Germany in WW2

People discriminate out of ignorance and Selfishness and that they don't think about how it would make other people feel also to make them feels better

When you look at what a human resources person does for such a job interview--it is considered a science / branch of psychology / psychoanalysis / people skills (not ignorance). Many such professionals are trained in this particular field of endeavor. Entire companies involved in management consulting or job placement agencies perform these duties to screen applicants prior to them being sent to the client for their further consideration so that the time of the client is not wasted weeding out "the undesirables."

Unqualified, or inexperienced, or over qualified, or over experienced, or experience in a field of expertise that is not close enough to that required for the job, or bad fit due to personality conflicts or conflicting beliefs or politics or personal styles of conduct, or poor judgment, criminal record for a high security position, dresses inappropriately for a very high paying client liaison position, lives too far away and does not have a vehicle to insure that they arrive at work on time, unwilling to do some particular element of the job, poor sense of humor, behavior inappropriate for the situation, unprofessional attitude, too sensitive, too abusive, too uncaring, or any number of choosy details that might eliminate someone from consideration from being hired by the organization with the job opening.

Some people act as though friends and acquaintances are job applicants and may go through a long list of selection criteria before getting on a short list of those who would be "best friends."

Rich and wealthy people have few needs. Their requirements of potential friends is therefore apt to be highly restrictive to those whose peer interests and contacts are useful to the others in this exclusive group. Few people deal in corporate take-overs, liquidations, buying rare art works, selecting and wearing high fashion designer apparel, are close acquaintances with Dr. Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, the Queen of England, and Lord Evelyn Rothschild, or other wealthy person's pursuits or interests.

The Spanish government was a fellow Fascist regime which had come to power thanks to German aid during the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s. Franco decided not to come into the war on Germany's side but remained a friendly neutral. Portugal was of no strategic importance and besides, Spain lay between it and German controlled territory. The Swedes were nordics against whom Hitler had no racial emnity, control of their territory was not strategicaly important (unlike Norway) and, as a neutral, they provided a buffer between German and Soviet forces in Scandinavia. The Swiss were also a Germanic people whose neutrality made it difficult for an allied thrust up the Italian peninsula to reach Germany, beside which they could be expected to fight very hard and their mojntainous territory would be difficult indeed to attack.

They didn't make any attempts to invade Sweden, but they had planned to do so.

The reason why they didn't attack is simple, they needed their troops elsewhere.

Spain had just gone through a bloody Civil War that lasted three years. The Spanish army was combat experienced, Spain was a military state still, and Franco had re-enforced the Spanish French border. The Pyrenees mountains also acted as a natural defense. Franco also supplied Hitler with Iron and Steel and to some extent troops. Mainly some 40,000 volunteers know as the Spanish Blue Division, who fought on the Eastern front up until 1942.

The Allied Forces were not always able to withstand German assaults but they often did because they were well led, well supplied and they used ingenuity to find ways to conquer the Germans in many battles. My favorite solution they came up with was taking German metal blockades from the Normandy beaches and transforming them into pointed plow apparatuses for the tanks. They were able to crash through the hedgerows in France by doing that. Brilliant!

The Allies 'withstood' German assaults simply because there was more allied troops than axis troops - and over time the Germans were unable to replace their losses. Case to points - the Germans on average fielded 250 divisions on any given year, versus the Allied's average 517 divisions. However, because the Germans were better trained and often had the element of surprise on their side, they were able to win spectacular victories during the first two years of the war. However, after two major setbacks in Russia in 1942 and 1943 where they lost over a million men and thousands of tanks and planes, their army was shattered - and the Germans simply could not muster enough forces to defend their territorial gain, let alone continue the offensive. So a German defeat was inevitable in the end.

In Normandy, a combination of Hitler's meddling with Germany's battle strategy and lower quality troops (most of their veteran units were fighting in Russia) contributed to an eventual Allied victory there. The German's last desperate push through the Ardennes in 1944 failed due to lack of fuel, poor logistics, lack of air cover (most of their air force was destroyed in Russia) and once again, manpower. In the end, the incessant British and US bombing raids which destroyed its industry, and the approaching allied armies on three fronts was simply too much for the German's rapidly shrinking military to bear, and her defenses simply collapsed by 1945.

So yes, the Allied troops may have been reasonably well-led and well supplied - but I think the main reason why they won in the end is because the Germans were outnumbered.

Answer 1

At their most basic, laws are what make us civilised and separate us from animals - whether we agree with all of them, none of them or some of them, they provide guidelines and a framework within which we can live our lives without infringing on the rights of others and ourselves. For example, a law against murder upholds the right we should all have to live and enjoy our lives; a law against theft gives us the right to own our possessions without them being taken away; a law against rape gives us the right to be in control of our own sexuality and to choose with whom we have sexual relations.

Jewish law goes a step further than secular law in forming a framework that guides us in every step of our day-to-day lives and, if followed, makes it second nature to act in a way that the religiously observant view as favourable in G-d's eyes. In some cases, the reasons for Jewish laws are not even known, as is the case with the laws of Kashrut which decide which foods are and are not kosher. Even though some of them seem odd and anachronistic, millions of religious Jews nevertheless abide by them because they believe that they demonstrate the way in which G-d wants his chosen people to live. Non-religious Jews commonly follow Jewish law, including Kashrut, too because over the thousands of years that Jews have existed the framework has been instrumental in shaping who Jews are. Many Jews, religious or otherwise, feel very proud to be a part of a people that despite widespread prejudice and attempted extermination continues to survive and has been responsible for what many people, Jewish and non-Jewish, see as more than their fair share of contributions to human knowledge, ethics and welfare; and so Jewish law remains of crucial importance even to many who no longer believe in the traditional concept of G-d.

Answer 2

One the main differences between Jewish religious law and secular law is that secular law assumes that we can only hold humans to the least common denominator and prevent indecency, while Jewish religious law holds that every person should strive to ennoble their character by holding people to higher standards. The Jewish law serves as a guideline to grow and develop in a way reflective of the Divine Nature in all of us. This pathway and connection to God is what Jews cherish in the law. Because the law is given by god and thus sacred. A bit of the jewish laws found its way into the christian bible - book of moses.
