"The ‘Purple Heart Battalion’ fought Nazis abroad and injustice at home

These Japanese American soldiers amassed a total of nearly 9,500 Purple Hearts.

(. . .)

Their government’s actions did not strip many of them of their willingness to serve. About 33,000 of them either enlisted or were drafted during World War II. Japanese Americans fought heroically for the country of their birth. Most of them served in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which included 21 Medal of Honor recipients.

The 442nd suffered so many casualties that it became known as the 'Purple Heart Battalion.'

(. . .)

The Nisei soldiers refused to allow the injustice and prejudice they endured to affect their military service. For two seemingly endless days, they battled dense foliage and icy rain as they attempted to avoid setting off German mines. As they neared the ridge where the Germans had more than 270 members of the 1st Battalion, 141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division surrounded, the enemy unleashed artillery fire, the National Museum of the U.S. Army reported. The 442nd sustained several casualties but kept fighting.

The 442nd launched several attacks, but could not save the Lost Battalion. Finally, after the Nazis killed one of his fellow Nisei soldiers, Pvt. George Sakato charged the enemy. By himself, he killed 12 Germans, wounded two more, and personally captured four others. Sakato also helped his platoon detain 34 Germans as prisoners.

'As a unit, we were used like cannon fodder,' Sakato later said. '… I was willing to die for my country.'

The same day, Pvt. Barney Hajiro charged a slope ominously called Suicide Hill. Hajiro took out two machine-gun nests and killed two snipers while dodging fire.

Sakato and Hajiro epitomized the fierce resolve of the 442nd’s soldiers. That determination finally paid off six days into the intense fighting when they saved the Lost Battalion."

@cbarbermd On a completely unrelated note, the Simple Sabotage Field Manual is a document written by the Office of Strategic Services in 1944, and is widely available as a PDF online. I cannot recommend it highly enough for history buffs, or people who like seeing beautiful studies of systems architecture. One runs out of superlatives.

Jozef Garlinski & Eileen Short

"I shan't make any attempt to get away, I shall stay in Warsaw. I will wait for you"

On the 1st of September 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland. 25-year-old Christian Pole Jozef Garlinski had just fallen in love with Eileen Short, an Irish nurse on an exchange visit from Liverpool. His colonel gave him an hour's leave to get married before the regiment left for the front. Eileen's parting words to Jozef were her commitment to wait.

Jozef joined the Polish underground resistance. He was arrested in April 1943 + arrived at Auschwitz in May. Eileen remained in Warsaw. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 she helped care for wounded. The German SS captured + shot anyone who looked like a soldier or who was wearing an armband. Eileen survived only because her red cross armband had falllen off + was stuffed in her pocket. The survivors were taken to a camp for civilians near the city. She escaped from the camp + spent the next few months with relatives of Jozef..

Jozef + Eileen had decided before the war that if they were separated + the Soviets took over Poland they would head for the West + contact each other through Eileen's mother in Ireland. Their plan was successful, both reaching London where they settled + raised their son.

Engadget: Authorities probe Holocaust denial responses from X’s Grok. “French authorities are investigating allegations that Grok made statements denying the Holocaust. The Paris public prosecutor’s office said it was adding Elon Musk’s chatbot’s latest controversy to a criminal probe initially launched in July.”

#SirNicholasWinton helped rescue 669 children, mostly Jewish, whose families had fled persecution by Nazi Germany. On a brief visit to Czechoslovakia, he helped compile a list of children in danger + returning to Britain, he worked to fulfill legal + monetary requirements for bringing the children to Britain thus enabling the #CzechKindertransport. Winton acknowledges the vital roles of those who remained in Prague, like #TrevorChadwick, who "dealt with all the considerable problems at the Prague end + this work he continued to carry on even when it became difficult + dangerous when the Germans arrived.". The 9th + largest transport of 250 children was stopped at the last minute, canceled because Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Those children were removed from the train + returned to their families.
Winton kept his humanitarian accomplishments to himself until 1988 when his wife found his detailed scrapbook in their attic. The book was given to #ElisabethMaxwell, a Holocaust researcher who was able to locate many of #Wintonschildren. He was invited to the TV program #ThatsLife!, where host #EstherRantzen reunited him with some of those he had helped, as well as their families. Winton was knighted in 2003 + in 2025 a #film of his story was released starring #AnthonyHopkins #JohnnyFlynn + #HelenaBonhamCarter titled #OneLife - a reference to a line from the Talmud: "Whoever saves one life saves the world entire"
