While searching for music for the song Rasputin on Youtube for the WHH EC assignment, I found a billion other songs that could work, so here are a few for those who are interested. This band Sabaton I found out has a lot of songs based on the fighting of WWI and WWII, some like The Price of a Mile (the one I did) is about the terrible fighting of trench warfare, Iron Maiden did one about WWI battle of Paschendale as well. Here are some of the ones I didn't chose or show to other people yet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z075LB4vtsowww.youtube.com/watch?v=0ggu2V6GqG4& These two may not technically work, since they are both about Hitler's attack of Russia in WWII, we technically haven't gotten there yet, but if you want to do it anyway since we are still doing WWII as a whole, go for it I guess. This is a song (once again by Sabaton) about Hitler's advance into Poland and the bravery of the Polish soldiers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBwwFsKTJGs&feature=relatedThis song is about Germany's rule pre-WWII after Hitler took power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiSRRFOuNqo&feature=relatedHope these helped you out. Mildred (Kevin) ;D

I'm the only one who actually posts anything in this section... :"( Oh well, I need some peer reviews of my WHH speech. I have to do a speech in the persona of Hitler pre-Stalingrad. This is my rought-draft (I did not do the ending yet, I already know what I will put there). I may also got back afterward and add a little more German Uhhh...Dmitri...*cough* no offense to Russia intended or anything... *cough* Kevin Gilbert Ms. Huguenin WHH, P.3 April 9, 2009 WHH Unit Project – Speech: Hitler Pre-Stalingrad Meine Soldaten, warriors of the Third Reich. Meine Staatsbürger; families, citizens, and workers of the Third Reich. It has been nearly three years since our retaking of Poland, and 24 years since our freedoms were ripped away by the Treaty of Versailles. I ask you look at our Germany now. We control Europe, and our enemies are falling one by one before us. There is no one but the self-proclaimed “Great” Britain and Stalin’s filthy communist Russia left to defeat. On June 22, 1941, our German war machine raged into the Soviet Union. The impure communist were crushed! Our advance into the Soviet Union has led us into their heartland. We have advanced to within 15 km of Moscow. Stalin’s Red Army has been swept aside by our superior forces like a colony of ants running from an exterminator. My fellow Aryans, that is what we are…, exterminators! This war with Stalin is no longer about merely Lebensraum, it is about victory! It is about the total… and utter destruction of our enemies! We must march into their capital and crush them. We will chase them down in their country, their cities, their streets, their very homes! We will strike terror into the hearts of any foolish enough to attempt to stand in our way! Their dirty, impure blood will run in the streets as we crush them beneath our unstoppable might!! Wir werden die Soviet Union reinigen damit wir sie übernehmen können!!! In WWI, we crushed the Soviets so badly that they turned to communism thinking it would be better! Das ist lustig! The Soviet Union is on the brink of collapse, I need you, meine Staatsbürger, to give me your last shred of energy towards our grand victory. I need your last mark, your last scrap of metal, your very last breath! All must be given for the fatherland, for her victory! Any relinquishment in duty is a betrayal against your fatherland, against the Third Reich, against your Führur! Any resignation is a sign of weakness that hinders our great victory. As Aryans, as Germans, you know no true defeat. As a German, you are superior, and as such, I expect equally superior things from you all. The Soviets have in their possession a small industrial town on the Volga River; it goes by the schmutzig name “Stalingrad.” This town bears the name of Stalin, our vile communist enemy, therefore it must be destroyed. Stalingrad, how I shudder at the mere articulation of the name, also holds key militaristic value for us. The capture of Stalingrad will mark the final chapter for Stalin’s Soviet Russia. Stalin calls upon everyone to defend his dirty town. He calls upon the only soldiers he has left: the old, the young, the weak, the wounded, the sick, he calls upon anyone with the strength to stand. This is all Stalin has left! My soldiers, I call upon you once again. This war can end in our grand victory within a year, and all that impedes our mighty path is a ragged army of old, sick, wounded, Stalinist communists in an old, dirty Soviet city.

Cool. You sound ready to take over the world...*cough* *cough* *Texas* *cough* :)
Only thing that bothered me was this: "I ask you look at our Germany now." Is there a comma after "you" or at least a "to" after "you?" 'Cuz otherwise, it bothers me. If you wanted, you could just be all like: "Look at our Germany now. Look at US now..." instead. :P
Yeah...only other thing would be how you wrote the date. If it's supposed to be MLA format, it should be 9 April 2009...otherwise...as far as I'm concerned, it's all good. :)
Gurleen was supposed to "read" me her speech today...she said she'd read it to me yesterday too, but...PSH! It IS Gurleen...

...Kevin....why don't you write my speeches for me?
That was are really good. For a punch at the end:
The Soviets have in their possession a small industrial town on the Volga River; it goes by the schmutzig name “Stalingrad.” This town bears the name of Stalin, our vile communist enemy, therefore it must be destroyed.

My soldiers, I call upon you once again. Within a year, this war can end in our grand victory. All that impedes our mighty path is Stalin's vile, communist army. Go forth. Conquer. Let the power and glory of the 3rd Reich be known throughout the world!

yayz, thanks. The reason the grammar is wrong is because that is more how I will say it, rather than how it should be read. You heard ma long string of German at lunch today I may put the video Simon took up here later. The video doesn't do me justice though, its small speakers don't truly catch the pure volume with which I screamed at

lolz
Kelly...you should say that they're "Aryans" instead of Germans...too much about the Germans...besides, isn't it cooler to be "Aryan" than German? >.< I mean, like...I suck at history, so don't quote me if I'm wrong, and I probably wouldn't trust what I say either, but...it's Hitler, so...Stalingrad...after the Holocaust??? Kinda...during? So, wouldn't his army be that of the "best" and the "pure" Germans? aka...the Aryans? The Jews, the gays, and the gypsies have already been put into camps or whatever, right?
lolz...Kelly...if you wanted Kevin to write your speeches, shouldn't you NOT add/correct any of his speeches????? You can't say it's sarcasm, 'cuz that'd be too mean. :P

I think to Hitler, German is about the same as Aryan. In the sense of the German "race", not just nationality.
But, I'm also not sure? If Aryans and Germans are separate, anyway, the German Aryans would still be considered better than other Aryans because the Nazi ideology was based a lot on nationalism.

I see? ...maybe...?
But if Hitler really did think of the Aryan Germans as the only Germans...then what happens to the gays and gypsies (are they German? or just the traveling type?) that are what Hitler defines as Aryan (the whole 100% pure German, superior, etc.), 'cuz even though they had 100% German blood and all that, he still killed them...
If he really thought of the "German" as a race and not nationality, wouldn't it not really matter that there were those who were "inferior" to him/his "Aryan comrades"? He only tried to kill the Jews/gypsies/gays/etc. in Germany, it's not like he tried to hunt them down...wasn't it just because they lived in Germany or whatever that he tried to "exterminate" them? 'Cuz they "sullied" the name of the "Germans" (as a nationality?).
Or...then again, it could've just that he knew that the people that escaped would have no place to go (probably), and/or he believed that he'd actually get as far as taking over the world so he could fully extinguish those that weren't Aryan or didn't believe Aryans were superior (not so likely)...
By the way...lolz...are we really having this conversation?

Actually Gypsies aren't German. They're a nomadic group, so I don't think they really belong in any one place. And gays, the mentally ill, etc. fell under Hitler's definition of "imperfect" and unfit to be part of his German empire. So yeah. Well he did try to exterminate "inferior" people in other countries, when Germany got control of them. Also, yes. But we can stop now.

Neva! Hitler at first actually just tried to get rid of the Jews by chasing them into other countries, but other countries eventually closed their doors to immigration, that's when Hitler started his "Final Solution."
