Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the Eastern Front of World War II starts out with the prelude episode #3. Previously we discussed the rise of the Red Army and the Soviet Reconquests ( • Rise of the Red Army - Eastern Front ... ), while this episode will focus on the German army in the 20s, before the rise of Hitler. How did Germany go from total defeat in 1918 to laying the foundations for World War II? In this episode, we dive deep into Germany’s Military After WW1, tracking how the Weimar Republic rose from the ruins, as covered in Germany’s Defeat and Weimar's Birth. We’ll uncover how Freikorps and Early Nazi Leaders turned Germany into a battleground of ideologies, with mercenaries, extremists, and future Nazis fighting in the streets. The chaos culminates in the Kapp Putsch and Republican Struggles, a near-fatal blow to democracy that exposed the fragile soul of the new republic. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, the Reichswehr plotted a secret comeback, as shown in Reichswehr’s Secret Rearmament—training in Soviet Russia and quietly developing the deadly doctrines of future Blitzkrieg warfare. Finally, we unravel Germany’s Interwar Naval Strategies, where ambitious dreams of massive battleships clashed with the reality of U-boats and commerce raiding.This is the hidden story of how postwar chaos, secret military experiments, and shattered ideals lit the fuse for the next global catastrophe.
