    Every time a historical documentary says "meanwhile, a young general named......" You know someone's about to wreck sh*t
  • @jb428
    Excellent content! As a German who is pretty familiar with history, I certainly do approve the content. In most foreign documentaries some details are always wrong, not the case here. Thanks for your work!
  • Finally, after 42 years.. I find a documentary on Germany that is factual and fair. Thank you. Love your other videos as well. Terrific work, friend. Subscriber for life.
  • @jonwhite6986
    I can’t even imagine the sheer depths of research behind this video series. You’ve done an amazing job here. Keep up the good work. Would love to see Norwegian histories from you soon

    A couple points 1. Apologies for taking longer than usual to get this up, as I said, November was unusually busy, expect a couple more videos before the year's end. 2. You may notice/have noticed that the pictures I used for the The WW2 section didn't really include much of Hitler or associated symbols. Censorship like that is not my policy. Because they're used in a historical/academic context, it's not against YouTube policy either, however, YouTube is renowned for not caring, so, though I recognize that these images are important parts of the history of Germany, I decided I had to exclude them to protect the video. 3. I added some new features to this video. How do you feel about the little factoids that pop up? Helpful, or distracting? 4. I also hope you enjoyed the language segment. I know it seems kind of thrown in there, but I feel that discussing a language is very important to discussing a people and their history. Thank you all for watching, let me know what you think, and subscribe to see more videos like this in the future.

    Frederick the Great: 1. Contemplated suicide 2. "Respected women" (Archwhore of Austria) 3. A disappointment to his dad 4. Won great victories tactically He was a gamer... And probably a weeb.

    Woke up to this playing on my TV. Takes me back to when the History Channel was true to it's name. Keep up the good content.
  • @RetroBerner
    That was insane how much information you managed to cram into this series, Danke!
  • @briantlougan810
    Hello.Generally pretty good, informative. But, as a longtime resident of the Czech Republic, I can tell you that the Hussites are still here. There's a Hussite church about 7 blocks from where I live. There are many in this country.

    Wilhelm I wasn't followed up by Wilhelm II, his successor was his son Friedrich III, who died 99 days after his coronation leaving his throne to his son Wilhelm II. 1888 therefore was called the "Dreikaiserjahr" (three emperor year). You forgot the second german emperor ;)
  • @Pokerface-tr1ds
    As a German I have to say that this is very accurate and it takes a great deal of research in order to bring this up here. Of course there will always be some contradictions here and there, but for the most part.... you did a good job.. very well researched.
  • This series was incredible. Thank you so much for all the work you put into this content.
  • @devanthedude_
