This video is actually quite tame when it comes to describing Ilse Koch and her barbarism at the Buchenwald Camps. She did far far worse things than described in the video. She bore a child whilst she was in Prison in October 1947, most likely fathered by a fellow prisoner Fritz Schaffer. She was actually released from prison in 1949 by US military Authorities which provoked a storm of controversy in the US. But fear not, The West German Government stepped in and re-arrested her on the same day and she was sentenced to Life in Prison. Just a small detail which I thought was worth a mention.

Then in 1939 he was dispatched to Aktion t4 where he then worked at Hartheim, Grafenneck, and Brandenberg and while there Wirth played a key role in Aktion t4 thus making him responsible for the murder of countless people. Then he was transferred to Poland where he served under Odlio Goblonick and then became the commandant of the Belzec extermination camp where he oversaw the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent Jewish people. Wirth was notorious not only for his brutality towards Jewish people but also even towards some Nazi guards with him occasionally beating Nazi guards with whips which made him so evil that even some of his fellow Nazis including even Franz Stangal hated him.

I disagree with calling Stangl as much of a sadist as dirlewanger. Stangl was a monster who facilitated the deaths of hundreds of thousands, but, he derived pleasure from his work in general, reading serenys book “into that darkness”, he gives the “impression that his crimes wouldn’t have occurred to him unless he was asked” and he wasn’t until after the war. He was along the lines of Höss, he didn’t care, work was work. Dirlewanger on the other hand, enjoyed the depravity first, and the “work” came secondary. Also disagree that these are unknown names, maybe it’s just my background studying them but they’re all notorious to me.

This is an example of why it's necessary to share this information and not have such things removed from the internet and media. Just as man is capable of amazing acts of kindness and self sacrifice, so is man capable of such acts of depravity and evil. History must be remembered for the lessens it contains.

Gitta Sereny's book - Into that Darkness, about Franz Stangl is a MUST READ!!!!

I agree with the complaints about the level of music in this. Im glad im watching this on KZread as i can use the subtitles rather than listening to this in a podcast. Maybe the background music should be changed. Its less background and more foreground music. The other channels use much more quieter music and i who am half deaf can hear simons words perfectly.

Even if the most depraved are 1 in 100 000 people, that's 80 000+ people today. With the internet and modern 'networks' the risk of harm to the vulnerable is even more today than in the past. Why? How much is 'enough'?

Rough video. I could only watch it in segments. But it's history that needs to never be forgotten or hidden away.

The fact that there are countless photographs of the era and you used “AI Depiction” is disappointing. The line between history and fiction gets blurred.

Another group, specifically from KL Stutthof near Danzig, was likewise executed in 1946. I found the chapter titles more distasteful, making lame puns for events so horrific.

I'd love to hear a video on Arthur Rudolf & Walter Dornberger. Two truly vile examples who escaped justice via Project Paperclip.

I read a book about the Treblinka uprising- they said one of the lessons learned ( by the murderers) was that people who knew they had nothing to lose were dangerous, and if they incorporated some illusion of a chance at survival into their day to day operations it would be easier to keep people in line.

I agree with everyone on the added music it is distracting and unnecessary especially at that volume, Simons voice drives the point home we don't need the distraction

Funnily enough most of Simon’s videos contain music, but it is properly mixed so that it sits low in the mix and doesn’t detract from the excellent content. This is incredibly badly mixed audio and should be addressed ASAP.

Isn’t one of TangentBoi’s writers also called Ilse Koch?

9:57 You included a photo of the Rhine Meadow Camp !

Ann Frank and her sister Margot died from typhus. Their mother staved to death and separated from for her daughters. Otto Plath survived and made sure Ann's diary would be read by the words.

Love the content, usually, but the audio mixing for this one is awful. Sounds like an action film at times.

I agree about the music

The music might be EQ'd a little high. I dig the extra ambiance it gives though!

3:36 The best depiction of Oskar Dirlewanger brigade is in the film Come and See set in Belarus during WW2 around the 1 hour 35 minute mark. It's on you tube and a remarkable film.

Thought I felt an earthquake but it just eisenhower rolling over in his grave yet again

The map of Stangls birthplace is inaccurate. You say he was born in Austria but the map shows Poland.

0:45 - Chapter 1 - Paul blobel 3:40 - Chapter 2 - Oskar direlewanger 7:05 - Chapter 3 - Odilo globcnik 10:30 - Chapter 4 - Franz stangl 13:50 - Chapter 5 - Ilse koch

In Poland somewhere in a forest is a clearing. In this clearing are lots and lots of boulders and rocks. They come in lots of sizes and are quite spaced out. Each rock represents a village or hamlet or town that got wiped out in Poland by the nazi. The size of the rock denotes the number of people that had lived in each village, hamlet and town. There are no plaques and nothing to explain it when you see it. Just silence and lots and lots and lots of rocks and boulders. There was simply to many places and people to name. 😢

Tried to watch it, but the background music is overpowering the presenter.

Hey team, could you use real images instead of AI generated images?

Was thinking it was more about nazi women given the title and the thumbnail. Bit misleading with 3 arrows and the caption saying "they're women" then only mention one... thats a woman, not women

Did the editor misspell your last name in the intro? And, yes, music is too loud in many spots

Guys, could you turn the music down. I am having trouble hearing while reading the comments.

Can't hear a thing; the narrative audio is echoey and fuzzy, and the BG music is overpowering! The video entirely just seems a little unprofessional and messy, to be honest. :/

I agree that the whole video seems rushed. The audio has been mixed far too hot, with the music constantly competing with Simon’s narrative.

I have a feeling it may be a new editor as normally Simon’s videos are of a higher quality than shown here.

Is it possible to duck background music so that one's vocals is present in the video? In other words, sidechaining in a video.

Don't listen to the haters I'm really diggin the backround music grooves it's like finally there's a video I can dance to

Dirlewanger's formation provides the model for the Partizanjaeger unit in the movie "Come and See" - his unit actually had a pack of Baboon "mascots" which they took into "action" with them...

Yes, get rid of the music. It isn't needed and distracts from the content.

This was a super great video, the music was a bit too loud tho 😅

Rewarding violent criminals for letting loose on jews and others seems to have happened at several places. Terrifying logic: putting mental derangement into a weapon and letting the bosses stay away from the torture handiwork.

big fan, long time viewer, so i gotta let you know that here, the music is so dominant in the balance that a lot of your narration is difficult to hear.

Genuinely surprised Irma Grese wasn’t featured

Editor did you dirty and misspelled your name on the opening title, Simon.

Captain Eric (Winkle) Brown's assessment of Ilse Koch ...

Pretty sure Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge (murdered a quarter of their population, for communism) Mao's Chinese regime and Red Guard (massest mass murderers of all time, for communism), and even Stalin's gulag gang (40m killed, for communism) managed to outdo even the nazis when it came to 'a broad and expansive litany of loathsome individuals'.

Agreed. The Nazis were terrible, but they weren’t the worst the world has known, just one of the most recent. We will never change, will we? Now we have weapons that can kill whole nations. Sickening!

Yeah I know I'm going deaf, with a hint of tinnitus. Even so, no need for too much amplification in background music. Only a minor thing, on the whole keep up the good work.
