Parteiadler. Symbolic eagle facing left, from wearer view is Nazi Party

The Trump campaign swag has made an error. Its T-shirt eagle faees left, as the wearer would see it. That signifies the Nazi Party. See https://globalnews.ca/news/7130932/trump-nazi-eagle-logo-america-first/ Be sure to note whether any article is from the wearer's viewpoint, or the person in front. This post takes the wearer's viewpoint.

An issue is whether the eagle facing to the wearer's right is still Nazi, or does it signify the entire nation by that point. Or the empire. The extent of the Nazi control in 1942 was vast. Illustration: https://norwayroadways.blogspot.com/2014/08/tonsberg-viking-museum-archeology-and.html

Essay Peter Drexler, historian: on Trump in 2016. Think. How to Think About Trump.

Visit German. Zivilcourage. Volte face -- the about-face, reversal, tide turning. Gleichschaaltung, the demand to get in gear. Concepts from the experience of others to weigh heavily. The context is described in an essay source dated November 10, 2016, attributed to Peter Drexler, without title (I call it an essay on current times). It arrived in 2016, like the stork's gift, by email without attribution beyond name. Is it fair use to quote a source that way? Peter Drexler.

Bremen. The Mummies We Missed. John Gimlette found.

Mummies Beneath Bremen Cathedral

The world needs travel series that includes more macabre. More crypt finds, for example. Travel compilers, stop copying each other, and skip all that space on where to eat or sleep. Wing that. In the newly freed pages, insert history, the odd. For each specific recommendation on dining or sleeping, a traveler wastes valuable time finding it, passing fine alternatives on the way. As to the odd bits, some travel guides do include some, too many do not.

Itineraries: After the fact: 2006, 2010 (as part of larger Scandinavian trip)

Germany is ideal for trips that include other countries. Do the central-south on one circular trip, begin and end in Frankfurt; then, second trip, begin and end in Copenhagen. We veered down from Denmark to Germany in the north, enjoyed the Baltic areas of Germany, then boarded an overnight car-ferry back to Scandinavia, this time to Sweden, ultimately back to Copenhagen. In this way we have enjoyed two improvised road trips in Germany, and without repeats.
