Episode 132

Rare film footage is the focus of this new series that will show aspects of WW2 that go against the grain of the “Good war” narrative. In fact, It’s been suggested that some of the material should be destroyed, that I find frankly outrageous. History, like all the sciences, must be open to the addition of good data points and devoid of political correctness in order to get as complete an understanding as possible.

Here in part 1 we’ll see one reel of six documenting the a cultural visit to Germany of a group of British intellectuals in 1934. In other videos from this series we’ll see footage of corporations that were willing to do business in Nazi Germany and fascist organizations that were active in the Allied nations. This material is historically important, come and see.

Pergamon Museum

The Pergamon Museum was severely damaged during the air attacks on Berlin at the end of the Second World War. Many of the display objects had been stored in safe places, and some of the large exhibits were walled in for protection. In 1945, the Red Army collected all of the loose museum items, either as war booty or to rescue them from looting and fires then raging in Berlin. Not until 1958 were most of the objects returned to East Germany. Significant parts of the collection remain in Russia. Some are currently stored in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow and the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. The return of these items has been arranged in a treaty between Germany and Russia but is blocked by Russian restitution laws.

Among the pieces the museum displays are:

The Pergamon Altar

Market Gate of Miletus

The Ishtar Gate and the Processional Way, Babylon

The Mshatta Facade

The Meissner fragment from the Epic of Gilgamesh.
