For those not wanting to spend 3 hours .... skip to 02:42:42 en listen to the rundown.
Just know that these guys have put this all in the context of AI. They reference a book written in 1880, thereabouts, about an building an android.
So, how do you fuck up a plan? By getting certain people to turn on their masters .... and here is where Hitler comes in.
Did he turn and if so, when? They point to certain military decisions which were kinda strange.
For instance, the projection on Operation Barbarossa was that the Germans could sustain a mobile operation for 3 months, because of the oil situation, as Germany has to produce its carburants in a different manner. The only German source of oil was Romania. Venezuela was cut off.
Add to that the ridiculous long supply lines over an almost 6000 kilometer long front.
The op was predicated on an early start. However, the Italians screwed up the Greece theater and the Germans had to step in, delaying till june. Then within 6 months the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. This was simply a bad decision or maybe a pre-emptive decision as they would provoke it in a time of their choosing as US involvement in the Asian theater was inevitable.
The Archive at Kew contains lots of discussions between British, Dutch and American representatives relating to the persecution of the War in the Asian theater.
At any rate, it is quite a new way of looking at the same topic, hence, the need to keep emotions in check.
I would add to the conversation on this topic, the role of Admiral Canaris, the head of the Abwehr.
In 1940, after Dunkirk, the question became to take Gibraltar and seal of the Med. There were plans to drive simply through Spain. The problem in Spain is, there are a lot of hills and bad roads, of there were roads at all. (See Sardegna landing 1943)
So, Canaris whispered in Franco's ear to demand a lot of humanitarian Aid from Germany in such a size, it would undermine the German economy and the persecution of the war.
Of course, when taking into account the landing of Rudolph Hess in England in order to limit the scope of the war, plus the number of peace proposals Hitler submitted to end the hostilities and even going so far as to retreat behind the Rhine and pay reparations, the question becomes whether the direction of thought these guys from the video are in, is a viable direction. I think they are on to something and worthy to think about it when researching the Word War Two topic.
