    It also amazes me as to how many people go on about how bad the Nazis were ( as I agree they were bad ) but turned around and did things just as bad. I wonder how many liberals would approve of taking a child from its mother because mommy wasn’t a lady or made poor choices in her younger years.
    I have read many books over the years and have seen documentaries over the antisemitism that many countries have had even back in WWI. Also of the many atrocities that occurred in the days following WWII. I often think why was that never mentioned in history classes when I was a kid.

      Melly Kidd and how many children are separated when parents or parent is arrested for committing a crime? So what’s the solution put the children in jail with the parent or just look the other way and allow people to commit crimes because they have children? I don’t have a solution to the problem. But I do hate to see children having to suffer. The only solution I can come up with is perhaps parents or would be parents use their heads and not put their children in these situations. I know that’s just wishful dreaming in that most people who commit crimes know they are doing so and yet they don’t care. What I can say is my Uncle legally immigrated here from Peru South America and my Grandmother along with my dad, who was 9 at the time, legally immigrated here from Europe. My Uncle is pretty vocal on his thoughts against illegal immigration and has been since I can remember. Like I said, I don’t have the answers other than there is a right way to do things and a wrong way. I just don’t feel kids should have to suffer because their parents went about things the wrong way.

    Dear Simon,
    though I know, you are only the presenter, but what's wrong with the counting in this essay?
    The "Second Reich" or as we call it the "Kaiserreich" lasted from January, 18th 1871 to November 9th, 1919, 58 years, 9 months and 22 days are not exactly over a thousand years?! The Hohenzollern dynasty in Prussia was part of the Holy Roman Empire, you can't count them double, do you?
    Then again the Nazi dictatorship lastet for full 12 years (not eleven) from January/March 1933 [depending on whether you count Hitler's installment as Reichskanzler (aka Machtergreifung) or the parliament agreeing to the "Ermächtigungsgesetz"] as the starting point and May 8th 1945 with the conditionless surrender by Dönitz as its final day.
    Otherwise very intersting. Even I as a history-affine German didn't know all the presented facts about this horrible "programm".
    And when you look at all the big-shot Nazis, most of them wouldn't have passed Lebensborn-requirements - such a schizophrenic program.

    The Hohenzollern Prussia dominated 2nd German Reich did NOT last 1000 years. It began in 1870 with the defeat of the 2nd French Empire at Sedan and lasted until 1918. The 1st German empire began in 800AD and lasted until Napolean ended it in the 1806 AD. .

      My stepmother had an Uncle who was indoctrinated young to be a Hitler youth. After WWII his family moved to the United States and started to become Americans, except for him. I never met the man, just heard stories through my father. It seems that my stepmother's uncle was such a Hitler lover his entire family disowned him, moved back to Europe leaving him the states for the rest of his sad lonely life.

      ​@@chelseachargerHimmler told his soldiers to fratanize with ariyan women as much as they could and make babies which Fridas father did. I would be willing to bet she was not his only Norwegian child. You didn't have to be born in a home to be considered lebensborn.

    • @chelseacharger
      @chelseacharger 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Vikinggirl1679 We've been over this before. Yes, German soldiers were encouraged to fraternise with Norwegian women but that was not in the Lebensborn program. That program had been set up and run by the SS, the devout believers in Nazi ideology and the 'master race'. Those SS members had to prove their own ancestry. The women who were selected to bear children had to prove their 'pure blood' too. You might think that all Scandinavians would meet the criteria but that is not true. The Sami peoples in the North of the Scandinavian Peninsula were not classed as 'pure' and anyone with a ancestor from the Sami people would be rejected. Frida's father was a regular soldier with a wife and baby daughter back home in Germany when he was sent to Norway. We can speculate all we want about his intentions but he gave the Lyngstad family his true name and photograph's of himself. In none of the biographies of ABBA or Frida is there any suggestion that he fathered other children when in Norway. It is known that on his last visit to see Frida's mother before he was evacuated, he cycled 25 miles from Narvik in the middle of the night, through snow to see her. Then rode the way back before his ship sailed in the morning. Sounds like he cared for her, to cycle alone in the night when there were Norwegian Resistance units about. When he was found to be still alive in 1977, he denied any knowledge of Lebensborn and that it was simply a genuine love affair. The point is, the Lyngstad family had no contact with the Lebensborn program. In fact, there was no program for most of the pregnancy because Germany had already lost the war. Frida is a 'war child' like hundreds of thousands of others born from liaisons in WW2.
