"Sunday Bloody Sunday" is a song by Irish #rock band U2. It is the opening track from their 1983 album #War and was released as the album's third single on 21 March 1983 in the #Netherlands and #WestGermany. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is noted for its #militaryDrumbeat, harsh guitar, and melodic harmonies. One of U2's most overtly political songs, its lyrics describe the horror felt by an observer of #theTroubles in #NorthernIreland.

I'm given to understand Germans found it less hilarious

@mutanthumb But don't US states sometimes drift to the other party?
The effects visible in these maps have been coined by #Germany being divided from 1949 to 1990 and the difference stayed this way for the last 35 years. I truly believe we are one nation but our history and the social factors shown are much different.

"For the best part of three years, Friedrich Karl Vialon was one of the archetypal 'writing-desk murderers' who kept the bureaucratic machinery of the Holocaust ticking over.
Deployed to Nazi-occupied Riga in 1942, his job was to strip the Baltic states of every asset his staff could lay their hands on: jewellery, boots, winter coats, musical instruments, de facto slaves and gold fillings stripped from the mouths of executed Jews, one of which was reimplanted into the mouth of one of his secretaries.
Vialon performed this task with grim thoroughness, raising the number of Jewish forced labourers in the region from 6,000 to 13,800 and personally supervising the confiscation of belongings at house raids and the nearby SS concentration camp at Salaspils.
Yet he paid no price for these crimes. Quite the contrary: only five years after the end of the war he was appointed to head the budget department at the West German finance ministry.
Three years later Konrad Adenauer, the chancellor, put Vialon in charge of the finance and economics unit in his own office. Vialon retired in 1966 with a plump civil-service pension and died in early 1990, five months after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The first systematic analysis of the early West German chancellery’s personnel files, conducted by the Stuttgart University historian Gunnar Take, shows that stories like Vialon’s were so common as to be almost normal in the 1950s and 1960s.
He found that out of the 107 senior officials in the chancellery between 1949 and 1970, 57 were too young to have occupied positions of any influence under the Nazi dictatorship.
Of the remaining 50, 20 had held mid or high-ranking posts in the Third Reich, ranging from Wehrmacht and Gestapo officers to powerful administrative jobs or deployments to oversee occupied territory. Most of these individuals, like Vialon, had also been members of the Nazi party."

Scott Ritter: The Birth of the German Fourth Reich
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/07/15/scott-ritter-the-birth-of-the-german-fourth-reich/
After its defeat, Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich was coaxed back to life by the very forces that once conspired to defeat it. Germany today has dangerously embarked on a rearmament campaign to prepare for a supposed Russian threat. New Chancellor…

I feel I have been neglecting #mastodon of late, so here is a #photo of the #spiderman that my dad painted in my bedroom back in #1980. We had just returned from #WestGermany the first time I had been out of the country. I took this photo a couple of years ago on the day we sold the house. I hope it is still there.

reminder:
#HomeOwnershipRate in #Germany is low because after the #war ONLY the state could house that many homeless people:
"It worked. Home-building boomed, thanks to a combination of direct subsidies and generous tax exemptions available to public, non-profit and private entities. #WestGermany chopped its #HousingShortage in half by 1956."
https://qz.com/167887/germany-has-one-of-the-worlds-lowest-homeownership-rates
We're now 50 years into reversing that trend & forcing people into buying #homes.
And it DOESN'T WORK. For 50 fucking years!!

A settlement guaranteeing #Ukraine security and economic recovery, while conceding #Russia occupation of part of east and south, at least in short term?
"More than 40 years after division, a strengthened #WestGermany was reunified w East. Would it take same time for Ukraine?"

No #Cartoon from #StanleyKubrick "The Shining" parody was included in cover of 🇺🇸📰 American edition of #MadMagazine, a copyright thing, I guess.
However it was done so on covers of 🇲🇽📰Mexican and 🇩🇪📰German editions -in those years the later was for sale in #WestGermany or #FRG -
In 1962, the Democratic German Report, an English-language journal based in the #DDR, published a map listing the countries in which former members of the Nazi party were working as ambassadors for the Federal Republic of Germany. Despite the end of the Third Reich’s reign of terror, the ‘old elites’ quickly re-emerged in the young Federal Republic. Functionaries of the Hitler regime were appointed to influential positions in the judiciary, universities, the army, and corporations. #eastgermany #westgermany @[email protected]

Royal Air Force GR.1 Harriers operating out of a West Germany forest in the early 1970s.
Initial Harrier versions had a limited autonomy yet the VSTOL capability was expected to be used operating without airfields and very close to the battlefield:
