Rouge Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I was flicking through some old records in a millitary libary when i came accross one of hitlers last transmissions from berlin it reads:- "With the defeat of the Reich there will remain in the world only two great powers capable of confronting each other - the United States and Soveit Russia. The laws of both history and geography will compel these two powers to a trial of strength, either millitary of in the feilds of economics or ideology. And it is equally certain that both these powers will sooner or later find it desireable to seek support of the sole surviving great nation in Europe, the German people."- Adolf Hitler 2nd April,1945 He was right to.

Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 He was right about many things. Of course, he was wrong about many more. I wish the editor is SC would allow such a confrontation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinov Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Olaf Stapledon in the 20's sf classic "Last and First Men" was even more prescient; he predicted that china and the united states would become rival superpowers in the 21st century.

Bullwinkle Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Speaking of predictions, Karl Marx himself predicted that Germany would take on the world in 3 world wars. They would lose the first two and win the third. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wachtmeister Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Agree on the scene from Cabaret. - have never forgotten it. Chilling - yet - extremely compelling - like it or not. You will remember how the cynical older folks in the crowd including WWI vets, who knew for sure the real price of "glory", ended up singing as loud as anyone near the end. Worse, I now find it difficult to ge that song out of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyJohn Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Exactly -- your thoughts on it are the same as mine -- haunting music, haunting scene -- the forgotten chess game, the man scratching his head -- the robust adults who suddenly join in and the ballad becoming a military march. One of the most perfect scenes ever filmed and the subject never dies. [ November 20, 2002, 05:49 PM: Message edited by: JerseyJohn ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
