Historian of the US and Germany (retired). Fighting fascism since before it became cool. Lectures and Interviews: tumblr: My Book:
And let me just add that citizens and politicians as well as civic leaders of any stripe might wish to remember that such things may happen from time to time.
These kinds of things have happened, and we would be amiss to pretend otherwise.
As a Historian, it is my duty to point out certain lines of tradition. That is all.
My contribution to the annual contest for "Least Ominous Billboard Ad of the Year".
When will someone put a glob of raw minced meat on a desk to see how it holds up compared to Starmer?
Word! Here's an ICE train in 2022 doing 250 km/h. Max speed is 280.
From my research, a dinner party with Lincoln in 1861 (see alt text).
Looking at this guy. Counting on Sandmännchen to save the soul of culture producers in the world.
Consultants advise the Democrats not to call it fascism; wait patiently for elections. Argue voters won't go for anything else.
What happened to those men, is a question that I have been asking myself. Here is an African soldier driving a military vehicle while putting down the Soviet Republic of Munich.
Yes, and I would add that the barbarian Untermensch, as the Nazis imagined it, was a socialist worker led by Jewish agitators, as well as a racialized other. "Black (or yellow) and red" were part of the same foil. Consider the Asiatic traits of the Communist in this fascist cartoon:
The poster and his wife at the concert hall "Die Glocke" in Bremen, about to watch Loriot's "Szenen einer Ehe" (Scenes from a Marriage) performed by Senta Berger and Friedrich von Thun.
Another visit to the #Freimarkt fair (which has been held for 990 years), for a childhood favorite of mine, Rossbratwurst (horse sausage).
When I said the weather here was 55°F and drizzle, I wasn't kidding. I feel at home.
