Abstract
This paper briefly sums up 'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' as a play that chronicles the tale of one passionate, if self centered, Prince who defies orders in battle and is sentenced to death even though his action led to a decisive victory. According to this paper, this is one of Heinrich von Kleist's later works, and shows strong evidence of reaffirming the relationship between the individual and the state. Given the subject material and the audience for whom it was intended, 'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' has often been considered an early example of German nationalism.
From the Paper
"This play is one of a few latter works in the relatively short life of Heinrich von Kleist's career as a dramatist. He committed suicide at the age of thirty-four. As one of his later works, this play shows strong evidence of reaffirming the relationship between the individual and the state. Given the subject material and the audience for whom it was intended, Prince Friedrich of Homburg has often been considered an early example of German nationalism. While rudimentary in that regard, this play nonetheless exhibits many examples of nationalist ideology. Kleist considered this play to be a work of patriotic drama."

Abstract
This paper examines how Victor Hugo and Heinrich von Kleist pose the question of an individual's shaky sense of racial, national and personal identity in both the texts of "Burg-Jargal" and "Michael Kohlhaas". It looks at how the authors trace notions of personal identity directly to societal causes, influences and forms of societal oppression, but identity is always something immutable and true in the minds of their main characters. It evaluates how rather than psychological explanation being the key to either novel, the notion of identity emerges as a kind of litmus test for the relative justice of a particular element society.
From the Paper
"Burg-Jargal by Victor Hugo deals with the Haitian Revolution of the author's day. Thus, it may, on the surface, seem quite separate from issues of identity that would plague the French author. However, this also means that identity plays a crucial element in the text, for in any revolution of independence, what constitutes the nature of independence and of national identity is called into question. Hugo uses the events that transpire to show the hypocrisy of a society based on slavery that ignores the needs of its ordinary people because of their race. The love that the slave Pierrot feels for Marie becomes a symbol of a world that is split between slave and free. Identity becomes related to one's physical and social status in an unjust way, in a way that even love cannot fully extricate."

Abstract
"Michael Kohlhaas" by Heinrich von Kleist is a tragic novel of revenge and ultimate salvation. The paper investigates the functions of the characters in the novel, specifically Luther and the Gypsy and whether they are somehow related. The paper shows that the message of the novel is that revenge, no matter how sweet, always results in failure and unhappiness.
From the Paper
"While Luther does not agree with Kohlhaas' methods, he does intercede for him, and pleads for amnesty from the Saxon Elector, who is deaf to Luther's pleas. Kohlhaas had gone too far by burning Wittenberg and other towns as he seeks out the Junker for revenge, and the people have turned against him. Initially, Luther's intervention seems to work, and he serves another purpose, he seems to be Kohlhaas' redeemer. In the broader sense, Luther appears in the novel to represent the importance of anarchy and revolt. Luther himself was considered an anarchist at times, and was excommunicated from the Catholic Church for his "radical" religious views. His appearance in the novel is ironic, for at first he does not support the very same action in Kohlhaas, because Kohlhaas uses violence as his means of revenge."

Abstract
This paper explains that Baron von Steuben, known as Friedrich Wilhelm Augustus von Steuben in America, and as Friedrich Wilhelm August Heinrich Ferdinand, was born in Magdeburg fortress in 1730. The author states that, in February 1778, Baron von Steuben reached York, Pennsylvania, volunteered his services free to the Americans, and teamed up with Alexander Hamilton and Nathaniel Greene to develop an army training program, which remained the basis for many similar training programs for many the years to come. The paper relates that von Steuben's method of training included simplified drills, which were repeated numerous times until the soldier became quite proficient, and officers who demonstrated a mutual respect and love in dealings with their men.
From the Paper
"In order to understand the extent of the achievement of Baron von Steuben, the condition and the working of the soldiers during a war or battle in the eighteenth century must be understood. Warfare in those days was a general free-for-all wherein the emphasis was on firing as quickly as possible, and at the closest ranges possible. It was, in fact, a mass fire combat, where the soldier on one side would find it of utmost importance to fire before the soldier on the opposite side could; he would always try to get the first shot across, before the other could. The rules and regulations for the soldiers were dealt primarily with drill, and firing arms. The sole emphasis was on the conduction of drills for the soldiers whereby they would become more and more proficient at handling the arms, and it would finally become nothing that would take up any sort of effort of concentration; the process of loading and firing a firearm would become totally automatic."

Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes Heinrich's pyramid theory and identifies the major principles good and bad in relation to aviation safety. The writer relates in this study that there have been wide variations in the application of Heinrich's pyramid theory as related to aviation safety in both historical and traditional terms. There have however, been various modifications and expansions to this theory as also noted during the course of this study. The writer maintains that the very solid base upon which Heinrich constructed this theoretical framework serves to support its use in the long-term as well as it serves as the skeletal framework for many various and diverse modifications and expansion of the pyramid theory as proposed in 1932 by Heinrich.

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of Heinrich events, and current theories of their origin. Additionally, this paper outlines the scientific method for discovering more information of Heinrich events, and their relationship to the Bond Cycle, Milankovitch Cycles, and Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) oscillations. Finally, it looks at the possible effects on global climate as the result of Heinrich events, using the Younger Dryas as the basis for discussion.
From the Paper
"Heinrich events were first discovered by Hartmut Heinrich of the German Hydrographic Institute of Hamburg, Germany in 1988. Heinrich extracted samples from northeastern Atlantic sediment cores, and analyzed the samples. He discovered that the number of lithic, or rock sediment, and planktonic foraminifera (zooplankton) shell formations fluctuated greatly in many of the core samples. Additionally, Heinrich noted that the components of the sediments seemed not to fluctuate gradually, but seemingly abruptly (Hackett, 1994)."

Abstract
This paper examines the life of German Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi SS leader. It discusses his direct involvement with the concentration camps and the extermination of the Jewish people. It describes him as a cold, efficient, ruthless administrator. The paper demonstrates how Heinrich Himmler was a blind and devoted follower of Hitler, and was the most terrifying type of military leader, because he had no conscience.
From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi leader of the SS. Specifically, it will discuss his direct involvement with the concentration camps and the extermination of the Jewish people. Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945) was an unsuccessful chicken farmer and fertilizer salesman who became a leader in the Nazi party in the mid-1920s. As head of the SS as well as the Gestapo, he was a cold, efficient, ruthless administrator. He was the organizer of the mass murder of Jews, the man in charge of the concentration and death camps."

Abstract
Considering Heinrich Heine's work "Religion and Philosophy", this paper shows that Luther unleashed not only a true religious revolution in Germany, but that this was corroborated with and triggered in itself a literary revolution. The writer discusses Heine's belief that the new religion that Luther promoted in Germany had one substantial literary characteristic: it was German and in German, which meant that the Bible and service needed to be in German. The writer maintains that this was perhaps the foremost contribution Luther made to German literature and literary language, marking the beginning of literary manifestations in German language. The writer concludes that Heine's constant references throughout his book to the importance of Luther as a literary revolutionary show that the impact of his revolution by far left the simple sphere of politics or religion and laid the foundations of literary German.
From the Paper
"Undoubtedly, Luther's religious revolution had enough force so as to propagate itself as a literary revolution as well. This was done in several ways, first of all by simply creating the use of German language as a mean of communication. In the 16th century, this is of utmost importance, as it subsequently gave way to the birth of the German nation in its respective European territory.
"However, even more than that, Luther actually produced literature, with his poems and songs and was a generous source of inspiration for his own contemporaries, but also for the German poets to come. It is no wonder that Heine, one of the greatest German poets of all, recognizes Luther as one of his own important predecessors and advices all writers that his language and the words he has introduced are there to stay and need to be used, as rejuvenating as they are."

Abstract
This paper describes the type of person Heinrich Himmler was and discusses how he managed to rule the Gestapo with such an iron fist. It looks at his attitude towards Jews and his creation and implementation of the Final Solution.
From the Paper
"In 1925, Himmler joined the newly-formed SS ("Schutzstaffel"), a group of elite German officers assigned as Adolph Hitler's personal protection squad (the "Leibstandarte SS Adolph Hitler"). Not long after, Himmler became the leader of the dreaded SS and then decided to ensure the absolute autonomy of this organization by decreeing that all members of the SS were in a class of their very own and that those that committed a misdemeanor were above normal justice and could be tried only by an SS court which in effect meant that German law no longer applied to them."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, whose compassion and genuine caring for his students not only lead to the development of his basic education style, but also made him an endearing figure in the field of pedagogy.
From the Paper
"Much of his pedagogical theory, which he successfully implemented into his education practices, was outlined in his 1801 book How Gertrude Teaches Her Children. In this work he outlined how he wished to establish a method of instruction that was based on the psychological development of the child and emphasized the natural progression of human development. Spontaneity was key and learning was facilitated by the natural curiosity and propensity for exploration that children display (Mayer 214). Pestalozzi asserts that children should be allowed to arrive at answers on their own through hands-on exploration and an encouragement that allows their own powers of reasoning, judgment and observation to blossom instead of being given ready-made answers. The aim is ultimately very holistic. Pestalozzi's goal was to achieve a balance between the education of the head, the heart and the hands. "
