Eastern and Southern Europe in the medieval time period? @Mark C. Wallace this is not exactly the case, some condottierri could easily change their allegiance. Many of them were employed by the emperor and so on. The most prominent separation was probably between the Guelph party and the Ghibelline party. So one can talk about "party soldiers". |

What is the difference between NKVD and OGPU (USSR) @Felix Goldberg well this depends on how you measure "importancy". It definitely was far smaller in numbers. I also have problem with understanding the term "secret police". How police can be "secret"? |

What is the difference between NKVD and OGPU (USSR) @Mark C. Wallace I really do not understand your sarcasm, what do you mean to say? That there were many counter-intelligence agents among firefighters? That the counter-intelligence could use firefighters as a source of cadres? Some another idea? |

What were the Nazi racial views on Hungarians and the Japanese? @T.E.D. Yes, he rather liked the English as Germanic people (I pointed out that he favored Germanism). Yet German propaganda supported Arab movements against English. I do not know how much this reflected Hitler's personal views. |
