Goebbels was more than a Nazi. He was pure evil, and he dedicated all his life and, indeed, death to Adolf Hitler. As minister of propaganda, he was probably the most powerful of Hitler’s henchmen; with the propaganda tools at his disposal, he was able to brainwash and persuade the general population.

No one in their right mind will argue that Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest states men in US and World History. However his moral values weren’t as pure as many people think they were. But in my view that probably makes him even a greater leader then he has been given credit for.

Yes this will be a blog, no this will not be one of those preachy ones. I am not a smoker in fact I never had a cigarette, so I will not tell people what to do. Although It is a well known fact at this stage smoking is bad for you, but so are

Below is a rare picture of Hitler briefing his top brass. For years they claimed to know nothing about the Holocaust. But extraordinary secret recordings – made by the British – explode that myth. Between 1942 and 1945, MI-19, a division of the British Directorate of Military Intelligence, created a number of Combined Services Detailed

I know what you are thinking—another forgotten atrocity committed by the Nazi regime though you would be wrong. This massacre was carried out by the ‘good’ guys.

The massacre that took place in Slonim on November 14, 1941, stands as one of the many tragic and brutal episodes in the systematic annihilation of Jewish communities across Eastern Europe during the Holocaust. Located in what is now western Belarus, Slonim was home to a vibrant and historically significant Jewish population before the German

I am a fan of the Netflix series The Last Kingdom, which presents a dramatized portrayal of the life of Uhtred of Bamburgh, a figure rooted in early medieval England.
