My next video project is "Pokémon Gangster Part 189: The Nazi Meeting", but I need to do some research first.

I talked to my father about Nazi Germany and Hitler and asked him who would appear on a meeting, and he told me that Himler and Goring would. Now before I start on the script on the next Pokémon Gangster, I am going to do a lot of research on Nazi Germany, Hitler, World War 2, or whatever.

Before anyone asks, no, I will not be using Wikipedia to do research on those things. Anyone can edit it, it's not the most reliable website at all. I know they do have their set of rules, but it still isn't the best way to do research.

I might no longer be in school, but who says you need school in order to do research? It might take hours of research just to get the right ideas on what Nazi Germany was in 1940, who Hitler's most trusted friends were, and stuff like that. But if I'm gonna do episodes that take place on 1940 I should research the subject first.

I thought that making a character (Hitler's nephew) would be a good idea. But I shouldn't think up characters when there were people who supported Hitler, and those people should have an appearance.

If you guys know of a good site to do research on Nazi Germany, let me know. And again, I'm not using Wikipedia. Even with their set of rules, it's still a site that anyone can edit. There could be incorrect information that nobody notices, not gonna risk that. Of course I will use Google to look for a website that's about Nazi Germany. But how do I know for sure if I'm reading the right information? I don't, so any help would be appreciated.

I was thinking about going to the library this Saturday (August 28th) but unfortunately it will be closed by the time I get back home from work, so I have to rely on the Internet.

Update: (As of August 30th, 2010)

I managed to go to the library, and I found the perfect book. "Hitler and his Secret Partners", and I will be reading it a lot. After I'm done reading the book, I hopefully know a lot about him.

  1. I've been having a look on Google, but I've not really seen that many good sites (and some you have to get a subscription just to read them!). This is a site I found which may help, but I'm not sure it will give you all the information you need - http://tiny.cc/q8l4n

    I was gonna suggest the library, but you've already mentioned that. Even so, I think the library will be the most reliable place to get information.

  2. Well, Jon, that's exactly what I'm planning on doing tomorrow. The library really is the best place.
