The Greatest Story Never Told

I'm just curious what you guys thought after watching the 6½ hour "documentary"?
If you cant find it on your own then this thread is not for you.

TLDR: Good emotional porn about an underdog almost saving humanity if you: "Hush, relax and just let it happen" ;)

<My choice would be: "The series is well made and has a good choice of music, but in the end it's just a conspiracy flick"
But I want you opinion so I ticked "Give them run">

My opinion in more detail:
Heartwarming story about a man that was misunderstood and hated for trying to make the world a better place for all.
The thing that made most suspicious right from the start was the usage and choice of music. After I watched it I checked some of the sources and investigated the claims... and the creator(s) of this narrative did a good job at lulling me into, what I know is, a dangerous(and alluring) state of mind: "I feel this must be right, every rational argument or physical evidence to the contrary must be a conspiracy to cover it up!"

In summary:
The dose of idealistic, underdog-loving, emotional, fanaticism was a welcome break from everyday drudgery, it has been awesome taking a ride on the heart-string-pulling conspiracy train. Now it's time to get back to the method that tracks reality best: physical evidence and reasoned logic.

Can't watch it in Czech Republic, prolly cause we had two major concentration camps established here after we let einstein in without giving him a fight. We're literally to blame for the start of WWII, fmpob.

Bump

I encourage people to watch it. Take it with a grain of salt though, a lot of things being said lacks sufficient evidence, but so does much of the official verson of WW2. I personally don't think einstein was much worse then Churchill and Roosevelt. He certainly wasn't worse then Stalin. The entire national socialism movement could have made the world into a better place, it's a shame it had to end with the ethnic cleansing of jews and other minorities.

or the doctrine of the people who lived during those times and told us in huge detail how exactly everything went down back then

this isn´t murica, Gravy, we actually do get a really good history education and still have people from that time who were able to educate us. The austrians were known to supersede most of the stuff and call bullshit on what happened, but the more they actually tell their kids about what and how it exactly went down, partly frightened, partly (still!) worshipping. I don´t go to jail if I watch pro-squarebeard stuff as long as I don´t overdo it. I just play it save by keeping my "online portfolio" low aswell

btw, if you can find a version with subtitles, watch "Der Herr Karl", although it´s just one-man-cabaret, it was quite a shocker back then since that one guy represents how a lot of people acted back then, he´s especially reflecting the austrian culture and thinking well, a bit too well for the liking of some people since we can be quite twisted

If the education was so good, why should it be outlawed to question history? There should be nothing to hide. That alone makes me all the more eager to question and consider.

again, it´s not outlawed to question history, it´s outlawed to run around and shout "sieg heil" n shit

I've watched a few documentaries and similar stuff, also there's a lot of good and interesting "documentaries" made in Germany during WW2 detailing how they invaded / carried out operations, like this one when I got a bit curious about my own country during ww2 etc.

One thing that I've noticed is that during these "propaganda" movies they never put the allied forces / enemies in bad light but try to give them as much respect as possible, haven't really seen that in allied counterparts, or well at least yet. The history and aftermath of WW2 can be a bit dodgy some places, the victor writes history after all. So personally I think it's better to look at stuff that was documented and written down during the war rather than after.

As for the OP I think that a lot of stuff talking / education about Hilter is a bit too villainous, or am I wrong? Well at least when I learned about him in school our history books doesn't really put him in a bad light but more neutral observation than trying to make him seem like the devil, while in other books / sources it's a lot different.

But it is

He who operates in a manner characterized other than that in § § 3a – 3f will be punished

whoever denies, grossly plays down, approves or tries to excuse the National Socialist genocide or other National Socialist crimes against humanity in a print publication, in broadcast or other media

yeaaah I don´t want to go to jail, thanks 

I guess I overdid it with the sarcasm, sorry for the confusion.

research is fine, actively denying it isn´t
