Holocaust Museum

I had alot of fun at the holocaust museum! Even though it was the seconed time I visited the museum, it has improved from the first time I went their. I learned alot on the holocaust, such as the jews fought in the world war 1 for the Germans, and how the germans would walk on the dead corpses in the shooting pits to suffocate the survivors. The part I liked most about the trip was the rail road car, it was cool to see a real life visual of what the germans used to transport jews.

paratroopers

The Paratroopers we saw in class were pretty dang BEAST! But i always wondered, what if the wind blew you in another direction and you were separated from your group? Id find a German kill him put on his clothes and become a spy and discreetly kill every German!

Beach Massacre

In saving private Ryan we watched the Americans invade Germany. It was a bloodbath! Right when the hatch opened they were already getting fired at  with no chance to react. I wonder what was going through their minds when riding to the shore. I know what i would be thinking... OMG IM DEAD!

Germanies corrupt Government!!!

While watching the Auschwitz video in world wars I was disturbed, I felt the same way with everything else I learned this week. First it was eugenics, then cruel experiments tested on people, then mercy-less killing at concentration camps. It's hard to comprehend why anyone would be able to kill hundreds of people and not have any regret. This may seem weird to me since I  grew up in a normal environment were the government didn't brain wash me at a young age, and to see the Nazis killing the innocent Jews made me really angry! But should I get angry at the German's for killing so many? I mean of course what they did was a terrible thing, but they were taught to hate the Jews through false propaganda, and killing was more common in their culture at the time. I believe this shows how much power Germany's government had over its people, Hitler was able to take an entire nation and brain wash them into hating the Jews just because Hitler never liked them. If an incident like this happened to America, and the government turned corrupt and tried manipulating us, would we be easily swayed like the German's were?

Eugenics is poison

If the master race was created, would that actually be "perfect"? What would that make the imperfect? Well to the German's they would be undesirable,  I now agree with the guy classifying eugenics with poison, pursuing perfection would only lead to corruption and inhumanity. It is impossible to create and keep consistent a perfect race, the idea of eugenics lead Germany to experiment on living people, most of the tests ended with the subject dead or in serious pain. The Germans also built euthanasia facilities that killed the undesirable with gas or lethal injection to prevent them from reproducing. Hitler had good intentions with eugenics, but the ways he tried achieving the perfect race were inhumane and brutal.

German's bad luck

It seems the Germans always end up in the worst weather condition's, like there is a weather curse on them. When invading Russia it pours so bad that the muddy ground is is so mucky that movement is impossible and to make matters worse the germans don't even have proper clothes for the winter. Maybe karma is getting back at Germany for betraying their ally Russia.

Hitler's going crazy.

Hitler is very hard to figure out, he helped Germany in many ways. He brought them out of a recession, he rebuilt there military, and he unified Germany. But he's killing his troops by telling them to keep moving forward even though there chance to succeed is nearly impossible. Hitler should have listened to his generals advice, but he seems to be blind.

Winter vs Germans

When the Germans were invading russia they encountered very harsh weather. Due to the weather, the Germans were taking many loses. Hitler didn't listen to the general's advice, he continued to send troops forward even though they were running low on supplies, and the troops weren't properly equipped for the cold weather. This concludes the Germans retreating and failing to invade Moscow.

Verdun!

The battle at Verdun must have been complete hell for the French. The Germans shot 1 artillery shell every 3 seconds for 10 hours straight. The French must have been scared, if i was in their position i would have pissed myself! They must have been really brave. To me this wasn't a battle it was more a massacre because the French couldn't even put up a fight.

Stealth Bomber!

I was flipping through channels on my T.V. then i caught a glimpse of a plane on the history channel. It was the stealth bomber, history channel explained that this plane was able to repel sonar waves making it undetectable by sonar. This plane proved itself to be very affective in operation desert storm, by keeping the pilot out of sonar view's making the plane nearly invisible. This reminds me of the U-boats that I learned about in class and how the stealthiness of the u-boat showed as a very good battle strategy.

SLUTan or sultan?

The Sultans make me lol. While their supposed to be leading a ENTIRE NATION they are off making babies and flying high. When you think of a leader you think of a caring responsible person or Abraham Lincoln. I don't think i can classify the Sultans as leaders more like irresponsible spoiled teenagers. I can also classify them as paranoid crazies who keep their beloved relatives in cages. I only wonder why the people didn't overthrow their mighty king? To me thats just ludicrous.

Armenian genocide.

I was surprised when i learned about the Armenian Genocide in class. I had no idea that it even existed, even though so many people were killed. To this day the Turkish empire says they had nothing to do with it too! This just makes me sick. At least the Germans got punished for the holocaust happening and had to pay the war fines.

Trench warfare

We learned about trench warfare in class a few days ago, it pretty much sounds like it sucked. All those young soldiers living in constant fear of randomly blowing from a artillery  shot while drowning in a mass of insects, rats and muddy crap. In America we complain about people clicking their pens or siblings playing their music too loud would not come close to compare to what the soldiers had to go through. They slept through gunshots and sometimes didn't even sleep for fear of enemy invasion. Not to mention the diseases and the lice infections they had to go through. The lifestyle these soldiers lived in gives me a different perspective of life and how lucky I am and the silly things that I shouldn't complain or other people complain about.

RAPE!

In class today we learned about the rape of Belgium. I actually thought Belgium was going to hold up in the forts, they looked pretty sturdy. Then Germany came along with big bertha leaving a huge O on my face. I bet the people of Belgium were just as surprised as i was. I also thought it was a dirty tactic to use gorilla warfare, but German's did keep there promise with the 10:1 ratio of Belgium civilians to German soldiers. This gave Belgium no other choice but to surrender. The killing of the civilians did backfire on Germany though, the media exaggerated the invasion of Belgium through the paper and flyers making the Germans look like blood thirsty barbarians. Even though the Germans won the fight with big guns and population, would the deadly weapon of exaggerated press overpower them and win in the end?

Naval team roll out!

World wars class today was pretty epic! I was surprised and proud that our country's military is so beast (thanks to our our naval power). It makes me feel very safe to live here, knowing that our military has us so well protected that the probability of invasion is close to none. The only thing that worries me is China! There economy is rising fast and who knows what they will do... or CAN do. Hopefully Obama keeps in good terms with em.

What i think about war. I think war is voilent and everyone should throw their guns into a space ship were they will be shipped to another planet and guns will be kept in concentration camps. Then the world will result in fighting with flufy pillows and the winner of the war would be determined by whoever can knit the most colorful vest.
Just playin I dont like war but it is a very intresting thing to research.
