It’s a really great series and in the first episode if the Reichstag fire doesn’t ring a bell, something is wrong.

Soros learned at Hitler’s knee, so to speak. He has said that this was the best time of his life. He lives to fulfill Hitler’s dream.

I tried to order that set last year. They could not find me a copy on DVD anywhere.

I first saw it way back in 1973-1974. Later saw the added episodes from the 1980s.

I did find a copy of THE UNKNOWN WAR, narrated by Burt Lancaster, about Russia’s war with Germany.

As a kid I watched this series every chance I could. Can still hear the theme song in my mind. And yes, we are living under Paul von Hindenburg right now. Once he is gone the real tyrant will take over.

The local synicated Houston radio show has been talking ‘Weimar Republic’ since the mulatto president!!

If that DVD series slapped your face, how many others just kept eating their dinners on their TV trays?

I remember watching that when I was a child. I can still remember the opening visuals and the theme song. That’s how big an impression it made on me at the time.

Sir Laurence Olivier’s opening words:

Down this road on a summer day in 1944, the soldiers came. Nobody lives here now. They stayed only a few hours.

When they had gone, the community, which had lived for a thousand years, was dead.

This is Oradour-sur-Glane, in France. The day the soldiers came, the people were gathered together. The men were taken to garages and barns, the women and children were led down this road, and they were driven into this church.

Here, they heard the firing as their men were shot. Then they were killed too. A few weeks later, many of those who had done the killing were themselves dead, in battle.

They never rebuilt Oradour. Its ruins are a memorial. Its martyrdom stands for thousands upon thousands of other martyrdoms in Poland, in Russia, in Burma, China, in a World at War...

(Best Documentary Series Ever)

One of the best, if not THE best, WWII documentaries ever.

The opening scene of the first episode shows Oradour sur Glane. I visited Oradour in 2012 or 2013. I will never, ever forget it. I’m working on a return trip this year.

It was another Demonicrat in the White House, Woodrow Wilson, whose egotistical and foolish actions in getting the U.S. into WWI eventually led to the Communist Revolution in Russia and Hitler's rise to power from the post-armistice economic chaos in Germany which then led to WWII and the Cold War.

Details are in Wilson's War: How Woodrow Wilson's Great Blunder Led to Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, and World War II by Jim Powell.

And since their 1976 Party platform favoring abortion, the Demonicrats are complicit in the murders of 60 million infants of the womb. The Demonicrats are truly a party of death and treason.

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.

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 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.
