Video: Hitler: The Nightmares of an Emperor
When a man is as extremely powerful as Hitler was, he lives in a nightmare. I discuss an aspect of his character that all his enemies misrepresent in order to make him appear to be evil and demented.
Some time late last night (saturday), my internet here went down. I logged a ticket with the company. They told me that the tower serving my area is without power.
I dashed off to a Portuguese shop nearby this morning, and was surprised to find that the shop had no electricity and they were running off a generator.
Yesterday, in the early evening, our area was also without electricity.
We’re in the midst of a "cold wave" (which would NOT be regarded as actual cold in Europe or Canada!). So I suspect there was an increase in the use of heaters, etc and that may have added to the problems. So the country, as usual, is breaking for problems that Europeans or North Americans would have solved with ease!!!!
White Shop: A Handful of Hard Men: The SAS and the Battle for Rhodesia
It is difficult to find another soldiers story to equal Watts in terms of time spent on the field of battle and challenges faced. Even by the lofty standards of the SAS and Special Forces, one has to look far to find anyone who can match his record of resilience and valor in the face of such daunting odds and with resources so paltry.
