talk with dad

i had a nice talk with my Dad the other night.
about what caused the recession, and the great depression.
about the 25th april 1915. (anzac)
about Hitler and WW2. About the Russians during WW2
i learnt Italy sided with Germany at the start.
it was nice.
i like talking about that kind of thing.
i like people teaching me in a way that doesn't make them sound like they're patronising me.
i hate war, but it's interesting.
hitler was an intelligent man.
with a talent for public speaking.
he commited suicide.
one man played with matches, he fueled an already raging fire and managed to start a war, he died on the 28th of april and germany surrendered may 8.
it makes me wonder how one man managed to keep all those people under his reign when they clearly didnt want to.
i guess you had to be there.
and if thats the price you have to pay to understand, i'd rather live without.
