Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary and a German company what they did between 1933 and 1945
-
Keep in mind that Germany is one of the most open and honest countries when it comes to their dark times in history. That deserves a lot of respect. Most countries choose to ignore their dark parts of the past.
-
Amazing video, you should do a similar video looking into the British and other colonial empires and the origins of their wealth as well
-
Y'all did a deep dive into rich Nazis but oddly left out any mention of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab and his familial origins.. we definitely need a part 2
-
It's a good documentary. One suggestion. Make a documentary about the connection of American capital with companies in Nazi Germany almost until the end of WWII. It wouldn't be a bad idea to do a film about the connection of the English aristocracy with the Nazi Germany.
-
Judge: "You are sentenced to pay a fine of 2000 Reichsmark" Finck Sr.: "But my knee hurts" Judge: "Oh, damn, I'm so sorry to hear that, mate. You know what, don't worry about the fine, just concentrate on getting better."

Just found out about this channel. If this is the standard you're setting then you've found a new fan. Good documentary, very interesting.
-
British companies have a similar dark history of slave labor in Asia and Africa. would love to see a video on that too
-
It is also important to remember that after the war the occupying western allies purposefully did not prosecute some "minor" nazis, since they needed a "strong West Germany" against the soviets. That meant that alot of former nazis were in government, justice system, police, business and so on
-
As a German I’ve always found it interesting that we have the supposed reputation of coming to terms and being honest with our past. The more you dig into it, you realize there’s a lot that was swept under the carpet. Many people from the nazi time period kept silent, and honestly I think most Germans including myself don’t have a clue what our grandparents or parents really did or how they felt during this time. I’ll never know because they’re now dead

This was very well done. Subscribed.

Thank you for this research!
-
You just saved my day. It's raining all day and this is the last day of the summer vacation. Thank you.
-
As a German who had the topic "Nazi regime and the third Reich" present every year in school, these were again interesting details into the corporate history of these companies. Even though we Germans know a lot about this topic and many of the big global German companies cooperated in some way with the state (not all voluntarily) it is very important that this history is not forgotten and that we deal with it. Sehr gutes Video! Danke <3
-
Thank you fir your presentation , I watched all of it .
-
These documentary's you never see on Discovery Channel, i wonder why :))) Awesome work! Congratz
-
The statement of Sven Quandt gave me literal shivers... “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana
-
It's incredibly important to be aware of the ways these dark times still effect us and who still makes a profit off of them. I love this channel and I appreciate this video
-
Please part 2! This was very interesting and eye opening.
-
Thank you. This was interesting and important.
