Love the World at War (for Olivier alone and the many truths they let slip you never hear about today in newspeak)
May one recommend a BBC series that historically sets up everything (from the European perspective and even incorporates Japan vs. Tsarist Russia) up to WWII. Up to the Weimar Republic post WWI:
“The Fall of Eagles” 12 part series, great acting, personality setup and historically sound analysis. 14 parts 52 mins each. It is still, think— on youtubbieland non-monetized. The BBC series:
Episode 1, the Hapsburgs 1848: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo21LRTc1Uc&list=PLeeHYMdsfWkL2lEk8hHYoO9WHNfP_9fe2&index=1
Some try to call this ahistorical— it is not- it is dramatized but the history is quite sound, down to the personalities, weakness and realities of the winds of population.
Have gone to the effort to download each to mp4 on CDs for the potential removal from you tub. BBC may still sell it.
Cato Institute?
What do you expect? They don’t teach history as it really happened anymore. It’s all sanitized to meet their agenda.
Yes, if one thinks the descendancy of the United States of America is constrained by the German system of “democracy”... which our Constitution forbids and is being ignored in order to simulate the German model.
It is being done to us by the very followers of German Socialism— hitlery clinton the demonrat party of WWII US and post WWII US struggling away from the Fascism of F.D.R. for more than 50 years fighting off the inner Leftist Statist Fascists who have covered for the Communists, all these years.
To get rid of this cabal without bringing down our wonderful unique Freedom loving Constitutional (non-monarchic and non-parliamentarian) Republic, without the chaos that a true civil war would provide to our world enemies— why, that is the particular mcguffin to be properly organized and if at all possible, nonviolently applied to inspire. A tough nut in view of monumental propagandist Orwellian media, however the People respond to the human realities when they are SHOWN them in truth.
The warm air blows across France from the mediterranean sea.
The French are known not to bath on a regular basis.
The Germans can smell the French on warm days.
This has always bothered the Germans.
If you look closely at photos of the beginning of WW1 and WW2, you will see German soldiers marching with a rifle in one hand and a bar of soap in the other......
I want to post a few photos of Oradour, but I’m too freakin’ stupid. I visited HTML Bootcamp.
They threw me out.
ADD me to list. I watched this with my late father who served in the Navy.
What is most remarkable are the interviews with KEY participants. since the event only happened 30 years prior to the series.
The only downside is it lacks, because of the time(Cold War) it was made, a robust view from the Soviet side.
It’s stunning how the events of then flow with current times...ugly actually.>>> Yes even the phrases of “no free speech” etc and no one really thinks about the fact that we have already seen the movie and we win. not them.
My Dad (RIP) was also in the Navy.
I watched this as a little kid in the 70’s on PBS. I have been fascinated with and read about and watched documentaries about WW2 sinc then. My dad and uncles and many family friends served in both Europe and the Pacific so I got a lot of first hand information from them.
I have rewatched a lot of those episodes on YouTube and I still think it is the best series on the war ever made. Hearing the guys that were actually involved like Karl Doenitz and Arthur “Bomber” Harris talk about the war and why decisions were made is fascinating after reading about them in books. This was before PC and the series pulls no punches about atrocities and the abject horror of all of it.
Great show. I’m going to fire up a couple episodes on YouTube tonight.
As you remember, Woodrow Wilson explained that defeating the Kaiser guaranteed “peace in our time” and the “self-determination of nations”.
Come on, man.
WW I was insane sacrifice that accomplished _nothing_ for the US.
Now we about to do it again—this time to “make the world safe for” perverts.
You have a talent for twisting context. Probably find a way to take the pro-Kaiser view of the Lusitania too.
The Kaiser was an insane jerk.
That did not mean we had to spend lives and treasure in his European bloodbath.
When you send merchant ships into the middle of the war zone, it is hardly unexpected that bad things are going to happen to them.
War is a _very_ serious business, and should not be fought unless the full benefits outweigh the full costs.
This was a no brainer disaster.
I was puzzled after watching “The Man In The High Castle”.
“oddly similar to the current rise of the Democrat party...”
——————
The country has been roughly 50/50 since Reagan. It’s not like the Dems have risen from the ashes. This particular cycle they did “slightly” better than the did in the last election; and worse in the House.
I think it’s important to keep things in context and perspective.
