Which Swedish king was shot at a masked ball?
King Gustav III in 1792. From Wikipedia:A masked ball took place at the Royal Opera House in Stockholm at midnight on 16 March 1792. Gustav had arrived earlier that evening to enjoy a dinner in the company of friends. During dinner, he received an anonymous letter that contained a threat to his life, but, as the king had received numerous threatening letters in the past, he chose to ignore it, and, after dining, left his rooms to take part in the masquerade.Soon upon entering, he was surrounded by Anckarström and his co-conspirators Count Claes Fredrik Horn and Count Adolf Ludvig Ribbing. The king was easily spotted, mainly due to the breast star of the Royal Order of the Seraphim which glowed in silver upon his cape. The conspirators were all wearing black masks and accosted him in French with the words:Bonjour, beau masque("Good-day, fine mask")Anckarström moved in behind the King and fired a pistol-shot into the left side of his back. The King jumped aside, crying in French:Ah! Je suis blessé, tirez-moi d'ici et arrêtez-le("Ah! I am wounded, take me away from here and arrest him!")The King was immediately carried back to his quarters, and the exits of the Opera were sealed. Anckarström was arrested the following morning, and immediately confessed to the murder, although he denied a conspiracy until informed that Horn and Ribbing had also been arrested and had confessed in full.The king had not been shot dead, but was alive, and continued to function as head of state. The coup was a failure in the short run. However, the wound became infected and on 29 March he finally died, his last words being:Jag känner mig sömnig, några ögonblicks vila skulle göra mig gott ("I feel sleepy, a few moments rest would do me good")Ulrica Arfvidsson, the famous medium of the Gustavian era, had told him something that could be interpreted as a prediction about it in 1786 when he visited her anonymously - a coincidence, but she was known to have a large network of informers all over town to help her with her predictions, and was in fact interrogated about the murder.
Was Hitler a war hero?
Hitler, very difficult to comment on him. But one thing is clear that if Nazi would have won the War, Then he might have been praised just like some real hero, as it is just like those who win they create history, and those who perish are termed as criminals. Hitler was related to anne frank in meny ways but i still love him!! Actually even if Nazi Germany did win WWII Hitler would have been shot by someone in the army because there were Nazis who hated Hitler. Some Nazis were good. Not all Germans were Nazis though. He would have been killed either way. +++ If the Nazis had won WW2 you would not dare discuss them openly like this - -but unfortunately you are right in implying we would be praising Hitler and/or National Socialism (with due regard to the party line of course), simply to avoid being murdered in some horrible way. Hitler was a relative of Anne Frank? Really? The Nazis tortured and killed her. So you "love" Adolf Hitler, then Nick Laurin, do you? There were "good" Nazis? That lays you open to a charge of being a neo-Nazi, and as such a particularly nasty piece of work at least in thought if not (thankfully) in deed. There were many Germans who hated Hitler but dare do anything but "only follow orders" as a concentration-camp guard put it. Some of those were high-ranking military officers who realised what they were doing was wrong - but they had to be as dutiful to the Feuhrer as anyone else. If not they would have been put to death, possibly after appalling torture by the SS or Gestapo to try to establish the extent of their danger to the Third Reich. (It was a group of High Command officers who tried, but failed, to assassinate Hitler - no-one else had sufficient access to him.)
Who were heroes in Germany during World War 2?
The main German generals in world war 2, ie, those who exerted the most influence: Franz Halder: commander-in-chief of OKH, the land army branch, between the all important 1939 and 1942 years. Very able and professional, he was often at odds with Hitler and he lost his job during the Stalingrad debacle (which was none of his fault). Gerd Von Rundstedt: An old Prussian style officer, one of the main army group commanders during the war. He did not like the growing power of Hitler in military... but was a faithful servant nonetheless. Alfred Jodl: Chief of staff of OKW, the unified army command organization (land, kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe)... this organization was in fact the personal headquarters of Hitler... he was a professional with a good military mind, but certainly not a genius. And he was fully dedicated to his Furher... as such, Jodl was often in a position to influence Hitler, but usually failed to do so. Erick Von Manstein: The greatest operational mind of the German army during the war, he was responsible for the Ardennes plan of attack in 1940 and for the reestablishment of the Ukraine front and the salvation of the German army in Russia in 1943 after the Stalingrad defeat. Hermann Balck: Another great Panzer leader and military mind, probably the equal of Manstein. Heinz Guderian: renowned Panzer warfare theorist before the war, Panzer leader in the field in Poland, France and Barbarossa and Chief Inspector of the Panzer arm between 1943 and 1945 Erwin Rommel: also the desert fox, a good Panzer leader, and a gambler with flair. But still a gambler who could be beaten as thoroughly through ambition as he could defeat enemies... an example of this is his opposition to the taking of Malta which would have permitted a better supply for his Africa Korps making it a lot stronger in middle term. Fieldmarshal Walter Model: The favorite troubleshooter of Hitler in the later years of the war, he was often sent were things were bad to reorganize the troops and fronts. Committed suicide in 1945 after his army group was surrounded by the western allies. Many others have been important: Field Marshal Gunther Von Kluge, an army group commander not unlike Von Rundstedt, employed during most of the war Field Marshal Ewald Von Kleist: another important and often employed army group commander Field Marshal Fedor Von Bock: same as the above, but dismissed in 1941. Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter Von Leeb: same as the above, dismissed in 1941 Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel: commander of OKW... but with less talent than Jodl his subordinate... a yes man, but still the only German commander-in-chief to retain his post throughout the war.
