It somehow looks highly unlikely that a...
Hello Bellona,
What you mention is very interesting, in many ways. Do you know where in China you were?
Because, as you may know, I currently live in China and have taken an interest in researching the local history there. I have found that German advisers were quite involved on the Chinese...
Hello everyone!
Special thanks to you both, Ocean and helz-belz for your kind words.
Since I have posted my initial message on this board almost two years ago, I have received nothing but kind words. If anything, I am most grateful that my personal outlook on this strange adventure is...
Bonjour Sophophile!
A ma connaissance nous sommes quelques membres français à avoir partagé sur ce forum, même si j'ai tendance à être très peu actif ces derniers temps, étant très occupé par mon travail et mes projets personnels. Vous pouvez néanmoins trouver mes posts et le sujet que j'ai...
Hello!
Indeed there will always be sparks, and I can tell you than many here are waiting for it. I hope you will forgive my desire to keep my political comments to myself (I do not want any trouble!) but there are a lot of things I could say about the culture, and how I view it after spending...
Hello everyone!
It's been a while since there was some activity on this thread, and also on my part - I was not very active on the forum.
I'm glad the long story I shared here continues to leave food for thoughts to fellow members!
I will answer several messages hereafter:
Hello Albert! The...
Hello Terri,
What a sad, sad news. I had wonderful conversations with your father and I am sending you and your family all my warm thoughts. I will remember his kindness and hindsight, and am sure that from where he is, he is keeping a watchful eye on you all.
For what it's worth, it is today...
****, you'll be surprised, but I grew up 20 kms away from the Royallieu-Compiègne camp and it was never mentioned by anyone, ever, during my childhood.
I guess you could say we have a very selective memory when it comes to our local history.
Hello Jajac,
My poor you, those are terrible things you remember.
Coming from France, and having had the urge and desire to visit the places in France that are related to the Holocaust, I can give you some personal reflections regarding some city names or places you describe:
- Were you to...
Hello Sk17, I discovered your posts and am happy that you found in this thread some relief, knowing that you are not the only one to remember being in the hellhole that was Stalingrad.
I did find your posts regarding the burden of remembering very relatable to my experience, although I have to...
I don't know if more souls wish to be born as females, but just this morning I read that there is a 1.07 ratio males/females being born these past years, due to various factors..
And I smiled at the image you used (the roses), as I am the kind of man to pay so much attention to the roses that I...
Hello Funteafuntea,
A warm welcome to you !
Sadly, yes, wars and the horrors associates with it leave scars on our souls. I’m afraid you are not alone, and won’t be the last to be burdened with those dark memories.
I encourage you to browse the forum and read the threads of fellow members...
Hello everyone, after many quiet months without posting on this thread, I wanted to update it after finding a very interesting testimony that I will post here.
A bit more information about the context: at the time, Eugen was commanding the 3-SS-Panzerregiment "Totenkopf". The only Panzer...
Aside from General Patton's beliefs in reincarnation, I found out in a book I am reading that he was not the only high-ranked officer who was vocal about it: Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding, who oversaw the Fighter Command's defence of the UK airspace during the Battle of Britain, claimed that he...
Hey,
Just wanted to give you a more developed testimony of my experience with these chemicals. And how I ended up giving these up and living a life without them.
I was prescribed antidepressants and anxiolytics after a very long and acute depressive episode that led me to give up on everything...
