Both issues are related to Ninject not being setup or integrated correctly. The trunk version of Ninject allows you to bypass having to define custom controller factories. It's a cleaner setup and less confusing.
Did you update your application_start in global. Asax to point to the ninject controller factory?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
