How did the German military strategy of blitzkrieg attack the enemy?

Blitzkrieg is German for lightning and that was the idea behind the launching of its attacks. Strike fast and its all over. The world had never seen a highly mechanised and thereby highly mobile Army before. The many Panzer [tank] Divisions led the attacks at incredible speed, with well armed, well trained, troops in the rear. The Countries and States of Europe could not withstand the onslaught and fell quickly one by one.

Did France hate Germany in World War 2?

The French have hated Germany since Germany was united in a single nation by Bismarck in the 1860s. This development, threatening to French continental domination, so upset the French that they picked a fight with the new German nation, started a war, and promptly lost (the Franco-Prussian War). As part of the humiliating peace of that war the French had to give up to Germany the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. This really stuck in the French craw, and they burned for revenge for the next forty years, and for the recovery of the lost provinces.

In WWI Germany invaded France, the French could not expel them, and an entire generation of Frenchmen were slaughtered trying. Finally, with help from her Allies, the Germans were beaten, the lost provinces recovered, and Germany's face mashed into and scrubbed around in it, in the humiliating peace terms imposed on the Germans in the peace after THAT war.

And none of this was forgotten when, twenty years later, the French and Germans went into WWII. This time, the Germans, once they started an active campaign against France, completely conquered France in six weeks.

So for patriotic Frenchmen, the Germans were unspeakably horrible, but there they were, all over the country. The French formed a Resistance movement, in which French Communists were very prominent, acting out of solidarity with their Soviet Communist brothers, whom the Germans were slaughtering on the Eastern Front. This Resistance - also called "the Maquis", or the FFI (French Forces of the Interior) - did what they could to damage the German war effort, much like Iraqis, whom we call "insurgents", are doing to the US today. Sabotage, ambushes, and so on. "Sabotage", the word, actually comes from the wooden shoes, "sabots" worn by French peasants.

All that being said, nations are made up of individuals, and each individual had his or her own reaction to the occupying Germans. The patriots felt as outlined above. Many women decided to make the best of things, and started dating German soldiers (after France was liberated, these women had their heads publicly shaved by the Resistance fighters). The Germans set up a puppet government in France, manned by "collaborationists", headed by the ancient Field Marshal Petain, then in his 80s. hero of WWI. This government was based in Vichy, France, and is called the Vichy regime. Many Frenchmen detested it, but it was the official government of France, and a German ally. As the French government it controlled the colonies of France, such as Morocco and Algeria, where the US landed troops in November, 1942. We do not always remember that for the first three or four days after those landings US troops fought French troops, under the orders of Vichy, until the Frenchmen quit and came over to our side.

After the war, there were a large number of criminal trials in France of persons who had collaborated with the Germans, and who faced death sentences. Many were executed.

But there are right-wing fascists in every country, including the US today. Many of these felt about things just like the Nazis, and were happy to see the Nazis in France, and wanted to help the Nazis. There was an entire SS division of Frenchmen, the Charlemange Division, fighting for Germany on the Eastern Front.

Today the French like to remember the Resistance, and forget the Charlemange Division. The answer to your question is as complicated as millions of individuals, with their varying reactions to the situation, could possibly make it.

Why was Herod the Great hated by some Jewish people and tolerated by others?

A:

King Herod the Great was hated by the majority of Jews, not only because he was imposed on Judea by conquest, but was also a despised Idumean.

He sought to ingratiate himself with the Jews by worshipping their God while in Jerusalem, but ingratiated himself with the Romans by worshipping the pagan gods while in Caesaria. He rebuilt the Jerusalem temple, which did please many of the Jews.

In later years, the Jews sought to claim Herod as one of their own, because he had built the important coastal city of Caesaria. Although the majority of the Caesarian population was pagan, the Jews hoped that if the Roman emperor agreed to their claim on the city, based on Herod being acknowledged as a Jew, the city could be taken over as a Jewish city.

Answer:

Herod refurbished the Holy Temple at the advice of the Jewish sages (Talmud, Bava Batra 4a), but he also killed many Jewish people (ibid 3b).

First you gotta understand what is Blitzkrieg and what it means

Blitzkrieg means Lighting war

Blitzkrieg was used in campaigns from 1939-1941 where a force concentration of tanks, infantry, artillery, combat engineers and air power, concentrating overwhelming force at high speed to break through enemy lines, and, once the lines are broken, proceeding without regard to its flank. Through constant motion, the blitzkrieg attempts to keep its enemy off-balance, making it difficult to respond effectively at any given point before the front has already moved on.

So the Nazis started and continued the Blitzkrieg because, they knew that strategy was very effective and it worked from Invasion of Poland to Battle of france and eithen during Operation Barberossa (Invasion of the Soviet Union).

Why were fascist leaders in Italy and Germany able to come to power in the 1920's and 1930's?

Hitler and Mussolini were able to gain political power because of political/economic problems.

After WW1 Germany had to pay reparations for starting the war. France invaded a big industrial center of Germany. German workers went on strike and the government gave them money but created more marks(German $) in circulation causing inflation. In 1914 4.2 German marks = $1 in 1923 4.2 trillion marks = $1

Unemployment was also high and at one point 40% of German workforce did not have a job. Many turned to radical groups like the Nazis.

In Italy inflation and unemplyoment played a role as well. There was a fear of Communism rising to power in Italy. Mussolini was able to create a police(OVRA) that was able to keep Italy from falling into Communism. and Hitler appealed to the peoples sense of pride through slick speeches . he made groups such as the Hitler youth and he promised changr

Did Hitler use pseudoscience?

Why did the Nazi's take the shoes of their victims of the holocaust?

This was actually part of an overall scheme for financing the Holocaust. Otto Funk, the head of the Reichsbank, had worked out a scheme where all of the regular junk that people carried with them when they travelled to the concentration camps (eye-glasses, worn out shoes, battered suitcases, socks with holes in them, etc) would be collected and used as 'collateral' for loans that were issued to the SS for the various needs to make the Holocaust work (the railroads had to be paid, the guards had to be paid, the manufacturer of the Zycklon B poison gas had to be paid, the workmen who built the crematoriums had to be paid, etc). Most of the things collected were never intended to be used for anything (the dental gold would be recycled into new teeth, the gold is not the same quality as monetary gold), they just piled up in warehouses that were set up as make-shift 'vaults.'

This was very troubling for the American forces that were liberating Germany when they would find warehouses crammed full of scuffed-up baby shoes.

It depends on if you are referring to WW1 or WW2 U-boats. WW1 U-boats were fairly small and often called "Canoes" by their crews. In WW2 there were many different sizes of boats.

The Type IX was a larger, longer range boat with more torpedo tubes and a larger crew.

Each type also had different classes with different configurations and lengths. The Type VII boats were about 220 feet long. The Type IX boats ranged from 251 to 287 feet long depending on class.

How many people did Adolf Hitler kill because of his religious beliefs?

Almost none.

Six million people were killed because they were Jewish, but Hitler did not care if they believed or not. People were classified as Jewish if they belonged to their faith, or if their parents or grandparents did. Peoples of other faiths were also killed, namely priests and Jehovah's Witnesses, but this was because of what they did, or did not do, not because of what they believed.
