Germany

"The night of the Holy Sylvester, the last night of the year, has always been the night of fools and a funny good time. The saint of this day, Pope Sylvester I, according to legend is the man who healed from leprosy and baptized the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great.

Today, "ethnic German" usually refers to people who live outside of Germany, especially in Russia and Eastern Europe, whose ancestors came from Germany at some point. There are large communities of ethnic Germans in Russia, for instance. Generally, people only count as "ethnic Germans" if they have retained something of their German cultural and linguistic heritage and regard themselves as Germans. The citerion of self-identification as culturally German is extremely important. Most U.S. citizens of German origin are not"ethnic Germans"; it is essentially a European phenomenon as far as Germans are concerned.

The GDP of Germany is estimated $3.818 trillion dollars in 2008.

Germany was an ally to Japan so theyidn't bomb them. It is because the US declared war on Japan after Pearl Harbor that Germany declared war on the US. Germany backed Japan.

__

During WW1, they were not allies.With the exception of a number of battles between German and Japanese troops (mostly in German possessions in the Far East and the Siege of Tsingtao, China), there was very little contact between the two countries. Germany didn't manage to bomb Japan during WW1, and it was an ally in WW2.

During WWII, the Nazi plan was to euthanize the Jewish population, involuntarily - which really is better defined as mass murder. These, of course were judged to be illegal war crimes and prosecutions of many Nazi leaders felt to be responsible took place during the Nuremberg trials after the war ended.

No, Germany did not occupy Finland. Finland and Germany were brothers in arms during WW2. When Finland was forced to resign to the Soviet Union, one of the demands were that the Finns should throw out the remaining German troops in Finland. The Germans slowly retreated back to Norway in what is called the "Lapland War".

The biggest problem with dealing with the matter of the bombing of Germany is that it is judged against modern morals and standards of behaviour.

I am not in any way denying the fact that what happened in Dresden was horrific and appalling. I do deny that the men who undertook the mission have any crime to answer for.

The latest survey on how many died, done by a commission sponsored by the German Government found between 18 and 25,000 people died.

The bombing of an industrialised town from the air in an attempt to destroy its industry or cause such loss of morale amongst its inhabitants that they ceased to work was NOT a crime by the Rules of War in 1945. The bombing of Coventry, London and other British Cities in 1940 and 1941 was also NOT a War Crime.


In early 1945 the war was far from over. The Allies were still camped outside the borders of Germany, V2 rockets were still falling. The Allies had just fought the battle of the Bulge where the supposedly defeated Germans suddenly punched a huge hole in the Allied lines, German Rocket and Jet aircraft were coming off the production lines and proceeding to rip the hell out of the allied air fleets.
It was an operation undertaken due to many reasons.

1. A request from the Russians at the Yalta conference in February
1945. General Antonov "We want the Dresden railway junction bombed"
Meeting between the Chiefs of staff as reported by an interpreter. Records kept at the Public Records office in Kew

2. It was a German base of operations against Marshall Koniev`s left flank as he advanced into Germany. (See above)
Captured German High Command documents from Berlin in 1945 state that "Dresden is to be fortified as a military strong point, to be held at all costs." These statements are also backed up by decrypts from Ultra at Bletchley Park.

3. Munitions storage in the old Dresden Arsenal.

4. Troop reinforcement and transport centre shifting an average 28
troop trains through the marshaling yards every day. Intelligence from Russian and other sources stored in the Public Records office in Kew

5. Communications centre. Most of the telephone lines connecting
High Command to the Eastern front went through Dresden.

6. Quote from The Dresden Chamber of Commerce 1944. "The work rhythm of Dresden is determined by the needs of our army."

There were 127 factories in the Dresden Municipal area. The most
famous of these was Zeiss the celebrated camera and optics maker. In 1945 it was turning out Bomb aiming apparatus and Time fuses. (If you think the Dresden China Works making those lovely shepherdesses are more famous, they are actually made in Meisen 12Km down the River and always have been.)

A factory that previously made Typewriters and sewing machines was making Guns and ammunition

The Waffle and Marzipan machine manufacturer was producing torpedoes for the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe.

The arts and crafts workshops in the old town were using their woodworking skills to make the tail assemblies for V-1s.

Other factories were turning out such non warlike goods as Searchlights, Aircraft components, Field Telephones and 2 way radios.

"Anyone who knows Dresden only as a cultural city would be very surprised to be made aware of the extensive and versatile activity that make Dresden ONE OF THE FOREMOST INDUSTRIAL LOCATIONS OF THE REICH. (My Capitals)

Sir Arthur Harris? A Post war exponent of the bombing campaign?
Nope both wrong.
It comes from the Dresden City Council Yearbook of 1942.

The men who carried out these acts did so in the desire to make a world in which their descendants and countrymen, of whom I am one, could live in freedom from persecution and with a freedom to ask questions and form their own opinions. To those of you who feel it necessary to label them war criminals may I ask if you think that you could have asked a similar question under Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan?

Yeah! There are loads of places to snowboard in Germany Only one or two ski resorts don't snowboard as well as ski but otherwise they all do both. Just check out a website of a German ski resort they'll say. If you are deciding to snowboard in Germany you'll need loads of cash because Germany is really expensive!!

It is up to the individual but most people take their Christmas lights down New Year's Day if not before. If you mean left on during the holidays- it is up to the person. A lot of people leave them on until they go to bed.

No Liechtenstein only borders Austria and Switzerland

Supercomputers are the fastest, most powerful computers designed to tackle complex problems requiring vast amounts of computer time. Two types of supercomputer exist. One type has several extremely complex and expensive processors that carry out computations serially, one at a time. Performing billions of operations per second, they are being overshadowed by a second type called massively parallel supercomputing. This system has thousands of simple, inexpensive processors connected in parallel. A computational problem is divided into parts, with portions assigned simultaneously to various processors. The individual processors calculate subtotals and send them to a central processor for combining. The articles below provide information on supercomputers, development and history of the supercomputer.

we Jews face a life of people that still look at us different because what hittler did to us no one will ever forget and so people still treat us different because of it

Answer 2

the same issues everyone faces we are all different

Answer 3

Every new invention needs to be reviewed for possible halakhic ramifications. For example, do the benefits of a smartphone outweigh the risks.

Anti-Semitism is still very much alive; and observant Jews, with their kippah and/or hat, and possibly a beard and other signs of Jewishness, may be subject to attack.

In the workplace or school, traditional Jews have to find a way to be allowed a leave of absence on Jewish holidays. They also need to make arrangements for a kosher lunch.

Actually, nowadays Germany is in fourth position, after the US, Japan and China. The country has a large, well educated population.

Yes; Germany is currently ranked first in the world.

Nope, southern Europe would be like Italy, Greece, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, etc. and it is in central Europe. At its furthest extent, Southern Europe could include Bavaria (Southeast Germany) and parts of Southern France

The driving distance from Paris, France to Hanover, Germany is 476.97mi / 767.6km

From London, UK to Berlin, Germany, it is 577 miles, as the crow flies.

Germany did not have a prime minister in 1988, nor was it a single country. The premier of East Germany was Willi Soph. The president of West Germany was Richard von Weizsacker.

location is how far to travel and there natural resources climate is about farming and forests also crops the natural resources effect hoew the people work

It means that the porcelain was made between 1945 and about 1955 in the American Zone of Germany, probably in Bavaria.

Lebkuchen is similar to ginger bread, but much darker and very rich and moist.

It is first documented in Ulm which is not far from the "Black Forest"

then 100 years later in Nürnberg. despite this fact Nürnberg is considered the home of Lebkuchen.
