Fear is used in propaganda to show power. Dictators and corrupt governments take control when fear runs rampant in a country. Someone who walks in and promises they'll make it all go away. They blame their problems on a certain group. This implements anger instead of fear. There is power in this. Anger is more powerful than fear. Some counties have both. This is what gave Hitler such an enormous amount of power. He used people's fear and anger after World War I to gain military power and control. He blamed the Jews for the economic crisis. Labeling them and saying that the country would only become a superpower once everyone in the country was perfectly decent. What he called the Great Aryan Race. When we look back in history and look at that period of time, we see the Nazi regime. Let's think about machines and mass murderers. That the entire country had the same ideologies as Hitler. In reality this is not the case. These people were not born to be killing machines. They feared that if they did not commit these acts, they and their families would be the ones lining up alongside the Jews awaiting the gas chamber. For the first time there was the prospect that not all Nazi soldiers were machines. That there were real people behind those weapons. People who drank to keep away pain and nightmares. In Christopher Browning's book Ordinary Men, he examined the life of a reserve police battalion. He was a normal everyday man with no or little military police experience. These men were middle-aged with families. They were declared old or unwanted by the regular Nazi army. They were loaded onto trucks and sent on their first assignment. Many of these have never used a weapon or even killed a man before. Most of the men in this battalion came from the city of Hamburg. They lived side by side with the Jews who would soon march to their deaths. The first assignment came from the highest authorities and they had no choice to proceed. The battalion was told that the Jews were the reason for the American boycott and the reason their homes in Germany were being bombed. The elders were told that they could be excused if they were not up to the task. The exhilaration, fear and power, reasons why they were able to lead the events that would take place, this then showed the difference between the people. Standing outside the ghetto walls waiting for someone to make a mistake. It was New Year's Eve and the Jews had a curfew. The guards changed the clock so that the Jews would go out after curfew. In the shootout they even killed a German. They changed his documents so that when higher authorities arrived they would not realize that the series of events had just occurred. Even though there were some people who believed in Hitler's regime, some hated to stand by and proceed with these acts, but did not want to personally take part in the acts. Lieutenant Butchmann was a family man. Before being drafted into the army he worked in the timber trade in Hamburg. He “would not under any circumstances participate in the action in which defenseless women and children were shot. He was assigned the task of escorting the Jewish workers to Lublin. The next to take command was Trapp. He was very similar to Butchmann, he didn't agree with that either. On the next mission they had to leave some men to guard the barracks. The men were angry that they would be left. Trapp responded and told them, “be happy you don't have to come. You'll see what happens. Trapp spoke to the men before the assignment. Nothe could see no cowards out there and told the men if they were not ready to hand over their weapons and break ranks. Even if Trapp himself would have liked to do it. He refused to witness the executions. He simply kept telling himself that “orders are orders”. He thought that it was all a mistake and that "if ever this Jewish matter was avenged on earth, then have mercy on us Germans." “Trapp was human, and life as a little girl really showed how human he was. As they were leaving the city, a ten-year-old girl appeared in the middle of a courtyard. Trapp took her into his arms and said “you'll stay alive.” Even if he wasn't the only one. Being a leader true to his values ​​prevented the other men from agreeing with their actions. A policeman woke up shooting his weapon into the ceiling the night after the assignment allowed the Jews to return to theirs houses and they kissed his hands and feet. Trapp was considered a coward by many of the men around him. When he was taken out of the equation and given time, the men finally got used to the thought of the final solution and became very skilled. It was their leaders who told them that this is the only option and there is no way out. That every man must stand on the edge of that hole and commit murder woods and in trucks. How they would run away and vomit. How few men could not live with the thought of killing people. Although Trapp did not commit a single execution, he was sentenced to death in December 1948. A man who remained true to his morals and did not give up even when fear rained down on him was sentenced to death. The power structure collapsed along with many of the pieces on the board. Fear throughout the 20th century was normal with constant wars on each side's territory, no one was safe. Franklin Roosevelt once said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. “This was the old way of thinking. That every thought of fear must be put aside. All this must be done to move forward and not give the aggressor what he wanted. When you look at war times you see different sides of people. Was propaganda used to implement fear or courage. Who was strong and who was weak? Who was not afraid? Was it the soldiers behind that trigger or was it the women and children at home who were bombed every night and then the next day yes they woke up, they came out of the air raid shelters, they cleaned up the ruble and acted as if nothing had happened? It was up to the women to rebuild and be strong at home in the period of the men's absence. These were exercises like wearing gas masks and going into bunkers. examines how to train your children to be strong. To tell them what will happen if they cross the street but teach them how to cross the street. It gives the child the confidence they need to live their life. Fear makes a child unable to adapt and live a joyful life. Although without some recognition of the problems and fear, they would not be able to deal with them when this happens. It was like the videos shown in America that taught boys and girls what to do when the sirens of a nuclear attack sounded. This exercise of covering oneself with a blanket and pretending to be the turtle in the video would not help these children. However, the fear that this event might one day happen has subsided in the false hope that it would. The false hope that they would survive a nuclear attack. Children and women around the world learned for themselves that fear would not change what was happening outside. That courage and strength would be whathe would help their husbands when they returned. They thought positively, they would never give up hope. While their men were in the trenches fearing for their lives, they were at home being strong. Setting aside fear required a false reality. The men in the trenches became family. Giving different roles to different men as if they were building a family in the trenches. Some men were responsible for cleaning and performing “feminine duties.” They kissed each other saying this is a kiss from your wife or your mother. Women at home take on the tasks that men once performed. Fear pushes power into the hands of the aggressor. But what power is there without individuals? Who pulls the trigger behind that gun? There is an individual who constitutes an army. Washington talks about the power that even one man holds in a war. Which will continue even in times of weakness. That it's not all about the hand pulling the trigger. All five senses make a great soldier. One who knows how to adapt to any situation. These soldiers can't just go to war. They must be educated and trained. Even at that point they are ready to fight. This only happens when the boots hit the ground and they learn to survive in a real-life environment. Those who become the strongest survive. The ones who adapt best, even when exhausted and cold. Every war is the survival of the fittest, according to Darwin's theory of evolution in some respects. Or that's just what the government wants you to think. Washington talks about how you have to be the right man to get the right job. How leaders will see if you are fit for the task. Anyone who is not eligible will be transferred. They called them misfits. As if you weren't capable of killing or your beliefs didn't match theirs, you were considered inferior. That you have to prove your worth and climb the ladder just like the civilian corporate ladder. That you have to adapt to their standards to stay alive. Commit to their military lifestyle. No privacy and strict orders are what you have to get used to. Many men lose their identity and find a new one when they become soldiers. There is no individualism, you are now a small pawn in the larger structure. Your ideas no longer exist. Everything you once thought is now wrong. The dismantling and rebuilding method is a method by which military organizations have brainwashed soldiers for centuries. The facility is indestructible, any act you do that does not fall within their strict guidelines will be punished. Temporal executions are used to prevent the soldier's mind from wandering and being able to think about anything other than the job currently at hand. Every aspect of the military is used to see when a soldier is out of line. Marching is about showing power but also about keeping every person in check and in line. One second's delay in your step and your chain of command will see it. The bunks are tidied up so they know you can't hide anything. “Every ounce of a soldier's energy should be focused on defeating the enemy. Whenever he wastes his strength in any kind of activity that does not contribute to that end, he is, in effect, a victim." Efficiency is key. Time spent in fear is another man who could die because you were not focused on the task at hand. Vigilance is what keeps you alive. It is often said that fear will kill you. If you accept fear, you will be liberated. Joanna Bourke has written on different aspects of fear. With fear there is anxiety. The unknown of what happens next lingers in your body. Worrying about things you can't control. Mrs Bourke spoke about women's battle with cancer,
