Germans were extremely popular settlers in Medieval Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe as well as early modern Russia because they were very skilled and productive (=taxable!) and usually didn't make their culture anyone else's issue.
@@timostark5225 Before the iron curtain fell, IKEA indeed had a couple of factories in eastern Germany, producing cheap furniture for the western markets.
As A German I obviously feel very happy when reaction videos talk so high about us but to be fair... I am pretty sure you can do such a video for most countries around the world :)
about countries with a 200 year history of pretending they invented everything , are the best , and basically the only? nope, it will not fly. germany is the origin of the west, for good and also for the bad. What annoys me is that those who build on our shoulders so seldom acknowledge it. they never give credit, and they adopt an arrogance that is undeserved
While living in Siberia for some years as a German a funny thing happened. I heard a lot of high praise for Germans building houses, being more orderly, etc. There was also a rumor about small "German" towns in the Altai. To be honest I mostly put that down on sweet talk and them trying to be flattering. Then after two years being on a business trip I came to a place and there was a house named "pharmacy ", "townhall", the fences were standing straight! I couldn't believe my eyes. It was very touching to see that after literally houndreds of years regardless to being deported by Stalin to the middle of Siberia in the forties the German-ness was still so obvious.
Many ethnic Germans from the Altai came back to Germany after the fall of the Wall. Many have settled here in Bernau near Berlin. So we hired a few Russia-Germans in our company. There was a funny situation when my old man had a lively chat with Waldemar (newly hired) during a company party: Waldemar, where are you from? From Barnaul. I know, but from where in Russia? Barnaul! I know......we all live here in Bernau..but where in Russia? BARNAUL!!! Why am I actually telling this? Oh yes.....Photos from Waldemar. That's right, the houses looked original like they did here in Bernau 100 years ago. Flowers in the front yard, fences straight, everything freshly painted. Just like you said....:)
Yes, the Germans have given so much to the world. 2 world wars! With 100 million dead in Europe. Most of them murdered in genocides by this disgusting nation. Yes, this completely megalomaniac, mad, felonious, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation really gave the world a lot of very evil things. Like the SS, NSDAP, Nazism, SA, Hitler Youth, death camps, gas chambers, wars of extermination, genocides, massacres, Ethnic cleansing, collective expulsions, tortures, General Plan East for the genocide against all Slavic nations, Romani genocide, Holocaust genocide against the Jews, murder of millions through starvation, Enslavement of millions, Abduction of hundreds of thousands of children for Germanization, cruel human experimentation, terror bombing of cities, book burnings, intentional destruction of cultural heritage of other nations, art looting, deliberate destruction of cities. I could go on presenting the list of German gifts to humanity for a very long time. Although these are only the gifts of one era, because in the Kaiser era there were already genocides in West and East Africa at the beginning of the 20th century and they also criminally waged the First World War, including massacres against civilians by the German army in Belgium and Poland, and this criminal army also deliberately destroyed cities as early as the First World War. Yes, these are all wonderful gifts from the Germans to humanity. We should all be grateful for that.
Most beer breweries in the US were started by German speaking people...the oldest brewery ,still operating , Yuengling (probably Jüngling) was started by the Yuengling, Busch, Anheuser, Coors and on and on.Isenbeck in Argentina, Tsiangtoa in China,Eisenbahn in Brazil......
Anheuser Busch (AbInBev) is a Netherland brewery company with breweries all over the worl bought by them, it is sure that about every sixth beermark in a shop is owned by them.
Im a German who lived in different countries and even though I’m not a historian I learned that every country has it’s „darker“ parts in history. I was raised with a stamp of shame for being a German. My grandparents told me stories about the end of the war and how it was being raised in that time. It was a horrible part of German history. But that’s it. Thanks to videos like yours and my travels I learned that being German is not just bad. I think we should never forget and honor history. Learn from the good and bad. If we filter all of Germans past through the Second World War, it feels like the bad guys won.
I lived in Germany for a long time and can speak German without an accent. That's why I know the lies they spread to whitewash their own nation. One of the tactics the Germans use is the tactic of pointing with the finger at other nations with the assertion that they also committed terrible crimes. Like this German here, he also tries to whitewash the Germans with his shameless comparison with of Germans with other nations. Quote:...every country has its “darker” parts in history. In fact, this is a widespread tactic in Germany, in order not to make their own Nations history look so criminal and barbaric. The motivation is to spread the lie that Germans are actually equals among equals, nothing special with their history. I have experience with it! That's just a kind of falsification of history that this crimes were equal. But this tactic does not work anyway because there is a colossal difference between the Germans and the other nations. Nothing compares to the crimes of the Nazi nation. Also the number of victims! The crimes of the Nazi nation were unique in world history. The Nazi nation enslaved 20 million and also murdered many of the slave laborers through extremely hard labor and malnutrition. Hundreds of thousands of Polish children were kidnapped for the human breeding program and for slave labor. The Nazi nation also murdered or maimed many people through human experimentation. Germans started in a very short time various wars against various states largely with the aim of conquering the territories and exterminating the population there and enslaving a minority. Pure, insane, megalomaniac and utterly amoral barbarism! The Nazi nation committed various genocides which were partially committed on an industrial scale. They murdered tens of millions of people for racist reasons and for ethnic cleansing. The Nazi nation responsible for the death of some 65 million by the consequences of the war and the various genocides. What is decisive, however, is that they murdered millions of children in the process. That was unique in world history. So this damn completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation cannot be compared to any other nation. Nothing compares to the crimes of the Nazi nation. Also the number of victims! The crimes of the Nazi nation were unique in world history. That was a completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation!
The whole "everything leads up to Hitler" perception is actually it's own debate among German historians called the "Historian's debate" (Historikerstreit) or more precise "the special way (to national unity) debate" (die Sonderweg Debatte). Having studied history in Frankfurt for almost ten years I'd say the whole idea is an inverted obsession the immediate post-war generation of German historians of Germany beeing "special" and thus perversely continuing the NSDAP idea of Germany beeing exceptional just in this case beeing Mordor for twelve years... "exceptionally evil" but exceptional. I feel it's idiotic and has echoes of a gleefull, almost sexual, masochistic obsession with shame - "spank me hard oh history!"🙄. But maybe that's just me, I also feel that Prussia was grossly and unfairly mistreated after the War... but then I am of Prussian- Huguenot descend... 😂 Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
Very well observed, that obsession of large parts of the first generation of post-war German historians (as well as many social- and political scientists, they featured just a little less prominent in the eye of the general public) to make the Sonderweg-theory happen, and two successive generations of their doctoral students trying to preserve the legacy of the (mostly) men who educated them. Indeed a rather perverse inversion of the Nazi/Völkisch obsession with German(ic) racial excemptionalism. Another factor that should not be underestimated is guilt, though: if the descent into National Socialism was all but inevitable, because it was predetermined and set in motion by the actions of several generations of our ancestors for the last several hundred years, what could those those that lived through National Socialism have done to prevent it? Nothing! It was predetermined! No personal responsibility or culpability (aside from the very upper echelons of the Party and the Wehrmacht, who were all conveniently dead or locked away in Spandau by the Allies) to contemplate for the lucky ones who were now building shiny new upper-middle-class academic lives in the new Federal Republic. Especially not for erstwhile ardent little Hitler Youth members the likes of Hans-Ulrich (Wehler) and Jürgen (Habermas)... A prime example of those kinds of people is Fritz Fischer, with his absurdly myopic, nowadays thankfully utterly discredited Fischer Thesis, patron saint of everyone claiming "if Martin Luther didn't already directly cause the 'Evil Germany' of Hitler, it certainly was Kaiser Wilhelm!": Fischer, who started out as a theologist(!) before switching disciplines, and joined the SA in 1933 and the Nazi Party in 1937, directly profited in the form of career advancement from the Nazi's ban of Jewish scholars and lecturers from academia. An utterly detestable hypocrite, who unfortunately received way too little flak for his 40-year-career of lickspittle opportunism during his lifetime. On the other hand - who was supposed to deal that out, when many of his contemporaries often had to contend with broadly similar biographies as well.
But, but *but* my paternal Grandfather was from lower Silesia and his father a staunch K.u.K. loyalist!

Refrigerators In 1876, the German engineer and entrepreneur Carl von Linde developed the Linde process, which is fundamental to science and technology, as a purely physical cooling process. His invention made it possible to improve the reliability of the compressor and the entire refrigeration machine so that they became suitable for industrial use. Before that, there were only refrigerators in which blocks of ice from frozen rivers and lakes were stored over the winter, which were then used for cooling in summer... So, are there refrigerators in Germany? Yes, the world's first industrial refrigerators were invented right here...as was so much else.

2:30 its true. My father is a german from the city Akkerman, Basarabia, Russia from the Black Sea. Today its called Bilhorod-Dnistrowskyj an area between Ukrain and Moldavia. They were resettled to Poland during the war and had to flee from there to Germany. Those who failed were then resettled by the Russians to Kazakhstan. In their USSR identity card was written: Citizenship: USSR; Nationality: German.
Amerigo Vespucci (9 Mar. 1451 to 22 Feb. 1512) -- an Italian merchant, navigator and explorer from the Republic of Florence -- charted large parts of the east coast of South America. In 1507, German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller named the double continent of America after him.
But that is no longer normal today. You no longer buy proper tools for a lifetime, but the China junk from the discounter! Same with clothes... I do not want to start from the quality of work. In the past, 20-30 years ago, Germans always accused Poles of being "bunglers" as a prejudice... They can do everything, but nothing right. Today, Germans are more like that... "I'll get money at the end of the month anyway, why bother?". And I hate you Germans for that. This hypocritical! Very few Germans still do their job with passion! Most of them are fucking lazy!
i was born in germany, raised, and still live here. for the longest time i felt bad being german because of the first half of the 20th century history. i have thought about it a lot, i really struggled with it, but i have come to a conclusion what "being german" is, atleast for me. when i do something voluntarily, i want to do it perfectly and atleast do it right. i like to argue and want to be right, and i mean not talking someone into something but convincing them. for me "being german" is "striving for excellence". i see how some people with that feeling, with a hint of hubris and narcissm, and without self-restraint, can easily slip into a mindset that enables something like the third reich. its like most things: the extreme form is really bad but the basis has potential to be really good
Wie kann man so zurückgeblieben sein und sich für etwas schlecht fühlen, was man nie getan hat ? Jeder mit dieser Art von Störung sollte aus Deutschland verbannt werden, diese Leute sind das Problem!
Alter warum? Nichtmal die heutigen 80-90 jährigen hatten einen Einfluss auf das was damals passiert ist. Wieso sollen wir uns deswegen schlecht fühlen? Dieser bescheuerte Selbsthass kotzt mich an. Hast du mal einen Briten gesehen der sich schämt weil seine Nation den tod von ca 165mio Indern von 1881-1920 zu verantworten haben oder weil sie im Buren Krieg die KZs erfunden haben? Dieser Schwachsinn wird den Deutschen heute immernoch eingetrichtert und es ist wiederlich. Wir haben ja bald kaum noch eine eigene Identität.
Qingdao brewery was founded by Germans in 1903. Qingdao was a german colony from 1898 to 1914. The City Center of Qingdao looks like a City in Germany. Same houses like here in Germany. After the germans had left, the chinese continued to run the brewery and maintained and preserved the houses. Every time i'm there i feel a little bit like at home.
As a German I have to say, that it seems like we have no national identity anymore. The one thing, that we're perfect at, at present is to put ourselfs down for every little thing that goes wrong. It seems we hate ourself more than other do. Sad, but true. ☝️

Like the UK with Hong Kong, Germany had until WW1 a autonomous colony in China. From 1898 to 1919 the city Tsingtau belonged to German Kiautschou colony. Germans dont wanted to miss their beer in Tsingtau and build there the Germania brewery wich still exists today under the name Tsingtao. The Tsingtao brewery is currently the largest in the world.
As a German and a hobby historian, the horrors of the era between 1933 and 1945 was an extension of pre-existing trends, though far from a certainty nor something that only could've happened here. So much of what has happened was modeled after earlier similar events, perpetrated by the Ottomans, the Americans, the Belgians, German colonial adminstrations... The list goes on. And it should be noted that that's the duality of man, being capable of great works but also great evils. Look at the UK and its colonial legacy, the US and its treatment of Native Americans and African-Americans, Japan and its history. Just because Germany did abhorrent things doesn't negate the good aspects of German history.
the Reich did alot of great works too, however just as the rest of german history, the good things of the Reich are not told. Also the constantly "12 years of mordor" or "exceptionally evil" narrative is just ideological propaganda, because if you truly compare the crimes, america and the soviet union easily hold up, just as well as the british, or pretty much every other country does as well. While Nationalsocialism gassed jews, the Soviets starved 4 million ukrainians YEARS prior already and that really is just a small portion of the violence that came from the soviet union. Not to mention Crimes comitted by other Countrys like the Bengal Famine or Nanking Massacre.
Wenn die Geschichte wenigstens wahr wäre. Die Geschichte wird von den Siegern geschrieben. Die Behauptung, daß es einen Holocaust gab ? Es gibt genügend Beweise, daß die sogenannten KZ's lediglich Arbeitslager waren. Ernst Zündel, Fred Leuchter und viele andere haben die Beweise erbracht, daß niemand vergast wurde. Dagegen starben Millionen Deutscher NACH 1945. Allein schon in den Rheinwiesenlagern in denen sie verhungert ,verdurstet und an den Folgen dieser "Behandlung" durch die Amerikaner gestorben sind. An der Holocaust-Lüge verdienen die Juden noch heute. Und sie können jeden mundtot machen , der es wagt sie zu kritisieren. Dabei begehen sie schon seit Jahren einen Genozid an den Palästinensern. Und dieses Land wurde ihnen von den Briten zugesagt wenn sie es schaffen Amerika dazu zu bewegen in den Krieg einzutreten . Siehe Balfour Declaration. Churchill ist einer der größten Verbrecher der Geschichte. Siehe die Bombardierung von Dresden. Es gäbe noch viel mehr zu sagen zu den endlosen Lügen der Geschichte.

A fun fact concerning the point you made about Germany being renowned for the quality of products. The label „made in Germany“ was actually introduced by the British in an attempt to protect their own markets from the imported goods. It backfired hilariously because the British people recognised the quality of the German goods and started to look for the label. The brand is Germany’s most important success in public relations to this day, so thank you Britain! Another thing, both my family and my wife’s family were displaced from their homes after the war, because they belong to Czechia and Poland now. It happened to millions. My wife’s grandmother‘s family was actually very wealthy but lost everything except for the clothes on their backs. She passed away recently, having been almost 100 years old. She had a lot of stories to tell.
When I lived in Peru for a few years I visited the German/Austrian colony of Pozuzo in the Oxapampa Province. German architecture, restaurants and a German brewery can be found there. They even celebrate the Oktoberfest there each year. Not too many people spoke German though.
Das zeigt aber in gewisser Weise, dass deutsche kolonisten nicht unbedingt unbeliebt gewesen sind. Aus diesem Grund, wird auch in vielen Ehemaliegen deutsch-afrikanischen kolonien die erinnerung an deutsche kolonial herren positiv hoch gehalten. sklaverei der araber wurde beendet und den einheimischen mit respekt begegnet. deutsche haben viel gutes auf der welt bewirkt, ifrastruktur gefördert und handel begünstiegt. deutsche sprache wurde nie proaktiv einheimischen aufgezwungen. der kriegsgewinner schrieb jedoch später die geschichte neu und im nachteil deutscher. die vielen erfindungen, welche durch gefäschte patente oder gekaufte und gestohlene und von amerikanern geklaut wurde, darüber wird nicht gesprochen. auch nicht, über die vielen guten produktive ideengeber aus den vorständen deutscher unternehmen oder die ingenioere und erfinder, welche nach kriegsende nach russland verschickt wurden. darüber wird auch nicht gesprochen. den aufschwung der deprimierten deutschen bevölkerung konnte man weltweit in den 1970 - 1990 beobachten. mittlerweile wird jedoch ganz mittel-nordwesteuropa von sozialschmarotzern überrannt und die starke wirtschaft wird zerstört. deutschland geht es zur zeit so schlecht wie noch nie und die fleissiegen und gutherzigen menschen werden es nicht schaffen. es gibt zu viele lügen.
Thank you, Mert, you are a very fair and open minded commentator without prejudices, preconceived notions and a stamped worldview. What germans of today really hate is, when people of other countries think they can judge over their country, knowing only a little bit about a inglorious period of time, ONLY 12 YEARS!, where they had a blackout, whereas major imperialistic countries like England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Mongolia, etc. have done crimes against humanity DURING CENTURIES! And they have never paid for it, they have never regret it, excused for it, made amends! Even though they are so guilty. It's high time they finally held accountable for all their crimes. The Germans of today want HONESTY AND JUSTICE, they are fed up with the hypocrisy of dumb badasses which think they can judge about their grandfathers, whilst concealing and suppressing all the atrocities that their own countries had done. This is in special directed to the warloving USA, that like that crank sort of making profit, by walking over corpses.
Genghis Khan for example killed 40 million...40 MILLION! The Mongols razed entire villages and killed the entire population (women and children alike) for not joining or aiding them And nobody cares...The vikings left a trail of dead bodies with their raids of northern europe and the UK. They slaughtered civilians, nuns and monks for "fun". Again no one cares...Americans using agent orange (chemical weapon) during vietnam war, which caused (and still cuases) harm in vietnam (still-births and disabilities). No one cares...Every nation on earth has blood on their hands and dead bodies in their basement. But only germany is beeing held accountable for theirs...And we are the only ones with enough backbones to admit and feel sorry for our mistakes.
Wenn die deutsche seele erstmal wieder versteht wer sie wirklich ist ,die zeit kommt immer näher wo die deutsche seele wieder deutsch ist und voller stolz auf sein Land ! Ich bin stolz deutsche zu sein ! Die "dunkle" Vergangenheit darf sich niemals wiederholen ,allerdings was danach bis heute mit den deutschen gemacht wurde auch nicht ! Wir sind alle eins ,alle Menschen,egal aus welchem Land wir sind !
German settlements, e.g. in Russia would often be complete villages to resettle devastated areas after war or famine and thus be culturally isolated. In the US Germans would mostly be farmers going west, living in again small isolated communities and so be mostly among themselves. This was promoted by the fact than some groups, like the Texas Germans came in organized groups, organized by rich aristocrats, who kept everyone together. It should also be noted that the German language is one of the central aspects defining Germans, and thus central to German culture.

Yes, the Germans have given so much to the world. 2 world wars! With 100 million dead in Europe. Most of them murdered in genocides by this disgusting nation. Yes, this completely megalomaniac, mad, felonious, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation really gave the world a lot of very evil things. Like the SS, NSDAP, Nazism, SA, Hitler Youth, death camps, gas chambers, wars of extermination, genocides, massacres, Ethnic cleansing, collective expulsions, tortures, General Plan East for the genocide against all Slavic nations, Romani genocide, Holocaust genocide against the Jews, murder of millions through starvation, Enslavement of millions, Abduction of hundreds of thousands of children for Germanization, cruel human experimentation, terror bombing of cities, book burnings, intentional destruction of cultural heritage of other nations, art looting, deliberate destruction of cities. I could go on presenting the list of German gifts to humanity for a very long time. Although these are only the gifts of one era, because in the Kaiser era there were already genocides in West and East Africa at the beginning of the 20th century and they also criminally waged the First World War, including massacres against civilians by the German army in Belgium and Poland, and this criminal army also deliberately destroyed cities as early as the First World War. Yes, these are all wonderful gifts from the Germans to humanity. We should all be grateful for that.
I am german. And it is kind of odd. I say: I am glad to be german and I am proud of our past and all the stuff the former germans invented the reaction is always the same. No matter where I am. The others: You can't say that as a german. You are a nazi. But when americans say that they are proud no one mentions that they have slain millions of native people. Which live in reserves by the way. The reserve thing is like the time Hitler was ruling germany. He put Jews in ghettos. But when he did it is a big no no. But when americans do this it is... Normal? I mean... Wtf?
born in the previous mid century I grew up being utterly ashamed of being German. I have been raging against my parents why they didn't do something about it - not realising they have been children and teenagers in that time. But they where silent. They where also silent about that my grandfather very very quietly helped a very few Jews to escape which I found out about decades later. Travelling abroad I strove to speak English accent free in order not to be identifiably German. Staying in a Johannesburg Hotel I met Israeli businessman (them not knowing I am German) the conversation went to Germany's guilt and reparation. What they said in a nutshell: very few speak about the Holocaust maybe only the old and orthodox ones, there was and is Antisemitism all over the world, actually in centuries past there was the least of it in the German speaking realm thats why so many lived there and Yiddish is so closely related to German . German guilt is a business asset therefore it needs to be kept going. From extensive reading I found - the racial theory with all the horrible aspects was developed in England and found attentive ears in Germany as well. Concentration camps - developed from the Spanish-Cuban Ten Years' War, to the British Second Boer War and the Philippine-American War finally to Germany as well. How to implement Race segregation followed initially the USA-model for their African citizens. My point of view: all of the different bits which came to this hellishly efficient head in Germany had their roots somewhere else. It is NOT an inborn German trait. And as far as responsibility for the most dead human beings in the 20th century is concerned - Hitler ranked 3rd. First being Mao, second Stalin. So, to point the finger at Germans makes it so much easier to overlook the own part in diverse atrocities
Und auch der 3.Platz ist falsch. Der Holocaust ist eine der größten Lügen der Geschichte. Forsche mal nach. Ernst Zündel und Fred Leuchter zum Beispiel. Auch einer Ursula Haverbeck sollte man unbedingt Gehör schenken.

Curiously "made in Germany" was not made to be a marker for excellent quantity. It was meant to warn british citizens they're about to buy a foreign product from Germany in stead of a local product.
Just saw a few days ago a video eveybody seems to notice right now: How "Made in Germany" Became a Seal of Quality Fun fact, as a german i didn't even know that made in germany had this kind of meaning. :) I like your neutral point of view and appreciate it. It's funny that so many people seem to like it more to learn about other countries, then they're living in.
This is why I am so proud to have been to Walhalla in Regensburg, 2k of Germanic history. It makes you think, how far the culture I was brought up in has come, globally. xD
For me, as a German, your Scottish is easier to understand than English, some words sound very German. Also, "Scottish reaction" has to be in the title somehow ;)
Well , the conditions in the Peace Treaty of Versailles after Germany surrendered in the 1 st World War layed the ground for the 2 nd one . The citizens of Germany suffered under the high reparations the must pay to the Winner Countrys , there was a Hyperinflation , an several year long economic recession , they wanted a strong Men , a strong leader and the one which promised an end to all of this was someone from outside Germany , a man called Hitler from Austria ..... , the rest is History . Its like with Brexit , there was someone who promised everything gets better after the UK leaves the EU and 52 % of Voters believed him and is it now better ? I dont think so ...
There are many things about our countries we never learn in school today. If we did, we would love them and take care of them much more. We all have hundreds of generations to look back on, to be proud of their heritage and thankful for their toils that brought us where we are, and thousands upon thousands of generations yet to follow us, for whom we now pave the way. It will do us and our loved ones good to think of that once in a while.
I find German history incredibly fascinating because the Germans and Germany were always there, but at the same time not and always different like a shapeshifter. Stupid oversimplified: Rejects Roman annexation - Germanic Tribes defeat Rome, are often slapped in the face, but Rome generally fails to subdue them Creates an empire that wasn't really an empire but also was an empire and somehow lived for over 1000 years - very special and unique The Kingdom of Prussia and hundreds of German States gangsta! Before being defeated by one of history's greatest generals. defeats the French, unites into a new empire Get a colonial empire Fights 80% of the world alone and almost won.. Is treated badly Comeback as Villian, fights the whole world and only lost because of own mistakes.. Gets divided again Reunites again and is not allowed to be strong again. Also a few German inventions: - Incandescent lamps (Heinrich Göbel 1854) - The Telephone (Johann Philip Reis 1859) - The dynamo and tram (Werner von Siemens 1866) - The 35 mm camera (Oskar Barnack 1925) - Nuclear fission and atomic bomb (Otto Hahn - emigrated to the Americans during Nazi Germany - 1938) - The ship chart (Jürgen Dethloff and Helmut Gröttrub 1969) - Periodic Table (Julius Luther Meyer 1864) - Jeans (Levi Strauss 1873) - The recorder, player - with which the first films were possible (Emil Berliner 1887) - The Aspirin - Which all great athletes felt used to relieve pain, And which saved countless lives (Felix Hoffmann, Klausi Alder.. 1879) - Spark plug (Robert Bosch 1902) - Thermos flask (Reinhold Burger 1903) - the toothpaste (Ottomar Heinsius von Mayenburg) - The coffee filter (Melitta Bentz) - Cassette recorder (Fritz Pfleumer 1928) - Teabag (Adolf Rambold 1929) - The jet engines - Essential for all jets and rockets + First war rockets V1, V2 of the Nazis (Hans von Ohain 1929) - First rocket (in general, Hans von Ohain) - The helicopter (Heinrich Focke 1936) - The first car (Carl Benz - With honorary Schnauzer - 1886) - First Computer (Konrad Zuse 1941) - First 3D film (during the Third Reich) - Fanta (Yes THAT Fanta.. Also during the Nazi era) - The typewriter (Peter Mitterhofer - 1869) - NASA (actually the US buyed thousands of German engineers to build NASA because they can't do it themselves) The first letterpress Mashine (Which was probably the best invention of all time because now they could start printing books, Johannes Gutenberg - 1440) - the trigger of the gold rush (Johann August Sutter was a Swiss but actually German since he was born in Germany, but Swiss and German are one blood anyway, Who triggered the gold rush in America. Not an inventor but cool fact - 1848) Well, as you saw, the Germans changed the world with their inventions many times. Where we would be today without the German art of thinking. Germany the land of poets and thinkers - that's how it was known (Actually) The problem is that many Germans are not proud of their country and blood, unfortunately also because they were brought up that way. Because if you say anything to that effect, you will be called a Nazi. The problem is that many people don't have the right deep historical knowledge that people need to understand the world and and that only Hitler himself and his party were Nazis. Almost no German was a Nazi during the Nazi era. Also, any historian will tell you that the Allies, created Nazi Germany and WWII because of the unfair Versailles Treaty. Germans were so depressed that it is unimaginable for us. They were seen as evil around the world as they were blamed for everything in World War I. And when you have 3 kids at home, no job, money is worthless and no food and water you will follow anyone who fixes it. Because that's what the Nazis did in the beginning - they fixed everything and gave the Germans hope again. No German at the time could have known that Hitler was so crazy. It's not as easy as we always think. Even in the Wehrmacht, only a few liked the Nazis. They were German soldiers dying for the country. the general German soldier, like my grandfather, had nothing to do with the Nazis and the Holocaust. You must consider this one army fought against the rest of the world. And if we are honest: what kind of "peace" could the general German soldier expect? What could have they expect after all the Nazi crimes and everyone thought that all Germans were evil Nazis. What "Peace" could they expect. These soldiers fought for their lives and German people against a planet. If even many of Hitler's own generals like Rommel (legend) or Stauffenberg knew that he was not quite right in the head.. Then the normal people knew that even more. Many were manipulated and could do nothing about it. The Nazis were a small parasite not the Germans. You can imagine the Nazis like a natural dark Parasite Rising from the suffering of the Germans. And the 'Problem' is that Germans are People who have a very special work and perfectionism mentality. That's not a weak enemy. Calling all German soldiers Nazis is like calling all American soldiers democrats because they were in power. We should be prouder of ourselves, after all, Germany has repeatedly fought against the entire world, one time under a bad regime. We made this modern world possible and maintain a reputation for perfection and quality. The hard-working German with perfection in his blood! Or rather, we once had this reputation. Today there is no longer a country of poets and thinkers. We are still occupied by the USA. And people are manipulated and have no prospects. A dark age. What I also find very interesting is that the Germanic people spread very far and are therefore the ancestors of many other people. Therefore, historians are not entirely sure how German the Germanic peoples were, but since they were the first to speak German and also created English, they were already German. In addition, the Germans were also the ancestors of the Vikings means Germanic mythology is almost identical to Norse mythology. Actually the same. Thanks for listening 🥂 I would be in favor of not only teaching the Americans that Germany is the bad guy and that they really deal with it. Most of the settlers who came to America at that time were German. Over 40 million. That's why the Americans have so many German names. That's why the Americans love German culture and are surrounded by it, but don't want to admit it. Every "your" fairy tale was recorded and reinvented by the Brothers Grimm, they were German. But the Americans didn't understand the original meaning behind the brutal children's fairy tales and weakened them. That shows you how stupid most of them actually are over there. It was always about raising children. If they have something on their mind and are afraid of it, they remember it. It also hardened the children. Even though we no longer live in times when war is normal, the world hasn't gotten any easier.. But that's why we're talking about Germany, the land of poets and thinkers, and not America. The Americans would be nothing without the German thinkers and craftsmen. The Germans always had these brilliant ideas.. Which makes me doubt whether they are actually all the same. Almost every big ami company or rich family comes from Germans. If you look at history and see that wherever the Germans went, something big happened. The world was then populated by German emigrants. But since there was no unified Germany or Germany in general at the time, there were only German states or kingdoms such as Austria, Bavaria, Switzerland. There was no national immigration. Just like in America. But something big was still happening everywhere Germans were going. All over the world I see people talking about German books and poems and the culture that shaped them as children. Tyll Ulenspiegel is an example. I find it very interesting. We should talk about it and explain it.
@@AK-my2lh absolutely.. German history and mentality is absolutely beautiful and great.. Without germany and the great mentality we would be pretty much nothing. You should be Prouder! Gott mit uns.
As a German, I am sad to see what we have become a synonym for today: 'legalized Korruption', Failed budgetplanning, imkompetent politicians and insane laws. As well as forcing depts on other countries all the while draining the "common working class people" of everything they still "own". "Runs like a german train schedule" is still pretty accurate. Just the meaning did a "360° turn" (A.Baerbock) - meaning a 180 for the rest of the world.
atm we are just famous for destroying ourself and our economics, also 23 natiosn put is as TOO DANGEROUS TO VISIT . yep g ermans is just a name left from the past, the land will be done till 2040 and i kinda think its good like that, germans not deserve any better if they v oting so retarded parties and are so easy to manipulate over their state media which is essentially just state propaganda like under hitler or stalin
Hey we went further east and even taught the Japanese how to brew beer. I think it is Saporo beer which got directly taught by a small brewery from Fuerstenwalde close to Berlin.
It's definetly the latter. The lead-up to WW1, the revolt of the Kriegsmarine in Kiel, the subsequent 'abdication' of the Kaiser and the Formation of the Weimar Republic, already on the cusp of a Civil War at it's inception and paired with the humiliation at Versailles with the EXCLUSIVE moral fault to the war (like litterally, the fault to a War that had many fathers was laid solely upon the conscience of the german people) and with the follow of deprivations, excesses and tumultous times of the Roaring 20s all of which lead to the rise of Nazism with all it's terrible rammifications in the time from 1933 to 1945. It was a pretty wild rollercoaster ride alright?
German design language has a strong influence on the modern world. For example, the iPhone, or the entire design of Apple goes back to simplicity and efficiency of Bauhaus design. Dieter Rams was the mentor of many of today's successful designers.
It's really funny, I'm from germany and I didn't know the most of these things. It's interesting to see something that you won't get teached in german school, so there isn't something special i didn't know. I just know that the Kindergarden is also an german invention. Also a lot of philosophers and scientists (like Einstein, Luther, Beethoven, johan Gottlieb) are from germany and a part of the alchemy have his roots in germany. I also have to say thanks, it often feels like you will called "nazi" after you told someone that you are from germany. Have a nice day everyone

In Southern Afrika there are german communities to this day including schools, hostels, churches with their own cultural traditions like german beer, Oktoberfest, german butcheries, bakeries etc. Still Valuable contributers to the local economy but also still not as "welcome" because they mostly keep to themselves.
As a german, it is heartwarming to see, that lots of ppl. from outside germany, appreciate our old culture and influence. While our own politicians destroys everything. Germans today live in a invisible golden cage. You're not allowed to say you're proud, bc than you're a nazi. These ppl. do everything to make the germans fall silent. That's why I say, maybe after 3 or 4 generations nothing to be proud of is left over. Culture dies, language dies, respecful human beeing dies, quality dies, good doctors well they don't all die but lot's of them left the sinking ship. I can tell by watching this downward spiral for about more or less 30 years now. Tbh most germans I know aren't even able to talk and write correctly in their main language... Btw. sorry for my english, I guess it's a bad quality example as well.
I must agree with you, sadly...Over half of german 9th grade students doesnt speak or write proper german. Our politicians work against us and silences (calls you a nazi or conspiracy theorist) us if we dont agree or share their opinion. Media is scaremongering and based/ not independend (and likes some "gifts" from politicians). Nepotism, brib...uh "Lobbyism" and elitism are common. Germany is basicaly a oligarchy (Rich/ Powerful minority ruling). I love democracy...The last good politician was Helmuth Schmidt. Berlin nowadays is just the biggest asylum (or clown show)...
Es erfreut einen jeden Deutschen, dass Mert eine so aufschlussreiche Sammlung deutscher Taten, hier gesammelt von Thomas Sowell, ins Netz stellt.

There is an interesting conversation/studdy one could try to do about how german settlers/imigrants managed to keep a lot of their cultural heritage (language, architecture, traditions, etc) while also managing to integrate into the new country/society over time and largly avoiding the generational split/disconect that many other ethnic groups ended up trapped in over the centuries. It seems that especially in the last 30 or so years, we got rising numbers of mixed-ethicity youth, especially in america, batteling with the conflict of not knowing where they firt in. But it seems most previlent in groups like asien-americans or afro-americans. Despite america having many towns who's population where originaly german based, I haven't seen the same problem come up with "german-americans" (Hell, I haven't even heard anyone use that term before to describe themself or others! For all I know, it doesn't exist as a real term the way "afro-american" does!). It would be interesting to see a scholar take a stab at history to see if they can find out why that is. Becouse there has to be SOMETHING that coused that difference in outcome!
Maybe it starts with the fact that "German" is a nationality, not an ethnicity. Secondly, if you don't count the native people, white Europeans were the first to emigrate and build the US. If you also add historic slavery into the mix, I'd say it makes a lot of sense for African Americans to have more questions about their identity than European Americans.
@@huananina your first point is incorect. German is an ethnicity, the enticity of germans. Nationalitys are, acording to the definition google gave me (becouse I wanted to make sure), "the relationship between a person and the political state he belongs to or is afiliated with". Ethnicity referes to "shared cultural characteristics such as language, ancestry, practices and believes". So considering your first point was alredy wrong, that puts your other points of center and makes them less "trustworthy" (for a lack of a better word)
Budweiser indeed changed over time, as did the others. During prohibition, the 2-3 largest brewing companies were able to produce products they had lobbied to remain legal. Most of the other beer and liquor producers went under. After prohibition, these companies used strong arm tactics and lobbying for regulations to prevent other companies from being able to compete. That dominance of the market would continue up into the 21st century, when things like microbreweries and brew pubs were finally legalized and able to compete. During the time that the major American breweries had no domestic competition, their quality decreased decade by decade. There's actually a similar story in American coffee companies. When they eliminated all competition they went o the cheapest most poorly made product that could still legally be called coffee. Because Americans literally had no other choices.
i think there is a difference between being integrated and keeping up language and tradition and on the other side keeping it and refuse to integrate. most countries back then profited from german immigration. most immigrants today (from a german perspective) bring no benefit to the country, they are more likely seen as cost factors and trouble makers. but this is no matter of times we live in. italians and asians are well integrated even today in germany. there are zivilizations that fit and others that dont fit together.

I heard about that in my birth town Freiburg im Breisgau the Name America was invented. But I never new if this is true. But it looks looks that the Freiburger cartograph Herr Waldseemüller 1507 thought Amerigo Vespucci discovered the continent and therefor named the new continent America. You can see it on pictures of his map.
6:11 The map was made 1507 from Martin Waldseemüller (1472/1475 -1520) He was born in Wolfenweiler im Breisgau and studied maths and geografic in the University of Freiburg im Breisgau. At the campus you can see a copy of the map. The last original was sold 2001 to the USA. It was a special approval necessary because it was a cultural property of Germany. Now it is in the Library of Congress.
Just some thoughts to your opening question: what we have learned and experienced together in the last 3 years, that all countries, people and cultures can drift from enlightened free countries to fascistoid tyranny in a matter of weeks. Have we learned from German history? History does not repeat itself, it rhymes! I am still shocked by the fact how easy it is to exclude and tyrannize people....
The Germans contributed significantly in whatever region they decided to immigrate to. The locals benefited from them and most were proud of them though few got jealous of them.
As a german i find it saddening that we have no more national pride whatsoever. Of course something like Nazi Germany is never allowed to happen again but it would be nice if sometimes we would focus on ourselves and fix our problems rather than trying to help everyone else in the world first.
@@bankimmun8621 Well, Austria was also a fascist dictatorship since 1933. First, Engelbert Dollfuß was the "Führer", after his coup d etat. After his violent death it was Kurt Schuschnigg, who closely followed the Italian "Duce" Benito Mussolini, who guaranteed the continued existence of a separate Austria. As Mussolini became more and more aligned with Hitler, Austria's independence was over and Hitler was able to annex the country to the great approval of the Austrian population.

You learn about the "German settlements" partly in history lessons (for example: Volga Germans, Transylvanian Germans, settlement of Prussia), others you can also learn from television documentaries: for example: "Die Welt op Platt". A series by Norddeutscher Rundfunk about places around the world where some form of Low German is still spoken. Moderators: Jared Dibaba and Julia Westlake. Oh and don't forget Jared Dibaba grew up as an emigrant in a small northern German town and learned to "snack op platt" in kindergarten.
My grandfather passed away in 2015. He was born the year before the Nazis rose to power and his favourite joke on his birthday in 2013 was that he's almost 1070 years old - Hitler called his 3rd Reich "the 1000 year kingdom" and he just turned 80..

Being a Dutchy and yet being of German ancestry (since 1752 in The Netherlands) I do recognize this item. Many many true Dutch families turn out to be of German ancestry, whether they like this or not. A fact after all is a fact. See WW2 is never far away in daily life here in The Netherlands, although WW2 already is 80 years ago. For the generation which actually was in WW2, it often was a traumatic experience which gave many people PTSD and besides soldiers many common people as well. The same common people whom were trying to raise a family in this horrific era suffering of PTSD and all and so creating a newly born generation in WW2 or slightly after WW2 being exposed to PTSD parents and a PTSD society. The people growing up in WW2 are called first generation war victim and the children this first generation war victim raised are called second generation war victims (born in the late 40's, in the 50's, the 60's and even the 70's) , since they had to deal with their PTSD parents and PTSD grand parents, and all other people suffering from PTSD ( Family like aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, anybody) since such a grand war will leave a huge impact in any society. These are the consequences decennia after a war people were not in themselves and yet they struggle with the direct or indirect consequences of this war. This is the reason why some people in 2024 still can react strongly negatively to German people, Germany, the German language, but they do prefer German products: household items (kitchen, washing machine, coffee maker, etc.) and of course they prefer to have a German car in front of their door. The duality (originating from PTSD trauma) of rejecting the country, the language and the German people, and yet coveting German products is characteristic. Even today (2024), some young families are not free from PTSD and raise their children with such a duality between rejecting and desiring people and things of German origin, which for example at football matches between The Netherlands and Germany will come to the surface again.
While the "made in Germany" label was originally a British designation to make it clear that these were shoddy German products compared to fine industrial products of the British empire. And in the beginning of the industrial revolution that was even true. Germany simply wasn't a united nation yet, lacked standardized tools and regulations. While the British were among the first with working, reliable, powerful steam engines. This drove up British productivity. The central regulations demanded by both parliament and the British crown made certain that norms for production abd quality were established. However, the Germans of the time quickly cottoned on and sent students into GB to study (and copy) their technology. Soon after the first railroad with a steam engine had been built in Britain, German engineers pretty much copied these designs and built their own train from Nürnberg to Fürth. The same happened for other British inventions. They were often copied, but with the knowledge of their first iteration flaws German engineers were given a chance to improve on them. While the "made in Germany" label was originally intended to make certain that the British could easily discern them from until then superior British products, it quickly got a label of exceptional quality. Because Germany simply couldn't cope with the masses of products the British industry could churn out. So Germans went the other way: smaller amounts but exceptionally high quality. Once that label started to stick, it became a runaway snowball. Even when some German products were objectively not as good, they were still flagged under the now top quality label of "made in Germany". But here comes something of a kernel of truth: Germans do tend to be tinker with machinery, until they are happy with the quality. Good enough is rarely what a German finds acceptable. So even objectively worse products were regularly given a functional make-over, until they became better. Second part: the number of Germans able to read due to the many printing presses was already a lot higher than in many industrial countries back then. With the old guild system of setting up long lasting training regimes for apprentices, engineers came with a very high degree of knowledge and understanding of the principles behind the machines. Not only the basic understanding how to operate a machine by turning this knob, then pulling that lever, in a certain sequence, but the actual function of each individual part as a whole. That's when German engineering took off. That label of "made in Germany" being a top quality sign lasted for roughly 100 years. In the last two decades it has however fallen behind. Not that German products aren't okay to good but they've lost their seeming untouchable quality label. Not that such a seeming untouchable quality was ever warranted.
Sounds like the swiss watch industry. They were top of the line until the first quartz watches. The japanese watches industry almost killed the entire swiss one. Until the swiss started to specialize and deviate to high quality and luxury watches, because the brand itself sells already. But, function-wise, a Casio for 20 pounds already has an accuracy, which puts a lot of expensive watches to shame.

The funny thing is, that the anglo saxons who moved to the island and founded England brought their germanic language forming a new dialect "English" of ancient German developing to a new language but is very close to modern German still.,
By your logic modern German is also only a dialect of it. People tend to overgeneralise Germanics with Germans. Both Engllish and German have the same roots, but developed differently. English did not start from German, but Proto-Germanic. Same as German did.
@@Schwachsinnn I never said anything else. You are the one confusing it while reading. I said germanic language/ ancient German, i never said English started from modern day German. And also yes modern German is a dialect (i don't know what you mean by "only"), it's not like there is an original German everyone spoke and is more of a language than the dialects. In every language there were only dialects. It is that at some point (for communication reasons and with the forming of nation states) an official dialect was chosen or created with the help of existing dialects. So is High-German, which is based on Mid-East to High-East dialects.
@@pyrointeam It was not German, but GermanIC, which was spoken back in the day when the Anglo Saxons left and started to develop English. North Sea Germanic, which is a dialect of West Germanic to be specific. Later on the West Germanic "English" was influenced heavily by he North Germanic (which has its roots in Scandinavia) and then by the romanic language French.
@@Schwachsinnn Read carefully please, i said they brought their germanIC language. There is no discussion that i said that. when i refer to ancient german i refer to the group of all germanIC languages. modern German (with all its dialects) developed from Old German (with all its dialects) which developed from ancient german (with all its dialects) which developed mainly from (besides other influences) the indo-germanic languages. There is no such a thing as two languages GermanIC and German, German IS germanic, it developed slowly over time with many influences, you can neither say at this point indo-germanic became germanic or at this point it became german, we are speaking languages here not tribes, nation, states and politics. Changes in that can happen over night, while languages develope slowly and consistently. Nor can you make a noun out of an adjective and declare it something completely different.
What is lost in this video is that many of the people mentioned had a predominantly Jewish identity instead of a German one, even though they came from Germany and spoke German. We have many similarities, but are also very different. You can see it in the language, most of them spoke (and still speak) Yiddish, which is a mixture of Hebrew and German, and I'm able to understand much of it with no issue. The evolution of language that happens along migration is a very interesting topic in general.
You should take a look at the history of German Imigrants in Chile more than 160 years ago, and theyr influence in society, as laws, firefighters, army, police, health system, education and almost "terraforming" in the south of the country. You'll be surprised! Best regards.
I have ancestors where parts of the family emigrated to the Volga in the 18th century and after the First World War distant relatives to the USA (Iowa). After the Second World War, one great uncle emigrated to Canada and one to Australia. I have only been able to find info about the family branch in the USA. My history teacher always said that 31 years of history (1914-1945) destroyed almost 1000 years of German culture - in my opinion, this is a bit too simplified, but the core statement also has a lot of truth. I think the culture of remembrance about our darkest parts in history helps to hopefully not repeat it. Somehow we Germans are strange folks. Hard-working, dutiful/penitent/orderly sometimes to the point of ridiculousness, but also belligerent (if you follow our politics) and grumble at a very high level about every little thing. 🤭I also didn't realize before all the reaction videos on yt how positively Germany is viewed abroad.
Just if it´s not in the video but the sewer system of New York which i think still is the same, was also invented by an german. I only know that because it was one of my relative great great great grandpas. But i know they are not the nowaday standard. Sorry if i have some mistakes in writing here, can´t write every word correct.
Germans never existed the same as Britains. The governments, the politics, the geostratical situation created a history. The warcrimes and crimes against humanity commited from "Germany" should teach everybody that we always have to fight for human rights and protect them at all costs.
i dont need germany, i see the war crimes of britian and usa are going on just last 20 years to tell me so . not sure what a old historical event should help here , england and usa went into 53 attack wars and killed far more than 250 million men in other nations since ww2 so yea, you guys killed more than stalin and hitler together and you keep on doing so :) is that why you love hitler ? so you can go on keep on terrorise the world and feel like nothing wrong with it ?
"The warcrimes and crimes against humanity commited from "Germany" should teach everybody that we always have to fight for human rights and protect them at all costs." the question is why Germany is always used as an example when it comes to war crimes and crimes against humanity. there should only be a few countries on earth (or have existed) that have not committed war crimes etc. in their history. Russia alone was responsible for far more deaths before, during and after the Second World War (not including fighting soldiers) than Germany in the Second World War. but Germany is always and only taken as an example. Why? Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way trying to downplay Hitler, his followers and their atrocities, but I'd like to know why people keep pointing the finger at Germany and how bad they were when many of those countries were just as bad.

Also Thailands biggest beer brand Tiger Bräu has German founders. But what is interesting, is the chart he used here, showing Netherlands, Belgium and Germany shows the borders like 1937, but using The spelling of local city names like before WW 1, Like Cassel, wight is Kassel for over 100 years now and there is even Elberfeld, which was in the 1900s a city of knife manufactures, and machine construction, and the Birth Place of Karl Marx. And Elberfeld is now a part of the City of Wuppertal , i think for over 100 years already, and never to be found on German maps. Then there are Braunschweig and Köln named with the english "translation " Brunswick and Cologne. What a mess of a chart, mixing up centuries, decades, names and languages and borders all at once.
I wonder wether Albert Einstein and Wernher v. Braun weren't present in the video. Both were german immigrants to the US and dramatiically changed the whole world of science.....

As a German, I think we often feel like we are not allowed to be proud of any part of our history. Or that we don't allow it ourselves out of fear it might be interpreted as national socialism.
Germans were extremely popular settlers in Medieval Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe as well as early modern Russia because they were very skilled and productive (=taxable!) and usually didn't make their culture anyone else's issue.

While living in Siberia for some years as a German a funny thing happened. I heard a lot of high praise for Germans building houses, being more orderly, etc. There was also a rumor about small "German" towns in the Altai. To be honest I mostly put that down on sweet talk and them trying to be flattering.
Then after two years being on a business trip I came to a place and there was a house named "pharmacy ", "townhall", the fences were standing straight!
I couldn't believe my eyes. It was very touching to see that after literally houndreds of years regardless to being deported by Stalin to the middle of Siberia in the forties the German-ness was still so obvious.
Many ethnic Germans from the Altai came back to Germany after the fall of the Wall. Many have settled here in Bernau near Berlin. So we hired a few Russia-Germans in our company. There was a funny situation when my old man had a lively chat with Waldemar (newly hired) during a company party:
Waldemar, where are you from?
From Barnaul.
I know, but from where in Russia?
Barnaul!
I know......we all live here in Bernau..but where in Russia?
BARNAUL!!!
Why am I actually telling this? Oh yes.....Photos from Waldemar. That's right, the houses looked original like they did here in Bernau 100 years ago. Flowers in the front yard, fences straight, everything freshly painted. Just like you said....:)
Yes, the Germans have given so much to the world. 2 world wars! With 100 million dead in Europe. Most of them murdered in genocides by this disgusting nation. Yes, this completely megalomaniac, mad, felonious, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation really gave the world a lot of very evil things. Like the SS, NSDAP, Nazism, SA, Hitler Youth, death camps, gas chambers, wars of extermination, genocides, massacres, Ethnic cleansing, collective expulsions, tortures, General Plan East for the genocide against all Slavic nations, Romani genocide, Holocaust genocide against the Jews, murder of millions through starvation, Enslavement of millions, Abduction of hundreds of thousands of children for Germanization, cruel human experimentation, terror bombing of cities, book burnings, intentional destruction of cultural heritage of other nations, art looting, deliberate destruction of cities. I could go on presenting the list of German gifts to humanity for a very long time. Although these are only the gifts of one era, because in the Kaiser era there were already genocides in West and East Africa at the beginning of the 20th century and they also criminally waged the First World War, including massacres against civilians by the German army in Belgium and Poland, and this criminal army also deliberately destroyed cities as early as the First World War. Yes, these are all wonderful gifts from the Germans to humanity. We should all be grateful for that.

Im a German who lived in different countries and even though I’m not a historian I learned that every country has it’s „darker“ parts in history. I was raised with a stamp of shame for being a German. My grandparents told me stories about the end of the war and how it was being raised in that time. It was a horrible part of German history. But that’s it. Thanks to videos like yours and my travels I learned that being German is not just bad. I think we should never forget and honor history. Learn from the good and bad. If we filter all of Germans past through the Second World War, it feels like the bad guys won.
I lived in Germany for a long time and can speak German without an accent. That's why I know the lies they spread to whitewash their own nation. One of the tactics the Germans use is the tactic of pointing with the finger at other nations with the assertion that they also committed terrible crimes. Like this German here, he also tries to whitewash the Germans with his shameless comparison with of Germans with other nations. Quote:...every country has its “darker” parts in history. In fact, this is a widespread tactic in Germany, in order not to make their own Nations history look so criminal and barbaric. The motivation is to spread the lie that Germans are actually equals among equals, nothing special with their history. I have experience with it! That's just a kind of falsification of history that this crimes were equal. But this tactic does not work anyway because there is a colossal difference between the Germans and the other nations. Nothing compares to the crimes of the Nazi nation. Also the number of victims! The crimes of the Nazi nation were unique in world history. The Nazi nation enslaved 20 million and also murdered many of the slave laborers through extremely hard labor and malnutrition. Hundreds of thousands of Polish children were kidnapped for the human breeding program and for slave labor. The Nazi nation also murdered or maimed many people through human experimentation. Germans started in a very short time various wars against various states largely with the aim of conquering the territories and exterminating the population there and enslaving a minority. Pure, insane, megalomaniac and utterly amoral barbarism! The Nazi nation committed various genocides which were partially committed on an industrial scale. They murdered tens of millions of people for racist reasons and for ethnic cleansing. The Nazi nation responsible for the death of some 65 million by the consequences of the war and the various genocides. What is decisive, however, is that they murdered millions of children in the process. That was unique in world history. So this damn completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation cannot be compared to any other nation. Nothing compares to the crimes of the Nazi nation. Also the number of victims! The crimes of the Nazi nation were unique in world history. That was a completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation!
The whole "everything leads up to Hitler" perception is actually it's own debate among German historians called the "Historian's debate" (Historikerstreit) or more precise "the special way (to national unity) debate" (die Sonderweg Debatte).
Having studied history in Frankfurt for almost ten years I'd say the whole idea is an inverted obsession the immediate post-war generation of German historians of Germany beeing "special" and thus perversely continuing the NSDAP idea of Germany beeing exceptional just in this case beeing Mordor for twelve years... "exceptionally evil" but exceptional.
I feel it's idiotic and has echoes of a gleefull, almost sexual, masochistic obsession with shame - "spank me hard oh history!"🙄.
But maybe that's just me, I also feel that Prussia was grossly and unfairly mistreated after the War... but then I am of Prussian- Huguenot descend... 😂

Very well observed, that obsession of large parts of the first generation of post-war German historians (as well as many social- and political scientists, they featured just a little less prominent in the eye of the general public) to make the Sonderweg-theory happen, and two successive generations of their doctoral students trying to preserve the legacy of the (mostly) men who educated them. Indeed a rather perverse inversion of the Nazi/Völkisch obsession with German(ic) racial excemptionalism. Another factor that should not be underestimated is guilt, though: if the descent into National Socialism was all but inevitable, because it was predetermined and set in motion by the actions of several generations of our ancestors for the last several hundred years, what could those those that lived through National Socialism have done to prevent it? Nothing! It was predetermined! No personal responsibility or culpability (aside from the very upper echelons of the Party and the Wehrmacht, who were all conveniently dead or locked away in Spandau by the Allies) to contemplate for the lucky ones who were now building shiny new upper-middle-class academic lives in the new Federal Republic. Especially not for erstwhile ardent little Hitler Youth members the likes of Hans-Ulrich (Wehler) and Jürgen (Habermas)...
A prime example of those kinds of people is Fritz Fischer, with his absurdly myopic, nowadays thankfully utterly discredited Fischer Thesis, patron saint of everyone claiming "if Martin Luther didn't already directly cause the 'Evil Germany' of Hitler, it certainly was Kaiser Wilhelm!": Fischer, who started out as a theologist(!) before switching disciplines, and joined the SA in 1933 and the Nazi Party in 1937, directly profited in the form of career advancement from the Nazi's ban of Jewish scholars and lecturers from academia. An utterly detestable hypocrite, who unfortunately received way too little flak for his 40-year-career of lickspittle opportunism during his lifetime. On the other hand - who was supposed to deal that out, when many of his contemporaries often had to contend with broadly similar biographies as well.

Refrigerators
In 1876, the German engineer and entrepreneur Carl von Linde developed the Linde process, which is fundamental to science and technology, as a purely physical cooling process. His invention made it possible to improve the reliability of the compressor and the entire refrigeration machine so that they became suitable for industrial use. Before that, there were only refrigerators in which blocks of ice from frozen rivers and lakes were stored over the winter, which were then used for cooling in summer... So, are there refrigerators in Germany? Yes, the world's first industrial refrigerators were invented right here...as was so much else.

2:30 its true. My father is a german from the city Akkerman, Basarabia, Russia from the Black Sea. Today its called Bilhorod-Dnistrowskyj an area between Ukrain and Moldavia. They were resettled to Poland during the war and had to flee from there to Germany. Those who failed were then resettled by the Russians to Kazakhstan. In their USSR identity card was written: Citizenship: USSR; Nationality: German.
In Germany they called Russland Deutsche (Russia germans).
an today they suck putlers dick. they arent real germans.
Amerigo Vespucci (9 Mar. 1451 to 22 Feb. 1512) -- an Italian merchant, navigator and explorer from the Republic of Florence -- charted large parts of the east coast of South America. In 1507, German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller named the double continent of America after him.

I do not want to start from the quality of work. In the past, 20-30 years ago, Germans always accused Poles of being "bunglers" as a prejudice... They can do everything, but nothing right. Today, Germans are more like that... "I'll get money at the end of the month anyway, why bother?". And I hate you Germans for that. This hypocritical!
Very few Germans still do their job with passion! Most of them are fucking lazy!
yes..if you do something, do it right or you do it twice
i was born in germany, raised, and still live here. for the longest time i felt bad being german because of the first half of the 20th century history. i have thought about it a lot, i really struggled with it, but i have come to a conclusion what "being german" is, atleast for me. when i do something voluntarily, i want to do it perfectly and atleast do it right. i like to argue and want to be right, and i mean not talking someone into something but convincing them. for me "being german" is "striving for excellence".
i see how some people with that feeling, with a hint of hubris and narcissm, and without self-restraint, can easily slip into a mindset that enables something like the third reich. its like most things: the extreme form is really bad but the basis has potential to be really good

Qingdao brewery was founded by Germans in 1903. Qingdao was a german colony from 1898 to 1914. The City Center of Qingdao looks like a City in Germany. Same houses like here in Germany. After the germans had left, the chinese continued to run the brewery and maintained and preserved the houses. Every time i'm there i feel a little bit like at home.

Like the UK with Hong Kong, Germany had until WW1 a autonomous colony in China. From 1898 to 1919 the city Tsingtau belonged to German Kiautschou colony. Germans dont wanted to miss their beer in Tsingtau and build there the Germania brewery wich still exists today under the name Tsingtao. The Tsingtao brewery is currently the largest in the world.
As a German and a hobby historian, the horrors of the era between 1933 and 1945 was an extension of pre-existing trends, though far from a certainty nor something that only could've happened here. So much of what has happened was modeled after earlier similar events, perpetrated by the Ottomans, the Americans, the Belgians, German colonial adminstrations... The list goes on.
And it should be noted that that's the duality of man, being capable of great works but also great evils. Look at the UK and its colonial legacy, the US and its treatment of Native Americans and African-Americans, Japan and its history. Just because Germany did abhorrent things doesn't negate the good aspects of German history.
the Reich did alot of great works too, however just as the rest of german history, the good things of the Reich are not told. Also the constantly "12 years of mordor" or "exceptionally evil" narrative is just ideological propaganda, because if you truly compare the crimes, america and the soviet union easily hold up, just as well as the british, or pretty much every other country does as well. While Nationalsocialism gassed jews, the Soviets starved 4 million ukrainians YEARS prior already and that really is just a small portion of the violence that came from the soviet union. Not to mention Crimes comitted by other Countrys like the Bengal Famine or Nanking Massacre.
Sprich deutsch du...

Wenn die Geschichte wenigstens wahr wäre. Die Geschichte wird von den Siegern geschrieben. Die Behauptung, daß es einen Holocaust gab ?
Es gibt genügend Beweise, daß die sogenannten KZ's lediglich Arbeitslager waren. Ernst Zündel, Fred Leuchter und viele andere haben die Beweise erbracht, daß niemand vergast wurde.
Dagegen starben Millionen Deutscher NACH 1945. Allein schon in den Rheinwiesenlagern in denen sie verhungert ,verdurstet und an den Folgen dieser "Behandlung" durch die Amerikaner gestorben sind.
An der Holocaust-Lüge verdienen die Juden noch heute. Und sie können jeden mundtot machen , der es wagt sie zu kritisieren. Dabei begehen sie schon seit Jahren einen Genozid an den Palästinensern. Und dieses Land wurde ihnen von den Briten zugesagt wenn sie es schaffen Amerika dazu zu bewegen in den Krieg einzutreten . Siehe Balfour Declaration.

A fun fact concerning the point you made about Germany being renowned for the quality of products. The label „made in Germany“ was actually introduced by the British in an attempt to protect their own markets from the imported goods. It backfired hilariously because the British people recognised the quality of the German goods and started to look for the label. The brand is Germany’s most important success in public relations to this day, so thank you Britain!
Another thing, both my family and my wife’s family were displaced from their homes after the war, because they belong to Czechia and Poland now. It happened to millions. My wife’s grandmother‘s family was actually very wealthy but lost everything except for the clothes on their backs. She passed away recently, having been almost 100 years old. She had a lot of stories to tell.
When I lived in Peru for a few years I visited the German/Austrian colony of Pozuzo in the Oxapampa Province.

Das zeigt aber in gewisser Weise, dass deutsche kolonisten nicht unbedingt unbeliebt gewesen sind.

Thank you, Mert, you are a very fair and open minded commentator without prejudices, preconceived notions and a stamped worldview.
What germans of today really hate is, when people of other countries think they can judge over their country, knowing only a little bit about a inglorious period of time, ONLY 12 YEARS!, where they had a blackout, whereas major imperialistic countries like England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Mongolia, etc.
have done crimes against humanity DURING CENTURIES!
And they have never paid for it, they have never regret it, excused for it, made amends! Even though they are so guilty.
It's high time they finally held accountable for all their crimes.
The Germans of today want HONESTY AND JUSTICE, they are fed up with the hypocrisy of dumb badasses which think they can judge about their grandfathers, whilst concealing and suppressing all the atrocities that their own countries had done.
This is in special directed to the warloving USA, that like that crank sort of making profit, by walking over corpses.
Genghis Khan for example killed 40 million...40 MILLION! The Mongols razed entire villages and killed the entire population (women and children alike) for not joining or aiding them And nobody cares...The vikings left a trail of dead bodies with their raids of northern europe and the UK. They slaughtered civilians, nuns and monks for "fun". Again no one cares...Americans using agent orange (chemical weapon) during vietnam war, which caused (and still cuases) harm in vietnam (still-births and disabilities). No one cares...Every nation on earth has blood on their hands and dead bodies in their basement. But only germany is beeing held accountable for theirs...And we are the only ones with enough backbones to admit and feel sorry for our mistakes.

German settlements, e.g. in Russia would often be complete villages to resettle devastated areas after war or famine and thus be culturally isolated. In the US Germans would mostly be farmers going west, living in again small isolated communities and so be mostly among themselves. This was promoted by the fact than some groups, like the Texas Germans came in organized groups, organized by rich aristocrats, who kept everyone together.
It should also be noted that the German language is one of the central aspects defining Germans, and thus central to German culture.

I (53) and German really grew up feeling very very very ashamed for my ancestors. So much shame, you cannot make it good anymore. Sad, isn't it?😢
I am german. And it is kind of odd.
I say: I am glad to be german and I am proud of our past and all the stuff the former germans invented the reaction is always the same. No matter where I am.
The others: You can't say that as a german. You are a nazi.
But when americans say that they are proud no one mentions that they have slain millions of native people. Which live in reserves by the way.
The reserve thing is like the time Hitler was ruling germany. He put Jews in ghettos. But when he did it is a big no no. But when americans do this it is... Normal? I mean... Wtf?
You are right my friend.
born in the previous mid century I grew up being utterly ashamed of being German. I have been raging against my parents why they didn't do something about it - not realising they have been children and teenagers in that time. But they where silent. They where also silent about that my grandfather very very quietly helped a very few Jews to escape which I found out about decades later. Travelling abroad I strove to speak English accent free in order not to be identifiably German.
Staying in a Johannesburg Hotel I met Israeli businessman (them not knowing I am German) the conversation went to Germany's guilt and reparation. What they said in a nutshell: very few speak about the Holocaust maybe only the old and orthodox ones, there was and is Antisemitism all over the world, actually in centuries past there was the least of it in the German speaking realm thats why so many lived there and Yiddish is so closely related to German . German guilt is a business asset therefore it needs to be kept going.
From extensive reading I found - the racial theory with all the horrible aspects was developed in England and found attentive ears in Germany as well. Concentration camps - developed from the Spanish-Cuban Ten Years' War, to the British Second Boer War and the Philippine-American War finally to Germany as well. How to implement Race segregation followed initially the USA-model for their African citizens.
My point of view: all of the different bits which came to this hellishly efficient head in Germany had their roots somewhere else. It is NOT an inborn German trait. And as far as responsibility for the most dead human beings in the 20th century is concerned - Hitler ranked 3rd. First being Mao, second Stalin. So, to point the finger at Germans makes it so much easier to overlook the own part in diverse atrocities

It will do us and our loved ones good to think of that once in a while.

Well, as you saw, the Germans changed the world with their inventions many times. Where we would be today without the German art of thinking.
Germany the land of poets and thinkers - that's how it was known (Actually)
The problem is that many Germans are not proud of their country and blood, unfortunately also because they were brought up that way. Because if you say anything to that effect, you will be called a Nazi. The problem is that many people don't have the right deep historical knowledge that people need to understand the world and and that only Hitler himself and his party were Nazis. Almost no German was a Nazi during the Nazi era. Also, any historian will tell you that the Allies, created Nazi Germany and WWII because of the unfair Versailles Treaty. Germans were so depressed that it is unimaginable for us. They were seen as evil around the world as they were blamed for everything in World War I. And when you have 3 kids at home, no job, money is worthless and no food and water you will follow anyone who fixes it. Because that's what the Nazis did in the beginning - they fixed everything and gave the Germans hope again. No German at the time could have known that Hitler was so crazy.
It's not as easy as we always think. Even in the Wehrmacht, only a few liked the Nazis. They were German soldiers dying for the country. the general German soldier, like my grandfather, had nothing to do with the Nazis and the Holocaust. You must consider this one army fought against the rest of the world. And if we are honest: what kind of "peace" could the general German soldier expect? What could have they expect after all the Nazi crimes and everyone thought that all Germans were evil Nazis. What "Peace" could they expect. These soldiers fought for their lives and German people against a planet. If even many of Hitler's own generals like Rommel (legend) or Stauffenberg knew that he was not quite right in the head.. Then the normal people knew that even more. Many were manipulated and could do nothing about it. The Nazis were a small parasite not the Germans. You can imagine the Nazis like a natural dark Parasite Rising from the suffering of the Germans. And the 'Problem' is that Germans are People who have a very special work and perfectionism mentality. That's not a weak enemy. Calling all German soldiers Nazis is like calling all American soldiers democrats because they were in power.
We should be prouder of ourselves, after all, Germany has repeatedly fought against the entire world, one time under a bad regime. We made this modern world possible and maintain a reputation for perfection and quality. The hard-working German with perfection in his blood! Or rather, we once had this reputation. Today there is no longer a country of poets and thinkers. We are still occupied by the USA. And people are manipulated and have no prospects. A dark age.
What I also find very interesting is that the Germanic people spread very far and are therefore the ancestors of many other people. Therefore, historians are not entirely sure how German the Germanic peoples were, but since they were the first to speak German and also created English, they were already German. In addition, the Germans were also the ancestors of the Vikings means Germanic mythology is almost identical to Norse mythology. Actually the same.
Thanks for listening 🥂
I would be in favor of not only teaching the Americans that Germany is the bad guy and that they really deal with it.
Most of the settlers who came to America at that time were German. Over 40 million. That's why the Americans have so many German names. That's why the Americans love German culture and are surrounded by it, but don't want to admit it. Every "your" fairy tale was recorded and reinvented by the Brothers Grimm, they were German. But the Americans didn't understand the original meaning behind the brutal children's fairy tales and weakened them. That shows you how stupid most of them actually are over there. It was always about raising children. If they have something on their mind and are afraid of it, they remember it. It also hardened the children. Even though we no longer live in times when war is normal, the world hasn't gotten any easier..
But that's why we're talking about Germany, the land of poets and thinkers, and not America. The Americans would be nothing without the German thinkers and craftsmen. The Germans always had these brilliant ideas.. Which makes me doubt whether they are actually all the same. Almost every big ami company or rich family comes from Germans. If you look at history and see that wherever the Germans went, something big happened. The world was then populated by German emigrants. But since there was no unified Germany or Germany in general at the time, there were only German states or kingdoms such as Austria, Bavaria, Switzerland. There was no national immigration. Just like in America. But something big was still happening everywhere Germans were going. All over the world I see people talking about German books and poems and the culture that shaped them as children. Tyll Ulenspiegel is an example.
I find it very interesting. We should talk about it and explain it.
You are the first one who make it clear. So many humans have only learned to limiting us to the third Reich. Chapeau. Thank you ❤️☺️

As a German, I am sad to see what we have become a synonym for today: 'legalized Korruption', Failed budgetplanning, imkompetent politicians and insane laws. As well as forcing depts on other countries all the while draining the "common working class people" of everything they still "own".
"Runs like a german train schedule" is still pretty accurate. Just the meaning did a "360° turn" (A.Baerbock) - meaning a 180 for the rest of the world.
A pretty sad but equally accurate assessment of the current day situation.

Hey we went further east and even taught the Japanese how to brew beer.
I think it is Saporo beer which got directly taught by a small brewery from Fuerstenwalde close to Berlin.
It's definetly the latter. The lead-up to WW1, the revolt of the Kriegsmarine in Kiel, the subsequent 'abdication' of the Kaiser and the Formation of the Weimar Republic, already on the cusp of a Civil War at it's inception and paired with the humiliation at Versailles with the EXCLUSIVE moral fault to the war (like litterally, the fault to a War that had many fathers was laid solely upon the conscience of the german people) and with the follow of deprivations, excesses and tumultous times of the Roaring 20s all of which lead to the rise of Nazism with all it's terrible rammifications in the time from 1933 to 1945.
It was a pretty wild rollercoaster ride alright?
German design language has a strong influence on the modern world. For example, the iPhone, or the entire design of Apple goes back to simplicity and efficiency of Bauhaus design. Dieter Rams was the mentor of many of today's successful designers.

It's really funny, I'm from germany and I didn't know the most of these things. It's interesting to see something that you won't get teached in german school, so there isn't something special i didn't know. I just know that the Kindergarden is also an german invention. Also a lot of philosophers and scientists (like Einstein, Luther, Beethoven, johan Gottlieb) are from germany and a part of the alchemy have his roots in germany. I also have to say thanks, it often feels like you will called "nazi" after you told someone that you are from germany. Have a nice day everyone

As a german, it is heartwarming to see, that lots of ppl. from outside germany, appreciate our old culture and influence. While our own politicians destroys everything. Germans today live in a invisible golden cage. You're not allowed to say you're proud, bc than you're a nazi. These ppl. do everything to make the germans fall silent. That's why I say, maybe after 3 or 4 generations nothing to be proud of is left over. Culture dies, language dies, respecful human beeing dies, quality dies, good doctors well they don't all die but lot's of them left the sinking ship. I can tell by watching this downward spiral for about more or less 30 years now. Tbh most germans I know aren't even able to talk and write correctly in their main language... Btw. sorry for my english, I guess it's a bad quality example as well.
I must agree with you, sadly...Over half of german 9th grade students doesnt speak or write proper german. Our politicians work against us and silences (calls you a nazi or conspiracy theorist) us if we dont agree or share their opinion. Media is scaremongering and based/ not independend (and likes some "gifts" from politicians). Nepotism, brib...uh "Lobbyism" and elitism are common. Germany is basicaly a oligarchy (Rich/ Powerful minority ruling). I love democracy...The last good politician was Helmuth Schmidt. Berlin nowadays is just the biggest asylum (or clown show)...

Honorary mention to Great Britain for giving the world "Made in Germany" labels xD
There is an interesting conversation/studdy one could try to do about how german settlers/imigrants managed to keep a lot of their cultural heritage (language, architecture, traditions, etc) while also managing to integrate into the new country/society over time and largly avoiding the generational split/disconect that many other ethnic groups ended up trapped in over the centuries. It seems that especially in the last 30 or so years, we got rising numbers of mixed-ethicity youth, especially in america, batteling with the conflict of not knowing where they firt in. But it seems most previlent in groups like asien-americans or afro-americans. Despite america having many towns who's population where originaly german based, I haven't seen the same problem come up with "german-americans" (Hell, I haven't even heard anyone use that term before to describe themself or others! For all I know, it doesn't exist as a real term the way "afro-american" does!). It would be interesting to see a scholar take a stab at history to see if they can find out why that is. Becouse there has to be SOMETHING that coused that difference in outcome!
Maybe it starts with the fact that "German" is a nationality, not an ethnicity. Secondly, if you don't count the native people, white Europeans were the first to emigrate and build the US. If you also add historic slavery into the mix, I'd say it makes a lot of sense for African Americans to have more questions about their identity than European Americans.
@@huananina your first point is incorect. German is an ethnicity, the enticity of germans. Nationalitys are, acording to the definition google gave me (becouse I wanted to make sure), "the relationship between a person and the political state he belongs to or is afiliated with".
Ethnicity referes to "shared cultural characteristics such as language, ancestry, practices and believes".
So considering your first point was alredy wrong, that puts your other points of center and makes them less "trustworthy" (for a lack of a better word)
Budweiser indeed changed over time, as did the others. During prohibition, the 2-3 largest brewing companies were able to produce products they had lobbied to remain legal. Most of the other beer and liquor producers went under. After prohibition, these companies used strong arm tactics and lobbying for regulations to prevent other companies from being able to compete. That dominance of the market would continue up into the 21st century, when things like microbreweries and brew pubs were finally legalized and able to compete. During the time that the major American breweries had no domestic competition, their quality decreased decade by decade. There's actually a similar story in American coffee companies. When they eliminated all competition they went o the cheapest most poorly made product that could still legally be called coffee. Because Americans literally had no other choices.
i think there is a difference between being integrated and keeping up language and tradition and on the other side keeping it and refuse to integrate. most countries back then profited from german immigration. most immigrants today (from a german perspective) bring no benefit to the country, they are more likely seen as cost factors and trouble makers. but this is no matter of times we live in. italians and asians are well integrated even today in germany. there are zivilizations that fit and others that dont fit together.

I heard about that in my birth town Freiburg im Breisgau the Name America was invented. But I never new if this is true. But it looks looks that the Freiburger cartograph Herr Waldseemüller 1507 thought Amerigo Vespucci discovered the continent and therefor named the new continent America. You can see it on pictures of his map.
6:11 The map was made 1507 from Martin Waldseemüller (1472/1475 -1520) He was born in Wolfenweiler im Breisgau and studied maths and geografic in the University of Freiburg im Breisgau. At the campus you can see a copy of the map. The last original was sold 2001 to the USA. It was a special approval necessary because it was a cultural property of Germany. Now it is in the Library of Congress.

Just some thoughts to your opening question: what we have learned and experienced together in the last 3 years, that all countries, people and cultures can drift from enlightened free countries to fascistoid tyranny in a matter of weeks. Have we learned from German history? History does not repeat itself, it rhymes! I am still shocked by the fact how easy it is to exclude and tyrannize people....
The Germans contributed significantly in whatever region they decided to immigrate to. The locals benefited from them and most were proud of them though few got jealous of them.

As Mussolini became more and more aligned with Hitler, Austria's independence was over and Hitler was able to annex the country to the great approval of the Austrian population.

You learn about the "German settlements" partly in history lessons (for example: Volga Germans, Transylvanian Germans, settlement of Prussia), others you can also learn from television documentaries: for example: "Die Welt op Platt".

Being a Dutchy and yet being of German ancestry (since 1752 in The Netherlands) I do recognize this item. Many many true Dutch families turn out to be of German ancestry, whether they like this or not. A fact after all is a fact. See WW2 is never far away in daily life here in The Netherlands, although WW2 already is 80 years ago. For the generation which actually was in WW2, it often was a traumatic experience which gave many people PTSD and besides soldiers many common people as well. The same common people whom were trying to raise a family in this horrific era suffering of PTSD and all and so creating a newly born generation in WW2 or slightly after WW2 being exposed to PTSD parents and a PTSD society. The people growing up in WW2 are called first generation war victim and the children this first generation war victim raised are called second generation war victims (born in the late 40's, in the 50's, the 60's and even the 70's) , since they had to deal with their PTSD parents and PTSD grand parents, and all other people suffering from PTSD ( Family like aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, anybody) since such a grand war will leave a huge impact in any society. These are the consequences decennia after a war people were not in themselves and yet they struggle with the direct or indirect consequences of this war.
This is the reason why some people in 2024 still can react strongly negatively to German people, Germany, the German language, but they do prefer German products: household items (kitchen, washing machine, coffee maker, etc.) and of course they prefer to have a German car in front of their door. The duality (originating from PTSD trauma) of rejecting the country, the language and the German people, and yet coveting German products is characteristic. Even today (2024), some young families are not free from PTSD and raise their children with such a duality between rejecting and desiring people and things of German origin, which for example at football matches between The Netherlands and Germany will come to the surface again.
my grandmother would also be chased back to germany, although they owned a farm for centuries
While the "made in Germany" label was originally a British designation to make it clear that these were shoddy German products compared to fine industrial products of the British empire. And in the beginning of the industrial revolution that was even true. Germany simply wasn't a united nation yet, lacked standardized tools and regulations. While the British were among the first with working, reliable, powerful steam engines. This drove up British productivity. The central regulations demanded by both parliament and the British crown made certain that norms for production abd quality were established. However, the Germans of the time quickly cottoned on and sent students into GB to study (and copy) their technology. Soon after the first railroad with a steam engine had been built in Britain, German engineers pretty much copied these designs and built their own train from Nürnberg to Fürth. The same happened for other British inventions. They were often copied, but with the knowledge of their first iteration flaws German engineers were given a chance to improve on them. While the "made in Germany" label was originally intended to make certain that the British could easily discern them from until then superior British products, it quickly got a label of exceptional quality. Because Germany simply couldn't cope with the masses of products the British industry could churn out. So Germans went the other way: smaller amounts but exceptionally high quality. Once that label started to stick, it became a runaway snowball. Even when some German products were objectively not as good, they were still flagged under the now top quality label of "made in Germany".
But here comes something of a kernel of truth: Germans do tend to be tinker with machinery, until they are happy with the quality. Good enough is rarely what a German finds acceptable. So even objectively worse products were regularly given a functional make-over, until they became better.
Second part: the number of Germans able to read due to the many printing presses was already a lot higher than in many industrial countries back then. With the old guild system of setting up long lasting training regimes for apprentices, engineers came with a very high degree of knowledge and understanding of the principles behind the machines. Not only the basic understanding how to operate a machine by turning this knob, then pulling that lever, in a certain sequence, but the actual function of each individual part as a whole.
That's when German engineering took off. That label of "made in Germany" being a top quality sign lasted for roughly 100 years.
In the last two decades it has however fallen behind. Not that German products aren't okay to good but they've lost their seeming untouchable quality label. Not that such a seeming untouchable quality was ever warranted.
What kind of story have you written?
I can not stop laughing. OmG.
This is so funny!
Sounds like the swiss watch industry. They were top of the line until the first quartz watches. The japanese watches industry almost killed the entire swiss one. Until the swiss started to specialize and deviate to high quality and luxury watches, because the brand itself sells already.
But, function-wise, a Casio for 20 pounds already has an accuracy, which puts a lot of expensive watches to shame.

The funny thing is, that the anglo saxons who moved to the island and founded England brought their germanic language forming a new dialect "English" of ancient German developing to a new language but is very close to modern German still.,
By your logic modern German is also only a dialect of it. People tend to overgeneralise Germanics with Germans. Both Engllish and German have the same roots, but developed differently. English did not start from German, but Proto-Germanic. Same as German did.
@@Schwachsinnn I never said anything else. You are the one confusing it while reading. I said germanic language/ ancient German, i never said English started from modern day German. And also yes modern German is a dialect (i don't know what you mean by "only"), it's not like there is an original German everyone spoke and is more of a language than the dialects. In every language there were only dialects. It is that at some point (for communication reasons and with the forming of nation states) an official dialect was chosen or created with the help of existing dialects. So is High-German, which is based on Mid-East to High-East dialects.
@@pyrointeam It was not German, but GermanIC, which was spoken back in the day when the Anglo Saxons left and started to develop English. North Sea Germanic, which is a dialect of West Germanic to be specific. Later on the West Germanic "English" was influenced heavily by he North Germanic (which has its roots in Scandinavia) and then by the romanic language French.
@@Schwachsinnn Read carefully please, i said they brought their germanIC language. There is no discussion that i said that. when i refer to ancient german i refer to the group of all germanIC languages. modern German (with all its dialects) developed from Old German (with all its dialects) which developed from ancient german (with all its dialects) which developed mainly from (besides other influences) the indo-germanic languages. There is no such a thing as two languages GermanIC and German, German IS germanic, it developed slowly over time with many influences, you can neither say at this point indo-germanic became germanic or at this point it became german, we are speaking languages here not tribes, nation, states and politics. Changes in that can happen over night, while languages develope slowly and consistently. Nor can you make a noun out of an adjective and declare it something completely different.
Danke!
What is lost in this video is that many of the people mentioned had a predominantly Jewish identity instead of a German one, even though they came from Germany and spoke German. We have many similarities, but are also very different. You can see it in the language, most of them spoke (and still speak) Yiddish, which is a mixture of Hebrew and German, and I'm able to understand much of it with no issue. The evolution of language that happens along migration is a very interesting topic in general.
You should take a look at the history of German Imigrants in Chile more than 160 years ago, and theyr influence in society, as laws, firefighters, army, police, health system, education and almost "terraforming" in the south of the country. You'll be surprised! Best regards.

My history teacher always said that 31 years of history (1914-1945) destroyed almost 1000 years of German culture - in my opinion, this is a bit too simplified, but the core statement also has a lot of truth. I think the culture of remembrance about our darkest parts in history helps to hopefully not repeat it.
Somehow we Germans are strange folks. Hard-working, dutiful/penitent/orderly sometimes to the point of ridiculousness, but also belligerent (if you follow our politics) and grumble at a very high level about every little thing. 🤭I also didn't realize before all the reaction videos on yt how positively Germany is viewed abroad.
Nice video! What accent is that, scottish or irish? It's perfect for telling stories imo and I could listen all the time. Greetings from Germany ✌
Yes we gave the whole word a sozialamt. Where everyone just can come and steal our money…. Thats fucked up
Just if it´s not in the video but the sewer system of New York which i think still is the same, was also invented by an german. I only know that because it was one of my relative great great great grandpas. But i know they are not the nowaday standard. Sorry if i have some mistakes in writing here, can´t write every word correct.
They almost brought worldpeace to the whole world, two times!
Germans never existed the same as Britains. The governments, the politics, the geostratical situation created a history. The warcrimes and crimes against humanity commited from "Germany" should teach everybody that we always have to fight for human rights and protect them at all costs.
Britains are Germans too x) Look deep into history... Now you can hate your self too :)
mimimi...
i dont need germany, i see the war crimes of britian and usa are going on just last 20 years to tell me so . not sure what a old historical event should help here , england and usa went into 53 attack wars and killed far more than 250 million men in other nations since ww2 so yea, you guys killed more than stalin and hitler together and you keep on doing so :) is that why you love hitler ? so you can go on keep on terrorise the world and feel like nothing wrong with it ?
"The warcrimes and crimes against humanity commited from "Germany" should teach everybody that we always have to fight for human rights and protect them at all costs."
the question is why Germany is always used as an example when it comes to war crimes and crimes against humanity. there should only be a few countries on earth (or have existed) that have not committed war crimes etc. in their history. Russia alone was responsible for far more deaths before, during and after the Second World War (not including fighting soldiers) than Germany in the Second World War. but Germany is always and only taken as an example. Why? Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way trying to downplay Hitler, his followers and their atrocities, but I'd like to know why people keep pointing the finger at Germany and how bad they were when many of those countries were just as bad.
The story about the Monks wich created the first accurate world map and named America ist pretty interesting. Worth looking into.
I live where Hermann sent the Romans home. It is terrible that 11 years under Hitler have almost erased the memories of thousands of other years.
My Heart melting right now as a german.
You took a complicated subject, Sir. But I trust your instinct as a Scotsman... with a kind of ACDC spirit behind you... give me some days for answering :)
When you‘ve been asked where you‘re from in holidays as a german there is always that answer that they know a famous German - Hitler…
Me, a german: oh well let's find out *grabs popcorn
Also Thailands biggest beer brand Tiger Bräu has German founders. But what is interesting, is the chart he used here, showing Netherlands, Belgium and Germany shows the borders like 1937, but using The spelling of local city names like before WW 1, Like Cassel, wight is Kassel for over 100 years now and there is even Elberfeld, which was in the 1900s a city of knife manufactures, and machine construction, and the Birth Place of Karl Marx. And Elberfeld is now a part of the City of Wuppertal , i think for over 100 years already, and never to be found on German maps. Then there are Braunschweig and Köln named with the english "translation " Brunswick and Cologne. What a mess of a chart, mixing up centuries, decades, names and languages and borders all at once.
Tsing Tao come from a former German province. That is why.
I wonder wether Albert Einstein and Wernher v. Braun weren't present in the video. Both were german immigrants to the US and dramatiically changed the whole world of science.....
My Grandfather (Prof. Dr. Dr. Mario Zippermayr) was one of 5 chief Science Head of department under the leading from Wernher v. Braun in Penemünde and the US searched for him to bring him to the states. He fled in the mountains of lofer. To bad. He should have gone with the US and probably would have become a very rich scientist!
Einstein, i dont know, but Wernher von Braun...oh boy...his backround is "controverse"😅
@@randompotato2894 Yes, you're right. Perhaps not someone to be proud of.. V 1 & 2, Peenemünde and all this... but this doesn't change the fact, that he is of german origin and one of the "fathers of the modern space age"... - and, to be fair ... the US government had no problems to integrate him as a rocket scientist - DESPITE of his inhuman deeds in pasture....
If you tried in 1945 to erase all people from germany, that accepted working for or collaborated with the NAZI criminals, germany would have been a very "empty" place.....
Greetz
Lincoln
@@lincolnsixecho51 i totally agree
almost every city in germany has at least one brewery in a basement somewhere
About the quality, it isn't alway truth. For example windows or sofas are made in Poland but is sold as German quality. Often theres only a sticker with 'Designed in Germany'😢
You know that this will be good the moment you see Thomas Sowell in the title. 😀
I did not know about how the Name Amerika came about! But I heard once that a Jewish German Guy named Goldfish founded a Film Company and changed his Name to Goldwyn and Mr Mayer was also of German offspring..
hey .. if someone allready has mentioned it in here, im sorry, couldnt find some about it.. so ...
almost one of the first things the speaker tellin is that german laguage is older than english??
ah.. no.. actually its not... not even the history is, for your history includes also the history of them pictens.. if i spell that right?
well ... about english.. the language actually IS german.. sorry if i shock u guys but yes.. it IS..
english actually is the language of the saxxons, who called them selfs angelsachsen.. and they were speakin angelisch ( engelish ) .. and ( see your guys history ) congoured a big part of your island, what they called angel land ( the land of the angel saxxons ) what became angelland, angland, england... in wich the people were speakin angelisch, became anglisch, became anglish, became english over the generations... and that is what you guys are speakin now... to really be right... your english is even more german than our german is today.. cuz your language stayed more original than ours , influanced by the romans and french a lot ...
you still can tell today.. for if you know or speak dutch... it sounds kinda mix of german n english .. but is not... its just an old german, geolitic near at the region where the saxxons came from.. so.. it is not a mix of both.. its more the nearest language to the mother of them both, eglish n german..
i hope i didnt mess that up tooo much, with my bad german, uh angelisch, uh motherstoung... uh .. da hell *rofl
So what I've gathered from this video:
If you want a good beer, ask a german
As a German, I think we often feel like we are not allowed to be proud of any part of our history. Or that we don't allow it ourselves out of fear it might be interpreted as national socialism.
Tsingtao was the city and the bay of the colony was Kiautschou.
