Charlemagne's Legacy: Historical Revisionism and Nazi Appropriation

This documentary-style video provides a comprehensive examination of the historical revisionism surrounding Charlemagne and his legacy, particularly in the context of Nazi Germany. It begins by establishing Charlemagne's historical significance, his religious reforms, and the Carolingian Renaissance, offering a balanced view of his policies, including his treatment of Jews.

The latter half focuses on how Charlemagne's legacy was debated, rehabilitated, and ultimately co-opted by the Nazi regime. It explores the myths about Nazi occultism and how popular culture has distorted historical understanding. The video encourages critical thinking about historical narratives by showing how historical figures and events can be reinterpreted and manipulated for ideological purposes, while providing factual historical context.
