Ali can finally become the person hes always wanted to be. I was born in berlin, starts july 22nd on d, w. Ah, oh, a 100 year old royal cottage in the state of brandon bork, almost modern yet from a different era. It is the final palace built by the horns salons, the imperial dynasty, that once ruled germany, a palace that welcomed powerful men, both losers and winners with the music more. Yeah. Little buffalo along to wait a 2nd video. I suggest the ones on the outside are a bit lower. This one is still too long on the line. Shortly after the war ended, the victors flags hung just below. The hoas fell on eagle and the bull crest of macklin. Bork, defense, the windows are about as tall as a flag, or what do you think . Yeah, just about ah, the potsdam conference set out to determine the post war order. So the 3 most powerful men traveled to hitlers defeated germany. Security is tight. The men are in soviet occupied territory of chicago. Some a confidence of all the soviet Intelligence Services played an active role in the conference planning. The n k b d, his marriage should day and the peoples commissariat for state security was up us as jim goober. Oh Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin and harry s. Truman. The big 3, sealed to precious fate in this how insole on pallets 50 years earlier, the palace doesnt yet exist, but dreams of it. Do a married couple with offspring on horseback vill helm graced by god to become the king of prussia and german emperor, the son, the air to the throne vill helm, crown grants of prussia and mother. I goes to victoria, queen of prussia and german, m. O n. G does, since he had us, and that was the fate of all these women who ruled the reggae were given just one function knives to give birth to a Crown Princess, which like the german empire, a modern Industrial Power with an over zealous interest in its military this is in zoes will be, this is what shape the image shape society. A glad zip depiction of the he day of the prussian military go glance. I think, you know, its the hey day when the guard regiments in dungeon 3 rows on onto the linden boulevard and the emperor rides in and you would only see that in the time of emperor ville. Hm. The 2nd bedside kaiser, when this tread oh, well the royal residence is in potsdam. Its imperial nature. And Royal Highness is were part of the city scape, one of the favorites was crown prince village on price and weaving from his clash, his nickname, bring it on. Oh, he was a horse and car enthusiast with a talent for getting tangled up in political matters. This made his relationship with his father difficult. Oh, the air to the throne, the future german emperor for the 20th century. Here in a car with a cigarette. Through the empire, a bride is being sought for the crown prince. Ah ah, this is the duchess of mecklenburg, cecilia. Shes 19 years old. A woman in white cecilia and wilhelm. The official engagement photo. 2 yeah, and the magnificent wedding in the imperial capital. The greek ruined event of 19 o 5. Ah, cecilia goose marie, a beautiful woman from the north is the Crown Princess, and becomes the fashion icon for women around the world. Due to her extravagant hairstyle. These are from the royal family album mothers delight on the road and on the hunt. A separate residence is planned for the young couple in paxton new garden. It is to be the whole insulins 1st palace of the 20th century. Ah, the salons had already built several futile palaces, but this time would be different. It would correspond to the modern age architect powell, shelter known bark with commissions for the project. Construction began in 1913. Ah. Architect and historian wolfgang shesha specializes in 20th century construction. The current balance due to who shy of new and button to be able to visit in hub boy to boltons of the crown prince was allowed to do as he pleased to wait. Soon the architect was sent to england to wales to scotland to look at great architecture. Hows comb or the result however, was something completely different as we can see here. Glazed who would down this is an ultra modern house. More like a large manor, large Country House or a Country Estate was wouldnt. Until instead grew to an inch. Blish. Blue england is still considered the source of anything modern, including exclusive design. Everything has a touch of empire, even though they are now at war with the british. Ah, ah, ah. The house is a work of art. In the interior, only the ceilings and wall paneling vermin, the regional furnishings are almost completely lost and with them. So as the memory of cecilias influence in shaping the palace, if only in terms of furniture in nicety shows, the interior designer showed the noun books and saw himself as a universal artist. Meaning he designed the rooms into div malloy, him early, styled it all into varden a z. As though he was very, very surprised, and certainly also somewhat annoyed when the Crown Princess cecilia placed paul ludwig tossed at his side and followed, pushed towards 2 to reside in. The shared room is robust, roomy furniture for overseas steamers. Was paola lord vick trusts trademark. Cecilias cabin room, though shows perfectly how the architect could also create something graceful blue. Meanwhile, the crown prince, as at war on the western front, his troops alongside him in the trenches. In 1917, the monarchy collapses. In russia, the United States enters the war, and sicilian huff palace is ready for its new owners. It wont be the last project for sicilian, how far contexts . Who business go . The tours you fall off and we know that gad, he tossed the wife of paul ludovic tossed it. Its introduced hitler to munich society at the end of the 1920 to i am through to him her and essentially taught him to eat with a knife and fork. Miss owen gathered to isnt oh and so that was how hitler met paul ludovic toast. In 1930 and envisioned him as the fuel was 1st architect on site in indian ist. Now, she took this foolish. This book here was written by pals schultz, a noun bike. No, no, its not in d. U after 1918 she, he had stumbled into an ideological rod to the united mine until all of which culminated in an unsavory racist book. He wrote in 1928 called art and race and finance. At often, sciences moses was ultimately the blueprint for the 1937 exhibition of degenerate art not as human losses and altered to couldnt see. That doesnt, as there are already the signs of this strange and twisted volk ish ideology, which was underpinning at low p 80 diane, destined, or des, showed a noun berg combined this with an incredibly radical racism for boulden. Huh. By choice known would, ah, it, the sicilian huff palace in 1918. The Crown Princess wrote about restrictions in the household as well as machinations in the homeland and says, she considers the era the most terrible thing that germans have experienced in 2000 years of history. Ah, a revolution, even in the german empire. The proclamation of a new republic and to red flags on the brandenburg gate. But neither the emperor nor the crown prince would lead the army back to the empire, which is in revolt, as had been expected by the aging leads. They are not seeking confrontation. Instead, they have escaped in secret to the neutral netherlands, or as it as her uncles tide a position arlington minus a large part of the prussian nobility, and the monarchists never forgave. The emperor and his son for the sudden oscar lake to at length actions were interpreted as coward it as months in for them in the kids. If it may be some saw it differently, a practice. But every source indicates a near universal anger and deep seated dismay. At the flight of these 2 supreme heads of the prussian monarchy kept for a position when she broke. The Crown Princess has to cope with the new times alone at cecilia and sam. Revolutionaries want to put a red flag on her palace because real German Properties are considered confiscated until the question of expropriation can be clarified. The crown prince. By now, the former crown prince has been detained on the outpost veering in, in the netherlands. There he has to think and make plans. 2 ah, 5 years later, in 1923, he returns the radical revolutionaries have been defeated. He was also planning a political come back in due course. Cecilia hoff remains in the possession of the holland sans and the temporary confiscation is lifted. Its now home to the family, which is the Royal Institution in republican germany wielding networks and influence the princes are expropriated, but only partially. They are compensated. Nobility were also deprived of their titles, but only in principle. Them on the line for government, for non one ticket, for if you twist the order of 1st names and titles when poise, meaning your name is no longer prince fawn, hoist ellison. But mister fawn, poison ivy glen. We can see it was all a republican compromise. Kanisha compliments. So diana confessed sean, they made a concession to the nobility by saying to you may keep the titles of what for mother formally, the nobility is abolished fun to formerly along dinner. What does that mean . The daughter does . She may, the people still exist from the families still exist and compared to other great historical examples in the french revolution of the russian revolution. Those being the 2 most important ones in the german nobility, retained much of its symbolic and economic power. She under cornwall machine mot by hate. The nazis, the most radical anti democrats conquer in the streets. There is crisis in the german republic. It seems to the crown prince that his hour has now come. A fascist italy has a king and a leader, namely, mussolini. What would that look like in germany . Crown prince vill how often receives his good friend, ham, on glaring at Sicilian Health and even his friend od off hitler chapter . Oh, as skip, im not even frustrated. Im deutschen, as for to wish theres a naive, perhaps foolish idea too. That one could use the Nazi Movement like a trojan horse and toy andreas fit with which one practically jumps out of the trojan horse into the republic. And then creates a new monarchy with vill helm as king vit him. Id say with hitler as imperial chancellor on hitler. Its as vice consider st plan owned isnt in 1932 mats. There were very advanced negotiations between hitler and the crown prince about ado on britt loan, a division of power between them about puck dish and doom filled out as we by not mocked tie, the crown prince would become imperial president of america, and hitler would become his imperial chancellor wanted leather design at this fails because bill home, the 2nd who was still alive and exile forbids this plan. And his son agreed on for beat it. On the later on, hey, the crown prince made a call for the election of hitler at on april 1st 1933 and when the climb glasses and vol alpharetta, the crown prince believed his efforts had one hitler, 2000000 votes. But hitler has tricked them all the german nationalists, and the monarchists. They misunderstand who is the horse and who is its rider. When comes looking back, one can say that the friendliness shown by the revolution and the republic to the nobility was never repaid by the nobility to the republic. He might so could sought i. Ringback ringback crown prince vill helm appeared at a nazi Funeral Service for murdered se man. In february 1933, this was more than a private celebrity appearance. He was here on a mission of his own in good at home, but that old Adverse Health of the crown prince is passing us now they can be verified, but theyre headed up descending the stairs in the rain. Yes, hayden. Madame Gunther Elvis appeared here to honor the fallen essay comrade with a wreath even as have many other superiors and leaders of the essay. Beulah is ah dr. Gerbils, as thou speaking with the crown brace dr. Garbage with him horn, wendy. Ah, mister sasha next period. Thats important was the day of pottstown on march 21st 1933 schmidt and which includes the great pseudo monarchists both play and the Garrison Church and potsdam started. And then later in the coal opera, house and berlin, doctor cimbawe and astonished there it betrayed a symbolic representation of the alliance between the old monarchist forces book symbolized by power upon hinden, brooklyns. As well as the crown prince, who is present here with his family of young v. As in his own role puck to she, the whole salanza made a symbolically key contribution to this alliance between the old and the new world. I dont want no way of aid dodson hitlers click on the garbage click that hitlers view and gerbils of you, which we know from gerbils diaries of the whole insolence as a whole is that they are useful idiots with us in law to do not in other words on those are, these are people we can exploit for our cause and effect. Its kind of up to say was no real mutual respect. I like, i was just for the photo symbolizes this alliance of conservative and National Socialist or citizens of a ti without which they would not have been a january 30th. 1933 glasses, genuine concent on brazil. Without that, the 3rd right would not have been created written by ship to may auto. Hitler would not have risen to power coming and going off season. And you can basically see that in this photo it, i dont think you should exaggerate the role of the crown prince though, because he is the symbolic figure by been the cause. But by playing such a prominent role home in that he was able to influence almost all the countries conservatives registered as london aus a feature story published in a danish magazine in 1934 reported on the sicilian huff palace during the nazi era. This gift and photo without confidence and per heres a photograph with the crown prince is standing here in the upper gallery as my college tinkle and hes hitting a Punching Ball. And that was attached to the hook up here and to the floor down here. And so forth and sitting on the sofa against this wall were 3 of the crown princes children. But his friends, frederick and prince prince, who baptists one and the youngest daughter cecilia, and watching their father hid this Punching Ball with an hour here in the so called breakfast room of the crown prince and princess. Its all that fun and were standing in front of a wonderful carving of use, a vakari who did several very outstanding carvings here in the palace. Oh, it isnt. And there was also a photo in the danish magazine in front of this panel with 2 of the crown princes sons doing with who batches and freed racial and their daughter, also called cecilia by the both princes are wearing as a uniforms and posing for the photographer in front of the heater cover in the breakfast room hateful spotlight open pushed eczema the crown prince sends messages back and forth, but hitler, he sends new years greetings. Sand congratulates the fear her on his birth days as well as on the victories over poland, norway, belgium, holland, france, that that would be the end of the congratulations. Mm hm. Mm hm. And can then i shall have my son nicholas one can of course ask michelle, what did the members of this family do sign the much more interesting question to me is as a van, what did they not do that from you yet . So if a member of this family had openly opposed a National Socialism at any time between 19181945, including prince and 40, imagine at the crown prince had campaigned, not for hitler, but for the republic, the phone from or for a moderate form of conservative ism, for example, for common work i showed up. So it is not a completely impossible or absurd idea that Something Like that it happened fought, but it did not, no avail. The family offered no publicly visible opposition to National Socialism either before or during the 3rd right day off caesar from media. Com i ah 1945 on february, 2nd. The Crown Princess of sicilian hope is already on her way to berlins unaltered train station to catch a train to the west. The crown prince is already in bad kissing in for a retreat. Or 2 months later, british bombs annihilate potsdam city center. Ah, 2 weeks later, the red army enters the city. The end of the war and germany and soviet marshalls you cough walks past berlins holland soul on monument prussian heritage in ruins. Ah, the planned berlin conference of the victors now becomes the potsdam conference of the allies, because berlin was unusable as a Meeting Place potsdam is chosen. Ah, the large modern sicilian hope palace seems suitable. The regal residence just needs to be quickly converted into a conference center. Blue. The shiny leash. Hobbies is called concession cecilia and jacqueline Crown Princess to celia and crown prentice wilhelm. That probably werent ready for what was going to happen. Bob took dusty. Emily caspell courts, the americans would invade here. Hold on me. Not the red army from what a diesel guy here fun. I also think ought from other palaces that were owned by the family without door to yes or for light off austin. Perhaps also from else palace yard does how, which was the main palace where the crown princes family lived in. Felicia and julian dusky aguilar got ha on mont vanished to her former high that they were not prepared to flee on touch on. Just took what they needed is hop local, so this place was filled to the brim. Here for me, please, for negotiations had to be created for 3 government delegations and the undisturbed parts of potsdam, their military consultants, security forces, press technicians, and gast participants from france and poland also needed accommodation, middle class and upper class neighborhoods became of Restricted Military area potsdam architect and preservationist, your glen bag knows almost every house here. This villa was reserved for stalin and he comes august dancers, to warsaw ali, yada vin colon. You can actually say that the whole historic villa colony her, they all had to get out and vice have been a day. There were german parliamentarian, again, commissars with white bandages who went through the houses and said, and within 2 hours of new lease by a student who hours was given in various sources wants to show from this. And this was obviously also in the minds of those who later wrote it down. So need augustine. Well, not an issue. There was very little time old habits lived here, help the happy family gotten big in the fur trade and then ran Major Department store knotted on the door and the cold brought a rug traders, estate wouldnt be good enough for stolen. So the soviet leader agrees to staying in a villa. Cecilia and hope palace gets a big red geranium star in the courtyard. Again, it is symbolic. Soviet property, any stately furniture that isnt needed for a conference, is removed from the house. The big round table is said to have been delivered from moscow, although others think it was from berlin. The victor is probably dont appreciate the precious palace horn, solon, and prussia, our history had been a truly sh estie forced a long d. The impression the americans had at the time was heavily influenced by german immigrants living in the u. S. Partnership as will, many of the immigrants were from the south of germany to, from the in away from prussia department. So they would say to the americans, she says, the main problem in german history is russia that isnt starts and you have to smash this person, stayed, it was on t, the russians, the french and the british also shared this belief when they come to potsdam and 45, some call that prussia was the main target to attack target. They believe they had to break the state. This military power doesnt mean the tomato question. Ah, july 16th 1945, u. S. President Harry S Truman lands in berlin gato. He believes he has a trump card in his suitcase against allan. He now has the bomb. The soviets do not 1st test the atomic bomb at an experimental station in new mexico 16th july. Sir Winston Churchill also arrived the same day a british war time Prime Minister on call. And he just doesnt know yet ah, stolen the generalissimo arrives by train from moscow to potsdam. Thats a good 1800 kilometers at the booted 30 boys that there were 3 heavy trains sit eaten. Stalin was in the middle y for only bust a body guards, trains were in front and behind him, judas. And they had to cover a route through the soviet union, poland, and germany, germany. It led for this purpose, the rails were nailed down to the soviets. Wider, track, gaze, or use. Little below guard stood along the track, 8. 00 to 12. 00 men per kilometer. Was me that is one and k v d soldier got every 100 meters saying that. Right . So good it. Ah, a soviet feature film liter glorifies stollins journey. Ah. The film shows him as victor and sieve here, descending from heaven to his troops into the liberated peoples. Stolen has finally become an icon stun. In the, in the show stool. New styling was in the inexorable process of becoming a god. Him, he was a, did they already in the 19 thirtys. But he became an almighty. Someone who could hold the world in his hand, only after the war and going scope was through. Thats why the title generalissimo was to below his status for him. I think so, the germs, godlike or simply god of the world where what he felt he had earned world. Soviet people, of course, were aware at the time that victory was associated with his name and by b. All europe breathed a sigh of relief except for the germans. Their guilt was enormous. For them the conference could become a great reckoning and east of the order and nice of rivers. The explosion of germans had already begun me. July 17th, 1945 to celia and health palace. The conference begins. Stolen proposes us. President truman is chairman. Truman has to be the mediator because british Prime Minister churchill and stolen disagree on the future. Western border of poland. Stolen wants to significantly enlarge his empire. But churchill wants to rein him in, but 1st, the issue was the germans and the for occupations. Owens, an occupation government. The allied control council is to be installed in my thinking, there was broad agreement on most points. The democrats, for example, on the democratization of germany, on the decentralization of germany, and on the knots, if occasion to name just these points within. But it was understood differently in the east and in the west. This she didnt stolen wants to push all of poland westward. Poland east must become soviet, germanys east must become polish. In addition, theres the dispute about the fate of the germans on the other side of the odor and nice of rivers. How many people lived there . How many would have to be resettled . 9000000. 00 are only one and a half. And there is off the question of reparations. Stolen demands. Reparations. From all for occupation zone. This is vetoed. When truman brings his atomic bomb into play with stalin, stolen remains on moved to france. Harden both the dispute over poland, future western border, and the question of war. Reparations even threatened to derail the conference. Press photos of the big 3 in front of the palace show. None of the gallons opponent churchill learned of his election defeat at home on july 25th. He had to leave. So clement, as we arrived, he is a week figure during this transition stolen and truman agree on a compromise. Ah, he done in the beach, takes reparations from their own zone, and in return we the western powers, recognised that the polish western border in the future will run along the oda and nice river size. This is as a concession to the soviet union is all that is the true outcome of the potsdam conference on the continent. Ah, the post war order is now on paper, a declaration of intent and an opportunity. The occupying powers, including france, will together be responsible for all of germany. The political reality of the post war years however, goes in a different direction. Piece by piece, the iron curtain will divide the world into 2 hostile blocks. Germany will 1st be separated by a demarcation line and leader by wall and barbed wire. And germany is divided into east and west. The potsdam piece resolutions up in smoke. It puts him a conference for kind of tidings confir. The potsdam conference was not a partitioning conference, but it was agreed that the various occupations owns would cooperate within the framework of an allied control council. And i, there were to be central german administration. And in this respect, the result of the conference basically led directly to the 2 plus 4 negotiations of 1991 not because these negotiations would not have been conceivable at all at the potsdam conference made different decisions, stomach and therefore the german question was kept open until 1999 is not so much in 1945. The signs pointed to division. An east german land reform, expropriate large landowners for being supporters of the nazis without compensation and without concessions. The o. The soviets keep Cecilia House for themselves. Ah, and germans are forbidden access for years. Meanwhile, what are the soviets doing in the palace . Its a blind spot in the history of the house. For hundreds vision back of the potsdam u. B. M. Previously unknown film footage from 1946 sheds light on the subject. Busy marshal. So kolowski receives british and american guests at the ceiling and hope me, this is gifts misty conference. Thats not the conference proceed, conference hours. That doesnt look like your conference, you know, talking to the women. There are also confusing. How does that to holland has on thats very interesting. I so then does over co in the high command is here. He is, it needs representative location auto want. And this is one of them is still and mom vice alt. And we also know that Global Political decisions were made there shall dolls. And that leads to a claim by the victorious you, our imogen is were not giving that away issue or i would believe so. Thus, while it was quite clear to them that they would keep it done, but then that soften ha seattles doses of device to root lou the fiftys. The soviets have left the palace sicilian huff becomes east. Germanys national memorial. Ah, at the same time, deep in the west and hacking in the former head of household crown, prince vill helm of prussia is laid to rest. Lou, Crown Princess cecilia dice, 3 years after him in bavaria o potsdam selling salon palaces are museums when theyre not being used for completely different purposes. Sicilian hope however, has a special status. The house is a political museum. Part of east germany is historical image. Ah, and a national memorial. Ah ah, rosa marie has a sheer devonne, who is a memorial director of sicilian hope when the wall ran through the palace garden. Mm. The death strip ran there. Right along the shore of young fans a lake. Ah ah. I have in mind to home to my shoes off, nita, who i never talked about it in my tours, for example. I was embarrassed to her when you have so many guests at guest, even guests from other countries who dont understand im doing that. Cant understand the building of the wall, fusty, what do you say to them . Good. But i of course answered any question that was raised catholic today of thought, i didnt mention it otherwise come a means obviously sh. 1980 sex. Another soviet leader arrived at sicilian hoff. He came as a visitor, hazardous fuss, if not the host could no, i found something at home. But this is obviously gorbachev visits because no, and i remember that so many people had gathered a long gold, which office roots here and the store to buy the road passage done. And he had the cars stop and often shook hands with people. You know, he was a beacon of hope for many and hoffman slager feler 4 years later in early 1990 there were bananas and potsdam coca cola. Freshly Ground Coffee and the 1st free east german elections. Ah, also in 1090 the potsdam memorial with the red star was discussed openly and its future was even put into question them who stopped a little. There were also efforts at that time to not only take away the staff zone, but also to redesign the rooms does not include leaving only the conference, told, with the rest of the furniture, returned to other policies or to hook to fuel when they wanted to limit the museums to the conference hall, often countries on cyber crime scene. Ah, there were National Reflections once the wall fell. Germans from western east or bothered by this room and the juxtaposition of stars and stripes union jack and hammer, and sickle in a german palace. Ah, ah, the right wing isnt interested in discussion and it shows its a violent potential. July 27th. 1990. Shortly after midnight, fire alarm sound flames and gulf. The large hall, there has been arson in a building, constructed almost exclusively of wood, from flooring to wall panels and roofs supports the pots on Fire Department saves the building. Mm. Finally, a Scientific Advisory board from east and west takes on the palace as comfortably him wished aunt for her da and before isnt by the court problem. Before, before this Advisory Board even existed, was that there had naturally been a lot of complaints to the foundation to close this exhibition altogether. I think as to why could you do some historians who were asked quite prominent historian, ones that at the time to close the place down. We dont celebrate our own defeats along. I thought most visited palaces in potsdam overall and after this exhibition was redesign beam is after like you started on was done oil and then we look exactly where the ashtrays are and the cigarette pack. So ah, with the kaiser rice, the weimar republic, the nazi era and east germany all left their mark on this house with the whole insole on eagle and the soviet star. German history, impression east german potsdam. Ah, it with in a globalized world where everything is connected, all it takes is a story. To set things in motion. Local hero show how their ideas can change the world. Global 3000. In 30 minutes on d, w. A food crisis looms over 2 leisure.
