Hi,
Something I've wondered since watching Downfall, and gotten more curious the more I read - according to our article, upon the announcement of Operation Clausewitz, "all ministries and departments" left Berlin. According to our article on Hanna Reitsch, in the final days, she left "flying the last German plane out of Berlin". My question is - to where were they going? When I visited the Imperial War Museum a few months back, a plaque read that the Allies had occupied the rest of Germany by this point, so where could Hanna land, and where did the ministries decamp to? And if there was unoccupied territory remaining to which people could and did flee, why was the capital not moved there, as surely it would be better to conduct the war, even its end, from unoccupied territory rather than an encircled, devastated city? -- Saalstin ( talk) 12:53, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

While watching Saving Private Ryan, after the storming of the beach, you can see many troops and artillery entering the beach in the background. There appear to be a few blimps attached to the landing craft, and I was wondering what the purpose of them would be. I've seen similar images on other war time films over cities, and I assumed they might be used for observation, but it doesn't make as much sense there. My only other thought would be that they could somehow stop arial assaults, though I can't see how. -- WORM MЯOW 13:12, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
I read the following statement concerning Shakespeare's Sonnet 12: "The placing of the sonnet within the sequence matches the number of minutes (60) in an hour." What does this mean? I cannot figure out what they are saying. What does the ordering of this particular sonnet as number 12 have to do with the number 60? I am confused. Can anyone offer any insight into this? Thanks. ( 64.252.34.115 ( talk) 14:58, 20 August 2010 (UTC))
So, once again, can anyone offer insight into what the author of that quote may have meant? Thanks. ( 64.252.34.115 ( talk) 20:04, 20 August 2010 (UTC))
