Berlin Diary

Thanks for pointing that out.
Whilst the project dates from 2016, the first items were published in 2017.

Always one of our favourite stars. Listen to the reviews from media around the world:

"A great night out!" - Glasgow Herald.
"She did things in the cold that even hardened Canadians wouldn't try." - Winnipeg Free Press
"With women like Ms. Moore on the continent, even Nigel Farage would reconsider Brexit!" - Daily Mail
"Wunderbar! Die erste "must see" dieses Jahr." - Dortmunder Tagesblatt
"Brilliant. Vibrant. Hot." - Car and Driver (admittedly, that review might have been for something else, but the sentiment is right on!)
"Why are you asking us about this. It's all about this Moore woman getting tortured. After that we couldn't get any of our contributors to review the historical parts." - New Internationalist
"An accurate portrayal of the glorious victory of our liberating forces, and in this film Ms. Moore is truly revolutionary!" - Marxist Weekly.
"Dear Lord there was a lot of sex! Nobody should watch this!" - Christianity Today

Thanks for collecting these reviews, Jolly - they seem to be mostly favourable.
Of course, we are expecting the 'Crux Chronicle' to publish a further report on the premiere.
And the movie press may well have some things of their own to say!

'Berlin resonates with the echo of lives lived. No other city has repeatedly been so powerful and fallen so low.
And few other cities have been so shaped by individual imaginations.' - Rory MacLean

The city of Berlin inspired the imagination which produced Barbaria's, 'Berlin Diary', a forum classic, and in every way a hard act to follow. So hard, in fact, that the sequel has now been over a year in production, and is still pending completion. It has been my pleasure to collaborate with Barb on this project, and we are enjoying the creative process immensely. We hope the readers will soon be able to share this enjoyment.

And now, I am delighted to announce that the Barbarinder Production Team has just approved a theatrical trailer for the forthcoming and eagerly awaited 'Barbarossanova'. The trailer is a three-minute video slideshow which can be opened by clicking on this link.

Coming soon - https://drive.google.com/file/d/11h9OIauJQ3lPwrJgSBAnMrUbpbFeAtk4/view?usp=sharing

... and a lot more than that...
And while economic success and prosperity were recovered rather quickly out of the wreckage, the level of artistic and scientific creativity that existed in Germany prior to fascism has never been revived.

Speaking as a former Nuclear Physicist, some of the greatest scientific minds of the Twentieth Century (especially in Physics) left Germany during that period.

Speaking as a former Nuclear Physicist, some of the greatest scientific minds of the Twentieth Century (especially in Physics) left Germany during that period.

Niels Bohr, James Franck, Albert Einstein, Leo Szilard, Edward Teller, John von Neumann, Hans Bethe, Rudolf Peierls, Joseph Rotblat, Klaus Fuchs, Emilio Segrè, Enrico Fermi
Every one of those names was a man of unbelievable brilliance.

Two examples, not best known by general public:
John von Neumann, (Jonny to his friends) mathematician, concept and design of the explosive lenses on the first atomic bombs (if you don't know what that means you are not alone -elegantly complex mathmatics). Helped develop hydrogen bomb, father of game theory. Von Neumann also helped develop the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC), the first electronic general-purpose computer. His ability to instantaneously perform complex operations in his head stunned other mathematicians, and his photographic memory allowed him to recall information without hesitation.
Hans Bethe (see below) could not comprehend von Neumann's incredible intellect: "I have sometimes wondered whether a brain like von Neumann's does not indicate a species superior to that of man."

Hans Bethe, developed microwave radar, selected by Oppenheimer to lead the T (Theoretical) Division of Los Alamos. Taught his whole career at Cornell. He helped to negotiate the 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty with the Soviet Union. In 1967, Bethe was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on how stars produce energy. Having studied Astronomy and Astrophysics, I regard that work as the most important theoretical advance in astronomy since Einstein's General Theory.

These are the kind of minds Hitler drove out of Germany. Pre-Hitler, the whole world acknowledged that Physics in Germany far surpassed all other countries.

"Turn around, you will never see it again!" - Albert Einstein to his wife as they left their house in Germany, December 1932

"I'll be the brains!" - Adolf Hitler to a German journalist who asked him who would be the brains of the country if the Nazis took over, 1931
