alive repeated a thousand times becomes the truth the man who said that even proved it the lie became part of himself and the system he served his name was use of he was nazi germany's minister of propaganda the myths that he created exist to this day. about. these are the children of joseph good business.

several years after this picture was taken the third reich spin simple ideologist decided to sacrifice their lives. he did so after realizing that all of his media war story had been last night. from the diary of dr joseph june sixteenth nine hundred forty one. if we win question our methods as it is we have so much to answer for already that we must win otherwise we those who are the head of all that we hold dear will be eradicated so to work. on june twenty second one thousand nine hundred forty one nazi germany invades the soviet union without a declaration of war the bombings and shellings bring about torah and uncertainty of what may lie in store the german army drops twenty two million leaflets on red

army positions the great lie begins. they need minsky out of me a lateral couple up i got. another new majlis move a storm is stalled on that isn't easily enya that put on some play on the night that it was eighty propaganda combine mean. their lies were beautifully phrased read only soldiers were cynically offered to make a choice either to perish at the hand of the indestructible german army surrender and return to their families to live happily ever after one of their goals was to turn the red army soldiers against their commanders and commissars. at the. comparable got their store. was to be some to move them so i need.

to be just a symbol so you can be subtle food if. you can hide. from a memo by the head of the high command of the rare mocked field marshal general with some kind of political compass ours bear a special distinction a red star with the sickle and a hammer on the street they must be separated from other p.o.w.'s in order to deny them the ability to influence captured soldiers upon being separated from the prisoners they are to be eliminated. however even soldiers who weren't political commissars were faced with a life far from the bliss described in germany's power flits by mid one nine hundred forty two less than half of the three point five million red army soldiers who'd surrendered was still a life photo exhibition called through captivity was recently held in moscow in their memory several german students were keen to attend. then what the cutely good

had never been up in the wall or poorly in the junk going to put a welcome welcome wished to me it was you could shift out operating with a well. off need would have no idea what just was nice to wind up in the mean you. sure to put it would you. buy it a more. intimate type of machine i am still a loser leni about santa. able to put out a. memo from my command of the air months confidential september eight hundred forty one. this is the first time that german soldiers face an adversary instructed not only in the ways of war but also politics. rick soldiers have forfeited their right to be treated like crew soldiers in accordance with the geneva convention relative to the treatment of prisoners of war. less than a month after nazi germany invaded the soviet union news came that stalin's eldest son jacob was missing in action still photos of him appeared on german propaganda

leaflets. they read that jake has voluntarily surrendered to the nazis. stork. the new new. starless judge and skipper produced you for your nuance for abuse joe very certain style in the purple and then you stronger or diverse or prudish or it's the real skinny words i mean young of had indeed been captured the only difference was that he was captured during an attempt to break out of a siege rather than voluntarily surrendering he was brought to sachsenhausen concentration camp thirty five kilometers from berlin he was a prof course of prominent prisoner he was not in prison and inside the prison his camp for ordinary prisoners where we are standing now there was a special camp for prominent prisoners and this is where he was in prison yacob

judicially was kept in one of these barracks intelligence officers were interrogating him every day but still couldn't make iraq of cooperate he was in the camp until one thousand nine hundred three there was even a myth that german officials offered stalin son in exchange for german field marshall paolo's had been captured in stalingrad in one thousand nine hundred three another story that was later disproved after yacob biggest fear he realized he was being used by nazi propaganda he decided to take his own life by jumping on a barbed wire in a prison camp here in sachsenhausen. in total over one hundred thousand people perished in sachsenhausen during its years of operation. it was where s.s. officers underwent training in order to serve a new concentration camps located throughout occupied countries. that included death camps built for the purpose of annihilating entire peoples.

the so-called nazi aizen group and killed more than two million jews on occupied soviet soil they deliver death without mercy women and children even the elderly most normal people would go mad having to execute orders like that. but officers in s.s. uniform had no such qualms never for alone did they consider that what they were doing was wrong let alone and being a crime they were trained and prepared by nazi propaganda today even the radical measures are not radical enough heels of couples used to say. here in the us the sergeant german soldiers were captives of another man that in order to bring down the soviet system it was essential to annihilate the jews since they were believed to be the primary foundation of boss of islam in other occupied countries the germans would force the jews into ghettos though they were allowed to

live after invading the u.s.s.r. the nazis began to annihilate entire jewish communities. where he did what group you could possible is. when you put the spittle still of sin here those are needed to give you. an instant show that the can move business glow hope. to belittle the cause of the political move for all you risk use when you do business group report on the. little known using your blood you clearly before that was to move love was really sure when you crossed over neil's. in his younger years joseph goebbels made several unsuccessful attempts of becoming a writer and journalist the career of the third reich smain ideologist took off after the nazis want to elections one of his first initiatives was the practice of book burnings reminiscent of burning heretics at the stake in medieval times the

first book burning took place in one thousand thirty three in the center of berlin under the motto let's clear germany of un-german ideas at that which in many ways had the bullet solution them over at the dumbest thing you might suspect choose to believe which in unison in their. deepest into even on the she shall studios newscast that's what they do must some. i knew she. wasn't going to go to the find me. that did that you decreases i mean she. in today's berlin books are sold right next to the spot where they were once burned there are lots of history books here including those on the nazis rise to power in germany this is the moment when google's office got the green light. the so-called ministry of public unlike meant and propaganda of the third reich was housed in this building. from one nine hundred thirty three to one nine hundred forty one the agency's budget increase nearly ten fold. but i'd be

a cool concept. in this to their. best to please the minium so that's the because they mean it's more that i didn't believe that she could own me at the pride that was a beacon of seals not only in the given say evil but in not that he did what he could but he didn't begin with that honestly and sitting with his you on the program to prospects. these ultra right wing rallies in modern germany they do not directly associate themselves with the ideas of the third reich they are fighting to make jobs available to germans rather than to immigrants from other countries germany has lived through this before and what these slogans led to is well known but for ultra right wing supporters the germany of the 1930's is a model of order and stability. this

is another example of a history lesson some people fail to learn this time in ukraine the slogan glory to ukraine glory to the heroes heard in kiev is a carbon copy of the greeting used by ukrainian nationalists who collaborated with hitler's forces during the war but he. zealots i mean. doesn't use quicken for design school because i choose to share for a few. elite two thousand and fourteen during the so-called euro mind on rally and cheer for local nationalists reverently carried portraits of stoop on by. in one hundred forty one he tried to establish an independent republic of ukraine as a protectorate of hitler's germany. in the it's a story new coke or you.

the. some but it's supposed to be some of the so that's the dawning shish to warn you. begin. to see an excerpt from a letter by the head of the party chancellor a margin mormon from july twenty third nine hundred forty two is. by no means should one introduce any measures giving a non germans a sense of ownership members of the non german population assured in no way have access to higher education that yours of the opinion that reading and writing skills are quite enough for them that includes so-called ukrainians. great army soldiers had to pay a great price to liberate the territories occupied by the nazis victory day is one

of the most if not the most cherished national holidays in russia despite the fact that nearly seventy years have passed since the end of the second world war numerous outrageous myths continue to spread some of which even google's would envy . be if you put it that are providing you don't call the way out of their open about of not preventing. shortly to percentage there could very summers or get there is staggering. cost side a pretty a.b.l. story arcelor business. is naive enough to send yeah brightest russian made sure that if you change your home with anything it professionally it did beast with diane nyad when you covered there it is. now carries a dash when you put that was there. after the war many german generals were all too keen to publish their memoirs while stalin stuff officers were forbidden to do so

that's why much of what's known about the second world war in europe was learned largely from memoirs written by the defeated side. of the. it was a. very hard to take i don't. want to get on here one that you ever had back with the earthquake there are moments. when.

one of. the people. right the simplest. first trick. and i think the term. one a reporter splitter. to me in the. interview.

this is mile of a park a popular tourist destination today but few people know that during the second world war one of the country's top secret constructions was hidden away here so

secret that a special metro line was built to connect it to the kremlin in one thousand three six the district of his mile of a became a forbidden zone construction began on the central u.s. the south stevie i'm named after joseph stalin which is meant for two hundred thousand spectators but three years later work was put on hold the facility disguised as a stadium was in fact already completed until one thousand nine hundred forty one another myth appeared there were rumors that the soviet government had abandoned moscow the offices in the kremlin were empty and that the city had been surrendered to the germans but the truth was that stalin never actually left moscow and continued working in the secret bunker here in his mind that. stalin always spoke quietly for this reason special acoustics were designed so that

everyone sitting at this table could hear him say. the conference hall of the general headquarters looks more like a palace talent's private chambers remain in immaculate condition a battle map hangs on the wall it was updated daily while stalin worked here. another common myth is that stalin and his circle allegedly reinforced the german army with their own hands just before the war started the very much officers are said to have conducted military exercises at soviet training ranges in reality after hitler came to power the volume of military cooperation. between germany and the us. considerably from the diary of dr joseph campbell used to nine hundred forty one cooperation with russia was in fact

a stain on our honor but we shall soon wipe it clean i said this to your good agrees with me completely that your believes the operation will take about four months but i believe even less where on the brink of an unprecedented victorious military campaign we must. research are eager to please is the author of the book the great war that was lied about based on archive materials it is a book the author attempts to debunk the most common myth namely that stalin was preparing to attack nazi germany himself but hitler turned out to be smarter and struck first. of course i mean. give them some good. listen enough. of us vs them we about seems like the only.

principle but you know at the up across the peninsula a new book. it's a little something good to see a push to publish an illusion. in one thousand nine hundred eighty one the soviet defense industry was working at full capacity despite this the number of german military units at the border exceeded the soviet armies five fold this distribution of forces would have made a preemptive attack on germany unwise. the first days of the nazi invasion remain shrouded in mystery and yet there was one myth during the years of perestroika stalin had so much faith in hitler's non-aggression pact with the soviet union that he was blind to the german threat and consequently failed in his own responsibility as the country's commander in chief. the myth that stalin was in a state of shock could be easily refuted the recently declassified document reveals

stalin shadow for june twenty second one hundred forty one the day nazi germany invaded the u.s.s.r. . stallion's visitors people's commissar for foreign affairs moloto variety at five forty five left at twelve o five for general staff joke of the ride five forty five left up to eight thirty am but the people's commissar for foreign affairs visions be arrived at seven thirty left the ten forty come in turn leader dimitrov arrived at eight forty left at ten forty. thirty four. thirty. if it was for the. first. fair. fight. this is. not a would be doing near the a good that is back in the survey in the more than

a gold star to star in the beloved ne true push up match and you have with them suggests that each show him in the national wrote you was split showing the story you will move. the model in the readers right into star sure you . hear from the brandenburg gate in the heart of berlin nazi troops marched before heading to the eastern front prior to invading the soviet union germany had prepared the so-called plan aust of plan east it would have involved about eighty percent of the population of conquered countries to be moved out by force and replaced with people of the master race the plan was to be carried out immediately after germany's victory over the soviet union.

the plan to colonize parts of the soviet union extended over the next thirty years as long as german troops continue to fight it remain top secret in order to avoid an uprising of the population of the occupied territories was still being fed myths about their future unhappy prosperous life according to the planned two cities were to be completely destroyed leningrad and moscow. the siege of leningrad lasted nine hundred days during which nearly six hundred thousand people died of starvation in recent years another myth has appeared that such human losses could have been avoided if the soviet command had surrendered the city to the nazis but anyone who says that has no idea of. hitler's master plan and the fate he had in store for the city and its residents. from the diary of the chief of the general staff from sculptor july eighth nine

hundred forty one the jurors determined to raise moscow and leningrad to the ground to make sure that we don't have to feed their population went to the cities must be demolished by airstrikes this national catastrophe will not only wipe off the centers of both of us but also that of the entire muscovy. one year after the siege of leningrad began a break in the course of war finally arrived. field-marshal powerless we both are

of operation barbarossa was defeated at stalingrad. it then became clear to many for math so jews and officers that the quick and victorious war that good was promised on the eastern front but also turned out to be a myth. after the defeat in the battle of stalingrad many high ranking nazi officers were taken prisoner they were brought here to appeal w. camp outside moscow after that great defeat many captured nazis began to cooperate with soviet authorities and apply their own propaganda technique to anti fascist campaigning. from that moment on goebbels propaganda had to compete with pamphlets encouraging german advance forces to surrender to soviet troops. the national put up a gun the zilla. and those that i knew or some near
