World War II

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-World War II.wav

As students all over the United States knuckle down to learning, the rumble of war drums once more proclaims Mars high man in Europe. Discarding morbid curiosity, every student should consider it vitally necessary to get a general picture of the causes, movements, and possible effects of World War II. The average U. S. citizen's knowledge of World War II will probably decide his role in it.

1939 November 10, “Following The War”, in The Chart, volume I, number 1, Joplin, Missouri: Joplin Junior College, page 4, column 1:

Nothing since the beginning of World War II, a year ago last September, has boosted British morale or given them greater courage to fight on as has this brilliant Libyan campaign.

1941 March, Frederick M. Barrows, “The War in Africa”, in Command and General Staff School Military Review, volume XXI, number 80, →OCLC, page 23, column 1:

If Demandt's essay served as a strident example of the German desire for normalcy, a more subtle example was provided by a brief allohistorical depiction of a Nazi victory in World War II written by German historian Michael Salewski in 1999.

2005 May 23, Gavriel D. Rosenfeld, The World Hitler Never Made: Alternate History and the Memory of Nazism, Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 182:

The tiny island of Tinian was the launch point for American planes carrying atomic bombs to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Now a new runway is being carved from the jungle, just south of World War II ruins inked with mildew.

[T]he seven Imperial electors who chose the [Holy Roman] emperor controlled him by the pledges exacted from him as the price of his election. These electors were the king of Bohemia, the rulers of Saxony, Brandenburg, and the Palatinate, and the "spiritual electors"—the archbishops of Cologne, Trier, and Mainz.

Hanover, seat of the electors, was an attractive small town set on the River Leine.

Kaiser

Inherited from Middle English kayser, from Old High German keisar (“emperor”), from Proto-West Germanic *kaisar, from Proto-Germanic *kaisaraz. The native Old English descendant of that Proto-Germanic word was cāser (“emperor”), but the shape of Middle English kayser (“emperor”) (versus the expected *caser, *coser) suggests it was borrowed from another Germanic language rather than inherited, and the modern English spelling and sense seem to be modified after modern German rather than a direct continuation of Middle English. Compare tsar, which was borrowed from Slavic.
Doublet of Caesar and tsar.

Despite pressure on the CDU’s Armin Laschet to relinquish his claim to a place in government after the party returned its historically worst ever result, he is forging ahead in his attempts to woo both the Greens and the pro-business FDP to form a CDU-led Jamaica coalition, so-called due to yellow, black and green colours of the three parties matching those of Jamaica’s flag.

The shirts of this company magazine Ökotest in its May issue just recently recommended, also because „Novotex“ doesn’t do „crunchy granola wear“ and because the concept is consequential from beginning to end.

Die klassischen Wahlmilieus existieren längst nicht mehr; Katholiken wählen nicht mehr automatisch die Union, Arbeiter nicht mehr die SPD, Beamte und Müslifresser nicht mehr die Grünen und Unternehmer nicht mehr primär die FDP.

Welcher Fortschritt es sein soll, dass sich Frauen nachts nicht mehr allein in Parks wagen können, wie die Bürgermeisterin von Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg zugibt, nicht mehr allein joggen gehen zu sollen, wegen angeblich unpassender Kleidung auf der Straße angepöbelt werden, Voklsfeste nur noch hinter Merkel-Pollern, oder, wie in Werder das Baumblütenfest, gar nicht mehr stattfinden, weil die erhöhten Sicherheitsmaßnahmen nicht mehr bezahlt werden können, dass Weihnachtsmärkte Festungen gleichen und die Gewaltkriminalität explodiert, erklärt Quent nicht.

2020 January 21, Vera Lengsfeld, Was noch gesagt werden muss: Meine Kommentare 2019, BoD – Books on Demand, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 200:

Begonnen hat das große Schweigen und die gesamte Sicherheitsproblematik allerdings mit Merkels Türöffnung und ihrem Chaoszitat "Wir schaffen das". Ihr zu Ehren wurden als erstes Markt- und Stadtplätze mit Beton-Pollern ausgestattet, die in kurzer Zeit ihren Namen trugen. Bunt angestrichen schienen sie die neue Schönheit dieser bunten Republik zu repräsentieren und sagen zu wollen: "Mein Name ist Merkel und ich sorge für deine Sicherheit!" Inzwischen haben die deutschen Städte alle für viel Geld Merkel-Poller in Alu, Stahl, Kunststoff, Beton, wassergefüllt usw. anschaffen wollen und für die Sicherheit ihrer Bewohner auch anschaffen müssen. Rostock beispielsweise hat schon 515.000 Euro für Anti-Terror-Poller und LKW-Absperranlagen ausgegeben.
