Fall Asleep To The Entire Story of How WW2 Really Started (Full HD, Documentary)

The Second World War did not begin on a single morning in September 1939. It came at the end of a road twenty years long, and tonight we walk the whole of it slowly: the peace made in Paris in 1919 and the young Czechoslovak republic, a beer hall in Munich and a secret flying school in Russia, a small explosion on a railway near Mukden, the banks that closed and the thirtieth of January 1933, the Rhineland, the Marco Polo Bridge, Vienna in the spring of 1938, the Sudeten summer and Munich, the fifteenth of March 1939, the pact signed in Moscow, the staged raid at Gleiwitz, and the first days of September. The archive film in this video is real, from the US National Archives, and a few photos come from the German Federal Archives (credited below); every clip and photo carries a label on screen saying what it shows. The maps, dates and documents in between are drawn for this video.
