The great story of Evgeny Stepanovich Kobytev.

This photo is of the same man 4 years apart after his WW2 experience. He fought for the Soviet Union after the Germans invaded just after he graduated from Kyiv university and was captured, spending 2 years in the “Khorol pit” prisoner camp before escaping and going straight back to the front line and fighting all the way to Germany.

His bravery is undeniable and many young men, even today with our concept of younger generations being soft would still easily be propagandised to fight and die for queen and country against people that without massive states playing power politics would never have a problem with each other.

This brings us to the Ukraine today. After years of western involvement in Eastern Europe ringing Russia with allies armed with “defensive” anti ballistic missile installations that can be used for incoming missile defence or instantly be loaded with nuclear tipped tomahawk cruise missiles, the MK41 missile launcher.

Now with a limited response from the Russian federation, western media war hawks are trying to put into our minds that Putin is somehow the aggressor and are banging the war drum yet again.

To us, Putin is a tyrant, he suppresses opposition in horrendous fashion and if we lived under his rule we would be fighting peacefully against his regime.

But we don’t live under his regime, we live under ours and it’s our regime that wants to play it’s war games around the world, sending more young men and women to die for the hubris of politicians empire mentality.

We need to always show that peace is the only answer and remind people of the brutal reality of war because it’s very easy for people to think it’s fine to use violence against states we disagree with, when they have no concept of its consequences.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war. In April 1945, 2nd Lt. Peter During was a South African fighter pilot (N.7 Squadron) running missions over Italy when his Spitfire was shot down by German AA fire. He managed to crash land his plane behind enemy lines where he was immediately captured. Whilst been escorted to a German Lufwaffe Prisoner of War (POW) camp (he was a pilot and thus his interrogation and imprisonment was the responsibility of the German airforce), he opened a conversation with his captors. He was quickly able to establish that they could already see the writing on the wall, that the war was at an end and Germany would lose it. ...

French woman accused of sleeping with Germans during the occupation has her head shaved by vindictive neighbors in village near Marseilles.

French woman accused of sleeping with Germans during the occupation has her head shaved by vindictive neighbors in village near Marseilles. Antony Beevor wrote: "... In Paris, there were cases of prostitutes kicked to death for having accepted German soldiers as clients. (...) A large number of the victims were prostitutes who had simply plied their trade with Germans as well as Frenchmen, although in some areas it was accepted that their conduct was professional rather than political, others were silly teenagers who had associated with German soldiers out of bravado or boredom. In a number of cases, female schoolteachers who, living alone, had German soldiers billeted on them, were falsely denounced for having been a "mattress for the boches. (...) Women accused of having had an abortion were also assumed to have consorted with Germans. Many victims were young mothers, whose husbands were in German prisoner-of-war camps. During the war, they often had no means of supp...

The Nazis assassinate Austrian Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss in a failed coup attempt.

The Nazis assassinate Austrian Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss in a failed coup attempt. Engelbert Dollfuß (4 October 1892 – 25 July 1934) was an Austrian Fatherland Front politician who served as Chancellor of Austria between 1932 and 1934. Having served as Minister for Forests and Agriculture, he ascended to Federal Chancellor in 1932 in the midst of a crisis for the conservative government. In early 1933, the so called "Selbstausschaltung des Parlaments" happened, which made the Austrian parliament unable to govern. Suppressing the Socialist movement in February 1934 during the Austrian Civil War and later banning the Austrian Nazi Party, he cemented the rule of authoritarian conservatism through the First of May Constitution. Dollfuss was assassinated on 25 July 1934 by a group of Austrian Nazis, who entered the Chancellery building and shot him in an attempted coup d'état. During mass trials which took place after the coup, Hudl was sentenced to li...
