80’s when I visited there). It was a venue that was frequented by high ranking German SS Officers associated with Wewelsburg Castle during the war & one of the few places where Swastikas are permitted to remain on display, because they were ornately carved into some of the genuinely historic wooden furniture in this old building… I was told, at the time, by a friend who was then a serving British Army Officer stationed in the area, that the banqueting hall had a large album of wartime photographs taken within its walls, which showed various high ranking SS Officers posing in small groups or with the staff of the restaurant & that, if one asked discreetly, the staff would permit one to view the album - which is exactly what we did & it was quite fascinating to see first hand historical records from the War. One got the distinct impression, however, that - despite the deservedly odious reputation of the SS - the staff & proprietors of that venue were actually quite proud of the fact that their establishment had been so favoured & obviously held in such high regard, by the SS hierarchy during the War…..
Thanks for your fascinating memories. I wonder if they still display swastikas there. The castle was entirely owned by the SS so I doubt there was a retaurant back then, the ss surely dined there but they probably employed their own private cooks. I think the staff is proud of the rich history of the place and felt honored by the interest of foreign visitors, not by the long past favour of those nazi brutes.
Of course...it was an honourable organization that has been wrongly demonized. The victors write the history books.
@@thebrettyouneed178 Hi, I actually live in this village, born and raised in Wewelsburg.... So unfortunately, this Restaurant doesnt exist anymore today..... and you will also have a pretty hard time finding a lot of remarks of These times.... Ofcourse you have the Castle itself with its Museum which is really excelent, but apart from that all thats left is a little memorial, and one small barrack thats currently being Formed into another small museum where the concentration Camp once was situated.... But apart from that all other signs of the history of this place are gone, and the village itself is basically just another normal village in Germany.... Still worth a visit, if you're ever in the area!
@@fummel7985 did they cross out things on purpose?
Funny thing, this westphalian part of Germany is indeed the heartland of Germany, but still the nazis were not that popular in catholic Westphalia. Good ppl there.
They were popular anywhere.
@@ciprianiulian6575 Catholics loved them some Nazis and fascists. Nazis easily played both halves of Germany by pointing to Luther's anti-Semitism on one hand and Catholic conservatism and ritual on the other
@@Awakeningspirit20 actually most catholics voted for the Deutsche Zentrumspartei before the Weimarer Republic fell, but even in Westphalia too many people fell for the stories of Hitler... Erich Maria Remarque wrote his novel The Black Obelisk about living through the 1920th in Osnabrueck, which might give quite an acurate picture of the situation in Westphalia at that time.
You know I could actually imagine Hemler using beanbags for his meetings.
its history, dont hide it, let people learn, otherwise they will forget , dont censor history because it is a messy ordeal, it always has been.
"Nazi center of the world"
Only problem is most nazis werent cultists (unless you count hitlers personality cult). The people belonging to this SS faction were seen as weirdos by the rest of the party and Hitler would have gotten rid of them if they werent so useful.
The actual Nazi center of the world be either munich (birthplace of the movement), nürnberg (city of the movement), berlin (center of germany) or the berghof (Hitlers private residence).
You are right. The Wewelsburg was primarily an obsession of Himmler. Hitler wasn't much interested in it and the place had never been a actual power center of the Nazi leaders.
History is written by the victor , in this case a tribe of international banker's.

I visited the castle in 2013, at the time I was working in Paderborn for the MOD. At the time of my visit there were three coaches of elderly Germans visiting the site. Having enjoyed a couple of hours viewing the interior I found my way to the on-site resturant. In the queue I took a brief phone call from the UK. Having completed the call I could clearly hear the conversation in front of me between three very elderly men. Unknown to them I speak good German. It was evident they were ardent Nazi supporters and possibly ex SS Soldiers, from the some what derogatory remarks about the British and American force’s along with some choice German obscenities.
Not wishing to disclose my knowledge of German I asked the young girl serving if she spoke English (knowing full well most youngsters speak excellent English, often better than young English youth) she very politely dealt with my order. By the time I came to pay she quietly apologised for the derogatory comments made. I thanked her adding we probably have elderly people in the UK who still bare malice and I did not judge Germans by the comments of a few old soldiers. I spoke in German, the look on her face and that of others in the queue was priceless.
That stated, if anyone has the chance to visit this part of Germany it is well worth it. Paderborn is a really nice historic town.

I don't think "Swastika" is a German word. They should use Hakenkruz while showing or describing the symbol.
Bhai it is the Swastika , its like saying train is a vehicle , the Germans didnt know what it was then fully thats why they called it the broken cross or HakenKruz ( also a mockery to the original cross by some SS), but yea its a symbol of prosperity in eastern cultures mr HA just took it and converted it

Liked the clip. Knew about the location of these structures, and why they were there. Wasn't until the later 1800s that there was a Country that was called 'Germany,' maybe? Then Bismark and that crowd? So, from before, it was the Holy Roman Empire, that was made up of smaller, huh, fiefdoms? Much of European history, I've heard, were long-drawn-out echos of the loses of Rome to the local tribes. I'm not sure that those older sets of folks were in fact progenitors of those in Germany. I don't know if anyone knows for sure. A lot of part of Europe might have been seen as almost "city-states," a little like BCE Greece, up until not that long ago. My 2 cents.
Yes, Germany as a national state was finally formed in 1871 after Germany defeated France.
The holy Roman empire existed until Napoleon took over Germany at the beginning of the same century. During french occupation the idea of german nationalism came up, which also lead to that anti-french attitude of germany later.
You have your history stuff right, also with the stuff after the Roman empire, i just wanted to give you some extra context;)

Correction. The symbols have nothing to do with nazi but good people from the past that have been twisted to a new meaning.
So you're suggesting they were already part of the Wevelsburg when it was built and not added by the Nazis later?
@@petraw9792 Most likely added by Nazi. But I think what he meant is the general swastikas symbol used by Nazi had a good meaning before being attributes to the party itself but because of Nazi, it have a twisted meaning. I think this is what he meant.

Why would Himmler admire King Arthur? Arthur was a Briton who fought against the English (Jutes and Angles from Denmark) at some point as they were founding England from 449 CE to about 600 CE. Arthur is hero to the Welsh (Celts), and the enemy of the English (Germanic-Scandinavians). The most Germanic area of the world is the coastal North Sea area, from around Netherlands/Friesland through Denmark up into Norway and over and all through England. Germany itself is not quite as Germanic. The proof is in the DNA map of the Proto-Germanic U106 Y DNA.
I've always had a suspicion.. How could the modern german people descend from the Germanic tribes that conquered most of medieval Europe? The people in modern Germany are descendants of the war shy tribes (not an insult btw!) that stayed behind.. No wonder Hitler was short 😂
People in North Germany are actually a bit taller than people in the south (statistically of course), because of the Limes which was build. But Nazis didn't care for history, they just accepted every fact that made them feel superior, regardless of if it was correct or not.
It took me ages to realise wagners parsifal is percival.
@@puneeth9b they are part of the Germanic tribe just look the countries surrounding Germany and not talking about scandinavia
it was king Henry i heard not Arthur guys😂😂🤣🤣🤣
It wasn't occult, of course, it was symbolism - building your own 'suitable history' out of convenient parts re-written from the real thing. You see it a lot happening now in conspiracy theories, denials, and such but fortunately rarely to the hideous extent that the nazis built up.
The 'Germans', for instance, who defeated the Romans (and by defeat, we mean took down 3 whole legions) in Teuterborg were actually the Celtic Allemani in the cross-border region that the Romans named 'Germania'. They pre-dated both the Goths and the later Saxons who came in from the East, and who we might think of more as 'Germanic'.
(apologies if I've skipped or fudged some details in this précis version. Feel free to correct).
Cute how she tries to cover the esoteric symbols, and just dismiss them as crazy conspiracy... 😂🤦 Well known fact that the highest Nazi ranks were very fond of the occult, to say the least.
That might be but has it "helped" them in the short- or long-term? IMHO it was just a try to somehow put some mysticism over the horrible profanity they were doing...

Humanity need to destroy that.
There wasn't ever a king Henry of the country of Germany because Germany only came into existence in the 19th century. You mean Henry the Fowler the elected Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire after the collapse of the Charlengian empire, which is completely different. These details matter.
Sorry, but not right: The beginnings of "Germany" start with the descendants of Karl d. Gr./Charlemagne who ruled as kings of the "Ostfrankenreich" - later called "Deutschland/Reich der Deutschen" - from about 843 on. There were also several kings of this country with the name Heinrich/Henry over the centuries (some of them even became "Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reichs"/Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, namely after being assigned by the pope in Rome). However, there's still one big mistake in the film: It was not "king Henry" who was the idol of Himmler, but rather "Duke Henry" (="Heinrich der Löwe, Herzog von Sachsen", ca. 1130-1195) - he never became king or Emperor and was just the owner of a large feudal territory within the "Reich", much of it having been conquered by himself from Slavic tribes. Thus representing the main figure of German medieval "Ostkolonisation" and bearing the same given name as Himmler, he became the Reichsführer's historical shining example...
