Germans were extremely popular settlers in Medieval Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe as well as early modern Russia because they were very skilled and productive (=taxable!) and usually didn't make their culture anyone else's issue.

While living in Siberia for some years as a German a funny thing happened. I heard a lot of high praise for Germans building houses, being more orderly, etc. There was also a rumor about small "German" towns in the Altai. To be honest I mostly put that down on sweet talk and them trying to be flattering. Then after two years being on a business trip I came to a place and there was a house named "pharmacy ", "townhall", the fences were standing straight! I couldn't believe my eyes. It was very touching to see that after literally houndreds of years regardless to being deported by Stalin to the middle of Siberia in the forties the German-ness was still so obvious.

Many ethnic Germans from the Altai came back to Germany after the fall of the Wall. Many have settled here in Bernau near Berlin. So we hired a few Russia-Germans in our company. There was a funny situation when my old man had a lively chat with Waldemar (newly hired) during a company party: Waldemar, where are you from? From Barnaul. I know, but from where in Russia? Barnaul! I know......we all live here in Bernau..but where in Russia? BARNAUL!!! Why am I actually telling this? Oh yes.....Photos from Waldemar. That's right, the houses looked original like they did here in Bernau 100 years ago. Flowers in the front yard, fences straight, everything freshly painted. Just like you said....:)

Yes, the Germans have given so much to the world. 2 world wars! With 100 million dead in Europe. Most of them murdered in genocides by this disgusting nation. Yes, this completely megalomaniac, mad, felonious, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation really gave the world a lot of very evil things. Like the SS, NSDAP, Nazism, SA, Hitler Youth, death camps, gas chambers, wars of extermination, genocides, massacres, Ethnic cleansing, collective expulsions, tortures, General Plan East for the genocide against all Slavic nations, Romani genocide, Holocaust genocide against the Jews, murder of millions through starvation, Enslavement of millions, Abduction of hundreds of thousands of children for Germanization, cruel human experimentation, terror bombing of cities, book burnings, intentional destruction of cultural heritage of other nations, art looting, deliberate destruction of cities. I could go on presenting the list of German gifts to humanity for a very long time. Although these are only the gifts of one era, because in the Kaiser era there were already genocides in West and East Africa at the beginning of the 20th century and they also criminally waged the First World War, including massacres against civilians by the German army in Belgium and Poland, and this criminal army also deliberately destroyed cities as early as the First World War. Yes, these are all wonderful gifts from the Germans to humanity. We should all be grateful for that.

Refrigerators In 1876, the German engineer and entrepreneur Carl von Linde developed the Linde process, which is fundamental to science and technology, as a purely physical cooling process. His invention made it possible to improve the reliability of the compressor and the entire refrigeration machine so that they became suitable for industrial use. Before that, there were only refrigerators in which blocks of ice from frozen rivers and lakes were stored over the winter, which were then used for cooling in summer... So, are there refrigerators in Germany? Yes, the world's first industrial refrigerators were invented right here...as was so much else.

Qingdao brewery was founded by Germans in 1903. Qingdao was a german colony from 1898 to 1914. The City Center of Qingdao looks like a City in Germany. Same houses like here in Germany. After the germans had left, the chinese continued to run the brewery and maintained and preserved the houses. Every time i'm there i feel a little bit like at home.

Like the UK with Hong Kong, Germany had until WW1 a autonomous colony in China. From 1898 to 1919 the city Tsingtau belonged to German Kiautschou colony. Germans dont wanted to miss their beer in Tsingtau and build there the Germania brewery wich still exists today under the name Tsingtao. The Tsingtao brewery is currently the largest in the world.

Im a German who lived in different countries and even though I’m not a historian I learned that every country has it’s „darker“ parts in history.

But that’s it. Thanks to videos like yours and my travels I learned that being German is not just bad. I think we should never forget and honor history. Learn from the good and bad. If we filter all of Germans past through the Second World War, it feels like the bad guys won.

I lived in Germany for a long time and can speak German without an accent. That's why I know the lies they spread to whitewash their own nation. One of the tactics the Germans use is the tactic of pointing with the finger at other nations with the assertion that they also committed terrible crimes. Like this German here, he also tries to whitewash the Germans with his shameless comparison with of Germans with other nations. Quote:...every country has its “darker” parts in history. In fact, this is a widespread tactic in Germany, in order not to make their own Nations history look so criminal and barbaric. The motivation is to spread the lie that Germans are actually equals among equals, nothing special with their history. I have experience with it! That's just a kind of falsification of history that this crimes were equal. But this tactic does not work anyway because there is a colossal difference between the Germans and the other nations. Nothing compares to the crimes of the Nazi nation. Also the number of victims! The crimes of the Nazi nation were unique in world history. The Nazi nation enslaved 20 million and also murdered many of the slave laborers through extremely hard labor and malnutrition. Hundreds of thousands of Polish children were kidnapped for the human breeding program and for slave labor. The Nazi nation also murdered or maimed many people through human experimentation. Germans started in a very short time various wars against various states largely with the aim of conquering the territories and exterminating the population there and enslaving a minority. Pure, insane, megalomaniac and utterly amoral barbarism! The Nazi nation committed various genocides which were partially committed on an industrial scale. They murdered tens of millions of people for racist reasons and for ethnic cleansing. The Nazi nation responsible for the death of some 65 million by the consequences of the war and the various genocides. What is decisive, however, is that they murdered millions of children in the process. That was unique in world history. So this damn completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation cannot be compared to any other nation. Nothing compares to the crimes of the Nazi nation. Also the number of victims! The crimes of the Nazi nation were unique in world history. That was a completely megalomaniac, mad, criminal, amoral and degenerated Nazi nation!

The whole "everything leads up to Hitler" perception is actually it's own debate among German historians called the "Historian's debate" (Historikerstreit) or more precise "the special way (to national unity) debate" (die Sonderweg Debatte). Having studied history in Frankfurt for almost ten years I'd say the whole idea is an inverted obsession the immediate post-war generation of German historians of Germany beeing "special" and thus perversely continuing the NSDAP idea of Germany beeing exceptional just in this case beeing Mordor for twelve years... "exceptionally evil" but exceptional. I feel it's idiotic and has echoes of a gleefull, almost sexual, masochistic obsession with shame - "spank me hard oh history!"🙄. But maybe that's just me, I also feel that Prussia was grossly and unfairly mistreated after the War... but then I am of Prussian- Huguenot descend... 😂 Best regards Raoul G. Kunz

Very well observed, that obsession of large parts of the first generation of post-war German historians (as well as many social- and political scientists, they featured just a little less prominent in the eye of the general public) to make the Sonderweg-theory happen, and two successive generations of their doctoral students trying to preserve the legacy of the (mostly) men who educated them. Indeed a rather perverse inversion of the Nazi/Völkisch obsession with German(ic) racial excemptionalism. Another factor that should not be underestimated is guilt, though: if the descent into National Socialism was all but inevitable, because it was predetermined and set in motion by the actions of several generations of our ancestors for the last several hundred years, what could those those that lived through National Socialism have done to prevent it? Nothing! It was predetermined! No personal responsibility or culpability (aside from the very upper echelons of the Party and the Wehrmacht, who were all conveniently dead or locked away in Spandau by the Allies) to contemplate for the lucky ones who were now building shiny new upper-middle-class academic lives in the new Federal Republic. Especially not for erstwhile ardent little Hitler Youth members the likes of Hans-Ulrich (Wehler) and Jürgen (Habermas)... A prime example of those kinds of people is Fritz Fischer, with his absurdly myopic, nowadays thankfully utterly discredited Fischer Thesis, patron saint of everyone claiming "if Martin Luther didn't already directly cause the 'Evil Germany' of Hitler, it certainly was Kaiser Wilhelm!": Fischer, who started out as a theologist(!) before switching disciplines, and joined the SA in 1933 and the Nazi Party in 1937, directly profited in the form of career advancement from the Nazi's ban of Jewish scholars and lecturers from academia. An utterly detestable hypocrite, who unfortunately received way too little flak for his 40-year-career of lickspittle opportunism during his lifetime. On the other hand - who was supposed to deal that out, when many of his contemporaries often had to contend with broadly similar biographies as well.

And they have never paid for it, they have never regret it, excused for it, made amends! Even though they are so guilty. It's high time they finally held accountable for all their crimes. The Germans of today want HONESTY AND JUSTICE, they are fed up with the hypocrisy of dumb badasses which think they can judge about their grandfathers, whilst concealing and suppressing all the atrocities that their own countries had done. This is in special directed to the warloving USA, that like that crank sort of making profit, by walking over corpses.

German settlements, e.g. in Russia would often be complete villages to resettle devastated areas after war or famine and thus be culturally isolated. In the US Germans would mostly be farmers going west, living in again small isolated communities and so be mostly among themselves. This was promoted by the fact than some groups, like the Texas Germans came in organized groups, organized by rich aristocrats, who kept everyone together. It should also be noted that the German language is one of the central aspects defining Germans, and thus central to German culture.

i was born in germany, raised, and still live here. for the longest time i felt bad being german because of the first half of the 20th century history. i have thought about it a lot, i really struggled with it, but i have come to a conclusion what "being german" is, atleast for me. when i do something voluntarily, i want to do it perfectly and atleast do it right. i like to argue and want to be right, and i mean not talking someone into something but convincing them. for me "being german" is "striving for excellence". i see how some people with that feeling, with a hint of hubris and narcissm, and without self-restraint, can easily slip into a mindset that enables something like the third reich. its like most things: the extreme form is really bad but the basis has potential to be really good

As a German and a hobby historian, the horrors of the era between 1933 and 1945 was an extension of pre-existing trends, though far from a certainty nor something that only could've happened here. So much of what has happened was modeled after earlier similar events, perpetrated by the Ottomans, the Americans, the Belgians, German colonial adminstrations... The list goes on. And it should be noted that that's the duality of man, being capable of great works but also great evils. Look at the UK and its colonial legacy, the US and its treatment of Native Americans and African-Americans, Japan and its history.

A fun fact concerning the point you made about Germany being renowned for the quality of products. The label „made in Germany“ was actually introduced by the British in an attempt to protect their own markets from the imported goods. It backfired hilariously because the British people recognised the quality of the German goods and started to look for the label. The brand is Germany’s most important success in public relations to this day, so thank you Britain! Another thing, both my family and my wife’s family were displaced from their homes after the war, because they belong to Czechia and Poland now. It happened to millions. My wife’s grandmother‘s family was actually very wealthy but lost everything except for the clothes on their backs. She passed away recently, having been almost 100 years old. She had a lot of stories to tell.

To my knowledge, while keeping their own language alive, German immigrants usually spoke the language of their respective host nations and respected their culture and customs. That's not what we're seeing today.

Exactly…. I was friends with a Greek girl whose parents had come as guest workers during the 60‘s…she was in the best sort of German school (Gymnasium) with me, while her much older brother had just chosen the school based on where all his other immigrant friends were going after elementary which happened to be the lowest tier German school (Hauptschule), because his parents didn‘t know the difference and he came to greatly resent his parents and himself for that decision. Both spoke accentless German while at home everything was Greek…it was quite strange visiting because it was almost always instant culture shock like you never get going to Greece as a tourist….I loved it. No one complains about immigrants keeping alive their own customs and culture, but not knowing the language and understanding societal rules in this case greatly disadvantaged their older child, who became an electric, while Maria became a doctor. Integration is paramount, but I think this was never the issue for German settlers, we still learn two or more languages in school, even though one might argue that Latin should be exchanged for Spanish at this point in time.

How little I know about my home. Thanks for teaching/showing.

born in the previous mid century I grew up being utterly ashamed of being German. I have been raging against my parents why they didn't do something about it - not realising they have been children and teenagers in that time. But they where silent. They where also silent about that my grandfather very very quietly helped a very few Jews to escape which I found out about decades later. Travelling abroad I strove to speak English accent free in order not to be identifiably German. Staying in a Johannesburg Hotel I met Israeli businessman (them not knowing I am German) the conversation went to Germany's guilt and reparation. What they said in a nutshell: very few speak about the Holocaust maybe only the old and orthodox ones, there was and is Antisemitism all over the world, actually in centuries past there was the least of it in the German speaking realm thats why so many lived there and Yiddish is so closely related to German . German guilt is a business asset therefore it needs to be kept going. From extensive reading I found - the racial theory with all the horrible aspects was developed in England and found attentive ears in Germany as well. Concentration camps - developed from the Spanish-Cuban Ten Years' War, to the British Second Boer War and the Philippine-American War finally to Germany as well. How to implement Race segregation followed initially the USA-model for their African citizens. My point of view: all of the different bits which came to this hellishly efficient head in Germany had their roots somewhere else. It is NOT an inborn German trait. And as far as responsibility for the most dead human beings in the 20th century is concerned - Hitler ranked 3rd. First being Mao, second Stalin. So, to point the finger at Germans makes it so much easier to overlook the own part in diverse atrocities

Curiously "made in Germany" was not made to be a marker for excellent quantity. It was meant to warn british citizens they're about to buy a foreign product from Germany in stead of a local product.

It's really funny, I'm from germany and I didn't know the most of these things. It's interesting to see something that you won't get teached in german school, so there isn't something special i didn't know. I just know that the Kindergarden is also an german invention. Also a lot of philosophers and scientists (like Einstein, Luther, Beethoven, johan Gottlieb) are from germany and a part of the alchemy have his roots in germany. I also have to say thanks, it often feels like you will called "nazi" after you told someone that you are from germany. Have a nice day everyone

It's definetly the latter. The lead-up to WW1, the revolt of the Kriegsmarine in Kiel, the subsequent 'abdication' of the Kaiser and the Formation of the Weimar Republic, already on the cusp of a Civil War at it's inception and paired with the humiliation at Versailles with the EXCLUSIVE moral fault to the war (like litterally, the fault to a War that had many fathers was laid solely upon the conscience of the german people) and with the follow of deprivations, excesses and tumultous times of the Roaring 20s all of which lead to the rise of Nazism with all it's terrible rammifications in the time from 1933 to 1945. It was a pretty wild rollercoaster ride alright?

There are many things about our countries we never learn in school today. If we did, we would love them and take care of them much more. We all have hundreds of generations to look back on, to be proud of their heritage and thankful for their toils that brought us where we are, and thousands upon thousands of generations yet to follow us, for whom we now pave the way. It will do us and our loved ones good to think of that once in a while.

Budweiser indeed changed over time, as did the others. During prohibition, the 2-3 largest brewing companies were able to produce products they had lobbied to remain legal. Most of the other beer and liquor producers went under. After prohibition, these companies used strong arm tactics and lobbying for regulations to prevent other companies from being able to compete. That dominance of the market would continue up into the 21st century, when things like microbreweries and brew pubs were finally legalized and able to compete. During the time that the major American breweries had no domestic competition, their quality decreased decade by decade. There's actually a similar story in American coffee companies. When they eliminated all competition they went o the cheapest most poorly made product that could still legally be called coffee. Because Americans literally had no other choices.

Danke🙏

There is an interesting conversation/studdy one could try to do about how german settlers/imigrants managed to keep a lot of their cultural heritage (language, architecture, traditions, etc) while also managing to integrate into the new country/society over time and largly avoiding the generational split/disconect that many other ethnic groups ended up trapped in over the centuries. It seems that especially in the last 30 or so years, we got rising numbers of mixed-ethicity youth, especially in america, batteling with the conflict of not knowing where they firt in. But it seems most previlent in groups like asien-americans or afro-americans. Despite america having many towns who's population where originaly german based, I haven't seen the same problem come up with "german-americans" (Hell, I haven't even heard anyone use that term before to describe themself or others! For all I know, it doesn't exist as a real term the way "afro-american" does!). It would be interesting to see a scholar take a stab at history to see if they can find out why that is. Becouse there has to be SOMETHING that coused that difference in outcome!

Maybe it starts with the fact that "German" is a nationality, not an ethnicity. Secondly, if you don't count the native people, white Europeans were the first to emigrate and build the US.

You learn about the "German settlements" partly in history lessons (for example: Volga Germans, Transylvanian Germans, settlement of Prussia), others you can also learn from television documentaries: for example: "Die Welt op Platt". A series by Norddeutscher Rundfunk about places around the world where some form of Low German is still spoken. Moderators: Jared Dibaba and Julia Westlake. Oh and don't forget Jared Dibaba grew up as an emigrant in a small northern German town and learned to "snack op platt" in kindergarten.

I am german. And it is kind of odd. I say: I am glad to be german and I am proud of our past and all the stuff the former germans invented the reaction is always the same. No matter where I am. The others: You can't say that as a german. You are a nazi. But when americans say that they are proud no one mentions that they have slain millions of native people. Which live in reserves by the way. The reserve thing is like the time Hitler was ruling germany. He put Jews in ghettos. But when he did it is a big no no. But when americans do this it is... Normal?

I heard about that in my birth town Freiburg im Breisgau the Name America was invented. But I never new if this is true. But it looks looks that the Freiburger cartograph Herr Waldseemüller 1507 thought Amerigo Vespucci discovered the continent and therefor named the new continent America. You can see it on pictures of his map.

Being a Dutchy and yet being of German ancestry (since 1752 in The Netherlands) I do recognize this item. Many many true Dutch families turn out to be of German ancestry, whether they like this or not. A fact after all is a fact. See WW2 is never far away in daily life here in The Netherlands, although WW2 already is 80 years ago. For the generation which actually was in WW2, it often was a traumatic experience which gave many people PTSD and besides soldiers many common people as well. The same common people whom were trying to raise a family in this horrific era suffering of PTSD and all and so creating a newly born generation in WW2 or slightly after WW2 being exposed to PTSD parents and a PTSD society. The people growing up in WW2 are called first generation war victim and the children this first generation war victim raised are called second generation war victims (born in the late 40's, in the 50's, the 60's and even the 70's) , since they had to deal with their PTSD parents and PTSD grand parents, and all other people suffering from PTSD ( Family like aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, anybody) since such a grand war will leave a huge impact in any society. These are the consequences decennia after a war people were not in themselves and yet they struggle with the direct or indirect consequences of this war. This is the reason why some people in 2024 still can react strongly negatively to German people, Germany, the German language, but they do prefer German products: household items (kitchen, washing machine, coffee maker, etc.) and of course they prefer to have a German car in front of their door. The duality (originating from PTSD trauma) of rejecting the country, the language and the German people, and yet coveting German products is characteristic. Even today (2024), some young families are not free from PTSD and raise their children with such a duality between rejecting and desiring people and things of German origin, which for example at football matches between The Netherlands and Germany will come to the surface again.

my grandmother would also be chased back to germany, although they owned a farm for centuries

And Elberfeld is now a part of the City of Wuppertal , i think for over 100 years already, and never to be found on German maps. Then there are Braunschweig and Köln named with the english "translation " Brunswick and Cologne. What a mess of a chart, mixing up centuries, decades, names and languages and borders all at once.

What is lost in this video is that many of the people mentioned had a predominantly Jewish identity instead of a German one, even though they came from Germany and spoke German. We have many similarities, but are also very different. You can see it in the language, most of them spoke (and still speak) Yiddish, which is a mixture of Hebrew and German, and I'm able to understand much of it with no issue. The evolution of language that happens along migration is a very interesting topic in general.

You know that this will be good the moment you see Thomas Sowell in the title. 😀
