Fascinating to hear that college level Communist Intellectual Indoctrination at establishments of Higher Education was once so valued....

Two hundred or so Georgians survived and at least twenty five or so were sent to Gulags. 565 Georgians were killed or executed by zee Germans. Rest apparently got amnesty perhaps thanks in part to said uprising being such good press.

Brits turned them over too. Over ten percent ended up in gulags with their families for about a decade. Meanwhile their actioms were being memorialized by the Soviet Unions Ambassador to the Netherlands and the Dutch Communist Party.

The Battle of Texel Island in the Netherlands which took place in April of 1945, mere weeks before the end of the War in Europe. I just saw this on a Community Post on the Works War Two day by day YouTube channel. But they post these simultaneously on their Instagram account as well...

I too had that negative experience. It was like a frigging mini menu to drop a grenade where you wanted it IIRC. Still a solid shooter for it's time though.

One of those stories that takes place in the Cold War that could've resulted in a Cold War Going Hot Scare but actually didn't and apparently went completely detected at the time. The time a Canadian CF-18 Hornet flew into the aerial buffer zone along the border with East Germany during...

Can't wait for Fallout: Francia or whatever.

The theorized kill ratio of US Bombers versus Axis Fighters in air to air combat. And yes, like everyone else, Gunners likely overstated their kills. :p

Oh shit... the Germans Invaded Norway. Looks like they're kicking ass... but why are they bombing that random island in a Fjord so intensely for no reason? :sneaky:

Saw this on Social Media in shorter clips so I looked for the longer videos on YouTube. It's all from the early days of the Syrian Civil War, before some Rebel Groups advanced further down the tech tree. Old Cannon. Trebuchets. Some of it was likely widely seen before but... always...

Yeah I've been seeing some adorable pictures of the floppy helmet covering being used as shade by the Zionist Stormtroopers, especially their Amazon Warriors. It's pretty clear it has more utility than just disruptive patterning. Plus of course, it hides their horns more effectively. I don't...

I was actually wondering about this one... All about the elongated head coverings some Israeli soldiers sport on their helmets, apparently known as a Mitznefet. I figured it was some random cultural head covering or the like. But no.

Brief History of Rum and Grog in the Navy by the very generically named YouTuber Johnny Johnson. Fun fact, the New Zealand Navy didn't eliminate its rum ration until 1990. Another fun fact, New Zealand apparently had a navy in 1990 and still has one today!

A really long article from Think DefenCe on Military Motorcycles. History, application and future etc. https://www.thinkdefence.co.uk/2023/09/the-past-present-and-future-of-military-motorcycles-and-e-bikes/ Almost reads out like an encyclopedia entry.

Watched the YouTuber Warhawk's video on the first day of the Second Battle of Bull Run where Confederate General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson managed to ambush four inexperienced brigades of Union infantry with his twenty six thousand troops lying in wait nearby along with multiple batteries of...

Opium increases pain tolerance which was its purpose when used by the Moros. Furthermore Opium was imported into what would become the Philippines in the mid-Sixteenth Century. Chinese were emigrating to the Philippines in significant numbers and bringing their opium trade with them starting...

Opium use was widespread in the Moro regions of the Philippines at the time (and well beyond that time... and region).

149mm Ansaldo Italian Army Howitzer located on a ridge above the Adamello Glacier. Apparently the position has been located there for over a century. Italy's border defenses are clearly bordering on obsolescence... but I guess it's not that big of a concern since such positions will be of...

During the Falklands War an Argentine Pilot and Squadron Leader Mario Jorge Caffaratti refused repeated orders to strike at the SS Uganda, a marked British Hospital Ship. Later though he did manage to take part in the attack that resulted in the sinking of the RFA Sir Galahad, a logistics...

World War Two Instagram Account (Same YouTube Channel that Covers WW2 Week By Week) Has a Lot of interesting stories to cover. Like this one involving escape attempts from Auschwitz.
