@DrOetkerPizzaDE Die muss ich gleich Kapern ...ich geh ja schon wieder..... 😑

How much is the Fish? Auf diese quälende Frage gibt es ab Mai endlich eine Antwort. Dann ist unsere neue Sorte Suprema Tonno mit zartem Thunfisch, kombiniert mit roten Zwiebeln, Kapern (!!) und Ricotta-Creme im Handel erhältlich.

@get_tanked @Tank_Archives The fate of the "Dicker Max" is for over 80 years unknown. Captured were both "Sturer Emil" im Stalingrad.

@tim39826 @Tank_Archives That’s not a Sturer Emil, both are Dicker Max

#OTD in 1941 Hitler reviewed the Dicker Max SPG, deciding to send two prototypes into combat and determine whether or not they should be put into production based on the result. One prototype blew up due to an ammunition fire and the other was captured. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

@Blo60215533 @engineers_feed That was the Flettner FI-282

@tim39826 @engineers_feed Sikorsky R‑4, the first mass‑produced helicopter in history. Its very first flight took place in early 1942

The inventor of the helicopter, Igor Sikorsky, in the Sikorsky H-5 helicopter, 1945.

@HMSBritannia82 @meaniepants_Esq @intothefuture45 @grok Waiting until they ran out of fuel.

@tim39826 @meaniepants_Esq @intothefuture45 @grok What are the reds going to do against 1000 of them?

Arguably this was the peak of the British Army in modern warfare, and maybe the world at the time (am open to robust, substantive rebuttals!). All forgotten by 1939, then learned again up to 1945 but no longer as the dominant military force it was here.

@HMSBritannia82 @meaniepants_Esq @intothefuture45 @grok Propeller drive. Those British engineers really know their stuff

@tim39826 @meaniepants_Esq @intothefuture45 @grok Cope. Moscow would be gone

@HMSBritannia82 @meaniepants_Esq @intothefuture45 @grok They would have destroyed you in a single week in 1945 thats why you chickend out of operation unthinkable Cowards

@tim39826 @meaniepants_Esq @intothefuture45 @grok Russians🤣🤣🤣

@HMSBritannia82 @meaniepants_Esq @intothefuture45 @grok Dude, you were sitting for 4 years in belgium while we finished russia in the meantime

@meaniepants_Esq @intothefuture45 @grok Nope. The British Army rolled the Germans in 1918

@hw97karbine @WW2Talk Clearly Ausführung D Ausführung F was solar powered

@WW2Talk The image is obviously I generated since the vehicle is clearly a Panzermumpsmizels-Rubelawagen Ausf. F and this type could not run on lesal nard synthetic fuel until the Ausf. M model was introduced in late 1944 to cope with wartime shortages

AI and Forums: New people posting their tripe AI videos (Instant ban territory). People coming in with legit queries that've been fed absolute ahistorical toss by some AI-trained AI. Etc. Yet to see a benefit in our area. The opposite, really. Historiography in some danger.

@hw97karbine Even it is staged it was not uncommon at this stage of the war

Likely staged sequence from 1941 showing a German launch departing a French port to rescue a British airman adrift in the English Channel on what appears to be the port wing of a Westland Lysander wing

@Civixplorer The Holy Roman Empire of German Nation Or the first Reich

This was central Europe about 600 years ago.

@emobaxxter In meiner Pubertät hatte ich das auch ganz oft. Das und Tennisarm

junge was passiert hier plötzlich, das ist neu (das bild ist unbearbeitet 💀💀)

@Ww2Fho @MilHistNow Nope

@MilHistNow The greatest raid of all time.

On this day in 1942, 600 British commandos along with Royal Navy personnel knock out the dry dock facility at St Nazaire, France. A third of the attacking force is captured or killed, but the mission is a success. See: militaryhistorynow.com/2022/02/22/ope…

@Christo38617504 @hw97karbine One Sanitäter was even awarded the Knight's Cross: Franz Schmitz. Under enemy fire, in 14 hours, he rescued 98 of his wounded comrades on 25th of july 1943

@hw97karbine The sanitater is in this video. A very busy man.

Various styles of German helmet straps on the Eastern Front in 1941

@metoffice The German Navy expected the landing to take place in the early morning between 5 and 7 June between Le Havre and Cherbourg The Luftwaffe came to the same conclusion on the basis of the heavy bombing of the area Only the OKW held a different view and ignored the objections

The first trailer for ‘Pressure’ is here, the film which tells the story of the most important weather forecast; the D-Day forecast. Andrew Scott stars as Group Captain James Stagg – the Met Office meteorologist tasked with delivering the weather forecast and helping shape D-Day's plans. In cinemas 9 September. #pressuremovie @StudiocanalUK

@JimMilton911 @MarioBojic Why i read this with an indian accent Tell me "Jim" tell me

@MarioBojic If you zoom in on the background, you see every man cheering and crying. Therefore its easy to understand that most german men are gay, bi or trans, all atheists.

Mayor of Munich 1933 VS. Mayor of Munich 2026.

@cuthbertgreg @DrHelenFry No, but many of the Germans were sentenced to death and executed for "aiding and abetting the escape"

@DrHelenFry Has anyone wrote a book from the German perspective on the break out ?

#OTD 24th March 1944: The "Great Escape" from Stalag Luft III began, where 76 Allied airmen tunnelled out, though only 3 evaded capture long-term. Hitler demanded the execution of every recaptured POW, plus Stalag Luft III's commandant, architect & all duty guards at the time.

@HeraldryOnline @DrHelenFry Explain to me, as if I were a child, the differences between the actions of the Resistance and those of the Germans being condemned here

@tim39826 @DrHelenFry The main difference is that the airmen were Prisoners of War.

The Essen War Crimes Trial (often called the "Essen Lynching Case") was a notable British Military Court proceeding held in Essen, Germany, from 18–22 December 1945. It tried seven defendants (including Erich Heyer and six others) for the murder of three captured British airmen who were lynched by a mob in Essen-West on 13 December 1944, in violation of the laws of war. This was one of the early post-WWII trials focusing on specific atrocities against POWs, distinct from the major International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg (which targeted top Nazi leaders) or the later U.S. subsequent Nuremberg trials (like the Krupp industrialists' case in 1947–48, also linked to Essen/Ruhr region). Lesser-known regional trials like Essen highlighted local accountability for mob violence and breaches of the Hague Conventions, setting precedents for prosecuting war crimes against Allied personnel.
