Friedrich Kellner was a German Social Democrat who found himself living in the Third Reich during WW2. Recently, his diaries were published in a book called "My Opposition" (which I highly recommend you get if you're interested). In this video, we take a brief look into these diary entries, with a focus on the food and oil crisis that was going on at the time, and see if this tallies up with other sources (like Goebbel's Diaries, and Götz Aly's "Hitler's Beneficiaries"). Kellner gives us enough evidence to confirm many of the theories already presented on this channel - you can find the video links below.

DEAR YOUTUBE CENSOR - the purpose of this HISTORY documentary video is to educate people so that we can hopefully avoid repeating the mistakes that previous generations have made. I'm not a Nazi, nor am I promoting Hitler's evil ideology - in fact, this video exposes how terrible National Socialism actually was. The video is also backed by the sources listed below. So please reconsider before preventing people from seeing it. Thank you for reading.

ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
