Colossi, not "colossuses."
Did this influence the Saudi Arabian linear city project, The Line, in Neom???
If you have been there, you will know the youth scene is filled with far left pill popping 20 year old communists more than a few Bible thumping far right.
"When Hitler did the decent thing , and shot Hitler" Brutally awesome.
A lot of concrete waiting to be recycled. I’m surprised this eyesore hasn’t either been removed or restored.
ps: i might have commented too early .
i want to vacation there and live the full soviet experience
Thanks for the FootBall Field math history Daddy
take control of a classroom, he becomes bully. take over a nation and he becomes a dictator like Kim, or Sadam. When he takes over a continent he becomes a Hitler or Stalin. The one who takes over the world, Bible speaks of him as the Anti-Christ. We have little examples of him in hitlers and Caesars. "autonomy" from God, It's about power, control to become god, saying; "I will be like the Most High"…
I'm sorry, I laughed a little too hard at "And then Hitler did the decent thing and shot Hitler."
This is the one I really wanted to see. Possiby the only Nazi-era structure that could be described as 'untainted' its creation and history (both during and after the war) is fascinating.
Are we really still pretending that Hitler shot himself in 1945?
I never would have guessed that nazis had a Holiday Resort with a "Wave Pool?"
The first time I saw this installation was in a Biggles Comic; Wotan Sword. Those novels are really interesting to read if you are into spies and wars. Really do recommend them
Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge I found out a week ago after getting $10,000 return on my $2000 investment in 7 days.
You used miles for the Americans?? I thought they measured distance in cheeseburgers. Just in case any mericans didn't understand what silly Simon was saying….2.8 miles would be approx 44352 cheeseburgers(my burger math isn't great). 😜
It always surprises me that people with power and money who are in positions of leading a nation have no problem with making their lives better even at the expense of those they are supposed to serve. Or lead.
Everything else aside, Hitler was concerned about the welfare of the average worker and having access to goods and services.
You vill enjoy yourself! Or else!😊
I had just finished inhaling a whole ass bong rip when he said "unfunny Charlie Chaplin lookalike"
RIP me, I guess
Simon watches Nazi Megastructures.
No darkies, only blonde chicks, all good 🏄🏼♂️
What I hear people including "experts" deny that the Nazis were socialists (of course they can't be – socialists are good!), I usually just laugh. But now I may just show them pictures of this place. Interesting video.
Der Führer had great ideas for sure. 4,5km at least😂
A dark side to the Nazis? Surely not.
I used to spend a lot of my childhood at Prora because of my grandparent that are living on Rügen. It's an imposing building with really nice beaches
Looks like the Florida coast…
When you see this you start to appreciate more our blue mediteranean sea and climate.Every Adriatic coast town, or Aegean coast is so much better holiday place than this.
People that have a problem with reusing the structures or the land need to get a grip, just because nazi's built it means nothing. Hell Volkswagen was founded by nazis as the peoples car and you don't see anyone getting up in arms about people riding around in their beetles
Hmmm, miles of accommodation built in a straight line to ensure everyone has an equitable view and it turned out to be another failure of central planning. Remind you of anything Saudi Arabia?
stalag butlins
The individual is not important ofset agains that building.
It's so bad that including miles isn't even good enough. Americans don't even know how long a mile is so we need a reference to a ball game….pathetic.
sir, please talk about ASROC missiles belonging to the USA Navy…. what are the advantages and how are they applied… thank you, sir
"When Hitler finally did the decent thing and shot Hitler" 🤣🤣🤣
Spruce up and modernize the place, throw in an enclosed water park, a couple casinos, a Disney theme park and I think it would be better than anything else currently in Germany.
I never heard of Pora. Very good presentation. Thanks for educating.
You really don't like Americans, do you? I think you hate us more than the Nazis themselves.
Funny how similar Nazi Germany and Soviet Union societies were so similar despite the narrative being that national socialism was the opposite of soviet socialism…
Yes, thank you Simon. Us Americans appreciate when you give us real measurements.
Considering it’s what most socialist countries did. Build workers resorts. The cruise line part of the program still survives today. Aidia cruises has its roots traced back to this program.
No matter what you think of Hitler he DID personally kill the most vile person on the planet.
