1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hello, delicious friends, and welcome to Who Did What Now?

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: The history podcast That's not your history class with me

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: your host Katie Charlwood, history harlote and reader of books.

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: So remember last week when I was saying about the

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: different ways that people perceive me, like if they've seen

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: me for the first time doing this Nazi concentration camp series,

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: or if they've known me for a long time or

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: watched me for a long time, And the people who

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: have seen me for the first time are like, you're

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: so animated and perky and blah blah blah blah blah.

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: And anyone who's watched me for any length of time,

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: or anyone who knows me personally is like, girl, are

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: you okay? Because like we can see that this has

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: really taken out on you. We see how withdrawn well yeah,

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: how like muted you are, how lower your tone is,

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: like how this is affecting you, Like to the point

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: my own mother phoned me because she was genuinely concerned

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: for my mental well being, Like she was worried that

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: this whole Nazi concentration camp series was taking a toll

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: on my mental health. Now here's the thing, there's no

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: way to look at this information. There's no way to

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: go through it and to write it out and research

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: it and look at, you know, the photographic evidence and

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: listen to the survivor testimonies. There is no way to

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: go through all of that and not be affected. There's

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: no way. You have to be devoid of emotion and empathy.

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: And because I studied this for six now seven ish years,

28
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I have actively avoided going deep into it because I

29
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: know how bad it is. But there were so many

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: people out there who don't know like most parts of this,

31
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: Like I mean, it's a huge, huge topic.

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: It's very deep, it's very it's multi layered, and there

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: are spider grams upon spider grams, and there's no way

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: to cover it all without like.

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: Years years of discussing it. But I am doing my

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: best to provide context in a full, comprehensive understanding of

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: what is happening. And that's what I'm really doing with

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: those videos on social media. And there were so many

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: people out there who don't understand what led to the Holocaust,

40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: the build up. They don't understand, you know, how it grew,

41
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: They don't understand how the network existed, And the only

42
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: thing they know is six million, two wage people were murdered.

43
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: That's the only information they have, and that is the

44
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: only constant that I've managed to find apart from within

45
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: the Holocaust denials, who are their own disgusting little bucket

46
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: of fish. Holocaust denials are really simple to shut down

47
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: at the best at times, because how can you have

48
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: less cognitive skills than a ham sandwich? Because how can

49
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: you believe that every single nation in the world, or

50
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: at least almost every single nation in the world, agrees

51
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: that the whole Holocaust is a factual, historical event. Nobody

52
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: can agree on anything, right, How can you think it's

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: a lie and they all agreed because nobody can agree,

54
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: Like what came first the chicken or the egg, is

55
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: a jaffagg a cake or a biscuit, No, nobody can

56
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: agree on it. And you think everybody did. No, No,

57
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous and like, but yeah, they are their own thing.

58
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: But something I've noticed happened, especially in recent days, is

59
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: the accusation that talking about non Jewish victims of the Holocaust,

60
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: or at least other victims of the Holocaust, is somehow

61
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: anti Semitic, Like I was literally called a Holocaust hijacker,

62
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: for talking about disabled people being the first group to

63
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: be murdered en mass by the nazis an action t

64
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: for it, Like what in the able is a motherfucker?

65
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Like if you're watching my entire concentration camp series and

66
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: your first thought is, wow, that's anti semitic, I genuinely

67
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: believe that you need a medical intervention, like you need

68
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: a psychological evaluation because something is not right there. But anyway,

69
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: not only am I like dealing with this horrific subject matter,

70
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: but I'm being attacked from all angles. And then of

71
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: course there's always some arsehole who's like complaining about how

72
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: I dress or my weight or some other nonsense, and

73
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: it's like, can you please shut the fuck up? Okay, plays,

74
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: And honestly, I just I'm tired, I'm exhausted, and this

75
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: is fucking's stressful. But here's the thing. A lot of

76
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: this information isn't accessible. It's not easy to find, not necessarily,

77
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: and unless you know what you're looking for, you might

78
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: not be able to find it. And so there are

79
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: a lot of barriers to education anyway. And half the

80
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: stuff I get is from like archives, scholarly articles, journals,

81
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: other languages, you know, propaganda, misinformation and reading through that

82
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: as well. That's what I do, you know. And again,

83
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: so there's so much barriers to this information into education.

84
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: If not me telling you this, if not me finding

85
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 1: a way to share this with you, then who Nearly

86
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: every history documentary that is out there is about fucking

87
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: tanks and the looftwaffa, you know what I mean. It's

88
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 1: about those things, not about people, not about the camp

89
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: systems themselves, not really, not ever. And I know this

90
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: is taken at all, but I promised, I promised that

91
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: I would continue doing this until the end of August,

92
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna fucking do it and I'm not going

93
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: to stop. And anyway, I know what you're thinking, you're

94
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Kerry Carey. It's been almost six minutes, quite ol jibbled

95
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: jabb but in fact me, in fact you, I will.

Speaker 1: and the Holocaust, historical society are usidin comfortably good, then

117
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: let's begin. The man who would go on to earn

118
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: the Moniker, the Butcher of Poajov was born Amon Leopold

119
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: Gout on the eleventh of December nineteen o eight in Vienna,

120
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: which at the time was the capital of the Austrian

121
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: Hungarian Empire. He was born to Amon Franz Gout, the

122
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: owner of a publishing house, and Berta spend Good now Amon.

123
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: He was the only child of the upper middle class

124
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 1: couple and was expected to live quite a comfortable life,

125
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: take over the family business and continue printing military books,

126
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: religious pamphlets and postcards. He attended a Catholic school and

127
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: then went on to an agricultural college of all things,

128
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: but this was not to be. He only lasted there

129
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: a couple of months. So like by the time he

130
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: is a teenager, right by the time he's starting this college,

131
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: his country has changed. So the Austria Hungarian Empire, it

132
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: was the second largest country in Europe. It had a

133
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: dual monarchy, and it was huge, right, and it was

134
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: very expansive, to the point that if you have seen

135
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: the sound of music and you think to yourself Jaz

136
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: How was Captain von Trapp a navy captain in a

137
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: landlocked country, And that is a fair question if you

138
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: don't know the history of Austria. So initially it was

139
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: a massive area and it was disassembled after the First

140
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: World War, so there was a coast, right, so it

141
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: covered like Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Austria, Hungary,

142
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: Bosnia and Herzegovna, and also parts of Romania, Poland, Ukraine,

143
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: Serbia and Italy. So there was a law of space

144
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: that was covered by you know, this empire. But of

145
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: course afterwards involvement in the First World War, things split up,

146
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: right and for good. This would have happened during his

147
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: sort of childhood adolescence, like the country would have changed

148
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: as he grew up in it. And at the age

149
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: of seventeen, after he left the agricultural college which was

150
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: like near the Czech border, if I'm not mistaken, So

151
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: he ends up joining a Nazi youth group and he's

152
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: with him for two years before he joins the Hymn

153
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: there the Home Guard, right, so this is a nationalist

154
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: paramilitary group, and he ends up being a member for

155
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: three years and so this particular Home Guard it was,

156
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, a rapidly anti Semitic branch,

157
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: and he was he was a membership all of it,

158
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,239
Speaker 1: but he dropped that in order to join the Austrian

159
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: brand of the Nazi Party. So after the Wall Street

160
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: crash happened, the Nazi Party grew exponentially in Germany. It

161
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: went from like five percent of the votes to I

162
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: think like forty five. It might not be forty five exactly,

163
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: but it just it jumped and it was massive. And

164
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: the Austrian branch decided that it was going to try

165
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: and get other fascist groups to merge to like sort

166
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: of build this momentum, but it didn't happen, and so

167
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: then the Nazis say, well, you can either be part

168
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: of us or not part of us, Like your loyalty

169
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: has to be to us alone. And so that's how

170
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: they basically set it up. And so in September nineteen

171
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: thirty he was assigned the party membership number five one

172
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: zero seven six four. So he applies in nineteen thirty

173
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: to like become like an SS, but he doesn't actually

174
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: get anything for another two years because it's not until

175
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: he's twenty four that he actually manages to join the

176
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: show staff and gets his SS number four three seven

177
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: six three. So when Good actually joins the Nazis, this

178
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: is before Hitler's rise to power, and because of this,

179
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: he's known as an alta Kampha or an old fighter,

180
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: which we'll get back to all that in a wee second.

181
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: But growing up Good, he's basically isolated. Right. He was

182
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: raised by his aunt mainly, which was not unusual for

183
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: the time. What was unusual was that the reason for

184
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: this was because his father was traveling as a publishing

185
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: mogul and his mother was running the business in Vienna

186
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: in his absence. So he's being raised by his aunt.

187
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: He's an only child. He apparently doesn't have any friends.

188
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: Whom's to say why that is? Here's the thing. Here's

189
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: the thing he talks about, this being being like a

190
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: big factor in his life that he tells us to

191
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: his mistress, right, and he here's the thing. Being an

192
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: only child might be lonely, but if your response to

193
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: loneliness is to become a Nazi, well you've got some

194
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: huge fucking issues, okay, Like, and he would like tell

195
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: his mistress as well that he joined the Nazi Party

196
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: to oppose his parents' bourgeois life, like all right, I

197
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: either rebel without a clue, make her just a teenager

198
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: with an attitude problem and a desperate need for attention

199
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: and belonging, like he wants power. Like his parents tried

200
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: to get him to go to like proper schooling and

201
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: to get proper educated, and he's like, no, I'm going

202
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: to go to an agricultural college. And it's like, how's

203
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: that going to help you become a publish and mogul.

204
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: He's like, no, no bis for me. So he's working

205
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: his way up the Nazi ladder. He starts as a

206
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: member of the Essay as the brown Shirts, and then

207
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: he moves into the SS. So he was promoted in

208
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty three to zug Fuel of the fifty second

209
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: SS standard. Then he was promoted again to says Chaft.

210
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: So other Nazis they thought he was swell, but the

211
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: authorities were not happy with him doing Nazi shit like,

212
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, purchasing bombs for Nazi activities. See Austria had

213
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: declared the Nazi Party illegal on the nineteenth of June

214
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty three, and so the party just says like

215
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: fuck this for a game of soldiers and sets up

216
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: shop in Munich. It's like tu Bavaria, right and good

217
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: he would smuggle weapons and radios and like act as

218
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: a mule, sorry, act as a carrier for THEESS and

219
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: so he gets arrested in October, but he's released two

220
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: months later for lack of evidence. See the Austrian government

221
00:14:52,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: under Chancellor Eenkobert. Dolphus was incredibly anti Nazi, and after

222
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: they attempted Nazi uprising in February nineteen thirty four, Dolphus

223
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: established a new constitution that basically gave him ultimate Pillar,

224
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: although he didn't actually live long enough to do anything

225
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: with that power, because he was assassinated in a failed

226
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Nazi coup on the twenty fifth of July that year,

227
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: so like a couple months later, and most historians agree

228
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: that Good played a part in at least planning the assassination.

229
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: He was again detained, but managed to evade execution somehow

230
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: and flee to Germany, where, well, I'm glad you asked,

231
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you to the SS training facility in Dachau. Yes,

232
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: next to the Darkau concentration camp, where he tried to

233
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: advance but ended up leaving because he butted heads with

234
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: his Obivia, Alfred Beigler. So there he is effectively banished

235
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: from his home country because you know, he joined an

236
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: evil fascist group and tried to do evil fascist things

237
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: and then did not get on with his evil fascist

238
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: boss because they had different evil fascist ideas. So what

239
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: does it do, well, what any man standing on his

240
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: own two feet would do. He goes to work for

241
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: his parents publishing business in Munich and he gets married

242
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: due to pressure from his parents because they're like, what

243
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: are you doing? Get married, get a job, and so

244
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: he marries Olga Janoshik, and shocker, they get divorced after

245
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: only a few months of marriage. Color me surprised. Meanwhile,

246
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: the Austrian government Undercurt Soshnik maintains the anti Nazi stance

247
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: and Austrian Nazi members they would just decline like those

248
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: numbers were dropping. But there was a warm brewing on

249
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: the horizon. So it all changed after the Anschlus when

250
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: Germany goose stepped in and took over Austria. Now you'll

251
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: hear words pallied about like anext or occupied, like such

252
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: innocuous terms for invade and takeover. But before the Anschlus,

253
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: like before all that happened, like in there is just

254
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: the year before Gout had rejoined the Nazis, because he'd

255
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: left in what was at thirty four and he rejoined

256
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: in thirty seven. So he returns to being an SS

257
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: member and had even written to the Austrian Refugee Society

258
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: and requested that his Nazi Party membership be transferred from

259
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: Austria to Munich. But it was after the Anschlus that

260
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,239
Speaker 1: Gout could actually return back to Austria without fear of

261
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: being arrested, you know, for doing Nazi shit. And so

262
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: here he was at twenty eight years old and wanting

263
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: to advance in his career and just be a good Nazi.

264
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: And what is the core belief Like, what is the

265
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: core of the Nazi belief system? If you guessed eugenics,

266
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: you guessed right. See. Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS,

267
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: issued a directive that all SS men between the ages

268
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: of twenty five and thirty were to get married and

269
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: start having children, well, their wives were to start having children.

270
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: This was to ensure that they would produce a generation

271
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: of ideal German citizens. Mass reproduction and replacements to create

272
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: the so called Aryan race, because like the Nazis, I

273
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: mean they co opted the term Aryan and we're like

274
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: blonde haired, blue eyed, physically fit. Ooh, definitely are the

275
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: ultimate humans. Like we're talking eugenics, we're talking phrenology, for

276
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: God's sakes, Like what phrenology? Life's bad when phrenology comes

277
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: into the conversation. So he meets a twenty three year

278
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: old Anna Geiger at a motorcycle race, and after making

279
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: her spin and a cup, he's like, yeah, you'll do,

280
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: and decides to marry her. Like alless men and their

281
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: perspective brides, the couple had to pass a set of

282
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: stringent physical tests and interviews admitted by the ESSs to

283
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: determine the suitability of the marriage. So like they had

284
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: to answer all these questions about being a good German

285
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: and being a good Nazi, and they also had to

286
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: do all these like physical tests to ensure that they

287
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: were in peak physical fitness. They wanted to make sure

288
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: that they were strong and healthy so that they could

289
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: procreate more little Nazis. So they were wed in an

290
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: SS civil ceremony on the twenty thirty of October nineteen

291
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: thirty eight, and They would go on to have three

292
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: children in quick succession. Peter was born in nineteen thirty

293
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: nine but died of diphtheria at seven months old. Verna

294
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: was born in nineteen forty and their daughter Engblg followed

295
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty one. So they had a permanent residence

296
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: in Vienna and Anna stayed there with the kids while

297
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: Gold would spend most of the war in Poland. So

298
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: back in Austria, like, he's quickly rising through the ranks

299
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: of the SS. He's promoted to antel STUMFNA in nineteen

300
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: forty one, and he had been drafted right into the Wehrmacht.

301
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: But well, that's the weird thing, right, he's drafted into

302
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: the vermach like the actual like army. But his SS

303
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: service record shows that he did not actively serve in

304
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: the vermach Like, there is no record of him serving

305
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: because of everything else he's doing, Like he's not doing

306
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: boots on the ground military stuff. No, Instead, he's an

307
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: ansad fiora and a financial officer in the Katovic office

308
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: for the Reich Commissioner for the Consolidation of German Nationhood.

309
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: Now that's the English version. There was a German version,

310
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: but I'm already struggling with my throat and so I'm

311
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: not putting myself through that particular one. Screw it, let's

312
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: give it a go. The rex Co meself Field, sophistical

313
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: Lusian Folkstone, Yeah, there we go, There we go. It

314
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: was responsible for the return and resettlement of the German diaspora, right,

315
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: that's what that is. It's basically trying to get German

316
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: people who live abroad back home, which is like, on

317
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: the face of it, it's like, oh, that sounds nice.

318
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, in order to do that, what they had

319
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: to do was displace the people who were already living

320
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: there and anyone that they felt was alien or foreign

321
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: to the land that they believed was theirs. This included

322
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: moving people that they didn't feel belonged in those areas,

323
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, into camps, ghettos, or just straight up murdering them. Now,

324
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure we can all agree that those actions are

325
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: horrific and a terrible thing to do. Anyway, In nineteen

326
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: forty two, he joined Operation Ranad, which was a scheme

327
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: to murder Jewish people in German occupied Poland. In the summer,

328
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: he was transferred to Lublin, where he worked on or

329
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: do you know Klobotchnik himself the s is Briga de Fiola,

330
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: an Austrian Nazi charged with a senior role in the

331
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: construction and expanding of three death camps. Beljit's slowby ball

332
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: treblinga Now, due to the highly secretive nature of this position,

333
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: like there isn't a paper trail, like there are scratches

334
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: and scratches, but there's no full paper trail to this,

335
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: so we don't know exactly Goods actions or roles during

336
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: the sixth month, like he was there involved in this operation.

337
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: The only thing we can be sure of is that

338
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: he was responsible for rounding up victims and transporting them

339
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: to the camps to be murdered. And so he is

340
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: really taking on board like Klobotchnik's like way of doing things.

341
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: So Klobotnik had a way of combining untold cruelty with

342
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: basic greed and corruption. He saw Klobotnik lining his pockets

343
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: and he was inspired. By nineteen forty three, Good had

344
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: clearly impressed his sociopathic superiors and he was promoted to

345
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: Halbstomfuler and he was assigned to the essa's Tottenkovfbunda unit.

346
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: The death head, and on the eleventh of February that year,

347
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: Good became the commandant of the Poaijov concentration camp. Before

348
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: he even stepped foot in Krakhov, his reputation preceded him

349
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: as the bloody dog of Lublin. Good news travels fast,

350
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: bad news travels faster. His first task as commandant was

351
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: to oversee the camp's construction on a two hundred acre site,

352
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: and because they wanted to amplify the suffering and really

353
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: rub salt in the wind, this site was to be

354
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: built over two Jewish cemeteries, and like most camps, it

355
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: was built using slave labor, effectively using victims to build

356
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: their own prisons in order to create this camp and

357
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: to streamline everything, because remember the Nazis weren't just evil,

358
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: they were also evil bureaucrats, and so they had a

359
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: very well organized system. So the Krakhov Ghitto was liquidated

360
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: with those two week to work transported to extermination camps

361
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: or simply murdered in the streets, and within weeks because

362
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: of the grueling labor that was forced that it was

363
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: a fully operational labor camp. Just in case you were

364
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: unsure if amongut was a megal mania. When the first

365
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: prisoners arrived at the camp, he told them I am

366
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: your God. And in the camp he had complete authority

367
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: over everything, especially at this point at the beginning, he

368
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: had no one to answer to. There was no one

369
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: to clip his wings or nip it in the bud.

370
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: He had free reign to do as he pleased, and

371
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: he did. As well as being the commandant of Plajeov,

372
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: he had other responsibilities, like he was tasked with liquidating

373
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: nearby ghettos Krakovranov, so on and so forth. Now, this

374
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: wasn't just rounding people up and putting them on trains.

375
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: This was violent like, this was aggressive and terrifying. And

376
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: anyone not killed immediately, like they were shipped off to

377
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: a camp.

378
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: You know.

379
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: Again, those fit for work, they were sent to labor camps,

380
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: like a lot of them just ended up in Plaijeov.

381
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: And those who couldn't, those who were deemed unfit to work,

382
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 1: too weak to ill, they were sent to extermination camps.

383
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: And sometimes when they were rounded up in the square,

384
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 1: they would just be shot. And Amon Good personally murdered

385
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: Jewish victims in these roundups himself. So here's the thing,

386
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: the tonne of ghetto. It held almost half the city's population,

387
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: like entire population, and that was almost twenty five thousand

388
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: Jewish people. Ten thousand were sent to Plajov for slave labor,

389
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: with eight thousand being sent on to Auswitz and the

390
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: rest they were simply shot where they stood, with good

391
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: executing up to ninety women and children himself. And then

392
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: as he was liquidating the ghettos, he looted the homes,

393
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: taking jewelry, clothes, furniture, and anything not nailed down, and

394
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: then he sold them on the black market. He did

395
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: keep some of his favorite thefts for himself, but he

396
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: made himself rich selling the rest. What a corrupt Nazi.

397
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: I know you're shocked. So here's an interesting fact to remember.

398
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 1: As a member of the SS, acting on behalf of

399
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: the SS, that loot was considered property of the rich.

400
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: As Commandant de Plajeov, he was drunk with power. He

401
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 1: carried out executions on an almost daily basis. And the threat,

402
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: not just that, but the unknown threat, the fact that

403
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: it could happen at any time. That adds to the

404
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: terror of the situation because you're never knowing when he

405
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: was going to strike. Sometimes he'd order subordinates to perform

406
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: the executions, and other times he'd just do it himself,

407
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: Like he had killed prisoners for serving him soup that

408
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: was too hot because he couldn't just blow on it

409
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: or wait a minute. Another was killed because he dared

410
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: to look him in the eye, and another was walking

411
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: too slowly. One time he shot a man for being

412
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: too tall, and as he lay dying on the ground,

413
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: he urinated on him. Now poajov It didn't have gas

414
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: chambers or crematoria, so most of these victims they were

415
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: just shot dead and goods. He was known to stand

416
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: on the balcony of his villa at the camp and

417
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: shoot prisoners with his rifle, Like he had this villa

418
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: with a balcony, and he would ride his horse like

419
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: in and out of the camp. I like, he didn't

420
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: just use his rifle. He didn't just use a pistol.

421
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: He didn't just shoot like. That wasn't his modus operandi

422
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the time. He also had two

423
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: large dogs, Rolfe a Great Dane and Ralph an alsation mix.

424
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: Now is he an Alsatian mix or is he a

425
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: German shepherd mix? Listen it's the same dog. A German

426
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: shepherd is an Alsatian. It's I think I discussed this

427
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: before in a previous episode, but yeah, everywhere I see

428
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: it it says Alsatian, and I'm like, I feel like,

429
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: if there was ever an appropriate time to call it

430
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: a German shepherd, this would be the appropriate time. Now

431
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm fairly certain that the dog he was like Alsatian

432
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: mixed with great Dene because he looks kind of Danish.

433
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: But anyway, these massive dogs, they had been trained to

434
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: torture prisoners on command, Like he would set them on

435
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: people and watch them tear them apart. Like he would

436
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: watch these dogs just like tear into these prisoners. And

437
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 1: just to add another layer of horrible onto this, like

438
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: he got jealous of the Jewish dog handler because he

439
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: thought the dogs liked him better, so he had the

440
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: dog handler killed. So it was about this time that

441
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: he meets Oscar Schindler, who, if you don't know who

442
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: he is, he's a German industrialist who owned an enamable

443
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: factory nearby, and so he had discovered that Good had

444
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: an achilles heel. I say hel heels more than one really,

445
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: because he loved flattery he loved like presents, especially fancy presents,

446
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: and also was rather fond of bribery. And so Oscar Shindler.

447
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: He had been a member of the Nazi Party, and

448
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: initially he had hired Jewish workers because he could underpay

449
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: them and make more money for himself. And then over

450
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: time he came to the realization that Jewish people were

451
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: people to so Schindler, he bribes Gota and in return,

452
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: Schindler's workers were kept in separate barracks, and they didn't

453
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: receive like the same level of cruelty, Like there was

454
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: like some protection for them, Like they were prisoners being

455
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: used for slave labor, but they had it slightly less

456
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: bad than the other prisoners being used for slave labor.

457
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: So like, as the Red Army is approaching towards Poland,

458
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: Schindler convinced Good to allow him to move his factory

459
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: and his twelve hundred workers to Berlin yits in Czechoslovakia.

460
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons that Good agrees to this

461
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: is because he thought he could use it to cover

462
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: his black market tracks. So he thought he could like

463
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: takes a of the stolen like Jewish goods from you

464
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: know where. He looted from all their homes and from

465
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, them coming into the camp. Because if you

466
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: come from the camp and you're coming from a ghetto,

467
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: a like just a living situation that is not another camp,

468
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: and you have anything of value on you like that

469
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: man's going to take it, like he's going to steal it.

470
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: And so in early May nineteen forty four, Goods was

471
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: told that ten thousand Hungarian Jewish people would be imprisoned

472
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: in Plajeov. Now, the camp numbers had risen steadily, and

473
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: they weren't really executing them as as quickly because they

474
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: weren't doing it en mass right. It wasn't happening. And

475
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: so there was just a lot of people like men,

476
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: women and children in this camp. And in order to

477
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: create space and this evergrowing population, he ordered that all

478
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: children in the camp would be moved to the kinda garden,

479
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: and on the fourteenth of May, most of those children,

480
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 1: like nearly all of them, were deported to Auschwitz for extermination. See.

481
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: In early nineteen forty four, the Poajov camp status changed

482
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: from a labor camp to a concentration camp under the

483
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: ESSs Economics and Administration's Office. This made it one of

484
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: thirteen official concentration camps in Poland, and because the Essys

485
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: were now in charge of the camp, the camp was

486
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: under closer scrutiny, which meant the corruption was not really

487
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: going to go unnoticed for much longer, and it didn't.

488
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: On the thirteenth of December nineteen forty four, Goot was

489
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: removed from his position of camp commandant at Blajeov and

490
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: was charged by the ESSs with theft of Jewish property

491
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: because remember, according to Nazi regulations, this belonged to the state.

492
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: He was also charged with violation of concentration camp regulations

493
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: regarding the treatment and punishment of prisoners and allowing unauthorized

494
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: access to camp personnel records. Basically, he was charged with

495
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: corruption and brutality. Like. Another thing he did like that

496
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't think I mentioned, actually was he sold rations

497
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: like he sold for rations and was therefore underfeeding the prisoners.

498
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: Now from the perspective of like the administration, like their

499
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: idea was like, if you're not giving them the allocated rations,

500
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 1: they not going to be strong enough to work enough

501
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: to do what we need them to do. Oh and

502
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: another thing I may have failed to have mentioned is

503
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: that his wife Anna. She divorced him because of his

504
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: plethora of affairs, including one with Ruth Irene Calda, one

505
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: of Oscar Schrindler's secretaries. Right, she was a secretary in

506
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: his factory. And yeah, they met at dinner and next

507
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: thing you know, they're blinking, which I mean, this man

508
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: shoots people for walking slowly, and you're gonna you're gonna blink.

509
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: This man, Really, Ruth, make better choices. Anyway, he was

510
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: held in Breslau for about a month, but because of

511
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: the fast approaching end World War Two and the Nazi's

512
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: inevitable defeat looming in the air, the charges were dropped

513
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: because they were like, we don't have time for this

514
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: right now. And so he's skirting around Central Europe like

515
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: he's running about his primary concern is getting his hands

516
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: on his ill gotten wealth from his corruption at plaguere Ofv.

517
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: So he had goods shipped from like eastern Poland, and

518
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: he tried to retrieve some of this at Oscar Schindler's

519
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: new factory. Like he's trying to get like his stolen

520
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: Jewish loot from the ghettos that he has sent to

521
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 1: Oscar Schindler's factory with the intent of collecting it from

522
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: Oscar Schindler. Now in a crazy random happenstance, like he

523
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,959
Speaker 1: goes and he tries to get it, and then he's

524
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: suddenly in excruciating pain, like he's got this acute stomach pain.

525
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: It's happened all of a sudden and it's just from nowhere.

526
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: So he gets sent to an SS hospital like he's

527
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: like just in a lot of pain, like an abnormal

528
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: amount of pain. And when he gets there, the doctors

529
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: diagnose him as mentally ill, and so he is committed

530
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: to a mental institution in bad Tolls in Bavaria and

531
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: the Bad Toes. He was arrested by the US military

532
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: in May in nineteen forty five. So you know, the

533
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: Allies are coming in. You've got the Red Army on

534
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: one side, You've got like US forces coming in from

535
00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: the top, like everyone's coming in from all angles. And

536
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: so May nineteen forty five, like the US military show

537
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: up and they're like and when they arrest him, he's

538
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: wearing a wehmarket uniform, which he clearly went and found,

539
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: Like they're not putting patients in military attire, Like that's

540
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: not a thing. Like he's wearing this uniform and he

541
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: doesn't admit to being SS, like completely blanks it. But

542
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: they arrest him anyway, and he is sent to a

543
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: temporary prison camp in Dachau and they lose him, like

544
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: they lose him amongst the prisoner population, and he's just gone,

545
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: and it takes a former inmate of Plajov to identify

546
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: him so that he can be taken to trial. So

547
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: so there's this like prisoner of Puajov who goes to

548
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: become a Nazi hunter, and he was like going through

549
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: the camp anyway, and he recognizes this guy, and then

550
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: he gets other prisoners to confirm that he is in fact,

551
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm on good like they do it, and so he's

552
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: identified and he is extradited to Poland, where the new

553
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: government has been set up, and he is tried by

554
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: the Supreme National Tribunal in Krakhov between the twenty seventh

555
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: of August and the fifth of September nineteen forty six,

556
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: and it is here that he is convicted of membership

557
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: to the Nazi Party, which had been made illegal. Actually

558
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: at this time they had decided it's illegal to be

559
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: a member of the Nazi Party, and so he's convictor

560
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: of that he is convicted of ordering the torture and

561
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: imprisonment of people and of all things, which is interesting,

562
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: Like this is the most interesting part, like regarding to

563
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: like the actual just conviction of trials, like not his

564
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: entire story because he's a bastard, But he is convicted

565
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 1: of homicide. Right, this is the first such conviction at

566
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 1: a war crimes trial. Like he is the first person

567
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: and a war crimes trial to be convicted of homicide.

568
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: Like there's other variations and other sort of like torture abuse,

569
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 1: but this homicide first time. Like typically when there's a war,

570
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: like when wars happen, like death is just part of

571
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: the course, you know, But this is execution. This is

572
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: mass murder. It's not the same as you know, one

573
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: soldier shooting another soldier on the battlefield. Like it's a

574
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: very different, different thing. And like the only words he

575
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: says in his defense and I shit, you not proper

576
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: Nuremberg trial, right he says that he was only following orders.

577
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: Sure jan Sure His last words would actually end up

578
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 1: being Heil Hitler On the thirteenth of September nineteen forty six,

579
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: at a prison, which is like a stones throw away

580
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: from the site of the plage of Camp. He's taken

581
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: to the gallows and he takes a short drop in

582
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: a sudden stop. He is hanged from the neck until dead,

583
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: and after he dies, his body was cremated and his

584
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: ashes dumped in a river, which honestly I think was

585
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: a little too good for him. But here we are.

586
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: It so earns the story of the Bloody Dog of

587
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: Lublin and the Butcher of pajov. So, if you didn't

588
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: hate me talking about history rate in review of five starts.

589
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: If you no, I'm not gonna say if you liked it,

590
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: because there's no way to like it. That's fucking horrible.

591
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: Follow me on socials. I'm on all of the places.

595
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: I think next month. And yeah, I just need to

596
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: confirm to everybody, like, if you've listened to me for

597
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: a while or you've seen me perform live, then you

598
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: know I am a vintage for lesque loving girling. Okay,

599
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: So I need you to understand this because I'm the pink

600
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: diamonds corset dress from Milan Rouge made, okay, And I

601
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: need everyone to know that this whole esthetic is inspired

602
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: by old timey burlesque and old timey showgirls and all that,

603
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: and it is not inspired by Taylor Swift, like she

604
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: can do what she wants. Good for her. But also

605
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm not copying Taylor Swift, like I'm just I just

606
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: like old things. I like murder, she wrote, and the

607
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: coconut grove. Okay, I don't know. Okay for listening right,

608
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: if you want to get some like medieval renaissances kind

609
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: of history but with like bite and the appropriate amount

610
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: of likes said in a sentence, vulgar history is a

611
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: really fun listen. I really enjoy that. So if you

613
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: for watching. I didn't realize that Project Runway was still

614
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: a thing, Like I was unaware that it continued to exist.

615
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: So that's super fun to know. So I was like,

616
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: ohlau Roach is on Project Runway and I was like, oh,

617
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to see it, but it's on like

618
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,839

619
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,760
