given just one function nines to give, to crown prince's to, to the german empire. a modern industrial power with an over zealous interest in its military facility. zoe's will be produced is what shape the image shape society, a glance if depiction of the hey day of the prussian military go glenside the, you know, it's the hey day when the guard regiments understand in 3 rows on, on to the lyndon boulevard and the emperor rides in and you would only see that in the time of emperor vill hm. the 2nd bedside kaiser when this tried oh, well the real residence isn't potsdam. it's imperial nature. and royal highness is we're part of the city scape, one of the favorites was crown prince village on price and weaving from his clash,

his nickname, bring it on. oh, he was a horse and car enthusiast with a talent for getting tangled up in political matters. this made his relationship with his father difficult. oh, the air to the throne, the future german emperor for the 20th century. here in a car with a cigarette. oh, through the empire. a bride is being sought for the crown prince. ah, this is the duchess of mecklenburg, cecilia. she's 19 years old. the woman in white. oh cecilia and will help the official engagement photo. 2 hewn to the magnificent wedding in the imperial capital, the great berlin event of 19 o 5. ah,

cecilia goose marie, a beautiful woman from the north is the crown princess, and becomes the fashion icon for women around the world. due to her extravagant hairstyle. these are from the royal family album mother's delight on the road and on the hunt. a separate residence is planned for the young couple in pottstown new garden. it is to be the home salons 1st palace of the 20th century. ah. the salons had already built several futile palaces, but this time would be different. it would correspond to the modern

h o architect powell, shelter, known bark with commissions for the project. construction began in 1913. ah, the architect and historian will scan shesha, specializes in 20th century construction. the conference due to shy of new invite via lloyd to visit in hub boy to bolton's la crown prince was allowed to do as he pleased to waiter soon. and the architect was sent to england to wales, to scotland, to look at great architecture house coma. the result, however, was something completely different. as we can see here tonight, who down this is an old from modern house, more like a large manor,

large country house, or a country estate las wouldn't know until it grew to an inch. blish. blue england is still considered the source of anything modern, including exclusive design. everything has a touch of empire, even though they are now at war with the british. ah, ah, ah. the house is a work of art. in the interior, only the ceilings and wall paneling vermin. the regional furnishings are almost completely lost and with them. so as the memory of cecilia's influence in shaping the palace, if only in terms of furniture some in the eyes you take shows the

interior designer showed the noun books and saw himself as a universal artist. meaning he designed the rooms, wasn't even roy m a started owing to valden as he is. so he was very, very surprised, and certainly also somewhat annoyed when the crown princess cecilia placed pall ludwig close at his side and followed, pushed towards to design to the stage. hm . ah, robust, roomy furniture for overseas steamers. was paola lord, vis trusts, trademark. cecilia's cabin room, though, shows perfectly how the architect could also create something graceful blue. meanwhile, the crown prince's at war on the western front,

his troops alongside him in the trenches. in 1917, the monarchy collapses. in russia, the united states enters the war and sicilian hope palace is ready for its new owners. it won't be the last project for sicilian hope architects who business go the tours to fall. when we know that gandy tossed, the wife of paul ludovic tossed it as introduced hitler to munich society at the end of the 19th 20th to i'm through to him her and essentially taught him to eat with a knife and fork. miss owen gathered s. m. o n z o o, that was how hitler met paul ludovic toast in 1930 and envisioned him as the fuel was 1st architect on sy, in aimed in ist now shooting as foolish. this book here was written by pal schultz, a noun bike. no, no. it's no no docs in

d. u after 1918 she, he had stumbled into an ideological rod to the united monetarily, all of which culminated and an unsavory racist book. he wrote in 1928 called art and race under finance. and often sciences moses was ultimately the blueprint for the 1937 exhibition of degenerate art was as human laws and altered to coons doesn't. as there are already the signs of this strange and twisted volk ish ideology, which was underpinning at lupita and destined, or des shoots a noun berg combined. this with an incredibly radical racism for wooden huh. by choice and the onward, ah. and the sicilian of palace in 1918 the crown princess wrote about restrictions in the household as well as machinations in the homeland and says,

she considers the era the most terrible thing that germans have experienced in 2000 years of history. ah, a revolution, even in the german empire, the proclamation of a new republic and to red flags on the brandenburg gate. but neither the emperor nor the crown prince would lead the army back to the empire, which is in revolt, as had been expected by the aging leads. they are not seeking confrontation. instead, they have escaped in secret to the neutral netherlands as it has had on goss tied a position, arlington malicious a large part of the prussian nobility, and the monarchists never forgave. the emperor and his son for the sovereign oscar lake to at length actions were interpreted as coward as a month in for them in the kids, if it may be, some saw it differently,

a practice. but every source indicates a near universal anger and deep seated dismay. at the flight of these 2 supreme heads of the prussian monarchy kept for a position when i see the crown princess has to cope with the new times alone at cecilia sam, revolutionaries want to put a red flag on her palace because real german properties are considered confiscated until the question of expropriation can be clarified for the crown prince. by now, the former crown prince has been detained on the outpost veering in, in the netherlands there he has to think and make plans. 2 ah, 5 years later, in 1923,

he returns the radical revolutionaries have been defeated. he was also planning a political come back in due course. cecilia hoff remains in the possession of the holland sans and the temporary confiscation is lifted. it's now home to the family, which is the royal institution in republican germany wielding networks and influence. ah, the princes are expropriated, but only partially. they are compensated. nobility were also deprived of their titles, but only in principle. them on the line for government for non monte could forgive you. twist the order of 1st names and titles when poise, meaning your name is no longer prince fawn. hoist ellison. but mister fawn, poison ivy glen. we can see it was all a republican compromise. kanisha compliments. so diana confessed sean, they made

a concession to the nobility by saying to you may keep the titles of what for mother formally, the nobility is abolished fun to formerly long dinner. what does that mean? the daughter does? she may, the people still exist from the families still exist and compared to other great historical examples in the french revolution of the russian revolution. those being the 2 most important ones in the german nobility, retained much of its symbolic and economic power. she under cornwall machine mot by hate. the nazis the most radical anti democrats conquer in the streets. there is crisis in the german republic. it seems to the crown prince that his hour has now come. a fascist italy has a king and a leader, namely, mussolini. what would that look like in germany? crown prince vill, how often receives his good friend, ham, on glaring at sicilian health and even his friend off hitler chapter? oh,

as skip i know not even frustrated. i am deutsche and as for to wish there's a naive, perhaps foolish idea too. that one could use the nazi movement like a trojan horse and toy andreas fit with which one practically jumps out of the trojan horse into the republic and then creates a new monarchy with vill helm as king vit. ham. i'd say with hitler as imperial chancellor on hitler, it's as vice consider st plan owned isn't in 1932 mats. there were very advanced negotiations between hitler and the crown prince about ado on britt loan, a division of power between them. about puck dish and doom fee, the odds as we by not mocked tie, the crown prince would become imperial president of america, and hitler would become his imperial chancellor. wanted clever design that this fails because bill home, the 2nd who was still alive and exiled, forbids this plan it and his son agreed on for beat it. on the later on hey,

the crown prince made a call for the election of hitler at on april 1st 1933 and when the climb glasses and val alpharetta, the crown prince believed his efforts had one hitler, 2000000 votes. but hitler has tricked them all the german nationalists, and the monarchists worse and who is its writer? when comes looking back, one can say these are the friendliness shown by the revolution and the republic to the nobility was never repaid by the nobility to the republic. he might so good sought i. ringback crown prince vill helm appeared at a nazi funeral service for murdered as a man in february 1933. this was more than a private celebrity appearance. he was here on a mission of his own in good at home by federal,

at birth to help with the crown prince is passing us now they can be ready flight, but they're headed up descending the stairs in the rain. yes, hayden, omit, i am gunter elf has appeared here to honor the fallen essay comrade with a wreath even as have many other superiors and leaders of the essay. you are dead. ah, doctor gerbils as thou speaking with the crown french dr. garbage with him horn. ah, mister sasha, next period that's important was the day of pottstown on march 21st 1933, and which includes the great pseudo monarchists both play held in the garrison church and pottstown chateau. and then later in the coal opera house and berlin, doctor sim, bullish dog, extend. it betrayed a symbolic representation of the alliance between the old monarchist forces book symbolized by power upon hindenburg quince. as well as the crown prince. who is

present here with his family of young vincent is quindrel puck, toshiba hoas, salanza, made a symbolically key contribution to this alliance between the old and the new world . i don't know of age, dodson nicholas blake on the garbage split, the hitler's view and gerbils of you, which we know from gerbils diaries of the whole insolence as a whole is that they are useful idiots under us in law to do not. in other words, on these are people we can exploit for our cause and effect. it's kind of up to say was no real mutual respect. i like best as for the photo symbolizes this alliance of conservative and national socialist, or systems of etc, without which they would not have been a january 30th. 1933 glasses, genuine ensemble. and i said without that the 3rd right would not have been created written by ship to may, otto, hitler would not have risen to power coming and going off to you. and you can

basically see that in this photo it, i don't think you should exaggerate the role of the crown prince though, because he is the symbolic figure by been the cause. but by playing such a prominent role homing that he was able to influence almost all the countries conservatives that i stood as london house. a feature story published in a danish magazine in 1934 reported on the sicilian huff palace during the nazi era . as gift and forward to like one person per here's a photograph with a crown prince is standing here in the upper gallery as my college tinkle and he's hitting a punching ball. and that was attached to the hook up here and to the floor down here. and so forth and sitting on the sofa against this wall were 3 of the crown prince's children. but prince frederick and prince prince, who baptists, and the youngest tortoises jojo and watching their father hid this punching ball

with an hour here in the so called breakfast room of the crown prince and princess . it's all that fun and were standing in front of a wonderful carving of use, a vakari who did several very outstanding carvings here in the palace, autism. and there was also a photo in the danish magazine in front of this panel with 2 of the crown prince's sons do with who baptist and freed, racial and their daughter, also called cecilia by the both princes are wearing as a uniforms and posing for the photographer in front of the heater covered in the breakfast room, hetzel's fog light on conflict, eczema the crown prince sends messages back and forth, but hitler, he sends new year's greeting. sand congratulates the fear her on his birth days as well as on the victories over poland, norway, belgium, holland, france,

that that would be the end of the congratulations. mm hm. mm hm. and can the national have my son nicholas one can of course ask me, what did the members of this family do sign the much more interesting question to me is as a van, what did they not do that for immediate? so if a member of this family had openly opposed to national socialism at any time between 19181945 listing, clone plans and 40 imagine at the crown prince had campaigned, not for hitler, but for the republic to form from or for a moderate form of conservative is him, for example, for come when, when luke i showed up. so it is not a completely impossible or absurd idea that something like that could have happened for it, but it did not not avail. the family offered no publicly visible opposition to national socialism either before or during the 3rd dr. diaz. caesar from media. com, i ah

1945 on february, 2nd. the crown princess of sicilian hope is already on her way to berlin's on halter train station. to catch a train to the west. the crown prince is already in bad kissing in for a retreat. or 2 months later, british bombs annihilate potsdam city center. ah, 2 weeks later, the red army enters the city. the end of the war in germany and soviet marshall's you cough walks past berlin's holland soul on monument prussian heritage in ruins. ah, the planned berlin conference of the victors now becomes the potsdam conference of the allies, because berlin was unusable as

a meeting place potsdam is chosen. ah, the large, modern sicilian hope palace seems suitable. the regal residents just needs to be quickly converted into a conference center. lou thus train leash. hobbies is called consistent. it's you. you and jacqueline crown princess to celia and crown prince mil. him probably weren't ready for what was going to happen. bob took dusty. emily caspell courts, the americans would invade here. hold on me, not the red army from war to decile guy here. fun. i also think ought from other palaces that were owned by the family was stored here for light off austin, perhaps also from else palace yard does help, which was the main palace where the crown princess family lived in. felicia and julian dusty aguilar got ha on mom vanished to her former high that they would not

prepared to flee on touch on just took what they needed is hop on. cool. so this place was filled to the brim. here for a place for negotiations. had to be created for 3 government delegations and the undisturbed parts of potsdam, their military consultants, security forces, press technicians, and gast participants from france and poland, also needed accommodation. middle class and upper class neighborhoods became of restricted military area, potsdam architect and preservationist. your glen bag knows almost every house here . this villa was reserved for stalin. i mean cummins aren't just dancer's daughter ali, yada vin colon. you can actually say that the whole historic villa colony her, they all had to get out and vice have been a day. there were german parliamentarian king commissars with white bandages who

went through the houses and said, and within 2 hours of you leave, why a student who hours was given in various sources wants to show from this. and this was obviously also in the minds of those who later wrote it down. i'm off. so need augustine. well, not an issue. there was very little time hauled, half ish lived here, help the happy family gotten big in the fur trade and then ran major department store knotted on the door in the call for a rug traders, estate wouldn't be good enough for stolen. so the soviet leader agrees to staying in a villa. cecilia hope palace gets a big red geranium star in the courtyard. again, it is symbolic. soviet property, any stately furniture that isn't needed for

a conference, is removed from the house. the big round table is said to have been delivered from moscow, although others think it was from berlin. the victor is probably don't appreciate the precious palace horn, solon and prussia. our history who had been a tallish, estee, forced a long d. the impression the americans had at the time was heavily influenced by german immigrants living in the u. s. partnership as were many of the immigrants were from the south of germany to, from the, in away from prussia, the part and so they would say to the americans, she says, the main problem in german history is russia lilies and starts. and you have to smash this crush and state was on t, the russians, the french and the british also shared this belief when they come to potsdam and 45, some call that prussia was the main target to attack target. they believe they had

to break the state. this military power do something to tear mazzocco. she july 16th 1945 u. s. president harry s truman lans in berlin. gato. he believes he has a trump card in his suitcase against allan. he now has the bomb. the soviets do not 1st test the atomic bomb at an experimental station in new mexico 16th july. sir winston churchill also arrived the same day a british war time prime minister on call. and he just doesn't know yet. 6 stolen the generalissimo arrives by train from moscow to potsdam. that's a good 1800 kilometers at the booted 30 boys that there were 3 heavy trains. citizen,

stalin was in the middle one for only bust. a body guards, trains were in front and behind him jesus. and they had to cover a route through the soviet union, poland, and germany, germany. it led for this purpose, the rails were nailed down to the soviets. wider track, age or use. little below guards stood along the track. $8.00 to $12.00 men per kilometer was me that is one and k v d soldier got every 100 meters, say it. right, so good it. oh, soviet feature film liter glorifies stollins journey. ah. the film shows him as victor and sieve here, descending from heaven to his troops into the liberated peoples. stolen has finally become an icon stun in v in the show stool, new styling was in the inexorable process of becoming

a god. him, he was a deity already in the 19 thirty's, but he became an almighty. someone who could hold the world in his hand, only after the war and going scope was through. that's why the title generalissimo was to below his status for him. i think so. the germs, godlike are simply god of the world where what he so he had earned world. soviet people of course, were aware of the time that victory was associated with his name and by b. all europe breathed a sigh of relief except for the germans. their guilt was enormous. for them the conference could become a great reckoning and east of the odor and nice of rivers. the explosion of germans had already begun me. july 17th, 1945. celia and health palace. the conference begins. stolen proposes us. president truman is chairman truman has to be the mediator because

british prime minister churchill and stolen disagree on the future. western border of poland stolen wants to significantly enlarge his empire. but churchill wants to rein him in. the 1st, the issue was the germans and the for occupations. owens, an occupation government. the allied control council is to be installed in my involvement, there was broad agreement on most points the demo, for example, on the democratization of germany, on the decentralization of germany. and on the knots, if occasion to name just these points within. but it was understood differently in the east and in the west. this she didn't stolen, wants to push all of poland westward. poland east must become soviet, germany, thess must become polish. in addition, there's the dispute about the fate of the germans on the other side of the odor and nice of rivers. how many people live there? how many would have to be resettled?

$9000000.00 are only one and a half. and there is also the question of reparations stolen demands, reparations from all for occupation zone. this is vetoed when truman brings his atomic bomb into play with stalin stolen remains unmoved. the france harden the dispute over poland, future western border, and the question of war, reparations. even threaten to derail the conference. press photos of the big 3 in front of the palace show. none of the gallons opponent churchill learned of his election defeat at home on july 25th. he had to leave. so clement, as we arrived, he is a week figure during this transition stolen and truman agree on a compromise. ah,

he done in the beach, takes reparations from their own zone, and in return we the western powers, recognised that the polish western border in the future will run along the oda and nice river size. this is as a concession to the soviet union is all that is the true outcome of the potsdam conference, confident ah, the post war order is now on paper, a declaration of intent and an opportunity. the occupying powers, including france, will together be responsible for all of germany. the political reality of the post war years however, goes in a different direction. piece by piece, the iron curtain will divide the world into 2 hostile blocks. germany will 1st be separated by a demarcation line and leader by wall and barbed wire. germany is divided

into east and west. the potsdam piece resolutions up in smoke. it puts him a conference for kind of times, hunt for the potsdam conference was not a partitioning conference, but it was agreed that the various occupations owns would cooperate within the framework of an allied control council. and i, there were to be central german administration says, and in this respect, the result of the conference basically led directly to the 2 plus 4 negotiations of 1991. not because these negotiations would not have been conceivable at all at the potsdam conference made different decisions time upon for therefore, the german question was kept open until 1999 is not so much him. in 1945, the signs pointed to division and east german land to reform, expropriate large landowners for being supporters of the nazis

without compensation and without concessions. ah, the soviets keep sicilian hope for themselves. ah, and germans are forbidden access for years. meanwhile, what are the soviets doing in the palace? it's a blind spot in the history of the house. for hon is written back of the potsdam museum, previously unknown film footage from 1946 sheds light on the subject. busy marshal . so kolowski receives british and american guests at cecilia and hoff. ah, this is gets nifty conference. that's not the conference does. it does not cover lorenzo's . that doesn't look like your conference, d doff tolten and the women there are also confusing doesn't to

hold us on. that's very interesting. either then does, over co, in the high command is here. he is, it needs representative locations, auto want. and this is one of them is still in some advice ult, and we also know that global political decisions were made their shadows and that leads to a claim by the victorious you, our imogen issue. we're not giving that away issue as i would believe. so that's why it was quite clear to them that they would keep it done, but then that softened. ha, seattle's doses of device to it. mm hm. the fifty's, the soviets have left the palace sicilian hoff comes east. germany's national memorial. ah, at the same time, deep in the west and hacking,

in the former head of household crown, prince wilhelm of prussia is laid to rest. mm. the crown princess cecilia died 3 years after him in bavaria. ah, potsdam, how in so long palace hits or museums? when they're not being used for completely different purposes. celia and hope however, has a special status. the house is a political museum, part of east germany's historical image. the the, and a national memorial. the, the

me, rosa marie hi. this year yvonne was a memorial director of cecilia and hope. when the wall ran through the palace garden, the death strip ran there right along the shore of young fans the late me ah ah, we have in mind to want to mush. we all need a hoof. i never talked about it in my tours, for example, i was embarrassed to her when you have to so many guess against even guests from other countries who don't understand under la can't understand the building of the

wall, fusty. what do you say to them? good, but i of course answered any question that was raised half natalie of thought i didn't mention it. otherwise come a means obviously sh. 1980 sex. another soviet leader arrived at cecilia and huff. he came as a visitor, as a dispos, if not to host for no. i found something at home depot, but this is obviously gorbachev. his visits because no, and i remember that so many people had gathered a long gorbachev, its roots here and stood by the road passage ton. and he had the car stopped and often shook hands with people. you know, he was a beacon of hope for many hostings kreger feler 4 years later in early 1990 there were bananas in potsdam coca cola. freshly ground coffee and the 1st free east german elections.

ah, also in 1990 the potsdam memorial with the red star was discussed openly and its future was even put into question among the stuff done. there were also efforts at that time to not only take away the staff zone, but also to redesign the rudeness would include leaving only the conference whole with the rest of the furniture returned to other policies. i talked to few and they wanted to limit the cmc the conference, so often contra inside the crisis. ah, there were national reflections once the wall fell. germans from west and east were bothered by this room. and the juxtaposition of stars and stripes union jack and

hammer, and sickle in a german palace. ah ah, the right wing isn't interested in discussion and it shows it's a violent potential. july 27th. 1990. shortly after midnight, fire alarm sound flames engulfed the large hall. there has been arson in a building, constructed almost exclusively of wood, from flooring to wall panels and roofs supports the pot. some fire department saves the building. ah, finally, a scientific advisory board from east and west takes on the palace as comfortably him wished aunt for her darwin before a student by the corps problem. before,

before this advisory board even existed, was that there had naturally been a lot of complaints to the foundation to close this exhibition altogether. and he gets to wake up to some historians who were asked quite prominent historians that at the time to close the place down. we don't celebrate our own defeat alarm. i thought it was an important historical site as well as a palace for potsdam and i worked hard to ensure that the building would be preserved. this, that the exhibition would be preserved often. and that's exactly what happened. and it was and the house actually became a very popular palace. 11 of the most visited palaces and potsdam, older all. and after this exhibition was redesign beam. these are after when i started gone back with an and then we look exactly where the ashtrays are and the cigarette pack something with

the kaiser rice, the weimar republic, the nazi era and east germany all left their mark on this house with the whole insole on eagle and the soviet star, german history, impression east german potsdam. ah, with into the conflict zone with tim sebastian forest johnson counting his final days of british prime minister in his grace, but still in offered my guest this week in london is the malcolm rid himself both

for you fun calling secretary. so what happens now to the former ministers of the officials who indulged job booster is a little po, food for the tory party tomorrow conflict. he's on bus in 30 minutes on d. w o in many pollution. so now in the world right now, the climate change. if any, off the story, this is my flex the way from just one week. how much work can really get so have time to act, i'm going on with his subscriber or more news like

ah ah ah ah . does the state that when you news line from berlin, europe looming energy crisis, member states are told to use the less gas to avert a squeeze this winter as brussels warns that russia is using energy supplies as a weapon.
