    In Germany we have a saying.
    "Back in the day, if we put a basket full of money outside the house, what do you think would be stolen? -- The basket of course, it had value."
    Since people asked; the German Version:
    "Wenn du damals 'nen Korb voller Geld rausgestellt hast, was glaubst du würde geklaut werden?"
    -"Der Korb natürlich, denn der war was wert."

      @@IncredibleMD Not true. The Nazis with support of the other Nationalist parties could form a majority in the Reichstag but the Enabling Act required a 2/3s supermajority to pass. The Left and centre-left leaning pollies in total could have arranged enough votes to block it. Kicking the Commies out and some SPD (109 in total) combined with threats towards the centre-aligned pollies only then made passing of the Enabling Act a forgone conclusion as resistance was futile. Only the remaining members of the SPD (94) voted against it.

      @@oneeyedrichmond I was skeptical of this however looking at it more closely now, you are correct. The Enabling Act needed 67% of the vote to pass, and Hitler won out by a mere 2% of the vote. If the communists and many of the SPD hadn't been essentially purged out of the government, and as well if the Centre Party hadn't been essentially motivated by fear to vote for the act, it 100% would've been blocked. The Centre Party's vote was decisive, and the chairman of the Centre Party pushed his deputies to vote for the bill. His reasonings were due to the "precarious state of the party" and said, "On the one hand we must preserve our soul, but on the other hand a rejection of the Enabling Act would result in unpleasant consequences for fraction and party. What is left is only to guard us against the worst. Were a two-thirds majority not obtained, the government's plans would be carried through by other means. The President has acquiesced in the Enabling Act. From the DNVP no attempt of relieving the situation is to be expected."

    Excellent video, considering time constraints you put a lot of detail into this video. For those interested, some extra info
    1) Hitler wanted to get rid of the SA not because they were the only ones who could take him down by force, but because the SA at that time was out of control and wanted to split away into a more extremist branch of the Nazi party. Hitler realized that if he was to gain support of the industrial elites and the military (who would never accept hitler as chancellor unless he dismantled SA-their terms) he had to carry out the night of the long knives.
    2) Hindenburg appointed hitler as chancellor with the hopes that if hitler was closer to the government, he would work with it not against it (before, the Reichstag couldn't pass any laws because the Nazi party would just get up and leave rendering democracy impossible). But oh was he so wrong....

      The president wasn't especially powerful compared to most countries at the time, and many of the features the president had could be seen in other constitutions today. The French president has very broad discretion to hold snap elections, basically only restricted by having no more than one election per year, not while emergency powers are exercised (although this probably would have forbade elections while Article 48 was in use), and the president must consult with a few other people but who had no veto over the dissolution. The American president has a veto power that can only be overridden by a 2/3 vote in both houses, which is what the Reichspraesident had. The chancellor was appointed unilaterally by the president, as the French prime minister is today, although the Weimar constitution gave the president to dismiss the chancellor unilaterally too, which we don't see as often, though Austria's president does have that power.
      The two round system the Weimar Republic had was meant to give a majority for one candidate although oddly enough there was no legal restriction on a third or further candidate entering the second round, which split the vote in 1925 and 1932 (but for the 1932 election the president got a majority regardless). The seven year term is also not so unusual. France had that up until the 21st century after decades of 7 year terms (without a term limit up until the middle of the 2000s too). Ireland also has a 7 year term, Finland and Austria both have terms of 6 years for their modern presidents.
      The emergency powers were very powerful, although Boris Yeltsin had those powers while Russia was considered arguably a democracy in the 90s up until 2003.
      The Weimar Republic was a good deal more democratic than most, but the details matter when you create new constitutions. There were big failures, most notably the bad emergency powers, the lack of triggers for a snap election, the presidential power to dismiss the chancellor and the lack of need for the Reichstag to explicitly approve of the chancellor, the lack of a nuclear option for what happens if no stable coalition can be formed, parties in their own right not being democratic, the proportional system being a single nationwide closed list, the veto of the president, the lack of involvement of the federal states in the amendment of the constitution and lack of protected rights that an amendment could not repeal. Those are mistakes Germany took very hard lessons from and created big fixes for these problems.

    Correction 2:00: The inflation was not mainly caused by reparations. Why would the allies accept a worthless currency as reparations? The inflation was caused by high internal debt caused by war bonds the government sold to its people in the war, and the excessive hyper inflation was caused by the government paying the wages of the striking workers in the Ruhr area. See Hans Mommsen: "Die verspielte Freiheit. Aufstieg und Untergang der Weimarer Republik" for reference.

    Sorry but the “quick fact” at 7:51 is misleading. The Germans found that they didn’t have enough labour force so they pressured Vichy into imposing the “Service de Travail Obligatoire” (Mandatory Labour Service, my translation), where the targeted French workforce had no other choice but to abide. This law was imposed in 1943 and a lot of French workers refused to go, which saw a dramatic increase in the ranks of the Resistance, namely the Maquisards as they were called because they would hide and operate in the countryside.

    This is one of his earlier videos, so some mistakes expected, but I feel the need to point some of them out.
    1. President Hindenburg making Hitler chancelor was a conspiracy of German conservative nationalists and monarchists like Franz von Papen. The idea was to "tame" Hitler and use him as a puppet of his conservative ministers. In his cabinet there were 11 mnisters, but only two of them were from the NSDAP. Hindenburg was a monarchist himself.
    2. The Recovery of the German economy under the Nazi dictarorship is heavily discussed. The consensus is, that while the Nazis certainly implemented some useful economic programs, a lot of the groundwork was laid by the Weimar Republic in its last years (for instance the "Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahmen", which created more jobs). Also the economy was very unstable, with massive budget deficits that could only be covered up by the "Mefo-Wechsel" devised by Hjalmar Schacht. And even he resigned because he thought Hitler was going to ruin the economy. It was only by plundering the resources of conquered territories, that Germany was able to fight for as long as it did.

      Let me gues your sources are oversimplified, and he's right because it sounds better for you.

      @@MouldMadeMind my sources are the two years in which history was my main subject for my A-levels in Germany. The Nazi regime is understandably a rather important subject, so we dedicated about six months just to this topic. There are of course differing opinions, but the expert's consensus is the one I described in my comment.
      It is one of the few topics, in which I can state facts with reasonable certainty of them being correct.
