Book Review
Sir John Wheeler Bennett’s The Nemesis of Power: The German Army in Politics 1918-1945 was originally published in 1953. It has been revised once by the author in 1964 and the current edition which was published in 2005 comes with an almost biographical forward written by Professor Richard Overy of Exeter University. The book has garnered numerous amounts of praise from the academic community over the course of time and is widely considered to be Wheeler Bennett’s greatest contribution. As the books subtitle suggests, Wheeler-Bennett’s work chronicles the German Army (from the formation as the Reichswehr and into the days of the Wehrmacht) and its ill fated foray into political world of the Weimar republic, which resulted in the destabilization of democracy and the growth of the NSDAP and Adolf Hitler. The book carefully chronicles the important factors in this disastrous decent from grace and alludes to the overall consensus that the Prussian Officer Corps knowingly worked to supersede the democratic intentions and institutions imposed on the nation by the triumphant allies at the end of the First World War, purely to return Germany to a conservative, monarchist and militarized society. The research presented to us clearly leads the reader down the same dark path of intrigue that the Officer corps embarked on, firstly under the watchful gaze of the venerable Hans von Seeckt, a man who worked mysteriously with the Weimar government, both aiding the institution when it suited his own agenda and also hindering it by acting like a bystander in events like the Kapp Putsch of 1920….
In the end i have just put the intro incase there is some trouble from the uni for being silly or something about the essay.
I cant be arsed to finish my day in pictures because, well because im lazy and it wasnt going the way i wanted to go, i lost the wording. I wasnt even going to update this, i was going to watch Studio 60 in bed, however im talking to you people. I managed to pen 200 odd words for intro in my review thank fuck. Zero punctuation was good even though i didnt care for the game he’s reviewed again, i cant be arsed to write even this so im going bed to watch Studio 60 like i should have 10 mins ago.
Today was best described in pictures, mainly because Aylesbury is a dump, and seeing is believing and all that nonsense…So today, i woke up, had a hair cut (i dont personally like it but the women did a good job none the less) and I was sent to a retail outlet to buy a shit load of crap for my new job (which i havent even got yet ahem)… So here we go
First off…me last night…the egotistical prick with floppy hair
Me with not so floppy hair the day after, trapped in a car park…
Although this a regular state of affairs for anyone dense enough to read my blog, i really do feel i have reached the level of sanity given to us at birth. Quite frankly some people should sort their shit out before fucking up other peoples lives really, or playing with their heart strings at least, however, tomorrow is Monday, thank fuck because i really hate the weekends, however its a new start of sorts for contrived reasons. New hair cut, job interview on Tuesday and then maybe the ability to fucking get some work done on the following days. Heard a new band called Jounce thanks to me doing some searching for the actors in Pete and Pete, one made a band the other stars in some American ads for something, strange, both are not that successful however it good to see one of them still sticks it to the man.
I have a job interview soon, someone apparently said i’m “selling out to the man” or being a “conformist”, well the ‘conformists’ still need to earn the cheese… As for everything else, it gradually fell apart as expected, i can really enforce a negative experience it seems. Others make mountains out of mole hills, and should really leave alone, especially when im not bothering anymore. It was nice when it lasted, however people should move on, and i dont have time anymore for what we did for 2years, sad because a strong gaming community that was built with friends in mind fell apart. Mickey Blue eyes is on Channel 4….again, seriously, its one of the few Grant movies i dont hurl vomitt at, however its been over played a little too much. Dead air needs filling i guess. Very much into reading about the fallscrimjager atm, especially since the DOD server i play on: www.Fourwitches.com had British vs Fallschrimjager MOD for a short time, but the public moaned and it got removed for the regular models, tad shame because i miss my FG42;
I have also been watching a propaganda piece about their invasion of Crete…
What this video fails to mention is devestating loses the Fallschrimjager suffered during the invasion…The footage kind makes me want to buy Opposing Fronts, which i will, hopefully with my first new paycheck…that’s if i get the job, here’s a screen shot;
These guys in turn got me thinking again about the Elysian Drop Troops, then i found that Palli’s mod for Dawn of War has come to a swift end and i was rather annoyed to say the least, as no one as offered to finish his brilliant work in progress… here was his last post
Dear Elysian Fans,I got bad news, the mod is dead. It can’t be more dead than it is now. A lightning has hit my pc, it came down through the LAN connection. It fried the pc and I have lost a hard drive to it with all the elysian source files. No backup. Night Shift is safe. This happened more than 3 months ago. I didn’t have the heart to make the announcement until now. I still have the mod itself, the luas, rgd, whm, whe, fx, but not the 3dsmax biped source anims. I tried extracting the anims using the Santos tools, but those aren’t files I can properly work with. Others at the warranty service have tried to to recover the data from the hdd too…but no luck. Although this is new information to the community, for me it has happened over 3 months ago….I’m quite over it now, hope you will be over it too. I will be concentrating on Night Shift from now on and when it is finished, we can perhaps revive the Squat mod. With news about the new expansion: Soulstorm could prolong the life of the community, so it seems that (re)starting another race mod may be worth my time. This thread should be alive for a couple more days, so that we can cry into the same bucket, but then I’ll ask the moderators to lock this place of sorrow. Thank you everyone for your participation, your time, your ideas, your enthusiasm.
Thank you,
Palii
He’s right about Soulstorm tho, if anything this has to provide a little life into a dying beast, i was expecting DOW 2, not a mod, especially not the Dark Eldar which no one really cares about, i guess it will be something kill for IG and Space Marine players. I wonder if they will do Nids tho, especially since Relic isnt the major force behind this project and its been sourced to the third party developers…oh btw here is some Elysian history
Elysian Drop Troopers
The Elysian Drop Troopers are known for the rapid deployment capabilities using Airborne Troop Carriers called Valkyries, and either rappel down ropes or use grav-chutes at high altitudes. These troops have deep strike capability, and can use mortars, rocket launchers, and heavy bolters like any other Guard troopers. Unfortunately, they must sacrifice the heavy vehicle support that most other regiments field. Their lack of heavy armor is made up for by their use of valkyres and Vultures which can provide close air support. They can utilize Sentinels and Cyclops demolitions vehicles modified to survive a combat drop, but that is usually the extent of their armoured capabilities. They also have access to specially modified Tarantula Sentry Turrets which have been fitted with grav chutes for rapid deployment. The Elysian Drop Troopers are known to have fought in the 3rd Armageddon War and the Taros Campaign.
These troops are based on multiple paratrooper inspirations, ranging from modern day parachute troops and air cavalry units to futuristic drop troops such as the Mobile Infantry from Starship Troopers.
Forge World has released a line of resin models for the Elysians for their new Taros Campaign, a conflict between the Imperium and the Tau. The Elysians were a major focus of the Imperial Armour III and Imperial Armour IV rules supplements published by Forge World (Games Workshop, 2005,2006).
Notable Regiments:
23rd Elysian Regiment – The 3200-man regiment was totally destroyed during a three day battle behind enemy lines during the latter stages of the Taros Campaign, in a battle which seems inspired by the experience of the British 1st Airborne Division in Operation Market-Garden.
Detachment D-99 of the 99th Elysian Drop Troop Regiment. The veteran detachment assigned to the investigation and cleansing of Beta-Anphelion IV. D-99 consisted of a Company Command section, four drop infantry platoons, four drop Sentinel squadrons and an Imperial Navy attack squadron. All personnel were KIA before they could be evacuated.
Part of me lost track of Damnatus over the year, part of me had thought today, jesus, were the hell is it, has it fall down the poop shoot of society and ended up as another fanboys wet dream. Well, no actually it was finished, but according to Games Workshop, we will never be able to to see it due to some copywrite protection bollocks. I find this rather disturbing as the 40k world needs all it can get, especially since they go a fantastic job of shit canning their own Black Library range…either way i found this rather amusing…now go sign the petition!
Seems like some unscrupulous gits form my old clan have found and posted about my blog on their shout box, thx for the links guys, I’m nearly up to 400 readers, and while you ask how sad it is for me to chronicle the sad little events in my life, take a step back and realise…Your wasting your own time reading it! Which I find infinitely more sad then me writing about it. Today was research with the internet at Uni, Jesus HT Christ, what do they think we’ve been doing as undergrads? Oh wait drinking and passing out…that’s right. Aside from that I’ve been playing Call of Duty 4 again on a 6100, I still find that fact very funny…since its 5 cards out of date, however I have to run it in awfully shit mode but its still fun to play…screw the competitive multiplayer side I cant be arsed running around with those cock gobblers again…
Edit; and now that i have a new readership, cock gobblers wasnt refering to my clan mates but rather everyone else on the internet playing FPS…happy?
That’s what the chav behind me at the cinema on Friday said while we were trying to watch an Eastern European whore chop through a horde of super zombies…that and Hal0 3 is avaliable on the PC? WTF? This weekend was mostly made up of its not you its me platitudes, arguments, the call of duty 4 demo and a Cold which i seem to have contracted from a herd of unwashed teenagers. Aside from that i have some internet research to be doing now, but i cant find the information so i cant be bollocked.
So these people are going to be after me tomorrow…
However, i dont really care, aside from this, i retract my statements about Gundam 00. Its actually really good!
God, really, i dont understand this world anymore. I get on the bus, its full of people that all look and smell the same. However, i did stink today, mainly because the shower was putting out cold water… Today was open day, at uni, my god, not only were the next up and coming uni students annoying, but so were the current ones…I’m talking about the ‘Blue Shirts’ the ones the get paid more then i do, to do practically the same job as me. I guess they didnt like me putting badges all over my mate Dan’s back, however, it was our lunch break. Rob, superior smug git that he is (this is another story for another time) bollocked me for the lol’s we were having. Pete and Pete has lessons for us all by the way, but i guess watching it at 2.00 Am wasnt the best idea, as i was knackered. I’m not doing open days again.
That and i ate a load of blue tac because i was bored. Now im hungry….
Part 2. After food the experience of the obvious was coming back to haunt me, back to normality, i dont mind the old routine, but it was fun while it lasted. Resident Evil 3 was shite. The End, Good Luck England, however like my day…were probably fucked. Spite still governs my actions
