These men jumped into Holland and into chaos. Their story deserves more than a footnote.

Hastings shows Allied failures, German soldiers with no choice, and Soviet war crimes — equal weight, equal honesty. Rare in WWII books.

When most Americans think of #WWII, the story starts on December 7, 1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. But the United States had been edging toward war with Germany for several months before Japanese Zeros screamed over the Hawaiian Islands, as President Franklin D Roosevelt made clear with his “shoot-on-sight” Fireside Chat to the nation on September 11, 1941.

For the #History theme for this week's #JukeBoxFridayNight, here's "Prisoner" by Scottish folk singer Dick Gaughan. My father introdued me to this song and it's stuck with me. At the time I'd known nothing of German Nobel Peace Prize winner Carl von Ossietzky and his fate.
Caution: it's a grim song, with an uneasy message. We cannot let this history repeat.
"In the struggle against injustice
He fought hard and he fought long
Child - remember Ossietsky
Peace won't come by words alone" -

Parts of 1986 report on Nazis in Canada must be made public: judge
https://nationalpost.com/news/nazis-canada-report-declassifiedIt all seems mysterious to me: Did Canada allow Nazis to settle here after #WWII out of carelessness? Or was there some scheme, like favouring anti-Communists, regardless of what they did before 1945? And why is there still secrecy about the Deschênes Commission?

My husband discovered the 'cozy' British TV mystery, "BOOKISH," because one of his idols, Mark Gatiss, wrote it and stars in it.

"Через пожежі в Європі почали детонувати боєприпаси часів світових воєн", — Associated PressНасправді, від спеки почали вибухати старі, протухлі кремлівські консерви — "режисери", "музиканти", "вчителі", "вчені", "спортсмени" й інші "хороші руzьські" з "команди #huylo". Бо вони не користуються кондиціонерами, через те, що їх навчили, що за допомогою цих пристроїв їх "можуть відстежити, підслухати і викрити західні спецслужби"

Freaking out about the #nationaldebt?
No worries, we are at the same percentage of #GDP that we were at the end of #WWII. All we need to do is set #tax rates to what #Eisenhower did after the war. Problem solved. And by the way, we rebuilt and expanded the country's #infrastructure in the ensuing years.

NPR: How AI is being used to track art stolen by the Nazis. “During World War II, the Nazis looted more than 600,000 works of art, mostly owned by Jews. In the decades since, there’s been an effort to get these works back to their owners, but it’s not easy, and roughly a fifth of them have still not been returned. Now, a new AI chatbot might be making that complicated process a little simpler.”

I never thought about this before, but of course there were many years when most of the male athletes in professional sports were recent war veterans. Here was one: Fred Boensch (1920-2000) had a jaw injury from a bullet wound in World War II. He played football upon his return to the US, including a few seasons in the NFL; he used protective masks made of rubber, leather, and iron to prevent further damage to his facial bones. #football #NFL #WWII #dishist #sports #veterans

Your regular reminder that #Fascist draft dodging #DonaldTrump trying to unconstitutionally label "Antifa violence" as "terrorism" would mean every single Allied #WWII #veteran is a "terrorist" by their insane "definition". *EVERYONE* that kicks Nazi asses is literally an #Antifacist. Vance was right, Trump is officially "America's Hitler" now.

🌅This morning at Forest Dale Cemetery in Malden, a small group of us came together to place flags on veterans’ graves.
🇺🇸 Every flag carries a story of courage and sacrifice — from Revolutionary soldiers to today.
🕊️Freedom has always come at a cost, paid by someone’s son, daughter, parent, or neighbor.
Let’s continue to honor their legacy.🇺🇸

"When that man is dead and gone" -- Al Bowlly
Al Bowlly' last recorded song, made two weeks before his death, a duet with Jimmy Mesene of Irving Berlin's satirical song on Hitler.
Al Bowlly died in London on 17 April 1941. He was killed by a Luftwaffe parachute mine that detonated outside his flat at ten past three in the morning.

@Shadedlady : ik zoek nog even verder, maar zie alvast https://amsterdam.partijvoordedieren.nl/moties/motie-inzake-gratis-toegang-nationaal-holocaustmuseum-voor-middelbare-scholieren.
Zionistische organisaties en Zionisten met "hoge functies" zijn, 80 jaar na dato, voortdurend bezig om MISBRUIK te maken van de #Jodenvervolging tijdens #WWII om "aan te tonen" dat Joden ALTIJD worden aangevallen en daarom bijzondere bescherming verdienen.
Daarbij hebben zij (IHRA) de definitie van AntiSemitisme zó aangepast dat kritiek op Zionisme en Zionisten onder AntiSemitisme valt, en dus strafbaar is. Zie ook mijn draad vanaf https://todon.nl/@ErikvanStraten/116374141973807534.
De PvdD is willens en wetens in de Zionistische val getrapt door te roeptoeperen dat jongeren vooral naar het Holocaustmuseum zouden moeten gaan om onvoorwaardelijk medelijden te krijgen met NU levende Joden, zij in Israël in het bijzonder.
Naast dat DIT NIET WERKT is dit #Hasbara.

We had about 2 months of no violence after the big US pull-out official date. Then, the new & not cohesive Communist regime took over. With a ton of corrupt & inhumane officers put into leadership for awhile. Those new Saigon officials opted to go very heavy handed, starting in May of 1978. They violently targeted Chinese Viet citizens, including my family, at that time. My Grandpa had been working on rebuilding the incense factory in Cholon at the time. He was held up, at gunpoint by Viet Communist cops & beaten up - even after giving them all the cash he had (June 1978). The same kinda thugs targeted my Dad, a leading university human rights activist at the time - beating him up & imprisoning him. When Grandpa & Dad were released, Grandpa started to plot our escape from Vietnam. Grandpa said, if we stay now - They'll kill all of us because we are Teochew & we won't stop being Teochew. We are leaving for freedom from endless wars!
