June 1944. France. A SS soldier of the Hitler Youth Division fires away with his MG 42 machine gun
German Field Marshal General Erwin Rommel inspects army coastal defense of Normandy. In January 1944, Rommel was appointed commander of Army Group "B" in northern France. He tried to make the "Atlantic Wall" a serious obstacle to the Allied forces. However, due to strategic differences with the commander of the entire German army group in France - Field Marshal Rundstedt, a single plan to defend the western border of the Reich has not been developed, which led to the slow and inconsistent actions of the German troops during the Allied landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944.

History Quotes
May 1945 - If hell on earth existed, than it existed in Prague after May the 5th. 1945. Old men, women and children were beaten to death and maimed. Rapes, barbaric cruelties, horror-scenarios of hellish proportions - here they had been let lose.
- Ludek Pachmann, Czech Chess-Grand Master and publicist, forty years after the fact.

Snippets From History
Paulus didn't give the order to 6th Army to surrender, but his troops no longer had much fight left in them. Resistance faded out over the next two days, with the last die-hards finally calling it quits. One Red Army colonel shouted at a group of prisoners, waving at the ruins all around them: "That's how Berlin is going to look!

Points to Ponder: Why Is China Unstable?
The aim of individuals in any society is money and power. Societies that give equal chance to all its members to get them will be the most stable. That is why democracies are more stable than other systems of governance.
China after Deng's reform gave the chance to get rich but power is in the hands of an elite; the Communist Party of China. Membership to the party is at the whims of the local party bosses. This leaves out many people who crave political power dissatisfied and disgruntled. There in lies the roots of instability. The Party suppressed these demands once at Tiananmen in 1989. But force is hardly the way to deal with things like these.
