Eisenhower forced 17 million Germans out of their homes in the eastern province. They were forced to walk to the west . 6.6 million never arrived.

Erich Maria Remarque, the author of All Quiet on the Western Front, was high on the nazi kill list. They could not get their hands on him. Instead they excuted his sister.
Archaeologists DONT cry. This one ought to be compelled to go back to grad school to take (or retake): 1. Field methods and techniques of dirt archaeology. 2. Methodology of processing and curating archaeological artifacts (especially human bone) 3. Philosophy of Science 101 (so she can learn the difference between science and pseudo-science. This person is an embarrassment to the illustrious history of British archaeology from Carter to Renfrew.
I don’t agree with the implication that Claude lanzmann was wrong in his editing, the big picture remains true; atrocities were committed in Poland , always the slant to relieve antisemitism without evidence other than personal opinion is sloppy and obviously incorrect

What's your point ? Every Military on Earth has committed crimes from the beginning to current . I don't think any Group or single person believes that the German army was crime free, ask any Viet Nam veteran what was done to POW's when Americans were found in the field besides the search and destroy body count system.
What was the Holocaust?
Lol
All the work that has gone into blackening the name of the Wehrmacht makes me conclude it is a huge distortion produced by the usual suspects. I bet this chap has made a good living, yeah his bosses must be very pleased.
@The Richest Man In Babylon Wikipedia is a tainted source controlled by the same scoundrels who own the media and advertising plus more. To rely on them.as a source is ludicrous.
@The Richest Man In Babylon Gassed kids well why then they they have nurseries and classrooms at auschwitz? Look at all the survivors now who were children in the camps some even born there.
LMAO. The Wehrmacht doesn't need any blackening. We all know that it is a criminal organization that is a willing instrument in the various genocides that it did for its Nazi regime during WW2. It's already degraded enough, enough to kiss every demons' asses in hell itself.
Pray tell, who are the usual suspects? By your name "ExRhodesian" I think everyone knows where you are coming from.
The International Tracing Service were a great help and very supportive in my request to find out more about what actually happened to my family that did not survive the Holocaust. Unfortunately they never had any information for me that I didn't know but I will always truly appreciate the time and effort they put into their searches. I've now unfortunately exhausted all other options and resources now and sadly will have to leave my poor relatives to history and all that's left for me to say is (albeit rather reluctantly, nor at all morbidly or in a sick way) is that hopefully their deaths were quick and painless.

The Nazis weren't quite "right wing" by German political standards at the time. Other than that, great lecture.
@The Richest Man In Babylon I'm afraid not. If they were extreme "right wing" they would have been trying to reinstate the federal monarchy of the German Empire. Hitler and the National Socialists had little to no love for the Prussian nobility or the class-based systems of Imperial Germany.

It was time to let go of Dziewulski y Lange's terracotta tiles in 2016 already. Dubious and rather willful-looking inaccuracy spotted - without the internet even. Catalogued one of those at local Museum, unrelated country, with own hands and eyes, years ago. Spotted the 6-pointed pierced mullet star logo - same since 1886, when Jozef Dziewulski and partners Lange brothers registered their ceramics factory in Opoczno, Poland - immediately, in the initial British "documentary" featuring this dubious "archaeologist". The mullet star logo is found on all Dziewulski y Lange terracotta products and on the, ahemmm, back side of their tiles. That is the side that gets plastered to the wall/floor, you know. These are the facts and the historical, real data about the tiles. Took a lowly Museum Assistant and a good library all of 10 minutes to find out in the early 2000's. Takes professors emeriti in world's most expensive universities quite some time, it seems. I see the establishment and MSM running hard with its "truth" about the Teblinka tiles. No, I am not a "neo-nazi" nor a "revisionist" - detest all bat shit crazy supremacists the precise same, regardless of what god appointed them. Only interested in provable facts and rational conclusions to be made.
Impossible to listen to. In 2020, you haven't figured out a Zoom call?

...Why do we continually avoid discussing the war crimes and atrocities committed by the Allied high command? When? When will it be time to hold them accountable?
Why do you continue to use whataboutism, a logical fallacy, to justify the Wehrmacht’s crimes?
Sorry Wehraboo, but Hans is a war criminal.
Allied war crimes that were neither systematic nor very widespread.
Why would he be talking about Allied war crimes during a lecture about Wehrmacht war crimes? Why is your first reaction to discussion about German war crimes "what about the Allies?"
What war crimes? Did members of allied armies commit war crimes? Yes. Was the entire point of the war from the allied perspective a war crime? No. The German armies entire goal WAS a war crime in and of itself.
Not the best dissertation of what I've seen on it, very poor descriptions of certain facets of it, but, it does get the general point across, the Wehrmacht was anything but innocent, they were very complicit in what happened, and it was absolutely intentional from the beginning. They planned to kill all the Russians and all the Poles and all the Slavs eventually, or at least keep some slaves around for a while, then when they didn't need them anymore, dispose of them. When the Russians went into Poland in 1939, the only thing they really did differently, was they simply enslaved the refugees from the west and created some temporary gulags in Poland, shipped the ones they didn't need, back to the eastern gulags, and disposed of anyone who wasn't likely to be a good Communist. Poles couldn't hope for much in the way of a guarantee of life, either way, over the long run. Many ex-soldiers ran a disinformation campaign on the role of the Wehrmacht, and even the SS, in what happened in Europe thru the 50's to the 70's. Many autobiographies conveniently leave out certain periods in the author's deployment, or lightly mention something they "heard about in the next town", or "saw while they were transiting back and forth from the front".
The Soviet occupation of eastern Poland was qualitatively different than the Nazi occupation of western Poland. The Soviet agenda was class war, the Nazi agenda was race war. Race wars are wars of extermination. You can't change the fact you are a Slav or a Jew. You can change your "class" -- you just become a supporter of the Communist regime.
Very informative. danke schön
Please continue with your good work. My mother was on a death march but I never got the details from her.
In the Netfix series Greatest Events of WWII Dr. Megargee states: "Really, if you had to identify a theme for Hitler's election campaigns, It would have been" 'Let's make Germany Great again." In my view, Dr. Megargee's noteworthy academic and research achievements are tarnished by what I consider to be a political cheap shot.
He nailed it!
A political cheap shot? Against who?
Seems as if he created that because his political ideology. Therefore too biased to even trust that it was properly researched
The Wehrmacht was ‘in it’ up to the wine-stripped trousers of the General Staff. There were two Holocausts: the one in central Europe proper and the one in the ‘East,’ the Soviet Union. The Wehrmacht was fully aware of, and enabled, carnage and slaughter beginning in Poland in 1939. There was no surprise when Hitler penned War Directives, undated and amplified after the invasion, outlining how cruelly the Slavs, Jews, Communists were to be liquidated as an active policy measure of Barbarossa. The internal dialogue within the Wehrmacht was to try and not get too associated with the atrocities of the SS and Einsatsgruppen. Many generals fully co-operated and assisted the SS in their deadly campaign. Had they lived I believe the Allies, post 1945, would have found it impossible not to have von Reichenau and Model ( among many) join Keitel and Jodl on the gallows. Even everyone’s favourite anti-Hitlerian general, von Rundstedt, was held in full captivity, almost to his death as it was politically opportune not to try him for war crimes but impossible to release him for enabling Einsatzgruppen’s in the Ukraine. Many generals also penned stupid, self incriminating orders to their troops calling on them to aide and abet-clearly criminal-crimes against humanity. Oh and everyone in the fatherland knew the broad outlines on the slaughter in the east. Read the trial transcripts of von Leeb, von Manstein ( who served time) and how the eastern front generals were involved in the commission of war crimes.
You are spot on. I am left feeling ill by the lazy way so-called “academics” label Trump supporters as no different to Hitler’s Brownshirted thugs. The difference is obvious and is so obvious they betray the historical record when flippantly tossing these barbs around. Trumps daughter is Jewish. His son in law is Jewish. He has Jewish grandkids. Let’s compare that to Hitler! Oh yeah there is no comparison. Trumps supporters seem to be vastly supportive of Israel and the Jewish people. Let’s see how that compares! Oh yeah again it doesn’t. The leftist academics who spew this garbage do an incredibly poor job. It makes the truly heartbreaking suffering of people back then seem comparable with our times. How many journalists did trump imprison? None. How many newspapers did he shut down? How many parties did he ban? None. How many wars did he start? None! I could go on and on. Academics will go the way of the dodo if they continue to spew this obvious ahistorical nonsense. The clueless kids in front of them during class may not know any better but someday they will and in between times we all know it’s vile to spread such disinformation. They do NOT get to rewrite history.

thank you Daniela, it was a very interesting lecture.
very interesting. thank you
I just want to say it is such a wonderful idea that the Wiener Library makes these talks accessible and public. Thank you.
i was going to crossbreed my tomato plants to create a new race of tomatoes but the "experts" in this conversation made me understand that doing this is EVIL. Of course i think that these "experts" just have a vile irrational hatred for white people and this conversation ONLY applies to white people
Another liberal demorat that is manipulating history for their agenda. He compares MAGA to Hitler and continues his indoctrination of lies to the younger generation. This guy has no business teaching Or lecturing. He is corrupting the young minds of this great country.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very interesting
Noice
This guy is a propagandist and a fake. His views are twisted in reality but down party lines. Misconstruing history to his own ideals. Piece of shit.
Megargee compares “MAGA” to Hitler pre-war Socialist build up motto as “MGGA”, “make Germany great again”. Now from what I’ve observed is the Left is the real Socialist of today, the fake news, the teaching in the schools, the thugs in the streets. I’m in my sixties now and very glad of that my memories are going to be better than any future in this country if the liberals have their way.
Hitler wasn't a socialist. A socialist believes the means of the production belongs to the workers. Since Hitler was a union buster, he completely misses the mark. Now what about the other socialist ideas...what wrong? The only thing wrong with Hitler was that he was a authoritarian, who lead a group that killed millions, and stole from people. Don't do the "Hitler also did it" BS. Just because I copy ideas doesn't mean I'm going to do everything. Hitler prefer the following Gun rights Privatization Public education Vegetarianism Public services These are good ideas that we can agree with. But what truly matters is what we do. The Nazis chose to kill millions, I chose to help millions. Your argument is the same thing liberals use for gun: the gun/socialism is bad. Well, no. A well maintained gun in the hands of a well respected and competent owner is safe but in the hands of a crazy person...people are going to die.
@@weasel101 how am I fake? I gave a very logical rebuttal. Let's me try to explain this shit to you. Some people believe in a strong military: so did the Nazis Some people believe in public education: so did the Nazis Some people don't like smoking in certain spots: so did the Nazis Some people dislike atheism: so did Himmler, head of the SS Some people think we should own guns to protect ourselves: so did the Nazis. Its not bad that you share some views with the awful people, as long as they ain't the ones that made them unique: Kicking the Jews out of England, murdering millions of Ukrainians, imprisoning your own people because you don't like them or are a threat to your power.
@@weasel101 what the hell are you talking about, I'm countering these dumb arguments by both the left and right that being x is exactly what the Nazis did. Nazis were capitalistic, but that doesn't mean if you're a business owner, you're a Nazi. Maybe if you bothered to read furthur, you would see I was talking about this exact point. Where do I promote Hatred, Greed, Evil, and Selfishness? If anything, I'm trying to come to a understanding. Just because me, you, and the OP share similar views with awful people doesn't mean we're awful people. I would probably be on board with them, had they not been such hateful and sadistic people. Believe me, I want to punch those Neo-Nazis, but I don't because it's against my moral code and makes me in roughly the same boat.
@@weasel101 also, maybe you should finish reading a rebuttal, because not finishing it and assuming is a guaranteed way to lose an argument.
The reason why there is a comparison is that there are similarities in the rise of all ultra-nationalist movements. A nation perceives itself to have fallen on hard times. Lots of people are unhappy. Lo and behold, someone comes in, says that he can magically fix everything, blames every single problem on a convenient other, and ignores the facts in favor of what his supporters want to hear. He gets into power, and thanks to his political clout, can ignore inconvenient things like legal restrictions. What he does at this point, varies widely. It doesn't have to involve the "other" being exterminated, but a strongman getting into power is rarely a good thing.
All the racists and facists are and have always been on the left and this guy is blindly dug in like a parasitic tick
Where does he mention the left. This isn't about the politics of left and right wing groups, this is about the war crimes of the Wehrmacht. Also, when is the left racist in the modern world. And is being an asshole for belittling POC you disagree with comparable to actively messing up their lives. And I would advise you don't look at things on a 2 dimensional compass, and go for judging them by their character.

@Sakusha Durante Sorry, I have no idea how this comment got posted here, I haven't even viewed it.
@Sakusha Durante however, I'll just toss out a perspective from an American. Sakusha Durante Fascism is a word, it owes no allegiance to any party, it belongs to the party that behaves like fascists. Furthermore, the American conservative party in the US is completely different from that in Europe. American conservatives-the right are for small government, but not Laissez-faire. Extreme US conservatives are libertarians. However, all conservatives belong to the party of Lincoln, and are proud of it. European conservatives-the right, however, are not for small governments, and at the extreme can be fascists. In name, the Nazi party was national -socialist (left), but in practice, they were fascists. Nationalism is also a word that is ballyhooed about as if there exists some unicorn-nation in the world that doesn't, in deed, practice nationalism. If you know of one, I'd like to know of it. Of course, Antifa is a fascist organization, certainly in the US. It's all about their actions. Give them a "shirt" to wear, and they'll be right at home. (It's interesting that you say they're "black" too, perhaps in Germany, but not in the US.) Good luck.
Fascismy is on the left that’s why the nazi party mass executed the socialists and suppressed the liberals. Very big brain.
I just want to know accurate facts about WW2 so I can better understand this terrible period in history. I can recognize the difference between right and wrong on my own . As in WW2, when certain people used propaganda as a weapon against others, they undermined truth and supported suffering. Leave out the hateful political rhetoric. You only undermine yourself.
It makes me angry that this video has so few views. It is no surprise that to this day a lot of people still believe in the so called myth: "The clean wehrmacht".
Like, yeah, there were cases of people having a conscience, but there was way more people who lacked one or purposely ignored it.
Dr. Szymon Datner docimented the genocidal war against Poland, the first 55 Days of Wehrmacht after 1 sept 1939. Bestial campaigns, mass murder of leadership classes(lists prepared earlier by German Poles, spies, traitors), general policies of terror, brutal lawlessness. Look up Wieluń, Wejherewo massacres, KL Stutthof etc etc. More than 20% of prewar population slaughtered, even more proportionately than Soviet Russia.
@@belmounlv1 Yeah. The Soviets were bad, no question about it, but they were just a generic authoritarian society. The Nazis? They were like a crazed religious cult.
@@evanhunt1863The soviets raped too
@@luigigaudelli2501 The whataboutism is getting old. EDIT: And furthermore, nobody in this comment thread mentioned rape.

@@re1010 Wrong! The GOP has never been as anti-Semitic as the Nazi's or for that matter pre-war Germany.
@@mrains100 just replace Jews with immigrants and refugees, and you got pre-war Germany. I don't mean Nazi Germany, I mean the early years of the Weimar. People being put in awful conditions, and the right calling the problems a left wing conspiracy.
R E you seem to live in a fantasy world. The modern left is highly anti semetic. I'm not talking about rich the upper class non-traditional Jews in American media I'm talking about them hating Israel and religious jews. There is nothing wrong with wanting less immigration to your own country and saying it's just like Nazis hating Jews is uneducated and pretty moronic. This whole issue is so much more complex but saying that wanting less illegal immigration is just like Nazis Germany exterminating jews, gays, communists etc ect is pretty pathetic.
@@re1010 The problem is not immigrants, the problem is illegal immigrants.
