I too am fascinated by WW2, Hitler's rise to power, and the final solution.
You ever read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Shirer? I read probably about 100, 150 pages when I was in high school. Very, very interesting read that I hope to come back to one day. My father knew someone from Germany. She told him that they were not Nazis, but they went to a rally somewhere to hear the demon speak, and before she knew it they were in tears and on their knees. I am completely convinced he was a demon with powers to persuade millions.
I see some people saying they find the cold-war era more intersting. I tend to look at the whole thing as one big war that is still ongoing - Colonialism and imperialism led to WW1, which led to Hitler's rise and WW2, which led to the circumstances that gave birth to the cold war and also added to the troubles in Palsetine/Israel. That is a simplified explanation but hopefully you know what I mean.

I see peace as only being the period of time between wars. Regrettably, there has almost never been a time without war on this planet.
