yeah, shotgun only kills the soldiers in one shot so they're not tasting the pain of hell, not like the poison gas that make the soldiers taste the hell for a while before death, i know both inhumane but the poison is the one that very very inhumane
My Dad (in the UK) helped an old man up some steps when he was a teenager in the 1960s. As they were walking up he said 'Thank you for the help, I struggle with things like this. I was gassed at Passchendaele you see.' He'd been living with the effects of it for over fifty years and it never went away.
I'm so sorry for this man! Did his family survived the war? I sometimes ask myself how my country's scientists could invent that cruel weapons. I mean, if you invent poison gas, you'll probably know what it will be used for. It must have been awful for everyone! How could Haber only sleep knowing that all these people were killed with his inventions?

I saw a documentary about it some time ago. I believe his friend and colleague died doing a chlorine gas lab-accident prier to this. If I remember correctly, was this what opened her eyes to the horrors of what her husband was doing. She had begged him to stop and had even threatened to commit suicide if he didn't. He obviously ignored this. The crazy part is that he truly believed he was saving the world. He was deeply religious (Jewish) and convinced that one mass attack of poisonous gas would prevent a prolonged and brutal war. You know kill a a few thousand to save millions. So he saw himself as some sort of savior on a mission to end the war.
I liked how the music changed when they mentioned the dead men marching again. It definitely put the grotesque image in my head of what it must've looked like to the Germans.
While this episode mainly focused on the Eastern Front, as a proud Canuck, I feel the need to mention the Canadian actions during the first gas attacks. The Canadians were actually the first to deploy anti-gas countermeasures when the Germans attacked St. Julien on April 24 (two days after the first attack). Of course, as they had only just learned that the Germans were using chlorine gas, their solution was... unconventional, to say the least. The soldiers would pee onto a cloth and wrap that around their face to protect themselves (the urine nullified the chlorine). They ended up being pushed back by the Germans, but managed to hold the salient until reinforcements arrived, preventing a massive breakthrough. There is a famous memorial known as "The Brooding Soldier" in St. Julien, commemorating the soldiers who fought and died in that battle. It's considered to be a defining moment in Canadian history, as our troops first showed their courage and tenacity in war, and along the rest of the war, led to the creation of a national identity separate from Great Britain.
@@jacobhayes9992 Canada fought doing the battle of Gallipoli too, or the Newfoundland Regiment did to be more precise. They landed just North of the ANZAC forces and was actually the some of the first to link up with the ANZAC's. However they are more known for their important role doing the evacuation, as they was chosen to make up a vital part of the rearguard. Sadly most people seams to forget about the French and the Canadians doing the battle of Gallipoli.
this really is the one song from the "Great War" album that gives me the chills more than anything else. Just the image of a hundred men marching, throwing up blood and coughing out their lungs, knowing they probably won't survive the day anyway, with nothing to lose and only revenge on their mind gives me nightmares. If I was one of the German soldiers on that day, I'd have shit my pants, turned around and made a run straight back to Berlin without looking back.
And probably get trampled by your other comrades doing the exact same thing. That had to be the most terrifying moment for a German soldier to come across.
My Great Great Uncle in 1918 in the AEF survived mustard gas without his mask it was dissipating so it was still in low areas and he jumped in a crater to take cover he smelled it and instantly got out of their he survived but with permanent lung issues.
Along side the British 15th brigade were Canadians who helped majorly in fighting off the Germans. When the gas first hit, a high school chemistry teacher who was volunteering in the Canadian-British ranks told the other men that if they wanted to live, they needed to urinate on a rag or sock and breathe through it to neutralize the chlorine. This event is very important to the Canadian spirit, and has for better or worse given us the “piss sock” meme
And of course, even with treaty bans on chemical weapons, it didn't stop. NATO and the Warsaw Pact both had chemical and biological weapons programs, the US used a lot of chemical "defoliants" in Vietnam like Agent Orange that injured a lot of our own soldiers (the idea was to kill the forest so Vietcong and NVA forces could be seen from above, but it was toxic to humans, too), Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons both in the Iran-Iraq War and against the rebellion during the Gulf War, and then most recently the use of sarin and chlorine by Bashar al-Assad against rebels in Syria.
When it comes to rules. Agent oranges main purpus wasn´t to kill pepole. I don´t think they know how dangerous it was. but then their is those who didn´t care.
I know you will hate me for telling the truth, but neither Saddam Hussein nor Assad ever owned or used any mass destruction weapons, but their worst crimes were to be incompatible to the USA´s world domination plans.

Last Friday I held a lesson for confirmation school and I wore a Sabaton hoodie. Those young boys went crazy, but one of them said - You're a pastor! With a Sabaton hoodie! These things don't match! - How come? - Well... They sing about war and killing - And that's history, right? *Complete silence and my face saying "Damn right"*
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas-shells dropping softly behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!-An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.- Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,- My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. A beautiful poem and a powerful reminder
seriously, gas warfare fill me with such a feel of dread to even think about it, but i can't stop learning more of it. It such a macabre and twisted way to wage war and to think what made humans go to this level cruelty to one another is truly scary... ''attack of the dead men'' is one of the song that really portray that horror, and the courage of the ''dead men'' who withstanded it
That moment when you're a German soldier in World War 1 and you hear the gas start playing Attack of the dead men and see Shadows creep through the gas speaking Russian Happy Thanksgiving Sabaton and all of you watching this video
Jesus! I was born on 19th of April and Adolf Hitler born on 20th of April and Vladimir Iljics Lenin was born April 22 and Manfred von Richthofen has died on the 21st of April.

My great great grandpa was a French artillery officer and survived a gas attack in Suippe near the Champagne salient. He was later killed by the SS during the occupation
My great grand father fought in the trenches in the battle of the Somme, he saw some of the first tanks. He told me that they were shocked by those noisy monsters... but only a few moments. After he was a witness of a gas attack on a french position, the tanks were easy stuff to deal with... but to see british and french soldiers coughing blood and parts of their loungs, this, he said, caused the worst nightmares, even after he has to fight in the ardenne offensive in WW II. I‘m serving in the german navy, we have to train procedures against gas and nuclear fallout... but the best protection would be that all the leaders in the world would listen to this song and ask themselves : do I want to be responsible for this? My choice for a better world: some beer and noch ein Bier and more Sabaton songs. Thanks guys for remembering all the soldiers out there.
Huh. Wouldn't have guessed I had started my time at basic training on the date infamous for a big chemical gas attack 93 years prior. Glad y'all make these episodes.
My Gruncle has tons of weird bruising from his small exposure to Agent orange from the Vietnam war. I know it’s not a gas but it’s still a side effect of chemicals being used in warfare. A terrifying thing
I remember a story told during high school about a Canadian officer - I think he was a Lieutenant, but I could be wrong - being there at Ypres and seeing the gas coming towards them. He was a chemist before the war and was thus familiar with the appearance of chlorine gas and furthermore that it was possible to counteract its effects with urea (the main component in urine other than water). He passed word to his men and up and down the line for them to urinate on their handkerchiefs and wrap them around their faces. I can find reference now to the fact that the Canadians used urine soaked handkerchiefs as gas masks, which is what enabled them to hold in the ensuing attack, but nothing beyond the fact that such an order was given. Obviously it was far from an ideal solution - it's still horrendously unpleasant, you still have to worry about the gas's effects on the eyes, and anyone who couldn't literally piss on command was completely exposed - but it's one hell of a lot better than nothing.
Pär's beard seems to be getting more glorious with each video. Love the music, love the channel. You guys better come to Australia when all this craziness over.
Ah (gas, gas, gas) Ah Do you like my car? Guess you're ready 'cause I'm waiting for you It's gonna be so exciting Got this feeling really deep in my soul Let's get out, I wanna go, come along, get it on Gonna take my car, gonna sit in Gonna drive along 'til I get you 'Cause I'm crazy, hot and ready, but you like it I wanna race for you (Shall I go now?) Gas, gas, gas I'm gonna step on the gas Tonight, I'll fly (and be your lover) Yeah, yeah, yeah I'll be so quick as a flash And I'll be your hero Gas, gas, gas I'm gonna run as a flash Tonight, I'll fight (to be the winner) Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm gonna step on the gas And you'll see the big show Don't be lazy 'cause I'm burning for you It's like a hot sensation Got this power that is taking me out Yes, I've got a crush…
It's worth noting that in the military, the command "Gas! Gas! Gas!" means there's a gas hazard and you have 9 seconds to don your mask, hence the title. Or it could be a play on the song idk
My great-grandfather was affected by gas while a soldier in the Great War; he returned home but died middle-aged. His name was Martin Sharapa; he was from the area which was the Russian empire, then Poland, then the Soviet Union and now Belarus. Thank you for making people remember, understand and respect!
No. Hospitals are for emergencies, surgeries and things that require long treatments. For smaller stuff, like non-lethal cuts, minor diseases, blood tests, etc. you can go to a local clinic.
One of the most scariest things to ever happen in my lifetime was sitting in Kuwait before attacking Iraq in 2003 was the scud missiles being shot down... and the possibility of them having gas warheads.. so every time they were shot down, we heard " Gas...Gas... Gas..." getting into full MOPP gear either just while walking down the street, or out of a full sleep... Ive been shot at, IED'ed, Mortared and in a tank battle... and GAS still scared the HELL outta me..
Before I joined the Army my dad had always told me stories of the fear of gas scuds.. I had a full blown panic attack when I went to the gas chamber in basic and realized my fears were not only real but just the feeling of cs gas made me feel like anything worse would be the end of me.
@@lozfan001 in the Marines, our NBC guy cooked off 3 more CS capsules than usual and had us doing calisthenics in the gas chamber to get our breathing and heart rates up as well as making us sweat a lot in there. That was pretty bad and there's nothing anyone could do about it cuz he reported directly to the Company CO (who happened to be a Lt Col because of units mission).
I was on the border during that attack and still remember the horns being honked all around the little outpost we created. MOPP sucked wearing as we drove across the border and into Iraq.
Honestly, i'm from ypres, i can fully confirm the part about ypres being true, the scars of war have never left, even if the entire city has been reconstructed. The memories still remain... the last post is always being played today at exactly 20:00 (aka 8pm) even in this crisis. And never has been stopped except for the occupation in ww2 Edit: The mustard gas has a second name known as Yprite as a reference to this attack
My great grandpa died of mustard gas exposure in 1932 after being on the western front in 1918. So many stories from my grandfather and great uncle of how he would have coughing fits, be winded easily and even not be able to breathe at all at times.
What I love about the live show version of the song (other than the song and the performance itself) is that you can tell the exact moment the audience realizes it's Radio Tapok. There's suddenly this second, louder cheer, and I just find that quite nice.
Happy Thanksgiving to Sabaton and Indy I've seen every single episode. this channel is awesome it puts together two of my favorite things military history and heavy metal music it don't get any better than that🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
*15:50 Some of you who speak wide spread languages like English, Spanish, Portugese or to a lesser extent French, I don't think you can comprehend how absolutely mind boggeling it is to hear your favorite songs in your native tongue. This crowd must have been on absolute fire.
Correct, they were also one of the most decorated units in the german army, and they viewed ww2 as a continuation of the spanish civil war. The whole story of why the unit was formed and how they fought is very interesting
I was hoping we were gonna get some coverage on Sub Lieutenant Vladimir Karpovich Kotlinsky, but this is good too! You guys are great and are the best kickstart to my mornings!
My great-grandfather was at Ypres and was gassed, but I don't know which battle he was at. Will have to ask my grandfather. I'm guessing it can't have been chlorine gas, seems unlikely for a person to survive that. He died of lung cancer in 1940.
With regards to Fritz Haber, one of my history teachers back in the day (must've been at some point during the early 2000s if memory serves) emphasized something to drive home to us just how important chemical warfare was being regarded as by the German Empire: he was promoted to Hauptmann (captain) for his contributions to chemical warfare despite being a Jew. One didn't simply get promoted to captain in the Imperial German army if one was a Jew. Now let me backtrack a bit. I am well aware this is a loaded statement. However, we have to look at that fact the way people looked at it in the early 1900s. Antisemitism was rampant across Europe. Germany certainly didn't invent it out of the blue in 1933, the Nazis instrumentalized it for their own purposes. The Dreyfus affair is just one example of institutional antisemitism that occurred during those times, and it took place in France (J'Accuse...!). And yet despite that...let's call it "perceived societal disadvantage", he was promoted to what was then an exceptional rank for a Jew in the Imperial German army, and made the head of the Chemical Section of the German Ministry of War.

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!-An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.-
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,-
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est

After he was a witness of a gas attack on a french position, the tanks were easy stuff to deal with... but to see british and french soldiers coughing blood and parts of their loungs, this, he said, caused the worst nightmares, even after he has to fight in the ardenne offensive in WW II.
I‘m serving in the german navy, we have to train procedures against gas and nuclear fallout... but the best protection would be that all the leaders in the world would listen to this song and ask themselves : do I want to be responsible for this?
My choice for a better world: some beer and noch ein Bier and more Sabaton songs.
Thanks guys for remembering all the soldiers out there.
Huh. Wouldn't have guessed I had started my time at basic training on the date infamous for a big chemical gas attack 93 years prior. Glad y'all make these episodes.
My Gruncle has tons of weird bruising from his small exposure to Agent orange from the Vietnam war. I know it’s not a gas but it’s still a side effect of chemicals being used in warfare. A terrifying thing
Was possibly kaposis sarcoma - if the bruising was odd and a purplish colour - AO and some of the other defoliants are extremely carcinogenic
I don't know why, but when i read the title in my head "Gas! Gas! Gas!" sounded not like in the song, but like a soldier's battlecry
I remember a story told during high school about a Canadian officer - I think he was a Lieutenant, but I could be wrong - being there at Ypres and seeing the gas coming towards them. He was a chemist before the war and was thus familiar with the appearance of chlorine gas and furthermore that it was possible to counteract its effects with urea (the main component in urine other than water). He passed word to his men and up and down the line for them to urinate on their handkerchiefs and wrap them around their faces.
I can find reference now to the fact that the Canadians used urine soaked handkerchiefs as gas masks, which is what enabled them to hold in the ensuing attack, but nothing beyond the fact that such an order was given. Obviously it was far from an ideal solution - it's still horrendously unpleasant, you still have to worry about the gas's effects on the eyes, and anyone who couldn't literally piss on command was completely exposed - but it's one hell of a lot better than nothing.
Indy, I wanna buy your lamp with the helmet on top. Name your price.
I think Joe Rogan bought his for 150 on a website.
Pär's beard seems to be getting more glorious with each video. Love the music, love the channel. You guys better come to Australia when all this craziness over.
Ah (gas, gas, gas)
Ah
Do you like my car?
Guess you're ready 'cause I'm waiting for you
It's gonna be so exciting
Got this feeling really deep in my soul
Let's get out, I wanna go, come along, get it on
Gonna take my car, gonna sit in
Gonna drive along 'til I get you
'Cause I'm crazy, hot and ready, but you like it
I wanna race for you (Shall I go now?)
Gas, gas, gas
I'm gonna step on the gas
Tonight, I'll fly (and be your lover)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll be so quick as a flash
And I'll be your hero
Gas, gas, gas
I'm gonna run as a flash
Tonight, I'll fight (to be the winner)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna step on the gas
And you'll see the big show
Don't be lazy 'cause I'm burning for you
It's like a hot sensation
Got this power that is taking me out
Yes, I've got a crush…
It's worth noting that in the military, the command "Gas! Gas! Gas!" means there's a gas hazard and you have 9 seconds to don your mask, hence the title. Or it could be a play on the song idk
Same for the U.S. military
My great uncle, who lived until 1986, could not extend the fingers of his hands straight out because of gas exposure on the western front.
My great-grandfather was affected by gas while a soldier in the Great War; he returned home but died middle-aged. His name was Martin Sharapa; he was from the area which was the Russian empire, then Poland, then the Soviet Union and now Belarus. Thank you for making people remember, understand and respect!
Great Indy intro, and one of my favorite Sabaton songs
Zombi Indy isn´t real he can´t hurt you
7:11 why I dont hear The Attack of the Dead Men but I hear Father? :D
sometimes when youve got nothing left to lose, youve got nothing left to stop you from winning.
*During the interview with Par, I noticed that Indy's left hand was bandaged.*
Nice video. Can't wait to see the part two of Smoking Snakes, since we brazilians are a very proud people. :)
"District nurse" is that like an emergency hospital?🤔🤷♂️
Pretty much.. I guess in Sweden you can go to a nurse if you don’t necessarily have to go to a hospital
No. Hospitals are for emergencies, surgeries and things that require long treatments. For smaller stuff, like non-lethal cuts, minor diseases, blood tests, etc. you can go to a local clinic.
One of the most scariest things to ever happen in my lifetime was sitting in Kuwait before attacking Iraq in 2003 was the scud missiles being shot down... and the possibility of them having gas warheads.. so every time they were shot down, we heard " Gas...Gas... Gas..." getting into full MOPP gear either just while walking down the street, or out of a full sleep... Ive been shot at, IED'ed, Mortared and in a tank battle... and GAS still scared the HELL outta me..
Thank you for your service. Asphyxiation is one of my biggest phobias.
Before I joined the Army my dad had always told me stories of the fear of gas scuds.. I had a full blown panic attack when I went to the gas chamber in basic and realized my fears were not only real but just the feeling of cs gas made me feel like anything worse would be the end of me.
@@lozfan001 in the Marines, our NBC guy cooked off 3 more CS capsules than usual and had us doing calisthenics in the gas chamber to get our breathing and heart rates up as well as making us sweat a lot in there. That was pretty bad and there's nothing anyone could do about it cuz he reported directly to the Company CO (who happened to be a Lt Col because of units mission).
I was on the border during that attack and still remember the horns being honked all around the little outpost we created. MOPP sucked wearing as we drove across the border and into Iraq.
Anyone else laugh when Par’s voice went up an octave when Indy made his zombie entrance?
Honestly, i'm from ypres, i can fully confirm the part about ypres being true, the scars of war have never left, even if the entire city has been reconstructed. The memories still remain... the last post is always being played today at exactly 20:00 (aka 8pm) even in this crisis. And never has been stopped except for the occupation in ww2
Edit: The mustard gas has a second name known as Yprite as a reference to this attack
My great grandpa died of mustard gas exposure in 1932 after being on the western front in 1918. So many stories from my grandfather and great uncle of how he would have coughing fits, be winded easily and even not be able to breathe at all at times.
The guy holding the Soviet flag is in the wrong time gotta wait a few years man
Fritz haber seems cool, sabaton should make a song about him
funny that you used the painting of CANADIANs by Richard Jack to describe the British during the 2nd Battle of Ypres
I can’t be the only one who thought Initial D when I saw “Gas Gas Gas”, right?
I feel like when indy talks about world war 1 he thinks ah my old friend
What I love about the live show version of the song (other than the song and the performance itself) is that you can tell the exact moment the audience realizes it's Radio Tapok. There's suddenly this second, louder cheer, and I just find that quite nice.
Happy Thanksgiving to Sabaton and Indy I've seen every single episode. this channel is awesome it puts together two of my favorite things military history and heavy metal music it don't get any better than that🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Best History Channel
Almost 2 years later Sabaton released a song about Haber himself.
*15:50
Some of you who speak wide spread languages like English, Spanish, Portugese or to a lesser extent French, I don't think you can comprehend how absolutely mind boggeling it is to hear your favorite songs in your native tongue. This crowd must have been on absolute fire.
Sabaton has always helped me during the social studies class.
Happy thanksgiving to Indy and sabaton have a safe and healthy holiday
Indy, survivor of the Great Dish war. Get well soon! ;)
I'm gonna step on the gas
Tonight I'll fly and be your lover
Yeah yeah yeah
I'll be so quick as a flash
And I'll be your hero
At the end it's also worth mentioning Italys use of chemical weapons on the Abbi/Ethiopian front in the 30ds.
The collab with Papa Tapok is pure awesomeness!
Btw, indy what happened to your hand?
ahh explosion, OOF
I love my ancestors from Russia haha,
Thank you Indy and Sabaton for making me smile in this weekend :)
17:24 "I had a little fishing accident on R&R."
I would like to know if yall could cover the spanish blue division.
Oh, I've heard of those guys. They fought for the Axis during WW2, right?
@@sarpbakrsoy8125 Spanish Volunteer group fighting for the Germans in the Eastern Front
Correct, they were also one of the most decorated units in the german army, and they viewed ww2 as a continuation of the spanish civil war. The whole story of why the unit was formed and how they fought is very interesting
Классно! Этот видос - подарок на днюху xD день назад 20 стукнуло. Sabaton cool forever!
Attack of the wine glasses
speaking of "atack of the dead men". the infografic show maded a video about the Osoviec atack and you guys are mentioned to
Well if Corona virus not a problems i will visit Osowiec fortress
the perfect youtube channel doesn't exis..
13:27 Tjacklegend
Idk why but I cant unsee Indy as a young Michael Cain
i seen this and checked it out the band is good this was awesome to hear
I was hoping we were gonna get some coverage on Sub Lieutenant Vladimir Karpovich Kotlinsky, but this is good too! You guys are great and are the best kickstart to my mornings!
When you do one of these Part 2 videos, could you please put a link to Part 1 in the description, just to make it easier? Thanks. :-)
Good idea, thanks
@@SabatonHistory You're welcome! And thank you for doing these, they're amazing.
Thanks for appreciating it
I feel like this became my favorite Sabaton song
Also happy Thanksgiving Indy!
My great-grandfather was at Ypres and was gassed, but I don't know which battle he was at. Will have to ask my grandfather. I'm guessing it can't have been chlorine gas, seems unlikely for a person to survive that. He died of lung cancer in 1940.
I know absolutely no Russian, but I adore Radio Tapok's Sabaton covers!
i was just listening to attack of the dead men and then this video came out
Thank god for pressurized crew compartments. Loading tank rounds in full mopp gear was one of the most annoying parts in training.
sabaton; attack of the dead men.
indie; drinking binge of the dead men.
fans; listening binge of the dead men.
With regards to Fritz Haber, one of my history teachers back in the day (must've been at some point during the early 2000s if memory serves) emphasized something to drive home to us just how important chemical warfare was being regarded as by the German Empire: he was promoted to Hauptmann (captain) for his contributions to chemical warfare despite being a Jew.
One didn't simply get promoted to captain in the Imperial German army if one was a Jew.
Now let me backtrack a bit. I am well aware this is a loaded statement.
However, we have to look at that fact the way people looked at it in the early 1900s. Antisemitism was rampant across Europe. Germany certainly didn't invent it out of the blue in 1933, the Nazis instrumentalized it for their own purposes.
The Dreyfus affair is just one example of institutional antisemitism that occurred during those times, and it took place in France (J'Accuse...!).
And yet despite that...let's call it "perceived societal disadvantage", he was promoted to what was then an exceptional rank for a Jew in the Imperial German army, and made the head of the Chemical Section of the German Ministry of War.
Good video history rocks
The 100th episode is, if all goes well, and hopefully it does, in one month. Any plans?
Edit: Yooooooooo, it's on December 31st.
Me: *sees title*
