pWotD Episode 2906: Schutzstaffel Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 7,919,078 views on Wednesday, 16 April 2025 our article of the day is Schutzstaffel.The Schutzstaffel (German: [ˈʃʊtsˌʃtafl̩] ; lit. 'Protection Squadron'; SS; also stylised with SS runes as ᛋᛋ) was a major paramilitary organisation under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II.It began with a small guard unit known as the Saal-Schutz ("Hall Security") made up of party volunteers to provide security for party meetings in Munich. In 1925, Heinrich Himmler joined the unit, which had by then been reformed and given its final name. Under his direction (1929–1945) it grew from a small paramilitary formation during the Weimar Republic to one of the most powerful organisations in Nazi Germany. From the time of the Nazi Party's rise to power until the regime's collapse in 1945, the SS was the foremost agency of security, mass surveillance, and state terrorism within Germany and German-occupied Europe.The two main constituent groups were the Allgemeine SS (General SS) and Waffen-SS (Armed SS). The Allgemeine SS was responsible for enforcing the racial policy of Nazi Germany and general policing, whereas the Waffen-SS consisted of the combat units of the SS, with a sworn allegiance to Hitler. A third component of the SS, the SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV; "Death's Head Units"), ran the concentration camps and extermination camps. Additional subdivisions of the SS included the Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) organisations. They were tasked with the detection of actual or potential enemies of the Nazi state, the neutralisation of any opposition, policing the German people for their commitment to Nazi ideology, and providing domestic and foreign intelligence.The SS was the organisation most responsible for the genocidal murder of an estimated 5.5 to 6 million Jews and millions of other victims during the Holocaust. Members of all of its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during World War II (1939–45). The SS was also involved in commercial enterprises and exploited concentration camp inmates as slave labour. After Nazi Germany's defeat, the SS and the Nazi Party were judged by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg to be criminal organisations. Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the highest-ranking surviving SS main department chief, was found guilty of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials and hanged in 1946.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 07:34 UTC on Thursday, 17 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Schutzstaffel on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

Waffen-SS var SS-statens militära gren som, från att ha varit en mindre styrka fungerande som livvakter åt Adolf Hitler i början av 1930-talet, vid slutet av andra världskriget hade vuxit till ett stort antal fältdivisioner med närmare 800 000 soldater.Även om Waffen-SS aldrig utgjorde mer än 10 procent av den tyska krigsmakten under andra världskriget har organisationen ändå tilldragit sig stor uppmärksamhet. Vad Waffen-SS egentligen var är inte helt enkelt att reda ut. Bilden av ett elitförband bestående av ariska män, uppfyllda av nazistisk ideologi, är missvisande.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden ger sig Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved i kast med det på många sätt svåra ämnet om SS-statens militära gren, Waffen-SS. Svårigheten ligger i de många krigsbrott och massmord som soldater från Waffen-SS gjorde sig skyldiga till under andra världskriget. För många är Waffen-SS synonymt med ondska.Inom Nazityskland byggde Heinrich Himmler upp ett parallellsamhälle av vad han menade skulle vara en arisk elit. SS, en förkortning av Schutzstaffel, var inledningsvis ingenting annat än en samling män som skulle skydda den nazistiska organisationen och dess ledare, Adolf Hitler. Så småningom byggdes organisationen ut och fick en egen underrättelseverksamhet samt en egen vapengren, Waffen-SS. Till organisationen hörde även koncentrationslägren. SS blev på allvar den mäktigaste organisationen efter att SA tvingats till underkastelse 1934, efter en intern maktkamp inom naziströrelsen. SS organiserade och ledde Förintelsen.Waffen-SS växte avsevärt under kriget, och några av de bäst utrustade och slagkraftigaste förbanden i den tyska krigsmakten var SS-pansardivisionerna. Dock kantades deras krigföring av ständiga krigsbrott på i stort sett alla fronter där de sattes in. Andelen frivilliga och tvångsrekryterade inom Waffen-SS ökade, och vid krigets slut var ungefär 50 % av dess manskap icke-tyskar, rekryterade från Europas alla hörn – inklusive de nordiska länderna.Bild: SS-Brigadeführer Jürgen Stroop (i mitten) ser på medan bostadskvarter brinner under kampen mot det judiska upproret i Warszawas getto.

Auch fast 80 Jahre nach Ende des NS-Regimes ist die Unkenntnis über die Schutzstaffel noch groß. Was war diese Organisation? Welche Rolle spielte sie im NS-System? Wer waren ihre Mitglieder? Für welche Verbrechen war die SS verantwortlich? Antworten auf diese Fragen gibt Prof. Dr. Jan Erik Schulte von der Gedenkstätte Hadamar und der Ruhr-Universität Bochum im Gespräch mit Oberst PD Dr. John Zimmermann vom ZMSBw. Die Entstehung der SchutzstaffelDie SS war eine nationalsozialistische Organisation in der Weimarer Republik und der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus, die vor allem Adolf Hitler als Herrschafts- und Unterdrückungsinstrument diente. Die SS wurde am 4. April 1925 von Hitler als persönliche Leibgarde in München gegründet, übte aber zudem den parteiinternen „Polizeidienst“ aus. Sie unterstand zunächst der SA. Der sogenannte Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler war ab 1927 entscheidend für die Ausformung als Macht- und Terrorinstrument. Am 30. Juni 1934 liquidierte die SS im Rahmen des sogenannten Röhm-Putsches die Führung der SA. Als Ergebnis dieser Aktionen erreichte die SS die Eigenständigkeit innerhalb der NSDAP. Da sie sich bereits als „Parteipolizei“ etabliert hatte, gelang es ihr, die Kontrolle über das gesamte deutsche Polizeiwesen zu erlangen und mit der Waffen-SS eine militärische Funktion neben der Wehrmacht zu übernehmen. Das Terrorinstrument der NaziherrschaftIm NS-Staat war die SS das zentrale Organ für Terror- und Unterdrückung. In ihren Verantwortungsbereich fielen ab 1934 Betrieb und Verwaltung von Konzentrations-, ab 1941 auch von Vernichtungslagern. Sie war sowohl an der Planung als auch an der Durchführung des Holocaust und an iderer Völkermorde vorrangig beteiligt. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs war sie mit ihren unterschiedlichen Gliederungen darüber hinaus maßgeblich verantwortlich für beispiellose Kriegsverbrechen und Verbrechen gegen die Zivilbevölkerung im Deutschen Reich und im besetzten Europa. Seit Kriegsende war sie verboten und wurde in den Nürnberger Prozessen als verbrecherische Organisation eingestuft. Die GesprächspartnerJan-Erik Schulte (geboren 1966) ist seit 2014 Leiter der Gedenkstätte Hadamar in Hessen und nach Abschluss seiner Habilitation lehrt er seit 2016 als Privatdozent und seit 2023 als außerplanmäßiger Professor an seiner Alma mater, der Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind die Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus und des Holocaust, Internationale Geschichte und die Erinnerungskultur nach 1945 sowie Kanadische Zeitgeschichte. Er ist Verfasser und Herausgeber mehreren Arbeiten zur Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus und insbesondere der SS, zuletzt veröffentlichte er die Arbeit „Mahnort SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungs-hauptamt 1942-1945. Verwaltungs- und Terrorzentrale der SS, Berlin/Leipzig 2020. Bereits 2014 gab er zusammen mit Bernd Wegner und Peter Lieb mit „Die Waffen-SS. Neuere Forschungen“ (Paderborn 2014) einen der wesentlichen Sammelbände zu eben jenem Thema heraus. Oberst PD Dr. John Zimmermann ist langjähriger Mitarbeiter im ZMSBw. Er ist Leiter des Forschungsbereichs Militärgeschichte bis 1945 und hat zusätzlich einen Lehrauftrag an der Universität Potsdam.

Hacienda prevé devolver 629 millones de euros a los contribuyentes canarios, un 4% menos que el año pasado. La subida de salarios y la falta de modificación de los tramos de IRPF provoca un aumento de las declaraciones que salen a pagar.

Führer es una palabra alemana que significa "líder, jefe, caudillo, conductor" (Der Führer, el caudillo, guía o conductor). Jurídicamente fue el cargo político en reemplazo al de presidente del Reich de Alemania en 1933, tras la llegada de Adolf Hitler al poder el 2 de agosto de 1934. El cargo Führer también se usó para designar a altos mandos de organizaciones de tipo militar vinculadas al NSDAP como las Schutzstaffel y las Sturmabteilung entre otras instituciones del Estado. En contraposición a la creencia popular, no es sinónimo de "dictador" y en la actualidad se usa comúnmente en Alemania para referirse a líderes de cualquier tipo en cualquier área. Su significado, en el caso de Hitler, es el de Guía del Pueblo Alemán, espiritual, política y militarmente. Cuando se usa fuera del idioma alemán, suele referirse por antonomasia a Hitler, máxima autoridad de la Alemania Nazi. Este fue el título y el grado jerárquico militar elegido por Hitler después de que en Alemania se estableciera el Führerprinzip, o "principio de autoridad", según el cual el Líder era el único responsable de concentrar todos los poderes en su persona, encarnar el Estado y ser jefe del partido único, en este caso el NSDAP.

Dom welcomes in Jared McBride, professor at UCLA and historian of Russia, Ukraine, and Eastern Europe in the 20th Century with a focus on mass violence, the Holocaust, interethnic conflict, nationalist movements, and war crimes prosecution. McBride was recently quoted in the Inquirer in an article focusing on a very controversial monument that was erected in Elkins Park 30 years ago recognizing the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Schutzstaffel, a Nazi military branch regularly referred to as ‘The SS.' The argument from supporters is that these alleged Nazi sympathizers aided the United States in the war against the Soviet Union, which McBride dissects as revisionist history.

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom welcomes in Jared McBride, professor at UCLA and historian of Russia, Ukraine, and Eastern Europe in the 20th Century with a focus on mass violence, the Holocaust, interethnic conflict, nationalist movements, and war crimes prosecution. McBride was recently quoted in the Inquirer in an article focusing on a very controversial monument that was erected in Elkins Park 30 years ago recognizing the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Schutzstaffel, a Nazi military branch regularly referred to as ‘The SS.' The argument from supporters is that these alleged Nazi sympathizers aided the United States in the war against the Soviet Union, which McBride dissects as revisionist history. Then, Dom announces that more schools have joined the ranks of those closing due to the heat wave Philadelphia is currently experiencing, taking a call from a teacher who explains the conditions that teachers are having to deal with during the excessive heat. Then, Dom calls upon Joan Cullen to chime in, with the former leader of Pennridge explaining why a half day was necessary for her school district. (Photo by Keystone/Getty Images)

En el presente episodio podréis escuchar una de las entrevistas más desconcertantes e inquietantes de nuestro tiempo. David Icke nació en Leicester (Reino Unido) en 1952. Ex futbolista y locutor deportivo inglés para BBC, es decir, una persona cómodamente instalada dentro del sistema que, de la noche a la mañana y debido a una serie de revelaciones, a partir de 1990 comenzó a divulgar aspectos digamos “poco convencionales”. Conferencista, periodista y autor de más de 20 libros y diversas obras, Icke sostiene que el Universo está formado por energía vibracional y diversas dimensiones que conforman un mismo espacio. Afirma que una raza interdimensional de seres reptilianos, los Arcontes o Annunaki, controla a la raza humana a través de híbridos genéticamente modificados que están impulsando un estado fascista global a través de un Nuevo Orden Mundial. En su día se burlaron de él y pasó de ser alguien respetado a ser el hazmerreír del público. Hoy día no lo hacen tanto, llegando a llenar estadios en sus conferencias y habiendo sido capaz décadas atrás de advertir cuanto estaba por venir con pasmosa precisión. Actualmente está vetado en 26 países europeos, así como Estados Unidos o Australia. Declarado terrorista de nivel 3 por Países Bajos, a raíz de tener previsto participar como orador principal en una manifestación por la paz “Juntos por los Países Bajos”; denunciando especialmente como están obligando a 3.000 agricultores a cerrar sus negocios. Icke llamó al primer ministro holandés, Mike Rutte, títere del Foro Económico Mundial y de Klaus Schwab. En 1998 David Icke publicó su libro “El Mayor Secreto: el libro que cambiará el mundo”, el cual fue acompañado de una entrevista realizada a Arizona Wilder, bajo el título “Revelaciones de una madre diosa”. En dicha entrevista Arizona manifiesta que, desde antes de su nacimiento, y debido a su genealogía especial, fue sometida por las élites Illuminati a crueles e inhumanas técnicas de control mental basadas en el trauma, para compartimentar su mente y programar personalidades alternas, especialmente la de “Diosa Madre”, enfocado a poder oficiar como Suma Sacerdotisa rituales satánicos del más alto nivel. En su personalidad «oficial», Arizona no recordaba nada de esto, pero cuando su programador, Josef Mengele (médico de las Schutzstaffel en la Alemania nazi) murió en los 80, dicho control mental comenzó a desvanecerse y Arizona empezó a notar que tenía muchos «tiempos perdidos» en su vida. Trabajando en ello a lo largo de una década, empezó a recordar y dar detalles sorprendentes de lo que vivió. Arizona es una de muchas personas por todo el mundo que afirman haber visto, a personas clave en importantes posiciones de poder, cambiando su apariencia humana a una reptil, especialmente durante dichos rituales satánicos. Por supuesto desde aquí ni afirmamos ni desmentimos nada, tan solo informamos dejando constancia de testimonios que en ocasiones puedan poner nuestro propio mundo patas arriba, pero que de alguna manera son dignos de análisis, contraste y cuanto menos ser contemplados desde una neutralidad abierta hacia cuestiones que desconocemos en el fondo en busca de la verdad.

Nazistledaren Heinrich Himmlers (1900-1945) intresse för germansk rasmystik gav honom ett särskilt engagemang för Sverige där han trodde sig finna ursprunget för arierna. Han skickade tidigt arkeologiska expeditioner till Tanums hällristningar för att kartlägga den germanska kulturens grundläggande.Som chef för säkerhetstjänsten Sicherheitsdienst (SD) ansvarade han också för kartläggande av det svenska samhället och odla kontakter som vid ett tyskt maktövertagande skulle få ledande roller i administrationen av Sverige.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med författaren Lennart Westberg som är aktuell med boken Himmlers Sverige – Visioner och verklighet.Som chef för organisationen Schutzstaffel, mer känt som SS, var Heinrich Himmler den ledande organisatören av folkmordet av judarna. Under Himmlers ledning växte SS explosionsartat och blev en politisk maktfaktor genom vilken Himmler i flera avseenden kunde föra en egen utrikespolitik. År 1933 lät han inrätta det första koncentrationslägret i Dachau.Redan under 1930-talet byggde Himmler upp organisationen ”Ahnenerbe” vars syfte var att med ”vetenskapliga” metoder hitta bevis för germanernas ärofyllda förflutna och deras rasmässiga överlägsenhet. Detta gjorde man för att rättfärdiga sina militära erövringar samt utrotningen av judar och andra människor som man ansåg vara mindervärdiga.Himmler ansåg att Sverige utgjorde den germanska rasens främsta kärnland, och i hans föreställningar om ett övernationellt styre i Nord- och Västeuropa efter kriget spelade Sverige en viktig roll.För att omsätta sina visioner i verklighet försökte SS upprätta egna nätverk i Sverige. Denna infiltration och propaganda omfattade bland annat polisen, personer inom läkarkåren, frivilliga till Waffen-SS och jordbrukets intresseorganisationer. Svenskar som deltagit i kriget i Waffen-SS skulle få en särskild roll som ledare i det tänkta Storgermanien efter att Nazityskland besegrat världen.1940 beordrade Himmler skapandet av ett nätverk av underrättelsetjänstemän i Sverige, känt som Sipo-SD, med målet att samla information och kontrollera landets politik. Detta gjordes i hopp om att säkra Sveriges neutralitet under kriget och hindra landet från att stödja de allierade.Bild: Riksfürern för SS, Heinrich Himmler, besöker koncentrationslägret Dachhaus 1936, Bundesarchiv, Bild 152-11-12 / CC-BY-SA 3.0, Wikipedia, Public Domain.Musik: SS Machiert in Feindesland, SS kampsång under andra världskriget,Lyssna också på Sveriges balansakt mellan Sovjet och Nazityskland.Klippare: Emanuel Lehtonen Vill du stödja podden och samtidigt höra ännu mer av Historia Nu?

"Für die Ziele der SS war Wissen nicht erforderlich, sondern Bewusstsein: Herrenbewusstsein, Elitebewusstsein, Freund-Feind Bewusstsein" schreibt der Historiker Eugen Kogon über die SS. Die Psychologie dieser Massenmordorganisation im Dritten Reich weist einige Ambivalenzen auf, die aber, in der einen oder anderen Form, teilweise bis heute in militärischen Organisationen vorherrschen.  In dieser Podcast-Folge bieten wir einige tiefere Einblicke in die Psychologie der "Schutzstaffel".

The Facebook Overlords are operating on overdrive. On Tuesday, August 16, I discovered that the FB Overlords had “fact-checked,” not one, not two, but three of the satirical memes I had posted over the past four days on my personal Facebook page. All of the memes satirized Biden's proposed 87,000-member Schutzstaffel: the IRSS. This is a sure sign that Dems are quaking in their jackboots about how much the public hates their Inflation Reduction Act that spends buckets of hard-earned ducats on more bureaucrats, whose job will be to squeeze more money from Americans. Enquiring minds wonder if Biden and his merry band of congressional pocket-pickers and Zuckerberg brown-nosers had a little confab with Zuck or his lackeys, begging them to do something—anything—to stop social media jokes. Luckily for Biden and congressional Democrats, it doesn't take much to get the dour, humorless, and literal Overlords tasked with fact-checking satirical memes to start slapping scary “MISSING CONTEXT” stickers on posts willy-nilly. Maybe the Overlords, overloaded with their censorship duties, farmed out their dirty work to Macedonian teens with time on their hands, or maybe the scary “MISSING CONTEXT” stickers—the next best thing to censorship—were slapped on by avatars in the Metaverse where real people go to die. Clearly, someone isn't happy about viral jokes about the Democrats hiring an 87,000-member fiscal goon squad. Read more...

Cuando pensamos en las SS, la primera imágen que viene a nuestras cabezas es la de una unidad fanática y temeraria, que se arrojaba al combate sin temor y que no le temblaba la mano para erradicar por completo a sus oponentes, sin importar si se rendían o no. La fama que alcanzaron es bien merecida, pero cabe aclarar que dentro de las divisiones pioneras de las SS, no existe ninguna otra con el historial tan manchado como el de nuestro objeto de estudio de hoy, la tercera división SS Totenkopf, cuya participación en los múltiples crímenes de guerra cometidos por los alemanes en la Segunda Guerra Mundial fue tan destacable, que sin duda podemos decir que entre los malditos que se encontraban dentro las filas de las SS, aquí se resguardaban algunos de los peores. Bienvenidos historiadores a una nueva entrega de Sábado Bélico, donde nos adentraremos nuevamente en una de las divisiones de las tan famosas Schutzstaffel, y como ya se dieron cuenta, hoy hablaremos de la tercera división SS Totenkopf, que en nuestro idioma significa calavera, un nombre bastante adecuado para las funciones que desempeñaron, así que sin mayor dilación, prepárense para conocer a los infames hombres que protagonizan nuestra historia de hoy. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hc-historia-contemporanea/message

In 1937, Nazi Germany began work on building the first and the largest concentration camp in Germany. Found eight kilometres north of the city of Weimar, the camp was able to incarcerate over 60,000 people. Opened in July 1938, the camp was dubbed Buchenwald. Buchenwald Concentration Camp was comprised of three distinct areas, the first area was dubbed the Special Compound, this included the administration offices, the Commandant's Villa, and finally the Schutzstaffel (or, SS) Quarters. The SS was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the foremost agency of security, surveillance, and terror in Nazi Germany. Prisoners of the camp included Jewish people, political prisoners, Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies, German military deserters, asocials (which included the homeless, alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes, the unemployable and pacifists) and finally, prisoners of war. Visit www.truecrimenz.com for more information on this case including sources and credits.

Heinrich Luitpold Himmler was Reichsführer of the Schutzstaffel, and a leading member of the Nazi Party of Germany. Himmler was one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany and a main architect of the Holocaust. As a member of a reserve battalion during World War I, Himmler did not see active service

Today, we're continuing our Friday almost-live shows where we review the news of the week with a co-host. Welcome back to the program today's co-host, Crosscut staff reporter covering state politics and the legislature, Melissa Santos. [00:00:54] Melissa Santos: Hi Crystal. [00:00:55] Crystal Fincher: Hey, welcome back. How are you? [00:00:58] Melissa Santos: Doing as well as anyone can be doing at this moment in time and history probably. [00:01:03] Crystal Fincher: I feel that. Well, I guess we should start off by talking about a couple of actions that Inslee took over the past week. One is a move that he's trying to make to make it illegal for politicians to lie about election fraud. What is he doing there? [00:01:23] Melissa Santos: Well, it's hard to say precisely because I still haven't seen the text of a bill and a lot is dependent on that, but basically the Governor said he wants it to make it a gross misdemeanor for politicians to lie about election fraud. The part that some reporters immediately went, "Wait, wait, wait - we know in our state that our Supreme Court has said that basically lying as a politician is okay. There was a ruling almost 15 years ago now that said lying about your opponent is free speech essentially, for the most part, so we're wondering how can you make this work?" The Governor's argument is that this is speech lying about election fraud, and lying about the results of elections can lead to violence, and that's like calling "Fire" in a crowded theater. So that is something he believes can be regulated. I'm waiting to see how the text of that actually falls into place. Some other legislators that happen to be lawyers, including House Speaker Laurie Jinkins, said to me, "It really depends on how it's written, if it's constitutional," but the Governor made this announcement on January 6, the anniversary of the insurrection at the US Capitol and the anniversary of people actually storming the grounds of his, the governor's mansion in Olympia, over some of these claims of election fraud. I'm just interested to see how it plays out, and whether it could actually be passed, and whether it can actually uphold or be upheld in court. [00:02:53] Crystal Fincher: Yeah, and that seems to be the stance of a lot of people - just waiting to see what the text is. But frankly, not just lawyers in the legislature, but also other constitutional lawyers who, with both conservative and progressive backgrounds, have said that this can be really dicey and whether or not this can be constitutionally constructed is a big question. I think Inslee - his response to that was, "Yes, this may draw some legal attention and challenge," but he's feeling that the rhetoric has gotten so inflamed that the truth - that misinformation and disinformation is actually damaging to our democracy and society - and we're paying a price. And he feels compelled to act to try to do something. And is ready for the fight. And I think he has almost acknowledged that he's not sure how it will ultimately turn out. He's going to do his best to craft it constitutionally, but he doesn't know. He just feels that this is worth the fight. [00:03:57] Melissa Santos: And I guess for me, I'm wondering if it just depends on whether you have to have violence result and then can go back and prosecute, because that might be a situation in which I think - I'm not a lawyer - and I haven't talked to as many people about this as I want to to make this claim. But I think potentially if you actually see violence that erupts that could be traced to someone's statements, maybe that's more legally defensible to have a penalty against a speech, than if it's just speculative, like this could lead to violence. So, I guess that's one of the things I'm wondering - if that will be specified clearly in what he puts out. [00:04:32] Crystal Fincher: Yeah, and I mean the impression I got is that it wasn't going to be tied to violence - just the act of lying and knowingly spreading misinformation would be illegal and punishable by law. But again as you said, we haven't seen the text of this. So, this is a big stay tuned, but a big announcement and that has a lot of people interested in what the next steps are going to be. And then the other action that he took this week was ending the ban on affirmative action. What happened here? [00:05:05] Melissa Santos: Well, essentially this is something that, as you know, has come up at the ballot box a few times in, oh 2019, which seems like a very long time ago somehow now. The legislature did rescind Initiative 200, a 20-plus now year old ban on affirmative action that voters approved in our state. And then voters reinstated the ban essentially in the fall of that year. Yes, that's essentially how it played out. You can get talking about referendums in a way that are very confusing, but that's essentially what happened. But what was interesting and during that campaign, I remember people - even Gary Locke, the former governor - saying a lot of the stuff we actually think we can do under current law - things like targeting, hiring of people from minority groups for state contracting roles and state contracts, and some recruiting - targeted recruiting - of people who are people of color for certain jobs and focusing on those efforts. Those things actually - there's a disagreement even at the time whether you could do that already, even with the ban in place. Because essentially boiling down, you're not hiring someone just based on your race - you're hiring people that are perfectly qualified for these, well, for these jobs, right? I mean that was always what the idea was, and that was said to be possibly allowed already. And then the State Attorney General put out something saying, "Yeah, you can do this. It's legal," and that was different advice than Governor Locke 20 years ago received. So this has opened the door for the Governor, now Inslee, to basically change this just by executive order, or changing it through his own practices at state agencies without a change of law. I know this will be somewhat controversial for those who were like, "Wait, wait, didn't we just vote this down, et cetera," but I really recall - it was really such a healthy debate about, honestly even among supporters of rescinding the affirmative action ban - do we even need to do this, or can we just do it without any of this legal back and forth? And so that dates back a few years. And so the Governor, with advice from the Attorney General of our state, basically said, "Yeah, no, we can try to proactively recruit and hire people for state positions and state contracts that are from underrepresented groups." That's what he did just through his own authority without the action of the legislature, or vote of the people. The one thing I'm not totally clear on - I'm not sure it extends to university admissions. I think it's more within the Governor's purview of hiring, but I'm not 100% sure on how this applies to university admissions and whether universities can give extra weight between two equally qualified candidates - to someone who is from an underrepresented group when they're doing admissions, admitting students. I'm not sure how the Governor extends to that. I'm not sure if you know, Crystal, if it extends that far. [00:08:10] Crystal Fincher: I don't know, and I actually read an article by Joseph O'Sullivan, Jim Brunner and Heidi Groover about this and I don't think that's addressed in the article. I don't recall that being addressed in the article. They basically described exactly what you said - that there was a 2017 opinion by our current Attorney General Bob Ferguson that was different than prior attorney general saying that, "Hey, actually at the moment, race and sex conscious measures are not prohibited. You can do more. This isn't a blanket ban." And so, Inslee's executive order is instructing, within the next 10 days for that specifically, he'll issue a replacement executive order replacing the one Gary Locke put in place - to move forward "with achieving equity while still complying with essentially the law," which is restrictive. So, it's going to be interesting to see how he threads this needle and what results of it are going to be. I don't see that it impacts admissions, but I'm sure we're going to be hearing more about that. [00:09:27] Melissa Santos: Yeah, and - [00:09:27] Crystal Fincher: But it's really interesting. [00:09:28] Melissa Santos: Yeah and I will say that when I looked at this and when other reporters have looked at this, there was a really stark decline in the percentage of state contracts going toward businesses and firms owned by women and people of color after the passage of I-200, which passed in 1998. There really was - I mean going back to one my old stories right now - in 1998, when race conscious measures weren't expressly prohibited by I-200 that had not yet passed, more than 13% of the money spent by state agencies and/or state educational institutions went towards certified minority and women-owned businesses. But in 2017, that was below 3%. So, we saw a more than 10 percentage point decline after I-200 passed in hiring and contracts going to minority-owned businesses. There's some dispute about whether women-owned businesses should be all grouped in the same way, but you saw a clear decline there, at least in that form of measure. There was an effect, I guess, of I-200 passing and whether it can be reversed by what the Governor has just done, I guess remains to be seen. [00:10:38] Crystal Fincher: Yeah, and I think the effect is going to be - I don't know that we're going to see immediate action by a lot of places, but my goodness, I used to do economic development work in this area - increasing minority business, contracting and relationships - and the amount of people who were like, "Yeah, we want to do that, but the law prohibits it." And sometimes people say that - it's not in good faith - but there were people who were doing it before, who specifically felt handcuffed and they would get in trouble if they attempted to do anything in that realm and felt like they would be scrutinized for choosing to work with companies of color, being accused of giving preferential treatment. There are certainly those who lob that accusation, no matter what the qualifications or reputation of the firm is. So it definitely had a chilling effect, and what this does is it really frees up those types of localities who had an interest in it, and people who do have an interest to act immediately. And others, it may take more external pressure, lobbying, and accountability measures to make sure that something that is prioritized, but this is an area where the law had an impact. This ban had an impact and a negative one. Especially given everything we're looking at now, as much as possible needs to be happening to make sure that everyone can participate in our economy, to make sure everyone is given a fair shot with public contracts. All of our dollars are going into this, and it needs to be flowing in an equitable way to all of us. [00:12:24] Melissa Santos: Yeah. And one other thing that I think is interesting about this, the Governor's budget proposal and I don't know if - he actually has a small amount of money for giving extra money to people who are of underrepresented backgrounds, or specifically I guess it says low income, to serve on state boards and commissions - recognizing that there maybe is an opportunity cost, or that people who are not rich basically can't participate in state government and have their perspective valued and incorporated into state policy making. So, he's pursuing different avenues of trying to get people who maybe haven't traditionally been involved in state government to have their perspectives. And the language is interesting because it's really saying people who basically are not wealthy, people who have lots of spare time to do this out of the goodness of their hearts - have a lot of valuable perspective they can add, and we need that perspective and we should pay for it. There's some interesting things happening with this across Inslee's administration. [00:13:24] Crystal Fincher: Yeah, definitely. We'll keep an eye on how that plays out. You have been doing a fantastic job over several years covering the legislature. We just had this legislative session start last week. So, what is on tap? What are the top bills that they're working on, or things that we should be keeping our eyes on? [00:13:48] Melissa Santos: I mean one of the things that they're moving really quick on which I think you've discussed a lot on your show, so I don't think we need to go deep into it, but changes to this Long-term Care Act, which is this program that was passed a couple years ago to provide people help with paying for nursing care and other things that could help them even age in place in their homes. It looks like the State House is going to vote to delay the payroll tax that pays for this program and delay it a little bit, and make some tweaks. And so that's moving through quickly. The other things that they're really focused on are some changes to the police accountability measures they passed - wow, I guess it was just last year. It feels like it was two years ago now, but at 20, 20 - [00:14:31] Crystal Fincher: 2021 session, yeah. [00:14:32] Melissa Santos: Wow, okay. Yeah, so there's going to be some tweaks - there's some bills introduced essentially, mostly focused on the changes that were made last year to use of force standards for police. The bill they passed last year set a higher standard for when police can use force. It's pretty detailed and nuanced, but essentially requiring more use of de-escalation and limits on when you can use force when in situations that aren't a dire danger kind of thing. And there was some concern that, "Hey, does this ban us from using less..." Okay, that's a different bill, but there were some concern that they cannot transport people who are suffering mental health crisis - that there were police who raised the concern like, "Hey, we don't know if under this, if someone's not an imminent danger to hurting us, or killing us, or killing themselves. Can we still transport them to the hospital when they need mental health treatment?" And the legislator says, "Yeah, you can, you absolutely can," but there seem to be enough confusion about that aspect that they'll have a bill that would clarify - yeah, you can still help with mental health issues if you're police, even under this use of force bill that we passed last year. So, that's one thing. And there's also some other changes. There were limits to police tactics passed in a wide-ranging bill last year and the concern that arose was, "Hey, can we still use less-lethal weapons - bean bag launchers and stuff - if we got those through military surplus programs," which there's some contradictory stuff potentially saying no military weapons will be used by police. I'm oversimplifying it, but then sometimes they use military grade launchers and stuff for less-lethal weapons. So, just making it clear you can still do things short of killing people that use launchers and things like that to launch bean bags and things like that. So, there's some tweaks like that. There's Republicans wanting more bigger repeals, but I just don't see the Democratic legislature doing - completely rolling back what they did last year. [00:16:36] Crystal Fincher: Yeah. I mean, and I want to talk a little bit more about you say, "There were concerns raised." Certainly throughout the legislative process, there were concerns raised. To that point, legislators attempted and felt they had addressed those concerns in the legislation and gave clear guidance that, Yes, you can still intervene. This is just limiting when you can use force, which was responsive to what protests were demanding, what voters across King County voted for with the King County Charter Amendments, an action that was taken by elected leadership in Seattle and around the county - moving towards mental health officers, non-armed officers to respond to a variety of these other things - recognizing that focus on de-escalation, focus on trying to actually address the problem without introducing a big risk of violence is beneficial to everyone. Police revolted in some situations - refused to respond to some calls, refused to intervene in mental health crisis calls. This went far beyond just a, "Hey we're concerned, we're not sure how to do this." They said, "Hey, we can't do this. We can't do our jobs," in a way that seemed that they were very unhappy with the fact that there was any legislation passed at all, and basically said it was all hindering their ability to do the job. And so some of this legislation is aimed at saying, "Fine. If this is really about a concern about responding to a mental health call, sure, we'll clarify that." And there are some clarifying bills, but obviously you've reported on this and this is me editorializing, but it seems like not all of those concerns have been raised in good faith and certainly the way that they were raised has been very contentious. [00:18:41] Melissa Santos: I think there was some exaggeration in the first weeks that these new laws went to effect, which was in July of 2021. I feel like there might have been some genuine confusion about some of the smaller points like, "Oh, wait what about these..." Maybe the less-lethal weapons thing - I think that maybe there was some genuine like, "Oh, we want to make sure we don't get in trouble for using our rocket launchers for something that maybe wasn't considered, or clearly outlined in this bill. You know - that we aren't trying to kill people with rocket launchers, we're trying to not kill people with rocket launchers." Fine, okay. But I do think there was some exaggeration and there were police chiefs that came out and said this is ridiculous, including Adrian Diaz from the Seattle Police saying, "The idea that..." - I think he called it ridiculous or something like that - the idea that you couldn't respond to mental health calls, because the assumption being that you're going to have to use physical force whenever you respond is where Adrian Diaz said, "I don't really see with the logic there." And also to be clear, you can use force when you see a crime happening or something. Police always, even under these laws, could pursue people, and they could pursue people. There was a lot of dispute about that, and I talked to a lot of chiefs who said, "I would definitely pursue someone in that situation if I saw them running away after I saw them under a car stealing a catalytic converter, and they ran off. I would not feel hamstrung by these laws. I think that's bunk." So, there was some, definitely even people within the law enforcement community saying, "I don't actually think that's how this works at all." That led me to think - Aaaahhh, I mean, is there genuine confusion in all cases, or is it also just resistance? And I think there was a mixture certainly of political resistance a little bit to some of the reforms. I think that was certainly true, and that might have caused people to interpret some aspects as being - people being - the police agencies to say I don't want to mess with this more than maybe what was necessary in certain cases. Yeah. I mean I talked to the Director of the state Criminal Justice Training Commission who also said some of these claims that were being made by police were overwrought. "People seem to be in a panic that maybe was unnecessary," is what she said, and I put in my story. That made me think, Okay, this isn't a clear cut, we can no longer do our jobs as police. Anyway, that's a discussion that the legislature is now having about - sorting through what is a legitimate concern, what is more just we don't want the legislature telling us how to do our jobs as police. And that's something the legislators are sorting through now. And I did personally have questions about the idea you can pursue certain people who are suspected of violent crimes, or people that you - one thing that someone from King County actually told me is that some police maybe have not had to distinguish that clearly between probable cause and reasonable suspicion, which are these thresholds for which you can do - super technical, but by which the standards you can do stuff under these bills basically. And there was a change in threshold, but to be honest, probable cause, some of the cops have told me, is not that high of a standard. If it sometimes - [00:22:00] Crystal Fincher: It clearly is not. [00:22:02] Melissa Santos: Some of the cops are saying, "Well, we have to do a full investigation of everything before we can even detain anyone," or say, "Hey, can you stop right there because we're investigating this and you're suspicious basically," but some police have said, "Actually, you know, probable cause is pretty low evidentiary standards. Even if you need probable cause to tackle someone to the ground and beat them, which is what some of these new laws do - it used to be reasonable suspicion which is lower - that's not that high of a threshold." I'm not saying police should be going straight to beating people, but the idea that they couldn't stop people ever, even when they saw someone fleeing the scene of a murder or something, was something that other police also questioned as being like, "Hmm, I don't know if that -." [00:22:46] Crystal Fincher: Yeah, there were plenty in the law enforcement community who said that this did not prohibit them from doing the job that they thought they should be doing. And even, I want to say it was the Renton Police Department, but I'm not precisely sure. There was a chase that they said - that they couldn't pursue someone who had fled because of this new law, which was just absolutely ridiculous, and that was their way of protesting that. But I mean we'll keep an eye on that legislation. We'll see how it proceeds, and I'm wondering if there is ever anything short of no action that they will find acceptable. And I think as you mentioned before, there are some Republicans who just want to repeal everything. But I think most people, the majority of people - and polling back that up and elections have backed that up - feel that changes do need to fundamentally happen to add protections and, at minimum, reforms. Now, how much those reforms need to be - it is another subject, but there's broad popular agreement that changes need to happen. And also, I just need to say, I don't see any situation in which I feel a police entity needs to have a rocket launcher, but evidently they do for some reason. But I do want to shift and talk about some local stuff. And Seattle and Burien extending their eviction moratoriums, which was something that a lot of people have been lobbying for. I certainly have - we've talked about this on this program, but especially with the rise with Omicron - the Omicron variant - people being unsure, not wanting to be exposed, or being sick with other folks. It was unthinkable and obviously extremely stressful for a lot of people to think, "Hey, just when this virus is once again surging, which is the reason why we had an eviction moratorium in the first place, why would we end it when we are basically hitting pandemic-high numbers for infections, hospitalizations? Putting someone out on the street during this time seems to just go against all of the reasoning for why it is currently in place." Bruce Harrell - this is one of the first decisions that he's made policy-wise since he's been mayor - decided to extend the moratorium for 30 days. Burien decided to extend their moratorium for as long as Governor Inslee has his COVID-19 emergency designation established, although they will revisit it for 90 days. In Seattle, lots of people are thinking, "Oh, 30 days, it could be longer." It is a good thing that the eviction moratorium was extended, and I'm very glad Mayor Harrell did that, and that the City of Burien is following, I know other cities are doing that. But it's absolutely necessary. And I hope during this time, all government agencies and entities really focus on getting the available financial help to renters, to landlords, just following through with that process and making sure all of the help that's available for people to get is made available and accessible, and it actually gets to people. There's a report that there are a backlog of 10,000 rental assistance applications at King County - that King County can't get to because they've run out of money. That's another element in the backdrop of this moratorium extension, in that help that was supposed to be available for people has not materialized. So, hopefully everyone at all levels of government gets their acts together to get help to people who need it on the ground. Otherwise, a lot of this COVID mitigation stuff feels like, "Hey, we're trying to get over the hump." Money to get people through this thing, and it seems like some folks are giving up when it is the hardest and the worst. And a lot of the outcomes that we've been trying to avoid look like they're more pressing than ever, so I just hope people coordinate and get money to the people who need it. [00:27:20] Melissa Santos: Well, I'm wondering, I'll have to look back at the Governor's proposal budget, but there is $1.3 billion in unspent COVID relief money at the state level, that's from the federal government, that still is sitting around. So, I'm wondering if maybe the legislature sends more money to some of the counties to help with this - even though the state eviction moratorium already expired - but I mean at least rental assistance is still something that many people need. Especially with Omicron, people - I mean again the economy, I think - restaurant workers and a lot of people in service industry jobs are underemployed or not employed. And that's still a huge issue and it's easy for people who are able to work remotely successfully and without a huge impact to their job, which is a lot of my colleagues and such. I mean to be honest, it's easy to underestimate how bad these surges create problems for people who are in other positions - when businesses have to downsize their staffs again because they just don't have people coming through the door. So that's something - I think I do wonder if maybe the legislature will send more money out to some of the counties to assist, relaying more of those unspent federal dollars. I'm not sure if they will. I think they probably will do some. [00:28:38] Crystal Fincher: Yeah. I mean it seems like that certainly should be an urgent priority for them to do, hopefully doing it as quickly as possible to enable help to get to people who need it the most, but I mean certainly people are sounding the alarm that more help is needed to keep people in their homes. And as lots of people have concerns about just general affordability - not just inflation, but housing prices - as people are trying to figure out, especially with a number of the reductions and COVID protections and isolation and mitigation, just what kind of effect that is having on people and their families, that that help is needed now and the legislature can certainly, excuse me, impact that. Again, this is another one to keep their eye on, but also one to talk to your legislator about and say, "Hey, people still need help. The number one way to address homelessness is to make sure people don't wind up homeless in the first place." That is actually the least expensive, most effective way to address it. Don't let people get out on the street - every problem becomes much harder to address once they do. I mean I was happy to hear Bruce Harrell talking about looking at also preventing utility shutoffs, looking at people who are behind, and trying to connect them with services intentionally because that's a leading indicator of a risk for eviction. There's still a big issue brewing here that we're going to feel the effects of in very painful and negative ways if more help isn't provided. [00:30:28] Melissa Santos: And this really is a statewide issue now. I mean, if you looked at the housing prices in Chelan County, they've gone up 20% year-over-year for instance. So, this is something that even though King County has a high concentration and super high housing prices that really compound it, here as an issue for folks, but I mean it really is something that other counties and other places in our state are experiencing acutely as well. [00:30:54] Crystal Fincher: Yeah, absolutely. Well, and let's go ahead and revisit Kent's Nazi cop, which - wow, wouldn't it be amazing if that was hyperbole, but it's not, that's a literal statement. We talked about this a bit last week. An assistant police chief in the City of Kent made Holocaust jokes, shaved a Hitler mustache - and this is over time - and posted Nazi insignias, literal Nazi insignias, on his door at work above his nameplate. A detective thankfully after four days of that happening - one detective who saw that out of everybody passing by - reported, filed a complaint, reported it. It was investigated - he, after the fact, said, "Hey, he didn't know that those were actual Nazi insignias. And the Hitler mustache was a joke. And the other joke was just unfortunate and poor taste, but he doesn't have a racist, anti-Semitic bone in his body, la-di-da-di-dah." Clearly highly unacceptable. The investigation found that he did knowingly post it, even though they technically said that they didn't sustain a finding of officially lying. They said that his version of events is not what happened. He did knowingly post, that he did make those jokes, he did shave a Hitler mustache - that all happened, that's not in dispute. And the punishment that they came up with was two weeks suspension. And during this entire time, while he was under investigation, he wasn't suspended. He was still working. He was participating in personnel decisions, policy decisions. It's just beyond. So now he's on paid administrative leave and the mayor has - initially went along with the 2-week finding. Then after public outcry, because a group thankfully, called No Secret Police, put in public disclosure requests, found all of this information, and they're the ones who actually broke the story that we have a Nazi cop. The Seattle Times has been writing about it. But two weeks suspended after public outcry and revulsion. In response to that, the mayor, Mayor Dana Ralph, announced that she will be asking the union for that officer's resignation - not firing him, not doing any of that, but asking for his resignation. And then, while everybody's saying, "Okay, so why are we even here? Why does it take public outcry for you to reconsider that maybe two weeks suspension for a Nazi cop isn't appropriate, or it just really spits in the face of all of your residents?" And her response to that is she said her administration and that - I'm reading an article by Mike Carter in the Times - her administration badly underestimated the public outrage that would spring from the decision not to fire an assistant police chief who posted a Nazi insignia on his door, embraced the rank of an officer in Adolf Hitler's murderous - what, Schutzstaffel or SS - joked about the Holocaust. So, where is your mind at that this is not a big deal? Where is your mind at that you can't picture people getting upset? This is very concerning to me. How are you looking at this? [00:34:50] Melissa Santos: Well, and I mean the thing that does hit me a little is Kent is such a diverse community with - I mean, it's majority people of color - I'm trying to look at the actual population, but I think - I mean you know better than I, Crystal, because I believe you actually live in Kent, I think- [00:35:03] Crystal Fincher: I do live in Kent. [00:35:04] Melissa Santos: - but it's 60% people of color I think. The police department, I don't know how their demographics match up with the actual city - I've not looked into this - but it strikes me as the only way you could underestimate that this would be offensive and highly offensive is if you have a large number of people that are not from groups that would be personally hurt or offended by this. I'm really at a little bit of a loss for how exactly that happened. This all was happening in the summer and I'm not sure if the election was on people's minds a little bit like, "Okay, we don't want..." If you fire a cop, it's more likely to make news. There is that too. I mean people will be like, "Hey, well if the assistant chief got fired, what happened there?" So I don't know if they just didn't want to draw attention to it. There were elections happening last year, municipal elections. I don't know if that's a factor or not. If there was ignorance - [00:36:05] Crystal Fincher: Clearly they didn't want to draw attention to it. Yeah, clearly they did not. [00:36:07] Melissa Santos: Yeah, I mean if there really was some element of ignorance - that I think speaks to the police department being a little out of touch with a community that they serve potentially. [00:36:15] Crystal Fincher: Massively out of touch and a threat and a danger too, yes. [00:36:20] Melissa Santos: And looking through lots and lots of police disciplinary records, I've been a little bit surprised over the last couple years that a 2-week suspension to an average person may not seem that big of - I mean, I would be unhappy if I got two weeks unpaid leave from work, but I go back to work and it's not the biggest of deals. But it's pretty rare for police to actually issue those kind of punishments is what I have seen. So, possibly just because police discipline is structured the way [Crystal: The bar is on the floor.] that they considered it to be a bigger penalty than the public does, because I do see a lot of - the idea that police cannot - they have to start with progressive discipline. I mean they start with something small. So maybe in some cases - I mean there are cities where I've written about, where they've given someone a written reprimand as the only penalty for punching someone - a citizen in the face without real provocation - and things like that. If that's a written reprimand in some communities, a 2-week suspension would be pretty significant by comparison, right? I don't want to say they thought it was significant, but they're just out of touch with what the public expectation would be about what a punishment for this would look like. [00:37:42] Crystal Fincher: Yes, in my opinion, this is disqualifyingly out of touch. If the only thing that is in your mind and the justification that makes sense to you - and again, this is me editorializing, this is not reporting or anything - but if the only thing that makes sense is, Well, we barely punish cops anyway and for this Nazi behavior, got two weeks, that's a disciplinary finding, it'll be on his record, that's fine - is so far removed from understanding that this speaks a lot to the culture of the entire department. How this behavior - this behavior only stopped because a detective - one, finally, after this had endured for years evidently - said something because something was so blatant and actionable. But to have - what you hear in the background is a Kent police siren right now in my house - you have to be so detached from the community that you're serving to think that - that at the minimum gives the appearance of a police force that is racist, anti-Semitic, biased, uses extremely poor judgment, is not connected to the community at all. And if you're talking about needing to rebuild trust, needing to maintain and rebuild trust - which Dana Ralph tried to give some of that rhetoric during last year, while she was campaigning - then wow, this flies in the face of that. This spits in the face of all of the residents of the city. And to think that when someone is in total control of someone's civil rights, if someone has the power to detain you, if someone has the power to beat you and jail you and give you consequences that are going to last potentially for the remainder of your life - can impact whether or not you can hold a job, or have a job, get housing - that that standard should be higher than the average employee who may get paid for two weeks with discipline. But also, we hold average employees to such higher standards of conduct than we do our police. We require more de-escalation from our service workers when someone is yelling at them for not wanting to wear a mask than we do from police. We require people who are in the right, who have been detained by police, to conduct themselves with more decorum than the police are for fear of getting beat or detained unjustly. This is just so far, so unacceptable, so ridiculous, so absurd - a literal Nazi cop is just - obviously, you can hear that this is very frustrating to me. And the complicity of the mayor and the other one just really speaks to the culture, and it really says to the community that we don't care about you, we don't consider you, we don't think about, you're on your own, this is not a city where - to serve everyone. This is a city that is looking out for its own interests and putting the feelings of Nazi cops, and using tax dollars to support Nazi cops ahead of residents here in the city. And it's appalling. [00:41:25] Melissa Santos: Well, your point about one officer bringing it up, or a detective raising the issue makes me think a little bit about - our state just passed a law last year. One of - another police law they passed was about establishing a duty to intervene, and most departments have this on the books already. A lot of departments saying that if you witness misconduct as a cop, you're obligated to report it, but what if cops don't? What if a bunch of cops don't view this as reportable misconduct? That's what this brings to mind to me. I'm assuming there are other people who were offended and had misgivings about it, but maybe didn't say anything about the Nazi insignia on the door, but then only one person did. So, there are some established things that under our state's new law - if you've witnessed successive force, you have to report it, or else you can be punished kind of thing, but this - [00:42:10] Crystal Fincher: It's limited to force because that's what I was thinking. I'm like, "How does this not fall under that new law?" Went back and looked at the text of the new law, and it must involve force. So, just general misconduct, they still don't have a duty to report which clearly needs to change, but yeah. [00:42:29] Melissa Santos: Yeah. I mean what if that officer, that detective had not reported it, would it... I mean - [00:42:35] Crystal Fincher: If that detective hadn't reported it, if we didn't have No Secret Police - that organization in Kent doing these PDR requests - they couldn't do that. If we didn't have those, we wouldn't know about this. We straight up would not know. [00:42:54] Melissa Santos: Yeah, I mean I think that - [00:42:55] Crystal Fincher: Which is appalling. [00:42:55] Melissa Santos: So I mean that's the thing - I'm actually looking at that law too - they have to report wrongdoing, but wrongdoing is defined as contact that is contrary to law, or contrary to the policies of the witnessing officer's agency. I mean there's still a lot dependent on police recognizing that this is a violation, right? And if people did not recognize that, or thought it was a gray area of some sort for whatever reason, which I think that most people who read the stories about this do not think it's a gray area in any way, shape, or form. But I mean that's still the cultural issue. This brings that to light to me a little bit about what if other cops don't see this as big of a deal as everyone else does, and that's what gives me pause. [00:43:38] Crystal Fincher: Yeah. It gives me huge pause. Clearly. If the Holocaust jokes didn't do it, the Hitler stache didn't do it - this is an assistant chief, this is someone who is dictating the culture, setting the policy, hiring, training, disciplining, guiding the department. People are following his example. He is there for that purpose, and he's a Nazi. [00:44:05] Melissa Santos: That also actually brings - I shouldn't assume what the motivations of the cops - but is it more, are our forces structured so it's very difficult for underlings to report the misconduct of a superior? I don't know if we've addressed that in law and policy. This is me assuming that there were people who wanted to report it and did not, because I have to in my mind, but anyway. [00:44:28] Crystal Fincher: Well, I mean, also we've heard about the - what is it, what a blue line of silence, whatever they call it - or issues in any general workplace where, "Hey, are you going to report your boss for misconduct?" That comes with the threat of physical force retaliation, maybe we're not going to back you up in police contexts, and just what a tainted and spoiled culture that must be. There was a statement made that, Clearly this is the action of a cop, we still have confidence in the department. I don't. How can you? I question you if you have confidence in this department. I question how you can see literal Nazi behavior tolerated and think that that's okay. [00:45:22] Melissa Santos: We probably could talk about this forever, but again, it would have been very different if in July of last year, the chief and the mayor come out saying, "Someone reported this. We've looked into it and we think it's horrendous. And we're going to demote, fire this police assistant chief." That did not happen - coming out by the work of an advocacy group, by a group who's making records requests and not the police department itself - it does not look good. [00:45:54] Crystal Fincher: Yeah, it does not look good. There's a lot to talk about including how - there's a lot to talk about with this. We could talk forever, but we will leave it here actually for the day. We have time coming up, but also I just want to speak quickly about schools, just being - parents are just trying to figure out - I have talked to a number of parents and they're like, "I don't even know at this point whether it's better to send the kids to school or send them at home, but I don't feel like they're safe anywhere. I feel like every situation is suboptimal. I feel like the communication from the school districts is confusing and contradictory and late." And even for people with privilege who can stay home, they're trying to figure out how to navigate around this. And to have two parents who are working outside the home, who can't stay home and deal with all of this, or who may not be very online to get all of this information that's dictated for the next day at 10 p.m. sometimes. It's just a lot to deal with. People are afraid for the safety and health of their kids. Quarantining rules are changing and different. And just no one knows what's going on. Lots of calls for "schools to stay open." And I don't think there's anyone who disagrees that in a perfect world, yes, having people in school is ideal, but with the mitigating factors is that the case and they need to be socialized. And it's about the quality of education. But now so many people are out with COVID that they're asking parents to staff classrooms, they're asking lunch workers to staff classrooms, just any adult over 18. Some districts are changing qualifications to remove any qualification, but being an adult over 18 who can pass a background check. Clearly, we're out of the realm of talking about the quality of education and what's ideally best for the kids. And you've got to wonder just what is going into these decisions. It just doesn't seem like the health of the students is the guiding factor. I think a lot of people feel like, with the CDC, the health of Americans isn't the guiding factor. There seems to be a lot of profit motives at stake, and just people trying to force this to work in a way that makes people real uncomfortable about the health impacts. [00:48:32] Melissa Santos: So, I don't have a kid that's school age. I have a kid in daycare and whenever there is a COVID closure, it's very disruptive. And I understand that for parents and this is even when I - I mean, you can't really get work done at home with a toddler, it's very difficult. So, I understand, and even if you have the ability to work from home. So, I understand that's a huge stress around parents. At the same time, I mean it seems like there should have been a backup plan. There's been remote learning for a long time now, and no one thinks that's ideal for most kids. Although in some cases, I know some students thrive with it more than others, and they can avoid other issues they run into school through remote learning. But it seems like there should have been a backup plan a little bit saying, "Okay, we will go remote if we have reached this threshold." And then again - because it's not like we don't have experience with this now, and it just seems like this patchwork closures of school here and there creates problems and confusion for parents that are dealing with that right now. [00:49:37] Crystal Fincher: Yeah, and just the level of anxiety and confusion and just feeling abandoned by the people who were supposed to be responsible for this, who were supposed to plan, is unfortunate. A lot of anger from a lot of corners coming to teachers who are just in the middle of this whole thing, not in control of any of the district decisions, not in control of this pandemic - trying to stay healthy, trying to help their kids, and navigate through this whole thing. I think lots of people are choosing from a menu of bad choices. I think that's where people are at. It does not feel good, but we need better from leadership, we need better from elected leaders, we need at least better communication, right? Communicate clearly with notice, frequently understand that people's lives are upended day-by-day when this is happening. And it's just a lot, and I think that people are frustrated at levels that we haven't seen before, period. [00:50:54] Melissa Santos: Yeah. I mean and I will say I guess for Seattle, they do have a threshold, but it's very high. It says in this one Seattle Times story the district will consider shifting to remote learning for 10 days if the student absence rate is approaching 50% at elementary schools. That's very high and it does seem like there's individual schools that are getting announced that they're closing. And then what does that mean for those students at one school over? That's a confusing situation that's developed, where last minute notifications that one school is closed, but then district-wide, it's not uniform. I think that makes it hard for people, and I don't think it's easy for the district. I don't think it's easy for the teachers. I don't think it's easy for the parents or the kids. It's all very bad. I mean every choice is not great. Okay, that's not much of an observation. Everyone knows this, but - [00:51:47] Crystal Fincher: Yeah. I mean it's a thing, but I also think that while leaders better get to addressing this, people are feeling this in an acute way on a daily basis right now, and to ignore that is not wise. And understanding that speaking to it, trying to do anything possible to let people know that you actually are trying to help them, and not that you've just moved on, is necessary. [00:52:20] Melissa Santos: And I noticed the Governor - this is the state level and that's something the districts say is - we're required to stay open as much as we can right now under state policy. And I don't know at what point the state changes its view, and I don't know - I haven't been keeping up as closely with what the specific requirements down from the state are now, but that's something that districts have said, is that they're hamstrung a little bit by the state. The governor as recently as last week, this week probably, has said we need to do whatever we can to keep schools open. But we have State Senators, it seems like a couple a day practically, or at least - testing positive for COVID. I mean at one point on Monday, it seemed like almost 10% of the State Senate had contracted COVID, and that was just on the first day of legislative session. [00:53:01] Crystal Fincher: And one State Senator died of COVID. [00:53:04] Melissa Santos: And one State Senator died of COVID. Oh well, technically his family will not confirm it was of COVID, but he died after contracting COVID. And he was in the hospital, where he had been airlifted with COVID, so that seems to be the logical conclusion that he died of COVID last month. I don't think anyone disagrees in person is better - [00:53:25] Crystal Fincher: Well, there's some legislators saying, "No, we absolutely should be in person." It's just like, "Well, there might be..." Of course, ideally, people want it in person and I always get this sense, sometimes get this sense from some people, where they think that people are enjoying these mitigation factors, or enjoying being at home, or enjoying schools being shut down, and this is just all a big obviously conspiracy ploy and this is a joyful thing. This is painful for everyone. These are all bad choices that people are faced with. But the bottom line is - if we try and be careful today that minimizes the irreversible damage for a lot of people. I mean, people have died, people are dying, people have long COVID, people are becoming disabled with chronic illness because of this. And if that can be avoided, that is a factor in this. We can't ignore that that is a thing that is happening. [00:54:33] Melissa Santos: And I see the research about how - I mean, especially kids - a year or two years is so long of their life, that the damage of their effects on their socialization and education, I completely get that. I think about it with my kid, but he's also in a class of 6, and not 30 in school. I mean so I don't know. I worry about my kid's language development as well, even though he's mostly in school. And I understand that these are all things that have to be weighed, but I also think that we're peaking with Omicron apparently. Maybe this would really - would be just a month of doing what we've been doing for another... All right. You know what, I don't even know. I don't envy anyone who has to make these choices. [00:55:19] Crystal Fincher: Yeah, I think that's where everybody's at. I think that's where everybody's at, but it's rough. I feel for all of you dealing with all of this, and I just beg people who are making policy, influence policy, that you really connect with what people are going through on the ground every day, and just try to help that. If we help that, we help everyone. If we ignore that, a lot of bad things happen. With that, I appreciate all of you listening to Hacks & Wonks today, January 14th - Friday, January 14, 2022.

Racconto di Federico BettuzziGennaio 1942 in una villa sulla riva del lago Großer Wannsee nella periferia a sud di Berlino. Quindici personaggi di spicco del regime nazionalsocialista, del partito e delle Schutzstaffel (tra cui quattro segretari di Stato, due funzionari pubblici di grado equivalente e un sottosegretario) , su invito dell'SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, capo del Reichssicherheitshauptamt (Rsha), si riunirono per definire la cosiddetta «soluzione finale della questione ebraica»  e chiarire direttamente con i dirigenti delle strutture amministrative di potere del Terzo Reich potenzialmente concorrenti che l'intera operazione era, a partire dalle direttive ricevute fin dal luglio 1941 da Hermann Göring, competenza delle SS sotto l'autorità suprema di Heinrich Himmler e dello stesso Heydrich.Guarda Il Video Su Youtube: https://youtu.be/eY9pRpiSWkcIl Blog di Federico Bettuzzi: https://raccontidistoria.blogspot.com/Sostieni Noir Italiano su Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/noiritalianoDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racconti-di-storia-podcast--5561307/support.

„Deutsche Mutter, verpflichtest du dich, dein Kind im Geiste der nationalsozialistischen Weltanschauung zu erziehen? Bist du SS-Kamerad bereit, dieser Mutter und ihrem Kind, wenn sie in Not und Gefahr geraten, persönlichen Schutz zu verleihen. Bist du bereit, die Erziehung des Kindes im Sinne des Sippengedankens unserer Schutzstaffel stets zu überwachen?" (Heimleiter im Lebensbornheim bei der Namensgebungsfeier) Gegründet am 12. Dezember 1935 auf Anlass von Heinrich Himmler sollte der Lebensborn Unterkunft und Sicherheit für SS-Mütter und Mütter mit unehelichen Kindern bieten. Er war ein weiteres Zahnrad in der Soldatenfabrik der Nazis, die darauf ausgelegt war, möglichste viele „erbgesunde" zukünftige Krieger zu produzieren. Neben den wenigen Vorteilen, wie beispielsweise dem guten Essen und der relativen Sicherheit, hatten die Heime auch viele Nachteile, vor allem für die Kinder, die zu großen Teilen der fanatischen Ideologie der Nazis geschuldet waren.

„Was Deutschland in der Zukunft vor sich hat, ist entweder das großgermanische Imperium oder das Nichts. Ich habe den Glauben, wenn wir in dieser Schutzstaffel unsere Pflicht tun, dass dann der Führer dieses großgermanische Imperium schaffen wird, das größte Reich, das von der Menschheit errichtet wurde und das die Erde je gesehen hat." (Heinrich Himmler) Heinrich Himmler war einer der Hauptakteure des Holocaust, dem zwischen 5,6 und 6,3 Millionen Menschen zum Opfer fielen. Als Organisator der „Endlösung" berief er sich wiederholt auf Befehle Hitlers, die es jedoch höchstwahrscheinlich weder schriftlich noch mündlich je gegeben hat. Ein überzeugter Antisemit bis zum Schluss, der an der Front scheiterte und selbst auf der Flucht noch Terror zu verbreiten wusste. In dieser Folge berichten wir über das Ende dieses Massenmörders.

DN Aidit berbicara kepada Bernhard Kalb dari media asal AS, Columbia Broadcasting System alias CBS, bahwa PKI akan mengusulkan membentuk Angkatan Kelima agar 15 juta buruh dan tani dipersenjatai. Bung Karno pun juga mendapatkan masukan politik dari Pemimpin Tiongkok Mao Zedong beserta Menteri Chou En-lai yang mengatakan bahwa sudah hukum wajib agar buruh dan tani dipersenjatai untuk memperkuat perlawanan melawan kaum neo kolonialis-imperialis. Hal ini mirip dengan pasukan Tentara Merah-nya Mao Zedong. Lalu seperti apa gagasan Angkatan Kelima yang diusung oleh PKI ini? Benarkah model angkatan yang oleh beberapa pihak disebut mirip Schutzstaffel atau SS NaziI Jerman ini hanya menjadi strategi PKI untuk memperkuat barisan menuju revolusi komunis?

The Nazi Party founded a paramilitary organisation that became the Schutzstaffel, better known as the ...

On this episode, quarter-cocked non-participant in the January 6th capitol insurrection, Tom, and San Bernardino county beatboxing championship runner-up, V, whip out their throbbing GDPenises in front of the U.N. to establish future Star Trek world dominance. Tom discovers the terrifying secret to determining if a woman has had multiple abortions, and V fails the Schutzstaffel physical for having the wrong color hair, eyes, and not being white enough.

One of the top Nazi officials was Heinrich Himmler, the man in charge of the dreaded SS, and Himmler was known to engage in the occult. He followed the paganism of pre-Christian Germany, something that was strongly associated with the German nationalism of the Nazi regime, and actively involved with black magic. He tried to practice necromancy, the magical art of raising people from the dead, and frequently held seances to try to contact the dead. The center of his occultic life was a place called Wewelsburg Castle, in the black forests of northern Germany. Here, he and many other Nazi officials engaged in their occultic practices. Himmler wanted SS recruits to think and live as their ancestors had. So, on July 1, 1935, Himmler founded a new SS research institute to reconstruct all aspects of primeval German culture. Officially, the organization was known as the “Deutsche Ahnenerbe” Studiengesellschaft für Geistesurgeschichte—meaning “German Ancestral Heritage” Society for the Study of the History of Primeval Ideas. But most soon began calling it the “Ahnenerbe.” They had the strange purpose of finding “evidence” that linked German ancestry to the Aryan master race, who were believed to have come from long-lost advanced civilizations. Ahnenerbe research included everything from archaeological expeditions, to witchcraft, to psychic research, and macabre human experiments. Himmler, who despised the Judaeo-Christian religion, hoped to obtain pagan incantations and rituals to be used as part of his planned pagan religion. Later he set up the SS Witches Division which investigated the persecution of pagan wise women at the hands of Jews and Catholics. A team of seventeen SS officers worked secretly for a unit called the ‘Special Assignment H' unit (H for Haxen, or ‘witches'), carrying out a project that was ordered directly by Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler, and overseen by SS officer Rudolf Levin. The SS Witches Division was set up to try to find evidence that witches had existed and had been hunted to death by the Jews in a twisted attempt to justify the Nazi hatred of Jewish people These are just a couple of Henirich Himmler's many occult and paranormal interests. He was obsessed with re-writing German history and making it something more akin to his own liking. Was Himmler crazy, or worse - did he want to turn himself into a living god?

Ahmad Dhani memakai baju yang dianggap mirip dengan baju Heinrich Himmler, seorang Reichsführer atau pemimpin tertinggi dari Schutzstaffel alias organisasi paramiliter Nazi Jerman. Fenomena tersebut juga menjadi perdebatan lanjutan ketika di tahun 2017-an lalu muncul beberapa kafe yang bertemakan Nazi dan Hitler di Indonesia yang juga lagi-lagi menarik perhatian media-media asing. Banyak perdebatan yang muncul terkait apakah hal-hal tersebut hanya fenomena semata, atau jangan-jangan pengaruh Nazi Hitler dan fasisme sebetulnya telah ada sejak lama di Indonesia?

(Sturmabteilung) and eventually the S.S. (Schutzstaffel), Staying loyal to First Principles by knowing what Rights are, Mark’s personal disappointment with people in the so-called "Truth Community" who have abandoned First Principles at the first sign of perceived danger to themselves, How the State wants to engineer a Race War so people will continue to fight each other instead of identifying the State itself as the True Enemy, Ego-Identification of Race, Politics, Gender, Age, Class, etc., are Divide-And-Conquer strategies that most people still fall for, the One True Divide in Humanity is between those who understand that Government is SLAVERY and those who do not understand that Eternal Truth, NO LIVES MATTER to Government and its CULT henchmen, the Lives of Human Beings "matter" to the CULT called "Government" in the exact same way that the lives of animals "matter" to Meat Farmers, The Murder of George Floyd was an example of a House Slave Thug murdering a Field Slave, Government is a Straight-Line Vector for Psychopaths, Control-Freaks, Bullies and Racists, As soon as most "freedom advocates" become afraid they call for Police and Military to protect them because most of them are COWARDS, ALL Police and Military are Oppressors and Enslavers because they enforce the dictates of these Freedom-destroying institutions, Natural Law IS First Principles and we must CONSISTENTLY stay TRUE and LOYAL to it, even above LIFE itself, the Justice and Strength cards of the Tarot and their significant inter-connection to each other, the Development of inner Courage as a pathway to the establishment of True Freedom.

Neste episódio, ouça em primeira mão as memórias de Otto Skorzeny sobre a Operação Barbarossa, quando ainda era um oficial de artilharia vinculado à Divisão Grossdeutschland. Otto Skorzeny foi um oficial da Schutzstaffel, especialista em operações especiais durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Era considerado pelos Aliados como "o homem mais perigoso da Europa". Tal fama era devida às várias operações de sabotagem, espionagem e resgate comandadas por ele, como a Operação Greif, durante a Batalha das Ardenas e a Operação Carvalho, a libertação de Benito Mussolini após a capitulação da Itália.

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. Nazis were one of the worst villains in world history, but have taken a life of their own in B-movies. The latest horror film OVERLORD (2018) is about a Nazis and the very common theme of trying to make the super soldier. In JJ Abrams’ latest produced film, not only is such a threat imminent but also somewhat grotesque. As the Allies ready for the D-Day invasion, American paratroopers are sent behind enemy lines to take down German communication towers. A local church that towers over a French village has been used as a beacon for the Schutzstaffel communiqué. With most of the squad killed after a brutal attack, Corporal Ford (Wyatt Russell) must lead a group of survivors to the small farming town in hope to finish the mission. The film stars Wyatt Russell, Jovan Adepo, and Pilou Asbaek. Originally planned as part of the CLOVERFIELD film universe, the movie became a standalone after the failure of the earlier release CLOVERFIELD PARADOX. Receiving fairly good reviews by critics, the movie quickly died at the box office with barely any press. Dark Discussions takes a look at this modern drive-in movie and gives their thoughts. As always we welcome your comments: darkdiscussions@aol.com (written email or attached mp3 files) WWW.DARKDISCUSSIONS.COM

Documental de historia sobre las fuerzas militares alemanas las cuales combatieron en el conflicto bélico de la Segunda Guerra Mundial(1939-1945) las cuales tuvieron como cuerpos militares a la Luftwaffe, la División Panzer, la Waffen SS y la Wehrmacht. La Luftwaffe era la fuerza aérea de Alemania en la época nazi la cual fue creada en el año 1924 y fue reorganizada tras la llegada de los nazis al poder y oficialmente desvelada en 1935 cuyo propósito era apoyar la guerra relámpago (Blitzkrieg) de Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) a través de Europa.Los aviones de combate que iban a servir en la Luftwaffe alemana eran de una nueva era y técnicamente superiores a la mayoría de las aeronaves de las otras naciones en los años de la década del treinta. Probada en combate en la Guerra Civil Española(1936-1939), la Luftwaffe era una de las fuerzas aéreas más fuertes, doctrinalmente avanzadas y más experimentadas en combate del mundo en el momento que estalló la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Europa en septiembre de 1939. Las divisiones panzer eran unas formaciones de armas combinadas teniendo como componentes orgánicos tanto a los blindados como a la infantería, así como la artillería, los cañones antiaéreos, las transmisiones, etc. que son comunes en la mayor parte de las divisiones militares de la era industrial. Las divisiones panzer alemanas fueron uno de los principales recursos del éxito militar alemán en las operaciones relámpago en los primeros años de la guerra. Al contrario de la mayoría de los ejércitos de esa época, que organizaban sus carros de combate en brigadas de tanques, las cuales necesitaban el apoyo de la infantería y la artillería, la División Panzer tenían sus propias unidades de apoyo dentro de sí mismos, lo cual llevó a un cambio automático en la doctrina militar: en lugar de ver los carros de combate como unidades de apoyo para las operaciones de otras unidades, los tanques se convirtieron en el principal foco de atención, con otras unidades dándoles apoyo a ellos. Las Waffen SS era el cuerpo de combate de élite de las Schutzstaffel (más conocida como las SS, o escuadrones de protección). Dirigidas por el Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945), las Waffen SS participaron en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Comenzaron como una unidad de protección y de choque de la dirección del Partido Nazi, hasta convertirse en una fuerza de combate de 950.000 soldados aproximadamente, de los que 352.000 murieron en acción y 50.000 desaparecieron en acción. Por último, hay que mencionar a la Wehrmacht la cual era el nombre de las fuerzas armadas unificadas de la Alemania nazi desde el año 1935 hasta el año 1945, surgida tras la disolución de las fuerzas armadas de la República de Weimar (Fue un régimen político constituido en Alemania desde el año 1919 hasta el año 1933), llamadas Reichswehr. La Wehrmacht estaba compuesta por el Heer (el ejército), la Kriegsmarine (la armada) y la Luftwaffe (la fuerza aérea). Durante los primeros tres años de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la Wehrmacht logró unos triunfos completos y resonantes, derrotando a los ejércitos europeos con relativa facilidad, debido a su superioridad técnica y de doctrina militar, desarrollada por Alemania en los años posteriores a la derrota militar en la Primera Guerra Mundial (1914-1918). Esta superioridad quedó demostrada con el empleo de la Blitzkrieg (guerra relámpago), consistente en el empleo de movimientos rápidos de tropas, de una mortífera combinación de tanques en extensas formaciones (las divisiones panzer), infantería y artillería motorizada, y aviación de apoyo a las fuerzas terrestres. Esta doctrina dejó obsoleta con sus aplastantes triunfos la doctrina militar imperante en la mayoría de los ejércitos europeos, aferrados aún a las defensas estáticas y a la guerra de trincheras, consideradas como válidas desde el final de la Primera Guerra Mundial.

Documental de historia sobre las fuerzas militares alemanas las cuales combatieron en el conflicto bélico de la Segunda Guerra Mundial(1939-1945) las cuales tuvieron como cuerpos militares a la Luftwaffe, la División Panzer, la Waffen SS y la Wehrmacht. La Luftwaffe era la fuerza aérea de Alemania en la época nazi la cual fue creada en el año 1924 y fue reorganizada tras la llegada de los nazis al poder y oficialmente desvelada en 1935 cuyo propósito era apoyar la guerra relámpago (Blitzkrieg) de Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) a través de Europa.Los aviones de combate que iban a servir en la Luftwaffe alemana eran de una nueva era y técnicamente superiores a la mayoría de las aeronaves de las otras naciones en los años de la década del treinta. Probada en combate en la Guerra Civil Española(1936-1939), la Luftwaffe era una de las fuerzas aéreas más fuertes, doctrinalmente avanzadas y más experimentadas en combate del mundo en el momento que estalló la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Europa en septiembre de 1939. Las divisiones panzer eran unas formaciones de armas combinadas teniendo como componentes orgánicos tanto a los blindados como a la infantería, así como la artillería, los cañones antiaéreos, las transmisiones, etc. que son comunes en la mayor parte de las divisiones militares de la era industrial.

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. Japanese horror, Korean horror, French horror, Australian horror, and then there is Norwegian horror. With a wave of foreign genre films getting international releases through festivals, conventions, or disc/VOD, Norway has joined the fray of quite impressive genre movies to hit our dvd shelves. Films such as Next Door, Troll Hunter, the Cold Prey flicks, and Thale are just a handful. With the December disc release of Dead Snow 2, your co-hosts turn to the franchise of zombie Nazi films that have come from Norway. During WWII, Germany invaded Norway and just like many occupied nations, the Schutzstaffel followed; the notorious Nazi squad that murdered millions of civilians and prisoners-of-war. The Dead Snow franchise focuses on a lost SS squad that died in the mountains of the Lapp region of the country. Now seventy years later, they have returned as zombies to wreak havoc, revenge, and death to the small fishing communities of the north. Written by Stig Frode Henriksen (who also co-stars in both films) and director Tommy Wirkola, the first film from 2009 brought international attention to the director who has since gone on to major Hollywood films. With Dead Snow's success, the follow up, Dead Snow 2 (2014), was even more successful and the two films have become not only cult classics but also some of the best horror zombie comedies of all time. Dark Discussions focuses on the two films and gives their opinions. As always we welcome your comments: darkdiscussions@aol.com (written email or attached mp3 files) WWW.DARKDISCUSSIONS.COM

09.11.1925: Am 9. November 1925 wurde die SS gegründet, zunächst als Untergliederung der SA. Berüchtigt wurde die "Schutzstaffel" unter ihrem Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler, einem Biedermann mit Hang zu skurriler Germanentümelei. Durch seine bedingungslose Treue zu Hitler brachte er es zum wohl zweitmächtigsten Mann im NS-Staat.
