Yeah, the Red Cross was pretty helpless when it came to the Holocaust. If they got too close, the Nazis would just boot them out of the area.
They helped when they could, but, sadly, sometimes that was just not possible.

It didn't help that the German Red Cross was controlled top to bottom by the Nazis.

Yeah, that would put a damper on any attempt on their part to help.

Helmut Kohl, Chancellor of West Germany 1982-90 and of Germany 1990-98, has died.
My favourite Helmut Kohl anecdote ...
On one occasion, after Kohl had excused himself from a meeting by saying he needed to return to his office, Thatcher spotted him in a teashop scoffing cream cakes.

He was the first Chancellor of the reunited Germany after the Wall came down.

I was'nt even born yet! I'm so young that I got into Doctor Who through Doctor Whooves. Natalie pretty much stopped being a "big child" at around the same time I was born!
You can even see in the side pic in the blog that I look like I could still be 18-19. Friendship is Magic was from 7 years ago and the Doctor Whooves stuff was invented about 7-6 years ago. Meaning that it is'nt surprising I was pretty much a kid back then. Just that I was slightly closer to adult age.
Of course even different cities in the same region have a different idea of what a "big kid" is.

There are a lot of people out there now who were born after the Cold War ended.

Gaia, do you think Italy should bring back the House of Savoy?

Gaia, do you think Italy should bring back the House of Savoy? Not necessarily. Well there are some middleaged princes and I guess that they or their children (or grandchildren) could eventually be made king again if they want it. Maybe I'd prefer if I was made a queen. I could be the queen of the Pokémon fandom or of being pathologically obsessed with Blair Wainwright, or of an all-new country I'll found when I'm middleaged myself. And then there's the approach of hiring five teens with attitude...

If they do bring it back, they would probably come back as a Constitutional Monarchy, like the House Of Windsor in Britain.

those who founded the Italian Republic after WWII were so paranoid about the restoration of the monarchy that the Constitution states that the republican form of government is not a matter for amendment.

Is that still a thing. I mean it's been 72 years since the end of World War II.
The old fears no longer apply.

There's still the thing about the five teenagers with attitude. It would only work in a country where everyone lacks burocracy like I do.
