Dr. Goebbels - Predatory Sex Pest
Propaganda Minister Dr. Goebbels had a bad reputation when it came to women - his position in charge of all films and plays enabled him to conduct affairs with many actresses, affairs that were manipulative and often abuses of power. Goebbels' 'casting couch' was notorious. Find out the full story here.

So glad so many of you spotted my deliberate mistake concerning Hitler's marriage - glad to see so many are paying attention!
Hello Mr. Felton, could you please provide links to papers that support your viewpoint? I really think your viewers would appreciate it. If you wish to discuss me on the Politics of the second world war from a German stand point, I would be more than privileged to debate such matters.
lol, I honestly don't know if this is tongue-in-cheek or if he's being serious

He was also the most decorated from WWI, being a flying Ace, which was well-deserved. It's rather sad that he fell into the Nazi's.
Rather, he was so hooked on painkillers from an injury he’d incurred during WWI that he became sexually impotent (Correction: His injury came from the Munich beer hall Putsch)
@@theshape3222 Yet he seemed to have a child with his wife, judging from the photo that was shown in the video
He found a different outlet for relieving his insecurities and mental problems - drugs. He was a longtime morphine addict

In his diary he said: "We will go down in history as the biggest heroes or its worst criminals.." damn he was right.
Did he had the delusion of being a hero?.......interesting....!
@@hariszark7396 he was quite sure, that winners write history. so if he could win, he could be a hero. also he was aware those things they were doing are very disgusting.
@@hariszark7396 If they had won the war, they would have been heroes as much as America's "Founding Fathers."
@@ShankarSivarajan I understand what you say. But the people would know the truth. Like no one consider Stalin as hero for example.
@@hariszark7396 People do consider Stalin a hero and also Stalin died a while ago which caused a lot of secret informations to come out which the people that follow after Hitler could have simply prevented for the history of themselves. Also if you paint their history it doesnt seem bad, nowadays people are happy when you tell them that people cut the legs off of someone that made food for concentration camps back then and if Hitler would have won people would most likely be happy hearing that they killed some jews which were planning on cutting german peoples legs off. Just look at e.g. America or England in the second world war, they did insanely bad things(like burning people alive for fun) yet no one would ever consider them to be bad, they are heroes because they won.
He abused unrestricted power? I'm shocked.
I would NEVER have done that.
@@sormu16What he did ultimately doesn’t even sound ‘that’ bad - I mean, not even as bad as some Hollywood producers today. Want Laventi Beria on the other hand a literal r*pist?
The ending was definitely the worst part how horrible he discarded the lives of his own children and wife.
well you dont understand anything, he killed them because otherwise the russians or americans would have done so, after open humiliation, he protected them from that.
Die Göbbels hatten keine andere Wahl,schade um die unschuldigen Kinder.
@@Nonowness The USA would have publicly done so to Goebbels or the other Nazi leaders directly, but they wouldn't retaliate against their families. Now the USSR probably would though.
@@planescapedlikely the USSR would have been more kind than America, unless of course you had skills which America desired. Remember America firebombed many cities that has no strategic or military value killing hundreds of thousands just because they could.
@@planescaped The USSR was not kind to Germans. When the Russian army reached Germany they made a habit of raping the German women. This was because the Germans had done the same to their women when they invaded Russia. Also America in quite a few instances dropped pamphlets from planes to warn civilians to get out before they bombed areas.
Amazing that being a sexual predator was the least of his character flaws.
The amazing part here, is that being one of the top 10 worst men in history, he was still worse than I realized.
Yeah that's kind of an achievement. :)
It’s amazing that in such dark times as WW2 Joseph Georbbols isn’t viewed as the most evil man during that period and that there were far worse monsters during that era shows just show what a bad place the world was during that time.

@@BobbyBoucher228 now we have Russians beheading Ukrainians. The world we live in.
One actress who apparently "survived" resisting Goebbels was the Swedish Zara Leander. The story goes that at a party, Goebbels tried to intimidate Leander. He looked hard at her and snapped "-Zara, isn't that a Jewish name?!" Leander, having a sharp witt, smiled a sweet smile and said "-Well, how about Joseph?" It seems she was left alone after that.
Lol savage
Kudos, Zara Leander.
And Goebbels resent her so much. He declares her "Enemy of Germany".

He is Skeletor for a reason.
And yet he had the power to squash anyone who said that to his face like a bug. A power mark will never have
I saw an interview with the Czech actress Lída Baarová (the "mistress"). Goebbels basically cornered her and she feared that she will be deported back to Czech if she refused Goebbels' advances. She never had feellings for Goebbels and eventually fled from Germany to get away from him.
Could anyone have feelings for Goebbels?
She actually admitted that she loved him "in her own way", although the whole relationship was very stressful for her. She also left Germany because she was not allowed to act there anymore since 1938, not because she wanted to get away from Goebbels.
@@haner2940that's what people always say in the public eye not to face retaliation
That poisoned dwarf really made his bed in hell. I'll never understand how a supposed Man can be intimate with someone who doesn't truly want to be intimate with him. Those types are in the upper tiers of disgusting life forms.

Ask Bill Clinton.
"Like politicians today, they often preached one rule for the masses, and one rule for themselves" An eternal truth right there.
Quote of the day!
I think it just takes a certain degree of psychopath-ness to be a politician since the job requires "performing' in public. Psychopaths are often immune to feeling the social consequence of performing unsavorable acts, hence why they don't feel anything wrong about performing them. I mean it doesn't have to unsavorable acts, I think people who are good at being politicians or public figures are just good at mentally shielding themselves from social feedbacks, either for good or bad acts.
👏🎯
yep. always laugh at politicians. they are laughing at you
So true, but most politicians don't ask they just rape and abuse Thier female staff and then cover it up.
Magda Goebbels' first marriage was to an industrialist called Günther Quandt. Their son Harald (i.e. Goebbels' stepson) was in the Luftwaffe and survived the war. The Quandt family are still fabulously wealthy industrialists, including owning large chunks of BMW. Harald's niece is the richest woman in Germany.
I knew there had to be some reason why those vehicles are beloved while being unreliable relative to their cost. It's the heritage of their ownership!

Czech fella here, a few interesting facts regarding Baarová. Hitler indeed forced Goebbels to leave Baarová alone in 1939 but Goebbels, in his classical manner, threatened to resign as minister and instead leave for Japan as a German ambassador with Baarová. Hitler of course refused but banned Baarová form German film industry to minimize their contact. She followed this downward spiral and became the lover of the Protectorate Minister of Industry and also the later famous spymaster Paul Thummel, one of the biggest double agents of the war. Her wild sexual relationships became a problem soon again and she had to leave Protectorate for Italy by 1941. By the end of the war she tried to run to Germany but was arrested, handed over and tried in Czechoslovakia for treason and snitching, but its a testament to the fairness of court that she was aquitted and released, as there was no proof that she commited any crime apart from "bad character and bad taste". Despite being formally free to work, she became a total outcast and was universally hated as a "Nazi wh*re". Her mother died of heartattack during one of their interrogations and her sister commited suicide. Baarova soon emigrated to Austria and died in Salzburg in 2000, being totally abandoned for many years, suffering from dementia and alcoholism, in a small flat smelling of booze and urine, and decorated by dozens of her pictures from her youth. Biographers often write that she was rather simple minded and not a great actress, but was absolutely consumed and fascinated by her own beauty and the effect it has on men.
Sad end to a gorgeous woman!!
How sad that no one helped her. I wonder if she was a weak character that could not form relationships with persons other than those who had a use for her.
what an awful person
In modern times Baarova would have had a an OnlyFans account. She was a forerunner of the modern western women.
Powerful writing, worthy of Dr Felton, himself!
Woody Allen would be outstanding as Geobbels in a documentary.
Excellent descriptions
Sadly, what powerful people often do never seems to change.
The original Harvey Weinstein
@@Jermster_91 there was a roman emperor and pederast that like epstein had a sex island. It is waaay older than that.
You have to look at it this way, those who seek out positions of power, high or low, do have egos and maybe a touch of narcissism as well. Sometimes that's a good thing if they're good people to begin with, Eisenhower once remarked "I never would have gotten as far as I did if I hadn't learned to hide my ego!" But if they're not good people we all too often see tragic results.
weak and average people when they obtain power, to be exact.
@@Jermster_91 Weinstein is hardly a blip as far as offenses of this kind go. But I can entirely understand why he's being held up as a beacon of the types of people within the film industry. The unfortunate thing being ofc that he was very much just holding onto the traditional means of doing things by studio executives/directors etc, and I am certain that the practice is still going on today, though probably with a greater degree of secrecy and levels of protection for the aggressors (I wouldn't even be surprised if they force their victims to sign NDAs and utilise not only the threat of blacklisting in keeping mouths shut, but all manner of contractual horrors in case the victim ever feels like standing up for themselves). Behaviour of this kind is far too rife within our collective cultural landscape (as in not only within the entertainment industry, and as we already know the political and even more "noble" professions such as education and the sciences, even down to the normal world of basic jobs. I myself (as a male I feel like I should add) have been on the recieving end of sexual harassment and what would constitute as sexual assaults as a young man, and while I walked out of the job in which it happened to me (in this instance the perpetrator was male, however I feel it's worth saying that I have been on the recieving end of similar behaviour by women in other jobs), I received what in retrospect (at the time I figured it was an error and didn't want to mention it in case they expected me to return it) was undoubtedly "hush money" in a final paycheque that was significantly, significantly more than I would have usually received in a month) and it's only through the bravery of the victims coming forward to highlight just how pervasive and socially penetrative the behaviour truly is.
".... like politicians today, they often preached one rule for the masses and one rule for themselves". Spot-on, as usual!

Dr. Felton, perhaps you have already touched on the subject and irony of the fact that none of the Nazi leadership from Hitler on down were nothing in any way, shape or form of the, ‘Teutonic Aryan Super Human.’ Did not anyone notice that back then? Please continue producing the absolute best videos on this topic. There are millions of us that stand in awe of your knowledge and the quality of content. Prof. Felton should be knighted.
"Randy goat from babelsberg" sound in german very much better: "Der geile Bock vom Babelsberg" . My grandfather (1899-1986) always called him that as soon as Goebbels appeared in a television documentary after the war, for example. My grandfather also liked to tell a joke that was common in the Third Reich: "The German Aryan is as blond as Adolf Hitler, has the athletic build of Herman Göring, the sharp eyes of Heinrich Himmler and can run as fast as Joseph Goebbels."
the hypocrisy was indeed rich. additionally, the "genetically superior stock" of the SS divisions turned out to not perform any better than the non-SS divisions in battle.
@@jamesdrummond7684 I was reading a book about ww11 and all the different fighting that took place and it mentioned this one skirmish involving at least 100 waffen ss that all retreated for some silly reason but I can't remember all the details, if anything the waffen ss were more fanatical and had a almost cult like nature
I also heard Goebbel's was such a hateful nasty people also called him Mohatmas Propogandi.
Grandfather was an observant man ✌️
A friend of mine always recited about Goebbels'; "Die Lüge hinkt durch Deutschland"(The lie is limping through Germany)
The number one rule of politics/government: make a rule and exempt yourself.
You'd think killing six children would be the topper. Well, it is.
"Rules for thee and not for me"
Another great post. Ty Mark.
Joseph, Magda and the children would follow their leader anywhere and they did. It's one of the reasons why I've always doubted the conspiracy that Hitler fled Germany. Hitler was very close with Magda and loved her children. If he had a way to escape, you can bet Joseph and Magda wouldn't have stayed behind and at least attempted it.
Joseph suffered from Nopolianic complex.
Nasty piece of work. That’s a pure British phrase there. Very apt.
In more ways than one, Dr G would fit right in in today's world
Yes, along with a Top G pimp held in Romania.
He was a modern Macchiavelli as source and example of dastardly ways of doing propaganda to modern politicians, both Left and Right. Particularly 'Lie, lie, that something will remain ...'
Makes you wonder what he’d do if he was alive today. Of course, I think he’d understand that fascism and antisemitism are unacceptable in today’s world, and wouldn’t publicly support those views. But you know he’d get up to some kind of evil or another. It’s kind of chilling to think about
If he were around today, he'd be working for Fox News.
He was the mastermind behind modern television and propaganda - which are essentially two words for the same thing.
I just wanna point out that the nickname "poison dwarf", or "Giftzwerg" in german, is still quite common today for shorter people that annoy the crap out of you.

he was nicknamed "the Babelsberg billy-goat". It is confermed that he chased actress Sybille Schmitz and had an affair with (then) superstar Marika Rökk. He tried to couple actress Renate Müller to Adolf Hitler, which caused her to commit suicide in 1937. A fling with actress Gerda Maurus has been suspected. Given his position as head of the German moving pictures industry at the time, he must have had many starlets at his disposal. The Harvey Weinstein of the 1930's.

Lying through his teeth retelling irrefutable lies of old? How about you go to an uncensored streaming platform and watch the same videos of his speeches but with English subtitles? You will see the deception being played. Felton should be absolutely ashamed of himself for this pathetic desperate content on NatSoc. Weimar conditions are now world wide. So must the solution.
Your videos are excellent. And the Dr stands out as a super rodent, even compared to the elite psychos he was surrounded with!
Heydrich was probably the worst though
"Perhaps it's no surprise that the leaders shouted the loudest about marriage, family and women's roles, failed to uphold their own rules." Gosh, who does that remind me of in American society? Hmmm....
Absolutely fascinating, Dr. Felton. Thank you.
Never would I thought I hear mark Felton say casting couch, still incredibly informative stuff
Thank you. Very interesting. 🇬🇧
poison dwarf in german "giftzwerg" is acutually a pretty common nickname in germany and should better be translated as toxic dwarf
The Randy Goat of Babelsberg is absolutely genius
😂
I don't understand why Germans have a reputation for not being funny.
@@charlottewolery558 Trust me,they are!! But you just kind of have to get to know & understand them past their legendary stoicness.
in German it's " der geile Bock von Babelsberg " .
There was also a " poem " about him and his looks - I don't get it together - something like : " please make me blind so I see Goebbels as an Aryan " - A woman in Darmstadt was put into a KZ for selling " herring as fat as Goering " . ( My mother told me that ) .
I really enjoy your mini Docs. Very well done, informative and I always learn something new. Thank you
sickly thin, rat like countenance. That is a great line
What an insult to rats.
Thank you mr. Felton we love your history lessons.
Pretty much how Hollywood works in todays world
can you say "Grab'em by the pussy" ?
I doubt it. I'm not saying the casting couch doesn't happen today, but Goebbels was worse. Beria was yet even worse than Goebbels.
Stark reminder that these people weren't just horrible in the grandiose, world-changing ways but in the small, very human ways too. The full spectrum of evil on display
Lots of people are today and have been throughout history. Don’t fool yourself by thinking that they are uniquely evil.
Don't diss my short king.
bro just got roasted for 9 minutes straight lol
7:42 "resisted Goebells's casting couch' Lmao
Hitlwr was surprisingly quite restrained in his personal behavior. Vegan, didn't drink or smoke. Didn't really womanize, other than a very limited relationship with 1 woman. Considering his absolute power, his private life was very restrained.
He was living on a cocktail of drugs, had a restrained lifestyle, and was, frankly, “unusual” in his sexual life and attractions.
Hitler is believed to have had more than one partner. He was discreet, generally. His niece Geli Rabaul was said to live with him and notoriously committed suicide using Hitler's personal firearm.
Hitler wasn't vegan.
@@fsaldan1 Vegetarian. Said meat was like eating corpses but ironically had no issue making human ones
@@newshound2521 Not actually. He was only vegetarian 1942-1945. Before that he ate meat on and off and had sardines daily throughout the 1930s according to his manservant.
Another fascinating video Dr. Felton. The details you bring out are so engaging.
Question for everyone: How would people describe the way you look, if history remembered you for being villain? If Goebbels had cured cancer instead, people would praise his smile/looks, rather than call him "rat-like".
Isn't it great to have your commercial in front of a Goebbels documentary?
He and Bormann both loved the idea of having multiple partners. It was all for the Fatherland they said. Himmler too.
Most Powerful men of all stripes want multiple women. It’s called biological evolution
