Adolf Hitler

Geopolitical theories regarding geographical boundaries have been used historically by aspiring conquerors to justify their ambitions.

The most glaring case was that of Adolf Hitler, who believed that Germany was suffocating within its existing borders and that its interests extended to broader geographical areas, at least those with German populations.

"I'm appalled with all these conversations with Putin, led by German Chancellor (Olaf) Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron. Nothing is achieved," said Duda to the German "Bild", in an interview published on YouTube on Wednesday.

An alligator who survived a bombing raid on the Berlin zoo in 1943 and found himself east of the iron curtain after World War II has died of old age at 84, the Moscow Zoo said.
