During this part of the book we really see the lowness of the German morale, but also the war is much more humanized and is presented in a way that shows both the war and the people who fought in it. However more or less it is also really shown the environment that these soldier live and fight in.

In this section, we are starting to see a more depth thinking of the operations during WWII. Furthermore, it was starting to be clear of the bias between the many books that I have that puts many of the negativity and blame on each other highlighting almost a hidden disarray of the Third Reich.

So far the book describes a terrible environment for the soldiers as being horrific for most of them, it also seems that some may even possess a lack of education upon the weaponry they choose to use. This is even more obviously expressed when our main character fiddled wwwitth a pin that arrested upon a grenade.

Germany has to plunder itself into a huge war in which it may be difficult to win. In this section of the book, we are shown Heinz's many reactions to what happens during german operations, both on-field and in its high command showing us the many intricacies of the OKH, the OKW, and the Wehrrmacht as a whole.

RyanJ C1 is finished with 50 Philosophy Ideas You Really Need to Know
This book comes to an end after the numerous examples that the book has provided, it had only provoked my interest further into this deep dive about philosophy. though many of the concepts had been difficult to understand and comprehend, I still feel that I had been enlightened both by the ideas and works of numerous philosophers and my inner self.

The German Reich kept down for so long has finally decided to act. Though trouble is slowly brewing in the high command about many of each other's decisions and beliefs; it is still very functional. We also see the emergence of Heinz's panzer force which had devastated Poland proving to Hitler about the functionality of these metal beasts.

As the book shifts pages, it also starts to move to different topics. First starting from our perception of reality and now to our understanding of knowledge as a whole. Now as the topic in this book hits closer to home, we begin to see many more perspectives returning to our old friends such as Socrates, Kant, Plato, and more.

RyanJ C1 is on page 71 of 208 of 50 Philosophy Ideas You Really Need to Know
In the first 71 pages, this book explores numerous ideas of philosophy, many about one's idea of existence, and highlights a more subjective idea of what we know as facts. We also explore many conflicting ideas from countless philosophers such as the famous Immanuel Kant. So far, this book has been a real joy to read and learn from, containing many new concepts for me.

From the interwar period, Guderian was a big believer in armored forces to punch into the rear of the enemy with motorized and panzer forces. It had been 10 years since Germany's loss in WW1, however with the restriction from the treaty of Versailles. With Hitler in power, the restrictions had been ripped and as more men were enlisted, panzer and motorized divisions had formed.

Alas, every story comes to an end, from parasites to MERS; from proteins to Macrophages; from your bloodstream to the lymphatic system, we've seen it all. This had been the amazing story of your body's strongest, most intense, and unique defenses against the pathogens of the world; from the daily common cold to the black death that ravaged Europe. This is a story of courage and tactics from your bravest warriors.

Hiv, Influenza A, Covid-19, these are all types of diseases that ring fear into our minds of us. Though just knowing them as diseases, one should know the effects of such diseases on our body. However, improving your immune system does not make it better which can clearly be seen with the drug TGN1412. In a way imperfection is a perfection within itself.

It can clearly be said that we have the ability to change our lives, however, some do not put in the effort. With many ways to save 401k's and invest, it really boils down to the individuals; their change is dependent on their ability to control themselves from an urge to acquire new stuff. However, through this book, it should be noted that even minimum wage employees can change their lives.

It is clear that the Immune System had several flaws such as autoimmune disease. It is clearly seen that though they try hard to protect you and your body, their greatest enemy is themselves. "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" is a clear quote that can be applied to this situation as this is the cause of all of your safety procedures missing a step.

In northern Scotland, we are introduced to the main character and his friends who seem to be quite competitive. It also appears to me from certain aspects of their preparation, navigation, and usage of boats, they seem to be quite skilled in their ocean travels. I could also be assumed that this book in set in the 1700 due to some more absurd aspect of daily life.

We yet see more examples of how some people waste their money and time on things that have no objective value, and how people's thoughts had determined the amount of money they could have received or saved. Such as not being able to resist certain temptations and thinking lower of your self and maintaining a bad credit score which had many large impacts.

We see the immune system at the start of the book as it introduces us to a variety of friends and foes such as the Macrophage and Neutrophil. It is exciting as we see as your immune system battles with pathogen with a never seen ferocity using proteins and enzymes as weapon, sometimes even using their own DNA to take down as much enemies as possible.

At the start of this book, we are introduced to the main character, Huckleberry Finn, and his Southern Surroundings. It is clear that though he is nicer they most of his other fellows, but his education about slavery is virtually none only knowing that they are kind of like tenants except they do labor. It is interesting when he began to befriend someone who is currently under discrimination. (Slavery)

The economics of the current world is confusing with many Millenials being broke, this book teaches one, how to survive this economic world, and to thrive in this world which for many is difficult. As the author describes how starting from when you're young, it is good to introduce kids to the concept of money, however, if you haven't it is not too late, starting from saving to investing.

The book comes to a tragic end as Juliet and Romeo lay in the same grave. What was supposed to be a clever plan, turned out to be a disaster due to miss information. It's also tragic as not only the two lovers die, but the friar is assumed of the crime, and Paris is slain in his place as Romeo's irrational anger over takes his body.

We are the poorest and weakest state in the world, occupying the lowest position in international affairs; the rest of mankind is the carving knife and the serving dish, while we are the fish and the meat-Sun Yat-sen. China is split between global empires and even among itself no one stood to fill this gap of power. Sun and Chiang are both trying but only one can succeed.

In this book, we can see the impact of Madame SongMei Ling's early life on her later life. As we see the chaos boiling around her and the sudden rise and fall of rulers must have made a large impact in her future, where she tried to unite all this chaos under one rule and to stabilize all that had fallen apart, and help restore China to its former glory.

Over the course of Jobs's life, we can see his perspective in both life and business like his though towards her daughter Lisa who may or may not have been denied at one point, or perhaps his reactions to Apple's success. Lastly, I'd really like to touch on the quotes from Jobs in this book, it really just helps the story fit in.

In this diary, we see the development of the Luftwaffe both technologically and manufacturing, we also see its rise and fall from the initial skirmishes in Poland to its last stand at the Battle of Kursk, It really is exciting to see the evolution of the Luftwaffe showing us both initial successes to later failures. What I like most are the in-depth description and the real experiences and stories that were included.
