Tod Ss: Fill & Download for Free

Nazi Germany was not radically irreligious like Soviet Union was. Nazi Germany was Neo-Pagan by its nature - vehemently Anti-Christian and Anti-Judaist, and leaned on Aryan religions. India Romanticism was in very high course among the Nazis, as was Germanic mythology. The weirdest Nazi sub-organization must have been the Ahnenerbe.This issue is very well dealt in William Shirer’s “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”. It ought to be the paradigmatic opus on dealing and analyzing the Nazi regime.Himmler banned Atheists joining the SS simply because the Atheist movement was controlled by the Communists those days. If you declared to be an Atheist, you were automatically taken as a Communist. Himmler instead insisted the Pagan nature of SS. There were no priests nor chaplains in the SS, and all Christian rites were forbidden. The only unit where there were religious activity was 13. Waffen-Division Handschar, which was recruited from Balkan Muslims, and they had a field mufti. See Ideology of the SS - WikipediaWhenever an SS soldier died, a cross was never erected on his grave, but instead an upward pointed arrow.The birth date is marked with Algiz rune (Leben) and death with Yr (Tod) rune - never with a cross. See Runic insignia of the Schutzstaffel - Wikipedia.I know most Atheists hate Christianity like plague, but at least they could be honest with history.

Oh yes, absolutely, orders similar to Stalin’s Order No.227 have been issued many many times in history! Here I’m gonna give just one single most relevant and ironic example.A little introduction first: On the 28th of July 1942 when the German summer offensive of 1942, code-named Case Blue, was in full swing, the Wehrmacht was advancing rapidly toward Stalingrad, the Red Army made headlong retreats all over the southern front, its soldiers surrendered in growing numbers. To reestablish discipline in the Soviet Army against Nazi Germany, Stalin issued Order No.227 which gave birth to the famous slogan "Not a step back!".But what if the soldiers still took a step back? Or ten steps back? What would Stalin do about it? Order No.227 also gave birth to the creation of “blocking detachments”. They were well-armed defensive squads which were “put directly behind unstable divisions … to shoot in place panic-mongers and cowards who retreated without authorization”.So if a Red Army soldier moved forward, he’d be killed by German bullets whereas if he retreated, he’d be killed by his comrades’ bullets. What a sad pickle.Ironically, on the 30th of January 1945, when the Red Army was already fighting in German soils, Heinrich Himmler - The Reichsfuhrer SS - found himself imitated Stalin’s ‘Not one step back’ order of 1942 although his version did not have the same ring. It was entitled ‘Tod und Strafe für Pflichtvergessenheit’ which means ‘Death and punishment for failure to carry out one’s duty’. This order got Hitler’s full backing, which was no surprise since Himmler was his oldest, closest and most loyal ally.To enforce this order, Himmler and Hitler gave the Feldgendarmerie (military police) the exact same jobs as those of the Soviet blocking detachments. The Feldgend-armerie never saw any fighting, they stayed safely in the rear with their gear and snatched anybody who retreated, threw them back to the hellish front line or executed them in place. Many German refugees were horrified when they marched past ‘gallows alleys’ where SS and Feldgendarmerie had hanged deserters. Placards had been tied around their necks, such as ‘I was a coward but died just the same’ or ‘Here I hang because I did not believe in the Führer.’No official records were kept of the summary execution of deserters carried out by the Feldgendarmerie, but anecdotal evidence suggests that on the XI SS Corps sector, many, including a number of Hitler Youth, were hanged from trees on the flimsiest of proof. Many German soldiers were genuinely trying to rejoin their units (after their home leaves, sick leaves, getting lost …) when they’re grabbed and executed by the Feldgendarmerie. Soviet reports claimed that the Feldgendarmerie summarily executed about 25,000 Germans for cowardice in 1945 alone. German soldiers were now on the Soviet shoes.

A tricky question.The usual answer is 26: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z. The same collection as in English, and in the same order.However, German uses four additional symbols: ä ö ü ß (the last of which only recently acquired a capitalised version ẞ).But they aren’t considered separate letters of the alphabet, with their very own place in alphabetical order.How exactly they are treated depends on how you are sorting — basically, there’s the “phonebook” method and the “dictionary” method.The “phonebook” method treats ä ö ü ß as equivalent to the digraphs ae oe ue ss; this has the advantage that names such as Müller and Mueller or Rossmann and Roßmann will sort next to each other (both pairs of spellings are in use).The “dictionary” method treats ä ö ü ß as equivalent to the single letters a o u s; this has the advantage that derivations such as tödlich sort close to the base word such as Tod.So: the German alphabet has 26 letters, but German writing uses more than 26 (or even 52, allowing for capitalisation) distinct symbols.
