  • At 59 yrs old, I just found out I was adopted. Raised Puerto Rican, being Puerto Rican is all I've ever known. Yesterday I received the results of my DNA tests and turns out I'm 100% German. Outside of WWII I know nothing about Germany. Now my journey starts to recover my ancestry and learn about my people. Thank you so very much for this. ❤️
  • @marsnz1002
    Nice to see a doco on our history that doesn't focus entirely on those 12 years.
  • @knoblauch3450
    It sucks how almost whole German history is neglected because of 12 years of Nazi rule. Great video btw
  • @user-ib3xe6iq5o
    Love Deutschland aus Griechenland . Great nation and people, majestic history . Heart of Europe !
  • I am in a relationship with a German and i want to learn and understand the history of Germany beyond the 12 years that are highlighted in school. I appreciate this video and the hard work that was put into making it.
  • @nazirrasoly9152
    Long live Germany....Respect From Afghanistan 🇦🇫🇩🇪
  • @skinden1815
    I’m a Native American really interested in the German people. Thank you for this video!
  • @danielelliott95
    I love this country so much. It has such rich history and their language is absolutely my favorite. I wish more people knew it’s history.
  • The Germans(German speaking people) are arguably the cultural heavyweights of Europe. Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kant, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, Hesse, Goethe, Dürer etc... To see no further back than the great world wars is to disregard some of the most outstanding intellectual and artistic achievements of any country in any age.
  • @gratefulaya192
    I think i learned more about Germany, and history, than i did the the entire time I was in school. subbed and liked
  • @tocotronicon
    "the bavarians were often independent minded and uncooperative" yeah, sounds about right.
  • @AftermathRV
    "the bavarians were often independent minded and uncooperative, not something that would change anytime soon" It never changed IT NEVER Changed all germans know that, EVERY german know that. Dont argue with a bavarian. He is right, even if he isnt.
  • @earlefrost5512
    Interesting that one Otto got the ball of German unification rolling, while another completed it!! You might say that Germany invented the Otto pilot...... backing slowly away from the computer now...
  • @donfowler3607
    I am 1/2 English, 1/4 Irish and 1/4 German so after listening to this history, I have all Anglo Saxon roots and mostly Germanic and Teutonic culturally. What a surprise! That will save me $100 on Ancestry.
  • I’m part German but mostly American, my great grandpa on my grandpa’s side was born and raised in germany during the nazi party and later came to the us
  • I deeply respect Germany's ancient history. But looks like very few people know about them. WW2 destroyed their ancient precious history. I completely agree that most of it is overshadowed by the events of 20th century. Thanks for the information. Greetings from Pakistan!
  • @Bobthesnob
    Excellent work. No dead-weight here, just a well-paced stream of info at the right level of detail (for me) and with useful graphics. Watched from start to finish.
  • These documentaries are amazing. I've learned more about history in 5 hours than I did in 4 years in high school
