Southern Identity and the Causes of the Civil War, German Identity and WWII
A true Southerner is classified by three distinct characteristics: a love of a fried food that people from the other regions of the country may respect, but will never understand; strong feelings about the superiority of their state university's football program; and finally, very certain beliefs about the true causes of the Civil War.
The common (and admittedly simplistic) belief is that the Civil War was over slavery: the racist, oppressive people in the South wanted to keep slavery legal, and the progressive freedom-loving Yankees knew that it was wrong and fought bravely for what was right.
But the issue isn't quite that, pardon the expression, black and white. Slavery did play a large role in the Civil War, but the reasons the North and South chose the sides they chose were more complex than simply loving slavery and believing that it's wrong. Slavery played a huge role in the burgeoning American economy, especially in the South. A lot of Southern landowners were not pleased with the election of President Abraham Lincoln, as they believed his beliefs (including his support of the emancipation of slaves) was in contrast to their economic interests. These beliefs lead to the South's desire to secede from the union.
The desire to secede and the belief that they were "rebels" is a crucial part of the Southern identity, even to this day. Much controversy has surrounded the flying of the Confederate in public places, including on top of state houses and other official buildings. Those who support the continued flying of the Confederate flag may argue that it's a crucial part of Southern history and identity and associate it strongly with the rebellious spirit that the South is known for. The counterargument is that, regardless of what other factors may have lead to the South's desire to secede and the war that would ensue because of it, slavery was a motivating factor, and that that part of this country's history should not be celebrated.
Just about any student studying for the AP US History exam will know something about the causes of the Civil War, as this major event in American history is a defining moment in the history of this country, and it unfortunately also entails an incredibly shameful portion of the collective American past.
Negotiating national pride with an awareness that the American past entails some truly incorrigible behavior is not uniquely American, Germans deal with similar issues of wanting to celebrate what is great about their country, while not giving the impression that they are proud of the Holocaust. Their dilemma is even more complicated as a strong sense of nationalism was a crucial part of the Nazi identity. As a result, many Germans are ashamed to fly their flag or publicly display pride in their country.
Any AP US Government student who's studied 20th and 21st century American foreign policy will know that the issue of loving one's country but disagreeing with one's government is something that is not limited to the Civil War era, or post-Hitler Germany. A lot of Americans felt uncomfortable displaying American flags in the wake of the Patriot Act and the war in Iraq. Then again, a lot of other Americans felt incredibly comfortable displaying it, considering a strong sense of patriotism a necessity in the wake of September 11.
Issues of regional and nationality identity may be complex and changing, but studying them helps to understand the people around the world and how they feel about the places they live.

What did the Drahtfunk radio in WWII Germany sound like? Look like?
A drahtfunk radio was used in Germany during WWII to alert citizens of coming allied air-raids. I've read that it made a characteristic ticking or pinging sound that alerted people to listen for details about a coming air-raid. I'd like to know if someone can describe these sounds and more about how this radio worked. I'd also like to know if it was a separate device from the government issued radios issued by the Nazi government. What did it look like? There is next to no english information on the web about this.
the drahtfunk radio was not only in use in germany but also in switzerland and norway.
First the system was used in parts of the counrty's where the radiowaves didn't perform well like in mountains and wouds and the radio operated via the electricity network. This was changed in the 1930's when they started to use the telefoon network first at low frequency ( only one channel and you had to choose between lisening to the radio or to telephone) and there after high freq.600 hz to 150 khz ( up to 6 channels and the telephone could work togetter with the radio) you only needed a splitter to separeted you telephone and your'e radio. A you can say it's the grandfather of high speed internet connection via you're telephone line.
Germany used it in the war because
- the enemy couldn't disturbe the signal
- a radiostation that emits a signal , it can be used to direct the enemy bombers on to there target.
- the telephone network isn't destuyed by 1 succesfull attack , a radiostation can be destruyed by one bom.
from the 1930's the german radio's had almost all the possibility to plug them in onto the drathfunk ( this was not founed by the gouverment by only started to use it later on )
In case of a air raid the radiostations did give warnings to th population by brothcasthing but when the air raid can to close to the citys the radiostations wenth of the air to prevent homing in onto the city from where they where brouthcasting.
Then stared the radio to sent true the drathfunk and they kept the population informed about the air raid
The music ( something like DO, MI, SOL, SI and always repeated ) that they used was only used to indicated that the telephone was active and the info about the bombers was spoken langues
after the war it was still in use untill the 1950 and mostly used in berlin in the american sector
