It was Adolph Hitler's attempt at genocide. Six million Jews were killed, and millions more were kept imprisoned in camps where they were grossly mistreated. The terms of the conduct of the war the Holocaust was not a signifacant event. It did cause resources and manpower to be diverted from the war effort in order to carry out the inhuman goal of "the final solution" but throughout the war Gemany's enemies were largely unaware of what was oing on and made no attempt to capitalize on it. In relation to the Nazi Party, the holocaust had far greater significance, as it proved that their ideas of racial superiority were simply a vehicle for murdering and enslaving others in order to steal their property for the use of Germans. Once the Holocaust was reveled to the larger German public, the idea of a resurgance of Nazi power became virtually impossible to imagine.
In these days of decimalisation of currency, it is difficult to understand the currency used in Britain before that country 'went decimal' in 1971. The following chart may help to explain it. Money was divided into pounds (£) shillings (s. or /-) and pennies (d.). Thus, 4 pounds, eight shillings and fourpence would be written as £4/8/4d. or £4-8-4d. There were: *20 shillings in £1 - a shilling was often called 'bob', so 'ten bob' was 10/- *12 pennies in1 shilling *240 pennies in £1 Pennies were broken down into other coins: *A farthing (a fourth- thing) was ¼ of a penny *Halfpenny (hay-p'ny) was ½ of a penny *Three farthings was ¾ of a penny Other coins of a value less than 1/- were *A half-groat (2d) *6 x 2d = 1/- *A threepenny bit (3d) made of silver 4 x 3d. = 1/- *A groat (4d) 3 x 4d = 1/- *Sixpence (silver) - often called a 'tanner' 2 x 6d = 1/- Coins of more than 1/- but less than £1 in value were *A two shilling piece (called a florin) 10 x 2/- = £1 *A half-crown ( 2/6d) 8 x 2/6d = £1 *A crown (5/-) 4 x 5/- = £1 *Ten shillings (a half-sovereign) 2 x 10/- = £1 *A half-guinea (10/6d) 2 x 10/6d = £1/1/- A £1 coin was called a Sovereign and was made of gold. A paper pound often was called a 'quid'. Coins of more than £1 were: *A guinea (£1/1/-) *A £5 coin Hope that helps! -Horseyangel xxx
