...James Dean Period 5 08 February 2013 Military Tattoo Policies Hey! Do you have any tattoos? Does it affect your job in any way? Well I know if you are in the military it can affect you. Military tattoo policies vary in each branch. They choose the policy based on, if the tattoos are a distraction from good military order and discipline, where they are located, how inappropriate they are and how many they have. I agree with these policies yet disagree also. Are your tattoos a distraction from good military order and discipline? In the Army tattoos on the hands and the back of the neck are now permitted as long as the tattoos are not extremist, indecent, sexist or racist. In the Coast Guard if any of your tattoos can be seen while in dress blues they are unauthorized, also in the Coast Guard no visible piercings are allowed. In the Marines they are prohibited from having a full sleeve tattoo, it does not look professional in dress blues. What would you say if you saw a man covered in tattoos protecting the president or anyone of high power? Me, personally, I do not think that tattoos that all over the body is professional, military or not if you are in a work environment tattoos should not be shown. Say you were a lawyer, is the judge or others going to take you very serious if you have tattoos on your hands, neck and face? I know I sure wouldn’t. No tattoos may not mean you are a certain kind of person, but they do not look professional. I do not personally have a tattoo...

...Manhattan alone that week. At the end of the race Zamperini tied with the record holder Don Lash. He qualified for the 1936 summer Olympics in Berlin Germany. Nobody thought that Zamperini or lash would have a chance at winning the Olympics. With the other athletes Zamperini went on a cruise. Zamperini had never really ate unhealthy before because his parents did not like being unhealthy. So once he got on to the boat and tasted all these things he fell in love. By the end of the trip he had gained 12 pounds. This was no advantage to his running career. They told him that he needed to lose 15 pounds. Zamperini finished his big race in eighth place. His last lap is fifty six seconds. That impressed Hitler and he demanded that he must meet Zamperini in person. As Zamperini told the story, Hitler shook his hand and said, "Ah, you're the boy with the fast...

...Which was the more important in allowing Hitler to strengthen his power in 1933-34, the Enabling Act or the Night of the Long Knives? Explain your answer. I believe the Night of the Long Knives was more important than the Enabling Act in allowing Hitler to strengthen his power in 1933-34, because the Night of the Long Knives warned any rivals of the consequences of challenging Hitler’s leadership, and got key groups such as the army on his side. The Night of the Long Knives took place on the 30th June 1934. SA leaders were rounded up by the SS, and many were executed, including the leader of the SA, Ernst Röhm. Hitler did this because he needed to please the Army generals, who were worried about the SA becoming the future German Army. The SA were also proving to be embarrassing at times, as their violent conduct, which had been so useful in getting Hitler into power, was now seen as unnecessary. Hitler believe that Röhm wanted to claim power for himself, and with the power of the SA, and if united, the army behind him, Röhm would pose a genuine threat to Hitler. All these reasons led to Hitler ordering the Night of the Long Knives. By doing so, the SA were removed as a threat, as their soldiers either joined the SS, led by the loyal Heinrich Himmler, or the German army. The army were so grateful to Hitler, that following President Hindenburg’s death, they swore an oath of personal loyalty to Hitler. It also showed any rivals that Hitler would deal with opposition ruthlessly,...

...have been avoided, considering the events prior to Germanys invasion of Poland I disagree with this statement. I strongly believe that Hitler wanted war and to spread communism and the events prior to Poland only made it more apparent another war was inevitable. The reasons why I support my position are The Treaty of Versailles, The Appeasement Policy, and the failure of The League of Nations. 2) Body - First I will argue that the Treaty of Versailles was a indirect cause of the second world war. Although the treaty seamed fair from ally standpoint at the time the punishments handed down on the German country were undesirable, as the losing side they were forced to sign, neither Germany nor Russia were invited to the hearings. Though the Treaty did not start a war I believed it played a big role in Germanys downfall and economic disaster in which landed Adolf Hitler in power. Some say the treaty was a way to get revenge on Germany, it placed all the blame of the war, made them sacrifice land, and forced them to pay the war wages. This in turn led to a hate for the government and officials for signing this treaty and the country left vulnerable economically and loyally, and looking for a leader. So basically the treaty left a bad taste in the Germans citizens mouth, left them demoralized and they couldn’t do anything about it. Adolf Hitler who fought in the first world war and felt the treaty was unfair and unjust, he even believed that the Germans did not lose the first...

...Adolf Hitler was born on 20th April, 1889, in the small Austrian town of Braunau near the German border. Both Hitler's parents had come from poor peasant families. His father Alois Hitler, the illegitimate son of a housemaid, was an intelligent and ambitious man and later became a senior customs official. Klara Hitler was Alois' third wife. Alois was twenty-three years older than Klara and already had two children from his previous marriages. Klara and Alois had five children but only Adolf and a younger sister, Paula, survived to become adults. Alois, who was fifty-one when Adolf was born, was extremely keen for his son to do well in life. Alois did have another son by an earlier marriage but he had been a big disappointment to him and eventually ended up in prison for theft. Alois was a strict father and savagely beat his son if he did not do as he was told. Hitler did extremely well at primary school and it appeared he had a bright academic future in front of him. He was also popular with other pupils and was much admired for his leadership qualities. He was also a deeply religious child and for a while considered the possibility of becoming a monk. Competition was much tougher in the larger secondary school and his reaction to not being top of the class was to stop trying. His father was furious as he had high hopes that Hitler would follow his example and join the Austrian civil service when he left school. However, Hitler was a stubborn child and attempts by his parents...

...Reichstag fire was more important than the Night of the Long Knives for Hitler’ How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer. (10) Both the Reichstag Fire and the Knight of the Long Knives were of great importance to Hitler in hi journey towards his consolidation of power. Whereas one can be seen as the straw on the camels back to Hitler's consolidation, the other can be seen as the framework towards the final triumph. The Reichstag Fire was an important turning point in Hitler’s consolidation of power. This incident brought the Nazis many advantages and some disadvantages. When the police managed to enter the building they found a man named Marinus Van Der Lubbe, who was a Dutch communist. The fact that he was a communist enabled Hitler to use this against the communists and have 4,000 communist leaders imprisoned days before the elections. During this period of terror for Germany the police could do anything, more specifically the Nazi police. Hitler made the most out of this situation; he used the police to intimidate voters and to disrupt communist party meetings. The fact that a communist was found burning the Reichstag building made all of this possible for Hitler, although it has been argued that the Nazis might have started the fire and that Van Der Lubbe was framed for the crime. Shortly afterwards Van Der Lubbe was tried and executed. In addition, it allowed Hitler to persuade Hindenburg to pass the “Enabling Act”, which suspended all the...

A plethora of Nazi officials were convicted of war crimes after World War II in the Nuremberg trials.

The Nazi Party legacy as one of the most notorious hate groups of all time is still relevant today with survivors of death camps giving their stories, books being published about the party, and even theorists who believe that the horrible crimes committed by the Nazis were all simply a hoax.

Germany could not afford to pay the money and during the 1920s the people in Germany were very poor. There were not many jobs and the price of food and basic goods was high.

...In the history of man an evil person named Adolf Hitler killed over eleven million people 5.9 were Jewish; he targeted Jewish people or Jews and other races because they are different.

...Life of Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler was born on 20 April 1889 in the small Austrian town of Braunau to Alois Hitler who later became a senior customs official and his wife Klara, who was from a poor peasant family. At primary school, Hitler showed great intellectual potential and was extremely popular with fellow pupils as well as being admired for his leadership qualities. However, competition at secondary school was tougher and Hitler stopped trying as a result. He also lost his popularity among his fellow students and instead preferred to re-enact battles from the Boer war with younger children. At the age of 15, he failed his exams and was told to repeat the year but he left without a formal education instead. At the age of 18, he moved to Vienna with money inherited after his father's death in 1903, in order to pursue a career in art, as this was his best subject at school. However his applications for both the Vienna Academy of Art and the School of Architecture were rejected.
