Who was Eva Braun?

Eva Braun: Who is she
Eva Braun, probably sounds familiar, but who is she? Well, she's not a hollywood actor, but she is Hitler’s mistress, and, for 40 hours, his wife. Were they truly in love? Was she a sex slave? What was her role in Nazi Politics? All of these questions will be answered in this Article.
Biography
Eva Braun was born in 1912 to a middle class family in Munich, Germany. She was born to a school teacher named Friedrich Braun and Franziska Kronbergera. She was an average student, and showed no extraordinary talents, and did not care for school. She went to school at a convent,  but left as she lacked the motivation and will to continue. She was like a teenage girl on a nickelodeon sitcom, being interested in clothes and boys. She, at the age of 17, became an assistant for Hitler’s photographer, Heinrich Hoffman. This is how she would meet Hitler.
One day in 1929, she met the Middle Aged Hitler for the first time. He was 23 years her senior, her being 17 and, him being 40. They didn’t become romantically involved until 1930, after one of Hitler’s mistresses committed suicide. Eva Braun was arguably the first fanatic follower of Hitler, as she practically worshiped him. She did not spend much time with her, as he devoted most of his time to the Nazi party.  The lack of his presence probably contributed to her devotion, as in her loneliness, she glorified him.


She was often lonely during their relationship, as he, after all, was the leader of the Nazi Party, and later the Fuhrer. She was deeply unhappy, and attempted suicide twice. She was constantly insecure, like Potimkin and Catherine the Great. She constantly feared he would leave her, as displayed in this excerpt from her diary.
“There is only one thing I want. I would like to be seriously ill, and to hear nothing more about him for at least a week. Why doesn't something happen to me? Why do I have to go through all this? If only I had never set eyes on him! I am utterly miserable. I shall go out and buy some more sleeping powder and go into a half-dreamlike state, and then I won't think about it so much.

Why doesn't that Devil take me with him? It would be much better with him than it is here.

I waited for three hours in front of the Carlton, and had to watch him buying flowers for Ondra and inviting her to dinner. (That was just my mad imagination. March 16th.)”
Her sadness stemmed from her loneliness, and lack of attention from her lover, Adolf Hitler. All of this unhappiness culminated in her attempted suicide, in 1932 and 1935. The following is an excerpt from her 1935 diary, declaring her intent to kill herself
“I have just sent him the crucial letter. Question: will he attach any importance to it?
We'll see. If I don't get an answer before this evening, I'll take 25 pills and gently fall asleep into another world.
He has so often told me he is madly in love with me, but what does that mean when I haven't had a good word from him in three months?
So he has had a head full of politics all this time, but surely it is time he relaxed a little. What happened last year? Didn't Roehm and Italy give him a lot of problems, but in spite of all that he found time for me.”
After this, Hitler gave her an apartment in Berlin. She did not really care about the war or politics, the most she did was participate in the Nuremberg Convention. She remained untouched by the war until the end, when the tides turned against Germany. The reason Hitler liked her so much, was that she did not wish to interfere with politics.
Once the Soviets entered Germany, Hitler and her decided, that it would be better to die at their own hands, then be kidnapped by the enemies. They married on April 29th, and, on April 30th, 1945, She poisoned herself, while her partner Hitler, shot himself.
In Summary,

She was an average student.
Hitler Kept her as a mistress
She was deeply unhappy when he was away
She had no influence on the politics of the Reich..

The Art of In-App Purchases

What drives people to make an in-App purchase, and how do you pull them off? In games ranging from Clash of Clans to Bounzy, the devs integrate in-app purchases in some way or the other. So, what exactly pushes people to make these purchases? One major factor that contributes to this is time. A company has to ensure that the user stays engaged for at least 10 minutes, in which they get far enough into the game (In their eyes) that it drives them to come back. Clash of Clans does this, by making buildings take 10 seconds in the beginning, but slowly building the time, it makes people feel like they are far into the game, at least to far to give up. If you can hold their attention, and make them feel accomplished within the first time they sit down with your game, you will make them come back. Another factor to making people purchase, is abstracting the currency. Make it obtainable in small amounts without paying, but not enough to get anything of substance. By purchasing th...

Accessibility and Simplicity. Good or Bad?

Is Accessibility good for Grand Strategy? Over the past few years, the genre has placed a special emphasis on “accessibility”. Of course, it's a good business choice, as they need to make money, making it easier to appeal to a large audience isn’t bad, but it takes a lot out of some games. In some games such as Atwar, or Call Of War, their simplicity makes the game so much more enjoyable. One of the things I love about Atwar is that it doesn't add so many mechanics, it knows its purpose. Its goal is to provide a simple strategy game. Their are only 5 things you need to know to get in. Capturing Cities = Money, Fighting in Cities reduces population and thus reduces money, Their are 3 diplomatic relations, (Allied, Peace, and War), if you control the capital the area gets painted your color, and how to move units. The reason it is so simple yet so fun, is it puts it on you, the player, to make dialogue, and you, the player, to choose where to capture cities. If this game...

The Plight of The Czech Legion

It  was  July  6th,  1918,  the  dull  cold  hung  in  the  air.  The  people  of  Vladivostok  sat  in  their  houses  and  ate  breakfast,  when  the  Czech  Legion  broke  the  garrison.  Bullets  rang  out,  but  in  a  few  hours,  the  Czech’s  seized  the  port  city  of  Vladivostok.  Declaring  it  an  Allied  Protectorate. All though little is known about this extraordinary unit, its journey across Eurasia had a profound effect on history, which continue to echo into the modern day. The  sounds  of  the  bullets  that  had  just  been  fired  hung  in  the  air  as  people  tried  to  make  sense  of  the  events...
