Link: Fourth Reich Calling
One of the important tasks of the on-going project of Never Again for Anyone, including our own to take place in Berlin during the Holocaust's 70th anniversary, is to highlight the danger of a resurgence of violent far-right activity in Europe. As a German resident, I think the most notable example in recent times is undoubtedly the case of the National Socialist Underground (NSU). NSU is a terror cell that has killed ten people, including a police officer, and has also spearheaded bomb attacks and other criminal activity over the past twelve years.
NSU was composed of three core members: Uwe Mundlos, Uwe Böhnhardt and Beate Zschäpe. They were acquainted through the neo-Nazi scene in the town of Jena in the 1990s. NSU also had a network of helpers that has been variously estimated as having between ten and two hundred people. Some observers say that this may have included members of German police and intelligence services. This lacks proof, but it is undeniable that investigative bodies have seemed to make nothing but mistakes since NSU came to light.
NSU remained active throughout the 2000s, until November 2011 when, following their increasingly hopeless attempts to flee from a bank robbery they had just committed in Eisenach, Mundlos and Böhnhardt were found dead. Mundlos had shot Böhnhardt and then himself. Zschäpe responded by blowing up the house she had shared with them, and was arrested four days later by police after a short run. Her trial is currently on-going in Munich.
There are lots of questions here. Probably the most important is how they managed to escape the police for so long, or indeed any serious investigation. Why, for instance, did investigators choose to rule out the possibility for any racial motivation in the nine deaths committed by NSU? Why did they focus on Eastern and South-Eastern European "criminal gangs" instead? Why did it take them so long to even identify the three people behind it all?
Despite the fact that Mundlos, Böhnhardt and Zschäpe had been on the run with an arrest warrant hanging over their heads since 1998, relating to large amounts of explosives and bomb-making material found in a Jena garage, and there were suggestions of a racist motive from individual officers and victims' families, every attempt to push this line of investigation was thwarted. The threat of far-right violence was played down by the central investigators. The Parliamentary Committee for Enquiry recently concluded that intelligence services had been, "professionally speaking, blind in their right eye."
Add to this as yet unexplained details such as the "accidental" shredding of hundreds of pages of documents related to the NSU, seemingly just a few days after the group and their activities became public knowledge, and the mystery surrounding why an intelligence official known locally as "Little Adolf" logged out and left a Kassel internet cafe at almost exactly the same time as the young man working behind the counter was shot dead, and it is easy to see why rumours of official involvement in the group's activities refuse to go away.
What seems clear is that any analysis of the NSU cannot explain it away as the actions of a few rogue extremists. Rather, it must be seen as a representative of a deeper vein of racism, xenophobia, and far-right policies in German culture and society. The old saying "this is by no means a German problem" applies here, but there is a reason that the far-right has made strong gains in Germany's eastern "new states." It is tied to structural factors. Unfortunately, though, neo-Nazis are so strong in the East that many West Germans have begun attacking neo-Nazism as an Eastern problem that came with unification, rather than a social and economic issue.
In that vein, there is a clear atmospheric link between the NSU and the National Democratic Party. One acts violently on what the other instills more subtly, which broadly, can be said of much of conservative politics, even if it intends otherwise. These forms of irrational politics all operate on energy, in the end, and the NPD has not helped matters with its populist policy-making and determination to be a flag-bearer of the far-right.
In the small towns of the East, there is little hope of employment, social security or entry into West-dominated social elites, creating a feeling of "relative deprivation" that provides the ideal breeding ground for radicalisation. The movement's youthful face in the East makes it obvious why that movement is more likely to embrace violence. The protagonists of the NSU are currently the best known exemplars of this tendency, but are by no means the only ones.
The actions of the NSU, then, are the natural conclusion to several different trends within German society. They cannot be classified as "terrorists" and "extremists" before being hidden from view. German politicians, culture, and society should use the NSU as an opportunity to look in the mirror and wonder why racism is such a huge part of the German social fabric. Will they scoff at the idea, or become determined to collapse the hierarchy between white Germans and minorities?
How Germans react to NSU will shape much of future race relations in the country. In the spirit of this, Never Again for Anyone must be articulated as a rallying call, otherwise, it will become a lonely cry in the dark.

Link: The Nazi Anatomists
How the corpses of Hitler's victims are still haunting modern science—and American abortion politics.
In 1941, Charlotte Pommer graduated from medical school at the University of Berlin and went to work for Hermann Stieve, head of the school's Institute of Anatomy. The daughter of a bookseller, Pommer had grown up in Germany's capital city as Hitler rose to power. But she didn't appreciate what the Nazis meant for her chosen field until Dec. 22, 1942. What she saw in Stieve's laboratory that day changed the course of her life—and led her to a singular act of protest.
Stieve got his "material," as he called the bodies he used for research, from nearby Plötzensee Prison, where the courts sent defendants for execution after sentencing them to die. In the years following the war, Stieve would claim that he dissected the corpses of only "dangerous criminals." But on that day, Pommer saw in his laboratory the bodies of political dissidents. She recognized these people. She knew them.
On one table lay Libertas Schulze-Boysen, granddaughter of a Prussian prince. She'd been raised in the family castle, gone to finishing school in Switzerland, and worked as the Berlin press officer for the Hollywood studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She joined the Nazi Party in 1933. On a hunting party, she flirted with Hermann Göring, commander of the Luftwaffe, the German air force. But in 1937 Schulze-Boysen joined the resistance with her husband, Harro, a Luftwaffe lieutenant. They helped form a small rebel group the Nazis called the Red Orchestra. When Libertas started working for Hitler's movie empire in 1941, she gathered photos of atrocities from the front for a secret archive. Harro was transferred to Göring's command center and with other dissidents started passing to the Soviets detailed information about Hitler's plan to invade Russia. The Gestapo decoded their radio messages in 1942 and arrested Harro at the end of August. They came for Libertas eight days later. Both she and her husband were sentenced to death for espionage and treason.
Now Harro's body lay on another table in the lab. Pommer could see that he had been hanged and Libertas had been decapitated by guillotine. On a third table, Pommer identified Arvid Harnack, another member of the Red Orchestra who had been a key informant for the American Embassy as well as the Soviets. In the 1920s, Harnack had studied economics as a Rockefeller Fellow at the University of Wisconsin, where he wandered into a literature class by mistake and met a young American teaching assistant named Mildred Fish. They traded English and German lessons and got married on her brother's farm. After the couple moved to Germany, Mildred also helped the resistance effort by carrying messages and trailing her husband to meetings to make sure he wasn't being followed. They were caught in the same Gestapo operation that ensnared the Schulze-Boysens. "Can you remember Picnic Point, when we got engaged?" Arvid asked his wife in his final letter to her from prison. "And before that our first serious talk at lunch in a restaurant in State Street? That talk became my guiding star." At the time, Mildred was serving a six-year sentence for her part in the Red Orchestra. Before he was executed, Arvid wrote to his family about his joy that her life had been spared. But Hitler refused to accept the sentence, and Mildred, too, would be beheaded on his order two months later.*
"I was paralyzed," Pommer later wrote of the sight of the bodies. "I could hardly perform my task as an assistant to Professor Stieve, who did his scientific study as always with the greatest diligence. I could barely follow."
Pommer was 28. Libertas Schulze-Boysen was 29 when she died. In her last letter to her mother, she said she'd asked for her body to go to her family. "Don't fret about things that possibly could have been done, this or the other," she wrote. "If you can, bury me in a beautiful place amid sunny nature."
Pommer stopped working for Stieve—and left the field of anatomy—because of what she saw that day in his laboratory. She went on to help resist the Nazis herself, by hiding the child of a man who participated in the "July Plot" to assassinate Hitler in 1944. In the spring of 1945, just before the war's end, Pommer was herself sent to prison.
By that time, German anatomists had accepted the bodies of thousands of people killed by Hitler's regime. Beginning in 1933, all 31 anatomy departments in the territory the Third Reich occupied—including Poland, Austria, and the Czech Republic as well as Germany—accepted these corpses. "Charlotte Pommer is the only one we know of who left this work because of what she learned about the bodies," says Sabine Hildebrandt, a historian and anatomist at Harvard Medical School.
Unlike the research of Nazi scientists who became obsessed with racial typing and Aryan superiority, Stieve's work didn't end up in the dustbin of history. The tainted origins of this research—along with other studies and education that capitalized on the Nazi supply of human body parts—continue to haunt German and Austrian science, which is only now fully grappling with the implications. Some of the facts, amazingly, are still coming to light. And some German, Austrian, and Polish universities have yet to face up to the likely presence of the remains of Hitler's victims—their cell and bone and tissue—in university collections that still exist today.
This history matters for its own sake. It also matters for debates that remain unresolved—about how anatomists get bodies and what to do with research that is scientifically valuable but morally disturbing.
Then there's this eerie relevance: Stieve's work was the source of an explosive controversy in the 2012 U.S. elections. It's the basis for a claim that Republicans in Congress threw like a piece of dynamite into the abortion debate: The idea that women rarely or never get pregnant from rape.
To take a step back for a moment, in one sense, the use of executed prisoners for science isn't surprising. For centuries, anatomists around the globe struggled to find an adequate supply of bodies. The need was keen—without corpses, there could be no dissection for research and medical training. In France, the bodies of poor people who died in hospitals were used widely in the 1700s. An 1832 law in Britain permitted access to the unclaimed bodies of anyone who died in a prison or workhouse. In the United States, medical students robbed graves, often of African-Americans. ''In Baltimore the bodies of colored people exclusively are taken for dissection because the whites do not like it, and the colored people cannot resist,'' a British travel writer observed in 1838. When paupers were the target of body snatching, the practice was justified by their poverty. "Why would those who have made war on society or have been a burden to it be permitted to say what shall be done with their remains?" the Washington Post asked in an 1877 editorial. "Why should they not be compelled to be of some use after death, having failed to be of value to the world during life?"
Before Hitler, German anatomists had complained to the government for decades about the lack of supply. They had the right to claim the bodies of the executed, but few death sentences were carried out. That changed as the Nazi courts ordered dozens and then hundreds of civilian executions each year, for an estimated total of 12,000 to 16,000 from 1933 to 1945. (The 6 million who were killed in concentration camps are counted separately, as are the many millions more who were otherwise mass-murdered.) Plötzensee and other prisons delivered to anatomists a sudden abundance. In the mid-1930s, British anatomists described with envy the "valuable sources of material" their German counterparts had.
The "sources of material" included many people the Nazis sentenced to death for minor crimes, such as looting, and many convicted for political crimes that particularly incensed the regime, ranging from treason to the vague offense of "defeatism." The victims included political protesters like the Schulze-Boysens and the Harnacks, who would one day be seen as heroes. By refusing them graves, anatomists such as Stieve humiliated the victims' families and disturbed the peace of the dead. A few of these anatomists followed the Nazis further down their twisted path: They committed or acceded to acts of mass killing, in the name of science and from inside the halls of academe.

Link: The Münster Rebellion
Why the European Renaissance wasn't actually a very good time to be alive.
The man whose face is stamped on this 1535 silver medal is Jan van Leiden. In January 1536, van Leiden was tortured to death with two other men at a public square in Münster, a city in the German region of Westphalia. The city's officials and a throng of spectators watched as the three were pulled apart with searing hot tongs, one by one, until their agonies were ended with a thrust to the heart. But who was this Jan van Leiden, and why was he so violently and horribly executed?
Germany in the 16th century was a rough place. Martin Luther's protests against the corruption of the Church sparked a long and partly successful rebellion against the spiritual and temporal authority of Rome. They also sparked smaller movements that branched off of Lutheranism to pursue their own goals. One of the earliest of these offshoot movements was Anabaptism. This new Christian sect proposed that infant baptism was invalid and that, to be truly saved, Christians must be baptised as adults. Some Anabaptists also advocated for total equality between fellow Christians and even the total abolition of property and wealth. Naturally, the Church hated these innovations, but they had their hands full with the Lutherans and the Netherlands and northern Germany became hotbeds of Anabaptism.
Renaissance Europe was a mix of large kingdoms and small principalities, dukedoms and republics. One of these was the Prince-Bishopric of Münster, a constituent state of the Holy Roman Empire. While formally under the control of the Emperor, Münster was truly ruled by Prince-Bishop Franz von Waldeck, who was exactly what he sounded like: both the prince of a territory and a bishop of the Church. He wasn't the city's absolute ruler, however: Münster had an elected town council, unusual for a state in that period.
Initially, the population of Münster was composed of a mix of Catholics, Lutherans and Anabaptists. By 1532, however, that balance began to change. Bernard Rothmann, an Anabaptist preacher in the city, began to rail against the Catholic Church, while Bernard Knipperdolling, a wealthy merchant with Anabaptist sympathies, used his printing press to spread Rothmann's sermons far and wide. By 1533, the city had attracted two of what would become the century's most charismatic and dangerous men – Jan Matthys and Jan van Leiden. Matthys and van Leiden had traveled from their homes in the Netherlands to answer Rothmann's call for the establishment of a "New Jerusalem" in Münster: a perfect Christian society that would witness and be spared from the end of the world.
Ironically, their actions ended up bringing down deadly wrath upon Münster and its remaining inhabitants.
Matthys and his lieutenant van Leiden immediately took a considerable share of influence in the city's affairs through their connection to Rothmann, the firebrand preacher, and Knipperdolling, the respected councilman and merchant. Together, the four initiated a religious reign of terror. They first ran new elections to the Münster city council that packed the body with Anabaptists. Matthys then shockingly urged the council to put the town's spiritually unfit – meaning its Catholics and more moderate Protestants – to death. Knipperdolling managed to negotiate this sentence down to forced expulsion, and many of the city's old families were subsequently thrown out without their property or belongings. These remaining assets were transferred to Münster's new arrivals: thousands of destitute Anabaptists from the surrounding northern German and Dutch lands, attracted by Knipperdolling's continued printing and publishing of Rothmann's calls to action.
All of these happenings naturally attracted the attention of the Prince-Bishop of Münster. Waldeck, who had fled Münster ahead of the Anabaptist takeover, promptly gathered his forces, supplemented by mercenary troops, and laid siege to the city.
Meanwhile, Matthys and van Leiden began to organize the city's defense and stockpile its resources. Helpfully, Matthys claimed to regularly receive messages from God. These divine revelations included orders to put the "faithless" of Münster to death, orders that he and his men carried out swiftly. God also apparently ordered him to ride out of the city armed, with a few dozen followers, to meet the Prince-Bishop's thousands of troops in battle, because on Easter 1534 that's just what he did. Jan van Leiden inherited the spiritual leadership of Münster right after Matthys' death (cause: getting hacked to pieces by Franz von Waldeck's cavalry.)
Jan van Leiden, a.k.a. Jan Bockelson, was an interesting character. In addition to leadership over the fervently faithful Anabaptists of Münster, van Leiden also inherited Matthys' direct line to God – as well as his allegedly attractive wife Divara.
This new Jan was slightly different from the old one. Van Leiden first weirded out the people of Münster by running around town naked, supposedly in a divinely induced trance, and then he shocked his followers by announcing that God wanted Münster to adopt polygamy as a legal practice. Jan completed his master plan (assuming he had one) by having himself declared King of Münster, something that the severe Jan Matthys had never done. His Majesty dissolved the city's old government and created a royal court for himself composed of his inner circle of friends, including the two Bernards, Knipperdolling and Rothmann.
Despite his faults, van Leiden seemed to have been at least kind of competent, because his newly organized defensive military units, composed by the remaining citizens of Münster, successfully repelled two of the Prince-Bishop's direct assaults. The city was starving, however, and by mid-1535 its some of its people had had enough. Several deserters to the enemy's siege lines gave the Prince-Bishop enough information to realize that he had worn the city's inhabitants down. A third assault in late 1535 was successful, and the Prince-Bishop's men retook Münster after a bloody battle within the city's walls.
Many of the town's population were summarily executed, but the leaders of Münster's short-lived rebellion were captured alive to be questioned and later to be horrifically executed. Van Leiden, Knipperdolling and one Bernard Krechting suffered the officially sanctioned sentence of being ripped apart with coal-heated tongs for one hour each. Bernard Rothmann, the other ringleader of the Anabaptist rebellion, was not available for execution – after the last battle for Münster, he simply disappeared. Even if he had been killed in the fighting, we should probably consider him lucky that he didn't have to share the scaffold with his friends in January 1536.
As a final insult, the bodies of the now-dead Anabaptist leaders were shoved into iron cages that were then hauled to the top of Münster Cathedral, presumably there to serve as a reminder and a warning. The corpses have long since decayed and scattered, but the iron cages remain hanging from the steeple of the great church to this very day.
This bizarre chapter of history raises all kinds of issues. We're still not sure just how far King Jan of Münster believed what he told his people during his short reign – many of his actions suggest a desire for self-preservation that Jan Matthys, the man who rode against an army with a handful of citizen-soldiers, clearly didn't have.
But the short-lived experiment in Münster is about more than this uniquely strange character. It's also about the role that fanatical beliefs – religious or otherwise – can have on people. Münster was a relatively peaceful town before the arrival of the extremist Anabaptist preachers from Holland, and it was largely due to the influence of the Münsterites Hoffmann and Knipperdolling that they succeeded in overturning that peace and taking control of the city. Otherwise, they probably would have remained two obscure Dutch guys remembered only by hardcore Reformation historians. But they bought their fame at a great price. Thousands of Münsterites were killed, some by the extreme Anabaptists and some by the Prince-Bishop and his mercenary armies. Thousands more lost their homes and livelihoods. And the heads of the whole business lost their lives in an undignified, brutal and incredibly painful way.
Today's Anabaptist societies, most famously the Amish and the Mennonites, are entirely pacifist and spend their time farming, building furniture, having children and not using modern technology. Maybe living in obscurity isn't such a bad thing.
Münster's Anabaptist "coins" aren't coins at all. Many Anabaptists, including the Münster faction, didn't believe in money or personal ownership of property, so minting coins would have been pretty useless. Medals bearing the image of Jan van Leiden as king of the "New Jerusalem" were crafted purely for propaganda purposes. These medals were produced at a time when the quality of coins was on the rise: they were beginning to be produced on round planchets, as opposed to the irregular planchets common to medieval coins.
I'm not even sure how many of these things exist, but considering the brief period of Anabaptist rule in Münster and the extreme strain on the besieged city's resources, I imagine not too many were produced. Medals and other trinkets from the period and place are still around, though. Let me know if you find one!
If you want to learn more about the Münster Rebellion of 1534-5, look up the book The Tailor King. There are probably many more sources on the subject written in German and Dutch, but I can't read them. If you're more into podcasts, or you have four and a half hours to kill during commutes to and from work, check out Dan Carlin's Hardcore History site, which features an episode on the rebellion and its causes and effects. I'm a big fan of his work, and you might find that you're one too.Share this:

Link: "I Was A Nazi, And Here's Why"
Few perpetrators seek out their victims, let alone write books about them. Melita Maschmann, a former Nazi, published just such a book…
In recent years, many victims of violence have written memoirs in which they seek out and confront the perpetrators who harmed them. The opposite is rare. Few perpetrators seek out their victims, let alone write books about them. But fifty years ago this month, Melita Maschmann, a former Nazi, published just such a book.
"Fazit," which was translated as "Account Rendered" in 1964, is the memoir of a woman who, as a fifteen-year-old and against her family's wishes, joined the Hitler Youth. Before and during the Second World War, Maschmann worked in the high echelons of press and propaganda of the Bund Deutscher Mädel, the girls' section of the Nazi youth organization, and, later, she supervised the eviction of Polish farmers and the resettlement of ethnic Germans on their farms. Arrested in 1945 at the age of thirty-three, she completed a mandatory de-Nazification course and became a freelance journalist.
Soon after her release from internment in 1948, Maschmann wrote a letter to a Jewish former classmate with whom she had the kind of passionate friendship common among adolescent girls. She didn't know if her friend had made it out of Berlin before the war, or if her mother (whose address she had obtained) would pass the letter on. "I don't know if it reached you," the author writes. "Since then I have often continued my conversation with you, awake and in dreams, but I have never tried to write any of it down. Now, today, I feel impelled to do so. I was prompted to this by a trivial incident. A woman spoke to me in the street and the way she held her head suddenly reminded me quite strikingly of you. But what is the real reason which made me sit down and write to you as soon as I came in? Perhaps in the intervening years I have, without being aware of it, prepared an account within me which must be presented."
"Account Rendered" is written in the form of a second book-length letter. "With you as a witness," the author writes, in a painful, exhaustive, seemingly scrupulous portrait of her younger self, "I should like to try once more to go over the result of my reflections on the past. You will compel me to be much more precise than I could be if left to myself."
Maschmann is acutely aware that her friend might view her project as self-justifying, but writes, "Even the element of fate in a person's life does not dispose of individual guilt, I know that. What I hope, dare to hope, is that you might be able to understand—not excuse—the wrong and even evil steps which I took and which I must report, and that such an understanding might form the basis for a lasting dialogue."
Maschmann elaborated on her purpose to Hannah Arendt in 1963, in a letter that expressed her desire to help former Nazi colleagues reflect on their actions, and to help others "better understand" why people like her had been drawn to Hitler. (Their brief correspondence can be read online.)
A deft writer and practiced propagandist who understood the power of a vivid quote, detail, or anecdote, Maschmann portrayed herself as a girl who came of age in a culture imbued with the shame of Germany's defeat in the First World War. "Before I understood the meaning of the word 'Germany,' I loved it as something mysteriously overshadowed with grief…," she writes. Her wealthy parents, avid newspaper readers and members of the conservative German National Party, complained about "the chaotic squabbling of Parliament" and the millions of people out of work, but had a sign affixed to their door that read "No Hawkers or Beggars." Melita sympathized with them, and with the maid, chauffeur, and house seamstress. The latter wore an embossed metal swastika under the lapel of her coat, spoke movingly of Hitler, and was instrumental in Melita's resolve "to follow a different road from the conservative one prescribed for me by family tradition." The book documents twelve years of following that road.
"Account Rendered" appeared at a time when Arendt's phrase "the banality of evil" was making its way into public conversation, and while the West German parliament was debating the statute of limitations on crimes committed by Nazis. Some critics found the text candid and forthright; others considered it defensive, prevaricating, and melodramatic. Some of Maschmann's former colleagues, Nazis who were issued kerosene with which to burn their documents at the end of the war, viewed it as a betrayal, and never forgave her for writing it.
In Germany, the book went through eight editions (the last in 1987) and was added to high-school reading lists in some school districts. It became part of Germany's private, public, and scholarly debates over its own history. Historians of the Nazi period—Daniel Goldhagen and Claudia Koonz, among others—used "Account Rendered" as a primary source. Women's studies researchers tried to discover in it the mentality of a female perpetrator. Students of memoir used the text to showcase the vagaries of personal narrative; sociologists looked for a relation between the literary work and the cultural setting from which it arose. Some readers questioned Maschmann's reliability as a narrator, her motivation, and whether or not she was representative of ordinary Germans. They theorized about the Jewish friend to whom the memoir is addressed: Was she a construct, a composite, or a reality?
No one could answer those questions, because soon after the book's publication, its author effectively disappeared from public view. She had found a guru, Sri Anandamayi Ma, a woman venerated as a "living saint," in India. Maschmann took a Hindu name, lived in Indian ashrams, and returned to Germany only on brief family visits every two or three years.
I had never heard of Melita Maschmann until a friend, the former editor Arthur Samuelson, described "Account Rendered" as one of the most interesting memoirs he had ever read. My husband and I republish classic non-fiction as e-books at Plunkett Lake Press, and we were intrigued. "I found in the memoir someone who had been overtaken by history," Samuelson told me. "Someone who was struggling to make sense of what no longer made sense, and to understand why it had once done so. And someone whose best self had been attracted to Nazism."
We read the book and began to research its history.
First, we located Maschmann's remaining family in Germany and France. According to her sister-in-law, now in her nineties, Maschmann had trouble finding friends and establishing a postwar life. She travelled, took some university courses, and freelanced for newspapers. In 1962, she toured Afghanistan and India and, after publishing her memoir, decided to leave Germany.
Among the scholars who continue to be intrigued by Maschmann is Dagmar Reese, the author of "Growing Up Female in Nazi Germany." She recalled that she had come across a footnote in an essay by the late Irmgard Klönne suggesting that Maschmann's Jewish friend was not a literary construct but an actual person: Marianne Schweitzer, the daughter of the physician Ernst Schweitzer and Franziska Körte Schweitzer of Berlin. We located her at her home in La Jolla, California, and she almost hung up when we called, thinking we were telemarketers.

Link: George Orwell Reviews Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf"
It is a sign of the speed at which events are moving that Hurst and Blackett's unexpurgated edition of Mein Kampf, published only a year ago, is edited from a pro-Hitler angle. The obvious intention of the translator's preface and notes is to tone down the book's ferocity and present Hitler in as kindly a light as possible. For at that date Hitler was still respectable. He had crushed the German labour movement, and for that the property-owning classes were willing to forgive him almost anything. Both Left and Right concurred in the very shallow notion that National Socialism was merely a version of Conservatism.
Then suddenly it turned out that Hitler was not respectable after all. As one result of this, Hurst and Blackett's edition was reissued in a new jacket explaining that all profits would be devoted to the Red Cross. Nevertheless, simply on the internal evidence of Mein Kampf, it is difficult to believe that any real change has taken place in Hitler's aims and opinions. When one compares his utterances of a year or so ago with those made fifteen years earlier, a thing that strikes one is the rigidity of his mind, the way in which his world-view doesn't develop. It is the fixed vision of a monomaniac and not likely to be much affected by the temporary manoeuvres of power politics. Probably, in Hitler's own mind, the Russo-German Pact represents no more than an alteration of time-table. The plan laid down in Mein Kampf was to smash Russia first, with the implied intention of smashing England afterwards. Now, as it has turned out, England has got to be dealt with first, because Russia was the more easily bribed of the two. But Russia's turn will come when England is out of the picture—that, no doubt, is how Hitler sees it. Whether it will turn out that way is of course a different question.
Suppose that Hitler's programme could be put into effect. What he envisages, a hundred years hence, is a continuous state of 250 million Germans with plenty of "living room" (i.e. stretching to Afghanistan or thereabouts), a horrible brainless empire in which, essentially, nothing ever happens except the training of young men for war and the endless breeding of fresh cannon-fodder. How was it that he was able to put this monstrous vision across? It is easy to say that at one stage of his career he was financed by the heavy industrialists, who saw in him the man who would smash the Socialists and Communists. They would not have backed him, however, if he had not talked a great movement into existence already. Again, the situation in Germany, with its seven million unemployed, was obviously favourable for demagogues. But Hitler could not have succeeded against his many rivals if it had not been for the attraction of his own personality, which one can feel even in the clumsy writing of Mein Kampf, and which is no doubt overwhelming when one hears his speeches …. The fact is that there is something deeply appealing about him. One feels it again when one sees his photographs—and I recommend especially the photograph at the beginning of Hurst and Blackett's edition, which shows Hitler in his early Brownshirt days. It is a pathetic, dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs. In a rather more manly way it reproduces the expression of innumerable pictures of Christ crucified, and there is little doubt that that is how Hitler sees himself. The initial, personal cause of his grievance against the universe can only be guessed at; but at any rate the grievance is here. He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds. If he were killing a mouse he would know how to make it seem like a dragon. One feels, as with Napoleon, that he is fighting against destiny, that he can't win, and yet that he somehow deserves to. The attraction of such a pose is of course enormous; half the films that one sees turn upon some such theme.
Also he has grasped the falsity of the hedonistic attitude to life. Nearly all western thought since the last war, certainly all "progressive" thought, has assumed tacitly that human beings desire nothing beyond ease, security and avoidance of pain. In such a view of life there is no room, for instance, for patriotism and the military virtues. The Socialist who finds his children playing with soldiers is usually upset, but he is never able to think of a substitute for the tin soldiers; tin pacifists somehow won't do. Hitler, because in his own joyless mind he feels it with exceptional strength, knows that human beings don't only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flags and loyalty-parades. However they may be as economic theories, Fascism and Nazism are psychologically far sounder than any hedonistic conception of life. The same is probably true of Stalin's militarised version of Socialism. All three of the great dictators have enhanced their power by imposing intolerable burdens on their peoples. Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people "I offer you a good time," Hitler has said to them "I offer you struggle, danger and death," and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet. Perhaps later on they will get sick of it and change their minds, as at the end of the last war. After a few years of slaughter and starvation "Greatest happiness of the greatest number" is a good slogan, but at this moment "Better an end with horror than a horror without end" is a winner. Now that we are fighting against the man who coined it, we ought not to underrate its emotional appeal.

Link: Hitler's Food Taster: One Bite Away from Death
Each meal could have been her last, but Adolf Hitler's food taster Margot Wölk lived to tell her story. Forced to test the Nazi leader's meals for more than two years, the 95-year-old tells SPIEGEL ONLINE that she lived in constant fear.
It might have been something as simple as a portion of white asparagus. Peeled, steamed and served with a delicious sauce, as Germans traditionally eat it. And with real butter, a scarcity in wartime. While the rest of the country struggled to get even coffee, or had to spread margarine diluted with flour on their bread, Margot Wölk could have savored the expensive vegetable dish — if not for the fear of dying, that is. Wölk was one of 15 young women who were forced to taste Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's food for some two and a half years during World War II.
The 24-year-old secretary had fled from her parents' bombed-out Berlin apartment in the winter of 1941, traveling to her mother-in-law's home in the East Prussian village of Gross-Partsch, now Parcz, Poland. It was an idyllic, green setting, and she lived in a house with a large garden. But less than three kilometers (1.9 miles) away was the location that Hitler had chosen for his Eastern Front headquarters — the Wolf's Lair.
"The mayor of the little nest was an old Nazi," says Wölk. "I'd hardly arrived when the SS showed up at the door and demanded, 'Come with us!'"
Sitting in the same apartment in Berlin's Schmargendorf area where she was born 95 years ago, she carefully eats tiny pieces of crumb cake from a silver fork. "Delicious," she says. Wölk has learned to enjoy food again, but it wasn't easy.
Hitler's thugs brought her and the other young women to barracks in nearby Krausendorf, where cooks prepared the food for the Wolf's Lair in a two-story building. The service personnel filled platters with vegetables, sauces, noodle dishes and exotic fruits, placing them in a room with a large wooden table, where the food had to be tasted. "There was never meat because Hitler was a vegetarian," Wölk recalls. "The food was good — very good. But we couldn't enjoy it."

Find a way to provide reliable multi homing without massive route
table growth and you fix many things.
We tried, at least for the IPv6 community, but A6 was just experimentalized.
I do not run Vario ... I will not fault them for taking a stance?
It's hard to justify any statement of the form "somebody else ought to do XYZ".
If it's a good idea and well presented, they'll do it. If not, they won't. I
would no more allow a third party (noncustomer) to tell me what routes I had to
accept than I would allow a third party to tell me what e-mail (e.g., "spam")
I had to accept. If I own the router (or mail server, or whatever) then it's
up to me (and my customers) to decide how they're to be configured.
The flip side definitely applies as well. If a peer doesn't like the routes
I'm sending them then since they're not a third party to the peering
relationship they definitely have the power and right to negotiate with me.
But somebody like Patrick would qualify as a third party, with no rights at
all, and would be, and should be, ignored.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
On Hatteberg's People, last week was a long week for me, that is why this next little story was like a respite in a storm. Linda and Leslie Allison of Florence live in a relaxing out-of-the-way historic house that has been a home to Leslie's family since 1873.
"We like sitting out here on the porch and watching the birds and listening to the water, visiting with friends. It's a great place."
The place is one of history. The old stone part of this home built in 1873 by Les Allison's great grandfather. You see it on the left. The log-cabin portion built years later in the 1970's by Les.
"We're kind of surrounded by a crown of ancestors who we respect and honor."
Few families can say they are living in the same house, on the same land from the 1870's.
"We look back and know some of the stories that they had to say and we look back and say yeah, that's what real people are about."
Les and his wife Linda decided to move into the old stone part of the house in the 1970's when they had three small children…now those children are grown with their on families. But back then the old stone house was falling apart.
"The house had now windows and no doors. We were fighting the rats to see who was going to live in it. I swore I wouldn't move in, until there was water and electricity, but I did. (Laugh) I don't know why but I did."
It was built by A. N. Allison, each stone hand carved.
"It makes history come so alive."
The house sits next to Doyle Creek. A picturesque place where the dog loves to play retriever….and he never tires.
"Our water supply for the house is in that spring and it goes under the creek and we have a line buried in the stone house."
It is a peaceful place. Idyllic in many ways. A tremendous amount of work brought them to this point in their lives…now, both retired, they relax near the acorn trees with natures symphony of color and life -- like a Norman Rockwell painting.
"Whenever you honor you parent's part of that is understanding who they were and feeling that closeness of relationship."
There is history here…and because Les's family seldom through anything away they are blessed with letters from the Great Grandfather and other relatives who lived through drought and depressions on the same land. That land grant deed signed by President Ulysses S. Grant.
"Well, it has certainly been fun. It's been an experience."

Do you have lots of things to say about Escape Studios? We've put together a satisfaction survey which has been designed to help us understand what you'd like to see from Escape Studios. If there are things you think we can improve or are doing really well, we really do want to hear about it.
That's all Folks! For now…
With 2011 around the corner, I wanted to reflect on some of the amazing things that Escape Studios has achieved this year. Opening our offices in LA, launching our brand new US website, the phenomenal success of CG Whiz and the launch of our Mentored Training Courses is just the tip of the iceberg. We've had Paul Frankin of DNEG talk to our students about the incredible VFX created for Inception and Christan Manz, VFX supervisor on the latest HP7 talk about how Framestore wowed with their character creation.
TWO Free Tutorials: Car Lighting and MIA Material X Passes
Lighting and Shading are an integral part of the VFX pipeline and if you want to take your skills to a professional level these tutorials are the best place to start learning. What's great about these tutorials is that they tackle pretty complicated subjects head-on and they are practical so, although you'll understand the theory, you'll also learn how to practically apply this knowledge. The best part is that these tutorials will sit in our resource centre permanently, so you can access them whenever you want and learn whenever it suits you.
The Sistine Chapel in 3D
For all you digital artists out there this just goes to show that there truly is no school like the old school.
Announcing the winners of 2010's CG Whiz
As you know we have spent the past month judging the 170-odd entries we received for this year's CG Whiz awards. I have to say the standard of entries was incredibly high, and our judges had an extra-tough job singling out those who showed the sheer talent and potential they were looking for.
Amazing Showreel from Displace Studios
Here's a link to a fantastic reel from our friends at Displace Studios, they worked with us earlier this year to create some eye popping 3D brand furniture for our new website and other collateral. They did an amazing job for us and I wish them every luck with this new venture.
Creating a Medieval City with CityEngine
Ever thought how hard it would be to design all the different buildings for a Medieval town and then deal with the layout and terrain?... Wow what a headache! Well, not such a headache any more. You can now create realistic looking medieval dwellings and villages that look like they have just come out of an episode of Merlin using CityEngine.
Xbox Kinect Versus Playstation Move

Framestore's VFX Supervisor on HP7 Inspires our Students
Last Wednesday, Escape Studios had the honour of having Christian Manz, VFX Supervisor at Framestore come into our studios and talk to our students about life in the industry. Christian discussed the bits about the job that are great (Like getting to see your name up on the big screen after arduous months of working on a project) and the bits which aren't quite so good (Like the long hours). It wasn't just our students who enjoyed it, we loved it too. Christian's thirteen year career has been an epic one and his latest contribution to the industry as VFX Supervisor on the latest HP7 is particularly impressive. We spoke to Christian about the highs and lows of his career so far, and what it feels like to have been part of one of the biggest films of our recent times.
Thank you technology customers!

CG Andrex Puppy!
So an Iconic mascot after 4 decades has finally become a CG character. Having done this myself with the first CG Tony the Tiger I have to wonder whether this will work. The British public being such a fickle bunch! CG Tony was to be a furry character but was squashed at the last moment by Kellogg's in the States as going to far away from the 2D character of Tony (shame he was so cool furry).
The wait's finally over – CG Whiz 2010 shortlist
We said it was going to be tough to judge and we were right. The entries for this year's CG Whiz competition blew us away (quite literally!) and the quality of the reels overall impressed each and every judge.
Empire Strikes Back Director Irvin Kershner Dies
Irvin Kershner, director of 'The Empire Strikes Back' died on Saturday in Los Angeles, aged 87. 'Kersh'', as he was affectionately known on the set of the 1980 sequel, deserves credit for directing easily the finest of all the Star Wars films, and for a diverse and varied career in which the inter-galactic blockbuster was something of an anomaly.
The Amazing Flying Festo Manta Ray
Have any of you been watching Wallace and Gromit's new program on BBC1? It's basically like a new version of Tomorrow's World with Wallace acting as the presenter and Gromit taking the role of the funny side-kick.
MediaCity UK - Salford Quays, Manchester
I was invited up to take a look around MediaCityUK UK last week. I didn't really know what to expect, I had heard quite a bit about the developments over the past few years but it had always been 'up North' and at the back of my mind.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1
I went to see HP7 at the weekend. We are all different but I really miss the magical events of the early Potter, I guess I just didn't want him to grow up!
The VFX work was amazing, as always, well done to everyone involved. Would the film have been enhanced if it was in 3D? I think possibly so, but as we all now know, 3D as an afterthought is not the way to go.
I do worry about having a 'two parter' personally, you are going to the cinema knowing that there will not be a resolution. But that said, the cinema was full and that has to be a good thing for the industry. Count down to the final film... or will it be?
To be academic or not, that is the question...
Here's a great piece of animation which illustrates something I care deeply about, the education system.
CG Whiz 2010: A tough task to judge
As this year's CG Whiz competition finally closes, we're delighted to announce we had 170 entries through the door (smashing last year's entry tally) and the quality of reels blew us away. There's definitely a lot of talented CG artists out there and we know just how much this competition can help up and coming artists get their foot in the door.
More VFX Wizardry from Framestore with Harry Potter
Here I am, sat in the airport with some time to kill – so I start reading the papers and the front pages are all covered with reviews of last night's premiere of Harry Potter (The Deathly Hallows Part 1) in London. That's lucky, because I really like Harry Potter and I am quite looking forward to seeing the film.
Pixar's RenderMan amazing 40% price reduction!
Yesterday, Pixar announced an unprecedented price drop in their flagship product RenderMan® Pro Server. The 40% reduction will allow studios and freelancers that were previously unable to buy into the technology, to get a slice of the Film / VFX industry standard renderer. With the global CG expansion, Pixar appreciate that the growth of renderfarms is real and happening now, this move allows existing customers to ramp up their rendering capabilities in a more cost effective manner whilst allowing smaller shops and freelancers access to the toolset.

- Bottom Line: I loved wearing this dress for my night out, it got loads of compliments and no one else was wearing it, even though there were a few thousand people there. It spent two days and a night in my bag before I needed it and it didn't look sketchy or anything when I finally got it on. Found it to be really comfortably and wasn't constantly worried about it's length like with a lot of other costumes. Can't wait for the next event to wear it to!

- Bottom Line: Costume looks really good on =) though the colour is slightly brighter than seen in the picture. Sizing is generous so you could consider going slightly smaller than planned (as pluff sleeves may look slightly big). Overall a good costume which very well received by peers and thought of as highly original and fun!!! Looks good with plain white tights and a blue bow helps pull the look together.

George Sharp set out to achieve an evocative campaign, one that would showcase the evolution of St. John. George sees Karen as the epitome of the modern day woman...the St. John woman… strong, confident, sensual and approachable with effortless glamour. Portrait photography that shows the clothes in real detail...direct, not superficial, yet intimate. The photographs elicit a joie de vivre...there is energy and movement as well as a lightness and freshness to them. Shot in a New York studio, the clean and crisp backdrop provides a stark, yet alluring juxtaposition to Karen's porcelain skin and signature auburn hair. George purposely selected clothes that are black or neutral to create an image that would stand the test of time. Classic, modern, ageless.
Absolutely breathtaking!
WOW!!! The model is breath taking and the Spring Collection is a must have for all women... I cant wait!

Chutzpah Award winner
Friday, June 07, 2013 3:00 AM
It's only early June, but already we think we have the winner of the 2013 Chutzpah Award.
At this point, we don't see how anyone can top our state's governor, Sam Brownback. After the just-completed legislative session, the governor's office released a statement that, in part, read:
"I will sign a pro-growth tax reform bill that continues our efforts to reduce the tax burden on all Kansans. The legislation builds on last year's historic tax cuts and further reduces state income rates and cuts the state's sales tax rate (our emphasis)."
This is right up there with him taking credit for the revenue from Gov. Parkinson's penny sales tax.
That sales tax, passed in 2010 to get Kansas through the Great Recession, was for three years. Sixth-tenths of it was due to sunset July 1. However, because of the income tax cuts that Brownback and fellow conservatives rammed through the 2012 session, the state found itself in dire need of the estimated $250 million a year that sixth-tenths would generate.
Brownback wanted to keep all of the sales tax, but members of his own Republican party, particularly those conservatives in the House, dug in. So instead of the 5.7 percent it was supposed to drop to, it ended up at 6.15 percent.
How anyone can swallow this as a cut is beyond us. Perhaps this emanates from the governor's time in the weird world of Washington, where reductions in the rate of growth are bemoaned as "cuts."
It's estimated the tax package the Legislature passed will raise $777 million over five years. That might not be enough, especially if the state loses yet another school finance lawsuit.
It's almost been forgotten, but in January a three-judge panel ruled that the state has made funding cuts since 2008 that are unconstitutional and ordered the state to raise school funding by $442 million a year.
The news release from the governor's office claims that, "This session will forever be remembered as the one that turned the state around the corner on the road to prosperity."
We have our doubts about that, but we don't fault the governor for making such a claim. What we do have a problem with is when he takes credit for reducing the sales tax when he fought hard to keep it even higher.
Hence, the Chutzpah Award.

Hamilton High School seniors Caroline Hope, Aaron Konop and Andrew McClone are recipients of the Wisconsin Academic Excellence Scholarship. The four-year scholarship is worth $2,250 annually for tuition at a Wisconsin public or private college, university or technical college.
The scholarships are administered through the Wisconsin Academic Educational Aids Board and funded through matching state and college contributions. They are given annually to recognize the state's highest achieving students and to provide an incentive for them to continue their education in Wisconsin. Students are chosen based on cumulative grade point averages after the first semester of their senior year. In the event of a tie, ACT or SAT scores, the number of Advanced Placement (AP) courses taken, AP grade point average and involvement in curricular and co-curricular leadership activities are taken into consideration.
Hamilton's recipients will be recognized May 22 at the Senior Scholarship Ceremony in the Hamilton Fine Arts Center.

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

The setting is Macdonough Hall, twin of Dahlgren Hall, flanking Bancroft. McDonough housed the gymnasium and natatorium, you can spot gym equipment in the background in the photo.
One of the feats of our required gym class was to scramble up a rope to the top supporting beam up there in the blackness of this photo, including holding the rope with our feet and letting our hands go for a count by the grumpy gym coach. I always wondered what Sadist dreamed these things up.

On this week's episode of Supernatural…
Sam, Dean, and Bobby attempt to figure out how to kill (or at least slow down) the Leviathan that they've captured. Nothing they normally use works.
Sam and Dean learn that a pair of Leviathan look like them and are going on a killing spree in the order of their hunts since Sam left Stanford.
Sam and Dean attempt to intercept the impostors, but end up captured instead.
Sheriff Jody Mills arrives at Bobby's place and thanks him for saving her. While cleaning she accidentally drips water mixed with borax onto the Leviathan. It burns him enough to slow him down and Bobby chops off its head separating the two pieces.
Sam and Dean defeat impostor Sam and Dean in similar fashion, except fake Dean reveals that Dean killed Amy.
Crowley attempts to team up with the leader Leviathan, but he refuses.
Sam, now upset and betrayed, leaves Dean.

On a scattergram adorned with major college football team logos, the X-axis represents the scale from "weakling" to "powerhouse", while the Y-axis tracks the intangible ranging from embarrassing to admirable. Penn State's logo shows up on the bottom of the "embarrassing" scale and slightly to the right of the Y-axis, representing a modest powerhouse.

But above and beyond that, what we found—and this was something that really affected us and was something that we tried to make as clear as possible in the report—is that apart from the deaths and the maimings and the injuries, apart from that, there is a constant effect that people who live in these areas of northwest Pakistan—there are experiences, there are effects that are quite serious that everyone in the community—men, women, children, anyone and everyone—feel and experience on an everyday basis. Drones flying overhead, they make a buzzing sound. If you're under those drones, you know, as Sarah said earlier, that they can fire down at any time, and they can fire down on anyone. And if you are within strike distance in the blast radius of a strike, it doesn't matter that they're not striking you. You—shrapnel and the blast of drones and, in particular, of the Hellfire missiles that they fire, they don't discriminate. Maybe the operators discriminate—and again, how they discriminate is an open question, and we can talk about that. But once the missiles hit, those within a radius of danger are subject to death or serious injury. And so, the consequence of this are the psychological effects and also significant effects on Pakistani society, on local society. People are afraid to congregate in groups of three or four. People don't go to rescue maybe close relatives or friends when a drone missile has struck. People don't go to funerals of community members that they would go to funerals of. In short, there's a breakdown in basic social engagement that we've documented, and what it adds up to is thousands of people living in a region where drones cause them to experience life as though they were in a war zone. And the last time I checked, the United States had not declared war on Pakistan. James Cavallaro on Democracy Now
