NICE REACTION! I have a few more information, if you want: Minute 1:52 Lower Saxony is more at sea level than Saxony, which is located at higher altitude. Hence the name "Lower Saxony". By the way: In the Middle Ages, the Saxons originally lived in the area of today's Lower Saxony. Due to dynastic shifts in the late Middle Ages, a completely different area is called "Saxony" today. Minute 6:23 Most tornadoes in Germany always pass over uninhabited areas. That's why we usually don't even notice these storms. So it's no comparison to Tornado Alley in the U.S., where cities are regularly threatened. Minute 12:41 Small correction: Cuckoo clocks are from the Black Forest, NOT from Bavaria! And Minute 17:06 "Mein Kampf" is not banned in Germany, only the reprint was banned until 2015 and the book is only available in an annotated version. Not in the original. If you like, I can briefly summarize the German history: Germany as a modern nation-state has only existed since 1871. But before that, of course, there is also a German history, which is relatively complex. In the 9th century, divided the Frankish Empire of Charlemagne among his descendants. The western part of the empire later became France. And in the 10th century, the East Frankish Empire developed into a federal clan state, which, however, was the only country in Europe to have an emperor at its head (following the example of Charlemagne and the Roman emperors of antiquity). The first emperor of this East Frankish empire was Otto the Great. The year 962, in which he was crowned, is considered to be the founding year of the "Holy Roman Empire" (this name only emerges later in time). The emperors of this HRE considered themselves successors of Charlemagne and the Romans, although their population was mostly German-speaking. The Holy Roman Empire was so called from the 13th century onwards. And in the 15th century, the addition of "German nation" to HRE was added to this name. Nevertheless, despite having a common language (with strong different dialects!) in the Reich, people did not really consider themselves Germans for all these centuries. People felt and thought much more regionally and saw themselves as Bavarians, Saxons, Swabians, etc. This remained the case until the 18th century. The 17th century saw the worst war of all: the Thirty Years' War (1618 - 1648) between Catholic and Protestant princes within the HRE. However, Sweden and France intervened in this war. This war cost the lives of a third of the population. In the 18th century, new ideas of the state emerged and the Enlightenment made republican ideas and ideas of nationalities more and more popular. But finally Napoleon came! In 1806 the HRE went under ... But the common struggle against Napoleon united the Germans for the first time and brought them to see themselves as a common people. Unfortunately, after defeating Napoleon at the Congress of Vienna, the kings and princes of Europe decided that Germany should rather be a loose confederation of states. Because then every little prince can continue to have his own small dominion. For the princes, a united Germany would have meant that they would have to renounce sovereignty. BUT in doing so, the wishes and zeitgeist of the population, which wanted a united Germany, were ignored. In 1848 there was a revolution and for the first time a parliament was elected in Frankfurt to draw up a constitution for the whole of Germany. UNFORTUNATELY, the revolution was crushed after all. But despite this, certain symbols (such as the black-red-gold flag) and national songs and first democratic experiences with parliamentarism and elections were preserved, which was to be an advantage later ... In 1871 the time had come: But this time it was the Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck who united the German states with "blood and iron" in three wars (1864, 1866 and 1870/71). After all, from 1871 onwards there was finally a pan-German state! Even if the parliament didn't have that much say in it and the Kaiser and Chancellor (Bismarck) had quite a lot of power over the parliament in Berlin. But it was a start... In November 1918, when the First World War ended, the Kaiser was overthrown in the November Revolution and the first democratic republic on German soil was proclaimed. This republic, whose constitution was written in Weimar (hence the Weimar Republic), lived only 14 years ... Then came Hitler. Hitler destroyed the republic and established the Nazi dictatorship. In 1939, Germany began World War II. On April 30, 1945, Hitler killed himself before falling into the hands of the Soviets. On 7 May, Germany surrendered unconditionally. In Germany, 8 May 1945 is called "the zero hour". The name "Zero Hour" is based on the fact that the Germans were relieved that the war was over, and some Nazi opponents who had to keep their mouths shut for years were certainly even more relieved. But at the same time, the Germans were also afraid of the victors and their possible revenge. On the one hand, the approaching Cold War made reconciliation with the Western powers more likely, because the Soviet Union was now the new find. But the Cold War also meant that Germany would now be divided if a new German state was founded. Which happened in 1949 ... We all know the rest: the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. And on October 3, with the consent of the four victors of the World War, the reunification of Germany took place. I'd say the rest after that we know from the news. The rest we have all experienced ourselves. I don't have to tell you anything more.

6:54 the fight between the two guys is actually a bit of an "in" joke. The two companies were founded by two brothers who were constantly fighting. The corporate headquarters of both companies are still located in the same village of just 23000 citizens. Another fun fact: neither is the largest employer in the village. That title goes to Schaeffler, who are one of the largest automotive suppliers in the world and has their headquarters in the village as well.

The look on her face... absolutely delicious. :-) But ... so many facts in such a short time. Nobody can process that if you're not German and have heard it all 100 times before. No offense... it's simply a "hardcore video" that was reacted to. However, it's a bit thin to just let the video play ... and not provide any personal context.....

That was really interesting!! My dad was born on a North Sea German island named Sylt. 😅

he makes an mistake^^ we have over 3000 kinds of bread^^ no joke^^

Jeez, lower it with the lipstick

Have to respect germans. Lot happenings like here in finland

Sometimes you are hard to understand, you should maybe make your voice louder, or the video sound lower.

please do righteous brothers you lost that loving feeling
