What land did Hitler want to take over?
If you are looking to rekindle a little romance between you and your partner, then you may want to consider starting in the bedroom. Taking out all distractions that take the focus off one another and adding in romantic touches, will go a long way in getting your relationship back on track.
Make a tech free zone. As hard as this step may be for you, it will pay off big in other ways. Unplug the television, the game console and hide the remote. Watching TV and playing video games is one of the biggest time suckers when it comes to taking our attention off those we love. Forget channel surfing and set your attention on your partner. Another time waster is mindlessly surfing the Web, so take it to the other room before temptation strikes. Soft, mood music bodes well when stoking the romance fire, so any music device can stay.
Use scents generously.Aromatherapy candles and scented oils in heady scents of lavender, vanilla, ylang ylang, oranges and jasmine can really get you feeling amorous. It is hard to resist the romantic ambiance generated by the lovely scent and warm glow of a good candle. Place candles atop tables, in candle holders, votives and large candelabras. Besides the scent, the glow gives a luminous quality to the skin and eyes. Add fresh flowers in vases close to the bed for a natural fragrance.
Make it oh, so comfortable. Invest in luxury linens like 600 count Egyptian sheets, a super thick mattress pad made of down, and a silk or velvet comforter. Think about purchasing a new pillow top or memory foam mattress for those indulgent Sunday mornings in bed. Add in down pillows in different textures and colors. Hang drapes with black out lining at all windows to keep light out for when you want to sleep in together.
With all of the stress and sensory overload we face on a daily basis, it will take a concerted effort to create a place where you both can escape and shut the world out. Design a romantic room together and make sure to keep it just for yourselves; you’ll be happier for it.

What was the punishment for Jews that did not wear arm band during World War 2?
Answer 1
by getting tricked into a shower, when they actually was in a gas chamber being killed.
Answer 2
Jews were not "punished" during World War II. Punishment requires initial malicious or heinous activity on the part of the punished person and the punishment itself merited as a state response to such illegal actions. Jews performed no illegal actions, they were attacked, harassed, massacred, and annihilated. This is not punishment.
Some of the violence and indecency perpetrated by Nazis against Jews includes: forcing them into overcrowded ghettos, starving them, beating them, deniying them life-saving medical treatment, confiscating their belongings, experimenting on them as if they were animals, working them as slaves for long periods of time, shooting them in ditches and mass graves, stripping them of their clothes, sending them to gas showers to be poisoned to death, and having their bodies burned in direct contravention of Jewish burial practice.

Germany signed a Non-Aggression act with The Russia Federation, or Russia. The act meant that the two countries would never fight or partake in war against each other. However it was violated by Germany when they attacked Russia in World War II.
Were Jews the only ones in the concentration camps?
No. Well, it was at first, but as Hitler progressed he sent many more people to camps. (Disabled, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Jews, Communists, Jehovah's Witnesses and a incredible amount more.)
He did all this because Hitler thought they were not perfect, and Hitler wanted a perfect Germany.
What was the name of the alliance between Mussolini and Hitler?
The alliance between Hitler, Mussolini, and Kurusu - Japan's foreign ambassador - was formed on September 27, 1940. It came to be known as the Tripartite (German; Literally; "Three Party") Pact.
Other names included were:
Tripartite Alliance

Why did the US join the war against the Nazi's?
There really wasn't much choice. After Pearl Harbor was bombed the US declared war on Japan and as a result Germany, who was an ally of Japan, declared war on US. We would have gotten involved anyway because the goal of Germany was world domination. The plan was beat England and then invade the US.
Why was it so important for women to have jobs in world war 2?
During WW2 most of the fit men from the countries at war had to leave their jobs when they were sent to fight as soldiers. That left only young boys, those rejected by the armed forces on fitness or medical grounds, old men and women to fill the jobs they left. In the UK during WW2, one man in every ten men called up to serve their country was sent to work in the coalmines rather than the armed forces, a vital job during the war.

Montgomery commanded the British 8th Army, operating from Egypt and Libya as the Germans in North Africa were squeezed into Tunisia and eventually forced to surrender. There were British commonwealth troops under his command, but no Americans. At the other end of North Africa the Operation Torch landings of November 8, 1942 put ashore a force of American and British troops. This force was under the command of Dwight Eisenhower, an American general (and later the 34th president). Eisenhower was also Supreme Allied Commander Mediterranean, which meant that in theory at least, it was Eisenhower, and not Montgomery, who led the Allied forces to victory over the Axis troops in North Africa. Montgomery had not been the first choice to go in as a replacement in commanding the 8th Army, but the chosen officer died in a plane crash on the way to assume the command, so Montgomery was sent in. Montgomery did win a victory at El Alamein, which was in fact the first British victory of the war. Montgomery refused to launch this attack until he was absolutely certain that he outnumbered his opponent in every category, from crackers to cannon, as well as men, tanks and trucks, by a three to one margin. He was greatly assisted in this by the inertia of his vastly overrated opponent, the German General Rommel, who first crawled six hundred miles out on a limb from this base of supplies, placing himself in a position where he was dependent on a single fragile six hundred mile long supply line running along the North Africa coast, and thus subject to interruption anywhere along that entire length, at a time when he had command of neither the sea or the air. Rommel then squatted in place and obligingly waited while Montgomery meticulously accumulated his edge in equipment and supplies, which made the British victory possible.
Nazi Germany conquered France along with Belgium and the Netherlands after the Battle of france in May 1940.
How many men were there in the German wehrmact army in ww2?
Well, in WW1 due to treaty of Versailles, Germany were only allowed an army of 100,000 men! In a German platoon, I'd say around 30-70 men
All European democracies defaulted on their war debts because of the Great Depression. The communist ideology of the Soviet Union created a widespread fear that communism would spread throughout the world, especially during the hard economic times. This caused a general wariness about labor unions and a somewhat conservative bent in public opinion. As for Fascist Germany, Great Britain and France tried the policy of appeasement just before the breakout of the Second World War but that did not work out and both declared war on Germany. The United States remained very much isolationists until the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan in 1941.
Who started the black September attack?
From Wikipedia: The Black September Organization (BSO) was a Palestinian militant group, founded in 1970. It became notorious for the kidnap and murder of eleven Israeli athletes and officials, and the murder of a German policeman, during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.

What type of title did Adolf Hitler have?
Adolf Hitler had lots of titles, the first one he got was Corpral, he got given this title during WW1 because he risked his life by delivering messages. He was also given the title of Chancellor. Chancellor means that he was 2nd in charge of all of Germany while President Hindenburg was 1st in charge. However, when Hindenburg died, Adolf was 1st in charge and was given the title the Führer.

How did Hitler use radio to gain power?
The party's rise to power was rapid. Before the economic depression struck, the Nazis were practically unknown, winning only 3 percent of the vote to the Reichstag (German parliament) in elections in 1924. In the 1932 elections, the Nazis won 33 percent of the votes, more than any other party. In January 1933 Hitler was appointed chancellor, the head of the German government, and many Germans believed that they had found a savior for their nation
What German defenses did the Allies face on D-Day?
There were also inland defenses. The German army flooded fields (to drown paratroopers, this worked very well) they also had the natural defenses of the Normandy hedgerows, these proved weaknesses in the allied tanks and perfect for ambushes.
on the beaches there were AT mines, tank spikes and holes dug into the beach (a fully equipt soldier would drown in these, the british did this in fear of a German invasion)
These defenses were so good that even the preliminary bombardment by the air forces and naval forces couldn't dislodge the defenders as planned
ANSWERSpecifically, the defence of the Normandy coast was provided by the German 7th Army and the 5th Army located around Caen. The surf line was ridden with all sorts of contraptions such as wooden poles with naval mines on top, X shaped iron hedges, "Belgian gates" (iron A frames meant to stop landing craft), AT and anti-personnel mines and barbed wire.The overhangs were indeed defended from concrete bunkers and machine-gun nests of which many had survived the initial air and naval bombardment, especially on the American landing beaches, and further inland there were flooded marshes and artillery positions.
One particular defence was 'Rommels Asparagus', spikes designed to impale paratroops.
Why did the Nazis dislike Jewish people enough to order the holocaust?
At the end of the first World War, the Allies forced the Germans to sign a peace treaty that many people (the US, for one) thought would cripple any chance of Germany's economic recovery and would destroy its political life.
That is exactly what happened, and the Germans - who had also trouble accepting that they had been beaten fair and square in the war - went looking for scapegoats for their defeat and for their economic and social problems. Pamphlet writers came up with the "answer": the problems were the result of an Allied-Jewish 'conspiracy' to keep Germany down: Jewish bankers and industrialists in America and elsewhere had conspired (they wrote) to make the World War 1 Peace Treaty as harsh as it was, and now they were making a fortune bleeding Germany dry.
Although this was nonsense, many right wing Germans chose to believe this, including the right wing parties such as the Nazi party. The result was that Hitler pledged to 'remove' the Jews from German society. For years he toyed with the idea to move them to other lands - Madagascar was a long-time favorite - but when he discovered that this would be impractical, he decided that killing them off must be the solution.
What European countries did Hitler control before his defeat in 1945?
By 1945, none whatsoever. A toehold was still retained in Denmark at the beginning of the year, but ALL REAL POWER HAD GONE. Germany controled almost all of Europe, he already had Czechoslavakia, Slovakia before the war which was against the Treaty of Versilles. Hitler occupied France, Belgium, Poland, Holland, Netherlands, Norway, Italy, Austria.
