Amidst the ruins of Berlin in 1945, the Soviet Heavy Tank's assumption of dominance over the battlefield echoed the imperial power plays of old, as seen in engravings of the German Army maneuvering before the Emperor at Konigsberg in East Prussia. Yet, the assumption of power holds no monopoly on history. Napoleon's rise to power mirrors this theme, as depicted in another era. In the realm of science, the assumption of flight by the 1905 Wright machine, altered to allow the operator a more comfortable position, paved the way for aviation's assumption of the skies. Even in the humble world of baking, the German baker's assumption of the artful creation of Flambettes brought joy to many. Assumption, in all its forms, shapes, and contexts, is a testament to human audacity and the relentless pursuit of power, progress, and pleasure.
