Obviously still to be confirmed...but perhaps everyone can chill the fuck out for a bit.

And at least two of the authors conclusions/hypothesis can be applied directly to the disaster in Gaza (whatever your views), and the ghastly behavioural of the Trump administration. (This might have been obvious to you but as I always say, I’m not an academic.) 2

Although the focus is upon Germany’s colonial wars, Franco-Prussian and FWW you can see the lingering impact in the SWW. And why the stab-in-the-back myth (actually shorter in German) had such traction. 1

I have just finished reading this extraordinary book. Instructive, thought provoking, pick the well worn cliché. If you’re interested German military of the FWW or SWW you have to read it. Quite brilliant.

A book with a black and white photograph on the cover of a soldier in a tattered uniform. The book is sitting on a bright orange background. The book is called Absolute Destruction, written by Isabel Hull, published by Cornell University Press 2005.

There's a social media scam featuring AI-generated injured soldiers shilling moody goods. Be on the lookout. Great story from Nick Stapleton for BBC Morning Live. AI detection and sense-checking from me and @shayan86.bsky.social

It does but with the idiotic state of law enforcement here one never knows.

People who know better than me are suggesting farm diesel or diesel heating oil theft. Whatever we look like muppets.

Full disclosure I was infuriated. People who are smarter than me are suggesting farm diesel or domestic heating oil theft.

Unless there is a damned good reason for this decision it is absolutely outrageous. And we are entitled to know that reason. We look like clowns.

Absolutely correct Erik. We are normalising, tolerating hatred.

Extraordinary. Someone was either dishonest or didn’t pay attention.

You’re absolutely correct. However AfD opposition is entirely malevolent. I imagine the CDU are hitching their battered wagon to the Jewish opposition.

Elsewhere it has been reported that members of the Jewish community thought it was disrespectful to step on the memorials. It brought to my mind that there is opposition to invasive archaeological investigations of the KL sites by some religiously observant Jews.

As you know I’m neither academic nor historian. Do you provide a list of suggested, trusted sources? Or point the students in the right direction and rely upon them using thinking skills and judgment in their studies?
