The "official" history is actually what worries me the most.the most absurd nonsense without any official sanction
True, but you see every person who received even the most basic form of education should distance itself from any Geocentric or "flat earth model" view, this is covered in elementary school, while AFV and military history are not necessarily taught there. These articles are being pumped out in the dozens, it is more about quantity than quality content. Youd think that they would actually consult any experts on these topics before publishing something. Blogs vs professional journalism, there should be a difference. I am not excluding clickbait of course.Do a search for Flat-Earth content on You Tube. That should destroy and hope you have in the power of modern education.
In pre-internet days lots of people believed crazy things but they kept it to themselves. Now you can find many like-minds online and organise yourselves into a movement.
I respectfully disagree. In the thread header we have the issue that expands the thread beyond the (de)merits of Adolf's 62 ton pet.Robert Rojas wrote:

As you have undoubtedly observed, much of the give and take within this thread has rarely touched upon the Fatherland's mighty King Tiger Heavy Battle Tank...
You have a point here. This is a point that James Holland makes repeatedly. Get him on the subject of British Germans and US uniforms..BDV wrote: ↑15 Oct 2018 17:29In the thread header we have the issue that expands the thread beyond the (de)merits of Adolf's 62 ton pet.
Namely the German penchant (and effort expenditure) for making things/actions as much to "look" deadly/scary. From the bluster of J Goebbels propaganda issuances, to that of Ribbentropp's war threats, to the massiveness of 'stringbag'-sunk Bismarck, to the UBoot blockadeers of UK's strategic lime importation, to the siren on the Stukas and the black paint of the early panzers.
Even Adolf himself talking about Barbarossa did not state something like "Germany will administer Bolshevik Russia a thorough thrashing", but rather "When Barbarossa commences the world will hold its breath."
That is, the spectacle's barbarity and its intimidation of the sideline viewer was foremost in his mind.
From that perspective, "designed to look deadly" is an illustrative example of the one trick pony that Adolf and Germany had wagered everything on, and onto which he and his clique held on dearly, despite circumstances calling for more effective, less flashy, solutions.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog ... -fetishism'What makes a sexy Nazi?' one respondent noted that:
A well cared for athletic, mature female body, subtly made up fair skin and hard steely blue eyes, long dark hair gathered up carefully in a high ponytail. She is very stylish and well groomed, a pristine women's tailored Black SS uniform laid out for her on the bed beside her as she sits gracefully at her dressing table in her delicate, demure lingerie and Fully fashioned seamed and Cuban heel Nylons leaning elegantly forward and to the side to pull up the zips on her gleaming almost mirror polished Black Leather 5" heel knee boots. Her visor cap, Black Leather Gloves, 4ft bull whip and SS officer's belt on her pillow along with the heavy Leather holster that shrouds her 9mm P38. The interest in Nazi role-playing and the Nazi fetish is for most people (I can't vouch for everyone), is a stimulating response to strong imagery, well tailored uniforms, and notions of power and fear”.

Hello, Mr. Rojas!Robert Rojas wrote:Howdy B.D.V.! Well sir, in respect to your posting of Monday - October 15, 2018 - 8:29am, old yours truly must duly concede that you clearly do broach brother South's creation from the both the mutual perspectives of Joseph Goebbels Ministry of Truth and Enlightenment and, inadvertently, the advertising scions of Madison Avenue in New York City. Like sex, both armaments and martial rhetoric obviously sells! So, in the spirit of magnanimity, might we agree that brother South's creation's ought to be ensconced within the realm of the PROPAGANDA, CULTURE AND ARCHITECTURE section of the forum?
