		German officers and soldiers engage in orgies of plunder in all captured Soviet districts.
		The German Army is more and more turning into an army of predatory robbers and marauders, who devastate and ransack the flourishing towns and villages of the Soviet Union, and pillage and destroy the property and all the belongings accumulated by the working population of our villages and towns.
		During their retreat, the Germans drove to the rear the populations of the villages of Ershovo, Skokovo and Funkovo, in the Zvenigorod District, and the village of Yessipovo, in the Solnechnogorsk District.

	German For Travellers - German Soccer
		Car racing is something that Germans enjoy to do (just drive from Berlin to Munich on Highway 9 on a Sunday evening, that'll show you), but it has become a bit boring since Schumacher wins every single race.

		So be careful when you cheer, do exactly the same as the person next to you: Drink beer secretly, throw rolls of toilet paper onto the field or explosives into the next fan area and ripp the shirt of one’s back in the second half of the match and wave it.
