A discussion on the idea that Hitler crushed the trade unions, touching upon the DAF (Deutsches Arbeitsfront - German Labour Front), Robert Ley, and the works of many historians, including William Shirer and Adam Tooze.
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. And just to be clear, I'm NOT a Nazi, nor a Fascist, nor a Marxist, and I don't subscribe to any other form of totalitarian ideology.

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.
