Amazing documentary about Adolf Hitler

Conas · 05-05-2014 4:42pm #1

At first when I came across this documentary, I took it with a pinch of salt. But by the time I finished watching all of it, I was completely stunned. I now consider it one the greatest documentaries I've ever seen.

We live in a world where we are highly influenced by everything we hear, and see from Hollywood, History Textbooks etc.

I'd be interested in hearing what people think of this documentary, if you've ever seen it. It shows the other side, from the German prospective, and the truth about Hitler, and what he was trying to achieve. It's called 'Adolf Hitler the Greatest Story never told'

I really think Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin, made huge mistakes, and were guilty of some horrendous crimes; Stalin worst of all.

It's a real eye opener. There's a link to a website below the you tube video, where you can watch the documentary in different parts. I love History myself, but I never looked at it from the other side. Like most people, we go on what we're told. Which we shouldn't, because we can be easily duped.

I'm probably not going to watch a 6 hour documentary about Hitler before the first comment is posted so....... is it a Nazi sympathising doc or wha?

wotzgoingon · 05-05-2014 4:46pm

I didn't watch it but I don't really have a problem with Hitler. Germany was booming under his control. Economy was great etc...
BUT this is a big BUT, he really should not have done that to the jews. I don't know what he had against the jews so if somebody here knows please enlighten me.

Ah, gotcha now.

Ah heyor leave it out...

Look, it doesn't matter what this documentary says, whether other world leaders made mistakes (Hitler's policy was just "making a mistake"?), whether figures are distorted, whether we only get one perspective etc.

He still organised a system of killing many, many people - end of. What difference would opening our minds to alternative perspectives make in the face of this big overwhelming fact? Even if the anti-semitic Holocaust denying types come up with loads of figures that show he didn't kill as many as six million... he still killed lots of people, so... that's that.

Not another 'the Nazi's were just misunderstood' threads.
Save it for the Ukraine threads.

Right so it's a four hour film.

Bullet points on the the bits we need to know please, otherwise the thread gets it.

Hitler; Not just there for the Nazi things in life.

Well mao killed ten fold the amount than hitler did and now we have his face on tshirts and restaurants named after him.

Hitler was a very bold man though.

As I understand it though a lot of the economic boom was down to the mobilisation of the economy for war and the seizure of Jewish assets and such.

Then again, he did fix the roads.

Wrong, it was the American economy that boomed because of war.

Yes but you could also add the slavs, the gypsies, the handicapped, the mentally handicapped. He had quite a long list of people he regarded as sub human.

Apart from that of course he was a lovely chap.

BTW - not sure when I'll have 6 hours spare to watch a docu.

whupdedo · 05-05-2014 5:02pm

Ah Hitler was sound to give him his jew

I am pie · 05-05-2014 5:03pm

Aside from killing jews, gypsies, slavs, the disabled, homosexuals and invading all of his neighbouring countries causing the deaths of millions of people...he was sound enough, is that the gist here?

Get a grip.

So what you're saying is, and correct me if I'm wrong here, but Hitler is misunderstood by the modern world and was actually a great leader?

Er, yeah, gonna have to say good luck with that one Hier Conas.

You are taking at cross purposes. He is talking about the economics of nazi Germany before the war, you've decided to bring the US during the war into it.

As it happens naziism did create a Keynesian type bubble economy for a while but it wasn't sustainable.

Well I did post the links to video to see what others thought. But since you won't watch it, I can't debate the documentary with you.

The visual motif of Hitler's mustache as a barcode is cute, in fairness.

Actually forget what I said, if hitler didnt exist I wouldnt have to look at boring german cars pebble dashing Irish roads with bleakness.

More than a few important historians and scientists have been thrown into jail in Europe and very few people in academia or outside of academia complain about this and at the same time these self satisfied people talk about the importance of “freedom of speech” and its important role in a democracy.

The reason for the laws against holocaust 'revisionism' comes down to the fact that it espouses and gives credence to a very dangerous cultural myth, the same one that Hitler and his lads exploited to gain legitimacy in the first place. Which is why you see these pseudo-academic journals and documentaries leaning on the 'free-speech' argument to hide the fact that they are little more than neo-Nazi propaganda.

So kindly feck off OP.

Ok it's a 24 part mix of a documentary and a counterfactual 'what if' video by the looks of things that examines the childhood and early life of Adolf Hitler, the political and economic decisions made in Germany pre 1939 and the political, military and economic decisions made post 1939 that examine their context from a different angle.

The site does have some unfortunate use of certain symbols but I don't think that is reason to dismiss it entirely.
