Hello from Melbourne (Australia) We are a group of Seniors who learn WW2 history in a U3A (University of the third Age). Recently we have discovered your productions on TH-cam. Our weekly classes now include your presentation, which are totally amazing, the quality and also the music that accompanies the images. You are doing a fantastic work! Thanks for sharing!
If you would like the real history of Germany ww2 best is to get an elder that lived threw it , so many lies and propaganda. The victories write the fake history. I’m German and know what really happened.
Excellent. The photos are choice. The many geographies lend scope. The extend of the damage is beyond belief. The music is absolutely compelling and brilliant. The aircraft photos and their motion pictures captured my attention too. Congratulations to the video editor. Very well done!
Stunning video...very very well done...you really made an effort to make the photos accurate angle-wise and perspective-wise...the superimposed ones were superb...really gave a feel to how the place has changed..please make more videos like this...the music was equally well-fitting and suspense filled...
the guy couldn't have picked up a better place for his retreat, it's surroundings are majestic and romantically inspired, it is too bad that he was so heartless. I love the background music. very well done guys.
Excellent.I was there in April last year specifically to do the Third Reich tour.Was fascinating also went to Dachau.I really enjoyed my five day trip which also Incorporated a trip to Nurnburg.Thanks once again for another brilliant documentary-alles serhr gut
I love these videos. They are my number one favorite videos Ruiter Productions is my favorite channel but I love this type of video from just about anybody.
So much brutality, death,evil, in the camps. So many Germans turned away from goodness, and kindness. The buildings were not worth one life taken in the death camps.
Hi-Fidude66 Because Hitler socialized everything. They paid an incredibly high tax rate. People were employed but their standard of living was lower than today. Plus T that time it was a largely agricultural country. What the gov didn't give you. You could grow it your self.
@@toughgirl6837 You are complete liar, on "every post" you keep spreading your lies and "Liking" your own comments. they had the "Lowest tax rate in the (World) In their time" it's a historical fact.. try going by facts for once? I am being "light" with you..please enlighten me and ill slam you with the facts..and not with just some cbs, cnn BS..I actually take the time to research. Looking forward to your "Knowledgeable' reply

hey...only reason germany survived...AMERICANS//FOOD/AIRLIFTS..OTHERWISE RUSSIA WAS JUST GOING TO STARVE EM. AN WAS DOING SO WHEN THE AMERICANS STEPPED IN..
That is not "blackened soot". Just the old bricks and stone. That was done throughout Germany. They saved and used all the original materials to return the buildings to there original look. Go to 5:40 and you see an original piece of the building standing in front as a monument. In Bremen, Germany there is an old church with a room in the basement with pieces of the original church that size that they use for repairs on the church when needed. The church was the only building left standing in Bremen after it was bombed.
@@ninkbscott fool Stalin killed way more innocent people then Hitler. they also went into Poland week after Germany. we gave eastern Europe to Stalin thats insane,how did that work out? you must read 5th grade history books
Good work. Thank you for this before/after and after/before picture presentation. It is good evidence of Allied crimes of undisciplined and unnecessary destruction of innocent civilian lives, historic cities, economic vitality, and environmental health.
It seems as though Speer was an excellent Architect. Interesting, can the Luftwaffe Ministry still be toured? Although some will naturally attach my admiration of Speer's brilliance to some political end; his genius as an engineers is quite remarkable.
What's sad, from an architectural standpoint, is that the Berghof was less than 10 years old when it was destroyed. Regardless of its occupant, it was a beautiful house.
I would like to get up close to the Reichstag and see whether they replaced the damaged façade with patches or new sections , either way it would of been a huge job , but the Huns would of done a quality job on their famous parliament and good to see it still functioning in the manner it was intended .
How ironic that a Bosch commercial came up during the Video. Bosch was part of I.G. Farben. Most of the companies that built the 3rd Reich are still in business today.
Its amazing how you were able to stitch together some modern and historical footage "on the fly" as it were. By that I mean some shots the camera is just being held free hand yet it matches with older footage seamlessly, that's not an easy thing to do without a tripod and much trial and error of where to locate the camera to frame the shot plus angles etc.
So many people of the USA and GB complain the distruktion of the Berghof...Don`t show us pictures of the past - come on an rebuilt the old house of your main enemy! That would be more honest!
So good to see Germany's historic structures have been rebuilt.But many have not & it's such a waste.And the Dresden bombing was a war crime as far as i'm concerned.
Peter Turner Like what the Germans did to London was okay. How they destroyed Warsaw was okay. They were the aggressors. So I feel they brought this upon themselves after they enslaved, murdered, and destroyed many large cities and small.
Peter Turner you people make it sound one sided what about Germany bombing London,France,Holland,Poland,Belgium, launching V1 & V2 rockets against civilians?
They were lucky Berlin wasn’t wiped from the maps of Europe. The Allies had every right to bomb Dresden. Did the Axis care when they bombed centuries old churches and edifice during their carpet bombing? Very good photography. Excellent use of juxtaposition between now and then.
The controversy of bombing Dresden is it happened near the end of the war and the end being inevitable was clear to all. The city held little strategic or military significance. It was a city bursting with civilian refugees who'd fled other bombed cities and areas the east the Soviets had over run. Even Churchill would change his views on bombing cities after what happened in Dresden. A lot of history was lost because of the Nazi regime. Was it really necessary to destroy more of it when the end was in sight? Oddly in Berlin most of the old architecture in the city can be found in what was the former East Berlin. The West just tore most damaged buildings down and quickly rebuilt. Usually rather bland and ugly 50s/60s styles. The communists didn't have the money to do similar so repaired and rebuilt the old buildings where possible. After reunification, a lot of those old buildings weren't in the best shape and a lot of Berliners didn't want to live in them, they wanted to live in modern new buildings. Today most of the old buildings have been renovated and are the most sought after buildings to live in. Besides their classic beauty it's also their high ceilings and large rooms.
I am a Chinese. We all know that Germany has colonies in Qingdao. I thought that Germany has a large number of colonies in the world. It was not until later that I found out that Germany had no colonies. It was precisely because Germany rose late and its colonies were robbed by Britain and France. Germany was unwilling to launch several world wars in succession and knew that they had been thoroughly fought. Defeat, the Germans are excellent, look forward to your rise again!
Partially correct. Germany had a few colonies in Africa and parts of Asia/Pacific. Lost them all after WWI. Namibia, a former colony, has in recent years raised the issue of how Germany treated the people there, operating the first concentration camp of the 20th century. Germany is only now beginning to acknowledge the horrific ways it treated native peoples.
At the 50 second point this is the second pic take because in the first pic take the guy holding the flag has about 6 or 7 watches on his left arm. That did not look good and the Russians made a second take. I Know because i have seen the original first take and the Russian soldier had several watches on his left arm. I suppose the Russian in charge though it was not good propaganda people seeing that many watches on the soldiers arm.
It was a Monument to the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. A war of FRENCH Aggression... That's probably why the French wanted to blow it up but the Brits didn't allow it.
The eagles nest is something to behold. The view is amazing, it's beautiful up there.
Al H That's the thing about socialism and all it's pretend equality. The leaders always live in luxury.
Its pretty impressive how you can see Salzburg up there, I'll always remember that few. The building not as impressive
@Michael VR But everyone is not equal. At least here, you have the chance to make your life what you want of it.
Yes it really is. Man oh man its so nice
Thank you

All because of the madness of one man and the servile gullibility of an entire nation.
john mcdonald Ought to be a lesson to everybody, but many just still don't get it.
john mcdonald nope, all because of England.
When I went to Nuremberg the kids were skateboarding on the famous stadium.
Well done . I like those then and now photos .
So much brutality, death,evil, in the camps. So many Germans turned away from goodness, and kindness. The buildings were not worth one life taken in the death camps.
Stunning video and magnificent music

Just extraordinary that Europe ever recovered.
Looking at how Europe is today - has it really recovered?
Europe is on her deathbed

In spite of the billions the US spent to rebuild it.
interesting how the blackened soot was allowed to partially remain on some of the reconstructed buildings in Dresden
That is not "blackened soot". Just the old bricks and stone. That was done throughout Germany. They saved and used all the original materials to return the buildings to there original look. Go to 5:40 and you see an original piece of the building standing in front as a monument.

In fairness, the before and and after presentation was quite marvelous
thanks for the tour.

Amazing work, can't understand that part two, even better, has so few views!
Magnificent production
Impressive footage 👏👏👏

Timotheus157 Total BS. Take a look at London, bombed every night, thousands killed --- for unbridled aggression and greed.

The Luftwaffe Ministry is now the Finance Ministry if I'm not mistaken = TAX COLLECTORS.
Good way to show what was and what is
Fantastic vid, thanks
5.33 is amazing. There was nothing left of it.
What's sad, from an architectural standpoint, is that the Berghof was less than 10 years old when it was destroyed. Regardless of its occupant, it was a beautiful house.
No shortage of beautiful homes around there and the Alps. It was not a loss to have it erased from the face of the Earth.
Thank you! Great history!
What's the name of the song at the beginning should I say starting around 1min mark? Thanks
Great video. And great music. Who is the composer?
Wie heißt der erste Song?
how many times do you have to show this? even churchil would wonder why.
I would like to get up close to the Reichstag and see whether they replaced the damaged façade with patches or new sections , either way it would of been a huge job , but the Huns would of done a quality job on their famous parliament and good to see it still functioning in the manner it was intended .
It's covered in patches, Inside in places can still see the graffiti Soviet soldiers wrote on the walls.
Great video
Awesome video!

Ah, the joys of Adobe Photoshop and After Effects. It still needs the human Mark-1 eyeball to match the pictures to do this. Well done.
Very cool where you overlaid historic pictures and videos over current day places.
Extremely Well Done!
I don’t know about you but I liked it better when it was in ruins.
Amazing Work. This movie ar good.

well done.

The music is wrong for this.

Would have been nice if some of those places named in German were translated
Learn to speak German. I did.

6:57 to 7:16 is kinda badass
This is a nice effort, but it is easier to analyze "then to now" instead of the other way around. And the music....oh please make it stop.
Since the beginning of today I have got for no particular reason I can see, 4 different videos about Nazi Architecture.... I am at a loss.
...they wanted "total war"and we sure as hell gave them what they wanted..NO TEARS HERE!!!...….
Kongreßhalle is not a ruin tho nice video

There should be cameras around and he graffiti idiots should be arrested.
The music ruins everything.
Wunderbaren Berlín Deuchtland!
This might seem a presumption, but I don’t think those buildings are beautiful. The graffiti only adds to their taint.
With that Huge Monument to Prussian / Nazi Military Agression, still standing .( Add the Victory Column) NO---not enough destruction, as you call it.
It was a Monument to the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. A war of FRENCH Aggression... That's probably why the French wanted to blow it up but the Brits didn't allow it.
Great video, unfortunately they bought it upon themselves!
A shame that the Eagle's Nest wasn't also destroyed.
The ability to enjoy utube is gone thanks to excessive goddammed advertisements
whats with all the graffitti
Great video - just overwhelmed by unnecessary music.
