I've just lost my ability to comment for repeating something a NeoNazi said as a way of mocking him/her. I don't want to lose my account. He pretty much said that the Austrian guy should have finished his political project and I responded with something like. Yes that's a good idea, doing so will fix all the world's problems. Let's start with you guys
I love the writing for the usual weekly episodes of WW2 and for the WAH episodes, but Sebastian's writing for this series feels so perfect for the topic. Kudos!

This is so informative. To live in Germany at this time would have been crazy. Nothing stable, everything in an uproar week to week. Who do you believe from one day to another? Easy for a nobody who promises stability and prosperity to rise to power. This is a great series.
I knew the thirties were hectic for Germany, but these in-depth videos really give so much context to it. Seeing the chronological developments is super informative!
I daresay this format makes it quite easier to understand how little I understand about Weimar politics, and how difficult navigating politics was for the average German citizen. It has always been difficult to understand the rise of radicalism in the Weimar Republic through a rational lens, to me at the very least.
i don't know. the facebook has caught on to the fact that i like german girls and has recommended many german girl "friends" and not a few of them hail from Bielefeld.
Can't help but notice that, admittedly it is quite early, this series has not even mentioned Adolf Hitler yet, there has been lots of talk about the Nazis, but none about what he is doing at this time. Was the Nazi party really that decentralized at this point?
Hitler was always a background man in the daily politics, especially operational stuff that didn’t interest him much at all. He focused on his role as spiritual leader, and pulling the leashes on his princes when he didn’t like with they did. That said; next episode we will introduce a segment called “where’s Hitler” to keep tabs on what he’s up to each month.
The Nazi ideology (or religion one can say) is a bizzare one. Jewish religion for them was a mere side show. It was all about the race or as Hitler and Goebbles and others endlessly stated the blood. The meaning was that Jewish ancestry was what Nazism had in mind, not a mere religious affair. Therefore bolshewists with Jewish background naturally were Jews in Nazi view, doesn't matter if even there grandparents didn't practice any religious Jewishness, became Christians or atheists or whatever was the case. A few percent of "Jewish blood" were all it took to call them Jews.
Ethnic Cleansing of the Temple "And Nazi Jesus went into the synagogue and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple,and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and shouted at them It is written, My House shall be called the house of prayer but ye have made it a den of thieves!" Matthew 21:12-13 Joseph Goebbels on Hitler's religious beliefs The Goebbels Diaries, written by Hitler's Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, provide important insights into Hitler's thinking and actions. The Goebbels diaries report that Hitler believed Jesus "also wanted to act against the Jewish world domination the Jewry had him crucified. Hitler was a devout christian who considered his work a service to god. Hitler justified the Holocaust by saying that the Jews killed Jesus
Yes, you are completely right about this! And since the Nazi views is complete bs, and there are no ‘races’, we wanted to make clear that someone who stops believing is no longer Jewish since that’s all it is, a Religion!
@modero6370 The Nazis are the ones who want to exterminate the Jews Holocaust denial and comparing Jews to Nazis are new 20th century antisemitic stereotypes In the Nuremberg trials before his cyanide capsule, Göring also compared the Jews to the Nazis (The Nazis successfully killed 6 million Jews with the aim of exterminating Jews from the face of the earth. They stopped only when they were crashed by the glorious Red Army and from the west also the army of the USA)
This is an important historical channel. With all the silliness going on in America today we need to see what happened before, at the time it happened, so it does not happen again.
@@omaha2pt so true. sadly this is happening all over the place. where I live, a party with strong ties to fascists has had a plurality for years now. The future seems bleak right now.
"Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men. For though the world has stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again." Wayne Gretzky
The silliness in America is political polarization, but not beyond which has been seen before, particularly from 1965-1980. There is simply not a crisis bad enough, nor hopefully will be there be in our lifetime, to enable the rise of true totalitarian parties on either side.
Yeah, I was surprised how many similarities there are between the things happening now and what is covered here. Take the AFD victory in Thuringia, the upcoming elections in Saxony and the rise of populist parties across the world.
The diatribe against jazz is reminiscent of the rambling articles of American Henry Ford, who was very influential among National Socialists at this time.
11:57 Not necesarily, though many of them did or do. Communism on itself is laicist, that is, in favour of the separation between the church and state, and eliminating any political power that religion has, but that doesn't necesarily mean being yourself an atheist. Rather, it means that religion should be something relegated to the personal sphere. Now, in the case of the Bolsheviks (which were radical even amongst communist groups), most of them certainly were atheists, though they came from various different backgrounds. Stalin himself was a Russian orthodox (though he wasn't a religious person for most of his life), and prior to entering politics he had studied for becoming a priest (but left the studies halfways due to the corruption he found).
@@OriginalUsername There's even a movement known as "Christian socialism", where some Christians view Jesus as a "proto-socialist" (was a working man (carpenter), helped the poor, attacked greedy merchants, fought against the imperialist Romans, etc.). It is very much an intersection of religious faith and leftist politics.
17:15 Indy needs to work on his "ä". Vorwärts is pronounced like American english Fore-vehrts. "Wärts" more or less rhymes with American english "cares". I think we're going to keep hearing from Vorwärts for a while..
I still find it amazing that that many factions could get people off their rear ends to stage a march, then riot at the end. Those were some passionate people.
Sparticus, between my bad hearing and the way you pronounced "extremist", I kept hearing "excrement". And you know, you're not wrong either way!😂 P.S. for any potential Nazi grammers, I'm not saying he's pronouncing it wrong, just pointing out the humor in what I was hearing.😉
For a French listener today, the situation described in this episode sounds terribly familiar. Let's try a translation, party by party: KPD= La France Insoumise SPD= what's left of the Socialist Party Brüning minority government, seeking parliamentary support = Barnier government Bürger Block= Ensemble DNVP, not sure where to stand = Les Républicains NSDAP=RN It's worrying...
Really though I think lots of countries can say this, same BS different area, Nazis really showed their hand during the night of the long knives, but other than that not until in power did they completely showed how rotten they were
It's really quite interesting actually, this wrestling some Nazis had with whether or not to embrace jazz. People are funny, multivariate, drawn to ideologies for different reasons and thats clear here. Nazism could never jive with jazz no matter individual musical proclivities. Besides the African American context of its creation, the freedom of musical exploration that is improvisation is entirely antithetical to the Nazi concept of culture, prefigured in ancient history.
Yes, it almost seems like one particular side has been studying how the Nazis did it so that they too can take over. Hmmmmmmmm. Tell a lie as the truth enough times and the people will soon believe it to be the truth
It actually says "Wo ist Indy Neidell," which means "where is Indy Neidell" in German. "Who is..." would be "Wer ist..." Not sure if that's a typo or a play on Carmen Sandiego
Regarding the viability of the official police report: remember when that cop yelled "shots fired! Man down! I've been hit!" after an acorn landed on the roof of his car? Remember how he fired all of his rounds towards the guy handcuffed in the back of that car?
Regarding parliamentary mess in Germany - isn't precisely the same thing going on at the same time in few other European countries? I know it was really messy in Poland.
I find the show interesting to watch while reading ian kershaw biography of hitler, he does talk about hte weimar government issues and before reading it, ,I didn't knew about the blomberg and fritsch affair
Shame there wasn't a German Old Republic Party. We would have been treated to Indy giving their views in a Yoda voice. Great work and keep it up. Excelsior!❤
If only modern Star Wars had such complex and interesting politics like Weimar Republic, lol. I would give away my kidney just to see serious Star Wars show.
@@maciejkamil Hell yeah, it's basically a reason why I want more adult/seriousness in Star Wars shows. LucasFilm already shown us they're capable of doing that with a decent director but for some reason they prefer releasing Acolyte-quality media, ugh.
Thinking about Horst Wessel, people critical of the Nazis and others who grew disillusioned with Hitler made their own parodies. They are hilarious. Here is one of them I found in English, I don't know the author: The prices high, the snouts firmly closed, Hunger marches with a quiet, steady step. Hitler and Göbbels, our two comrades, Starve in spirit along with us proles. In the unemployment benefits office SOS is sounded, All we men stand prepared to register as unemployed. Instead of bread and work, the Führer gives us just phrases, And whoever says anything lives but a little while. The street stinks of the brown battalions, A cushy job winks at the Stormtrooper. Perhaps tomorrow he'll be a fat cat and get millions, But that means jack-shit to us.
Hindenberg's strategy really crashed and burned. I feel like there's probably some historical comparison that could be made with other things that have crashed and burned, unfortunately I just can't think of what it would be reich now.
In 'Generation War', the friends danced to Jazz music and now I understand why it was forbotten in the 3rd Reich but people liked it, anyway. It's truely an American icon, Jazz music.
In future editions you need to add some context and a huge caveat regarding the KPD. It is not really at this time an independent German political party. Rather it is funded and controlled from Moscow.
I think it depends on later publisher: some copies are sold with the two part ("Mein Leben" & "Mein Kampf" proper) together and other separate. It seems that also there was another book called "National Socialist politic" but it's just a unfinished draft...
Thankyou for the responses, guys. I seem to be in a bit of a quandary, then, since I heard that there was another book that he wrote under a pseudonym of a party supporter in German nobility called “Adolf Hitler: His Life and His Speeches”. I was wondering how if the book could have been written by Hitler since the podcast in question said it was. In case you wish to double check yourself, I heard mention of it on the Real Dictactors podcast. Thankyou for your time. I look forward to your thoughts on the matter.
It’s not impossible. Historian Thomas Weber, from the University of Aberdeen claims that Hitler penned the book and the purported author; a German aristocrat, Victor von Koerber only served as a front. Weber makes a compelling argument based on period documents, but it is not conclusive. Hence, Mein Kampf is the only book we are fully certain that Hitler wrote. That said, he didn’t write that either really… he dictated the content, but Rudolf Hess did the actual typing. By some accounts Hess did much more than take dictation, and actually wrote most of it based on Hitler’s direction. Whichever is true, what is certain is that it’s not only a horror because if it’s content, but Mein Kampf is also a piece of very poor literature written in convoluted, bad German prose. In fact, the original is so bad, that the English translation is far better written than the original simply because the translator, James Murphy made an effort to untangle it all and at least make it readable.
Thankyou for the response and clearing that up. The books origins are murky even if they are not impossible as you say. It’s interesting that you say Rudolf Hess was potentially more than a transcriber for Hitler in Lansburg prison. Would that technically make him a co-author? He lived until was 93 and died in prison back in the 1980s. I find it more than a little eerie that a potential co-author lived that long into modern times. Again, thanks for the response and for your time.

Is this channel meant to cover historical events or news of the day?
They're the same thing
Shoutout to the ClusterFuckAmp in the Weimar Political Indicator.
I just caught the meter...the "Clusterf*ck amp"
In 'Generation War', the friends danced to Jazz music and now I understand why it was forbotten in the 3rd Reich but people liked it, anyway. It's truely an American icon, Jazz music.

In future editions you need to add some context and a huge caveat regarding the KPD. It is not really at this time an independent German political party. Rather it is funded and controlled from Moscow.
A question: is it true that Hitler wrote another book beside Mein Kampf or is that untrue?
Untrue
I think it depends on later publisher: some copies are sold with the two part ("Mein Leben" & "Mein Kampf" proper) together and other separate.
It seems that also there was another book called "National Socialist politic" but it's just a unfinished draft...
Thankyou for the responses, guys. I seem to be in a bit of a quandary, then, since I heard that there was another book that he wrote under a pseudonym of a party supporter in German nobility called “Adolf Hitler: His Life and His Speeches”.
I was wondering how if the book could have been written by Hitler since the podcast in question said it was. In case you wish to double check yourself, I heard mention of it on the Real Dictactors podcast. Thankyou for your time. I look forward to your thoughts on the matter.
It’s not impossible. Historian Thomas Weber, from the University of Aberdeen claims that Hitler penned the book and the purported author; a German aristocrat, Victor von Koerber only served as a front. Weber makes a compelling argument based on period documents, but it is not conclusive.
Hence, Mein Kampf is the only book we are fully certain that Hitler wrote. That said, he didn’t write that either really… he dictated the content, but Rudolf Hess did the actual typing. By some accounts Hess did much more than take dictation, and actually wrote most of it based on Hitler’s direction.
Whichever is true, what is certain is that it’s not only a horror because if it’s content, but Mein Kampf is also a piece of very poor literature written in convoluted, bad German prose. In fact, the original is so bad, that the English translation is far better written than the original simply because the translator, James Murphy made an effort to untangle it all and at least make it readable.
Thankyou for the response and clearing that up. The books origins are murky even if they are not impossible as you say.
It’s interesting that you say Rudolf Hess was potentially more than a transcriber for Hitler in Lansburg prison. Would that technically make him a co-author? He lived until was 93 and died in prison back in the 1980s. I find it more than a little eerie that a potential co-author lived that long into modern times.
Again, thanks for the response and for your time.
Very interesting
