Guy N D, I know about all that stuff, except for the gas vans being invented in Russia - but so what? The fact that Lenin and Stalin were mass murderers doesn't mean that everyone was just as bad as the Nazis. I certainly don't think it's OK that the Red Army raped German women, but that happened after the Germans invaded Russia and massacred people there. The war was cruel and terrible, but certain groups were more brutal and terrible than others. Don't go thinking that everyone was the same. They weren't.

On the surface, Leuchter’s forensic findings could appear convincing, however they do not stand up to scrutiny. Leuchter was not looking for hydrogen cyanide gas residue in the gas chamber bricks. He was looking for ferric-ferro-cyanide or Iron Blue which he assumed would form when the cyanide in the gas reacted with the iron in the bricks of the gas chambers. He believed the walls of the gas chambers consisted of ordinary, unprotected bricks, so he thought the hydrogen cyanide gas would have been in direct contact with the bricks, making it more likely that Iron Blue would form. He could not tell that the brick walls had been coated with cement. The remains of this cement coating can still be seen in Crematorium II. This coating would have protected the bricks from the gas, making it less likely, if not impossible, for the cyanide to react with the iron in the bricks and form Iron Blue. Now... add onto that the fact that a Polish forensic research team gathered and processed evidence directly from Auschwitz. Their findings revealed the presence of cyanide.

It's ironic that the uniforms for all the Nazis were designed by Hugo Boss, and the people who worked for him were actually American Jews. Truth is really stranger than fiction.
stan broniszewski That is not entirely ironic given that a job would entail a means to survive and place food on the table. You gotta do what you gotta do to survive.
I've just subscribe to this channel after you mentioned it in one of your other videos. I found it very interesting and your narration makes it all the more so. I'm surely going to spend the day binge watching as many as I can, because I know that I'm going to learn so much stuff from them that I otherwise would not have known.
@@Heidenspross Treu dat. The folks behinds these videos are as bad as the History channel for falsities. Almost as if they were lying on purpose to deceive the world... 'coughjewscough'.
Really enjoying these short biopics of some of the world's most famous and infamous characters throughout the ages. Nice work, team. A wonderful teaching aid for myself and my family, too......
Think you could make some World War I biographics? I feel like not enough people tall about that interesting period. I find it extremely unique because of the large number of accounts and the colliding on modern technologies in warfare.
What's really interesting to me is that most of the higher up Nazi officers clearly had serious mental illnesses which would probably show up even if WW2 never happened and yet this guy sounds like more of an overzealous cop that wanted to be the best at his work. He partook in and organised all these monstrosities but in a different era and place he would probably be a successful stock broker or CEO like a lot of high functioning psychopaths and sociopaths that don't end up doing anything more serious than maybe a small white collar crime. I think circumstances play a big role in the direction of our lives and the scary part about all this is that most employers would line up to hire an intelligent but obedient man who never questions his higher ups and is very efficient at what he does so the perfect employee of today could have been a ruthless leader, a war criminal or even a war hero if born in another era.
Simon u should be a history teacher really,I've been subscribed for years on TopTenz though,history is my favorite subject,im really obsessed with WW2 but you got me to enjoy more,thank you
I just found and subscribed to your channel yesterday!!! My husband and I are criminal history enthusiasts and have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos!! Excellent job!!
You should really cover Nancy Wake. She was the NZ/Aust woman that fought for the french resistance in WW2. Her code name was the white mouse and Muller couldn't catch her. She spoke at my school when I was 15 and I never forgot her. The stuff of movies.
+Petra van Hoften : Yeah, he butchers the language a lot. However, he did a lot better in pronunciation on several German words than he did in the past - so I gotta give him some props for the improvements. Albeit he pronounced Helmuth and other things, he has got a few of them pretty accurate. 😃
You can see him at work in one of his trials; go to Wikipedia/Roland Freisler, I did. The boy was a complete bastard. Even his fellow Nazi's hated him.
Hi Simon! Thank you so much for doing thorough research; it makes your videos very interesting and teaches things that most people wouldn't know from high school history. I have a suggestion for a future video, if you would be interested. Can you do a video about Simone Arnold Liebster? She wrote the book "Facing the Lion" about her life as a child in Nazi Germany and I 10/10 recommend you read it, even if you don't do a video. It gives a new perspective on what that time was like for normal people. Thank you for listening!
Which came first... is not an example of a question with no answer. Aristotle asked the question and then gave the answer. Hint: Plato’s Theory of Life. It was definitely the chicken. The chicken did not necessarily lay the egg, that is not at all the point.
It's a small thing, but it was "RSHA", not "RSMA". It was an abbreviation for "Reichssicherheithauptamt". Also, "Sipo" meant "Security Police", not "Secret Police". Still, these are generally very well doen video's and it's always good to see someone passing increasingly unknown knowledge on. :)
@@HardcoreTristesse Indeed. They began as a small off shoot of the SA and turned into a multi- tentacled organization that had its claws in almost every facet of German life, as well as that of the conquered and oppressed territories.
Hardcore Tristesse. Quite right! I've always preferred the translation "guard echelon", as they started life as a small group (12, I believe) of personal body guards for Hitler. He may have been confused by the fact that Heydrich was in charge of the SD - the intel department of the SS.
@@klackon1 Well, getting the SD wrong as "Secret Service" would still be the same mistake as in Sipo, due to SD standing for Sicherheitsdienst, or "Security Service"
This reminds me of how amazing I found the police work in Fritz lang's great classic movie, "M". The police investigating the series of child murders finally get close to the suspect and visit his apartment to search for clues while he's away. The suspect returns unsexpectedly and the cops run and hide. They run and hide! A few years later, the Gestapo would have broken down the door, drag the suspect away and torture a confession out of him. what a difference a few years made. It's just so difficult to comprehend. The Gestapo even imprisoned famed rocket pioneer Wernher von Braun because, at a party celebrating the success of a rocket test, he made a toast that said that instead of London, they should be aiming for the Moon or Mars. von Braun got rescued by an Army General who went to the Gestapo headquarters and, more or less, told them that, while he understood how they liked to kill people, if they killed von Braun,there would be no one to build the Fuehrer's rockets and he would be most displeased. The Gestapo let von Braun go but told him to give their regards to hs wife and kids. Point taken!
@@shawngilliland243 The movie, "M" is by. Director Fritz Lang. I don't know if he based it on a real case but the police procedures that he shows were pretty normal until the Nazis took over
@@shawngilliland243 Oh, if you mean the Von Braun incident, I got it from a documentary on his life. I think that it was called, " Man, Machine, Moment". That is, when all three Ms coincided to make history.
jmchez, I have seen Fritz Lang's "M", and it is shocking if police procedures depicted there were the norm. Wow. I know that the German Kripo (criminal police) enjoyed broad support from the German people, unlike the State Political Police ( Geheime Staatspolizei - the Gestapo), which all sane Germans feared and many detested.
Hi Simon, I always thoroughly enjoy your videos. Concise, informative, important and interesting. Also - i've been using backblaze for quite some time now and it's an extremely good and actually rather inexpensive service so a shout out to those guys as well. Thank you for all the content, much love to you and the team! :)
Not to glorify the atrocities just some food for thought; how far back would we be in technology if it wasn’t for Hitler? It’s a shame it takes war or a threat of war to push us ahead in technology. The space race, the arms war, WWII, without these events in history the technology we have now might not even exist yet. The groundwork for most of the technology we enjoy today was laid or sped up exponentially because of these events. If we lived in perfect harmony from the dawn of time would we even have rockets, Cellphones, Nuclear power, The internet? It’s an interesting question.
All of Beria's prisoners were led down the staircase of the Lubyanka and shot in the basement. All behaved stoically without a whimper. Beria when led down the stairway begged for his life and cried like a baby before he was forcefully pressured to kneel to be shot.
i like how both Germany and Russia attacked Poland only days apart, but the allies declared war on Germany and allied with Russia, that was a neat trick, still can't figure it out.
I grew up near cologne and they have there the old gestapo HQ as a mix between museum and art room. We visited it with my history teacher and for example you can read old letters of people living in nazi germany cologne (one of the more tragic ones was a nazi brother denouncing his communist brother to the police so he gets killed), go into cells under the building (which are very claustrophobic) and go to the place behind the building which is now an artwork with mirrors placed on the walls (the place was used to hang a lot of people). The historian in me was very curious but it was a little bit scary, not gonna lie.
Born in 1953, in the UK, not many years after the war ended. My Grandfather gave his life August 1918, my Dad age 3 never had a father. To this day I cannot understand why the same nations went to war just 21 years later
A well covered story in 21 mins. Fluent and rich in detail. Thank you. Nazis teach us one thing properly. They showed you may talk but you also need to deliver. A lot to learn for our politicians.
I really don't think that you would like to learn this from the Nazis. There is a big difference between exploiting the people into promising them work to build their war machines and uterly bringing forth death on an unimagined scale and promising something that has no negative effect on others. There where more lies an false hopes coming frome the nazis than from any other politician.

You're right. SS was NOT a "Secret Service". The SS later had the "SD" - Sicherheitsdienst - Security Service. The German "Secret Service" was the "Geheimestaatspolizei" - Secret State (as in national) Police. Known more simply as the Gestapo. There was certainly nothing secret about the SS.

@@WolfvineGaming so he traded quality for quantity
THE BRAIN SPECIALIST He kinda traded quality for quantity, I wouldn't be surprised if this video also has false or wrong info.
My father knew EVERYTHING about World War II. I wish I had listened to more of his history lessons when he was alive. I've been thinking a lot about his knowledge of history (particularly the Second World War) and have been doing some research on the things that he enjoyed researching when he was alive. I knew most of this about Muller from my father, but I am loving all the information that I am getting. Of course, I fear history repeating itself. My country (America) is heading in this direction.
It's ironic that the uniforms for all the Nazis were designed by Hugo Boss, and the people who worked for him were actually American Jews. Truth is really stranger than fiction.
It's shame that such talent. Was used in the making of barbaric organisations like the SS and Gestapo.
Silver thread was used.
it really is.
@Persona nongrata whoever did made the most amazing uniform in history
stan broniszewski That is not entirely ironic given that a job would entail a means to survive and place food on the table. You gotta do what you gotta do to survive.
Simon is one of the few people on TH-cam that I can watch the advertisement at the end and still be entertained
I like the picture of George Lincoln Rockwell, unfortunately it was taken sometime in the 1960’s and really has nothing to do with the NSDAP.
Almost as good as using a picture from a scene in Schindler's List at 12:03. Recognize Ralph Fiennes with the dogs?
Good catch.

@@shebbs1 and who are you to talk for "everyone" else?
I've just subscribe to this channel after you mentioned it in one of your other videos. I found it very interesting and your narration makes it all the more so. I'm surely going to spend the day binge watching as many as I can, because I know that I'm going to learn so much stuff from them that I otherwise would not have known.
I'm REALLY liking this channel. One of the best on TH-cam easily. Keep it up!
sure if you like bad pronounciation and rightout false statements...
@@Heidenspross Treu dat. The folks behinds these videos are as bad as the History channel for falsities. Almost as if they were lying on purpose to deceive the world... 'coughjewscough'.
Really enjoying these short biopics of some of the world's most famous and infamous characters throughout the ages.
Nice work, team. A wonderful teaching aid for myself and my family, too......
Think you could make some World War I biographics? I feel like not enough people tall about that interesting period. I find it extremely unique because of the large number of accounts and the colliding on modern technologies in warfare.
Yes ww1 vides
What's really interesting to me is that most of the higher up Nazi officers clearly had serious mental illnesses which would probably show up even if WW2 never happened and yet this guy sounds like more of an overzealous cop that wanted to be the best at his work.
He partook in and organised all these monstrosities but in a different era and place he would probably be a successful stock broker or CEO like a lot of high functioning psychopaths and sociopaths that don't end up doing anything more serious than maybe a small white collar crime.
I think circumstances play a big role in the direction of our lives and the scary part about all this is that most employers would line up to hire an intelligent but obedient man who never questions his higher ups and is very efficient at what he does so the perfect employee of today could have been a ruthless leader, a war criminal or even a war hero if born in another era.
Simon u should be a history teacher really,I've been subscribed for years on TopTenz though,history is my favorite subject,im really obsessed with WW2 but you got me to enjoy more,thank you
Maybe you should rename the channel "Today in Sociopaths". hehe
Great work. Enjoying these very much.
I just found and subscribed to your channel yesterday!!! My husband and I are criminal history enthusiasts and have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos!! Excellent job!!

You should really cover Nancy Wake. She was the NZ/Aust woman that fought for the french resistance in WW2. Her code name was the white mouse and Muller couldn't catch her. She spoke at my school when I was 15 and I never forgot her. The stuff of movies.
Another great historical video. Thank you for your effort. We appreciate.
Fegelein is pronounced Fay-guh-line, not Faggelin 😉
+Petra van Hoften : Yeah, he butchers the language a lot. However, he did a lot better in pronunciation on several German words than he did in the past - so I gotta give him some props for the improvements. Albeit he pronounced Helmuth and other things, he has got a few of them pretty accurate. 😃
Sister Spooky True! Got to give him credit though.

Hitler's Executioner Roland Freisler please make a video on him.
You can see him at work in one of his trials; go to Wikipedia/Roland Freisler, I did. The boy was a complete bastard. Even his fellow Nazi's hated him.

Sexiest uniforms I've ever seen. Germans had great taste in fashion.
Hi Simon! Thank you so much for doing thorough research; it makes your videos very interesting and teaches things that most people wouldn't know from high school history. I have a suggestion for a future video, if you would be interested. Can you do a video about Simone Arnold Liebster? She wrote the book "Facing the Lion" about her life as a child in Nazi Germany and I 10/10 recommend you read it, even if you don't do a video. It gives a new perspective on what that time was like for normal people. Thank you for listening!
hi I am interested in reading this, do you know if it has an English translation?
@@whateverisavailabley Yes, I got it straight from the Smithsonian when I was there, but you can get it on Amazon 😁
@@bellag3293 OK thank you, will check it out
I ordered an Egg and a Chicken from Amazon.
I wonder which will come first.
yah....it will surely be delivered from ebay
Which came first... is not an example of a question with no answer. Aristotle asked the question and then gave the answer. Hint: Plato’s Theory of Life. It was definitely the chicken. The chicken did not necessarily lay the egg, that is not at all the point.
You'll just wind up with scrambled egg and KFC.
Part about Goering is wrong. It was Himmler who was making the peace negotiations.
Good video very engrossing, I subbed
It's a small thing, but it was "RSHA", not "RSMA". It was an abbreviation for "Reichssicherheithauptamt". Also, "Sipo" meant "Security Police", not "Secret Police".
Still, these are generally very well doen video's and it's always good to see someone passing increasingly unknown knowledge on. :)
@@HardcoreTristesse Indeed. They began as a small off shoot of the SA and turned into a multi- tentacled organization that had its claws in almost every facet of German life, as well as that of the conquered and oppressed territories.
Hardcore Tristesse. Quite right! I've always preferred the translation "guard echelon", as they started life as a small group (12, I believe) of personal body guards for Hitler. He may have been confused by the fact that Heydrich was in charge of the SD - the intel department of the SS.
@@klackon1 Well, getting the SD wrong as "Secret Service" would still be the same mistake as in Sipo, due to SD standing for Sicherheitsdienst, or "Security Service"
@@merobo5066 . Yes, indeed: the SD was the SS equivalent of the army Abwehr.
This reminds me of how amazing I found the police work in Fritz lang's great classic movie, "M".
The police investigating the series of child murders finally get close to the suspect and visit his apartment to search for clues while he's away. The suspect returns unsexpectedly and the cops run and hide. They run and hide!
A few years later, the Gestapo would have broken down the door, drag the suspect away and torture a confession out of him. what a difference a few years made. It's just so difficult to comprehend.
The Gestapo even imprisoned famed rocket pioneer Wernher von Braun because, at a party celebrating the success of a rocket test, he made a toast that said that instead of London, they should be aiming for the Moon or Mars. von Braun got rescued by an Army General who went to the Gestapo headquarters and, more or less, told them that, while he understood how they liked to kill people, if they killed von Braun,there would be no one to build the Fuehrer's rockets and he would be most displeased. The Gestapo let von Braun go but told him to give their regards to hs wife and kids. Point taken!
Wow - on what date did that happen? (I don't doubt it, at all - just hadn't known that before reading your comment, jmchez.)
@@shawngilliland243
The movie, "M" is by. Director Fritz Lang. I don't know if he based it on a real case but the police procedures that he shows were pretty normal until the Nazis took over
@@shawngilliland243
Oh, if you mean the Von Braun incident, I got it from a documentary on his life. I think that it was called, " Man, Machine, Moment". That is, when all three Ms coincided to make history.
jmchez, I have seen Fritz Lang's "M", and it is shocking if police procedures depicted there were the norm. Wow. I know that the German Kripo (criminal police) enjoyed broad support from the German people, unlike the State Political Police ( Geheime Staatspolizei - the Gestapo), which all sane Germans feared and many detested.
That spooky piano interlude is just perfect together with the express train narrative.
Thank you for your service sir and god bless you.
Can someone explain the picture to me at 2:32.. there is a lot going on in that picture that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Hi Simon, I always thoroughly enjoy your videos. Concise, informative, important and interesting. Also - i've been using backblaze for quite some time now and it's an extremely good and actually rather inexpensive service so a shout out to those guys as well. Thank you for all the content, much love to you and the team! :)
GREAT VIDEO as Usual! Well done. Keep up the Good work. Thank you.
These videos are so easy to watch or listen to, they make for good commute listening
Thanks!
Not to glorify the atrocities just some food for thought; how far back would we be in technology if it wasn’t for Hitler? It’s a shame it takes war or a threat of war to push us ahead in technology. The space race, the arms war, WWII, without these events in history the technology we have now might not even exist yet.
The groundwork for most of the technology we enjoy today was laid or sped up exponentially because of these events.
If we lived in perfect harmony from the dawn of time would we even have rockets, Cellphones, Nuclear power, The internet? It’s an interesting question.
A lot of inventors never got to invent the cure for cancer or other things because they froze to death in Stalingrad, so it balances out.

All of Beria's prisoners were led down the staircase of the Lubyanka and shot in the basement. All behaved stoically without a whimper. Beria when led down the stairway begged for his life and cried like a baby before he was forcefully pressured to kneel to be shot.
i like how both Germany and Russia attacked Poland only days apart, but the allies declared war on Germany and allied with Russia, that was a neat trick, still can't figure it out.

Too much focus on quantity, rather than quality?
15:45 It was Himmler who tried to negotiate peace, and since Fegelein was a subordinate to Himmler he was the one left to blame.
the fucking intro was so loud it woke up himmler himself from the deads
"The execution of FEGELEIN"
Oh I don't think so...
the american commander rounded up the captured nazis and did a role call " Muller, Muller, Muller, Muller, Muller...." but there was no answer.

Do one on my ex girlfriend..these dudes have got nothing on her
I grew up near cologne and they have there the old gestapo HQ as a mix between museum and art room. We visited it with my history teacher and for example you can read old letters of people living in nazi germany cologne (one of the more tragic ones was a nazi brother denouncing his communist brother to the police so he gets killed), go into cells under the building (which are very claustrophobic) and go to the place behind the building which is now an artwork with mirrors placed on the walls (the place was used to hang a lot of people). The historian in me was very curious but it was a little bit scary, not gonna lie.
Keep em coming; these videos are great!
I wonder if this guy practices his facial expressions in the mirror
Bill Michalides don’t we all?
Schindler's List production still being mistakenly used at 12:03... That's Ralph Fiennes!
At 12.04, who knew Ralph Fiennes was a member of the Gestapo. He really aged well, doesn't look a day older in Schindler's list lol.

A well covered story in 21 mins. Fluent and rich in detail. Thank you. Nazis teach us one thing properly. They showed you may talk but you also need to deliver. A lot to learn for our politicians.
I really don't think that you would like to learn this from the Nazis. There is a big difference between exploiting the people into promising them work to build their war machines and uterly bringing forth death on an unimagined scale and promising something that has no negative effect on others. There where more lies an false hopes coming frome the nazis than from any other politician.

The SiPo is also the Sicherheitspolizei.
Its possible he lived on and planted his id on someone.
I think it highly likely.
Ya that’s what I thought but why would he put in a mass grave that took decades to find? By the time they found that body he probably would have died of natural causes
It’s possible that the people that found his body planted his ID and stuff just to show that muller couldn’t evade them
SS is schutz-staffel which means protection squadron... Wauw, again major flaws; I'm disappointed... Again! Therefor no longer an abonnee
You're right. SS was NOT a "Secret Service". The SS later had the "SD" - Sicherheitsdienst - Security Service. The German "Secret Service" was the "Geheimestaatspolizei" - Secret State (as in national) Police. Known more simply as the Gestapo. There was certainly nothing secret about the SS.
