ECSTATIC TRUTHS (mistakes):

5.23 - It was one of the few pockets of Germany virtually untouched by the Nazi REGIME, not occupation. Germany did not occupy Germany.


16.40 - The wording here is misleading. The Spaniards initially called him "el alemán", or literally, "the German", and from there Werner landed on calling himself "El Alamein"

Also, in the video, I pronounce El Alamein with a faux-Spanish pronunciation even though it's technically Arabic. That's not much of a mistake necessarily, as that's probably closer to how his name would have actually been pronounced in Mexico, but I thought I'd mention it.

ALSO, the claim that the battle of El Alamein was the "second biggest military defeat for Nazi Germany after Stalingrad" is pretty much a direct quote from Werner himself, and it is completely wrong on basically every metric. Should've known better than to take this man at face value.


1.08.05 - "Der" is spelled with two r's. Also, while "the" is closest word you can translate it to, Bruno is not talking in third person as I claim here. The actual linguistics of it goes above my head, but referring to yourself by the definitive article like this is actually fairly normal for people from Bavaria.
