Although fairly busy it wasn't the usual Friday probably due to the 5€ tests but with the additional mask wearing next week I can see a continued decline on attendance.
With the new variant & high rates in Germany a temporary closure during December / January when many girls leave won't be the worse decision. The only issue would be whether the authorities drag their feet to allow a reopening when things improve which I hope they won't, unless the variant has a surprise in store.
Regards last Friday there were plenty of girls looking for business as they too are aware of a potential closure. Their biggest moan was the many groups of men who rarely or never took a room but in general it was the usual atmosphere.

Posts: 205I found this. Hessen already made some rule changes which will be in effect on Sunday. Masks will be back even with 2 G and a indoor place with over 250 guests need a permit from health authorities.

My main point is that Hitler did not have the luxury to postpone the invasion of USSR. And the second paragraph of this expert's quote details exactly why: Germany and Japan lacked the production capacity and population to beat USA and USSR in a long war. Essentially, Germany and Japan's only chance was to land a sucker punch and force a surrender early, before their economically and numerically superior foes had a chance to ramp up for war. The German blitzkrieg into USSR was so fast, that on the first day of Operation Barbosa, they were able to obliterate 40 percent of the Red Army's bomber aircraft on the ground before they were even able to take off. Japan tried to follow a similar blueprint with the Pearl Harbor attack. Their objective was to destroy the Pacific fleet but they missed their targets.
Attached image shows how many tanks USSR and USA produced, once they committed to the effort in 1941. The Allies easily out-produced the Axis. The Axis powers' "sneak attacks" were to incapacitate the enemy, then quickly achieve victory before the enemy could replace their fleet or bomber force.

Reichsmarschall Hermann Gring, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, believed the invasion could not succeed and doubted whether the German air force would be able to win unchallenged control of the skies; nevertheless he hoped that an early victory in the Battle of Britain would force the UK government to negotiate, without any need for an invasion. Adolf Galland, commander of Luftwaffe fighters at the time, claimed invasion plans were not serious and that there was a palpable sense of relief in the Wehrmacht when it was finally called off. Generalfeldmarschall Gerd von Rundstedt also took this view and thought that Hitler never seriously intended to invade Britain; he was convinced that the whole thing was a bluff to put pressure on the British government to come to terms following the Fall of France. He observed that Napoleon had failed to invade and the difficulties that confounded him did not appear to have been solved by the Sea Lion planners. In fact, in November 1939, the German naval staff produced a study on the possibility of an invasion of Britain and concluded that it required two preconditions, air and naval superiority, neither of which Germany ever had. Grand Admiral Karl Dnitz believed air superiority was not enough and admitted, "We possessed neither control of the air or the sea; nor were we in any position to gain it.

Stalin always planned to exploit military conflict between the capitalist countries to his advantage. He said as early as 1925 that "Struggles, conflicts and wars among our enemies are...our great ally...and the greatest supporter of our government and our revolution" and "If a war does break out, we will not sit with folded arms we will have to take the field, but we will be last to do so. And we shall do so in order to throw the decisive load on the scale"

If Hessen decides to close the clubs they might be open this weekend or it could be decision tomorrow and closed Friday?
I am coming to Darmstadt early evening tomorrow and didn't plan to go until Friday but maybe I need to rethink.
