Don't tell me you needed this hints?! That would make me sad, all those posts ful of propa... uhm facts and then not absorbing a single on of them.



Btw why would you German teacher ask something like this or is he also your history teacher?

Did you pronounced Großadmiral Karl Dönitz correctly?

I just screamed out DÖNITZ! because I figured it out. And this year, German is all literature and history, and we are finishing up with WW2.

And I don't remember any propaganda.

Nuremberg.

I need information on Karl Dönitz Fuzzy Wuzzy

If you really want to impress him you should read out Dönitz quote in German:

"Mein Leben galt meinem Beruf und damit dem Dienst am deutschen Volk. Als letzter Oberbefehlshaber der deutschen Kriegsmarine und als letztes Staatsoberhaupt fühle ich mich dem deutschen Volk gegenüber verantwortlich für alles, was ich tat und ließ."

"My life was devoted to my profession and, therefore, to the service to the German people. As last Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy and as last head of state I felt responsible to the German people for everything I did and did not do." (<- translation into English, duh).

- Karl Dönitz, Nuremberg trials 1946

PS: Thanks for the report.

Wow, history as a topic during German classes? Teh cool! *drools*

Get your teacher to let you people watch Der Untergang (The Downfall) about Hitler's last days (with or without subtitles enabled, it's out for rent in the USA now.

And I don't remember any propaganda.

My dvious little plan has worked, Muhahaha. (j/k )

What was your teacher's rply whn you gave him the answer? Not to mention what did you classmates think (or was everybody "supposed to know"?.

[70's Porn Stache]

No one was supposed to know, it's all new stuff, and I'm usually the only one who raises my hand because I know everything he asks. And we just got finished with a whole miniseries about Hitler's rise and fall, I doubt he would let us watch more movies.
