Do you have something you have a weird fascination with?
I do it would have to be Hitler and the second world war, if there is a documentary on about Hitler or world war two I have to watch it, in fact one of my favourite channels is the History channel and in fact I am watching something called History’s Verdict and this episode is about Hitler………………….
I don’t know what it is about Hitler and the Second World War that fascinates me but it does, maybe it is because I can’t get my head around why he hated the Jews so much or if he really thought he could create a new race…………..come on was the man delusional or what…………….
I am also fascinated about Australia’s role in the Second World War and love watching documentaries about Australia and the Second World War. I wish I knew more about my grandfather and his service during the war, but it was not something he would talk about and in fact I know very little.
I do love history in general and love watching shows about Australia’s history but do not thing there are enough around although I have watched many shows since getting the History channel on here in the last few years………….

You are an interesting person!
Thank you
It will be interesting to read what you find out. My mother grew up during those times so my interest lies in the German home front and what it was like for those that had no say in the war and only heard the propaganda. My mother seldom talked of those times and I never pressured her because I knew from the little she said it was a terrible time. I never realized how much Australia did play in WWII until my interest grew for that time in history. Very interesting indeed.
I have seen a couple of documentaries about what it was like for the adverage person living in German and it makes you think about those people in a different light, yes some thought Hitler was just so great but many felt helpless they didn’t agree but if they spoke out they would end up in prision of murdered so the said nothing and tried to just go with the flow……………
To the day my mother passed away she was always fearful of the neighbors hearing us if we would disagree with the president or government and fearful of the police, it took a neighbor who happened to be a detective to calm her fears – but it was still there. There are more stories…but it is so sad how so many had to live under fear, death and destruction.
I think it is sad that so many people don’t realise how it was for adverage person as you said many lived in fear for many years even after the war…….
