KozmoNaut posted:The most Austrian photo, you mean. This supposed fact - that Hitler is seen as 100% Austrian today - has been bugging me lately, so when I saw this I just had to reply even if it's been a year and change since you wrote it. So even though I'm quoting you, this isn't really a response to your quote so much as a place for me to write down some thoughts I've had on the subject lately. I'd say that Hitler could count as either Austrian or German, seeing how he was born in Austria-Hungary - an empire with many nationalities. The German-speakers of the empire used to be seen as Germans, but by the time Hitler was born this had become a bit more complicated by the German unification that didn't include the Germans living in Austria-Hungary. Either way, it's clear that Hitler felt more German than Austro-Hungarian seeing as how he moved to Germany and fought in WWI for the German army. After the war, AH shatters into many pieces, one of which is Austria. So even if Hitler clearly saw himself as German here, now that Austria exists you could call him an Austrian immigrant and be correct. Until Hitler gets into politics and eventually becomes the dictator of Germany, because that's when he goes and has Germany annex Austria. For the rest of Hitler's life, Austria is just a part of Germany. So calling him an Austrian immigrant makes no sense anymore. So Hitler was born in AH but clearly saw himself as German so moved to Germany before WWI. Since he managed to join the German army he obviously wasn't seen as foreign by other Germans. He was also very successful in politics as a German nationalist, his party growing large enough to eventually seize total power in a coup. He then had Germany annex Austria - a country he had never lived in. When he killed himself he had been the sole ruler in Germany for over a decade, and there was no country called Austria anywhere. But because the town he was born in is in Austria today, he is now 100% Austrian and 0% German? Ok, so those were the problems I could think of with viewing Hitler as purely Austrian. Did I miss anything? I should mention that I am neither Austrian or German btw, and my intent isn't to shift people's opinion over to 100% German Hitler. I just have a pet peeve with historical figures ending up with "canonical" nationalities that come with issues. In this case I feel like treating Austrian and German as a binary choice is probably downright misleading for understanding the time period.

I only intended to make Hitler's placement on the Austrian-German axis a bit more mobile here, so Hitler's placement on a good-evil axis shouldn't have moved at all, and certainly not all the way to good! Maybe check if your good-evil lever is connected to your Germany-Austria lever?

Maybe, just perhaps, his views on what does or does not make people german is why we call him Austrian and that everyone is just taking the piss out of him? It's not like he invaded Austria over it or anything.

Caption says these are bondefangere = "farmer-trappers/catchers" (ie. conmen, cf. German Bauernfänger, like the Rattenfänger = pied piper) snaring their prey at Café Amerika in Copenhagen circa 1912, though I can't imagine what the scam is.

 Mercury train running Washington Street in front of the city hall of Syracuse, New York Mercury operation started on July 15, 1936. Trains ceased to run the streets in Syracuse on September 24, 1936, after the completion of an elevated line and a station at Erie Boulevard. Presumably the photograph was taken between those dates. I would argue that it’s on the earlier end because Syracuse is not in the tropics and those shadows are awfully small. It can’t be that far from noon, or that far from the summer solstice.

The Mallard exists in working order and lives in the National Railway museum. Built on 3rd march 1938, and on 3rd July it broke the speed record. Pictured on that date:  Click through to find out what colour she is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4468_Mallard

 “A fabric womb made by Angélique du Coudray, a French midwife who was commissioned by King Louis XV to reduce infant mortality. From 1760 to 1783, she traveled all over France, visiting poor rural women and sharing her extensive knowledge with them. It is estimated that she trained some 10,000 women.”

That's a really well-done model also whoa already from 1672, midwives had to be certified in Denmark (teaching and exams by the state-certified town physicians who were taught at the university). I would have expected much later! There were many uncertified ones, though. One of my ancestors was a certified midwife in the early 1800s & I found some complaints she made that the local women would use a couple of old women in the town rather than her. I know from other sources that she was a pretty terrible person, so probably it was unrelated to any skill issues or lack thereof. Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 07:38 on Mar 27, 2023 |

Educational use of lovingly crafted models is tight. If you got a physical tangible model than people learn in a completely different way from the more common methods and more of the information is likely to stick.

By popular demand posted:Educational use of lovingly crafted models is tight. We were on a class trip to Eureka back in the 1990s. There were some trenches dug in the back yard with a korsu (IDK what it's called in English) with all the furnishings. There were some mannequins in the korsu, dressed in old uniforms. Newmatumbo took one of the rifle-cleaning rods, pulled down the pants of a mannequin lying on a bunk, and shoved the rod up its spruehole. I often wondered how long it took for someone to notify staff/it to be removed. There was a lot of traffic.

They're really incredibly detailed, and it was cool being able to walk around them and look from all sides.
