It’s not their fault there parents were on the losing side. NOTE , losing side not any other named side. History is always written by the “victor” painting himself the hero and everything else the devil
yeh like the himmler one, i feel like she got shaped by her father, okay thats awfull but i feel like enough time passed to know the reality her father did...
That's just what it means to be human. And why we shouldn't call Nazis monsters. Because if we dehumanise them we forget how these disgusting and inexcusable crimes against millions of innocent people have happened and we won't be able to prevent them if they happen anywhere in the world.
Albert Speer also had a daughter who ended up living in a hippie commune and completely distanced herself from her father and his deeds. Her son. The grnadson of Albert Speer lives very close to where I live in Denmark. And he is complately opposed to what his grandad did and has very humanist views.
this is only logical, except some of them tho... some are so indoctrinated from a young age they still support their parents in death while others naturally will resent them. i also wonder if the himmler child also had childeren im pretty sure if thats the case they would view everything different.
Albert Speer marriage failed, and he grew increasingly distant from his family after 1933. He refused to see any of them after a while. There was no bond, so naturally it would be easier for them to completely distance themselves from him.
These children didnt see monsters, they saw fathers and mothers who loved them. Its incredible difficult for a child not to love their parents, even parents that abuse them. So even when they become adults its difficult to turn your back.
You say that but my father abused me and I still hate him for it even now long after he died. If you haven’t experienced something don’t pretend to be an authority on the subject.
@@CodPatrol Are you projecting your own story? Because we are talking about children here, who where young when their parents died, I don't see how they were supposed to communicated any sense to anybody.
My great grandfather was a prisoner of war, and travelled between the many work camps as the highest ranking anglican vicar on the continent. It deeply scarred him, and led him to being a bitter, and at times cruel, man who never talked about his time in the camps. I can't imagine how hard it must've been to reconcile a beloved father with a horrific nazi. His son, my grandfather, ended up marrying a woman with a long jewish heritage, and was thus conveyed down to me. I have sympathy for innocent children, but I have more for the children who died, and those who were made to experience horrors they should never have been made to see.
My brother (65yrs) told me recently that a friend at school had told him his father was a war criminal, a high ranking SS officer. He had changed his name and managed to escape to Australia. My brother tried to find out who he was but was never able to.
These children see a very different side of these individuals. They see the ‘happy family’ life. I think a lot of them are in denial of what their parents did, because to fully acknowledge their actions, would be beyond life-destroying.
Right. And children can inherit a lot of character traits, weaknesses and even mental issues - I mean look at Edda Göring's face, she looks just as nasty as her father.
Or perhaps these children saw their parents for who they truly were and you're viewing them from the lens of WW2 allied propaganda that is based on one unsubstantiated claim after another and outright fabrications of history?
I don’t see why a person couldn’t just say that their parents perpetrated great acts of evil but could also be a loving parent. Humans are complicated and I also don’t think we really learn from the mistakes of the Nazis when we continually act like they aren’t human. You and me are capable of the same acts of human suffering that the Nazis enacted. Society could very easily slip back into this demented ideology if we continue to think that we are immune from the same mistakes.
@@macree01For the same reasons children, who get abused by their parents, choose to stay, protect and/or defend their parents. Children and Parent dynamics are very complicated, psychological and evolutionary structures and therapy wasn't really an option post war germany. Also, they were fully or partly raised in a land full of propaganda. Many, many germans had a very hard time to accept that all this wasn't real, but many got the reality check to being directly involved in the war (by fighting or being an civilian without access to food, shelter, etc.), while these children often were safe and at least well feed.
Niklas Frank the only child of a former Nazi who not only grappled with his parent's past but fought to educate people on the atrocities of the Holocaust. Sad only Niklas had the moral compass to recognize the atrocities produced by the Nazi regime.
God bless all involved in the horrible atrocity . A man who believed the master race could only be created by a short man that led a nation of people to horrible crimes.
You may be correct, but I heard that several of these children verbally criticized their fathers' actions...whether this was done for expedient reasons after the War...I don't know? Grandfather (not mine) Krupp, the steel magnate, made armaments for the Kaiser in WWI; Alfred Krupp made the WWII armaments for Hitler . He received a prison sentence, but did not serve all of it ( I think) (Russians had us "spooked")! Alfred started his foundaries back up and become one of the World's First Billionaires! However his Son "walked away" from all of this...instead of taking over from his Father (for noble reasons, or because he was already "stinking" rich, I don't know)!
It "helped" that he was only a child when his father died. Lots of children who were still young distanced themselves from their Nazi parent while those who were already grown-ups, had a bigger connection.
That must be so hard for the kids of the Nazis to comes to terms with what their fathers did. This is someone whom they loved and were loved by... and they were horrible monsters. I can see why some of them defended their father to the end. How does one reconcile the two: Evil monster vs. loving parent? And even if they could, they would still be hounded by it the rest of their lives.
I visited Auschwitz, huge concentration place for Jewish who were imprisoned by NAZIS, I saw the gas chamber too where children & mothers were told to shower; but they were gassed naked. Such horrible, despicable, demonic NAZIS.
i can’t see how anyone could defend their nazi father until the end. i literally cannot imagine finding out my father has killed multiple people and then deciding bc he chose not to kill me, we’re cool. like no. a monster is a monster.
Albert Speer Junior was my Professor at Kaiserlautern University for Town planning and City design the things he did and taught where completly different than his fahters conception of architecture. He always put the individual human being in the center of his designs, not like his father whos desings that made you a small part of the NS machinery.
if theres ONE aspect of the third reich i simply commend and enjoy, then its albert speers "romanticism of steel" architecture. that dude knew how to express POWAAAAAAAHHHH. world capital germania was quite quite a sexy idea. too bad it would have been built and founded on the exploitation and mass murder of eventually BILLION people. BUT thats exactly where my positive feelings for the third reich start and end.

No. I hope you do not drink or eat or wear ANY products harvested or manufactured by underpaid or poorly treated people as well as children since that would make you a bigot.
Very interesting thank you for this video! May I give you a suggestion? The music seems to get louder during the video, drowning out the narrator's voice a bit too much 🙂
I found the music way too loud and distracting - I couldn't finish the video because of it. The history is interesting, and well done, so why ruin it with loud music??
I don't blame the children and I understand that they loved their parents and saw a different side of them. However, there's something mentally wrong with the ones who continued to uphold their parent's acts as being positive.
I guess, but in the same hand, those Nazis knew what was going on. They fully knew if what they did was so bad, it was going to impact generations of their bloodline. Who are we to spare these monsters fate. F em
And had they won they’d had been born at the top of society. Crazy that they had two completely different futures and got the one where their parents became criminals instead of heroes
Thanks for this. I have occasionally wondered what happened to these children after the war and in the years that followed as they became teenagers and adults, how they thought and felt about their respective fathers and their part in the Reich.
Martin Bormann Jr. had a car accident in 1969 and was hardly injured and during his time in hospital he meets a nun she took care of him and both fell in love. 1971 both were released from their solemn promise to be able to marriage.
Das muß doch schrecklich gewesen sein, mit diesem Gesicht rumlaufen zu müssen - jeder hat es sofort erkannt und fast jeden hat's geschaudert. Das hat man ja nicht so häufig, das die Tochter dem Vater so ähnlich ist, aber die sah wirklich aus wie Papas Führerscheinphoto. Andererseits hat sein Bruder Göring so gar nicht geglichen.
This is interesting info that I didn't know. I find it interesting that Himmler's daughter spent her life trying to redeem her father's reputation. How could anyone be that obtuse?
It seems no one wants to talk to the Germans who were children during the war and how it impacted them. I've known a couple of Germans who were children during the war. One told me of riding in a wagon with his mother's body in a coffin/box in the back to the cemetery. She'd died during one of the bombings. He was about four years old. He come to America and became a resident. He got drafted and reported for the physical and testing. At then end, a SGT from WWII told him he was not going to be inducted. Seems, he had seen enough war, the Sgt said. Then a women who lived through the bombings. When ever she would start to talk about it, she would just cry. I never pushed her to talk about it.
The war was just painful for any human being. I sometimes think about all this lives which ended due to an idiology, no matter which side. They all (even the german soldiers) were men and women which had their own life and dreams. What would it have been without this time in their life? My Grandma recently told me that my 12 years passed away great grandmother was on the edge of starving after war, only eating one slice of bread for a day. I dont know if she supported the regime back then. She was born during WW1. Life must have been very rough for normal citizen.
German kids were brought up the same, they even had a kids army called Hitler Youth. They were training them to be soldiers my Dad has a friend that was in Hitler Youth as a child he must have learned a lot growing up in Hitler Youth because as an adult his nickname was Rambo.
@@YEALANDS2024Soldiers AND impregnating the young girls. Everyone forgets how pedophilic the Nazi’s were. One minute your daughter is gone for a week at camp, the next she’s pregnant with some Nazi officers baby. They even had baby factories, no joke. They would force women into these “health centers” to impregnate them (rape), force them to give birth, adopt out their babies, and repeat the cycle. Nazi’s are the definition of fucking evil to the point it’s cartoonish like.
I’m a descendant of one we lived in Chile with other German families. We also had relatives in Argentina, my great grandfather was in the SS he come over on a UBoat my grandmother came over in a passenger ship a year later. Chile and Argentina population have a significant amount of German blood.
Grassyknolldallas: You should try and reverse the evil years spent by the Nazi’ murdering the innocent, by supporting those who suffered, would be more altruistic..in your own life.
@ThomasPercy45 "Then they hold just as much responsibility" , no they don't wtf. One is actual war crimes committed, the other is "i have the stupid beliefs of my parents with none of the power, as the entire world agree that the Nazi belief is pretty wild. You have the logic system of a teenager. (which you are)
I do not think it is possible to move on completely, but it is possible to change your name. You still would not be able to hide everything, but it's a start at a different trajectory.
One of the kids was born in 1944. The war ended May 1945. All the kid would have known as he got older that his father was an evil man. He changed his name and and moves to another city or country and apart from his family no one has any idea who his father was. Most likely no one in his circle has any idea about it either. A newly born did not chose his or her parents, the name and also did not chose the country of birth. One can disown the parents and change the name and the country one lives in. There is no law that one has to burden oneself with the history of one's parents or the history of the country one is born in. I am actually surprised that they all apart from one did not change their names.

But them defending their parents so staunchly is insane. Yes, their parents might have been nice people in private but they committed dispicable crimes that should be openly condemned by everyone, including their own children
Right. You can love someone while still holding them accountable. My father was a cheater and I never tolerated it. He wanted me to accept his affair family, but I refused. He was shocked and bitter because his father was also a cheater and men being unfaithful was just tolerated. My aunt even semi-excused it because my grandmother was not very loving. I was disgusted! I have no regrets of holding that boundary.
I worked with a nephew of a powerful Nazi member (the member of the party was covered in this video). He was deeply ashamed of his uncle's deeds, and only brought it up to those with whom he was close. The person I worked with was as far removed from his uncle's views as possible; he married a woman who isn't white and raised several biracial children with her. He was quick to call out racists he encountered. Out of respect to him, I won't name him, nor his uncle.
@ 1982, The B.B.C. did a documentary on this and the tragic fates of the children. Some committed suicide, or became doctors to save lives to compensate for the crimes of their parents. One became a monk, others decided not to have children so that their family line would become extinct. These were victims as well. What of Albert Goerring, the brother of Herman who saved lives during the war and detested the Nazis.

I think people's ignorance makes them forget that not every bad deed is always carried out by a bad person. Parents who love their children and children who love their parents. It's not absurd for a child to wish that the world would see their fathers the way they did.
In the mid 70s my father met a high-ranking Nazi in the middle east, it was a business meeting, but when my father realized who the man was he talked about everything but business (my father was a textile engineer, helping build up a textile industry in Bagdhad). The man was the one who arrested Graf von Stauffenberg (who tried to assassinate Hitler in 1944). Funnily enough, when I served in the military, I served in the Graf von Stauffenberg base.
@johnwhite5485 Oh that was the one and only time they met, there was no business my father was interested in. Later my parents lived in Baghdad cor some time, where they also met some rather interesting high ranking personalities. Must have been crazy back then.
Its nice to see today more folks getting into ww2. I was 5 years old when I got my first book on ww2 in 1970, about the battle of Okinawa. It was my dads ww2 1st Marine division history. He fought on Okinawa in 45 and spent 10 years in the Marines from 44 to 55. Now I am a vet too of 23 years and my kids are too. they are into ww2 and also combat vets too. Plus I have been collecting militaria since i was 5 when I got my first item an original German decal helmet. Now I have so much its insane.
50 years ago, my grandfather fought in october 6, 1973. He was a general for launching missles in Egypt and he took down fighter jets by his own missles.
...a person with an obsession with WW2 and an avid and proud collector of militaria must have a deep rooted mental imbalance;....you said it yourself :-..... 'Now I have so much, its insane'.
I grew up in Germany and am 65 years old...i was too young to witness it first hand, but endured the aftermath...when all the hellish atrocities were made known.
It's truly wild how people assume the Nazi's were loving, jovial people to their families. My ancestor was an SS officer and my entire family is so entrenched in abuse and psychopathy I have changed my name, got plastic surgery, and estranged myself from them all. The children of Nazi's, from my experience, run the home like a concentration camp and try to promote authoritarian ideals to the detriment of their children. The abuses I endured were abhorrent, denied food, proper sanitation, denied privacy, and most of all, safety. I was beaten, strangled , and screamed at daily by the equally nazi daughter of a dead nazi officer. A killer isn't as friendly as housecat once at home and their children are either just like they were or entirely broken as I am. I am relieved to report I am willfully estranged from them all, sterilized, and no one from my generation is fertile.
Thanks for your story. It still a choice whom you become. I'm telling this as I also grown up in nightmare that you will not wish for anybody among psychopaths. And I'm a strong empath as I wanted to save my ability to feel no matter what is a price
@sanagul-origin5412 Of course it is! I became clergy:) I'm an old lady now in my 40s, my negative experiences have shaped me to be compassionate towards others. One empath to another, Just always make certain to put on your own oxygen mask first!;)
Some years ago I remember reading about an elderly lady who was a relative (granddaughter, niece or ??) of Lenin and there was a picture of her and him taken in 1922 before a series of strokes would render him invalid. I thought wow what a link to history even if he was not a good man.
Stalin’s granddaughter owns a shop up in Seattle, denounces her grandfather, and is a socialist. Amazing woman. I recommend visiting her shop it’s perfectly curated.
My wife is from Serbia, the daughter of a military officer and veteran of the Yugoslav Wars, who is now my father-in-law. To this day, he still speaks proudly of his wartime service and refuses to acknowledge that the Serbian military committed any war crimes (blaming any transgressions on local militias and paramilitary groups), yet shows no remorse for the non-Serb victims of the conflict. Whether he actually participated in any of that war's terrible atrocities, I cannot say for sure, but honestly it would not surprise me if he did. However, I also see that he is kind and loving to his own family, and his children idolize him - especially my wife, who was inspired by him to seek out a military career for herself (of which I am very proud, of course). She always speaks highly of him and his heroic actions during the war, and strives to attain the same level of recognition in her own service. If it should come out that he did partake in massacres such as Srebrenica or Prijedor or Foča, would that change his family's perception of him? I cannot say for sure, of course. But I don't think that his children would distance themselves from him either way. They might not even have much sympathy for his victims - the atrocities of that conflict were a mutual exchange, and the scars still run deep for all involved parties. As for me... well, my wife is the most amazing, inspiring and supportive person I have ever met, and I would not trade her for anything in the world. Even if she is indeed the offspring of a war criminal, or even supportive of one - that does not change the person I fell in love with.
Stalin mass murdered 60 million people but because he was with the Allies he was never held accountable nor his henchmen 777,975 judicial executions for political charges from 1929-53, including 681,692 in 1937-1938, the years of the Great Purge but they punished the Nazis more than they ever did Stalin 60 million to 11 million which is the bigger number. Japanese military regime murdered nearly 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most probably almost 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war. So why were only the Nazis singled out not the rest?
How old is he? It reminds me of my pro-Russian mother who defends whatever Russia has done to their neighbours, not only the current war in Ukraine but even all the horrible things Russia or USSR has done to Finland, Georgia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and the rest, which I find it absurd. Being with someone's side doesn't means that you have to glorify everything they have done.
I mean..how many American/British soldiers fully admit to the warcrimes they committed? This is a general thing. And th Yugoslav civil war was one gigantic clusterfuck of mutual atrocities on all sides, even if the we in the West did decide that the Serbs were to be the prügelknabe due to their historical ties with Russia.
I know someone who s father was married into a very high ranking Nazi family and had 2 children. The family all took themselves into the next world and took the children with them.

Fascinating video, I'm not sure if I expected the offspring of some of histories most famous Nazis to agree or disagree with their parents views and actions, it was fascinating to hear the paths they took. Thank you for this thought provoking video.
So you say Gudrun Himmler was the only child of Heinrich Himmler? What in your mind happened to his two other children, Helge and Nanette then? He had only one daughter with his wife, and then had two children with his secretary....he also had a foster son. But you say he had only one child, why is that?
Most likely those other kids made sure that their connection never became public. Change of name and location and keeping a low profile. Since their mother was not married to their biological father his name would no have appeared on the birth certificate. It wasn't the 21st century. In those years I suppose an an unwed mother was the only one recorded on the birth certificate.
I was not aware Rolf Mengele had contact with his father after his father escaped and was aware of where the monster (for once the word is accurate) was hiding in South America. Really changes my perception of him.
Your a spineless piece of shit 😂 that's the guys father no matter what he did at the end of the day you only got one father I bet your American use don't have no family values since the Brady brunch gimp
These adult children's guilt must be mitigated with the unfortunate circumstances of their birth and the times they were born into. Some had the strength to confront the truths others were consumed by them. They all did the best they could with what they had to work with.
Well most of Adolf Eichmanns 4 kids inherited their fathers anti semtism and they defended their father despite him being one of the main architects of the Holocaust. Eichmanns youngest child Ricardo however acknowledged his father’s crimes and denounced him. In addition Ricardo rejected his father’s racist Nazi views and accepted that his dad’s execution was justified due to how Adolf Eichmann was responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people. Ricardo even met with Zvi Ahorni who was one of the Mossad agents who helped capture his father. Ricardo also has two children of his own.
Children are always innocent of the sins of their parents. It's understandable that some of them demonstrated unwavering loyalty to the fathers. They were not exposed to the monsters they were, but to loving and devoted dads. These children didn't deserve the curse bestowed upon them.
The reason why their defending them in a lot of cases. That's all they knew. That'd how they grew up. So for them it must be very very difficult to wrap their heads around not only what their dad's did. But what a lot of family members did as well.

God bless all involved in the horrible atrocity . A man who believed the master race could only be created by a short man that led a nation of people to horrible crimes.
@@evajawidzk2068 I think - I hope! - you didn't mean that God should bless the people who perpetrated the atrocities, because that's the way it reads.
You may be correct, but I heard that several of these children verbally criticized their fathers' actions...whether this was done for expedient reasons after the War...I don't know?
Grandfather (not mine) Krupp, the steel magnate, made armaments for the Kaiser in WWI; Alfred Krupp made the WWII armaments for Hitler . He received a prison sentence, but did not serve all of it ( I think) (Russians had us "spooked")! Alfred started his foundaries back up and become one of the World's First Billionaires! However his Son "walked away" from all of this...instead of taking over from his Father (for noble reasons, or because he was already "stinking" rich, I don't know)!
Yes, its so scary. My grandma went to school with his sister. So weird being so „close“ to a person like that
It "helped" that he was only a child when his father died. Lots of children who were still young distanced themselves from their Nazi parent while those who were already grown-ups, had a bigger connection.
Goring's daughter is the spitting image of her father wow. Same eyes and facial expressions.
Let me tell you about a little something called "biology"
@@Mark-xh8md Sometimes these characteristics skip a generation though. My child looks much more like her grandmother than either of her parents.

Good video! I do have one point of criticism tho, the music in the last 3 minutes was way too loud. Besides that, really interesting.
That must be so hard for the kids of the Nazis to comes to terms with what their fathers did. This is someone whom they loved and were loved by... and they were horrible monsters. I can see why some of them defended their father to the end. How does one reconcile the two: Evil monster vs. loving parent? And even if they could, they would still be hounded by it the rest of their lives.
@peacenow42 You mean for being complicit?
I visited Auschwitz, huge concentration place for Jewish who were imprisoned by NAZIS, I saw the gas chamber too where children & mothers were told to shower; but they were gassed naked. Such horrible, despicable, demonic NAZIS.
i can’t see how anyone could defend their nazi father until the end. i literally cannot imagine finding out my father has killed multiple people and then deciding bc he chose not to kill me, we’re cool. like no. a monster is a monster.
They were in many cases brainwashed into that filthy ideology.
Very well said...an incredibly tough position to be in...definitely not deserved.
Albert Speer Junior was my Professor at Kaiserlautern University for Town planning and City design the things he did and taught where completly different than his fahters conception of architecture.
He always put the individual human being in the center of his designs, not like his father whos desings that made you a small part of the NS machinery.
If things went well for Al and the Nazi war machine, Junior here would still be employing slave labor.

world capital germania was quite quite a sexy idea. too bad it would have been built and founded on the exploitation and mass murder of eventually BILLION people.
BUT thats exactly where my positive feelings for the third reich start and end.

I found the music way too loud and distracting - I couldn't finish the video because of it. The history is interesting, and well done, so why ruin it with loud music??
The music was terrible and so loud.
I don't blame the children and I understand that they loved their parents and saw a different side of them. However, there's something mentally wrong with the ones who continued to uphold their parent's acts as being positive.
Agree
Actually they can be childrens of other parents! Only name could have taken or may be they are chemical product
I guess, but in the same hand, those Nazis knew what was going on. They fully knew if what they did was so bad, it was going to impact generations of their bloodline. Who are we to spare these monsters fate. F em
Imagine coming into the world with that burden on your shoulders because of what your parents did.
And had they won they’d had been born at the top of society. Crazy that they had two completely different futures and got the one where their parents became criminals instead of heroes
Thanks for this. I have occasionally wondered what happened to these children after the war and in the years that followed as they became teenagers and adults, how they thought and felt about their respective fathers and their part in the Reich.
Martin Bormann Jr. had a car accident in 1969 and was hardly injured and during his time in hospital he meets a nun she took care of him and both fell in love. 1971 both were released from their solemn promise to be able to marriage.

It seems no one wants to talk to the Germans who were children during the war and how it impacted them.
I've known a couple of Germans who were children during the war.
One told me of riding in a wagon with his mother's body in a coffin/box in the back to the cemetery.
She'd died during one of the bombings.
He was about four years old.
He come to America and became a resident.
He got drafted and reported for the physical and testing.
At then end, a SGT from WWII told him he was not going to be inducted.
Seems, he had seen enough war, the Sgt said.
Then a women who lived through the bombings.
When ever she would start to talk about it, she would just cry.
I never pushed her to talk about it.
Спасибо за часть истории рассказанной вами🙏🏻
The war was just painful for any human being. I sometimes think about all this lives which ended due to an idiology, no matter which side. They all (even the german soldiers) were men and women which had their own life and dreams. What would it have been without this time in their life?
My Grandma recently told me that my 12 years passed away great grandmother was on the edge of starving after war, only eating one slice of bread for a day. I dont know if she supported the regime back then. She was born during WW1. Life must have been very rough for normal citizen.
German kids were brought up the same, they even had a kids army called Hitler Youth. They were training them to be soldiers my Dad has a friend that was in Hitler Youth as a child he must have learned a lot growing up in Hitler Youth because as an adult his nickname was Rambo.
@@YEALANDS2024Soldiers AND impregnating the young girls. Everyone forgets how pedophilic the Nazi’s were. One minute your daughter is gone for a week at camp, the next she’s pregnant with some Nazi officers baby. They even had baby factories, no joke.

You have the logic system of a teenager. (which you are)
I do not think it is possible to move on completely, but it is possible to change your name. You still would not be able to hide everything, but it's a start at a different trajectory.
One of the kids was born in 1944. The war ended May 1945. All the kid would have known as he got older that his father was an evil man. He changed his name and and moves to another city or country and apart from his family no one has any idea who his father was. Most likely no one in his circle has any idea about it either.
A newly born did not chose his or her parents, the name and also did not chose the country of birth. One can disown the parents and change the name and the country one lives in.
There is no law that one has to burden oneself with the history of one's parents or the history of the country one is born in.
I am actually surprised that they all apart from one did not change their names.
It is a shame, to see such loss of life, may there souls rest in peace. Humans need to learn from past mistakes and not to repeat.

Sorry to say you start right off with a mistake. Himmler had a mistress that he fathered 2 children with. She was Hedgwid Potast.

I can understand loving your parents. We know them differently than the rest of the world, but I cannot understand defending such monstrous actions.
Not all children are raised to think for themselves.
Right. You can love someone while still holding them accountable.
My father was a cheater and I never tolerated it. He wanted me to accept his affair family, but I refused. He was shocked and bitter because his father was also a cheater and men being unfaithful was just tolerated. My aunt even semi-excused it because my grandmother was not very loving. I was disgusted! I have no regrets of holding that boundary.
I worked with a nephew of a powerful Nazi member (the member of the party was covered in this video). He was deeply ashamed of his uncle's deeds, and only brought it up to those with whom he was close. The person I worked with was as far removed from his uncle's views as possible; he married a woman who isn't white and raised several biracial children with her. He was quick to call out racists he encountered. Out of respect to him, I won't name him, nor his uncle.
@ 1982, The B.B.C. did a documentary on this and the tragic fates of the children. Some committed suicide, or became doctors to save lives to compensate for the crimes of their parents. One became a monk, others decided not to have children so that their family line would become extinct. These were victims as well. What of Albert Goerring, the brother of Herman who saved lives during the war and detested the Nazis.

I think people's ignorance makes them forget that not every bad deed is always carried out by a bad person.
Parents who love their children and children who love their parents.
It's not absurd for a child to wish that the world would see their fathers the way they did.
In the mid 70s my father met a high-ranking Nazi in the middle east, it was a business meeting, but when my father realized who the man was he talked about everything but business (my father was a textile engineer, helping build up a textile industry in Bagdhad). The man was the one who arrested Graf von Stauffenberg (who tried to assassinate Hitler in 1944). Funnily enough, when I served in the military, I served in the Graf von Stauffenberg base.
I think
You spelled his name wrong it’s Claus von stauffenberg
Shit never mind you spelled it right dude has a long name
Upon realizing who it was how did your father handle the relationship going forward?
Graf just means Count, which is what he was. So he got it right, in fact.
@johnwhite5485 Oh that was the one and only time they met, there was no business my father was interested in. Later my parents lived in Baghdad cor some time, where they also met some rather interesting high ranking personalities. Must have been crazy back then.

Its nice to see today more folks getting into ww2. I was 5 years old when I got my first book on ww2 in 1970, about the battle of Okinawa. It was my dads ww2 1st Marine division history. He fought on Okinawa in 45 and spent 10 years in the Marines from 44 to 55. Now I am a vet too of 23 years and my kids are too. they are into ww2 and also combat vets too.

It's truly wild how people assume the Nazi's were loving, jovial people to their families.
My ancestor was an SS officer and my entire family is so entrenched in abuse and psychopathy I have changed my name, got plastic surgery, and estranged myself from them all.
The children of Nazi's, from my experience, run the home like a concentration camp and try to promote authoritarian ideals to the detriment of their children. The abuses I endured were abhorrent, denied food, proper sanitation, denied privacy, and most of all, safety. I was beaten, strangled , and screamed at daily by the equally nazi daughter of a dead nazi officer.
A killer isn't as friendly as housecat once at home and their children are either just like they were or entirely broken as I am. I am relieved to report I am willfully estranged from them all, sterilized, and no one from my generation is fertile.

Would be interesting to hear about the Children of Lenin, Stalin, Chruscow, Kol Pot, Idi Amin and many other mass murders...
Stalin's daughter wrote a book about her life. She deflected to America, the back to Russia, then back to America.
Some years ago I remember reading about an elderly lady who was a relative (granddaughter, niece or ??) of Lenin and there was a picture of her and him taken in 1922 before a series of strokes would render him invalid. I thought wow what a link to history even if he was not a good man.
Stalin’s granddaughter owns a shop up in Seattle, denounces her grandfather, and is a socialist. Amazing woman. I recommend visiting her shop it’s perfectly curated.
Fascinating and well done.
My wife is from Serbia, the daughter of a military officer and veteran of the Yugoslav Wars, who is now my father-in-law. To this day, he still speaks proudly of his wartime service and refuses to acknowledge that the Serbian military committed any war crimes (blaming any transgressions on local militias and paramilitary groups), yet shows no remorse for the non-Serb victims of the conflict. Whether he actually participated in any of that war's terrible atrocities, I cannot say for sure, but honestly it would not surprise me if he did.
However, I also see that he is kind and loving to his own family, and his children idolize him - especially my wife, who was inspired by him to seek out a military career for herself (of which I am very proud, of course). She always speaks highly of him and his heroic actions during the war, and strives to attain the same level of recognition in her own service.
If it should come out that he did partake in massacres such as Srebrenica or Prijedor or Foča, would that change his family's perception of him? I cannot say for sure, of course. But I don't think that his children would distance themselves from him either way. They might not even have much sympathy for his victims - the atrocities of that conflict were a mutual exchange, and the scars still run deep for all involved parties. As for me... well, my wife is the most amazing, inspiring and supportive person I have ever met, and I would not trade her for anything in the world. Even if she is indeed the offspring of a war criminal, or even supportive of one - that does not change the person I fell in love with.
Stalin mass murdered 60 million people but because he was with the Allies he was never held accountable nor his henchmen 777,975 judicial executions for political charges from 1929-53, including 681,692 in 1937-1938, the years of the Great Purge but they punished the Nazis more than they ever did Stalin 60 million to 11 million which is the bigger number. Japanese military regime murdered nearly 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most probably almost 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war. So why were only the Nazis singled out not the rest?
But to some people here who are even more socially unintelligent than Mr. Bean, this makes you a war criminal by association.
How old is he? It reminds me of my pro-Russian mother who defends whatever Russia has done to their neighbours, not only the current war in Ukraine but even all the horrible things Russia or USSR has done to Finland, Georgia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and the rest, which I find it absurd. Being with someone's side doesn't means that you have to glorify everything they have done.
I mean..how many American/British soldiers fully admit to the warcrimes they committed?
This is a general thing. And th Yugoslav civil war was one gigantic clusterfuck of mutual atrocities on all sides, even if the we in the West did decide that the Serbs were to be the prügelknabe due to their historical ties with Russia.
Yikes. Imagine staying with a sympathizer. You’re just as bad.

Fascinating video, I'm not sure if I expected the offspring of some of histories most famous Nazis to agree or disagree with their parents views and actions, it was fascinating to hear the paths they took. Thank you for this thought provoking video.
So you say Gudrun Himmler was the only child of Heinrich Himmler? What in your mind happened to his two other children, Helge and Nanette then? He had only one daughter with his wife, and then had two children with his secretary....he also had a foster son. But you say he had only one child, why is that?
Most likely those other kids made sure that their connection never became public. Change of name and location and keeping a low profile. Since their mother was not married to their biological father his name would no have appeared on the birth certificate. It wasn't the 21st century. In those years I suppose an an unwed mother was the only one recorded on the birth certificate.

Most of them had children; it would take a thick book to tell how each of them did post-war. But it would be interesting!
Well most of Adolf Eichmanns 4 kids inherited their fathers anti semtism and they defended their father despite him being one of the main architects of the Holocaust. Eichmanns youngest child Ricardo however acknowledged his father’s crimes and denounced him. In addition Ricardo rejected his father’s racist Nazi views and accepted that his dad’s execution was justified due to how Adolf Eichmann was responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people. Ricardo even met with Zvi Ahorni who was one of the Mossad agents who helped capture his father. Ricardo also has two children of his own.
Children are always innocent of the sins of their parents. It's understandable that some of them demonstrated unwavering loyalty to the fathers. They were not exposed to the monsters they were, but to loving and devoted dads.
These children didn't deserve the curse bestowed upon them.
Nah, man. If my dad did this I'd tell him to go make like Hitler.

The reason why their defending them in a lot of cases. That's all they knew. That'd how they grew up. So for them it must be very very difficult to wrap their heads around not only what their dad's did. But what a lot of family members did as well.
it's not rational or reasonable to blame somebody for something they didnt do, even if they are a blood-relative of the perpetrator
It would have been good to learn more about Manfred Rommel, son of the desert fox.
He was the Mayor of Stuttgart for many years. He was very friendly to us American soldiers when I was there in the mid-80s.
He was a pretty prominent figure in Stuttgart and German politics overall. The Stuttgarter International Airport is named after him.
