If YouTube had been around in 1934, when Hitler purged the Nazi Party in what is known as the Night of the Long Knives WWII would not have happened .

Germans and their allies were able to turn a bind eye to Hitler's crimes because they were somewhat hidden and overlayed with a propaganda spin. When the Nuremburg defendants were shown film of their crimes most felt too sick to look at it. The exception was Hermann Goering. I believe in absolute transparency when it comes to political crimes. I did not view this video because I have seen too much similar stuff from the ISIS wars. I don't want to see any more killing. To repeat, extremist political movements of whatever kind need to be framed and condemned by evidence of their own making.Criminalising the exposure of political crimes and their political support movements is a stupid and counterproductive approach.

hitler already took care of his major opponents well before the 'night', soon after he was elected in Jan 1933 he started on rounding up and sending to concentration camps 27,000 rank and file socialists and democrats.https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/political-prisoners
