I miss when the history channel was 90% Hitler content.
Hitler's rise to power. Hitler's war on the eastern front. Hitler's Nazi super megastructures. Hitler's downfall. Hitler's atomic weapon. Hitler's dog.
At least it was educational.
I recall it being more about WW2 than Hitler. I enjoyed it, but you can find better military history on YouTube these days.
Maybe that's why everything went to shit, because they stopped (or once showed?) the endless hitler content.
I unironically think it probably played a role. When I was growing up (and History Channel showed WWII history), it was generally just understood and accepted that Nazis were evil scum and Hitler was one of the worst people in the 20th century. It wasn't even up for debate.
It's probably more about the sabotaging of our public education system, but I think this is actually part of that.
