Where should we go next? 🌏❓

Just some small corrections / actualisations:

1.) Germany' population is 83, 2 million by now.
3.) To try and break free isn't justiciable, but any damage to people or property done in the process will be punished.
6.) It's an irregularity (not a criminal offense) to run out of fuel on highways *because of negligence*.
7.) It exactly the other way around by now: more kids have grown up and more teachers are needed.
8.) The origin of the name "Hamburger" is actually a matter of debate.
10.) For some months, a lot of videos were blocked because of a copyright dispute going on. It was resolved years ago.
18.) Renewable energy is far above 50% by now when it comes to electricity and about 17% for the overall energy use.
19.) Germany isn't one of the Top 10 countries with the lowest birth rate at the moment.
21.) Nazi uniforms weren't designed by Hugo Boss. By then, the company wasn't even a mentionable fashion designer, it just produced clothing.
24.) Paul McCartney and Pete Best were deported for arson, not for specifically burning a condom. The German authorities may have overreacted a little, though. 😆

Bomb findings are really a every day thing in germany. In my hometown dortmund we had 54 bombs findings last year. So about one every week. And the bombs become more dangerous over time because of corrosion. When a bomb is found the people living in that area have immediatly to be evacuated for the bomb disposal

Another fun fact since it is such a current topic 😛 The BARBIE doll is actually an updated version of the German Bild-Lilli, which looked like a more adult version of Barbie, and Mattel bought the rights in 60, and from then on no more Lilli, just Barbie in the world.

No, the bombs all are randomly spread out and found on two ways: One, there are still photos taken from the allied after air attacks and after war, showing craters, of those who ave exploded, and those who have not. We named them "Blindgänger" ( like gone blind), and those old photos from spy planes are still compared today with new and actual overlays of the same parts. Sometimes there are buildings today over defintly discovered Blindgänger -bombs. Two- they are randomly found in construction at work for streets or buildings. all that happens about 15 times a day all over the country. Then you hear it on the radio, that certain areas have to be evacuated. I myself had this two times during my University times in Hannover and Götiingen, where i also whitnessed a spontaneous explosion, an just recently one was discovered there on a most populated fair ground and exploded during the attempt to make it harmless, killing several people. Oftentimes i have stood right there decades ago. Those bombs are never found in huge clusters they all are single failed examples.

The blocked music videos are because of GEMA fees (the GEMA collects the money you have to pay for artistic license) which is a pretty tough agency in Germany. So, it's not about privacy laws but about property rights laws in this case.

Fact 3 is true. It is basically only applicable if the door is open and you just walk out. It is still illegal to destroy or damage something during your breakout for example. An you will get charged with destruction of property. Just the act to flee is not punishable though.

I am an archeologist and depending on where I had a dig, I had to have the ground scanned with a metal detector so I wouldn't end up blowing up excarvating. I remember one of my excavations where I had to call the explosive ordnance disposal service several times, who were then allowed to take a dozen grenades. A forest ranger in this area told me that many of the trees in this forest are unusable because they are riddled with metal splinters from the wars and cannot be sawn.
In France there are still places where nothing has grown since the First World War.
The consequences of the world wars will probably be with us for another hundred years.

4:50 there are a lot of findings. In my city alone, there were 5 findings this year. And everytime a huge area needs to get evacuated until it's safely defused.

My great grandpa died in WWI. My great grandma was left as a widow with 13 children. Emigrated from Katowice to Dortmund for work, lived to both world wars, hated Hitler, died one month prior to the moon landing. Great woman, inspiring.

[cadeeja.]

The condom story is twisted around to sound like it was something odd and sensational. One of the Beatles lit one up in a hotel room and they were kicked out for breaching security rules, that's all.

[Papa_Asada]

You dont get punished just for the breakout. But if you hurt someone or damage something you get a punishment

[GiavanniGabrieli]

In my neighbourhood 2 bombs from WW2 have been disarmed some time ago. They have only been found because of the renewal of that area. In that area was originally an american military base. It was decomissioned 15 years ago. So essentially, american soldiers lived and worked directly above their own bombs for nearly 40 years.

[hellemarc]

They do find bombs every day. Only last week, they found a huge American bomb from WWII in the city nearby, they had to evacuate thousands of people.
This place of worship for all religions exists now in Berlin (the video must be older).
The Nazi uniforms were NOT designed by Hugo Boss, but he manufactured them in his plants. From Wikipedia: "By the third quarter of 1932, the all-black SS uniform was designed by SS members Karl Diebitsch (artist) and Walter Heck (graphic designer). The Hugo Boss company was one of the companies that produced these black uniforms for the SS."
Burning condoms has never been illegal. McCartney and Harrison did burn a condom, and their landlord reported them for attempted arson.
The very first calculating machine was invented by the French man Blaise Pascal in 1642, when he was 16 years old. The German Philip Matthäus Hahn together with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz developed their machine in 1672, 30 years later. The author of the video got a few things wrong. He forgot to mention the mp3 player, which was invented by a German (among other things).

why would they find a bunch of bombs together? They only find the ones that did not detonate when being dropped. So, indeed, they find and defuse around 15 each day all over Germany… Often, you hear of entire neighborhoods being evacuated because on some building site, a bomb has been found and they must all retire to some far away gym until it has been defused and building can go on…

[MsChris]

Hugo Boss designing the Nazi-uniform is a myth. They didn’t design, but tailored the uniform. Like other clothes manufacturers in Germany at the time.

The blocking of content was due to copyright issues. No censorship. The problem was solved some years ago.

[maryannecomment]

My mother was 18 when World War 2 started, and she told me that every man from her generation was gone. She could only marry men, who were at least 5 years or younger than she was. And my parents lived in the Netherlands. It was not just Germany that lost an entire generation of men. This happened in many European countries, who were involved in the war.

[ezraabbadon]

theres no additional punishment for jailbreak. you will be brought back to serve the rest of your sentence, and you will receive punishment if you damaged something or harmed someone during the breakout, but not for the breakout itself

[blondkatze]

It is very sad that so many women could not get a man at the end of WWI. But at the end of WWII many women were also widows and alone with their children, because their husbands died in the war and never come back. The hearts of many mothers and women were broken by the grief. My grandfather is only 27 years old fallen in Stalingrad /Russia.🙏😔💜

2) ...true, but Venice is not really big and doesn't have that many bridges (around 400)... So Berlin does have more bridges, but Hamburg has even more. It's the city with most bridges in Europe (almost 2500) and it's sometimes called "Venice of the North".
