Video & Audio: Why Hitler admired the Romans more than the German Tribes
I take a look at what Hitler thought about the German tribes and the results of Himmlers archaeological finds. I discuss Hitlers very surprising views on Charlemagnes crushing of Widukind and the Saxons.
On 24th November 2020 I went to my post box to check for mail. It’s my weekly ritual, and this entire year I’ve received maybe only 2 letters – because of COVID lockdowns and the total uselessness of South Africa along with strikes, etc.
Anyhow, I saw a letter in the box and took it home and opened it. To my amazement upon closer inspection the letter inside was dated 19th February 2020. It was a letter from the USA!
It’s the first time in my life that a letter has taken over 9 months to get to me! I have experienced waits of 2 or 3 months … but never 9 months.
I suspect that the majority of the wait was in South Africa and it was probably due to a combination of lockdowns and strikes!
But there you have it … a letter from the USA to South Africa … 9 months!!!
That’s how damned dysfunctional SA is!!!
White Shop: Solitaire (one player) Board Game: Caesar: The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire
In Solitaire Caesar, the Player commands Roman forces attempting to build an empire that will last as long as possible. Threats come from a variety of Civilized and Uncivilized Barbarian (non-Roman)opponents, while the internal stability of the empire is reduced. A typical game should take about 60 minutes to play.
