USSR

The recent Japanese earthquake which resulted in the loss of control at the Fukushima nuclear plant got me thinking about previous nuclear disasters. I investigate Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Windscale and was interested to find that bad decisions by governments were to blame for all three! 

Although nuclear energy is effective; it is highly unstable and needs to be disposed of carefully. There have been too many incidents where we have come close to a global disaster.

It also got me thinking about the USSR and what the world was like after World War Two. If the Nazis had won we would all be speaking German and Russian. I became interested in the uniforms and discovered that Hugo Boss designed the German military uniform. Perhaps the most famous of all is the SS. Very imposing and empowering!
