World Wars is best History to study.

I prefer the politics of the Nazi party opposed to the war itself...

Ditto.

I'd be the exact reverse. Nazi politics is boring. Anyways, in history I much prefer war over politics.

Normally I'd say the same, but after all the schooling and documentaries, I've grown rather weary of the war, instead turning to the political side. I'll get tired of that eventually though, and jump back over the fence.

I've always had a morbid fascination with war. I have collections of all the major war books, from Vom Krieg and Sun Tzu down to WWII Infantry Tactics and the U.S. Army Survival Guide. It's in my blood.

Really?

I find politics the most interesting part of pretty much everything, plus, on massé it appears in everything.

Politics in itself isn't really boring, I suppose. But in comparison with something far more grand in scale- war- it loses its appeal. Also, war is simply an extension of politics, so they're nearly inseparable.

Hitler? A genius?

Ever read his book? 😛

Yes I did and found it to be the ramblings of a mad man and a mass killer in the making. All the warning signs were there for all to see.

Yeah, Mein Kampf was easily one of the most telling reads of the century. It's like a Nazi how-to book.

That's true, without the politics, now war. Most of the time. All other wars are more interesting than their related politics, but I've spent far too much time looking at WWII, one day it just overloaded and I returned to studying the cozy aspects of Parliament and Congress.

Bah.

So does anyone like WWI over WWII? Silly question, but I figure I might as well try it.

Sadly I know jack shit about WW1. I read the article on WW2 on wikipedia though 😄

Go to a movie store and try and find a copy of the movie "The Lost Battalion". You should be able to find it at Best Buy at least. Excellent movie on WWI.

No, Not enough hate..

I liked All Quiet on the Western Front, the movie that is.

Which one? I have the one with that kid from that show with the mole on his face. Yes. I so kick ass with descriptions.

Yeah, I "like" the two World Wars, the front lines and home front ofcourse!
