Mine is the album cover of Over and Underneath by Tenth Avenue North. This album has been a big comfort and encouragement to me, and I’m glad that God showed it to me. It speaks to many issues that I face.

Either that or be pestered by ads.
While none are in any way a supporter of CF other than to fund petty cash you can get no-adds just from an adblock.

Mine shift according to mood. I’m doing a black and white theme with an air of softness at present. I like that look for this site. Something edgy would seem weird.

Mine was selected to give those who jump to conclusions and are not especially aware of the details of WW II a change to make fools of themselves.

It has been amusing to find out how many people have assumed my avatar was a loyal Nazi. And I made it easy and went with Klaus von Stauffenberg rather than Oster or von Tresckow!

Mine is three cats of Starclan (warrior ancestors) since I am an avid fan of the Warrior Cat book series. As well as cats in general.

I once had a warrior cat. He got into a dispute with 2 weimaraners. They lost badly.

No idea who any of those dudes are but I always thought your posts were sensible for the most part. I always enjoy common sense.

I have adblock, but there came up a window telling that it is not......cannot remember what it said, but is was just annoying as ads.

Claus von Stauffenberg is the most famous of those involved in teh plots to assassinate Hitler.

Henning von Tresckow was perhaps the central figure in those plots. Hitler called him the evil force behind to plots.

Hans Oster was second in command of the Abwer (German Military Intelligence). He was central to the first attempt by the military to depose Hitler. It fizzled because the plan was to arrest him after teh invasion of Czechoslovakia. When the Czechs received no help form other nations and were quickly overrun it would have been suicide to try that. Oster had planned to double cross everyone, sort of. He conspired with the leader of the commando group to make sure Hitler would tragically be killed in a crossfire. His boss Admiral Canaris was also involved in the plots against Hitler.

All save Tresckow were executed. Tresckow faked an allied attack on the Eastern front and then as he rushed forward in action pulled teh pin on a grenade and held it to his head. Both so he could not reveal anything under torture and to create some small confusion.

I like Oster best. He was cold as ice and saw the inevitable far before others.

Decided to change my avatar to two of my favorite warrior cats. Tallstar leader of Windclan and Whitestorm warrior of Thunderclan looking up at Silverpelt (the milkyway) where Starclan (warrior ancestors) lives. Felt it was time to change avatars.

I know a little bit around events against Hitler according to the saint that hanged for the cause. But politically not much else. My heroes aren’t biblical figures either. My heroes are in ideals and the many steps leading there. It’s not so hard to imagine.

Interesting thread. I once had the picture below in my office. I was a consultant and asked my clients what it "said" to them. I was astounded by the diversity of responses. So how people perceive our avatars may say more about them, than about us.
