There are some accounts from people who knew him early in life, long before he got into politics. It seems he was a pretty tortured soul, prone to bouts of passion and melancholy in equal measure, and preferred to spend his time away from people, aside from a few close friends. Despite his dislike of people, he had a strong sense of civic duty, and was present on the frontlines in WWI as a corporal. I have a feeling that a lot of the horrible things said of him as a person are merely people verbally pissing on his grave as a sort of post-humous humiliation ritual, as opposed to things that actually have a basis in reality.

In combat at range you hear the crack first and the bang later, that is why you need to listen for the direction of the second sound to know from what direction you got shot at.

As long as you know exactly what’s in the direction you’re shooting you don’t need a berm. Plus the 30 carbine round isn’t anything like modern high ballistic coefficient bullets that will keep traveling for 1km. Your maximum effective range is 100yds with military manuals suggesting not to shoot over 50yds if you can help it. By 300yds the bullet has lost so much energy that is almost in the dirt if you fire from 5 feet off the ground. 300yds is about .25km for the metric users

Besides training on a static range with wind socks and all the ammunition you’re ever gonna need is nothing like combat. It builds good discipline but you aren’t gonna hit anything in actual combat at 300yds unless you get lucky. The Lee Enfield rifles in WW1 had sights that went to over 1300 meters.

For an untrained eyes, it's decent. But if you look closely, even the perspective of the lines doesn't add up with the current angle/perspective of the architecture. For an example; if you look at a window in an angle you would probably see the other side of the window as big where the farther side of the window looks small. Hitler on the other hand would just draw straight up square.

Would it be stealing if you conquered the land? Thought those were spoils of war. The Soviets sure didn't give back what they took then. One thing you have to admire about the Germans was how they tried to avoid damaging priceless works and art. in WWI the Kaiser even expressly forbidden the Zeppelin raids from attacking landmarks and important locations.

I find it extremely ironic that the allies sent a task force to find and preserve art that was being stolen by Nazis in WWII, when the British themselves did that for decades when they "visited" other countries hundreds of years earlier. Historical perspective is weird.

They wouldn’t be crawling with a clear line of sight to the shooters, there would be sandbags and/or a burm to make sure the only way you got shot was by standing up like an idiot

i loved this movie but the reason hitler didnt bomb paris was because the french surrendered on the hope that the germans would not bombard the city and hitler wanted to bomb london more as a htred for the british poeple and their defiance

This is a good movie if your into history especially ww2, but i can see why it flopped hard in theaters its all over the place and jumps around to much not to much action either
