The Spartacist Uprising - History in an Hour

The brilliant "History in an Hour" looks at the lives and deaths of the Spartacist leaders, Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg HERE
In Berlin on 15 January, 1919, an un-named man was delivered to a morgue with gunshot wounds. That same night a woman was hit with the butt of a rifle, before being shot in the back of the head. Her body was then thrown into a nearby canal. These two acts of violence were neither mindless nor random. Rather, these two murders were fundamentally linked. The man and woman in question were Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg and together they had led the Spartacist Uprising, an attempt to overthrow the post-war government and begin a socialist revolution in Germany.

Nazi Germany in an Hour

An overview of Nazi Germnay from Versailles to Hitler's bunker. A good overview for 99p HERE

“And so it had all come to this. Did all this happen only so that a gang of wretched criminals could lay hands on the fatherland? Hatred grew in me, hatred for those responsible for this deed.”

The words are those of Adolf Hitler; the deed – Germany’s surrender in the First World War, and the wretched criminals – the politicians who had meekly accepted the surrender and the defeat of Germany.

Read about Hitler’s experience as a soldier during World War One, the Nazi Party’s climb to power, the elimination of opponents and the Weimar constitution.

Learn about life in Nazi Germany, for women, the family, the Jews, and the use of state control, propaganda and security. See how Hitler manipulated foreign policy to achieve his aims, and how he brought the world into war.

This, in an hour, is Nazi Germany…

Hitler and the Volkswagen

A Nazi propaganda piece about the introduction of the Volkswagen as part of the KDF (Strength Through Joy) programme. A very interesting read.

"The enormous expansion of the German Autobahn system, which like the growth in automobile manufacturing came from the Führer’s orders, looked far into the future. Both projects go along with each other, and today hardly anyone does not cheerfully support Adolf Hitler’s work in these areas. The Führer’s will that the entire people should benefit from their common labors has repeatedly shown itself in recent years. It was only natural that it was always close to Hitler’s heart that this also include those with limited incomes. At the automobile exhibitions during the first years after the takeover of power, he so clearly expressed his wish for a Volkswagen that the automobile industry had to consider it an order or a commission. As is known, in recent years the German automobile industry was barely able to produce enough of its own models in a reasonably timely fashion, even when fully using all its labor, plants, and machines."

German Children Playing at Arresting Communists and sending them to Concentration Camps in 1933

1/5/2013

A great find from an excellent site on Nazi propaganda. This piece describes German children playing at arresting Communists and sending the to concentration camps. Probably a mixture of propaganda and reality - terrifying none-the-less. A description from the site is given below. Click the link HERE for more.

The article from this link was published only ten weeks after Hitler's takeover. It describes Munich children playing a game based on the Nazi suppression of the Communist Party (KPD). In February 1933, the S.A. had taken over the KPD's Berlin headquarters, the Liebknechthaus, which the children have turned into a game. The children even establish a “concentration camp” for the captured “communists.” The article comes from Peter Fritzche's book Life and Death in Nazi Germany. Fritzsche thinks the photos were staged, although I suspect they were based on real activities, with a bit of help from the photographer (e.g., the nicely misspelled “Libknecht Haus” sign).
