Inaccurate. Hermann Goering would've simply taken the Liberty Bell into his private art collection.
Goering was executed for being a traitor at some point during the 1950s.
@@Exodon2020 Well, the point is that the Nazis were more likely to loot and stash artefacts like the Liberty Bell either in a Swiss Bank vault or some VIP's mansion.
@@Exodon2020 what did goering do? never really got into this show
@@adam3496 he declared himself as chancellor when hitler was ill. After hitlers recovery he was accused of treason because of this
Der hätte die einfach gegessen, aber das ist Heinrich himler du Mensch
Shocking. Lowering the bell into the furnace that way would trap a dangerous air bubble. It should have been upside down.
Wouldn't it get out through the crack?
but since since its on molten metal, wouldnt the heat and fire just consume the oxygen inside that pocket of air? i thought it would make make it slightly cooler and nothing would happen
@@2kjOU3oZxbiox82 no, because there is still air inside, not just oxygen but also nitrogen and other gases.
Thank you, i wanted to say it, finally someone that knows how melting metal works.
I wondered this, but then I thought I saw a hole in the top as it went in - maybe they drilled a means for the inner air to escape?
How Himmler's line "Fantastic, simply fantastic" has not become a reaction meme yet? Lol.
This show is simply not popular enough, and that’s a shame
It’s himmler.
I’ve already made a meme of it, thanks to you.
Really himmler?
All i see was just the same symbol
He came a little.
"An empire defeated by it's enemies can rise again, but one that falls from within? That's dead. Forever."
Ain’t Democratic Communism Great?
@Hunter Smith it is commonly known and accepted that Rome fell more from internal strife, corruption and decay than it EVER did from external enemies. Once the "soul" of Rome had died, and Germanic peoples started becoming more and more numerous in the Roman Legions, Rome was no longer protected by armies that sought to protect her out of loyalty. And once that happened and after the Roman Empire was split in half, the western half (the original homeland) soon lost much of it's remaining wealth and power.
@@scottlanghoff8729 That’s scary, as I can see them doing this. Sadly others cannot open their eyes.
@@gabrielharris8043 100 percent correct. Rome fell absolutely from within. It's corruption, greed and murderous bid to seek power completely destroyed it. By the end, it couldn't pay it's soldiers, most of which were hired from Germanic lands and they revolted.
The Chinese Empire's various dynasties would like a word with you.
The Liberty Bell went out like the T-1000
T-800
How do you know that was the real liberty bell, Not some copy left behind by the mountain men it's to make you think when we see the flash backs on the early days of the Nazi occupation what could be just fakes and copies or the ones got dismantled and all the parts of statues or mountments that can be saved and got sent to Mexico for storage until America can be liberated.
CaptainViral84 really. America got nuked with mass arrests in every major city. You’re going to try and assume that we hid the Liberty Bell.
@@beardedbros7215 I am talking about when DC realized that they losing the European theater two to three years be for the full conquest of Europe that is enough time to save what is the most most important artifacts and people private collections who want be saved and ship down to Mexico un to America can be liberated.
@@CaptainViral84 ok, but also Mexico is part of the Reich
0:47 just noticed the model of what eventually replaces the Statue of Liberty in Season 4.
This didn’t age well
This hurt to watch. To see the Liberty Bell and Statue of Libery destroyed to never be brought back to the original glory hurt.
As someone from Pennsylvania I am displeased that they destroyed my bell
I agree, as a Pennsylvanian I say fuck Himmler
Living in Philadelphia I feel guilty for not paying attention to it for years.
@@mustardbottle8663 Well would whould you expect from a show like this ? It's not like Nazi's are just going to keep this becon of liberty and hope, the Nazi's are oppressing the Americans so stuff like this wouldn't fly.
@@magicduke8386 well the thing is tho is that Hitler probably would’ve kept it as a trophy of some kinda. But since he died and it seems Himmler took over I can see it being destroyed by him
@@mustardbottle8663 Yeah I know. It's just you seemed to be over reacting, this show is about a Nazi victory what more would you expect ?
I live right down the street from independence hall in philly. I had to go today to make sure the liberty bell is still there. It is👍👍👍
Good to hear. 👍
THANK YOU,Sir!
This scene was simply HORRIFYING!
I thank god!!! I thought this show was real. FFS
*All the historians* *Heart attack*
Nah this made historians hate nazis more than anything else they had ever hated
@Т. As you need more of a reason lol
@Т. Apposed to the utter nonsense that came out of you? ;)
@@yourgenericdustyplane2163 Hating an ideology over actions individuals, which are supposed "followers" of this ideology, are taking within a fictional universe? Sounds as if your accusing the average Historian of being akin to sufferers of schizophrenia.
@Т. Prove what? That Nazis are evil?
Don't have to. The records speak for themselves :)
This show made me appreciate how history actually turned out
Thia show made me sad on how history turned out

@@ece5925 didnt know this many national socialists exist 😳
@@herewegoo2677 Idk about National Socialists but these days there seems to be huge amounts of nationalists. Whether it's due to migration or just multiculturalism I can't be sure, but I cannot really blame nationalists.

This is the kind of thing that's designed to make you sick to your core.
It achieves that, and then some.
Truly makes one appreciate the men who stopped this from becoming a reality 🇺🇸
I quite enjoy it
I'm not even American, I'm South African and watching the symbol of the American Revolution melted down into a swastika makes my stomach churn.
Not really tbh
@Lucas Fernandes I’m sure whatever shit hole country you are from is already a train wreck.
didn't hitler and his fellow generals and allies love history? so it would've been put in a museum for a country that once existed in that timeline?
Hitler is dead at this point. Himmler, on the other hand, was historically far more into his own strange worldview of history.
@@GeneralBurkhalter1 Yeah, Himmler was so deluded in his view of history that even Hitler said Himmler's ideas were bullshit
The whole point of Himmler's "Jahr Null" is a severing of the past and an embracing of the future. think of it like the young Party members in 1984: they won't be inclined to revolt or bring back some "glorious past" because it never existed for them. all they know is the Party.
erasing the symbols of that glorious past is part of the scheme. it's a long game played by dictators and power players to try and cement their legacy and rule.
Hitler was dead by this point. His goons were now free to enact a more extremist agenda. This project was designed to wipe out any traces of the pre-Reich world to stifle resistance to their rule. You can't fight for the world that came before if you don't know what it was or even if there was one at all. Also, the Liberty Bell and the Statue were more than art. They were symbols of a free and independent nation and thus of resistance. And the sculptor of the SoL was a Freemason. Big no-no in the Reich.
The Nazis had SS officers assigned to take over parts of the USA. They were to study the region and ensure that all vestiges of American history were destroyed. This is very in line with Nazi tactics, destruction of statues, etc. only they would have done sooner. It’s hard to watch but I wonder how many “Americans” enjoyed these scenes.
"Let's make a swastika shaped bell."
"Bet it will sound terrible."
"It's fine. The prototype will be made from a broken bell. Nothing lost."
"Bet the broken bell sounds better..."
It can be rung by throwing the bell.
The Japanese actually did this with their own historic bells during the war - hundreds of Buddhist temple bells, centuries-old masterpieces of metalwork, melted down for weapons and ammunition.
Communist China also did this. I don't think anyone knows how much culture was lost during the so-called Cultural Revolution".
Japan being Japan
I once read a book, In The Presence of Mine Enemies. In it, one of the characters visit the Reich war museum in Berlin and views the radioactive remains of the Liberty Bell...behind thick leaded glass of course lol. Just goes to show you what a powerful symbol it is. You can find it in the oddest places.
I never knew how much a symbol i have only seen pictures of could mean to me.
Watching this... It felt like my chest was in a vice... Thank God for those who fought and defeated this regime.
A. Fucking. Men.
xD
Remember those brave boys who died saving our freedom
From a historical perspective, I do find Man in the High Castle annoying simply because of the impossible nature of a Nazi occupation of America, or even much of Europe (let alone huge chunks of the Middle East and South America). I think it much more likely that Germany would have various puppet/client rulers in Europe and rule in the same way that the US exercises its authority in the world, just with more warcimes and horrific genocide.
@@TheSunderingSea weird to think that British is still the same because Hitler love British. Nothing change in Britain
Reminds me of all that's happened now...
When I first saw this scene it was fascinating the emotional reaction it gave to me. As an American, I honestly don't care about the Liberty Bell. In the sense that if tomorrow I heard on the news that it had fallen to bits or was stolen or something, I'd mostly go "Huh, that sucks. Oh well." and then probably never think about it again. And yet the first time I watched this...my blood was BOILING with rage. Such an outstanding show!
God Bless you and Protect you,fellow PATRIOT.
Bro i felt the same way. Its the same with the statue of liberty. Look i love my country but if the statue of liberty rotted or the bell was stolen i would be like "okay meh" but seeing this and the demolition of lady liberty struck a nerve in me. It isn't until one sees these symbols destroyed and bastardized into something ungodly like a Nazi symbol do you realize what they meant to you
I feel the exact same way. Well stated.
You should care! It represents our homeland's soul
@@themandalorian6999 I disagree. That is something that is going to be associated with an individual and their own connection to the nation. For me, the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence far more encapsulates the 'soul' of the US.
Somehow this scene reminds me of Tywin Lannister melting down Ice.
So true
Even if the liberty bell doesn't stand for exactly what it was supposed to it is still a national icon
Is it weird that almost everybody passed out watching this scene
So gut wrenching when they lowered it into the furnace.
I'm reminded of the scene in Game of Thrones when Tywin has House Stark's ancestral Valyrian sword Ice melted down and reforged into two swords for the Lannisters.
This hurt man this is one of the few shows to do that
This like the Statue of Liberty being destroyed convinced me how glad I am it didn't turn out this way. It hits you at your core, this small symbol of freedom, gone forever. It's a punch to the gut.
It wasn’t the realization of mass genocide that convinced you?
@@oliverhakim414 Mass genocide DID occur, I think he's noting it could have turned out even worse.
Europe would be white, prosperous and beautiful had the nazis won. Now its a multiracial shithole in which natives are being degraded every day.
@@user-ql8lt2uy5sThe US is the same kind of sh*thole today, so at least a stalemate instead of a victory in WW2 would have turned out better even for Americans themselves.
@@metall-hahn6202100%
the music at the end, just goose bumps! Brilliant!
This would've been a very bad move, us Americans can become very attatched to old dusty things that look like gold and make pleasent ringing noises when shot.
As a person who has visited Philadelphia and had a disappointing experience, I like this very much

@@lobsterminion693 Thank you! Very few people seem to understand just how dumb the idea of travelling to the past to change something really is.
If "fate" exists, people would either fail or cause the very thing they were trying to change. If there is no "fate", then travelling back in time would be impossible to begin with, as if it was universe's way of preventing a paradox.

Ironically, the proposed statue replacement looks like something the Soviets would make.
National Socialism is still Socialism.
Yeah it definitely looked like something the Soviets would make for sure. I don’t think the NAZIS would destroy the Statue of Liberty or the liberty bell but whatever
That's probably because it looks like they modeled the replacement statue on the "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" monument in Moscow.

@Howard Pearcey You're fun
Difference is that in china most of the symbols that were destroyed during the cultural revolution were symbols of the old dynastic regime and were thus symbols of oppression so not rlly a fair comparison
@@lawsharland7278 same thing in Russia. Not saying for a moment that the Soviet regime was a noble one, but the symbolism that they destroyed wasn't representative of democracy; just a different dictatorship. The Russian Empire and it's policies against various groups of people, while not nearly as vast in terms of scale as the atrocities committed by the Soviets, was far nastier in terms of ideology that what the Soviets did. Based on discrimination vs. just straight-up conformity.
China would not be this dumb.

It didn't? There was never a point when Germany was more powerful than the United States. Germany were the theoretical underdogs the whole time. When fighting France, when fighting the Soviets, and to a lesser extent, the British Empire. But WW1 had ensured that Germany wouldn't resurface as a threat to the US for at least another decade.
From a symbol of freedom to one of oppression.
Symbol of freedom? What freedom? During a time of slavery and genocide. One hateful symbol into another. Naming an hateful object freedom doesn't mean it symbolizes freedom.
@@TemplarX2 America has its flaws, especially back then. But the march for equality forever marches on. The Liberty Bell will forever be a symbol of freedom. Symbolizing American independence from Great Britain, and how freedom would start to spread. Do we ignore the flaws of the past? No. That doesn't mean we can't see the good that happened though. Good and bad alike we must recognize, and the Liberty Bell is a symbol of the good.
@@snottytishu5949 You are full of it. That freedom came from black struggles after slavery and a nation founded upon a genocide. It has nothing to do with whites really. After freeing blacks and after WW 2, the white Americans were so shocked by the horrors of the war that they grudgingly gave more rights to blacks so they could leverage their power internationally and appear benevolent. But nowadays they've substituted the plantations for prisons. It's an hateful symbol. That "freedom" you talk about was mostly from black struggles. White history in the US is one of oppression. If anything the NAZI learnt from America.
@@TemplarX2 Yes, the Nazis did take inspiration from Jim Crow laws from America that much we can agree on. Again though, America has been working constantly to try to be better, meanwhile Nazi Germany made no effort to be better. Germany only got better when the Allied Powers(which includes the US), occupied and helped rebuild the nation.

I really hate this! I’m from Philly born & raised my ancestors & family pictures were taken with this bell and the Statue of Liberty. I believe certain things don’t need to dramatized on tv to make a point even though it’s a show. Reading thru these comments I never thought this type of thing is still so praised (hatred & evil, bigotry) all that happened in Europe during the Holocaust, Hitler is still revered as some kind of superstar! It’s crazy to say the least.
absolut fantastiche
It's a total gut punch to see a American icon melted down to make a swastika.
Isn't that was a new beginning?

re melted bronze would not recast that smoothly
This is one of the greatest alternate history shows made it depicts how if Axis forces won World War II things would be a lot different.
It wouldn't have been like this though.
Highest form of evil......
I would argue genocide is more evil than a bell being turned into a Swastika but that’s just my personal opinion.
Oh so the extermination of millions isn’t the highest form?
the allies the exact same to many german artifacts
He should have said: "Another swastika??! Can't you think of something else other than another swastika??"
it would add a bit if they had the camera looking at the front of the bell seeing the crack and the "Pass and Stow" seeing it sink into the vat
pain. All I know is pain
I'll have to watch the movie or read the book now. It's been a long time since I've watched something hurt my soul like this has.
what's the name of the song
Melting down the Liberty Bell & remolding the molten metal into the Nazi Hakenkreuz. Truly execrable. 😢
If this had really happened it would have been the final straw that started the end of any enemy occupation.
It really wouldn’t.
Oh so the extermination of American minorities and Jews etc. wouldn’t be what broke the camel back?
It's possible that it wouldn't, but the destruction of this history and culture made my heart, me as an American, an American who I will admit is not as learned as he should be on his own history, who before this scene only ever heard of Liberty Bell once, become filled with grief, enough grief to the point where I think it would turn to rage if this happened irl.

To those who think the Nazis wouldn't do something like this, look up what Hitler had done to the "Glade of the Armistice" memorial in Compiegne, France after they surrendered in 1940.
That was personal for the Defeat of the Central Powers
Thats the cart where the surrender condition of the 1971 german empire were signed right? Given that this car was the congregation place of the very few people that can directly be blamed for _both_ world wars (since the 2nd one was caused by the treaty being so dickish), I'd say the reaction was, retroactively speaking of course, appropriate in the context of spitting on the grave of these people.
@@slyseal2091 exactly, he destroyed a symbol of French triumph. The Nazis would do the same to America.
@@Soundwave3591 Not really, it was a symbol of losing WWI, and even if he genuinely cared about America to this degree he would have already gotten his theoretical revenge as all of the victors signed the treaty in the cart, not just france.
I feel as though the Reich would rename the states, counties, and cities, to really set in the whole "Year Zero" shtick of theirs. However the explanation for why they didn't change it could be "They wanted people to keep reminders of the past to stay more compliant" or something like that
they would have

I tried watching that show but I couldn't suspend my disbelief to enjoy it.
With all the strategic mistakes made because he was ignorant of any education in the subject, he alone made it impossible for the axis powers to win. That combined with the Japanese short sighted strategy of bringing the US into the war inspite of what they knew to be the industrial might of the USA doomed the axis powers to ultimate defeat.
They won because they obliterated Washington with an atomic bomb! Not really a strategy but in the face of overwhelming destruction the Allies had no choice but to stop fighting
