Unions Germany

Although the 163rd Division was destroyed at the Battle of Suomassalmi the danger is far from over. The Soviet 44th Motorized Rifle Division is still a powerful force that outnumbers the Finns three to one. In addition to the forces of the 44th, Soviet High Command has dispatched reinforcements to rescue the beleaguered fighters of the 44th, further skewing the odds. Amongst this new force is a group of trained snipers. Now, plagued by a swarm of snipers, the Finnish 9th Division is losing their hold on the trapped men of the Soviet 44th Division. To make matters worse, the enemy sniper ...

Cameroon is the only country in Africa where those who campaigned, fought and died for the country's freedom and independence from colonial rule have never made it to power, where the ideas and ideals of these union-nationalists are still being suppressed by the unpopular system the colonial master put in place in the country after defeating these civic-nationalists in a bloody war variously described as France’s genocidal war in Africa. This retarding French-imposed system keeps the country trapped in poverty, corruption, underdevelopment, dictatorship, despondence, and cynicism, thereby...

For a people that lost more than half a million lives in a liberation struggle for the independence and reunification of their country yet failed to shake off the oppressive external forces who allowed self-rule and reunification of British Cameroons and former French Cameroun but put their puppets in power in a so-called independent Cameroon, this country known as “Africa in Miniature” is an Orwellian reality.

Hans Wette Heinrich's world turns upside down when Nazi Germany promulgates the Nuremberg Laws and he is compelled to seek sanctuary in Africa. His father, new African family, and childhood friend help him turn his haven into a new home.

Even as he fosters a noble dream that is haunted by nightmares, and even as he tries to live with the ghosts lurking around a legacy that is too big to inherit, he ...

The Unconventional Lens: Revisiting the 1941-1945 Russo-German War The years 1941 to 1945 witnessed one of the most devastating conflicts in human history, a war that would reshape the destiny of the European theater during World War II. Imagine, if you will, the clock turning back to June 1941. In one corner, stood the most technologically advanced nation in Europe, while in the other, lay the largest but economically struggling nation on the continent. Adolf Hitler, the formidable dictator of Germany, expected an easy victory, envisioning swift conquest of the Soviet Union within mere ...

Die Rückkehr des Friedrich Merz. Das Ende der Ära Merkel hat ein Vakuum in der Union geschaffen, in dem sich viele als rechtmäßige Nachfolger sahen, viele mitreden und die Zukunft der Partei mitbestimmen wollten. In der Neuerfindung der großen Volkspartei, im Ringen um die Rolle in der Gesellschaft, war es am Ende unvermeidbar, dass ausgerechnet Friedrich Merz Kanzlerkandidat wurde, nicht Hendrik Wüst, nicht Markus Söder.
