German Success With Blitzkrieg : 1939-1942
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper that begins by explaining the concept and history of blitzkrieg, a combat war tactic that was initially advanced by a British Colonel. Given Germany's limited resources at the end of World War I, they needed to build their military forces to be stronger and faster; they not only used the idea of blitzkrieg, they enhanced it, especially when Hitler took power in 1933. This essay discusses the essential elements of a blitzkrieg attack and how the Germans used this tactic successfully until 1942. Their attempt to take the Soviet Union and the whole of North Africa led to defeat, however. The importance of logistics, particularly those over which military leaders cannot control, are discussed. The use of blitzkrieg in Poland, France, Belgium, Holland and other nations is explained and discussed as is the eventual downfall of the German military. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Heroism and the Human Experience
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing heroism, humanity including the examples given in the lives of Hiltgunt Zassenhaus, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Jimmy Carter. Heroism has many different classical and modern definitions but the most acceptable and all inclusive are those definitions which include the fusion of mind and body. The mind of a hero can recognize basic human values which are being ignored and feels the need to defend them against adversity. The body of a hero is the action element which separates heroes from the rest of society. Heroes create positive actions in defence of basic human values despite the inaction of those around them. Modern day examples of real heroes can be seen in the lives of: Hiltgunt Zassenhaus who at the age of seventeen refused to raise her hand and speak “Heil Hitler” during the beginning of the Third Reich regime; Dietrich Bonhoeffer who also opposed the Nazi regime by protecting the Jews and conspiring to assassinate Hitler who eventually killed Bonhoeffer because of his involvement; and Jimmy Carter, who saw the injustices against African Americans in Georgia in 1962 despite legislation which ruled otherwise and decided to enter the political race to try and force humans to work together to attain a world of peace and justice. While theories of heroism are still being debated, Carl Jung believed that the psychological archetype of hero and warrior has always existed and always will exist in the collective unconscious of humans. The quality of the strength of individuals to overcome adversity and popular opinion continues in many aspects of culture and is used to inspire generations such as the inspirational messages found in Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Letters to a Young Poet” in which he asks that writers always follow their inner feelings. Overall, heroism is found in many forms but mostly it is found in people who not only intellectually are able to recognize injustices in the world but also are able to take action to defend human values and morals.

Hitler and the Lions (Comparing the Roman's Persecution of the Christians with Hitler's Persecution of the Jews)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Rome sporadically persecuted the Christians for about three hundred years of their rule. We could almost wonder if it gave leadership something to do once they felt they had conquered as much territory as possible, as the intensity of that persecution seemed to depend on the whims of the leader of the moment. There are few who would say that Hitler was whimsical in his treatment of the Jews. There is no doubt that both involved major persecutions: this discussion will compare and contrast some of the elements involved in both periods of history. Bibliography lists 2 sources)
