at first, himmler's department took up the fate of the polish people. then, as the wehrmacht advanced to the east, the nazis began to determine the fate of the belarusians, ukrainians, russians. in may of 1941 , the nazis had officially, planned, put down on paper, a decision to organize a mass goal. of course, to one degree or another, in the winter of 1941-1942, it affected all cities, occupied cities of the soviet union, more precisely all cities occupied in russia, ukraine and belarus. the situation at the front changed, and with it the forms of implementation of the ost plan changed, while the nazi strategy remained unchanged. when nazi germany began to suffer an absolutely clear defeat, the retreat began, the strategy of the higher. lands was adopted, this strategy was also genocidal, why? because, well, the nazis still thought in demographic categories, so when the germans began to retreat, they all the population sought to drive away with them, and to drive away not only the working population, which they needed, but also the non-working populat

americans try to decide between an expanded child tax credit and the thousand-year reich of hamburger himmlerere are some signs that harris has the momentum, because in an historic bellweather, today we learned harris won nickelodeon's 'kids pick the president' poll! [cheers and applause] , on! come on! easy money! congratulations to the vice president, and all the kids' runners up: butt, poop, and donald trump... with a poopy butt. tonight, harris gave a speech that her campaign billed as her closing argument. it took place after we taped our show, but we already know it was rich with symbolism, because she spoke in dc at the ellipse, the place from which trump launched the january 6th attack, to urge americans to turn the page on the divisive and chaotic trump era. yes, it's time to turn the page, and the book is "mopey dick." whale. [laughter] to grab even more attention, the harris campaign also unveiled the first-ever political ad on the las vegas sphere! looked at that! it's the most iconic las vegas political ad since david copperfield pulled bob dole out of a hat. early voting is alre

if you think about all the -- in france, they report to himmler, they are not even in the army. that goes straight to hitler too. on top of this hitler will routinely reach past all the chain of command directly to the people he wants to talk to and he's given them the authority to reach back to him. many of the german commanders who sit in normandy called it command by confusion. and even chief of staff von roush would say, this is the problem of every tyrannical leader. you don't want to give too much power to anyone leader but this command and control system effectively slow down the decision-making of the german war machine on june 6th and thereafter. so what are the results of all of this? first of all the germans only have one domain response to the allied invasion. how do you defend normandy if all you have is an army? that's the first problem. the second one is, we don't have a common operational approach about how we use our best troops. not in intent, not in posture and not in how we use those. next, unbelievable to everybody around in 1940 we have a hierarchical rigid

p.o.w.s how there were to be treated versus the ss under it as you mentioned a separate command chain himmler oh can you hear me so i working. hello hello. okay. okay so there's a couple of things baked into that. one, ss units are different, right? they're fanatical nazis rather than a common german who goes a if they've already, they're not going to stop until our unconditional surrender. i'm going to fight for my homeland. those are philosophically two different people on. top of that many of these units that are in france. in fact, for the first two years of the war, it is backwater of the war. when you're in units destroyed fighting the russians or the soviets we brought you back to france. that's where you'd rest recoup, recover get your replacements before we sent you back. that brutal fighting is background for many of those people who were out there. so when you think about the brutality of the eastern theater it comes the mindset of many of the soldiers who had fought in the eastern theater there one order that sits out there and it's the commando order that basically hitler gives c
