What Power Can Do


This is a video just taking all the most brutal moments of Nazi Germany. This video does not need words because the scene says it all. The man they focus on is Heinrich Himmler. He was a Nazi General who was one of Hitler's write hand men. He ordered the death of: Jews, Roma, prisoners of war, communists, anyone whom the Nazis deemed unworthy to live, homosexuals, people with physical and mental disorders, Jehovahs Witness, and members of the Confessing Church. He was a selfish coward. It's hard to understand how people are okay with having that many deaths on their conscience. He was most directly responsible for the Holocaust. People like Himmler and Hitler had complete control because no one had a choice. If you didn't do what you were told you would be killed. Their system was completely different than Churchill's and Roosevelt's. It was based off of fear and none of the people had a say in what was going on.
