The Savior Traitors Let’s think of this situation, suppose that a person live in a country that just got into war, but they found out that the war started because their country is trying to kill off a race of people. What would they do, would they stand there and do nothing? Would he or she try to fight your government in politics or physically? Or take down the government from the inside by influencing the people to see what was really going on? That last one my friend is what happened in Germany
Is it? Could it be? No it must be some giant fluffy cloud in my sights, but as I approached it... it was! The Hindenburg. One of the finest Led Zeppilins ever made. In all my years of schooling I would have never thought I would be able service the beast! The intership seemed to good to be true but had to take it. I had only been on it once a few years before with my parents but never would I think I woild be a part of the crew. These were my first impressions of the impressive Hindenburg ship.

“A fanatically hysteric romantic with a brutal will,” this is how Karl Alexander von Muller, described the personality of Adolf Hitler. Throughout Hitler’s reign, people close to him had the same outlook towards him, like von Muller, and many officers and generals plotted to kill the dictator. The plot that came closest to succeeding was “Project Valkyrie,” which was the subject of the 2010 film “Valkyrie”.

They'll just get disrespect in return and become a low status in their people’s hearts. In Sophocles tragic play Antigone, King Creon’s self importance and high level of arrogance caused many consequences in the drama such as death itself
