“Historians still often see the end of the war as meaning nothing more for Germany than lost territories, lost participation in colonization, and lost assets for the state and individuals. They frequently overlook the most serious loss that Germany suffered.” StillsWarEndsStatesIndividualLostLossSeriousGermanyAssetsTerritoryHistorianParticipationColonizationMeaning Nothing Author:Gustav Stresemann
“I hope that the outside world will realise that Hitler's government has no idea of steering towards war, even though this has often been asserted abroad. As Adolf Hitler himself has said, Germany has no need of another war to avenge the loss of her military honour, because she never lost that honour. Germany does not want war of any kind. Germany wants real and abiding peace.” WorldWantNeedsKindDoeSaidIdeasWarRealGovernmentLostLossMilitaryNo IdeaGermanyHonourRealisingAbidingOutside WorldSteering Author:Rudolf Hess
“Perhaps if Hitler had had the wisdom to withdraw his troops and prepare for the defense of his own country, Germany, despite the loss of face this would entail in the losing of all Italy, then the course of the war, if not the outcome, would have been quite different.” IfsHas BeensDifferentWarCountryFacesCoursesLossLosingDefenseDespiteOutcomesGermanyTroops Author:Christopher Vokes
“There is no question that a breakup of the euro would be very damaging, very costly, both financially and politically. And the biggest loss would be incurred by Germany. Germans have to bear in mind that, effectively, they have suffered practically no losses so far. Transfers have all been in the form of loans, and it is only when the loans are not repaid that real losses will be incurred.” MindRealWould BeFormLossBearsGermanyBreakupLoanTransfersEuro Author:George Soros

“It is important to remember when making jokes about women, that they are not a minority.

“The Islamists had control over territory that was about half the size of the Federal Republic of Germany. For years, we have been putting the lives of our troops on the line, we have taken huge losses and the Europeans cut the budget? If money is more important than the lives of our children, what else is this than the usual arrogance and superficiality? And where is all this terror coming from? It is a result of mistakes the West committed in Pakistan and Afghanistan in the 1980s, when they armed the Islamic rebels against the Soviet troops.” IfsYearsChildrenHas BeensImportantLinesLossResultsMistakeHalfTakenCuttingHugeOur ChildrenWestSizeTerrorCommittedBudgetsArroganceGermanyIslamicRepublicTerritoryRebelAfghanistanUsualSovietTroopsPakistanOur TroopsSuperficialityIslamists Author:Yoweri Museveni
