Night of the Long Knives

Over an apocalyptic battlefield in the year 2029, the ruins of the city of Los Angeles are dominated by robotic war machines, some like tanks, others are hovercrafts, a title card tells us that in the future, humans will wage a long war against an enemy known as the Machines. The "final battle" however, will not be fought in this future world, but in the past, specifically our present... tonight. The year switches to Los Angeles, May 12, 1984 at 1:34 am.

In 1933, Himmler and Heydrich realized that they had created a strong enough organization to challenge and discredit the SA. Himmler and Heydrich began by trying to manipulate Goring and penetrate the SA's hold on Prussian police activities. Goring was extremely willing to support the SS's counter-SA activity since he had already questioned SA loyalty and believed he could gain political power if the SA was out of the picture. In addition, the SA's police activities were rivals to Goring's…

harpoon heads were made out of ivory from walrus tusks or whalebone. To catch fish they also used fishing lines, nets, leisters and three-pronged spears. Moreover, for hunting, the Inuit used spears, bow and arrows, clubs and stone traps. The Inuit used knives for cutting meat, and also snow and ice. A special knife that the Inuit used was called an 'ulu'. Ulus was used for skinning animals, preparing the animal skins, and butchering. Once and for all, the Inuit believe that they are the health…

As the sun kissed the horizon and the birds chirped, Rainsford's eyes fluttered open. He hadn’t felt more rested. He looked around and the room and was quickly reminded of what had happened the night before. There was Zaroff’s blood on the wood floor. It looked like it still hadn't dried yet. He shook his head and made his way out the bedroom door and to the kitchen. His left forearm was aching with pain. He pulled up his pajama sleeve and turned his arm over. He saw a huge gash on his forearm.…

After the murder of Ernst Rohm and the SA leadership, Hitler announced that the SS would be an independent organisation led by Heinrich Himmler. By 1933 the SS grew to have hundreds of members that were fanatically loyal to Adolf Hitler and his philosophy. The SS soldiers were made to feel great about themselves Hitler referring to them as the ‘master race’, the soldiers…

Many people are responsible for the twelve million deaths during the Holocaust (Malstrom Notes). The Holocaust happened during Nazi Germany when the country was lead by Hitler. During this time the Final Solution occurred, which was when the Nazis tried to exterminate the European Jewish population and many other undesirables (Malstrom Notes). All though many people were part of the killings in the Holocaust I believe the Oath-Takers are more responsible for the Holocaust than just one higher…

the crumbled bookshelves. Book lay there, it was as if they knew they were unwanted and discarded; gathering dust just like the bodies of rats sprawled out on the floor; giving a sickly scent of mildew. Spikes of Fungus pierced the bodies like hot knives did through butter! Looking up I could see a riddle on the wall: "what's ahead of you, but you can't see it?" You could taste the thick foggy air as it massaged your taste buds giving off a deceiving taste that was as sweet as cinnamon( likely…

sexuality. This hatred of gays or homosexuals was highly expected because during this time period of Nazi Germany, Hitler would persecute anyone who was not his ideal blue-eyed, white and tall person. Hitler even organized a raid called the Night of the Long Knives, an event that lead to Max’s (the protagonist) arrest, to capture or execute those who are different from him in order to maintain…

A series of small waves pressed the sail boat against the alge dock as his cold and cracked hands desperately yanked on the rope in an effort to raise the sails. Dark clouds had moved in the night before and had stayed overnight providing a refreshing sprinkle of rain every now and then. He looked out over the vast plain of unsettled water and saw one individual white cap rise up among the rest only to be pushed back down. Due to the lack of sunlight the frigid water appeared black and lifeless…
