Adolf Hitler's 50th birthday

These are some facts and curiosities about Hitler's 50th birthday:

It  was celebrated as a national holiday throughout Nazi Germany on 20 April 1939. 

The festivities included a military parade with some 40,000 to 50,000 German troops taking part, along with 162 Luftwaffe airplanes flying overhead.

Albert Speer presented Hitler with a scale model of the gigantic triumphal arch planned for the rebuilding of Berlin, and Hitler's pilot, Hans Baur, gave him a model of the "Führer plane", a four-engined Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor that went into service later that year as Hitler's official airplane.

A key part of the birthday celebrations was the large demonstration of Nazi Germany's military capabilities. 

A luxury edition of Hitler's political manifesto and autobiography, Mein Kampf, was published in 1939 in honour of his 50th birthday and was known as the Jubiläumsausgabe ("Anniversary Issue").

The Free City of Danzig made Hitler an honorary citizen of the city as a birthday gift. 

Because of his indigestion, Hitler did not drink alcohol and so a Munich brewery created a special batch of low-alcohol beer for his birthday.

Barbara Stanwyck, Walter Huston, and Judith Anderson in The Furies (Anthony Mann, 1950)

Cast: Barbara Stanwyck, Walter Huston, Wendell Corey, Judith Anderson, Gilbert Roland, Thomas Gomez, Beulah Bondi, Albert Dekker, John Bromfield, Wallace Ford, Blanche Yurka. Screenplay: Charles Schnee, based on a book by Niven Busch. Cinematography: Victor Milner. Art direction: Henry Bumstead, Hans Dreier. Film editing: Archie Marshek. Music: Franz Waxman. 

The Furies takes place in a West that never was: Would any real cattleman name his ranch "The Furies"? But that's because the film aims at the mythic, and darn near succeeds. The Furies of myth were goddesses of vengeance, also known as the Eumenides, which means "the gracious ones" -- they were so terrible that humans tried to placate them by calling them by a nice name. In the film, all of the women are to some degree vengeful: Barbara Stanwyck's Vance Jeffords chafes against the notion that because she's a woman, she can't run a ranch; Judith Anderson's Flo Burnett tries to get her hooks into Vance's father and bypass Vance's claim to his estate; Beulah Bondi's Mrs. Anaheim is the real power behind her banker husband; and the most vengeful of them all, Blanche Yurka's Mother Herrera, seeks justice for the hanging of her son. For a Western, it's also awfully talky, with some lines that sound like film noir: "I don't think I like love," says Vance. "It puts a bit in my mouth." Others are obvious attempts to sidestep cliché: Vance's father, T.C. (Walter Huston), tells her she has a "dowry if you pick a man I can favor, one I can sit down at the table with and not dislodge my chow." I suspect that a lot of the dialogue, as well as a lot of the slightly overcomplicated plot, comes from its source, a novel by Niven Busch, adapted by Charles Schnee: Busch knew his way around tough dialogue, having written the screenplay for one of film noir's classics, The Postman Always Rings Twice (Tay Garnett, 1946). Anthony Mann keeps the action from overwhelming the talk and the mythologizing, greatly helped by Stanwyck and Huston (in his final film) as the sparring but inextricably bonded Jeffordses. The movie could have used a stronger love interest than Wendell Corey as Rip Darrow, the man who wants to get the better of T.C., and woos Vance as part of the plot. Corey and Stanwyck don't strike sparks; she's more in tune with Gilbert Roland as Juan Herrera, the squatter on The Furies who has been her friend since childhood -- a subplot that's in some ways more interesting than the financial struggles to get hold of the ranch. Initially a box office failure, the film has grown in stature over the years as a showcase for some of the best work of Stanwyck, Huston, and Mann.

Happy birthday Vera Menchik (1906-44)!

Vera Menchik was a Russian-born Czechoslovak chess player who primarily resided in England. The first and longest-reigning Women's World Chess Champion, she won the championship eight times from 1927 to 1944, mainly in round-robin tournaments which she totally dominated (to the point that Alekhine once commented it was unfair she had to keep defending her title when her dominance was so obvious). Sadly, she was killed by a V1 rocket at her home in London in 1944, aged only 38.

Although her life was cut tragically short, she achieved a helluva a lot and should be remembered as an important part of chess history. A few points are needed to fully appreciate Menchik's chess career.

First, she was the first woman to compete in master's level tournaments against some of the world's best male players which she did throughout the 1920s and 1930s - people like Alekhine, Capablanca, Reshevksy, Maroczy, Rubinstein, Euwe.

She did this despite considerable sexism. Both the press and players joked that those who lost to her were members of the "Vera Menchik Club" - a term first mockingly suggested by Albert Becker to make fun of her at the Carlsbad tournament in 1929 when she lost her first game. Before that tournmanet, one journalist - Hans Kmoch - said he would "go on stage as a ballerina" if she scored more than three points.

Fittingly, Menchik beat Becker in the tournament, making him the first member of the "club" he'd just suggested, and Kmoch was forced to public express regret for his comment when she did indeed score three points.

The idea of the "Vera Menchik Club" took off in the press after that, though it became more a term of respect - when FIDE began awarding the title of Grandmaster in 1950 four of the new GMs were members of the club and eight were "candidate members" having only drawn against her. When a member of the "club" includes a World Champion like Max Euwe, it's an impressive club!

Menchik giving a 13-board simultaneous exhibition after winning the 1926 London Girls' Championship.

Secondly, Menchik did all this while NOT being a full-time professional player or even aiming to be fully dedicated to chess, unlike the world's top players of the time. That's not to say she didn't have a big impact on the game though, especially in Britain where she gave lessons, was chess editor for different journals, edited Social Chess with William Winter, was a columnist and editor for Chess magazine, and served as director of the British National Chess Centre.

It's also not to say she wasn't a flipping good chess player. According to chess.com she was on a level with the strongest male British chess players of the time who were "undeniably strong players" though "a level below the Laskers, Capablancas, and Alekhines of the world". Nevertheless, the top players treated her with respect. After that 1929 tournament where she was mocked, Alekhine - then the reigning World Champion - commented:

"She indisputably has attained her three points against the strong masters, but it is little known to the public that she has also attained superior positions against Euwe, Treybal, Colle and Dr. Vidmar. She was beaten by Dr. Vidmar only after a nine hour match. It is the chess world's duty to grant her every possibility for development."

Similarly, when asked "are there any women who played good chess" in 1932, Capablanca replied, "One. Her name is Vera Menchik. She is Czechoslovakian and Slavic and was trained in England, where she now lives. She played against me and she is very strong."

She even apparently inspired a 1929 Vogue cover!

Her legacy is long-lasting. As chess.com notes, "to this day the winning nation in the Women’s Olympiad is awarded the Vera Menchik Cup, a fitting way to remember the first world champion".

Check out some of her games here.

WIP Intro

Why does my brain keep creating new WIPs before I finish the old ones

Title: Uneasy Money

Genre: Mystery. (Not a murder mystery this time, though!) Probably some other genres too, but that's the main one

Setting: Same as The Case-Files of Seo Yo-han: an alternate history version of the 1910s where WW1 never happened

Summary: Albert Millner's unexpected death leads to his nephew Gilbert inheriting his title, house, and money. Albert's daughter Helena is not happy about this. Neither is Thomas, the blackmailer who wanted her to pay him off, and who has no blackmail material on Gilbert. Then a cheque for £10,000 mysteriously disappears, and the evidence suggests Gilbert's sister — also named Helena — is the thief...

Status: Planning in progress

Taglist: @lightgriffinsect (Let me know if you want to be added/removed!)

Fun facts:

The main inspirations are The Last Chronicle of Barset (where the missing-money plot comes from) and Downton Abbey (where the unexpected-inheritance plot comes from). Other inspirations include Anne of Green Gables (Gilbert is named after Gilbert Blythe), The Chronicles of Narnia (Helena the Second's nickname comes from The Horse and his Boy), Great Expectations, and Sense and Sensibility

It's set in the same universe as The Case-Files of Seo Yo-han. Yo-han himself won't appear (no murder for him to solve XD ), but Phil and Leo might, and Alec and Davit definitely will (because Helena the First is Alec's cousin)

There are two sets of characters with the same name: Thomas McGeown (AKA Thomas Millner) and Thomas Millner, and Helena Millner and Helena Millner. This started out as an easy way to confuse the characters. Unfortunately I've discovered it's also an easy way to confuse myself...

The title is borrowed from a P. G. Wodehouse novel

The main characters’ surname is Millner. This is because I recently bought an 1870(!) edition of Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poems, and it has a signature from someone named Philip Millner who owned it in 1875(!!). So I’ve borrowed his surname for my OCs

The Ferris Wheel = The Buckley Diaz Family (6x11)

Edit: This post is long but there were so many connections, I couldn't resist putting them all into one posting.

If you think about it, in 6x11, 911 could have had the bear that Buck and Christopher won at the pier in his apartment instead:

Or even a bench or some sort of figuring of the pier. Plus, the bear could have represented the booth with stuffed animals that Buck throws Christopher into and then jumps into himself. But no, instead they chose the ferris wheel to represent that trauma for Buck and had Christopher yelling out for Buck once Buck looked more closely at the wheel:

The ferris wheel that this guy climbed. The ferris wheel that Buck and Christopher never came near.

From the same episode where we got:

Eddie thinking Christopher was lost during the tsunami, because Buck lost him (& Buck being the one to tell Eddie that).

The episode where we got this moment (1:23).

Where Eddie brings Christopher around again, even after what happened with the tsunami.

Where Eddie tells Buck how much he trusts him with Christopher.

And last but not least, where Eddie says this to Buck (because he and we know how Buck never stopped looking for Christopher):

Which of course later plays into:

"No one will ever fight for my son as hard as you."

And this is after:

And then fast forward to 6x11:

"You have to come back."

Scene "You never give up so don't start now."

Buck has been fighting for the Buckley-Diaz family all of this time. He fought for Christopher:

He fought for Eddie:

And now he's fighting for himself:

"There's nothing for you in that room. No one in there needs you." (only the Buckleys & Maddie in the room - we don't see Christopher, Eddie, or the 118, i.e. his found family vs his bio family)

"I'm not going back for them. I'm going back for me."

The show purposefully chose the ferris wheel to be the first callback to his past for him to see. It's in his apartment. He sees it with his mom who answers him with "No idea. It doesn't go with anything else I picked out. If you like it, I love it."

Which plays into that scene we saw with 6x10:

Buck: "It belongs to a friend of mine. An old roommate. And it's a boy."

Buck: "Well, actually, I helped him get pregnant." (curious turn of phrase there, Buck)

Margaret: "So you're the father?"

Buck: "No, I'm the donor. Connor is the father."

Margaret: "I think it's..."

Buck: "Here we go."

Margaret: "Great."

Buck: "Yeah?"

Margaret: "You're a miracle baby yourself, Buck. Why not share it?"

Buck: "Okay. Here, Dad, do you want to see?"

Philip: "Oh, absolutely."

Mr. Han: "Philip, you're going to allow this?"

Philip: "It's not really for me to allow."

Mr. Han: "A man cannot raise a child fathered by another man. It's unnatural."

Margaret: "I'm sorry, but how is any of this your business?"

Mrs. Han: "He did announce it to everyone."

Buck: "Well, that wasn't exactly my choice."

Mr. Han: "It was a bad choice."

Buck: "No, I meant the choice to--"

Buck's decision to be a sperm donor has now been announced twice without his planning on it/his consent. Twice now, he has been forced to discuss it without his being ready.

It's no coincidence that in the first scene, he's talking to Connor and Kameron ("the parents") when the 118 overhears. It's also no coincidence that Buck is talking to Albert (his "old roommate") when Margaret overhears.

6x07 - influenced by the bracelet curse (aka the Universe which is related to Eddie)

6x10 - during freak lightning storm (aka the Universe which is related to Eddie because no one else is on the ladder with Buck or affected physically by the event when the strike happens)

Which most likely means that the third time, it's not going to be someone overhearing, and it's not going to exclusively be about Buck's sperm donation but about him being a father not biologically (aka donor) but in someone's life:

Who he will be raising with someone akin to his "old roommate":

And that's why the ferris wheel (minus representing one of Buck's traumas).

It's all leading to the Buckley Diaz family which will look a hell of a lot like this family unit:

(notice the stuffed dog, the scratches on Karen's face; the same season Karen ended up in the hospital herself after a work accident; where Hen sees her collapse & performs compressions on her; where the show has Buck showcasing his worry for Karen in a very prominent way & Eddie there to speak up to reassure him)

It's coming.

Bonus:

After Buck hears Christopher's voice while looking at the ferris wheel, Philip calls over to him:

Evan is present because in the coma dream, Buck is not Buck. But it's interesting that they had Philip call out to him in this moment, to draw him away from the wheel (almost as if he keeps looking at it, he's going to miss the game). Buck then goes to sit down on the couch, in between his father and brother, watching the football game. A very clean, straight laced image that you might expect to see on a holiday like Thanksgiving or something like that.

But the reason Evan is important in this moment is because it also ties to back to this:

Where Eddie uses Buck's real name in order to get his attention so Buck will hear him when he says this line.

And this was in response to what Buck said earlier in the episode "I think it might've been better for him if I was the one who got shot" and Eddie's reaction:

So for Philip to call his name at that moment, it's done for a reason. Buck's coma dream and everyone in it was a result of Buck's subconscious. That means everything these characters said is all in Buck's head. So is it any wonder that when Buck sees the ferris wheel and hears Christopher yelling for him, as he tries to study it, that he gets called away to be distracted by something else?

It means Buck is not ready to look too closely yet at what's right in front of him. That a part of his subconscious is already aware that he's not ready to do that yet and for reasons.

And it even links further in that this happened:

Where Buck risks himself for the 118 so no one gets shot, in order to save someone, and climbs high. Eddie is not there because he's already been shot.

Where Buck goes up the ladder instead of Chimney to start evacuating the building, and gets struck by lightning. Eddie is knocked off of the ladder due to the lightning strike.

It's all connected.
