Germany in WW2

The key principles of fascism include the state having absolute power. There is also a strict social order that prevents uprising from the citizens. There is one charismatic leader in a fascist government and he is one who may never be questioned. In a fascist government, peace is seen as weakness and aggression as strength.

It's difficult to put a price on a genuine Panzer from WW2. There aren't that many running around. However, to give an idea of what it might cost, someone is currently selling (June 2012) an authentic restored 1943 M18 Hellcat for $469,000 USD. A high quality replica (non functional guns) has just been marked down to $149,000 USD. I guess it's hard to find a place to park a 26 ton 11' wide behemouth without having the neigbours complain.

In 2008, a stash of 22 rusted out, stripped Panzer tanks from WW2 were auctioned off in Bulgaria. They were left over from the war and sold off - starting bids for these rusted out relics was $124,467 USD. No word on what the final bids were.

According Vol. 1 of Ian Kershaw's biography of Hitler there is no evidence of antisemitism on Hitler's part before 1917, when he was 28.

Aside from the Jewish, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma Gypsies, courageous resisters, other pastors and priest, homosexuals, the disabled and masons were executed by the Nazis. Prior to World War I, there were very few dark-skinned people of African descent in Germany. But, during World War I, black African soldiers were brought in by the French during the Allied occupation. Most of the Germans, who were very race conscious, despised the dark-skinned "invasion". Some of these black soldiers married white German women that bore children referred to as "Rhineland Bastards" or the "Black Disgrace". In Mein Kampf, Hitler said he would eliminate all the children born of African-German descent because he considered them an "insult" to the German nation. Many husbands and wives of Jews in Germany were forced to choose between divorce or concentration camps. Hitler would not allow "interracial" marriages. Those that chose to remain married were punished by imprisonment in camps where many died.

Same way as other cultures; flowers, sex. Verbally, it's

"Ich liebe dich" for "I love you".

It wanted Norway's Ice free harbors and access to iron ore from mines in Sweden. It invaded Denmark so it would be easier to invade Norway.

1. The Nazis invaded country after country, and this brought more and more Jews under German control. As a result, the Nazis' self-inflicted 'Jewish problem' grew and grew for them. (In particular, the invasion of Poland and, later, of the Soviet Union, brought a huge increase in the number of Jews under Nazi rule).
2. The war shielded the Holocaust from outside intervention, in much the same way as WW1 shielded the Ottoman Turkish genocide of the Armenians in 1915.
3. The Nazis were able to conduct the Holocaust in Poland, which is difficult to access from, say, Britain.
4. The Holocaust was a kind of 'subplot' of World War 2. Saying this is not intended to diminish its significance but to put it in the context of World War 2.
5. Some historians, such as Christopher Browning, see the Holocaust as part of a wider campaign by the Nazis to rid the world of what the latter called 'Jewish Bolshevism' ('Jewish Communism').

A Constitutional Monarchy ruled by a Fascist dictator. This means that there was a king (Vittorio Emanuele III), who was the leader of the country but just ceremonially (Like the queen of England). The government was controlled by Fascists like Benito Mussolini and his like-minded cohorts.

Auschwitz, which consisted of three camps on the main site and a further 45 sub-camps.

Eggland and Llama land

During the Great Depression, people believed anything that sounded good. When Hitler came into power, he used two tactics. The first is that is voice caught people's ears, and the second was that Hitler had the Gestapo, and the Brown shirts (people named that protected Hitler that wore brown shirts), so any opposition was crushed, so finally that's how Hitler Established a totalitarian.

Some in the world deny that the holocaust even happened. Jehovah's Witnesses recognize that the holocaust happened, in fact, many of Jehovah's Witnesses were murdered at the hands of the Nazis in concentration camps. There is an entire section of the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC dedicated to Jehovah's Witnesses. The website address for that is : http://www.ushmm.org/education/resource/jehovahs/jehovahsw.php Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Nazi Holocaust and all the other genocides that have occurred are all prt of the composite sign that Jesus gave in Matthew chapter 24, Luke chapter 21, and Mark chapter 13, that indicate that we are living in the "last days" of this present system of things. Jehovah's Witnesses have been able to face, even death, because of the hope that we have that soon this present rulership will be done away with, and God's Kingdom with Jesus Christ as king will rule and even those who have died will be ressurrected to paradise on earth. See the article "Jehovah's Witnesses, Courageous in the Face of Nazi Peril": http://www.watchtower.org/e/19980708/article_01.htm == As one of Jehovah's Witnesses and can say that the Holocaust definitely happened and it was an extreme test of fait to be taken away from their homes and put in concentration camps but many were able to endure and survive. Those who died will have the chance to be resurrected and live forever in a paradise earth because they died faithful to Jehovah. Another test of faith was when they were tempted to deny Jehovah and offered relief by doing so.

Did the Allies in fact "help ignite World War 2 in Europe" as the question assumes? Britain had given an assurance to Poland in March 1939 that if it was attacked Britain would come to its aid. France had an older alliance with Poland. Moreover, the British government did what it could in August 1939 to make it clear to Germany that this wasn't bluff.

Poland boundaries shifted west and north at defeated Germany expense, while east was annexed by Soviet Union.

Churchill first proposed this compromise at Tehran conference and demonstrated it on the map using three matches and napkin. Roosevelt and Stalin agreed and deal was struck. Great example how casually great leaders could decide fate of whole countries and millions of people.

German naval losses were heavier than their army losses in the invasion of Norway. Germany lost 10 destroyers three cruisers and their two pocket battle ships were badly damaged. The Allies lost one British aircraft carrier, one cruiser and nine destroyers.

Adolf Hitler represented the Nationalist Socialist German Workers' Party of Germany we all know as the NAZI party. He became the dictator of Germany. He served for 12 years before he committed suicide and led his country to complete ruin and was responsible for 50 million deaths. His reign was from 1933-1945. His membership in the party however started in 1919. The party ran from 1918 to 1945 (ended at the end of the war officially). If you want more information I have included a related link for you to see below.

The Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS surrendered at Stalingrad on February 2nd 1943. However, some loyal German troops either remained hiding of still fought with what they had left for a month prior to the German Surrender in February 1943.

I would think so. Probably some of them did from being there so long.
