G Hertzen
G, or g, is the seventh letter in the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is ''gee'' (pronounced ), plural ''gees''. History The letter 'G' was introduced in the Old Latin period as a variant of ' C' to distinguish voiced from voiceless . The recorded originator of 'G' is freedman Spurius Carvilius Ruga, who added letter G to the teaching of the Roman alphabet during the 3rd century BC: he was the first Roman to open a fee-paying school, around 230 BCE. At this time, ' K' had fallen out of favor, and 'C', which had formerly represented both and before open vowels, had come to express in all environments. Ruga's positioning of 'G' shows that alphabetic order related to the letters' values as Greek numerals was a concern even in the 3rd century BC. According to some records, the original seventh letter, 'Z', had been purged from the Latin alphabet somewh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nazi Propagandists
Nazism ( ; german: Nazismus), the common name in English for National Socialism (german: Nationalsozialismus, ), is the far-right totalitarian political ideology and practices associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany. During Hitler's rise to power in 1930s Europe, it was frequently referred to as Hitlerism (german: Hitlerfaschismus). The later related term "neo-Nazism" is applied to other far-right groups with similar ideas which formed after the Second World War. Nazism is a form of fascism, with disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system. It incorporates a dictatorship, fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, scientific racism, and the use of eugenics into its creed. Its extreme nationalism originated in pan-Germanism and the ethno-nationalist '' Völkisch'' movement which had been a prominent aspect of German nationalism since the late 19th century, and it was strongly influenced by the paramilitary groups that emerged afte ...

People Of The Finnish Civil War (White Side)
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

27th Jäger Battalion (Finland)
The Finnish 27th Jäger Battalion (german: Königlich Preussisches Jägerbataillon Nr. 27) was an elite light infantry unit in the German Army from 1915 to 1918 which consisted mainly of volunteers of the Finnish Jäger troops. The recruitment of the Jäger volunteers from the Russian Grand Duchy of Finland had to be secret, and was dominated by German-influenced circles, such as university students and the upper middle class. The recruitment was however in no way exclusive. The recruits were transported across Finland's western border via Sweden to Germany, where the volunteers were formed into the Royal Prussian 27th Jäger Battalion. It was a continuation and expansion of the " Boy Scout Training" (''Pfadfinderkursus''). Scout course and permanent training group Later, the Pfadfinderkursus received more permanent forms and the course was changed into a permanent training group in Lockstedt, the ''Ausbildungs-Truppe-Lockstedt'', which had given military training to Finnish v ...

Front Soldier League
Front Soldier League (Rintamamies Liitto, until 1940 War of Independence Front Soldiers' League, VRL) was a Finnish civil war White Guard veteran organization between the years 1929 and 1944, which also had extreme right-wing political objectives. In the early 1930s, it had close links with the Lapua movement, in which the leaders of the League played an important role. The Front Soldier League was abolished in 1944 on the basis of the Moscow peace treaty, which forbade fascist organizations. It had a sister organization for women, the Front Soldier Women's League, which was also disbanded. According to historians Oula Silvennoinen, Marko Tikka and Aapo Roselius, the leadership of the Front Soldier League consisted mainly of people described as fascists, and the association was Finland's most important background organization for “nationalist radicalism” throughout its existence.Silvennoinen, Tikka & Roselius 2016, s. 139–145, 440–442.

Ajan Suunta
''Ajan Suunta'' (Direction of Time) was the newspaper of the Finnish Patriotic People's Movement (IKL) that ran from 1932 to 1944. IKL published thirty newspapers and magazines, but the daily newspaper ''Ajan Suunta'' was the main organ of the party. ''Ajan Suunta'' was preceded by the newspaper ''Ajan Sana'' (Word of Time) published from 1930 to 1932.Aarni Virtanen''”Toimikaa, älkää odottako” – Vihtori Kosolan puheiden muutokset 1929–1936'' s. 45. Jyväskylä studies in humanities 271. Jyväskylän yliopisto, Jyväskylä 2015. Content The newspaper was aggressive in its style, referring to itself as a "fighting journal", "weapon in the combat against un-Finnish forces". This was especially true under Arne Somersalo, when the magazine got in trouble with censors multiple times. ''Ajan Suunta'' was also deeply hostile to Jews, published anti-Semitic caricatures and connected Judaism to everything the IKL stood against like Marxism, freemasonry and liberalism. ''Ajan Su ...
