Hearted Youtube comments on TIKhistory (@TheImperatorKnight) channel.

  2. This is why I despise censorship. It doesn't stop people from spreading wrong information, it just makes them believe their information is all the more important and correct. When there isn't censorship, you can discuss and disprove these ideas and clear things up. Granted that can only be done if both sides sit down to talk but still, that can't happen if you censor people from talking about it.

  3. I literally can’t fathom how many people are saying “I’m not gonna watch the video” like, you literally answer everything they try to counter with, they just don’t want to be proven wrong. It’s hilarious. By the way, this video really changed my mind on the whole thing.

  4. Thank you, TIKhistory.

  5. "Mom, there is butter in my coal!" - German children, probably

  6. Obviously Hitler was a British agent

  7. Oh man, this guy. This is what happens when a serial killer gets handed power and autonomy during the chaos of a war. A perfect storm of unaccountable sadism. What a nightmarish situation.

  8. The July Wehraboo offensive will begin soon. Hope you are ready man :D Good video!

  9. "Israel has taken over Tasmania" quite shocking to realise I was living in Israel all my life without knowing it.

  10. This series looks more interesting than the whole of Netflix. TIK you deserve every penny you get. Thanks for educating me in economics and politics.

  11. People misunderstand this video. Hitler was a socialist in the original sense of the word, not a socialist in the Marxist sense of the word. If more people watched the video instead reading the title and getting mad, I think they would agree with you.
    648
  12. How does a person ignore the pre-war agreement between Hitler & Stalin to split Poland as part of their non-aggression pact.
    647
  13. Yea Lewis, this documentary, I dare not call it just a "video", is definitely one of masterpieces of educational youtube.
    647
  14. In the past I would say this video is public service but it actually is private service! Well done!
    647
  15. Most deserved break ever, you should take as much time as you need. Take care of yourself, we'll still be here when you get back ❤️
    646
  16. Very Interesting topic; it’s about time the establishment historians recognise the truth of ‘fascism’- and it’s basis in socialism. You’re doing a great job at exposing their ignorance. Thank you, TIK.

  17. A warm up for the the Stalingrad marathon

  18. "Socialism is when there's no commodities, including food" might just be the best definition.

  19. The "Come to grips with the enemy and attack, attack, attack" mentality had been a very British thing for a long time at that point. In all of Britain's colonial conflicts it was a rare thing for British troops to face an enemy with anything like the level of discipline, training, and equipment that they had. It was not an uncommon thing for the British army to rout enemies through aggressive action even at a severe deficit of numbers. Prior to WW I it was uncommon for the British to face a peer enemy, unless they were fighting the French. At sea, this attitude was even more exaggerated. Britannia had ruled the waves for countless generations at this point, and not only had an enormous navy, but the quality of her forces ship-for-ship would not be disputed until the Americans (who were themselves heirs to British naval tradition) began asserting themselves at sea in the 19th century. It was expected of a British naval captain to be ultra-aggressive, and many victories were had by the Royal Navy even when under tonnage and outgunned. Churchill came up in an age where strategic and tactical aggression had served the empire very well for a long time, so it is not surprising that his natural tendencies would lean in that direction. His greatest fault in this area, IMO, was in not learning the lessons of the first world war that the nature of warfare itself had changed, and in underestimating the logistical complexity of modern mechanized warfare.

  20. Never heard of Operation Keelhaul before this. Thank you for bringing this to light and can’t wait to see you continue to cover this topic.
    634
  21. Take all the time you need, TIK. I'm very sorry for your loss and I hope you can come to terms with it. We'll wait however long it takes.

  23. As a Russian, I can't but express my gratitude to you for your great job in debunking those myths about the most smeared war in history. For those who still believe in evil Soviet commissars who shot their soldiers for no reason, here's the statistics compiled by NKVD from August to October 1942: "..detained: 140 755 soldiers who fled from the frontline. Of this number: arrested: 3 980 people; executed: 1 189 people; sent to penal companies: 2 776 people; sent to penal battalions: 185 people; returned to their units: 131 094 people." But of course, all the executed people were innocent victims of the bloody NKVD, and not traitors, panic-mongers and spies that easily disappeared among retreating masses. Jokes aside, I am shocked how lazy people are. There are many reliable sources of information, but it's easier for people to believe in myths and propaganda images. Also, I think it should be mentioned that penal battalions were only for the officers while penal companies consisted of regular soldiers. It is a popular misconception in our country that there were only penal battalions that consisted of regular soldiers mixed in with officers. Anyway, thanks again for the great vid. Keep fighting the wicked propaganda.

  24. Masterful coverage of a terrible battle. Your Stalingrad documentary has already became, and will remain the reference for years and years on, just like David Glantz's books. So many war veterans from everywhere in the world are praising it: that's the best reward you can think of.
    628
  25. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You sir provide some of the best, if not the best, WW2 content on YouTube.
    627
  26. As a Religious Studies student and World War II history fanatic, my two life obsessions come together in this video!
    626
  27. "its not .. when two girls share one cup" Tik you came close to owing me a new keyboard with that one.
    624
  28. Yes, lets not try to uncover the reasons and ideologies behind his actions and why he inspired so many people to support him and commit horrible atrocities. Lets just leave it as 'he was insane', not learn anything from this period that we could use to prevent anything like that ever happening again and all will remain well.
    624
  29. It’s not futile. Keep making these videos. This is history that needs to be remembered and understood. We appreciate your work TIK.
    621
  30. I just realized TIK is doing a PUBLIC service announcement. All jokes aside thanks for the warning.
    614
  31. 31:00 Marx - Never had a job Engels - Mooched off his rich dad Lenin - Only worked for 2 years of his life Stalin - Dropped out of seminary Hitler - Failed out of Art School and lived on the street selling his art for pennies Mussolini - Was a socialist propaganda Anyone notice a pattern? Maybe putting jobless losers in charge of government isn't the brightest idea.
    613
  32. Wait TIK, I thought you were a Nazi sympathizer ? 😆
    612
  33. As long as we understand that Gnosis isn't a codified religious doctrine that needs to be taught or passed on, but rather a philosophy derived from human reasoning and human limitations it makes sense. People from different backgrounds can independently reason their way into this position without a common thread other than their own nature.
    609
  34. As much as I love hearing people bash Marx, it was heartbreaking hearing how his family suffered because of him. The dude was truly a worthless POS, and it astounds me that THIS was the guy whose ideas affected half the world.
    606
  35. It especially annoys me when people try to claim that the Wehrmacht did no war crimes.
    606
  36. My history teacher emphasized that fascism and national socialism were different ideologies. During the tests, that we had every few weeks, we needed to read both soviet sources and current sources, then explain what was trying to be conveyed. It seems Lithuanian and English education systems are were different.
    603
  37. The dreaded Wehraboos and Sovietboos offensive. TIK you cannot wage a 2 front war!
    603
  38. Only you can create a 6 hour 30 minute long video with actual content.

  39. This is probably THE best overview concerning the Night of the Long Knives I've ever seen. Rational, logical, and backed up with historical receipts. This has been an awesome eclipse so far. On the other side of it now. Getting brighter.

  40. You've hit on a point that according to Kenneth Macksey in his book “Why the Germans Lose at War", has plagued the Prussian Army from the beginning: poor emphasis on logistics. Macksey argues that the Prussian idea is a short war concentrating on movement and that long logistical trains were never emphasized. This failing then was transmitted to the Wehrmacht through the predominance of Potsdam Prussian trained officers. Remember, Hitler complained that his generals did not understand the "economic aspects of war"; it seems he was right.

  41. "But is this really the case?" is a great meme. But is this really the case? Definitely.

  42. It's truly a shame how you have to make a disclaimer when talking about history.
    596
  43. When they cannot combat you with evidence, they target you personally.
    596
  44. God, I knew Hitler was evil, but a vampire too?! It just gets worse!
    596
  45. the only gold standard right now is the quality of your productions. keep up the good work
    594
  46. Mistake or no mistake , your Stalingrad series is the greatest documentary I've ever watched
    593
  47. I love how they say TIK has no idea of politics but don't even know the words "source" "arguing" and "audio quality"
    588
  48. Reddit hating you is a good sign

  49. I greatly appreciate your efforts to create this very impressive video about my grandfather, Friedrich Kellner. As I scrolled through the comments, I noticed two people wondered about the authenticity of the diary. I posted a response to Ozdave McGee's question about it and then realized I should have posted it as a separate response directly to you, so it can be shared by all the viewers. I hope it is all right for me to repeat that post here. I am the grandson of Friedrich Kellner and the editor and translator of the Cambridge University Press edition of his diary. I understand how original source documents can raise questions about authenticity, particularly in light of the "Hitler diary" fraud of many years ago. The ten original notebooks of the Kellner diary, which include almost 900 handwritten pages in the Old German Sütterlin style and more than 500 newspaper clippings and illustrations from Nazi-controlled newspapers, were exhibited in Berlin and Bonn by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (associated with the Social Democratic Party) in 2009 and 2010. The diary was readily authenticated not only by age, paper and ink but with a comparison of numerous official handwritten documents written by my grandfather when he was the courthouse administrator in Laubach from 1933-1950. His diary was published in two volumes in Germany in 2011, under the title "Vernebelt, verdunkelt sind alle Hirne" ("Darkened and clouded are all the minds"), and in 2012 the German government subsidized a paperback edition to make it available at a reduced price for educators and students. The city of Mainz, where my grandfather campaigned against the National Socialists, has designated Friedrich and Pauline Kellner's burial site a "Grave of Honor." The town of Laubach, where he risked his life to write the diary, now has a street named after him.

  50. Considering how insane and random history can seem at times; I don’t blame people for wanting to believe something easier to explain yet more crazy
