6 June 44: Omaha Beach "I could hear the machine-gun bullets hitting our tank, it sounded like throwing marbles at a car... The beach was covered with dead and wounded soldiers. There is no way of telling if I ran over any of them." "Pictures. Video games. Movies. Words. They simply do not convey the feeling of fear. The shock. The stench. The noise. The horror and the tragedy. The injured. The suffering. The dying. The dead." William Gast, A Company, 743rd Tank Battalion (supporting 29th Division) #WW2 #SWW #History

@hstonetg Amazing 😀

湾岸戦争時の写真を見ると土埃で大分真っ白なんだけど、それだけでカッコ良くできる気がしないので色々足掻いているところ。間に合えば静岡ホビーショーに持ち込みたい。

One of the footage in today's UFO release: a luminous sphere gliding between wind turbines. They had it classified. They kept it classified. They still can't explain it.

Here is a thread of each of the UFO videos released today by the Department of War.

Python’s “Marching Up and Down the Square” is pure genius. Michael Palin (83 today) hits notes that only dog whistles and Mariah Carey can match. The “extras” were real Colchester Garrison soldiers, who later said they were “fighting for their lives” not to break. 😂🤣

@FightingOnFilm Enough accuracy to make it feasible. Enough entertainment to make it watchable.

Would you rather a war film film be accurate or entertaining? 🤔

Easy Company paratrooper Forest Guth of Easy Company is photographed in Normandy after making his first combat jump. 🪂

Does anyone know why the Danish Frogman Corps uniform had to go so hard?

Am loving it round here for many reasons. @WeHaveWaysPod @ww2headquarters

@hstonetg Wow. I should just give up 🙃

The hidden physics of everyday things you never questioned: 1. The refrigerator doesn't create cold. It moves heat from inside to outside. Cold is not a thing,it is the absence of heat being relocated. 2. Glass is not a solid. It is an amorphous liquid frozen mid-flow. Old windowpanes are thicker at the bottom because the glass has been slowly moving downward for centuries. 3. Fire is not a thing. It is a process,the visible release of energy as a substance rapidly oxidises. Flame has no mass, no defined boundary, no independent existence. 4. The shadow you cast is travelling at the speed of light. Shadows are not objects,they are the absence of photons, and absence propagates as fast as presence does. 5. When you stand on the ground you are not touching it. The electrons in your feet and the electrons in the floor repel each other. Physical contact as you experience it is electromagnetic resistance, not actual touch. 6. Hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions. This is called the Mpemba effect and physicists still do not fully agree on why it happens. 7. Sound cannot travel in space. But if it could, the sun would be louder than anything the human ear could survive at any distance. 8. A piece of paper cannot be folded in half more than seven times regardless of its size. The exponential thickness increase makes it physically impossible. 9. The atoms in your body are almost entirely empty space. If you removed all the empty space from every atom in every human on Earth, all of humanity would fit inside a sugar cube. 10. Honey never expires. Archaeologists have found 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs that was still chemically edible. 11. The static electricity built up by walking across a carpet is between 10,000 and 35,000 volts. The shock you feel is harmless only because the current is near zero. 12. Metals that are perfectly smooth will permanently bond on contact in a vacuum. There is no force holding them apart,welding requires no heat, only the absence of surface contamination. 13. The loudest sound ever recorded,the 1883 Krakatoa eruption was heard 4,800 kilometres away and circled the Earth four times as a pressure wave. 14. Light from the sun takes eight minutes to reach you. When you look at the sun you are looking eight minutes into the past. When you look at the nearest star beyond the sun, you are looking four years into the past. 15. Time moves measurably faster at the top of a tall building than at its base. Gravity literally slows time. Your head ages fractionally faster than your feet every single day.

How many could guess what battle this is without seeing any of the units and without knowing what date the map is?
