Det her taget noget tid og skulle lige (gen)finde alle mine gamle kilder, men nu er historien om hvordan et engelsk bombefly var tæt på at udslette hele min familie i foråret 1944 endelig klar.
Jeg har ikke lige haft hjerne til at få lagt billeder på da det er lidt et rettighedsmareridt, men historien har jeg da.

1. https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/we-got-attacked-carney-says-canada-is-at-war-with-us-over-trump-s-50-tariffs-article-14013415.html2. From the article: "Today, Prime Minister Mark Carney has suggested that Canada is “at war.” Not a shooting war, but about as serious a business for the country’s future as anything in our history."
3. If PM Mackenzie King found time to speak to Parliament at the start of something as grave as #WWII, PM #MarkCarney could find time to do so during a trade war.

Ver a mi vecinita jugar Captain America: Super Soldier me hizo caer en un agujero de conejo histórico bastante perturbador. 🕳️💀
Mientras ella lanza el escudo, yo no puedo dejar de pensar en el "suero de súper soldado" real: el Pervitin. A diferencia de la versión heroica de Steve Rogers, en la vida real se usaron anfetaminas de guerra para crear soldados que no dormían por 48 horas y caminaban distancias inhumanas. Muy alejado del brillo de los cómics, ¿verdad?
El costo de la resistencia sobrehumana fue la psicosis y el deterioro total del sistema nervioso.
Es una locura pensar que se buscaban súper soldados a costa de paranoias, daños renales y estragos permanentes gracias a una aplicación con poca o nula ética a las tropas militares.
El juego se vuelve mucho más denso cuando conoces la historia real detrás de esos experimentos. ¡Menos mal que en la consola no hay efectos secundarios tan feos! 🧪💊
Estado: 🧐 Perturbado
