Pink Triangles: Homosexuals Facing Nazism

Oct 2, 2026 | Based on the latest historical research and recently discovered archives, this film retraces the journey of men and women persecuted by the Third Reich because of their sexual orientation.

Resetting the social and political context of the 1920s, when European society still "tolerated" homosexuality, this documentary details the mechanisms of repression led by the Nazi regime against this particular group and the horror of the concentration camps as told by those who experienced it first hand.

It is so, so sad that people have had to suffer and have to go on suffering in so many countries simply for being attracted to and loving another person of the same sex. And, unfortunately, in these troubling times in which the far-right is growing in strength, I detect that this intolerance and rejection is growing anew. It is to be hoped that western governments will be strong enough to stand up to these dark, unenlightened, and bigoted forces. — © Mark Alexander

Austria and Germany: The Anschluss | The German History Podcast: 13

Jun 9, 2026 | In this week’s episode, Katja and Chris continue their exploration of the tangled relationship between Austria and Germany, from the collapse of the Habsburg Empire in 1918 to the Nazi regime’s annexation of Austria in 1938.

Why had so many Austrians believed their new republic could not survive alone? Why was union with Germany banned in the post-war peace settlement? And how did an idea previously associated with liberals and socialists become synonymous with ultranationalism, militarism, and antisemitic violence?

MEGA EPISODE: Third Reich: Inside 12 Years of Terror I SLICE HISTORY

Adolf Hitler was appointed Reich Chancellor on 30 January, 1933. Once they had seized power in Germany, the Nazis no longer relinquished it until their demise on 8 May, 1945. The Third Reich lasted for 12 years, 3 months and 9 days. It began with great hopes and unprecedented jubilation and ended after a world war in which 50 million people were killed, Germany was destroyed and the European Jews murdered.

To mark the 75th anniversary of the seizure of power by the Nazis, SPIEGEL TV embarks on a unique journey through the bleakest chapter of German history. Michael Kloft traces the story of the Third Reich, painting a picture of Nazi dictatorship behind the propaganda by utilizing what in some cases is previously unpublished footage. In describing the politics, day-to-day life, the war years and the crimes of the Nazi state, he is aided by three famous historians: Sir Ian Kershaw has set worldwide standards with his biography of Hitler, Brigitte Hamann illuminates the background to the fascination with the Fuehrer in her groundbreaking studies and Götz Aly describes the “feel good dictatorship” of the thirties and mercilessly shows how the Germans plundered the rest of Europe in his book “Hitler's Beneficiaries”.

Worse Than Nazi Prison: "The Auschwitz for Homosexuals"

July 19, 2026 | This documentary explores the persecution of gay men under Nazi Germany and the devastating impact of Paragraph 175 during the Second World War.

Once home to one of the world's most vibrant LGBTQ communities, Germany saw decades of progress swept away after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. What followed was a systematic campaign of arrests, imprisonment, and persecution that affected tens of thousands of men across the Third Reich.

The film examines the destruction of Berlin's famous Eldorado nightclub, the closure of Magnus Hirschfeld's pioneering Institute for Sexual Science, and the expansion of Paragraph 175, which enabled the Nazi regime to prosecute an ever wider range of relationships between men.

It also explores the role of Heinrich Himmler, the Gestapo, and the SS in enforcing these policies, as well as the experiences of those imprisoned in concentration camps under the pink triangle.

Drawing on survivor testimony, wartime records, and historical research, this documentary follows the stories of men such as Josef Kohout, whose memoir became one of the earliest personal accounts of life as a homosexual prisoner in the Nazi camp system.

It also examines the medical experiments conducted by SS doctor Carl Værnet, the continued persecution of gay men after 1945, and the long struggle for recognition that continued decades after the fall of the Third Reich.

The documentary also highlights acts of courage and resistance, including Dutch artist Willem Arondeus, who fought against Nazi occupation despite the risks he faced as a gay man. His story stands alongside those of thousands whose lives were shaped by persecution, discrimination, and resilience.

Through historical documents, survivor testimony, and archival evidence, this film offers a balanced examination of one of the least discussed aspects of World War II and the Holocaust, while exploring the legacy of memory, justice, and human rights that continues to resonate today.

The Bankers Who Funded Hitler — And Who Were Never Punished | WW2

Feb 20, 2026 | In the spring of 1943, an American banker travelled freely through Nazi Germany, held meetings with Reichsbank officials in Berlin, and boarded a German escort vessel back to Switzerland. Nazi U-boats had standing orders not to sink his ship. His name was Thomas McKittrick, and he was the president of the most powerful international bank in the world.

This is not a conspiracy theory. Every institution, every document, and every name in this video is a matter of verified historical record — sitting in the National Archives, in declassified Treasury memos, and in the minutes of the Nuremberg proceedings.

What you won't find in most history books is the full story of how Wall Street bankrolled the economic conditions that brought Hitler to power, how Standard Oil shared critical war technology with Nazi Germany while withholding it from the US military, how Chase National Bank kept its Paris branch open under Nazi occupation and reported growing profits to Manhattan, how the Bank for International Settlements laundered looted Nazi gold throughout the war, how Prescott Bush — grandfather of two US presidents — had his assets seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act, and how a Swedish banking dynasty quietly played both sides and walked away to build a $60 billion empire.

Most of these men were never prosecuted. Most were promoted. And the systems they built are still running today. This is what economic history actually looks like.

When Paris Was German: German Soldiers in Wartime Paris I SLICE History | Full Documentary

Oct 27, 2024 | June 14th 1940, the troops of the Wehrmacht entered Paris. This was the beginning of the occupation of the French capital, which was then relegated to the rank of an open city. The enemy made the law there for more than four years, until August 1944.

Many things have been said and written about the daily life of the French during this very particular period, made of shortages, repressive measures and raids. But never on the side of the occupying forces... What about the German soldiers? How did they live through this period? What were their living conditions like? Did they have any contact with the French population?

The Drugs That Fuelled Nazi’s Blitzkrieg I Pure WW2

Feb 12, 2026 | In 1938, a powerful stimulant called Pervitin was developed in Nazi Germany. Mass-distributed to German troops, the drug became a hidden fuel of the Wehrmacht’s early campaigns. Adolf Hitler himself was not spared: under the care of his personal physician, Theodor Morell, he received frequent injections and drug cocktails. Drawing on archives and testimonies, this film investigates how widespread drug use shaped soldiers’ endurance, decision-making, and leadership, and asks a disturbing question: to what extent were the course of the war and Hitler’s behavior chemically influenced?

Vanished by Order: Hitler’s “Night and Fog” Decree.

Jan 15, 2026 | In December 1941, Nazi Germany introduced a policy designed not just to punish resistance, but to erase it entirely. Under Adolf Hitler’s Nacht und Nebel decree — “Night and Fog” — thousands of people across occupied Europe were taken without warning, transported in secret, and removed from all official records. Their families were never told where they were taken. Many never learned whether they were alive or dead.

This documentary traces how the Night and Fog system operated in practice — from midnight arrests in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Norway, to sealed transports into Germany, to prisons and concentration camps where prisoners were deliberately isolated, denied names, and cut off from the outside world. The goal was not secrecy, but uncertainty. Silence itself became a weapon.

Using survivor testimony, wartime documents, transport records, and post-war investigations, this film reconstructs how the Night and Fog decree was built, why it continued, and what happened to those who vanished inside it. It examines the bureaucratic machinery that allowed people to disappear on paper — and the families left behind who waited for answers that never came.

This is not a story of battlefield combat. It is a story of administration, paperwork, and a system designed to function without witnesses.
