It was first held in 1922 in the Reichstag and in 1926, it was decided to observe Volkstrauertag regularly on Reminiscere (the second Sunday of Lent.)<br /><br />Heldengedenktag (1934–1945)<br /><br />On February 27th, 1934, the National Socialists introduced national holiday legislation to create Heldengedenktag (Day of Commemoration of Heroes), cementing the observance. In the process, they completely changed the character of the holiday: the emphasis shifted to hero worship rather than remembering all the dead. Joseph Goebbels as Propaganda Minister issued guidelines on content and implementation, instructing that flags no longer be flown at half-mast. The last Heldengedenktag was celebrated in 1945.<br /><br /><br />Modern form<br /><br />After the end of World War Two, Volkstrauertag was observed in its original form in West Germany, beginning in 1948. The first central meeting of the German War Graves Commission took place in 1950 in the Bundestag in Bonn. In 1952, in an effort to distinguish Volkstrauertag from Heldengedenktag, its date was changed to the end of the ecclesiastical year, a time traditionally devoted to thoughts of death, time, and eternity. Its scope was also broadened to include those who died due to the violence of an oppressive government, not just those who died in war.<br /><br />France and Belgium<br /><br />Armistice Day (November 11) is a national holiday in France and Belgium. It commemorates the armistice signed between the Allies and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning - the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month."<br /><br />Italy<br /><br />In Italy, servicemen who died for the nation are remembered on 4 November, when the ceasefire that followed the Armistice of Villa Giusti in 1918 began. Since 1977, this day has not been a public holiday; now, many services are held on the first Sunday of November.Von Spreuth.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-92161178112552435622009-11-20T18:53:48.400+00:002009-11-20T18:53:48.400+00:00You ARE comparing the Edinburgh Tattoo to the May ...You ARE comparing the Edinburgh Tattoo to the May Day Parade, aren't you, you mendacious little rascal.<br /><br />And many of the Russian war dead that the old ogre didn't kill,died because he culled the officer corps prior to joining Hitler in a non aggression pact, leaving the Red Army largely leaderless.<br /><br />And dont forget the Penal Battallions, he sent out to clear minefields...by marching across them.Arielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-49360937719148857552009-11-20T13:30:39.791+00:002009-11-20T13:30:39.791+00:00(Anonymous) 19/11/09
