WWII+and+the+Holocaust


 * Band of Brothers : Day of Days 4/11/11**

Even after all the things I've witnessed throughout the episode of Band of Brothers: Day of Days, my willingness to put my life on the line still have not faltered. It may just sound artificial - as if I'm trying to appear like a big tough guy - but it's something that I am not changing my opinion on. If nothing in my life takes off, I plan on joining the Marines and being in the front lines because of my values and promises. I made promises to many people that I care about that I'll do anything to protect them, even if it meant putting my life on the line; they were the things in my life that I put above everything - without them, I wouldn't be who I am today. If there was to be another WWII and Holocaust scenario to happen in the future, I will be one of the first people to enlist myself because I want to protect the people I love. Another part of my values is if others are willing to put their lives on the line to do it, that something is something I need, not want, to do if required of me. I'm not going to lie; I'm terrified of the idea of actually going to participate in actual gunfights, but if others are willing to do it with me and protect me as I protect them, then that fear will be overcome by courage by all of us, not by just myself. The night started with an unexpected rude awakening because of SS troopers ransacking all Jewish households and synagouges, especifically the one beneath them. After ransacking that synagouge, Morton's household was the next victim - no one was hurt the first visit, but the second visit involved the taking of Morton's father to Dachau. To unknown reasons, the father returned from Dachau after four months alive where he now lives in Miami Beach with his wife, his other son Hansi the chairman of the political science department at Queens College and himself an American writer well off with an American family. They still ring doorbells twice to this day. The blitzkrieg policy by Hitler was a war tactic of lightning fast invasion; hence the German translation of "Lightning War." Coordinating air support with armored mobilization, the German Blitzkrieg tactic shocked the enemy first with air raids followed immediately with armored invasion during the shock and chaos. Critical to the Blitzkrieg policy was air superiority and armored infantry; this allowed the branching of flexibility, simplicity, and intitative and surprise. To the Invasion of Poland in 1939, the first victim to the Blitzkrieg, the superior calvary unit of the Poland army was easily defeated by the armored infantry and air support by the German forces.

According to Der Anschluss, Hitler formed adiplomatic agreement with the rulers of Austria to form a union between the two nations despite the ban from the Treaty of Versailles and the armstices that ended WWI. The Reichstag agreed to the union as well as the German and Austrian people so there was little to no conflicts between the agreements. If Austria became German, then Hitler who was Austrian was then German, and was then part of the Ayran race.

Hitler slowly built his power on a legal basis by getting the support of the people to help him do whatever he asked of the state of Germany to do. When the Reichstag was burned down, he asked the people of Germany to help him punish those he thought were responsible; the Communists. Hitler had the support of the people and the government when the Enabling Act, the bill entitled “law for Terminating the Suffering of People and Nation,” was passed 441 to 94 in the Reichstag. This new law gave Hitler the power to do whatever he watned to punish those he saw as enemies of the state. This law meant that the Nazis had legal control of Germany cause Hitler now had the power to destroy the Weimar Republic legally and systematically.
