Reserve Police Battalion Police Battalion 101
1,616 words
The men of Reserve Police Battalion 101 were just
ordinary men, from a variety of backgrounds,
education, and age. It would appear that they were
not selected by any force other than random
chance. Their backgrounds and upbringing, however,
did little to prepare these men for the horrors
they were to witness and participate in. The group
was made up of both citizens and career policemen.
Major Wilhelm Trapp, a career policeman and World
War I veteran headed the battalion. Trapp joined
the Nazi p...

Adolf Hitler Nazi Movement
1,008 words
The Nazi consolidation of power was a gradual
process that took place in many steps and was due
to many factors, although a great deal happened in
the first few months of Hitler's rule. However,
the purge of the SA in June 1934 was a major
turning point as it tremendously increased
Hitler's power over the state. By the time Adolf
Hitler was elected as Chancellor of Germany in
January 1933, the consolidation of power was not
having the desired effect. Hitler immediately
called another election, a...

Forced To Live Oscar Schindler
1,009 words
All throughout history, the Jewish people have
been unjustly persecuted. Anti-Semitism has
existed as long as the Jewish people have. Even in
ancient times, the Jews were persecuted mainly
because of their religious beliefs. Jews claim
that they are Gods Chosen People and this has led
to misunderstanding between Jews and Gentiles
(non-Jewish people). Some gentiles believe that
this claim meant Jews felt they were better than
other people, thus fostering hatred. Others were
wary of the Jews becau...

Spanish Civil War World War Ii
2,008 words
Many historians have traced the causes of World
War II to problems left unsolved by World War I
(1914 - 1918). World War I and the treaties that
ended it also created new political and economic
problems. Forceful leaders in several countries
took advantage of these problems to seize power.
The desire of dictators in Germany, Italy, and
Japan to conquer additional territory brought them
into conflict with the democratic nations. After
World War I ended, representatives of the
victorious nations m...

positive response? Would it bring a negative
response? When one thinks of 'propaganda' in
association with the Holocaust, what comes to
mind? A positive response or a negative response?
Most likely a negative response. Why is
'propaganda' any different from what any political
party or regime does, namely to disseminate its
views? Is 'propaganda's imply the name we give to
views which we do not like or which we think to be
untrue? And finally, wa...

World War One Adolf Hitler

someone does on a battlefield or a weapon he or
she makes. Strategy must be considered on many
different planes. There are many different
strategies that lead up to the tactics on the
battlefield, diplomatic tactics, propaganda
tactics, and a host of others that must be taken
into account before the war is even began. Hitler

his hands on without directly declaring war on any
nations. Hitler knew not t...

Money To Buy Oskar Schindler

Description: This film depicts the heroic actions
of Oskar Schindler, a German war profiteer who,
because of his fundamental humanity and great
courage, saved more than 1, 100 Jews from death in
the Holocaust. The film is based on an exceptional
novel, Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally. The
word novel has been applied to this book only
because the dialogue and certain details are
fictional. Mr. Keneally based the book closely on
events reported to him by the Schindlerjuden,
people whose lives ...

cannot be restricted to one specific time period
or one specific event the source of many Nazi
ideologies are found before WWI. Many pre-war
conditions (but especially the gradual collapse of
liberalism, of which I will write later) helped to
prepare the public psyche for National Socialist
policies. Equally, I disagree with Historians who,

World War Ii Great Britain And France

The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler.
The simple mention of his name conjures up
memories of total war, death, and destruction on
an unprecedented scale, and always the deaths of
millions of Jews and other undesirables in the
Holocaust. How did this happen? How was it
possible that a failed artist could rebuild
Germany in just six years, challenge the world to
mortal combat, and nearly win? He simply possessed
what few other politicians of his day had, he was

the twentieth century and in particular the era of
the Second World War as a basis for her study. The
