How often have you heard that the German population was unaware of the horrors of the Nazi camp system? Well, the opening months of 1945 destroys that myth once and for all as the SS force hundreds of thousands of Jews and other prisoners to march across the Reich and into the vast network of sub-camps. All of this happens in in full view of the German people.

Denial of the crimes of the Nazis is on the rise. A recent survey found that 20% of Americans aged 18-29 believe the Holocaust is a myth. Time and again, Sparty, Indy, Astrid, and everyone here at Timeghost have tackled such falsehoods. The historical record shows clearly that the German people, whether Nazi Party functionaries, SS men, soldiers, or ordinary civilians, knew what was happening to the Jews, Soviet prisoners of war, and other ethnic and political enemies who were murdered in the woods and fields of Eastern Europe, gassed in the extermination camps, imprisoned in the concentration camp system, or set to work as forced labourers in the Reich. Now more than ever, it’s important to fight back against such lies. Join the Timeghost Army to fight against the lies.

did they know everthing, that had happened, or did they know just part of the whole? how much did they not want to see?
Antisemitism is still alive and well today
Sparty, you have a lovely French accent
Might you please consult with Indie when he were to stumble French names? Itstuck in my craw when , in rapid succession, he called out… de Lattre de Tassigny as 'duh lattray'.
Why is he so resistant to best presentation?
I am reminded of the ending of the documentary, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich bt William Shirer, part 3 [1968]. 21 Nazi leaders are tried for crimes against humanity. As you hear the defendants plead "Nicht schuldig", the narrator, Richard Basehart, says the following: "To a man they plead not guilty. But if they are not guilty, who is, and if they are, who is not? The German people who gave the Nazis power? The civilized world which permitted that monstrous regime to grow unchallenged? Hitler's Reich affirmed again that in every man there exists the evil by which he can destroy himself."
Never forget!
And the japanese also knew about the atrocities their soldiers were doing in China, right?
my greatgrandmother from mothers side was in stuthoff, she survived the war and the death march
My grandfather said about Wobbelin. There was no way the civilians in Ludwigslust didn't smell the camp or see them being taken there.
People of every nation can be controlled by those in power the latest example is the mass control governments and media used against the people with the threats over rejecting forced Covid vaccination
unrelated topic, love the tie 🙂
What about the present? They are doing the same thing to the people of Gaza??? Why are voices not raised to stop the genocide in Gaza???
Yes we all knew 🇩🇪
According to the woke types, Jews are white people therefore they are the oppressors.
The British knew that Churchill was a war mongering murderer of civilians.
Of course the Germans and Austrians knew that Jews were being exterminated. The modern view though is that they too were victims of the NAZIs. Yeah sure, perpetrators aren’t victims.
A modern comparison is the occupation and forced deportation of Ukrainians. We all know however countries like the United States and Hungary have lost interest.
Better to die fighting than be slaughtered like an animal.
Could you please do similar program about Soviet Gulag system in 39-45 period,its size and role of slave labor in Soviet armament industry? As Red Army advanced in Ukraine, Baltic states and Poland great many people were arrested and sent to work and prisons near and beyond Ural mountains. Most stayed there until 1956 and many died . German POW were also there and great many perished. We can't forget them either.
I went on a tour in Idaho at Yellow Stone Bear World and our tour guide was a young man on an internship from NY and he was telling us that he needed to get out of NY because of to many jews I had never been so disgusted with a person before in my life.
While I like Sparty's good natured and well put together speeches and lessons at the end of these videos. Blaming humans for their tendency of looking the other way or ignore things when these types of crimes are occurring is somewhat ridiculous. Its human nature to do such a thing. Especially when opposing the thing partaking in the crime can result you in being killed yourself, and quickly.
The world isn't some idealistic fantasy where everyone gets along and does the right thing. Just need to learn from our mistakes.
The thing that should not be forgotten is that there WAS a real reason for the hatred. And that was that a group of people who'd had little to no success in private life and not wanting to accept responsibility for their own failures in life wanted to hoist blame onto people who'd done nothing to them… because it absolved the accuser of his/her own mistakes. In this… the real reason was about people not wanting to live in reality.
The post-War Milgram Experiments showed 2/3 people would shock someone to death with no more pressure than, “the experiment must continue,” or “you aren’t responsible, I am.” And 85% would still shock someone. Dr. Jordan Peterson says you should imagine yourself in such a situation so if God forbid you ever find yourself in one, you might recognize it and turn away.
Never forget indeed. :
We must be better. Never Forget!!
As so much of the planet seems, once again, to be falling in love with various forms of Fascism, authoritarianism and dictatorships – NEVER, EVER FORGET!!
brutal but great video. we need more history in all our lives. keep it up guys. love your vids and channel.
Darwinian ideology should be banned. We've seen enough of it's fruit
And Cato the elder ended his every speech in the Roman senate with the phrase "carthago delena est". 7 Years later he got his wish… History repeats itself
Never forget… They were complicit. It was one of the rare instances were collective punishment was justifiable….
God help us
The Holocaust is undeniable and tragic. I do not believe that the exact numbers of the victims or the whole story of their suffering will ever be truly understood. At the same time, I don't believe it should be a central narrative of the 2nd world war, given the vast scale of conflict. Many times more Chinese people were victimized than any ethnicity in Europe, for example. Very few people alive today had anything to do with the war, and there is no reason to feel guilt for what others did. Learn from the past, avoid the mistakes of previous generations, and try to make things better; but don't feel bad for what you were not involved in.
