For the past few weeks there has been a bird flying around my house. I noticed today that she has built a nest on an old shoe rack I put on the porch, but haven't gotten around to get rid of. So anyway the bird has built a nest on the rack and it has 3 eggs in it.
The Abwehr was a German military intelligence (information gathering) organization from 1921 to 1944. The term Abwehr ([ËapveËÉÌ¯], German for defence) was used as a concession to Allied demands that Germany's postâWorld War I intelligence activities be for defensive purposes only.
The Bundestag is the current national parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Bundes- means federal. The Reichstag was the former parliament of previous regimes, like the German Empire and the Third Reich. Reichs- means imperial. No body has been called the Reichstag since 1945. The building built for the Reichstag is still referred to as the Reichstag building but is now occupied by the Bundestag.
