If Nazi Germany had played the role of liberator and given the Baltic and former eastern european states some degree of provisional autonomy during his drive to Moscow could Hitler have won?
How important to the war effort was partisan resistance in eastern Europe and how much did the red army gain in cohesion as a result of reports that Germany wanted to erase Russia from the map?
Would proclaiming a new Russian federation to replace Stalinist rule have helped him win the eastern theatre through mass defections or was Stalin's cult of personality too great? Lebensraum could always be taken care of later, right?

The problem wasn't autonomy. The problem was all the burned villages during operation barbarossa.
Ukraine i.e. first received the german army with cheers. After they took Kiev and started to kill jews, people turned against them.

Right, so don't do that and instead help them so they aid you against Stalin and also get defectors from stalin.

If they treated Ukrainians the same way they treated Slovaks and Croats there would be no problem. It was that fucking retard Koch who was hated even by other nazis and who acted like Ukraine is his personal serf kingdom full of subhumans who fucked it up.

He actually hates stalin. He's my most despised historical figure. I just want people to stop the bullshit memes. 60 million is 1/3 the soviet population of that period. If you add ww2 deaths to that that would be up to 80 million killed in 20 years which is over half the total population of the USSR. Yet Soviet population still grew. Kill yourself

Could you recommend me books and or documentaries on European history?
I know my request is very broad but maybe there's different sets of books or documentaries that focus on different parts of history and I could organise myself to read them in order.
I've already seen 'The story of all of us' to have a quick glance at world history but, of course, it's deep as a pond.

Let me preface this by saying I am, indeed, a Christian and have been for several years. Before that, I was raised in a Christian household and am apart of a long line of believers. Take that as you will.
So, recently, I've developed a deep interest in extrabiblical and deuterocanonical texts. The Gospel of Thomas, the Wisdom of Solomon, the Didache, etc. Mostly, how these books were rejected (and others were not) as part of what is Biblical canon.
Christians traditionally hold that men, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, wrote the texts of the Bible (consisting of historical documents, personal journals of prophecy and life experiences, poetry, letters, etc) and that it was at the 4th century Council of Nicea where they, allegedly under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, compiled the 66 "books" that span from a period of millennia into what we know as the Bible today.
Some books were an obvious inclusion; the books of Moses, no question. The major prophets, same story. Then, it gets tricky. The Psalms, the biggest book in the Bible, probably had to be compiled as a separate project, too, right? I mean, there are more than 100 chapters/psalms/writings in that book itself. David is attributed to a lot of them, but what about the rest? How'd they make it into the Psalms? Then, on a wider scale, what about the rest of the minor prophetic books? Which Gospels? Which letters of Paul? Why on earth 2 and 3 John which are so short and seemingly very, very inconsequential? Why the Revelation of John and not Peter, whom the church was "build upon?"
I guess I have a few questions I'd like to discuss.
>What were the criteria for including a book in Biblical canon?
>Where did this idea of infallibility of this particular compilation originate?
>Why do we/the church/etc not add new books periodically? Either upon discovery or new revelation? Why is biblical canon "closed?"
Just interested in a discussion.

True. I honestly can't understand how people fell for that when it first appeared.
No wonder the countries where it gathered more believers are now some of the world leaders in suicide rates.

The increasing opportunity cost of children.
Gotta house them, feed them, provide medical care, pay attention to them, and put them through college.
All of these are difficult to reconcile with the workload of a modern professional.
You can increase birthrates by making college, day care, and other kid related things less expensive.

The First Council of Ephesus laid out the doctrine of Hypostatic Union. Namely, Jesus had two distinct natures, one divine, one human, united in a single body.
This is very important, because it means the human nature of Jesus developed more or less as anyone else. He grew, had puberty, learned to speak and walk just like a normal human being. The human nature was wholly human, just as the divine nature was wholly divine.
And human nature begins at conception. Sperm and egg must unite to produce a zygote, which grows into a fetus. Now, I can almost hear someone screaming "IMMACULATE CONCEPTION" at this point, but I need to remind you all, that Immaculate Conception is a doctrine that not only is Catholic, but is also concerning Mary, mother of Christ. Rather, there was Virgin Birth, which is the divine part of the equation, the Logos becoming flesh, and the second nature in the same body.
But, speaking of Mary, it is well attested to by her mention of being perfectly favored that she was sinless. And to give in to vile lusts, even for conception, is sinful. Thus, it must be concluded that Jesus was born sans lust. And it would be impossible for a young, perhaps even teenaged girl, to see her lord and lawful husband, to feel him inside her vagina, without feeling the tremors of lust.
No, it can be pretty conclusively established that Jesus was born of Sodomy. Sodomy between man and wife, but Sodomy nonetheless. Probably a bit of ejaculate leaking out of the anus and into the vagina. And because Maria certainly did not want such sexual contact, due to her sinless nature, we must regretfully conclude that at least by modern notions (Ancient sexual notions, of course, being much different, and they were married.) that Jesus's human nature was born of rape.

French.
> The influx of Jewish refugees from Germany and the Jewishness of the Popular Front's leader Léon Blum contributed to a revival of antisemitism in the 1930s. Writers such as Paul Morand, Pierre Gaxotte, Marcel Jouhandeau, and the leader of Action française Charles Maurras denounced Jews. Perhaps the most violent antisemitic writer was Louis-Ferdinand Céline, who wrote "I feel myself very friendly to Hitler, and to all Germans, whom I feel to be my brothers … Our real enemies are Jews and Masons", and "Yids are like bedbugs." By 1937 even mainstream French conservatives and socialists, not previously associated with antisemitism, denounced the alleged Jewish influence pushing the country into a "Jewish war" against Nazi Germany. The high level of anti-Semitism during 1938-1939 was a precursor to Vichy France.[47]
