Germany in WW2

He was brought up by two parents that despised Jews, who then passed on that loathing to their son Adolf. While he did not originally set his life on exterminating the Jewish people, the hate he had been taught by his parents was a large part of his politics that he eagerly provided when a broken down Germany (after WWI) needed someone to blame. Yes in truth he was.

yes he did if you listen carefully to one of his speeches he says that he wants to meet him very much but he never got to!

World War 2

information about nazi practices had trickled out of Germany during the last year of the regime.it was only after the war defeat of Germany that the world came to know about the holocast horror.the ghetto inhabitants who just survived the holocast told the world about it .Anne Frank's diary is the best proof of the holocast.

Yes, but the American citizen must first apply for a fiancé/fiancee visa on the German citizen's behalf. This would be the I-129F petition. It would have to be approved before you can marry. This is if you plan to remain in the USA afterwards. For more info check out www.uscis.gov

Adolf Hitler wrote his own speeches

The attitude of the local population vis-a-vis the persecution and destruction of the Jews varied from zealous collaboration with the Nazis to active assistance to Jews. Thus, it is difficult to make generalizations. The situation also varied from country to country. In Eastern Europe and especially in Poland, Russia, and the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), there was much more knowledge of the "Final Solution" because it was implemented in those areas. Elsewhere, the local population had less information on the details of the "Final Solution."

In every country they occupied, with the exception of Denmark and Bulgaria, the Nazis found many locals who were willing to cooperate fully in the murder of the Jews. This was particularly true in Eastern Europe, where there was a long standing tradition of virulent antisemitism, and where various national groups, which had been under Soviet domination (Latvians, Lithuanians, and Ukrainians), fostered hopes that the Germans would restore their independence. In several countries in Europe, there were local fascist movements which allied themselves with the Nazis and participated in anti-Jewish actions; for example, the Iron Guard in Romania and the Arrow Guard in Slovakia. On the other hand, in every country in Europe, there were courageous individuals who risked their lives to save Jews. In several countries, there were groups which aided Jews, e.g. Joop Westerweel's group in the Netherlands, Zegota in Poland, and the Assisi underground in Italy.

Lots of people and cats out there would love to be leaders because:

*You get to control and demand other cats (warriors, deputies, queens, kits, elders, etc.)to do things.

*Being leader means you represent your Clan.

*Cats and people trust you.

*You get absolute power over everyone.

*You get nine lives, which means you get to die nine times.

However, if you are a leader, don't abuse your power. Also keep in mind that being a leader means you have to take responsibility for a lot of things.

With great power comes great responsibility.

The last major German offensive was the Battle of the Bulge, when the Germans attacked in the Ardennes Forest on Dec 16th, 1944. The German had been secretly planning for this operation since Sept and stripped vital units from the east and Italy to execute this offensive. Only a few generals knew of this plan until Hitler called the military leaders and informed them of his plan to divide the Americans and British by seizing Antwerp, Belgium. They were astonished. The state of the German army and airforce was far weaker than in 1940, when they invaded the west and conquered everyone they invaded including the French. The generals were particularly concerned about having elite forces being withdrawn from Russia to the west, especially knowing that the Soviets were planning on a major winter offensive in Jan 1945. The Germans were fortunate for the first few days of the offensive, to take advant-

age of poor weather which ground the Allied Air Force. But it was inevitable, given the huge superiority in men and weapons, that the Allies would smash the German advance especially when the weather improved. The Germans lost over 150,000 men and most of their tanks and artillery. A majority of their tanks were destoyed because they ran out of fuel! The Allies could easily afford their losses, but for Germany, it was a disaster! By that time of the war, the Hitler Youth were being called up to fight on the front and many of the prisoners were young boys under the age of 15! I lived in Germany many years ago, and one of things that you see everywhere, is the large number of widows that travel in groups, etc... It was a very common sight. That is the reason why Germany is so strongly pacifist and are so committed to democracy and peace!

The Islamic Empires that had Caliphs were conquered by those with sultans, emirs, and emperors.

They were called allies. The USA, USSR and United Kingdom were called the BIG THREE.

There were many causes of death in concentration camps. When they first entered a camp some were shot automatically. Of course there were the terrible torture devices ( gas chambers etc.) There were also many many diseases that spread around. ( Example: typhus, which Anne Frank died from) due to the terrible conditions and uncleanliness it was easier to spread. Starvation and exhaustion were other causes.

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain foolishly believed that Adolf Hitler would leave Britain alone if they signed a non-aggression pact. He was trying to save British lives. The French thought the same thing. Hitler's Anschluß referendum showed Hitler that Brits and French were "wimps" trying to appease Hitler. This was to the demise of the Brits and French after they signed the phony appeasement documents.

Well, they used common tactics seen throughout the entire 20th century, (most notably the Chinese civil war and America during the Vietnam war to raise support for the War against the NVA). The idea is that, if you tell someone enough lies again and again, they will eventually believe it. Hitler and the Nazi's repeated this and used the people's fear and humiliation to their advantage. The fear being communism, (many Jews were blamed for this) and the humiliation of the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty of Versailles was by many considered a huge humiliation, especially due to the nationalistic values at the time, and so if one blamed it on a certain group of people, they would be able to channel all that hatred into that one group, no matter how misleading or inaccurate it may be.

On September 13, 1944 the US troops reach the Siegfried Line in western Germany. They crossed that line and entered Germany. I have added a related link for you in case you want to read more about it. You can see the story of this crossing in the show the Last Days of World War II.

Adolf Hitler was an advocate of capitalism. On his route to power, he courted rich industrialists, who saw the theat of a militant communist movement in post 1st world war Germany as a threat to their position, and so backed the fascist and and anti trade union movement created by Hitler.

Hitler openly admitted his use of the word 'socialist' (in the name of his national socialist movement) and the use of red in propaganda, was an attempt to tap into the support that left wing ideas had gained since the economic downfall prior to the Treaty of Versailles. Although an advocate of state intervention in the economy, Hitler was a friend of big business, and his suppression of communists, socialists and trade unionists in seeking to break the organised labour movement, was proof of this.

In conclusion, fascism was merely an extension of the capitalist system. Rather than see Germany move towards socialism, big business supported Hitler as the lesser of two evils. Under fascism, they could maintain their position. Communists were the first to suffer from this opportunism, and many were killed in the concentration camps, alongside the Jews, gypsies and other minorities.

During the early nineteenth century, Prussia was the only German state that could match the power and influence of the Austrian Empire. They were comparable in terms of size, population and wealth. Austria opposed the idea of German unification as it saw this as a threat to its own empire. Although they were a minority, there was a significant percentage of German-speakers in the empire. If they broke away to join a unified Germany, Austria would be smaller and weaker. To this end, Prussia and Austria were rivals.

Almost every kind of people besides "Aryans" (Germans, but also Scandinavians, English, Dutch, and some French) were considered inferior. However, besides Jews, the Nazis in particular hated Slavs- Polish, Russians, Serbs, Bosnians, Ukrainians, etc. This is a big part of the reason why Nazi Germany invaded Poland and the Soviet Union- the Nazis wanted to kill or enslave the Slavs, and settle "Aryans" in their lands.

To gain air superiority so they could carry on bombing London until it was weak enough to attack without much defence.
