This blogpost is an attempt to figure out some unknown and not so famous facts during the era Nazi Germany which boasted of reigning for 1000 years but ended in the late 1945 when Adolf Hitler, their leader shot a bullet through his mouth and killed himself thereby “killing” the era of Nazism.
A bit of caution dear reader, do not try to get on my head seeing the randomness and difference in time where the following happened, the stuff written below are some reads I found interesting and may seem random at times, so take it with a pinch of salt.
Mein Kampf – Hitler’s Autobiography
There isn’t any book which captures the mind of Adolf Hitler more deeply that the book written by himself- “Mein Kampf” and to put it in perspective, Mein Kampf is considered as the Bible of National Socialism a.k.a Nazism.
While “Mein Kampf” simply means “My Struggle”,Adolf Hitler initially thought of naming his book as Viereinhalb Jahre (des Kampfes) gegen Lüge, Dummheit und Feigheit when translated to English is “Four and a Half Years (of Struggle) Against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice”.
But his Business minded Nazi Publisher Max Amann thought it was a bad idea.
Max Amann was the then manager who looked onto Nazi Publications and later set up the biggest publishing house in Germany solely by the proceeds received from the of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf.

Max Amann simply felt the long title to be “Unsalable” and later persuaded Hitler to change the title to “Mein Kampf” which was felt more short and compelling.
Mein Kampf was a blockbuster during the Nazi regime, Only the bible could hold up with the sales of Mein Kampf .
While it seems that Mein Kampf had a perfect run,It did not.
Max Amann during the first year of sales exaggerated that the book was sold well over 23000 times.
It was later found to be an exaggeration after the Allied forces found out the Royalty statement of the book in 1945 (The same year Hitler did the best thing he ever did in his life–Shooting himself in hie head)
It was later on revealed that the book could just sell over 9400 copies in it first year and dropping to as low as 7600 in 1929–which was considered fairly low for a book which despised the word “unsuccessful” although the book sales plummeted to One million when Hitler took over the country in 1933 making him the most prosperous author in Germany (Basically JK Rowling of his time).
And when the World War II broke out,Mein Kampf sold over 6 million copies in Germany.
Another interesting stuff was that it became a routine to present a copy of Mein Kampf to the bride and groom at their wedding, and every children was presented a copy of Mein Kampf after their graduation.
Many prominent leaders do not have their own writings condensed into a book and hence we simply can’t know what their true intentions were.
With “Mein Kampf” we can simply learn that Adolf Hitler was not an insane man,But he was a man who simply was so intelligently cruel that would make Satan run for his mondey
GODWIN’S LAW
Godwin’s Law is an internet adage asserting that
“As an online discussion grows longer, The probability of comparison involving Nazis or Adolf Hitler approaches the probability of 1”
In simple terms,”if you mention Adolf Hitler or Nazis within a discussion thread, you’ve automatically ended whatever discussion you were taking part in.”
ORIGIN OF GODWIN’S LAW-
The Godwin’s Law was formulated by the American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990.
Mike Godwin initially refered it to Usenet NewsGroup Discussions.(For those who don’t Know What Usernet is,It is simply a forum almost similar to reddit)
In 2012,The Term “Godwin’s Law” was added to the Oxford Dictionary.
So,Is the Godwin’s Law True?,I found out Mike Godwin’s answer which was published on 2014,It was as Follows-
Although Godwin’s Law is framed as a probability statement, its purpose is to make people think twice before following the rhetorical line of least resistance and escalating their arguments to comparisons that trivialize the impact of the Nazis and the Holocaust. In short, its purpose is to trigger (insistently) a reader’s historical awareness and perspective, especially in contexts where perspective has otherwise been lost. So why frame it as a kind of statistical or natural law? Because the kinds of people who reflexively bring up Hitler or Nazis in order to trash the argument or opponent du jour hate to discover that they’re merely instantiating a lazy intellectual tendency so common that it seems like a natural law — they would rather think of themselves as free-willed, independent thinkers
Hitler, Nazi’s and their love for animals.
On 1934, The Reich Hunting Law was enacted which limited hunting. The act also created the German Hunting Society with a mission to educate the hunting community in ethical hunting.
Nazi Germany was also the first state in the world to place the wolf under protection.

In Nazi Germany, people who mistreated their pets could be sentenced to two years in jail. The Nazis banned docking the ears and tails of dogs without anesthesia.
Hitler was said to be a vegetarian throughout his life, There is no real reason to why he became a vegetarian. (maybe because he hated killing, lol).
In 1942, he self-identified as a vegetarian (Some modern-day analyses have speculated that Hitler’s vegetarianism may have been for health reasons)
Göring (Hitler’s main man) banned commercial animal trapping and imposed severe restrictions on hunting.
He prohibited boiling of lobsters and crabs. In one incident, he sent a fisherman to a concentration camp for cutting up a bait frog.
Nazi Germany enacted another law called Reich Animal Protection Act. This law prohibited the use of animals for film-making or any such activities which could cause mental or physical pain to animals.
In 1936, a special law was passed regarding the correct way of dispatching lobsters and crabs and thus mitigating their painful deaths.
When the Nazi’s were busy killing Jew’s in the concentration camp’s, They made laws to protect the suffering of lobsters which were killed for food in Berlin hotels. Pretty ironic..
The Luftwaffe and Big Ben
During World War Two, BBC News was broadcast to Nazi-occupied Europe. Each news programme opened with a live broadcast of The Big Ben tolling the hour — the magical sound of freedom.
The Genius German physicists found a way to determine the weather conditions in London based on tiny differences in the tone of the broadcast ding-dongs.

This information offered invaluable help to the Luftwaffe.
Luftwaffe is a generic German term for an air force. It was also the official name for the Nazi air force founded in 1935. Led by Hermann Goering, it became the largest and most powerful in Europe by the start of World War Two.

The Luftwaffe could now use the information of the weather in London to make valuable decisions in the war. When the British Secret Service discovered this, they replaced the live broadcast with a set recording of the famous clock.
