Dutch proposal for annexing part of Germany to make up for WW2 and as a buffer zone.
Ok, ok, I'll share the whole booklet.
Here's more on the whole subject;
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_ann…

"Our debts are their fault"
Who was it who back then started about "Lebensraum"?
We live with 275 people on 1 square kilometre, they with 131 people.
ANNEXATION!!!
Lets not forget that it was very close or 'Broek in Waterland' (a town called Trousers in waterland, don't ask) would have been called Hose in Wasserland!
ANNEXATION!
What were they doing with us?
We were perfectly happy with the Brederode (castle) ruins, we didn't need the ruins of Rotterdam and Arnhem!
Don't we have good motives for annexation?
Thousands of Dutch farmers don't even have bad ground to work with!
ANNEXATION!!!
Because it is better to have a little front yard.
So the next Hitler won't suddenly stand in our hallway like in May 1940.
Are you afraid the next Hitler will be angry about that?
He's going to be angry with us anyway!
Afraid that we can't handle owning that big area?
Imagine if your great grandfather had thought like that back in 1625!
You know how it goes with bills!

Bill for the heirs Hitler for the damage done by you in 1940-45 of 18 billion guilders.

Ask again first of next month.
Promised to transfer payment.
Please return Monday
Sir wants to talk.
Because you can't pluck a frog, we'll have to take the meadow he's sitting on!
ANNEXATION!
ANNEXATION!!!
Or you should see your next tax bills!
Do you want your grandchildren to still sleep crooked?

(krom liggen, laying crooked is a Dutch phrase, perhaps better translated into breaking your back)
Your child will be born with Fl 2250 debt (roughly 13.000 Euros).
Our debts are their fault!
If the Germans don't want to come across the bridge (Dutch proverb) you'll have to keep using the ferry!
Right is right!
ANNEXATION!!!
There are just some dangerous birds that need to have their wings clipped now and then!

As you probably noticed, I've been slightly obsessed with Neanderthals lately so when this one popped up I jumped in.
It's an easy to watch documentary that starts with a nice reconstruction of how the bones in the Neanderthal were found.
Pretty soon the documentary starts explaining that the idea of the dumb cave dwelling savage is nonsense.
YES, that's exactly what I like to hear.
Go Neanderthals.
Humans really like thinking everybody who came before them was worse than they were.

I couldn't resist... I collect old photo albums, daily life during the 1920s-40s is one of my specialities and these pictures are just such a gold mine.
I have quite the collection!
Let's have a quick look at the lot I received today.
Thread;
Tiny album with a few loose photos thrown in as extra, very nice!

The flower card;

My dear little mother!
Flowers that May gives us
should tell my mother
what love feels and thinks.
Today and every day.
First album shows a family that really liked to do a lot of hiking in the mountains.
Can't help wondering how those kids got through the war.

These accounts that post nonsense (generally) do this just to get more followers & mentions.
This makes their account more valuable so they can then sell retweets, website traffic or the whole account itself.
