  5. World War 2 propaganda poster - Quiet! Loose Talk Can Cost Lives - depicts a surprised looking businessman wearing a suit and bowler hat looking down at a large hand with an American flag on the sleeve covering his mouth. The poster was distributed by the British and American Ambulance Corps, Inc, 120 Lexington Avenue, New York City.

    The message is still relevant today to antifascist resistance.

  11. On Aug 11, 1909, Marie-Madeleine Fourcade was born in Marseille, France. She was the leader of the longest-running French wartime resistance/ spy network, “Alliance” (later called "Noah's Ark”). She survived the war and despite her role in the underground, de Gaulle did not name her among the 1,038 people he designated resistance heroes (which included only 6 women altogether). She died July 20, 1989.

  19. 1937, #Japan invades Nationalist #China kicking off #WW2. One of the biggest supporter of Chiang Kai-shek was the British empire. This lasted till 1939 when Adolf Hitler's actions forced London to reevaluate and curtail the support. #US did step in the breach.

    Post 2027 if something happens in Western #Pacific, then #Washington will face a hobbesian choice similar to what London faced in 1939. #Ukraine and #Israel will be left to fend for themselves.

  23. A tidbit for #war / #military #historians, esp. of #WW2 Eastern Front:

    Pretty good evidence of some #Soviet Red Army units lacking even rifles in 1941 can be found from Finnish intelligence reports published in Porvali, M. (2021). Kohti itää: Päämajan kaukopartio-osasto Vehniäinen 1941. Atena.
