    Officially credited with 80 air combat victories, 26 year old Manfred von Richthofen (“The Red Baron”) was not only Germany’s greatest Ace, but the greatest Ace of World War 2. Despite the fact that he was killed nearly 100 years ago on 21 April 1918, the question still remains: Who killed Manfred von Richthofen? While the kill was credited to be the work of Captain Roy Brown, a Canadian pilot, there are reasons to believe that the Baron was killed at the hands of a different soldier.

  • Our Secret by Susan Griffin

    1013 Words  | 3 Pages

    Susan Griffin's "Our Secret" is a study in psychology. It is a look into the human mind to see what makes people do the things they do and in particular what makes people commit acts of violence. She isolates the first half of the twentieth century and in particular the era of the Second World War as a basis for her study. The essay discusses a number of people but they all tie in to Heinrich Himmler. He is the extreme case, he who can be linked directly to every single death in the concentration camps. Griffin seeks to examine Himmler because if she can discern a monster like Himmler than everyone else simply falls into place. The essay also tries to deduce why something like the Holocaust, although never mentioned directly, can take place. How can so many people be involved and yet so few people try to end it.

Chanel was notorious for her wartime affair with the German aristocrat Hans Günther von Dincklage. However, her association with Abwehr has been rejected from films and biographies for being historically inaccurate, until historians uncovered police reports that proved otherwise. The primary and secondary sources being used are regarding her relationships to influential German dignitaries, and her motive for wanting to be an undercover spy; to evaluate Chanel’s connection to Abwehr. Of these sources, the two that will be evaluated in Section C are Sleeping With the Enemy by Hal Vaughan, and The New York Times “The many faces of Coco” by Lauren Lipton due to their origins purpose value and limitations.

    He was twenty-five years old and had been a prisoner for the last four-and-a-half-years (5). Dick went to work that normal day, bagging and loading coal. At the end of the day, Dick returned to his prison camp. At 9 p.m. he began to hear the sirens, no one in the camp noticed, as the sirens were a common occurrence. Soon after the sirens, they heard the noise. The city of Dresden was being showered with bombs from American B17’s. Dick stepped outside of his camp, “The sky was a nightmare of lurid flames; aircraft on fire and blowing up in great gouts of titanic violence. An inferno of noise, flames and flying dust. And then, quite suddenly, it stopped.” There were two more bombings that night, Dick’s life had been spared (6). A few days later, Dick, still a Prisoner-of-War was sent back to Dresden, which was a graveyard of rubble. Instead of bagging coal, he began digging mass graves. Then the digging stopped, and the burning of bodies began. Weeks later, Dick heard Churchill’s voice announcing the War was over (10).

It took Dick forty-five year to retell his story, and even then, “The tales that were coming out of the city were too horrible to

  • Book Thief Themes

    622 Words  | 2 Pages

    The novel, The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak is set in Nazi Germany in the midst of World War 2 and considering this, is an uncommon type of novel in regards to its focus. The Jewish, or other non-Aryan people who were persecuted so vehemently are often the focus of books set during World War 2, rather than the Aryan German population. Having this seen so predominantly in The Book Thief enabled the consequences of Hitler’s regime that are more sparsely known to be displayed, accrediting a much further depth to the detriments of the war upon European society. The novel exhibits this death, destruction and tragedy implicit in war as one of its main themes. This theme is displayed by the evils which humans are able to inflict upon each other, of which there are

This is true for the Michael, who inherits this collective guilt even though his parents were not Nazis and did not participate themselves. Michael Berg is the young man who wrestles with issues of guilt and moral meaning, and he does so in a way that suggests that we can never answer these questions fully and that the interconnections among people and among elements in their lives make it difficult to give clear and certain answers. At some level, Michael simply has to accept that certain things just are, and this includes his own uncertainty.
