This is a presentation of Third Reich era residential architecture - the houses of Reich era Germany. Many people have presented works by Speer, Troost, etc, I am doing something different. I have always had an interest in residential design. The houses featured here are typical Third Reich style - mostly typical middle class residences. Although traits of these designs are found in houses from before and after the Reich, this style has a 1930s association. These houses are finally being prized and renovated today…some Germans are not afraid of their past. The Nazis appreciated craftsmanship just as any German, and these houses have a high level of workmanship. So many today do not. “My house” is shown in the last two photos, a 1938 clinker-brick house in Berlin-Frohnau. These houses are the way things should look, this was to be a beautiful world, a sound aesthetic.

    I lived many years in Europe and noticed their houses are generally better built than in the U.S. on average (there are exceptions on both sides of course, but on average Europeans build homes better, by which I mean more solid, sturdier, bound to last longer). (Of course once the Jews have got the European nations one-hundred-percent re-populated with Negroes that’ll change. They’ll be living in mud-daub huts with beaten-earth floors and grass rooves, their Jewish overlords dwelling in nearby palaces in which the Negroes and mulattoes work as servants. No more whites.)

    A Fleming I know, an immigrant to Quebec (he’s a cousin of my wife’s), who was a farmer in Flanders and is one in Quebec too (he just retired from farming), told me, after seeing how houses were constructed in Quebec, he thought the Europeans overbuilt unnecessarily. After moving here he came to prefer the “lighter” North American style, he said. I don’t agree: I much prefer the sturdier built-to-last European style. I saw, however, last time I visited his farm house, he’d built an extension onto it to enlargen the living room and formal dining room, and add a little office for his paperwork, and he did it with massive wooden beams using timber he cut from his farm woodlot. He made the walls of this extension thick, put in European-style casement windows all around, made the spot where his wood stove plugged into the chimney ornate with paneling, hung gorgeous chandeliers, and with his heirloom Flemish furniture added the place looks like a room in a European manor house. So he likes the heavy sturdy European style after all, just thinks he prefers the North American.

    I do agree though, those National Socialist era houses in the video are certainly very esthetic and sturdy looking. I wouldn’t mind living in any of them.

    Censorship again? When I try t see the video, I get the message, that it is no longer available.

    It’s available to me. Maybe you can’t view it from the anti-German Bastardstate?

    It’s available to me too, I just checked. Unbelievable! The Jews have got Jewrmany in a state of communications lockdown so severe they aren’t even allowed to see homes built in Germany during the National Socialist period! In a way it’s a good sign, though, if they’re that scared: it must not take much to overthrow them if they’re so fragile. In being so iron-fisted, they announce in a way their own achilles heel.

    The BRD is more afraid and censorious than China.
