Censored history?

[robert_mitic · 9/10 · 25 February 2018]

Very interesting 6-part series offers a another perspective upon some crucial elements of the nazi state and nazi ideology. I'd rate this series 10/10 if some some parts were not censored. To be precise, in the fifth part that deals with the Himmler's managed terror system, also the atrocities of the einsatzgruppen are shown, but the actual archive footage of the Liepaja (Latvia ) massacre is censored (blured). Why??? This is a footage that has been used zillion times in all sorts of 2nd WW documentaries that deal with the Nazi commited mass executions. Imagine the documentary film would show some concentration camp where piles of dead bodies lie all around. Would the producers blur the whole archive footage in order to protect viewers? I guess the parential guidance and the viewer discretion warning because of some extremely violent content is more than enough. I hope censoring archive footage is not the new approach to sensitive historical materials. However, I allow the possibility that the censorship has been done by the TV channel that broadcasted this show (Viasat History) and not by the producers of the documentary film themselves.

Edit archive footage much more carefully-West Point cadets interspersed with Gestapo footage

[SafetyEric · 10 September 2020]

At 10:21:45 into the episode Himmler's Empire of Terror, the editors have placed photos of United States Military Academy cadets in formation on the Plain at West Point, New York, for six seconds interspersed with footage of the Gestapo and during narration regarding the Gestapo. This type of negligent editing is unprofessional and offensive, especially given that those that are unfamiliar with American military history, tradition and uniforms might mistakenly thereafter believe that USMA cadet parade dress is in some way intermixed with the Nazi Gestapo. Please improve your editing processes to prevent such an egregious mistake from occurring again.

What a lot of rubbish!

This is true: The Victors write the History. The financial progress is diminished to nothing. The lies about the achievements unbelievable. The spoiler: Don't believe this rubbish. Do your own research and not only from US, British, Soviet or French sources. Find the true German sources and you'll be astonished.
