#wwii — Public Fediverse posts

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"

A grim milestone for #Russia was reached this morning:

1.5 million casualties in their stupid #UkraineWar

(Casualties = dead wounded captured and missing)

Obviously #WWII surpasses that, but no conflict since. In fact 1.5 million casualties surpasses all conflicts Russia/ #USSR was involved in since, combined

The world is a very stupid place full of very stupid people who don't understand the stakes with rising #fascism. Russia shows them where it leads. Do they see?

В нашому редакційному обговоренні прозвучали й крамольні, незручні ідеї, що може між євреями і нацистами рейху тоді (в часи #WWII) сталося щось подібне до "розбрату", антагонізму і подальшому несприйняттю, яке відбулося між сталіним і гітлером? Звідки такі "наміри" тотального винищення цілого народу (а далі й інших народів)? Між іншим, до совєтських гітлерівці поставилися практично так само, після "побиття глечиків" між двома диктаторами — німецьким і совєтським
