"Well I guess the reasons for the wars are similar, after all we are all human, muggles and magic folk and we think allike, but we differ in the way of fighting. We use wands, muggles use fireweapons. We fight man against man, muggles not, for they have terrible weapons of massdestruction."

"Before Hogwarts I went to a muggle school and I started to be interested in history, so I read a lot about it." [No problem. ]

"He had the same function as the Minister of Magic does in our world in Germany from 1933 to 1945. But he was called 'Führer', that's the german word for leader.
He came to the power on the background of the first world war. Germany was defeted on all lines in the first world war and had to accept all terms of the victorious parties.
Germany was weak and the republican forces never were able to secure the democratic system, because all ministry personal and the army had worked for the royal system under the king until the end of the first world war and they didn't wanted to work for a democratic system. So the democratic system had no one to back them up. And then came the world financial catastrophe in 1929. The democratic forces were not able to work out the problems and the system was weak and unstable. The German people longed for a strong Germany and Hitler promised that and was given the position of Chancellor. And so he began to build his regime. With tricks and propaganda he got the people to believe him, whatever he said or did. And step by step he change the system and at the end he had all the power and when the people realised it, it was to late. Hitler had a dream of a big strong Germany and began the second world war in 1939 by attacking Polen to expand the boundaries of his Germany.
Sorry I'm babbling and boring you to death, but there is so much to tell about that time, what I just said is only a small summary and we can learn so much."

"Yes and he was some sort of a god for some people. They followed him whereever he went, you could say they followed him to hell. I admit Hitler was a fantastic politician, he could twist and turn every sentence to his liking, he knew how to get the people to do what he wanted. Kinda like Voldemort."

Lili sits at the stairs to the girls dorm, dressed in her PJ's making no noise. She's listening very curiously to what Alex is telling about the Muggle wars.
