hitler couldn't.and crucially, as i say, most of the pilots survived to fight another, whereas the germans didn't. or what about the v one, av2 offensive against antwerp mentioned earlier pretty horrific photograph. i'th but it does bring home the horrors of war. and in fact i included in my my book tub the v one of two completely inaccurate killed hureds of civilians and servicemen failed to make any impact the dogs whatsoever. and likewise what about the sas that offensive to recapture the french city of strasbourg drive a wedge between the french and american armies and hopefully throw back the allies, get in the new year. well, way too late to have any on the fighting in the dense dense. and the french understandably said they were not going conduct a tactical withdrawal from strasbourg. it's a matter of national honor which forced both the french armies to fight where they stood, which they did. germans didn't really have strength to make much headway and. the whole thing ran out of steam very qu

this was already the hitler youth, it was their philosophy, hitler velocity -- philosophy.as in this book. it is an amazing, amazing thing. i did not think it would happen in one million times again that my daughter would go to a bookstore to find a book for her father, she buys the book she thinks he would like, she gives it to me, and there is a picture of me, 80 years later. that the picture was taken. it's amazing. peter: during the war, were you able to get information besides propaganda from the german radio? mr. wurfl: yes, we did. we got information from the british broadcasting company. we would turn that on occasionally at night and listen to what was really truly happening in the war. peter: was it dangerous to listen to the bbc? mr. wurfl: yes, if you got caught, yeah. you are not supposed to do that, of course. but we did. i remember so well when i watch bbc and i finally see the americans landed, dj in normandy, -- dj -- d day in normandie and they got a foothold and they were on the beach and they finally, we were so happy because we felt now the americans ar

was staying, and hitler came down for tea.d a real sweet tooth, and goering introduced them, and hitler kissed her hand. according to sigrid, he was very fond of kissing women's hands, she describes there's a right way to kiss hands and a wrong way, and what he did was the wrong way. it was one where he would take the woman's hand and then stare into her eyes while he kissed her hand. she had always found that approach repulsive, so she immediately stiffened up, hitler recognized that she was not succumbing to the charm that so many others succumbed to. he stiffened up as well. it started off their relationship on a difficult footing. he never tried to kiss her hand again, she always said that when she met him in the future, she got a good, manly handshake. but despite this mutual disdain, one-on-one interviews with him in december of 1931. it was an important interview, because in that interview, he basically made it clear that he didn't have to take germany by force. that he was getting more and more power with every electio

stalin demanded that his allies strike at the heart of hitler's empire and. north-western europe to distract and draw off a portion of the german forces that were attacking the ussr. roosevelt also favored an assault northwestern europe, but realized the attack would require time for careful planning preparation. churchill for a more limited peripheral strategy attack along the edges of the axis. not until november 1943, at big three meeting in tehran were the allied leaders able to agree to a spring. 1944 invasion. though the war was far from won. the talks also included discussion of a postwar nations organization and soviet fears of a resurgent germany led russians to demand territorial adjustments in eastern europe to establish a larger postwar buffer zone between germany and the ussr. the allies also agreed that they would accept nothing less than an unconditional surrender from the axis powers. as broke on june 6th, 1944, the largest amphibious invasion force in history massed the waters of the english channel. the long awaited invasion of northwestern

she was meeting with goebbels at the hotel where hitler was staying. hitler had a sweet tooth.oering introduced them. he kissed her hands. she said there's a right way to kiss hands and a wrong day. what he did, she said, was the wrong way. he stared into her eyes and kissed her hand. she didn't like that approach, she stiffened up. he noticed, he stiffened up as well. it started off their relationship on a difficult footing. he never tried to kiss her hand again. she said in the future she got a good handshake. despite the mutual disdain, she had one of the rare one-on-one interviews with him in 1931. that was an important interview. in that interview he basically made it clear that he didn't have to take germany by force. that he was giving more -- he was given more and more pow we are every election. and he really thought he'd be in control within a year. he missed that by only a month. and he also made id clear that once he and the nazis were in power they intended to undo the weimar republic and create a republic of what she described with some irony as truly germanic men.

hitler's right hand man. and the person who was responsible for this idea about trying trap foreign journalists. she publicly confronted him about the incident in front of the foreign press community and told them, you know, none of us are stupid enough to run this. there's no point in you doing this. and he lost it. and he snapped back at her, you never learn to show proper respect for state authorities. i guess that's because you come from that crime ridden city of chicago. after that gathering and her, his staff always referred to her as that dragged them from chicago and she wore that title with pride. you know, she ways to get around the tightening controls that the nazis were putting in place and one thing she did was created a pseudonym which would allow her to write about dangerous topics without her name being attached to them. and she came up with the idea, september of 1936, the chicago the chicago office sent an instructions for her to paris asking her to write an in-depth article about the night

had that happened, we could have stopped hitler, they could have preventive world war 2 because hitler was weak and no, he was weak and he was blessing. and assuming that the west was not gonna stand up to him at the west was hoping and many ro, elements in the west were hoping that he was just going to go east. and so in the thirty's, the soviets are the ones who are most strongly opposes to the nazis doubles and drawing a welcomed on a grand scale the fastest at least permits to support poles in the struggle against the. so it's not just a bulky, it is that's dangerous. the rush of itself, and in that sense, the interest of poland and germany come upside having, gathering, and conversation with polish motional rich. this makes the of the 1934 prance invaded algeria and straight away the french started inhabiting it to strengthen their position. the column is known as the new art to the best land. from day one, the local population was put into an unequal position and was briefly exploited. this cause and as these goods and the people of l. g area began their long term bite for indepe

had that happened, we kind of stopped hitler, the cutter preventive world war 2, because hitler was weak. and no, he was weak. and he was bluffing. and assuming that the west was not gonna stand up to him at the west was hoping and many ro, elements in the west were hoping that he was just going to go east. and so in the thirty's, the soviets are the ones who are most strongly opposes to the nazis and poland doubles and drawing a welcomed on a grand scale. the freshest, elite promise to support poles in the struggle against the. so it's not just a bulky of ism that's dangerous, the rush of itself, and in that sense, the interest of poland and germany come upside having, gathering, and conversation with publish marshall rich. this makes the the materials raised in the georgia and capital for a full nights in a row that says a nation pro he prism who buying. so demons are just as soon won't stand down when it expires this month. i said, said, says the serial people on now will the tub and then ever indicate service. but as of say, hot also bugs it's support for them on the new leadership v

hitler used this film showing the horror and detailing... the formidable power of its nazi—era propaganda films? or the brilliance of its more contemporary, authentic relationship dramas? berliners want the world to know german cinema has a lot to offer that's distinct. it's actual cinema. it's not highly commercial stuff. it's about humans. german cinema is very important but it had been hurt by german history. without german cinema, i worldwide, film would not be the same. i've decided it's now time for me to take a personal look at german cinema history. because i grew up in the uk in the aftermath of world war ii when anti—german sentiment was rife, and because i have german—jewish ancestry, i was initially hesitant to fully engage with german cinema. for many years, i've come to germany as a film journalist to report on modern german cinema but i've never really come to terms with the country's film classics. now, the time has come to change all that. to explore the richness and history of german cinema, i sought out four film lovers to

hitler's american friends. so, ladies and gentlemen, to discuss and the art, then please join me in welcoming greg fantino and bradley hart. well, thank you very much jeremy, for that very kind introduction. and colonel, thank you so much for being here with us today, too, for this important, i think, really kind of table setting discussion, the conversations we're going to hear throughout the day. you've written that the arden could best be described as not an intelligence failure necessarily, but a command failure. and before we about the events of december in january 1944, i think it's worthwhile about the background of intelligence in the us army, which is something of a circuitous history that a lot of people aren't really familiar. how was army intelligence in december of 1944 and what were the key sources and methods were being used by the us and, its adversaries at this point in the war? i am going to address all those things right after i recognize a couple of people that i like to do. it's probably no

joseph, who was hitler's chief propaganda, said a lie, told is a lie. a lie told 1000 times is the truth. and so if i just repeated enough, oh, kamala harris was destroyed in interview. some people will bother to watch it and just read it and believe it to be true. and others will say, oh yeah, yeah, that that's that's what happened. i don't think happened at all. but it is it's a really interesting phenomenon. what i found even more than the attacks on kamala and fox were eric trump and others that trump did such a great job in his speech to the chicago club. you know, was a complete disaster. but, you know, i find the you know, i've worked at the washington post for most of my life and i love the the press and what we do but i find certain contradictions in dealing with trump because it's a completely different, you know, ballpark basically. you know and so he attacks press. he calls us the enemy of the people and i think that is to some degree, a defensiveness on the of the press and what has become the cliche lately, which is seen watching, you know

now these 2 powers, it's an attempt to equate socialism with fascism, you know, as style in with hitler and so forth. that really the opposite is true. a crucial factor. and so if you have an ultimately an allied victory, if i hadn't had that extra 2 or 300 kilometers to travel a my brother well have, have, have occupied moscow. likewise, it's quite possible that the, that it's a plant in granite because the german armies were very close to women cleaning grad as well. and if they had not had that extra couple of 100 kilometers to travel capture leningrad, regina declared that he was going to kill over habits. i'm going to go ahead and destroy the city and give it to finland. and by the way, you finish liter marshall, man, i'm was a 100 percent in favor of that but, and expose the bankruptcy of western policy to in refusing to make a treaty with the soviets. and it was as should it exposed the betrayal of the polish government. at 1st, hitler plans to use poles by offering them the role of julia ally and his campaign against russia. and however, considers itself to him and he's 40 flesh

i stood on top of the cliff where 225 rangers risked everything to breach hitler's atlantic wall. i prayed as the crosses of men who gave everything to literally save the world. not hyperbole, to save the world. i spoke with some of the last surviving veterans from that fateful june day. there's another moment in particular, another moment in particular that stayed with me. when i was standing with other european leaders at the cemetery, i saw those veterans, a 99-year-old man who had met president zelenskyy because other world leaders were at that function as well. the veteran told president zelenskyy, i remember hearing pactly what he said. he said, you are the savior of the people, end of quote. president zelenskyy shook the veteran's hand and said no, no, no. you saved europe. you saved europe. it was a reminder that every generation, every generation, must defeat democracy's mortal foes. every generation must stand up to the forces of darkness, the forces of division. every generation must honor the service men and women who dare all and risk all to ensure that freedom endure

and if he knows that this man followed on the side of hitler and calls him a hero of ukraine and the hero of canada, then he is a scoundrel who it looked absolutely disgusting that everyone was applauding and nazi sylvester, up by trio, opened up a whole town of worms and now it looks like these new charges over a violating put war monuments to crazy and nazis by this activist is once again bringing the whole issue up for another code of white washing by the establishment here. collecting genocide as of as evil own glasses, i pro nazi you put a low beef through lives in kind of that because it's useful for later in this world war 2 can there's been a hub of this hard line, ukrainian nationalism. they use that to do these stabilize and undermine this will be union during the cold war. as soon as you can in independence. they have been a very powerful force in ukraine and internationally in terms of pushing this sort of, um, as calling an anti russian ukranian nationalism. and that's, of course, really dovetailed with, with a you need those objectives in, in ukraine. and so this, this,

roosevelt sent a letter to adolf hitler asking him to respect the sovereignty of 31 countries sweden, denmark. >> netherlands. >> the nazis response in palestine, egypt was. hysterical laughter. >> the nazis laughed at roosevelt's gesture just as they laughed at american power. >> from deutschland, hitler knew america would do nothing to stop the great german war machine. >> this country should heed the advice of its first president and avoid all foreign entanglements. >> germany invaded poland in september 1939. >> this nation will remain a neutral nation. >> but fdr knew that staying neutral would threaten america's security before long. >> you see, fdr slowly maneuvering the u.s. population and policy makers towards intervention in the war. >> i asked this congress for authority and for funds. >> roosevelt convinced congress to finally arm the embattled allies with an isolationist argument that they would like. >> the idea was, let's build weapons and sell them to britain and france so they can do the fighting. and roosevelt said that will keep america out of war. >> guns and munit

next on hitler's list was london.roosevelt ordered bombers for a desperate britain, but woodring refused. >> fdr couldn't have an isolationist pacifist as your secretary of war. >> woodring lost his job, but not his cause. he walked out of the white house and joined charles lindbergh's america first committee. the committee would be remembered for the antisemites in its ranks, but its support ran well beyond just bigots. gerald ford, the poet robert frost and the future supreme court justice potter stewart were all associated with the group. isolationism was so popular that it even threatened fdr's reelection in 1940, requiring a somewhat misleading campaign promise. >> your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign war. >> he had to know that wasn't true, but he knew he had to get reelected. so he went ahead and said that. >> fdr won the election, but around 80% of americans still remained opposed to entering the war. all of that would change in a single day. >> december 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infa

but hitler could have cared less about what biology or scientists were saying was for him. judy is and was the enemy racially biologically politically and culturally? and if the german was to survive as a culture and state, then it would have to be destroyed. the nazis murdered 6000000 jews, industrialized genocide on a scale that remains unique in history. theories of race have long since been refuted. there are no human races. so what does racism look like today? like we said at the start, people still constantly seek to distance themselves from others. many will take to the streets to protest against emigrants because they feel threatened by them. and some political movements claim they'll free people from the threat desk cancer. that's the whole thing. the whole sure bang no longer requires the concept of res. biology doesn't play a big role leads or is ation. instead we talked about culture about people about society and i stuff, it's a bit different in the us because race has a different status there. but even there, if you look at how trump he talks about these things that we ju

the ones hitler and his followers laid out the ideas in his book mind comes, but they also focus the whole problem on a racial contract. namely that between ariens and semis, so germans and jude with the latter declared a kind of counter rates and tools and asking us that's not a darwinian concept, like with dar when the fight for survival is taking place everywhere transition. but hitler could have cared less about what biology or scientists were saying was for him, judy, isn't, was the enemy racially biologically politically and culturally? and if the german was to survive as a culture and state, then it would have to be destroyed. the nazis murdered 6000000 jews, industrialized genocide on a scale that remains unique in history. theories of race have long since been refuted. there are no human races. so what does racism look like today? like we said at the start, people still constantly seek to distance themselves from others. many will take to the streets to protest against emigrants because they feel threatened by them. and some political movements claim they'll free people from

on the 50th anniversary of the hitler, stalin non aggression pact which had divided north eastern europe into german and soviet spears of influence, a demonstration of solidarity and to call for freedom and independence from the soviet union. i'll be in the lily. it was one of the popular friends biggest protest events oboski search. it was simple to play, also includes the idea of a return to europe in all one of the periods away towards nato membership. on the heads of a balding stage, which is why the baltic way no longer belongs to our people. tom sondra calling. it was a key figure in the movement and a leading member of the popular front of lafayette, a political group committed to latvian independence. she's now a member of the european parliament. it's not the same cotton. no, i think i remember exactly when i had my personal awakening for you folks, or it was the 14th of june, 1987 when the helsinki, 86 movement called on people to leave flowers by the freedom monumental spinning and remembrance of the large scale deportations on the 14th of june, 1941 was real or not the, but i

and if he knows that this man fought on the side of hitler and calls him a hero view, crane, and the hero of canada, then he is a scoundrel who it looked absolutely disgusting that everyone was applauding and nazi. so that grew up by true though, opened up a whole town of arms and now it looks like these new charges over a violating quote war monuments, to crazy and nazis by this activist is once again bringing the whole issue up for another code of white washing by the establishment here. canadian genocide, octave is evil, own glass haze. i pro nazi you put a low beef through lives in kind of that because it's useful for later this world war, 2 candidates been a hub of this hard line, ukrainian nationalism. they use that to do the stabilize and undermine this will be union during the cold war. as soon as you credited.

i've got a cool father stand in the wake of the hitler style impact, also known as the muller top ribbon, trump packed the soviet union, occupied latvia in 1940 and deported tens of thousands of innocent people to siberia. several 1000 kilometers east. taken away from their homeland, and in many cases, their very lives taken away the will to be at a the, the, the war began in 1941. so they did. ortiz faced and extreme struggle to survive. when foxes, they cut off the guns, they were left with practically no food of mom or father loved defense to look at medicament missing office ma'am, to my mother always dropped off on an uninhabited island. ex, together with 200 other people underneath it. they had to dig their own earth huts, housing, and somehow find something to eat. the 3 so events in ukraine are bringing all of that back up the, the not own fear of history repeating itself. miles come off to the car to a fear that is very strong. give me the system very to. so the beach oh, good. i love being russian writer, marina cost. and yet scott was one of the co founders of the popular fron
