Was It Ever Possible For Germany To Win World War 2?

Yes. In fact, in the 1939-40 war against the original allies of France, Poland and Great Britain, Germany did win. 

Today, we see these victories as inevitabilities. To the world in 1940, they were nothing short of unimaginable. These victories are not just tactical:

-Poland ceases to exist; 
-France’s Third Republic is replaced by the Nazi collaborationist Vichy government; 
-Great Britain’s forces are pushed off the continent, barely clinging to survival. 

By the summer of 1940, Hitler’s stage-by-stage plan (‘Stufenplan’) as dreamed in the 1920’s is coming to fruition:]\

– Austria, Bohemia and Poland are now part of Greater Germany.
 – France and the Treaty of Versailles are neutralized.
 – The British, Hitler believes, are finished and will soon negotiate.

The world’s first gym machines designed by Dr. Gustav Zander, 1892

The use of mechanical means for the application of exercise in therapeutics was first systematized and employed in a complete way by Dr, Gustav Zander, of Stockholm, about 1857. Zander’s vision of regular exertion using machines to honor health and well-being was certainly a novel idea in an age when the rising industrialization and mechanization moved millions of people into a more sedentary life.

How To Stop Eating Out And Save Money

how to stop eating out

Holy shit at the money people spend on food!

And I was the exact same way when I landed my first job out of college. You know what I’m talking about–biscuit and Starbucks on the way to work, lunch out with coworkers and pizza and beer at the local tavern for dinner! Every night! All week! Professional money spender! And more beers and dinners on the weekends! Woohoo!

Wait. Where did all my money go? And how the hell did I gain 40 pounds in six months? If you’re nodding your head you’ve fallen into the brand-new-job-big-salary-eat-out-because-I-can trap. And you have to stop it. It’s killing your bank account, it’s killing your financial freedom and it’s killing you. (Literally–I was on the edge of type 2 diabetes and had hyperglycemia during routine physicals.)

Why Doesn’t Batman Kill The Joker?

why doesnt batman kill

The Joker and Batman are each trying to prove a point to society – and really to us, the readers.

The Joker wants Batman to kill him because he perfectly embodies chaos and anarchy and wants to prove a point to everyone that people are basically more chaotic than orderly.

This is why he is so scary: we are worried he may be right.

If the Joker is right, then civilization is a ruse and we are all truly monsters inside. If the Joker can prove that Batman – the most orderly and logical and self-controlled of all of us – is a monster inside, then we are all monsters inside, and that is terrifying.
