1. Amnon Goldberg. The Rise of Hitler.
Some historians claim that Hitler had Jewish antecedents from a relationship between his paternal grandmother, Maria Anna Schicklgruber and a Jew named Frankenberger. Others that Hitler was the progeny of his mother, Klara Plozl and a Frankist, resulting from the forbidden antinomian ritual that Frankists would perform every Tisha b'Av, which that year fell out on 20 July 18. "Zugt Tehillim! [Recite Psalms] I can sense that a man who will be even more evil than Homon has just been born: pray that he dies a missah meshunah [a cruel death]!" (the Shinever Tzaddik). The date: 20 April 1889, at the very hour of Adolf Hitler's birth - nine months to the day after Tisha b'Av [9th of the month of Av, date of the Temple being destroyed] 1888! See "To Eliminate the Opiate" volume II, R.Moshe Antelman 2002).
On the recommendation of his Jewish officer, Hitler received the coveted Iron Cross First Class for bravery as a runner on the Western Front, which was only won by a handful of corporals out of the 14 million men in the Kaiser's army. Hitler was another example of "whoever is determined to vex Yisroel will rise to leadership" (Gittin 56).
Hitler wrote:"Thus did I now know that I must act in the sense of the Creator: by defending myself against the Jews, I am doing the work of the Herr G-tt!" (Mein Kampf chapter 2).
For having the audacity to constantly invoke the "Herr G-tt" to assist him in his dastardly plans, Adolf Hitler is even now being appropriately punished: "The praises of Hashem rising from those in Gehennom surpass the praises of those basking in Gan Eden!" (Midrash Shocher Tov 4).
Hitler's unusual voice was the result of being gassed in 1918, and his niagra of speech possessed mesmeric powers of syntax, cadence and modulation. Hitler (plus the kolel [extra number added to the whole]) in Hebrew has the same gematriya (numerical value) as Ha'Amoleki - "The Amolekite". That he would die by his own hand was already predicted by Rabbi Elchanan Wasserman in 1939, from the Sefer Doniel 8:25.
Hitler's last April 1945 speech showed that he regretted nothing: "Even at the entrance to Gehennom the wicked do not repent" (Eruvin 19). "The souls of the wicked are the demons of this world" (Zohar III:70). Anyone in the physical presence of Hitler reported being drained to the point of collapse, as if he was a 'psychic vampire': "Do not look into the face of an evil man" (Megillah 28), "Hitler has deprived men of all sense of time" (Belzer Rebbe)!

2. Newly deciphered Moabite inscription may be first use of written word 'Hebrews'
Cylindrical altar from 3,000 years ago found in Jordan also offers first evidence of early Moabite script, and could repaint picture of geopolitics in the ancient Levantine world

Extract:
The earliest written use of the word 'Hebrews' may have been found upon an inscribed Moabite altar discovered during ongoing excavations at the biblical site of Atarot (Khirbat Ataruz) in Jordan. The two newly deciphered late 9th century or very early 8th century BCE Moabite inscriptions incised into the cylindrical stone altar serve as tangible historical anchors for a battle of epic proportions.
According to researcher Adam Bean's Levant article on the find, 'An inscribed altar from the Khirbat Ataruz Moabite sanctuary,' the inscriptions offer new insight into the bloody aftermath of the conquest of Atarot that is described in the famed Mesha Stele and in the Bible. In 2 Kings 3:4-5, after the death of King Ahab of Israel (reigned ca. 869-850 BCE), King Mesha of Moab rebelled against Israelite hegemony but was defeated.

https://www.quora.com/What-Germanic-tribes-from-the-time-period-of-the-Roman-Empire-are-the-direct-ancestors-of-modern-German-people
The Alamanni are the ancestors of Swiss-Germans, & Alsatians. The Suebi are the ancestors of Schwabians. The Chatti are the ancestors of Hessians. The Bavarians were originally the Celtic tribe of Boii. They started speaking German when the Danube froze in Dec 406. The Austrians were also originally Celtic, the Noricum tribe. The Saxons are now in the German states of Niedersachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, & Sachsen. They are also in England, and Romania. The Franks are the ancestors of Franconians, Ripuarians (Cologne), Flemings, Afrikaaners and Dutch. The ones in France started speaking French.

4. Rommel and the name Montgomery
General Erwin Rommel was a renown German General whose victories threatened the Allies in North Africa and also in Egypt,Palestine, the Middle East, etc.
He along with others advocated conquering Egypt and the Middle East, linking up with Turkey (who would join the Axis), seizing the oil fields in the Caucasus and invading Russia from the south complementing the German forces who were already there.
Rommel was defeated at El Alamain by forces under command of the British General Bernard Montgomery.
He was driven out of North Africa and returned to Europe. He was put in charge of the German defences in the west.
In 1944, Rommel was aware of the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler but not necessarily party to it.
Three days beforehand on July 17 the car had been strafed by an RAF plane. Rommel was wounded and still hospital at the time of the assassination attempt against Hitler.
Hitler and his entourage decided to get rid of Rommel regardless as to whether he was involved in the plot or not.
He had became too explicitly critical of the regime. Rommel was forced to commit suicide.
It is interesting to note that the place where he was attacked and wounded was by village bearing the French name of "Montgomairie!"
# The place he was strafed was 'between Vimoutiers and Sainte Foy de Montgommery'... It means (in archaic French) '(The) Holy Faith of Montgommery.'

6. An Ancient Tradition of the Red Sea Parting?
From: infowolf1
Here is an excerpt from Antiquities and Chronology by John Jackson, ca. 1752:
Diodorus Siculus has a remarkable passage in his History of the Ichthyophagi, [fish eaters] who lived near the Arabian Gulf, amongst whom, he saies, was preserved a Tradition handed down to them from their Ancestors many Ages then ago, that the (Arabian) Gulf was all laid dry by a great Reflux of the Sea, insomuch that dry Land appeared at the Bottom of it: the Water of the Sea afterward by a violent Tide returned into its former channel. This seems to been an imperfect Tradition of the Passage of the Israelites through the Arabian Gulf of the Red Sea. (Jackson 1752, 329)
Greek historian Diodorus (fl. BC 90-30) wrote that the Ichthyophagi, inhabit the coast which extends 'to the farthest limits of the arm of the sea which is found at the Arabian Gulf, which extends inland an unbelievable distance and is enclosed at its mouth by two continents, on the on side by Arabia Felix and on the other by the land of the Trogodytes' (Diodorus 1967, 123, Book III:15.1).In explanation, the Trogodytes inhabited the west side of the Red Sea (Arabian Gulf) below Egypt (Murray and Warmington 1967, 24). Arabia Felix began east of the head of the Gulf of Aqaba and extended down through the Arabian Peninsula on the east side of the Red Sea (Stevenson 1932, 137).Midian explorer Richard Burton (1984, 117, 118) noted that the Arab Hutaym tribe likely descended from the Ichthyophagi. This tribe was associated with the east coast of the Red Sea from Al-Wijh northward into parts of Midian and the interior.Could it be that Ichthyophagi had lived on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Aqaba in antiquity and witnessed a disturbance of the sea related to the Exodius sea crossing event?References:Burton, Richard Francis. 1984.

7. How was the Polish population in Germany treated before WW2?
https://www.quora.com/How-was-the-Polish-population-in-Germany-treated-before-WW2
by Norbert Szczech, lives in Poland
Polish population was systematically discriminated by Germans and treated - at best - as second class citizens ever since the Partitions of Poland.
One of common misconceptions regarding Nazism ascribes the origin of German discrimination of Poles to actions of this totalitarian regime. In fact, this discrimination started centuries earlier.
One of German goals during WW I was to realize the plan of Mitteleuropa. This plan assumed annexation and Germanization of territories inhabited by non-German majority, and also the absolute control of Germany over the Central Europe, including the puppet state of Poland. The Polish state was to be subjected to ethnic cleansing and Germanization. A significant part of Polish territories inhabited by Poles was to be annexed to Germany. All Poles and Jews were to be expelled and replaced by German colonists. The Polish puppet state was to be subjected to artificially created famine, in purpose to decrease the Polish population.
Those extremely aggressive, imperial, racist, discriminatory, genocide plans against Poles dominated the German minds in times when Adolf Hitler was still a mere corporal.
After his rise to power, things only got worse.
Nazi militants supported by officials of the state attacked Polish schools and all cultural centers of the Polish minority.
Polish teachers were beaten. All people who dared to speak Polish in public were in danger of being attacked and beaten by Nazi militants.
In 1937 Nazi Germany banned the Polish Scouting Association.
All Polish cultural organizations were persecuted, regardless of their profile.
Preserving Polish cultural identity was seen as an act of treachery.
The bill passed through the German parliament stated, that only citizens of German origin can inherit a farm. On basis of that pure racist 'law' Germans started to take over legally owned Polish farms.
Another bill allowed and incited the practice of mass deportations of Polish citizens living in areas close to the German-Polish border.
In the Free City of Danzig the Polish population was subjected to massive persecution by the local Nazis. They attacked Polish railways, Polish schools, Polish customs offices, Polish postmen. Poles were subjected to the discrimination on the job market. German students attacked and threw away their Polish colleagues from the schools. Polish newspapers were confiscated. Speaking Polish in public places was forbidden. Poles were banned from most of local clubs and other entertainment venues. Polish population was constantly harassed, threatened, forced to relinquish their Polish ethnicity and declare themselves as Germans, to change their surnames to German ones.
That was a reality of being a Pole in Germany under the Nazi regime.
