...They approach rapidly, push down on us, strafe the street with their cannons and bombs and leave a bloody trail. Vehicles are alight, ammunition explodes, wounded are aided and off we go again.”

The late Kurt Landrichter (2./SS-PzAA1) about being on the receiving end of the fighter-bombers.

...We look for byways – narrow forest roads – along small rivers over hill and dale. Whenever we cross open terrain we always assign one of us as an airplane spotter. They’re everywhere, the Jabos. Small black dots against the blue sky...

“You see them as little dots somewhere on the horizon – then it is already time to get off the vehicles, into the fields away from the road. The Jabo flies along the street and fires its cannons and rockets. Vehicles burn, wounded cry but we have to move on...

Gustav Knittel as an SS-Untersturmführer with the 'Achselschnur', the aiguillette, most likely photographed in his ceremonial uniform on the 9th of November 1938.

Thanks for the kind words! It is exactly that, I've focused on both the SS battalion and its victims. Particularly proud of giving over 70 of the 138 civilians murdered in and around Stavelot a face.

Blijkbaar is AI de enige manier om een afbeelding te vinden van een Duitser die compassie toont - waarbij je "Duitser" heel ruim moet nemen (lang verhaal kort: AI bakt er weer eens niets van).

Mijn nichtjes zouden zeggen: cringe.

The Wéreth Eleven - the report written by Captain William F. Everett, ass. regimental surgeon of the 395th US Infantry Regiment, disproves popular myths about torture. What was done to the victims, as recorded by Everett, is horrific enough without the post-war exaggerations.

Ze laten zich zeker door Moskou sturen, maar als useful idiots, daar is weinig professioneel aan.

Het probleem is dat we met een groeiend aantal stemgerechtigden zitten dat alles dat niet op één lijn zit met PVV/FvD/JA21 als "links" ziet.

De mannen van Defend worden naar eigen zeggen terug naar CS geleid om vanuit daar via pendelbussen naar het Museumplein te worden gebracht.

Iemand lijkt er weinig zin in te hebben nu de politie alles goes controleert.

Het is een wijdverbreid misverstand dat Person of the Year een soort stamp of approval is. Het is niet meer en niet minder dan benadrukken wie het afgelopen jaar de krantenkoppen domineerde, letterlijk "for better or for worse". Stalin was 2x Man of the Year, Trump 2x, Chroesjtsjov en Khomeini 1x
