A lot of the coverage in this series is upsetting, and can be quite emotionally taxing to write. Sparty covers this in his personal Instagram, where he often posts a behind the scenes photo that accompanies a video. Take a look here: https://www.instagram.com/spartacusolsson/
That was an incredibly moving way to end the video. Never forget.
Mr. Olson, do you write your scripts alone? Extraordinarily elegant, poignant and poetic epilogue in this episode. Listening to your delivery, how could anyone Ever Forget? Thank you for your work, which I do hope you're able to keep separate from your heart?
The Red Army were hanging Germans and Ukranian collaborators of the Eisengruppen as fast as they liberated the land.
About the 11 minute mark ==> Neither FDRs or Churchill's countries were occupied. And even France, Denmark and Norway, which WERE occupied, had anything close to this level of mass brutality, so Winston can STFU… and Sparty's tone of "show trial", is designed to get you to eventually agree with Churchill, when the gross criminality of these is unchallenged. Lots of subtle stuff here and it's kind of gross.
Your coverage of so many unknown stories is simply remarkable. I hope that this series, which I have not always agreed with, sometimes, gets the recognition that it deserves. Thank you for making content that will hopefully live long after we are all gone. Thank you.
Who writes your script Sparty, well done them.
Time dulls memory but the Beast in Mankind still Remains even if its just dormant..Like you say one pebble or one Spark can Start something that is very hard to stop! As for the Bombing of Civilian infrastructure by the RAF throughout Europe i find it rather Hypocritical that we are calling it a War Crime some 80 years later But saw it as a Necessary Evil back then
Once the Capitol was secured, they would have killed several people. They would have reinstated President Drumb using their alternate list of electors.
Then who knows what could have happened.
What are those marvelous glasses????
Another moving video that, in my opinion, should be shown in schools along with all the videos in this series to show the hottors of fascism & extreme right wing politics which, sadly, seem to be on the rise again.
As a BTW, the picture of the airman in the thumbnail is that of Squadron Leader Brian J E 'Sandy' Lane DFC who, at the time of the picture, was the Commanding Officer of 19 Squadron RAF in the Battle of Britain. He was posted as "missing in action, believed killed" on December 13 1942.
If you think this could never happen again then open your eyes and look towards Eastern Europe.
It is uncertain whether Freisler would have gotten the Justice he deserved from the German government after WW2. But he did not escape God's judgement.
What a terrible monster that man was.
Somehow, a man freely and willingly putting himself up as Judge, Prosecutor and author of the proceedings, making a mockery of all principles of justice, shocks me even more than those brutes who committed terror on civilians.
We will never forget.
Spartacus, every episode in this subseries is more stunning then the last.
Great respect to the entire production team.
Excellent as allways
Emotional introducing video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 👏🏻👏🏻😢😢😢that reminds atrocities, brutality of military 🪖 systems of WW2 partners for heading humans, committing bloodshed, prosecutor ancient populations behind fooled accuses & pretext besides war operators
Joker tells us the dead know only one thing, it’s better to be alive.
While I denounce the show trials prominent in both the Soviet Union and Germany, I also denounce the glaring shortcomings, light sentences and very early commutation of the trials and sentences in post war Germany by the Allies. I understand that the Western Allies decided that it needed to be smaller in scope than desired for the ability of the West German public to better adjust and comply more easily with the new Government and Democracy and limit the resentfulness I lean closer to the Russian way of doing it as being closer to fairness.
It surprises me these countries can forgive Germany … never forget.
Brilliant epilogue. As I have said before, this is the most important series on YouTube.
Humanity is not being thirsty, not being hungry, not being homeless and not being without sex !!!! And of course not being childless too.
Never forget
Never forget.
Absolutely heart breaking.
At 00:46 which part of Kolkata is that footage of ? and where is that footage from ?
The last statement was so powerful that I copied transcript as best I could.
"Like an avalanche of countless pebbles rolling down a hill, the dead of this war take with them the loved ones they left behind. Husbands, wives, parents, grandparents, siblings, family, and friends will long be left rolling from the terrible force that pummeled them in these distant years. They will remain in painful motion down that slope long after the dead have come to rest further back on this dark hill of humanity. Then with the gentle stroke of time, the hill flattens out into the rolling meadows of mourning and memory. At the slowly fading echo of their voices, their scent, their laughter, and the terrible cries of their unjust end sends vibrations that time again sets new pebbles in motion.
For the sake of your children, their children, for all the generations to come, do not go up that hill. Do not tread the path to where it began. Do not set the pebbles rolling. For it began there on that peak and it begins with only one Pebble thrown in anger, fear, and hatred.
Never forget."
Hello, I am a deaf person, I need official subtitles, not automatic subtitles. is it possible to add official subtitles?
I wonder if Langheld said the things that he said purely to save his own neck, or, because he realized that the Russians were eventually going to beat Germany and he wanted to mitigate reprisals on the "master race's" civilians. At any rate, he was wrong. Hitler and his buddies only fed pre-existing attitudes in the German population. I lived two doors away from a Jewish family for over twenty years. If the Jews are trying to take over our planet, then that's news to me. Those people were the exact opposite of the standard anti-semitic stereotypes.
Hi Sparty
Another week full of murder and atrocities.
Though its show trail,it showcased how nazis don't feel remorse for their crime.
Never forget.
Roland Freisler sounds like a real monster. He's lucky he never stood trial
So what's humanity gotta do with this?
It's hard to take any of these war against humanity videos seriously when the presenter looks like a hipster clown and tries to be overly dramatic.
I watched yesterday but my mind floated back to it today and then I started wondering if I'd left a comment. I couldn't think of what I'd written so and I did watch kind of late so I decided to come back and check. The part about the woman never celebrating her birthday struck me the most. That's what I was thinking about before I started wondering if I'd left a comment or not. I was also thinking about Remarque's sister and the Hanging Judge earlier today. I always get a kick out of people who are willing to denounce the war in public, even if they generally wind up dead. Never forget.
Spoiler: Both Rietzel and Freisler were killed by Allied Bombings. So the Bombing Campaigns achieved some good after all.
"… I have never celebrated my birthday." Thank you, Spartacus! I know this depraved, inhuman stuff is difficult to research, searing to write, daunting to even read. But we, your listeners, must know, must learn — for the forces that caused these atrocities are at work still today, and if we've learned anything, we must oppose them HERE and NOW. This year, this Christmas, next year, however long it takes, SUPPORT UKRAINE! "Likes" don't count.
that testimony ending at 10:38 sounds a bit too close to home . . .
Very glad that I never tolerated any "Honorable Wehrmacht" hogwash. Their crimes were incomprehensible on scale and cruelty. Stalin's joke about executing 50,000 of them is pretty amusing in hindsight and maybe they should have adhered to it despite Churchill's huffing and puffing. Though I'll admit my feelings like that are more outbursts from visceral disgust I feel towards that whole army. Especially since they are venerated by many military historians and enthusiasts, who whenever you bring up the Wehrmacht's crimes they dismiss it as "politics".
To be honest Stalin had been acting in the same way against to his own people
Of cource Nazi deserved , any conviction
