In Defense of 'Where Hands Touch' Part 5
Hey y’all! This review part came out later than I really wanted but I have a really great and adorable excuse: I had a baby! So as part of recovery and getting adjusted to a new little one at home I put editing on pause but I was anxious to get this part done and keep on trucking. This part covers the Nazification of German culture, Jazz music under the Reich and the Swing Kids. There is A LOT of information in this video so, as I say in the video, BUCKLE UP!
Support YOU CAN’T UNWATCH IT by watching and sharing our reviews, following us on social media and buying us some coffee on BUY ME A COFFEE. Y’all are the best!
