Honest Reactions to "I want a baby"

Do I feel bad after creating this? No, but I'm planning to do more of them because I LOVE making these.

Please take this as a joke.

Lass mich das machen Hans

That this true to life emotional scene in Downfall was resigned to the “Making of Downfall” clips was a travesty considering some of the scenes which made it into the extended edition.

Burgdorf’s outburst of anger towards Bormann and other party leaders (and Kreb’s intervention) is mentioned in Joachim Fest’s Inside Hitler’s Bunker (2002)

Obsessed with this review in Spanish of Tor Bormann-Larsen's biography on Amundsen.

Basically it goes like this:

"God, it took me months to finish this book!!! Not because it was badly written. I think it's the most objective biography of this gentleman who called himself a polar adventurer just for having the title. An immature dude that, besides having delusions of grandeur, fancied himself the one and best polar explorer. The way this guy was able to sell his ideas and get people to sponsor all his enterprises that he believed had exclusive rights to left me with a bitter taste. He betrayed his mentors, friends, and family. He did all sorts of scams. Only hooking up with married women. Nowadays, no one would pay for even his bus ticket. In the end, he tries to play victim once again, dragging with him 5 more people. A clown till the end. This is nothing but a reminder that how a person, aside from the glory, fame and the capitalization of such a significant enterprise as scientific exploration, isn't better than a regular person that leads a quiet life contributing to society. They all hide their skeletons in their closet. But this guy, I can conclude, while he had the ability to survive the polar weather, for activities as equally as complex, like human relationships and science, was fucking useless. I have had enough of this wanker...a fucking disappointment".

It's so rare to come across reviews of polar exploration books in Spanish cos most of them aren't translated* so really caught my eye. Also she shits on Roald SO hard but still gives the book a 4 star review 😆

*More than willing and able to fill that gap btw 🙋

The dirty business of war

[deutschland-im-krieg]

An Arado Ar 96 (not this one) was the last plane flown out of Berlin in WW2. The great Hanna Reitsch was the pilot and her passenger was Robert Ritter von Greim. Greim was ordered to Berlin and Hanna flew him in through Russian fire in a Fieseler Fi 156 Storch (Stork) on 26.4.45.

The plane was hit and damaged but she landed it safely. Hitler then promoted von Greim to Generalfeldmarshal and new chief of the by now non existent Luftwaffe. This situation was masterminded by Martin Bormann, who convinced Hitler that Reichsmarshall Hermann Göring was a traitor and had him arrested and dismissed.

Reitsch pleaded with Hitler to allow her to fly him out of Berlin but the Führer refused. Reitsch wanted to stay with Hitler in the Führerbunker. However, Hitler ordered her to leave on 29.4.45. As the Fi 156 Storch she flew in was too damaged to fly out, the Arado Ar 96 was the last flyable plane available in Berlin to fly out. For more, see my Facebook group - Eagles Of The Reich

At what point in my life did I decide that the visualization of pain, rage and despair is a half-dead horse? However, I like her.
