This city as some people call it a city frozen in time, but this city was preserved very well. If you visit the city of Pompeii there will be casts in some places and you could be amazed by how they look and their gestures. Then if you see in the video it also talks about this city near the volcano Mt. Vesuvius and its city's name is Herculaneum. Its people were burned to death and the city was 3 KM away from the volcano. So they thought that high grounds would protect them and live through it ,but instead of protecting them it became their graves. Since Pompeii is 5 KM away then the heat has lowered to 300 degrees Fahrenheit . So that is why there casts were so well preserved and there clothes as well. In Herculaneum the first wave of heat struck at 500 degrees Fahrenheit. So as soon as the heat struck Herculaneum, the heat killed its people in and instant and vaporizing its flesh with it. In Pompeii the people were trying to run away from the 4th hit of heat and as soon as it hit it killed everyone, but saved there clothes and after they died the ashes covered them up to form a rock over them creating a cast. Now in this video they are going to explain everything and show 2 casts of how one person from Pompeii lived and what his status was and a woman from Herculaneum and they believe she was one of the rich people who lived in Herculaneum.

Hitler World War 1
At the outbreak of World War I, Hitler was a resident of Munich and volunteered to serve in the Bavarian Army as an Austrian citizen.[53] Posted to the Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment 16 (1st Company of the List Regiment),[54][53] he served as a dispatch runner on the Western Front in France and Belgium,[55] spending nearly half his time well behind the front lines.[56][57] He was present at the First Battle of Ypres, the Battle of the Somme, the Battle of Arras, and the Battle of Passchendaele, and was wounded at the Somme.[58]
During his service at the headquarters, Hitler pursued his artwork, drawing cartoons and instructions for an army newspaper. During the Battle of the Somme in October 1916, he was wounded either in the groin area[63] or the left thigh when a shell exploded in the dispatch runners' dugout.[64] Hitler spent almost two months in hospital at Beelitz, returning to his regiment on 5 March 1917.[65] On 15 October 1918, he was temporarily blinded by a mustard gas attack and was hospitalised in Pasewalk.[66] While there, Hitler learnt of Germany's defeat,[67] and—by his own account—on receiving this news, he suffered a second bout of blindness.[68]
Hitler described the war as "the greatest of all experiences", and was praised by his commanding officers for his bravery.[69] His wartime experience reinforced his German patriotism and he was shocked by Germany's capitulation in November 1918.]He was embittered over the collapse of the war effort, and his ideology began to take shape. Like other German nationalists, he believed in the stab-in-the-back myth(Dolchstoßlegende), which claimed that the German army, "undefeated in the field", had been "stabbed in the back" on the home front by civilian leaders and Marxists, later dubbed the "November criminals".
The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that Germany must relinquish several of its territories and the demilitarise Rhineland . The treaty imposed economic sanctions and levied heavy reparations on the country. Many Germans perceived the treaty—especially Article 231, which declared Germany responsible for the war—as a humiliation. The Versailles Treaty and the economic, social, and political conditions in Germany after the war were later exploited by Hitler for political gains.
