On the photos – the first days of German occupation of Lviv, Ukraine. The Germans came to the city in June, 30th, 1941. On the same day the party of Bandera proclaimed creation of the independant Ukrainian state. Though the Germans did not support this idea, the people were happy and celebrated in the streets for 3 days. The Germans together with Bandera’s “Ukrainian people’s police” arranged a so-called action of “self-purification”. In fact it was a Jewish violence and revenge to Bolsheviks from the side of the people who had been humiliated by them and to whom the valiant German army brought freedom…
People were beaten with stones, drubbed, women were made to undress in public, forced to clean sidewalks, march on knees with their hands up, some people were shot in the backyards. The total number of victims – 4-7 thousand people.

In one of the lighter moments of World War Two, the Spitfire fighter aircraft (photo) was used in an unorthodox role: bringing beer to the men in Normandy.
During the War, the Heneger & Constable brewery donated free beer to the troops. After D-Day, supplying the invasion troops in Normandy with vital supplies was already a challenge. Obviously, there was no room in the logistics chain for such luxuries as beer or other types of refreshments. Some men, often called “sourcers”, were able to get wine or other niceties “from the land” or rather from the locals.
RAF Spitfire pilots came up with an even better idea. The Spitfire Mk IX was an evolved version of the Spitfire, with pylons under the wings for bombs or tanks. It was discovered that the bomb pylons could also be modified to carry beer kegs. According to pictures that can be found, various sizes of kegs were used. Whether the kegs could be jettisoned in case of emergency is unknown. If the Spitfire flew high enough, the cold air at altitude would even refresh the beer, making it ready for consumption upon arrival.
A variation of this was a long range fuel tank modified to carry beer instead of fuel. The modification even received the official designation Mod XXX. Propaganda services were quick to pick up on this, which probably explains the “official” designation.

Meet Captain Nieves Fernandez, the only known Filipino female guerrilla leader and school teacher. When the Japanese came to take the children under her care she shot them. She didn’t hide in a closet, she didn’t put up a gun free zone sign, she shot them in the face with her latong (a home made shotgun).
She then went on to kill over 200 Japanese soldiers during the war with a group of commandos and holds the distinction as the only female commander of a resistance group in the Philippines.
In this photo she is showing U.S. Army Pvt. Andrew Lupiba how she used her bolo to silently kill Japanese sentries during the occupation of Leyte Island.

Red Army officers look at the bodies of villagers tortured and murdered by the retreating Germans in Gatchina, Krasnogvardeisk region, Jan 1944. As usual, women and children haven't been spared. Such atrocities boggle the mind even after all these years. What was the evil doing of these poor souls that attracted such brutal reprisals?

Very rare 5 VS (Versuchs Schnellboot) experimental semi submersible torpedo. I confess to 've never seen it before..


The VS-5 was one of many experimental fast torpedo boats. Many of them were hydrofoils and others were designed as semi-submersibles. It was called the Versuchs Schnellboot. It was supposed to have a 20mm cannon and two 21 inch torpedo tubes. There is little information beyond this prototype.

Kummatkin on tosiaan aivan h*lvetin hyviä kirjoja Vietnamin sodan ilmasotatoimista lentäjän näkövinkkelistä kerrottuna. Oli myös toimittamassa Robin Oldsin muistelmia. Ed Rasimus siirtyi Varjolaivueeseen talvella 2013. :(

Jep. Kovat elämäntavat taisivat edesauttaa tuota. Sukunimi "Rasimus" viittaa muuten erittäin paljon Suomeen. Nopealla Google-haulla tulee pelkkiä suomenkielisiä hakutuloksia.
EDIT:http://www.tuomas.salste.net/suku/nimi/rasimus.html Suomestahan se :)
 
Kun toinen kirja ilmestyi suomeksi, olisi olettanut kustantajan mainostavan asiaa, jos sukulaisia Suomesta olisi löytynyt.
Ehkäpä koko perhe on muuttanut 1800-luvulla pois? Ken tietää. Itse olen lukenut englanniksi kummatkin kirjat.
