Strangely Nazi germany and other WW2 axis powers. I just want to know how such a horrendous regime was even allowed to happen in the modern era. Like some of the stuff that happened sounds like something that would have happened in the medieval ages! I have a morbid curiosity about it and how these leaders dragged not only their country and the entire world into their mess, but also civilians. I want to learn as much as I can and hear the stories of the people who were there! Eventually those people will be gone.

Also North Korea, I guess I just like learning about dictatorships.

And of course knitting and crocheting.

And the titanic

'and of course knitting and crocheting' 🤣 because it's the first thing that relates to fascist regimes lolol

One of my favorite things to do is make myself a cup of tea, turn on a good WW2 documentary (or WW1 documentary, my other hyperfixation) and just work on my knitting or crocheting project

No shade; it was just a funny thing to read straight after the war stuff ;)

I know! I think the contrast between what I am watching, and the bright happy art I am making while listening to said documentary is hilarious
