i've spoken a lot about this line between germans and romans in europe, but insofar as it relates to hitler, he was actually on the roman side of the divide. i tend to associate the germanic side with britain, not with germany.

i'm going to superimpose these ideas on to a map of occupied europe, to get the point across a little more clearly.

i know that that might be confusing if you don't know the history. i'm labeling the british german, the russians greek and the germans italian. what?

but, my narrative is about culture, it's not about race. and, in wwII, england was the embodiment of german anarchism, fighting in opposition to the italo-german roman reich. in fact, charlemagne's empire was roughly the same as hitler's, in terms of geography - and he fought against vikings, poles and anglo-saxons.

meanwhile in russia, the byzantine empire had turned into the soviet union.

this is just a quick note. i've actually written extensively on this. but, i hope it clarifies any confusion that might arrive by trying to interpret what i'm saying through the filter of ethnicity, which is a plague on the academy, but standard, nonetheless, nowadays
