I've read some people speak bad about it, but is there anything, concretely, inaccurate about it?
>>
>>1335798
Absolutely nothing is wrong with it and anyone who says otherwise is being bias and is probably a communist

It's filled with ridiculous revisionism. Just to take one point apart, TGSNT claims, following the likes of guys like Viktor Suvorov, that the attack into the USSR was actually a premptive/preventive attack, spurred on by worries of Soviet expansionism.

It's bullshit. For starters, the Germans well encouraged Soviet "expansionism", as the Molotov-Ribbentorp pact recognized areas outside the USSR as part of their "sphere of influence", including Germany's "ally", Finland.

http://legacy.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1939pact.html

Secondly, the Soviets having a retarded defensive strategy focused on continual counterattack doesn't mean they were actually planning an invasion. Yes, they had a lot of troops on the border, and not much depth. You know where else they had that setup? Around the Manchurian border starting in 1935, a good ten years before they entered the war against Japan at the urging of their allies. And unlike their attacks into Romania, the Baltic states, and Finland, the Soviets didn't have any of their hallmarks of an attack coming when it came to German controlled Poland and Prussia: They hadn't paired their artillery with its organic transport, they hadn't massed reserves near railheads for rapid movement of foot troops with the infrastructure available, their planes weren't kept fueled and ready.

Plus, of course, it insists on a vastly different standard of proof when regarding Hitler's actions as opposed to the actions of his enemies.

>No order given for extermination of Jews!
>Therefore the Holocaust didn't happen!

But with the Soviets:

>They had their army right on the border,
>OF COURSE THEY WERE GOING TO ATTACK?
>Well of course there wasn't an order by Stalin, who would write something like that? How can you be so gullible?

It's trash.

That's what's wrong with TGSNT.

it was blatantly obvious stalin was allied with the west

>>1335951

Which is of course why his biggest trading partner at the outset of the war was...... Nazi Germany. It's why he trained the bulk of the German armored corps in camps in the USSR to help Hitler get around the Treaty of Versailles limitations. It's why the British were considering attacking the Soviets merely to cut down on the oil Stalin was selling to Hitler once the war started, and the operation to do so only ceasing because of the sudden and unexpected collapse of France.

I actually enjoyed it, it's a great example of how you can make anything sound convincing and anyone sound like a saint if you put epic music in. (the main theme is amazing, JUST LISTEN TO IT).

Care to explain how?
>>
>>1335924
USSR exported their dystopia to Hungary, Romania, Eastern Germany, etc.
>>
>>1336491
Yeah, after that Hitler invited them to protect themselves against future people like Hitler.

Nothing, it's GOAT and redpilled

>it's not our fault we signed the Molotov Ribbentrop pact and gobbled up every country we could, then got bitchslapped by the monster we allowed to grow

STFU

It's nothing more than revisionist history which paints Hitler as the ultimate dindu. Nothing more than a Stormfag wankfest, really.
>>
>>1335798
It's the book that triggered the argument you'll see occasionally that Hitler had no idea what was going on and wasn't as bad a guy as made out.

It's probably bullshit. You can paint any picture by selectively using sources. People who read one book and then parrot it are idiots, read everything, read books arguing two completely opposite views on the same subject, and then make your own conclusions.

I specifically asked about the accuracy of things stated in it.

>>1335924
All I see in your post is opinion
>>
>>1341643


Why are you bumping this shit thread? There's no actual discussion going on here, just OP asking for errors, and when someone provides them, shouting COMMIE KIKE SHILLS!

This is even worse than christposting.
>>
>>1339083
Not an argument

Saying "revisionist" doesn't automatically make your claims accurate
>>
>>1341662
Triggered kike.
>>
>>1341657
Then you should try actually reading it
>>
>>1335798

The only people who hate on it are literal communists. Most everything in the documentary is spot on and can only be criticized for hurting people's feelings rather than factual innacuracy.

Bretty good xdddd

Is this a serious comment?? I cant tell who is exterminating who anymore.

Watched it halfway a couple years ago. Still need to finish it, it seemed pretty based.

Even without watching it though, I always knew it was wrong to admonish Hitler as the "greatest villain of history". Thats pure propaganda, the only seemingly reasonable measurement for "evil" (which is subjective) would be body count and communists dominate over Hitler every single time.
