    0:54 You should've mentioned that the reason why Goring got arrested for asking, that was because Hitler's personal secretary Martin Bormann intercepted the letter and made it sound like Goring was about to launch a coup, so Hitler thought Goring betrayed him

    • @Guns_Blazin
      @Guns_Blazin 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +421

      Also Goring actually worded the later very carefully to make it as diplomatic as possible whilst also trying to reaffirm that he was only following and clarifying the legal process. However, because Bormann intercepted the letter like with all incoming messages for the Fuhrer, it meant Hitler never saw it and given his mental state, Bormann manipulated Hitler into getting Goring out of the way.

    • @lnwolf7563
      @lnwolf7563 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +257

      Bormann wanted to be in charge, thats why he thwarted Goring's attempt to take over. The fact that there was a power struggle while Germany crumbled around them just shows how mentally unstable most of them were.

    Dönitz was apparently his second choice. He originally thought to have Albert Kesselring who was in command of southern forces to take over, but Italian front collapsed faster than he realized (plus Kesselring had been in secret contant with the Allies to surrender his contingent of the german forces, but he changed his in the mind last minute), so Dönitz whom Hitler believed was truly loyal took first place.
    Dönitz had actually defied Hitler as well: he had started operation Hannibal in late of -44 to evacuate civilians and soldiers alike from courland pocket, against Hitler's orders, but Hitler didn't know it at the time.

      I don't think y'all understand how it works and are paranoid. TH-cam absolutely won't censor something before it even gets uploaded, especially if it is something said during the video. Also, getting demonetized and getting age-restricted are not the same as censorship. For example, I tried uploading a video of me singing the song, "Fuck You" by Cee-Lo Green a couple months ago. When I titled the video with the word "Fuck" uncensored, it was immediately declared age-restricted. However, when I uploaded "Fuck the World" by ICP it was not age-restricted because I changed the title to "F*ck the World", even though I didn't censor any of the words I said within the video (I still sang all 93+ "fucks" in the song without bleeping any of them).

    One of the best actors who played Adolf H was Günter Meisner, who played the Austrian painter in the comedy “Ace of Aces,” the miniseries “Winston Churchill: the Wilderness Years,” and the 1983 epic show “Winds of War.” It is in this last production that Meisner shined his magnificent ability to bring the German dictator to life. He did such a good job that even the great Robert Mitchum probably thought while he was working with him: "Damn, not even I can compete with this mf."
