Guess this iconic aircraft?

@panzermatt @VoicesofWW2 How did they got past that dog there?

@VoicesofWW2 And as it is today. No eagle, vandalism has destroyed it

85 years ago today, the sky over Crete went black with parachutes. It was May 20, 1941. Hitler had just unleashed Operation Mercury, the largest airborne invasion the world had ever seen. 22,000 elite Fallschirmjäger, the pride of the Reich, dropped onto an island most of them couldn't find on a map. What happened next horrified him. Cretan villagers swarmed the paratroopers as they hit the ground, armed with scythes, kitchen knives, hunting shotguns, and antique rifles older than their grandfathers. Priests fought. 12-year-old boys fought. Old women fought. One German account describes being chased through an olive grove by a grandmother with a meat cleaver. Hundreds of paratroopers were killed before they could unhook from their harnesses. Others were shot dangling in trees. Entire elite battalions ceased to exist in a single afternoon. The Germans won the battle. It took them 10 brutal days. They lost roughly 4,000 of their best airborne troops, more Fallschirmjäger than they had lost in every previous campaign of the war combined. Hitler was so shaken that he summoned General Student, the father of the German airborne, and told him: "The day of the parachute troops is over." He never authorized a major airborne assault again. The cruel irony: Churchill watched the same battle and drew the opposite conclusion. Britain immediately accelerated its own airborne program. Three years later, those lessons fell from the sky over Normandy. Crete won the war it lost.

Which side are you on?

@BLackgold_5 Cat

Do you recognize this aircraft ? Outside of window

This is probably one of the best commercials I’ve ever seen ❤️👏

@kendelliott No ballroom?

This graphic showing the size of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway never fails to amaze me

@Fun_Viral_Vids When you win Olympic gold you could expect more than one camera. To win gold you have to wear almost nothing, train everything and stop caring about others noticing that fit looks good. So stop blaming her and win gold yourself😀

She knew where the camera was, and she know what she must to do

@WarMonitor3 Moanlers? Get a Hangar.

@NotAvgLiberal 110%?

76 days ago - This motherfucker started a war with Iran. 75 days ago - He said the war “Was Over…. Complete Victory” 68 days ago - He begged NATO for assistance with the war in Iran. 68 days ago - NATO told him to fuck off. 65 days ago - 13 US Military personnel were needlessly killed in Iran…. Hundreds more have been wounded. 2 days ago - Trump asked China for help with Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz…. China said no. In the last 76 days - This piece of shit has said dozens of times that he has beaten Iran…. And the war was over. In the last 76 days - Gas has gone from $2.59 to $4.79 a 110% increase. Groceries are at the highest ever in U.S. History. The cost of living is at the highest ever in U.S. History. All because this motherfucker was elected president, And started a bullshit war…. To distract from the fact - He’s all over the Epstein Files. He’s a Pedophile.

@nanomysou @RekaCath @NoContextDutch1 Even after official use it is back to the Albert Heijn tasje.

@RekaCath @NoContextDutch1 No, that's a private citizen, there are no rules for handling the flag for private citizens. This is A-OK to do. If it was a public office, that would be different.

@FOXSoccer @FWC26Houston Don't expect as much Dutch people there as in South Africa or Brasil. Most don't want to show their social media to a government official. Others wonder if american police and public can handle a patry like this. See some videos by the comments.

Texas 🤝 Netherlands The famous Dutch Orange Bus has touched down in Texas to get ready to support Netherlands this summer for the 2026 FIFA World Cup 🇳🇱 (via @FWC26Houston)

@Mankosmash @Aviation_Intel Too stupid to know.

@Aviation_Intel this is how Europe treats "NATO allies" 🙄🤣

U.S. Air Force Special Operations Aircraft Accused Of Austrian Airspace Incursion Austria says it scrambled Eurofighters two days in a row to intercept U.S. military aircraft, likely U-28As operated by Air Force Special Operations Command. twz.com/air/u-s-air-fo…

@johnkonrad In Europe we have inland containerports hunderds of miles from the sea. You can build barges that fit the river and you can make changes to rivers.

Man shows world why America has the best river system in the entire world. Man does not explain why we don’t use it to get more trucks off our highways.

On this day in 1940, the German Luftwaffe lost 361 aircraft during its invasion of the Netherlands. This included 275 Ju 52 transport aircraft, 37 Heinkel 111 bombers, and 47 Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters. Total Luftwaffe losses after the Dutch surrender reached 450 aircraft. 😳

@ntvde Mooi zo, waarom zouden zij zich veilig mogen voelen. Waarom zou men moeten toestaan dat een bezetter doet alsof ze de vrede herdenkt?

@GansoConABomba Like watching an old Western movie with a hero whose revolver has unlimited ammo.

@Observa88587866 @RWSverkeersinfo Bizar

@RWSverkeersinfo Zie hoe debiel ze zijn met alsnog invoegen

Het kost wat moeite, maar de afritten op de #A58 bij Tilburg -Centrum zijn zojuist dichtgezet. Op de aansluitende Blaakweg doet de politie onderzoek naar de toedracht van een ongeval. Het is niet bekend hoelang dit duurt. De afsluiting zorgt voor veel hinder in en rond Tilburg.

@VerdejoHo @bayraktar_1love A "ruzzian 3 days"? We all heard that before.

@bayraktar_1love dont worry boss...we will have this up and like new in 3 days time 😂😂

The facility is part of Russia’s unified air traffic control system, responsible for coordinating aviation traffic across southern Russia. Disruption or damage to such infrastructure can impact flight coordination and aviation logistics. 215km from the frontline. (47.2668515, 39.8193193)

@United24media WTF?

⚡️ EU visa approvals for Russians rise despite widespread support for the war.
