Nearly a lifetime of research and study by a veteran of World War II reveals the major political and military errors and mistakes which caused the greatest catastrophe in world history, almost lost the struggle with the greatest evil the world has ever known, failed to end the conflict in a decisive victory for the survival of freedom and democracy, subjected the world to almost half a century of fear and turmoil in the Cold War, and wasted vast world resources on armaments while hundreds of millions of people suffered from hunger, illness and death. This comprehensive analysis of the major issues and campaigns of World War II concentrates on what went wrong with the conduct of the war which needlessly prolonged its brutal end resulting in greatly increased suffering and death and shockingly reveals how desperately narrow was the margin between victory and defeat. The author convincingly concludes that only if nationalism yields to the enforcement of international law can the worldwide devastation of mass destruction be avoided. But the good news is that recent developments in international cooperation clearly indicates that the overwhelming majority of the nations of the world now recognize that world peace can only prevail under the enforcement of international law. Thus it is imperative that the United States must now exert the necessary leadership for the execution of a Treaty for ther Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes as the only effective means of maintaining world peace and avoiding a nuclear holocaust.

During the first two years of World War I a German general called from obscure retirement, Paul Von Hindenburg, aided by his deputy, Erich Ludendorff, won imperial fame from his successful campaigns on the eastern front. In 1916 Kaiser Wilhelm named Hindenburg to head the all-powerful Great German Staff with Ludendorff his deputy. At first all went well. But as food and other resources including replacements diminished, and as America entered the war, the top command increasingly panicked. In the summer of 1918 German armies in the west opened an all-out defensive. This failed and German surrender followed-as did the fall of the German empire.

Th e author has always been interested in military history, especially that of WW II. Th e fact that the relatively small nation state of Germany, still suff ering greatly from the effects of a lost war in 1918, a vicious run-away infl ation in 1923, and the world wide Great Depression that aff ected them most drastically, could, in 1939 and 1940 militarily defeat the combined eff orts of the most powerful nations of Europe, was a puzzlement that had to be explained. Th is examination revealed more than a German nation of war-like propensity engaging in bad behavior - much more. Th e hard-over dedication of the people of Germany to the program of Adolf Hitler was fueled by a combination of historic and contemporary eff ects that all peaked in a social chaotic wave in the 1920s and 1930s. But the most important of these eff ects was the creation, by Adolf Hitler and others, of the new religion of Naziism in Germany, starting weakly in the 1920s and gaining power and scope throughout the 1930s. By 1940, thanks to the Nazi religion incorporated into German life as the “society of the German people (the folk)” and a splendid and overwhelming German military machine, the full belief in Adolf Hitler as the modern Savior of Germany by the large majority of the German people was a reality. Hitler took full advantage of this fact, and the dedication of the German fi ghting man to the modern German Messiah resulted in a personal fanaticism and dedication to duty seldom seen in history.

For many years, Germany has been confronted with the need for political, economic and societal change. In recent federal and state election, the two major political parties have seen an erosion of their electoral acceptance, while newcomers like “Die Linke” (the leftist) party, with strong roots in East Germany, are gaining strength. Problems created by the worldwide financial crisis are exacerbated in Germany by high welfare costs, above average benefits and abundant vacation time, as well as a general entitlement mentality, resisting badly needed change. Help comes from an unexpected quarter: East Germany. In fact, the East German people had to learn tough lessons, living through the experience of two political systems and having to deal with much adversity in the process. Recently, however, a healthy self-confidence and defiant resourcefulness has reappeared after a long period of frustration, hopelessness, and resignation. New developments in the political, economic, and socio-cultural area seem to be harbingers of welcome transformation, which may give the East German people the opportunity to become agents of change toward a new Germany.

Germany has acquired a widespread reputation as an aggressor. But this is largely a case of historical myopia. Certainly in the mid-20th Century Germany was guilty of major aggression under the leadership of the Nazis. But during the 1000 years prior to Hitler the Germans were more often the victims of aggression rather than the perpetrators. Settling in the middle of the North European Plain is like camping out in the middle of an inter-state freeway. The Germans have been attacked again and again usually from the West or the East, but also from the North and the South. They have no defensible natural borders except the Alps in the South and the seas in the North. The once proud German Empire of the 13th Century was pummeled into a shattered collection of some 380 sovereign states by the 18th Century. There really was no “Germany” from the 13th Century to 1871. This brief study is the author’s reflection on German history after 30 years of university teaching. It attempts to look at the tempestuous history of Germany in the perspective of 1000 years of history, from Pepin the Short to Kohl the large. This perspective reveals the Germans to be indeed victims of Geography. They, like the Poles, have suffered from a tremendous geographic disadvantage.

Early Germans played an important part in the settlement of early America. They purchased land. They built factories, not to speak of their composing and artistic talents. They were hardworking and thrifty. During the time of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, large settlements of Germans were in the same state, Virginia, at the same time. They travelled freely from Pennslyvania to Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina, following early roads through the Shenandoah Valley. To these early German Pioneers we owe much.

At the close of the fifteenth century came a talented young man from a small German village whose only ambition was to serve God as a musician. Lorenz Lemlin was a gifted singer and player of the lute, but he was destined to become much more. Providence led him to Heidelberg where he eventually became an instrumental figure at the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. From the lofty ramparts of the Heidelberg Castle, he was poised to watch history unfold around him. He was surrounded by scenes such as Martin Luther’s defiance of Rome and subsequent trial at Worms, the bloody Peasants’ Rebellion, and a sympathetic ruler who embraced Luther’s doctrines. In Heidelberg, Lemlin finds God’s will for his life in the ministry of music at the court of Elector Ludwig V. While attending the university, Lorenz meets Liesl Gunter, a pretty tailor’s daughter with whom he shares happiness and sorrow. Their eventual love is deceitfully stolen from them, but each finds strength in God’s love for the dangerous and lonely challenges that lay ahead.

Is it enough to insist that Germans were free, ultimately, either to refuse or go along with the Nazification of their society -- holding up as evidence of this freedom the relatively few who did attempt to subvert the process? Should the Holocaust itself be attributed to ideologically-driven will, on individual and collective levels? Can the conditions for its occurrence be traced to political "choices" made in the course of Germany's development, in its national character-formation? In short, is there a moral culpability here that can be identified and set into its proper categories, the roots of the evil named and thereby differentiated from forces of "Life"? Or is the Final Solution in fact a window onto some more fundamental or general catastrophe? In these Notes, William Thomas examines how interpretation of the Holocaust usually functions as a conceptual-moral buffering, e.g., in using it as an occasion for the reaffirmation of favored ideological or philosophical views -- as if we might after all gain a certain benefit from it... But there is no benefit, Thomas suggests; the catastrophe is endless -- thus no affirmation of life is possible now, without "euphemizing" the impact of the Final Solution and what was revealed in it...

A compelling and evocative history of an ordinary 21st century American family detailing its varied and diverse historical and cultural elements through out history. An enthralling journey through time and culture giving a strong narrative account of the similar Germanic roots of many American families. Using records and tools as varied as archeology, anthropology, ethnology, etymology, geology, mythology, legends and historical documentation, Scales embarks on a fascinating quest to link together the pieces of a vast jigsaw of the forgotten Germanic heritage of many American families while developing a chronological framework to historical events and family bloodlines. With an astonishing insight into the cultural effects of the travels and historical events of our founding fathers, more than a dozen separate family lines are identified with their earliest American ancestors and which part of the ancient Germanic world those families came from. Reaching as far back into the origin of the Cimbrians and Teutanians, early Celtic peoples known as Germanic Tribes coming down from the Alps, where Switzerland is now located, to their arrival in Germany then on to the shores of the American colonies, sets a framework for the detailed history of the Germanic people who’s blood still runs in many American veins.
