Become the person hes always wanted to be. I was born in berlin. Starts july 22nd on d w i. Oh, he 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 little bit more. Yeah. Which 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 of a lot. Shortly after the war ended, the victors flags hung just below the hoa and fell on eagle and the bull crest of mecklenburg. 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 do, and the peoples commissariat for state security was up us assume cuba, o Winston Churchill, joseph stalin, and harry s. Truman. The big 3 sealed precious fate in this house in sullen palace. 50 years earlier, the palace doesnt yet exist, but dreams of it. Do. A married couple with offspring on horseback vill helm greased 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 dvd. They were given just one function 9th to give birth to crown princes, which way. The german empire, a modern Industrial Power with an over zealous interest in its military. This is in zoes will be produced, is what shape the image shape society. A glad zip depiction of the hey day of the prussian military go glenside the, you know, its the hey day when the guard regiments in dunden 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 thats id kaiser when this slide. Oh, well, the real residents isnt 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 will help the official engagement photo. 2 yeah, you know, the magnificent wedding in the imperial capital, the greek ruin event of 19 o 5. Ah, cecilia gustavo 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 residences planned for the young couple in potsdam, new garden. It is to be the home salons 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 h o architect power. She also numbered with commissions for the project. Construction began in 1913. Ah, architect and historian will scan. Chester specializes in 20th century construction. The conklin skills to who shy of new inviting violette to visit in hub boy to hoped and soon the crown prince was allowed to do as he pleased to waiter soon the architect was sent to england to wales to scotland to look at great architecture house. Come on the result however, was something completely different as we can see here, placed who would down. This is an ultra modern house, more like a large manor, large country house, or a Country Estate was wouldnt until a suit gluten and splish, 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 some in i should take me. She was the interior designer, shoe of the noun books, and saw himself as a universal artist. Meaning he designed the rooms, wasnt even more homer shy at it. Oh, into valden as he has. So he was very, very surprised, and certainly also somewhat annoyed when the Crown Princess cecilia placed paul ludwig close at his side and followed, pushed towards tubes. As i did, the stage in rome is o robust, roomy furniture for overseas steamers was power, louise trot, trademark. Cecilias cabin room though, shows perfectly how the architect could also create something graceful. Meanwhile, the crown printed that 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 cecilia hope palate is ready for its new owners. It wont be the last project for Cecilia Hogue architects. This now does go the tours to 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 im through to him her and essentially taught him to eat with a knife and fork. Miss owen gathered to s o n z o o. That was how hitler met paul ludovic toast. In 1930 and envisioned him as the fuel was 1st architect on z i in e, md in ist now, should take this. Who was this book here . Was written by pals schultz. A noun bark . No, no, its no, not in indie you. After 1918 she, he had stumbled into an ideological rot, the united ma novilla, all of which culminated an unsavoury racist book. He wrote in 1928 called art and race and finance. And often sciences moses was ultimately the blueprint for the 1937 exhibition of degenerate art not as human glasses and altered to coons doesnt, as there are already the signs of this strange and twisted volk ish ideology which was underpinning it, look easy to understand or des shoots a noun berg combined this with an incredibly radical racism for wooden huh. By choice and only, ah, and this Cecilia Hogue 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 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. So they are not seeking confrontation and said they have escaped in secret to the neutral netherlands as it has had and goes to a position oddly going on. Its just a large part of the prussian nobility, and the monarchists never forgave the emperor and his son for the sudden oscar leg to attend. Their actions were interpreted as cowardice as quick as if it may be some saw at 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 the position when i see the Crown Princess has to cope with the new times alone at Cecilia Hogue. 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 for the crown prince. Now the former crown prince has been detained on the post veering and 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 sands, and the temporary confiscation is lifted. It is now home to the family, which is a Royal Institution in republican, germany wielding networks and influence. Ah, 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 go on for non one teachers. If you twist the order of 1st names and titles, one points, 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 soon, dinah confessed sean. They made a concession to the nobility by saying, do you may keep the titles of what for mother formally of the nobility is abolished from to formerly of london. What does that mean . The daughter dusty 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 issue under cornwall. Machine mot by hate. The nazis, the most radical anti democrats conquering 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 ville. How often receives his good friend, ham, on glaring at sicilian huff and even his friend off hitler chapter. Ah, as good. I know not even for i still am deutsche and as for to wish theres a naive, perhaps foolish idea too. That one could use the Nazi Movement like a trojan horse and toy honest 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 concert isnt 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, publish and doom, few thoughts as we by not much time, the crown prince would become imperial president is im a kind, hitler would become his imperial chancellor wanted leather design at this fails because vill home. The 2nd who was still alive in exile forbids this plan and his son agreed on for beat it on later on. Hey, the crown prince made a call for the election of hitler on april 1st 1933 and will not climb glasses and vol. Alphretta. 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 crown prince vill helm appeared at a nazi Funeral Service for murdered as a 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 address of the crown prince is passing us now. They can be ready flight, but they are headed. Descending the stairs in the rain. Yes. Hating on that. I am gunther. Elvis appeared here to honor the fallen essay comrade with a wreath even as have many other superiors and leaders of the essay. You are dead. Ah, doctor gerbils is now speaking with the crown prince doctor rubbish with important ah mister sasha, next period thats important was the day of pottstown on march 21st 1933 in which includes the great pseudo monarchists both play held in the Garrison Church and pottstown show and then later in the coal opera, house and berlin, doctor sim, bullish augustine. It betrayed a symbolic representation of the alliance between the old monarchist forces book symbolized by power upon hinden. Borkman as well as the crown prince. Who is present here with his family of young v. As in this cornwall puck to she, the whole insulins made a symbolically key contribution to this alliance between the old and the new world. I dont know. I update 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 who doesnt like to do you 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 know about this for the photo symbolizes this alliance of conservative and National Socialist forces of achieve without which they would not have been a january 30th. 1933 glasses janora constantine rises. Without that the 3rd right would not have been created by ships. The may auto, hitler would not have risen to power coming and going off to you. 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. But i stood 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 foot without one person per hears. 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 for you and sitting on the sofa against this wall were 3 of the crown princes children. But from the frederick and prince prince, who baptists, and the youngest daughter cecilio and watching their father hid this Punching Ball with an hour here in the so called breakfast room of the crown prince and princess. 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, autism. 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 baptists and fried 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, hetzels fog light on foot, eczema blue. 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. And condemnation mustnt immediately one can. Of course ask michelle, what did the members of this family do line the much more interesting question to me is as a van, what did they not do from you yet . So if a member of this family had openly opposed to National Socialism at any time between 19181945, including plants and 40, imagine that the crown prince had campaigned, not for hitler, but for the republic to form from or for a moderate form of conservatism, for example, for common workers showed up. So it is not a completely impossible or absurd idea that Something Like that could have happened, fought, but it did not. No avail. The family offered no publicly visible opposition to National Socialism, either before or during the thir drive. Dal caesar for media combat i ah 1945 on february, 2nd. The Crown Princess of sicilian hope is already on her way to berlins unhealthy 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 helen 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 residents just needs to be quickly converted into a conference center. Blue. The shiny leash. Hobbies is called consistent. Its you. You and jacqueline Crown Princess to celia and crown prince mil. Him probably went ready for what was going to happen. Bob took dusty omelette, caspell courts. The americans would invade here. Hold on me, not the red army from wood to decile guy here. Fun. I also think ought from other palaces that were owned by the family was stored here or for light off austin. Perhaps also from else palace yard does help, which was the main palace where the Crown Princess family lived in. Felicia and julian dusty aguilar got ha on mom vanished to her former hired it. They were not prepared to flee on, tucked on, just took what they needed is hoppel uncle. So this place was filled to the brim. Here for a place for negotiations. Had to be created for 3 government delegations, and the undisturbed parts of potsdam, their military consultants, security forces, press technicians, and guest 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 back knows almost every house here. This villa was reserved for stalin. I mean cummins arent just dancers to warsaw ali, yada vin colon. You can actually say that the whole historic villa colony, 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 you leave. Why a student who hours was given in various sources, lots of sheltons us. And this was obviously also in the minds of those who later wrote it down. Oh, soul need augustine. Well, not an issue. There was very little time hauled, half ish lived here, help the happy family gotten big in the fur trade and then ran Major Department store knotted on the door in the call for a rug traders, estate wouldnt be good enough for stolen. So the soviet leader agrees to staying in a villa. Cecilia 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 tallish, estee forced a long day. The impression the americans had at the time was heavily influenced by german immigrants living in the u. S. Partnership as were many of the immigrants were from the south of germany to, from the, in away from prussia, the part and so they would say to the americans, he says, the main problem in german history is what russia mean. It isnt starts and you have to smash this prussian state. 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 do something to tear mazzocco she ah, july 16th 1945, u. S. President Harry S Truman lans 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 with at the booted the boys that there were 3 heavy trains. City and start allan was in the middle one for only bust. A body guards trains were in the front and behind him jesus. And they had to cover a route through the soviet union, rowland and germany, germany. It yet for this purpose the rails were nailed down to the soviets, whiter, track, age, or use. Little below guards 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, they ended. Right so good it. Oh, soviet feature film leader glorifies stollins journey. Ah. The film shows him as victor and see here, descending from heaven to his troops into the liberated peoples stolen has finally become an icon. Stunning v in the show stool. New styling was in the inexorable process of becoming a god. Him, he was a deity already in the 19 thirtys, but he became an almighty some one who could hold the world in his hand, only after the war 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 so he had earned world. Soviet people of course, were aware of the time that victory was associated with his name and by being all europe and 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 odor and nicer rivers. The explosion of germans had already begun. Me. July 17th, 1945 to celia 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 involvement, 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 as she didnt stolen wants to push all of poland westward. Poland east must become soviet, germany, thess 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 live there . How many would have to be resettled . 9000000. 00 are only one and a half. And there is also 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 unmoved. The france hardened 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 stollins 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 odor and nice river size. This is as a concession to the soviet union is all that is the true outcome of the potsdam conference, confident 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. Germany is divided into east and west. The potsdam piece resolutions up in smoke. It puts him a conference for kind of times count for 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. Am i there were to be Central German Administration says, and in this respect the result of the conference basically led directly to the 2 plus 4 negotiations of 1994. Not because these negotiations would not have been inconceivable at all at the potsdam conference made different decisions time upon for therefore, the german question was kept open until 1999 is not so much. In 1945, the signs pointed to division. An east german land to reform, expropriate large landowners for being supporters of the nazis without compensation and without concessions. Ah, the soviets keep cecilia hoff 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 hon is written back of the potsdam museum. Previously unknown film footage from 1946 sheds light on the subject. Busy marshal, so kolowski receives british and american guests at cecilia hoff. Ah, this is gets nifty confidence. Thats not the conference. Does each knock off on source that doesnt look like your conference. I am d doff tolten and the women there are also confusing doesnt to holland us on. Thats very interesting. Either 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 in some advice ult, and we also know that Global Political decisions were made there shall dolls. And that leads to a claim by the victorious howard imogen. Were not giving that away issue as i would believe. So thats why it was quite clear to them that they would keep it done, but then that softened. Ha, seattles dozens of co vice wrote ah, the fiftys. The soviets have left the palace sicilian half be comes east. Germanys national memorial. Ah, at the same time, deep in the west and hacking, in the former head of household crown, prince wilhelm of prussia is laid to rest. Mm. The Crown Princess cecilia died 3 years after him in bavaria. Ah, potsdam, how in salon palaces or museums when theyre not being used for completely different purposes. Cecilia and hope however, has a special status. The house is a political museum, part of east germany. Its historical image. The the and a national memorial. The, the me rosa marie hi, this year yvonne was a memorial director of civilian hope. When the wall ran through the palace garden the death strip ran there. Right along the shore of young fans the late me ah ah, we have in mind to want to mush, we all need a hoof. I never talked about it in my tours, for example. I was embarrassed to when you have so many guess against even guests from other countries who dont understand and only 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, kept latuda of hot. I didnt mention it. Otherwise come of, i mean, obviously sh. 1980 sex. Another soviet leader arrived at sicilian huff. He came as a visitor, as this was, if not to host for no i found something at home. But this is obviously gorbachev. His visits because no, and i remember that so many people had gathered a long gorbachev, its roots here and stood to by the road passage done. And he had the cause stop and often shook hands with people. You know, he was a beacon of hope for many and hoffmans kreger philo 4 years later in early 1990. There were bananas in potsdam coca cola, freshly Ground Coffee and the 1st free east german elections. Ah, also in 1990 the potsdam memorial with the red star was discussed openly and its future was even put into question them stopped a little. There were also efforts at that time to not only take away the staff zone, but also to redesign the rudeness and would include leaving only the conference whole with the rest of the furniture returned to other policies. I talked to few and they wanted to limit the cmc that the conference. So often contra inside the clemson. Ah, there were National Reflections once the wall fell. Germans from west and east were 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 violent potential. July 27th, 1990. Shortly after midnight, fire alarm sound flames in gulf. The large hall there has been arisant in a building constructed almost exclusively of wood, from flooring to wall panels and roofs supports the pot, some Fire Department seats the building mm hm. Finally, a Scientific Advisory board from east and west takes on the palace as comfortably him be found. For darwin before stephen, 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 guess to wake up to some historians who were asked quite prominent historians that at the time closed the place down, we dont celebrate our own defeat alarm. I thought it was an important historical site as well as a palace for potsdam. And i worked hard to ensure that the building would be preserved. This that the exhibition would be preserved often, and thats exactly what happened aunt is was and the house actually became a very popular palace. 11 of the most visited palaces in potsdam, over all port. After this exhibition was redesign beam. These are often when i distracted one box it would annoy and then we look exactly where the ashtrays are and the cigarette pack something 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.
