Harry W. O. Kinnard, Who Said One Word Would Do, Dies at 93. GERMAN INVASION OF POLAND DURING WW2. A certain amount of war-time German propaganda has become accepted as fact by both the media and some historians.
These tall tales have been repeated over and over in various texts and articles, despite the fact that the truth is well known. Polish Horse Cavalry Charges German Tanks The most infamous of these tales are reports of the anachronistic Polish Cavalry being slaughtered after making brave yet foolhardy charges against German tanks. This did not happen. The Poles were well acquainted with tanks. It is interesting to note that the Polish armoured force was larger, and in some respects more modern, than the tank units of the United States Army of the time. Poland, being a country still recovering from the ravages inflicted upon it by 123 years of foreign occupation and the recent First World War, had very little money to spend on defense. Hollywood and television have swamped us with images of WW2 battles fought by tanks and swift mechanized units. Poland Did Not Deserve to Exist. Somalia — Is That Really All You Got? Rachel Maddow, a popular liberal commentator on MSNBC, recently iterated — for the umpteenth time — the standard liberal talking point of Somalia as a supposedly unanswerable argument against anarchy.
The Somalia reference, when done according to formula, comes as the follow-up to a one-two punch – usually preceded by the “drown government in a bathtub” quote from Grover Norquist. Following a snarky allusion to the idealized “small-government conservative” vision of society (“which, you know, when you put it that way, it sounds kind of bucolic and awesome, right?”) , Maddow went in for the kill: “When you see it in action in a country that hasn‘t had a government in about 18 years, it actually looks like this. This is Somalia.” But this is dirty pool for several reasons. What most of us want to do is reverse the centuries-long process Kropotkin described, by building alternative social institutions, organized on a voluntary cooperative basis, to supplant the state.
70th Anniversary Of Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor Treason. By Dennis Constant December 7th, 2011, marks the 70th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the "date which will live in infamy," and, as research has shown, Pres.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's treason in provoking Japan into attacking our Pacific fleet. Facts relating to the attack have trickled out steadily but slowly -- so slowly that in the 70 years following the event, public outrage against the deceit and treason of President Roosevelt and his advisors never gained momentum. By 2011, several generations of Americans had lived and died. The collective memory of Americans had moved beyond this point in history, and few Americans grasped the big picture. Backing Japan Into a Corner. By Jonathan Goodwin Bionic Mosquito Freedom Betrayed, by Herbert Hoover …as Japan was the direct route by which the United States entered the war it is necessary to examine the major actions during this period which brought about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
FDR provoked the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It has long been suspected that there was advanced knowledge of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that was not properly given to commanders at Pearl Harbor, information that could have prevented the attack or let the American forces be more prepared.
This is a complex situation. There are two primary issues at hand: 1)Was the attack on Pearl Harbor provoked? Pearl Harbor - StumbleUpon. ORIGINAL PEARL HARBOR PHOTOS Never seen these before----must be somebody 's private pictures they saved all this time.

"Military experts are well aware how precious the technological information of this drone is," said Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Aerospace Forces, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency. There was disagreement among Pentagon officials about whether the drone in the video is real.
One U.S. official said right now the U.S. can't be certain it's the real stealth drone, because U.S. personnel don't have access to it. Shirt and Tie Combinations - Mens Shirt and Tie Combos.

Nazi Invasion? - World War II Zone Forums. Harry Truman and the Atomic Bomb - Ralph Raico. The most spectacular episode of Harry Truman's presidency will never be forgotten but will be forever linked to his name: the atomic bombings of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and of Nagasaki three days later. Probably around two hundred thousand persons were killed in the attacks and through radiation poisoning; the vast majority were civilians, including several thousand Korean workers.
Twelve US Navy fliers incarcerated in a Hiroshima jail were also among the dead.[1] Great controversy has always surrounded the bombings. One thing Truman insisted on from the start was that the decision to use the bombs, and the responsibility it entailed, was his. Over the years, he gave different, and contradictory, grounds for his decision. If World War Two Was A Bar Fight. *Interpretation taken from the Canadian military forum at Army.ca. Thanks boys! Still sore from the night before, Germany has had one too many pints. It is sucking up to Russia, deciding it doesn’t want to pay for the drinks that France insists it owes. They then drunkenly shout out that Austria is its brother, man, and Italy is their long time best friend. Sauced now and belligerent, Germany is glaring angrily about the bar.
With nothing better to do, Germany challenges Soviet Russia to an arm wrestling match at the Spanish table, while Japan was in the back room whacking China with a pool cue. Armwrestling over, Germany goes to the bar again and orders another pint and one for Austria. Interactive Maps. Militaria Archive of World War 2 & related German photograph albums. Photos of War.
