Nicolai's definitions

Reichstag

The capitol of the German Parliament before and during World War II. It was burned by Adolf Hitler as he took over Germany and instituted the Third Reich into the center of the power structure. Soviet forces captured it in 1945 during the fall of Berlin, shortly before the Nazi surrender. It has since been replaced with the post-Nazi German Parliament, the Bundesrath.

Alexei was part of the Soviet force that took the Reichstag from the Nazis.

supreme court

The highest court in a given judicial system in the United States of America. Each state has it's own supreme court, as does the federal government (seated by 8 associate justices and one chief justice). They can choose which cases they wish to accept, can over-turn or alter the ruling of any inferior court, and can, in some cases, create constitutional law. Their main purpose is to defend the Constitution (of either their state or the federal government) and to interpret it's meaning in their rulings.

The United States Supreme Court is often referred to as 'the high court.'

Third Reich

The result of Adolf Hitler seizing control of the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP, which later became known as 'NAZI') in 1919. The party became militant in the 1920's and was transformed into the sole political party in Germany in the 1930's. Hitler abused the trust of the German people and become the genocidal military dictator, Fuhrer and Chancellor, of the then-called Nazi Germany (Third Reich), which joined the Axis powers during World War II. The Allied forces, primarily composed of American, British, and Russian troops, crushed the Nazi military during a long war campaign. Hitler, realizing his defeat, committed suicide, which threw the Third Reich into disarray, and they surrendered soon after.

Hitler led the Third Reich until the Allied forces whooped the Nazis.
