@RDPHistory Watched a good documentary about these guys , Really good to hear first hand about their time there

April 2nd 1982: The Royal Marines of Naval Party 8901 plus some FIDF and sailors from Endurance are gathered under guard in the paddocks outside Government House. Just to right of centre, Geordie Gill flips the bird to the cameraman, telling him just what he thinks of him! 🤣

@DefenceHQ @RoyalAirForce Were there any Anti aircraft crews in WW2 that got 5 aircraft wanting to be called Aces?

During WWII, an Ace was a pilot credited with five confirmed enemy aircraft strikes in combat. For the first time, as part of defensive operations in the Middle East, multiple gunners from @RoyalAirForce Regiment have hit this historic benchmark.

One of the things I’ll never understand about rugby is the half n half thing. Berets and kilts. Saw it all over the place at Haymarket today. I understand the sentiment obvs, I just don’t get how it fits into this type of fixture. It’s not a friendly.

Scottish McFolk: I’m trying this tonight. It serves one, yes?

@RabbiPoupko Was that the same soviet lawyers that had no idea Stalin and Hitler made a deal to split Poland up between them at the start of the war?

On Jan 31, 1943, after Hitler refused to let him retreat and brought a cruel death on hundreds of thousands of German soldiers, Nazi Field Marshall Friedrich Paulus surrendered in Stalingrad to the Soviet army. In Berlin, it was reported that he was killed and that he fought heroically to the last minute; in reality, he and his 250,000 men were sentenced to death by the arrogance, delusions, and beastly cruelty of the intoxicated Hitler and Goering. Paulus was betrayed, but he would have his moment of revenge. In the Nuremberg trials, German lawyers did a spectacular job lying and saying the generals were just following orders, did not coordinate with the SS, and did not initiate the invasion of Russia. The Soviets listened to it all, cynically and quietly, and waited until the end. Then the Soviets asked to let one more witness into the room, and in walked Nazi Field Marshall Friedrich Paulus as a witness. Panic set in. Goering began frothing and screaming, while other Nazis cursed out loud. Paulus was quiet and factual and said the truth we all know: it was all planned, the Wermacht coordinated with the SS, no one was forced to do anything; they were all as guilty as it gets. We will never forget.

@christian_bolle Football world cup games in North America are kicking off when most Europeans are going to bed. Just adapt and stop moaning

The Olympic committee, NBC, and even the NHL need to find a way to change the start time of the gold medal game. To potentially have USA and Canada playing in the potentially the biggest game ever and you’re going to start it when most of North America is asleep??

Excellent game today Scotland need to carry it forward to next one #SCOvENG 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #AsOne
