Second post of today so will keep it short. Total War has been officially declared in Germany now. Spartacus explains what exactly that speech does, and doesn't, mean - but as the war continues to become ever more inhumane, this series may need to expand.

Total War NOW - WAH 053 - February 1943, Pt. 2

Germany declares total (unconditional war) putting its economy on a full war footing over three years into the war. Given the unconditional war they are already waging, and the resistance and opposition they now face, it’s unclear what it shall mean.

Yes, except this time it's our own fault & we will probably lose.

Had to do a double-take on that tie design. Still pondering how to think of its appearance in this episode.

Yea.....idk I got into an argument with someone at work about why its important that we in the States pay attention.

It’s a nod to the German student resistance movement because of the execution of the White Rose members. The students resisting Naziism often referred to themselves as pirates - the second biggest movement even called themselves the Edelweiss Pirates. Hence the Jolly Roger tie. When the video goes public I will (as I recently began doing explain that on my Instagram feed). Best, Spartacus

Great job as always team and Sparty. It is interesting that the Italians and Japanese seemed to protect the Jewish population. The Italians didn't hand over their population until Germany invaded them and pretty much took over their government. My grandfather was part of the bombing of Germany flying a B-17 in late 44 and 45. I saw his log and sure enough he bombed the factories.

Goebells used the term total war rather than unconditional war. Hitler and Germany had not planned for total war, They planned for swift victories based on the blitzkrieg and had not planned for a long war utilizing all the resources that Germany possessed. They had not moved women into the factories as the allies had. A woman's job was to tend the home and produce offspring. They belatedly realized that this was now going to be a long war and they lacked the resources in men and materials that the allies had. That is why they were acknowledging the possibility of defeat to motivate the populace to a more strenuous effort.

There is an interesting book on the subject, available as in .pdf format; "The Nation at War" by none other than Erich Ludendorf.
