I’m savouring a tumbler of Italian brandy and looking at trees of ripe lemons, tangerines and oranges lining the streets.

The feeling is like I’m a character from that old song about Christmas in the tropics, where Santa sails in with presents in a canoe.

Merry Christmas, CoSo —

@GalgosRGreat Before there can be peace the rabid Kremlin rat must be strangled

The future Marshall Goering was wounded in Hitler’s failed putsch of 1924 in Munich, and the only thing to save him from being arrested on the spot was a Jewish family who pulled him off the street, treated his bullet wound and smuggled him off to Austria, where he hid from justice until Hitler came to power.

Blocks of apartment buildings in Kherson are under heavy artillery shelling right now.

😖

When is this midget scumbag going to get his deserts?

Ukrainians start the Christmas Day with air raid alerts all across the country.

This is Russia’s way to wish a “brotherly nation” some very merry holidays

Now try not to see it 😁

I accidentally missed three phone calls from my mom through being asleep, and now the cops are pulling my bus over

@Jezibaba Such a gent lol

And the man to later take on the role of “intellectual and philosophical leader” of the Nazi party, Chief editor of Hitler’s daily Voelkischer Beobachter newspaper?

Hold on to your butts, gentlemen.

Alfred Rosenberg who went under the nickname “the Russian”. Born in Czarist Empire in Estonia, a graduate of the University of Moscow, lived in Moscow through the Bolshevik Revolution and planned to join them, but ended up in Munich instead as an activist in White Russian émigré circles.

The creators of the Nazi party in Germany:

- Anton Drexler (an uneducated alcoholic)
- Dietrich Eckart (an unsuccessful playwright, patient of a mental institution)
- Gottfried Feder (an economics crank with outrageous theories)
- Ernst Roehm (a closet homosexual and psychotic army bully, whom Hitler will later execute)
- Adolf Hitler (a school dropout, fake painter, failed architecture enrollee)

Little known fact — for a very brief moment in time in 1919 following Germany’s defeat in WWI, Bavaria was proclaimed a “Soviet Republic” by the commies who swooped in to fill a sudden political vacuum in Munich by seizing the city hall and executing a few dozen hostages.

They were quickly eliminated in turn by regular army troops dispatched to Munich. Several hundred were shot, including non-communists, sadly.

@Mister_Pim Are you looking for a suggestion? I can’t see which thread you’re commenting on 🤔

The Rise and Fall Of The 3rd Reich by William L Shirer — a comprehensive and compact account for those who already know much about Germany in the period between 1918-1945 but want a quick systematisation of their knowledge.

I liked it, would recommend.

Finally (for today), An Immense World by Ed Young — absolutely delightful and brilliantly written. A treasure trove of fascinating, insightful information on the sensory perceptions of animals, insects, sea dwellers and birds. A delight, you won’t be able to put it down

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

While on the bus I read a book called The Ones We’re Meant To Find by Joan He and found it alright.

Yeah, I’d probably recommend it.
