The World At War - Second Segment - Episode 1

Haha! How could the Americans believe Cheney and Bush?!

It's basically the same thing. Only it's much easier to make a statement like this 60 years later..

Berlin turned in city of R**e when the Russians arrived.

Revenge is for suckers. I think the Germans have learned their lesson. The Treaty of Versailles was a bed of roses compared to 1945.

I've been to Germany/Europe. It was via the AF in late '82 thru mid to late '85.

I've been to Hitler's "Eagle's Nest' in Obersalzburg/Berchedesgaden. I've experianced the Auschwitz, Dachau and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. I've seen The Maginot Line; been to Normady, Carentan, Eindhoven and even at Oradour-Sur-Glane which was the memorial/town of which they speak of in the opening minutes of this film series.

To see history is to live history...

Cheers!!

According to the memoirs of Albert Speer, Braun never slept in the same room as Hitler and had her own bedrooms at the Berghof, in Hitler's Berlin residence and in the Berlin bunker..."

...After Braun's recovery Hitler became more committed to her and arranged for the substantial royalties from widely published and popular photographs of him taken by Hoffmann's photo studio to pay for a villa in a Munich suburb. This income also provided her with a Mercedes, a chauffeur and a maid. Braun's sister Gretl moved in with her. ... Braun became a fixture in Hitler's life by attempting suicide less than a year after Geli Raubal's death and Hitler wished to avoid any further scandal.

...Braun was unaware that Raubal was a rival for Hitler's affections until after Raubal committed suicide. Meanwhile Hitler was seeing other women such as actress Renate Müller, whose early death was also termed a suicide. Eva Braun first attempted suicide in 1932 at the age of 20 by shooting herself in the neck. She attempted suicide a second time in 1935 by taking an overdose of sleeping pills...

Only Eva Braun knows for sure... From the Wiki: "Hitler saw more of Braun after the apparent 1931 suicide of his half sister Angela's daughter Geli Raubal, with whom he may have been intimate. The circumstances of Raubal's death in Munich have never been confirmed. Some historians suggest she killed herself because she was distraught over her relationship with Hitler or his relationship with Braun, while others have speculated Hitler played a more direct role in the death of his niece...

actually yea there were reports that he was gay, I wudnt be surprised

oh!!! all you hill billies may think Adolf is a great person---he is nothing more than a confused H**o sexual!!!

180 years ago the carol "Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht" was heard for the first time in a village church in Oberndorf, Austria. The congregation at that Midnight Mass in St. Nicholas Church listened as the voices of the assistant pastor, Fr. Joseph Mohr, and the choir director, Franz Xaver Gruber, rang through the church to the accompaniment of Fr. Mohr's guitar. On each of the six verses, the choir repeated the last two lines in four-part harmony.

it was silent night holy night, the normal carol.

when the christmas part came up my teacher said "Hey look thier singing "Christmas with the Nazis!" Hitler was a true brainwasher

His shouts were to symbolize srength, which has an influence on people's psyche, same as the "homosexual" handmove: its purpose was to create a feeling of community, same as the greet "Heil Hitler", of course Hitler was bad, but he thought well of what he was doing (most times), but basically he was not stupid.

Hitler was also very keen on a certain type and make of microphone. He liked the tone it give his voice.

Frank Sinatra used the same make and type when singing, I got to say I prefer listing to old blue eyes than that odious little Austrian.
