The sign on the door says "Non Smokers" so by smoking you r dad is showing his resistance to the health nazis.

I speak German and drive a Honda, so where is the problem for me? Anyway, once Hitler died, corrupt senile seniors a la Brezhnev would have taken over.

Though most of my relatives were in the Heer, and one in the submarines (shudder), I think I would have picked the Luftwaffe. One of my uncles did, and died in April 1945 in the defense of Berlin. In the air, I think it would have been more of an individual fight, not the anonymous slaughter on the ...

When you loose a war, you loose support. What's new? But their army held together till May 15. They are many instances like that in history. Besides, had Adolf won in 1941, how many Britons would have supported Churchill? Enough Croats fought on. If I understand your reasoning, once support dips bel...

I won't agree with you that Stalin was wearing a white hat! And Roosevelt's alliance with that mass-murderer made any white hats in the West look pretty droopy and grey, since they enabled that regime to continue, not to speak of non-Communist mass-murderers like Edvard Benes enabled by FDR. By the ...

So whot? In that sense, all Eastern Bloc countries were puppet states! It being a puppet for the winner makes you free, and a puppet for the loser makes you puppet, then it's rather subjective. Burma in 1943 or Croatia (whose valliant little army surrendered only on May 15) were no more puppets than...

I don't know-a 100,000 men Reichswehr simply could not cope with a civil war--if the SPD had been equivoquating, then the Commies might have won in 1933. Poland would have been f...., first because as non-Communist, Stalin would certainly have "rectified" the boundaries concerning Danzig, ...

I took the test at
http://www.quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=194168&first=yes
but I keyed in what I know about my Opa, a colonel on the Eastern Front. Yet the result tells me we're Finns. Germans were humane, too. Perhaps the site does stereotype a little.

My fave is pan-fried beef liver with onions and a tart apple like Boskop. Alas, here in the US, I get the liver and the onions, but no boskop apples. When I was a kid, my mother often made "Hirnchen mit Nierchen"--Beef brains with kidneys. The brains were not French style (wobbly) but fine...

His family has a nice museum, and one can buy some art online, too. http://www.museum-arno-breker.org/ At the Museum Shop, look to the left and click on Arno Breker.The girls look nice, but in the current neo-victorian climate in the US, I don't feel I can put one of the greek-style maidens on my de...

Nemesis at Potsdam is more detailed, and has more pictures, often very awful ones. There is a fairly recent reprint of Nemesis by an English publisher, I think.

Though I am not twenty anylonger, I'm not an Opa yet--I took the name for my own Opa, who fought in Stalingrad.

But, at any age, I love young women.

Her mother Herlind Jentzsch was born 1928 in Danzig, from a Elbing family. One could search for Jentzsch from these two cities. Her father, from the article in Wikipedia, seems to have been cooperating well with the Communist regime, and enjoyed a number of economic privileges, such as trips abroad ...

But with the British telling the Polish govt in 1939 to stop negotiating over Danzig, was war not an option Hitler legitimately have? Countries do go to war over such things--the British themselves used to do so a lot. This book here is tangentially related to the question of why the war ended the w...
