Man[goes] to ________: Man[goes] to Germany

Heute besuchen wir Deutschland. Wunderbar!

(German for: Today we visit Germany. Wonderful!)

Why don't we start off with a meme (Ich habe es selbst gemacht.)

You didn't see that coming did you! Did you!

Such a clear depiction of the Nazi regime.

However, this week's post is dedicated not related to persecution of the Jews nor the war itself, but the destruction of non-German and anti-Nazi books.

You can check out the specific details of the books that the Nazis burned (according to the Nazis) in sites like Wikipedia.

More than the Nazis, it was the students of more than 400 universities that burned around 25,000 volumes in the square at the State Opera, Berlin. If you think about it comparatively, this event is not so bad or at least not the worst. There are lot of restrictions in China, North Korea, and a few other nations. The Soviets placed more restrictions and burned books.

But I will say Hitler was a sort of hypocrite. Some of his favorite books were burned.

Going back to the students, this event really showed that the people would listen to the Nazis. Hitler would actually set many similar tests to see if the people would listen to him. Kinda smart eh! These tests allowed him to gradually increase grip around Germany.

Sometimes I wish I could be in Hitler's position. He had such a good position. And what did he do! Persecute the Jews and destroy a country because of the ideological with Stalin. I will talk about this in a later post. The psychological war between the world leaders in WW2 was a big part that is not often discussed.

Also, Trump should be really careful of what he says. I mean like I don't like him (except for the fact that he is a big meme) or hate him, but seriously!
