The implication that a wave implies tolerance and acceptance is incorrect. Hitler refused to shake hands with any athletes that weren't German. If the implication was that the German people and Europeans were more accepting, then absolutely. Hitler, not a chance.

I don't remember saying that it did.

And again, I'm not Jesse Owens.

My great-grandfather died at the hands of a German U-boat.

The same U-boat was later found by a Cuban Submarine chaser, which was the smallest vessel in WW2 to sink a U-boat.

With D-Day's 80th Anniversary in five days and the contemporary difficulties the JLOTS "pier" is having in Gaza, the story of the Mulberry Harbors used to supply the Allies in the tenuous first months of the invasion, their difficulties (like JLOTS) with adverse weather, and their key contribution to victory needs to be re-told:

Imagine being in that boat approaching the beach in 6-8 feet waves sea water flooding with machine gun bullets by the thousands banging off the metal with massive explosions around you your brothers vomiting scared screaming body parts flying in the air from other boats explosions
You hear captain say 2 minutes 2 minutes knowing ***** DEATH is about to hit.

Oh almost forgot,

JUST SHARING

The other day a friend at work brought in his grandfather’s Purple Heart .💜 medal.

Never held or saw one up close, when you hold it and feel it you go to a quiet place knowing a hero paid and suffered greatly.

His father was shot multiple times and never walked normally again scared up and down both legs bent terribly I was told .

Weeks later I still feel that Purple Heart 💜 in my hand.

I never want to lose that feeling EVER

Disturbing images show how Chinese civilians and allied POWs were dissected alive and infected with the plague

The effects of various remedies were tested on their frostbitten limbs, which were also painfully heated up by the sick surgeons as they tested the effects on victims

Shiro Ishii was a charismatic surgeon and ultra-nationalist who is considered the architect of the now notorious death camp's atrocities

Inmates also had limbs amputated and organs removed before the depraved surgeons reattached their body parts - often in the wrong place - to see the effects.
Enough germs were created to kill everyone on earth many times over, according to reports, with 300 kilos of plague bacteria were produced every month, 500 kilos of anthrax, and nearly a tonne of dysentery and cholera.

Children were fed chocolates laced with anthrax and biscuits infected with plague, while older inmates were given typhoid-infected dumplings and drinks.

Soviet forces invaded the former Manchuria in August, and Unit 731's staff retreated back to Japan, with many never revealing their crimes and going on to enjoy relatively normal lives. General Okamura, a friend of Ishii, proudly noted in his memoirs 'I did not know the details of the medical advances he made, but after the war Ishii told me that his work produced more than 200 patents.'

When the extent of what happened there was finally unearthed, the Americans helped to cover up the program in exchange for some of its data.

Different breed of people back then.... There's a lot to learn from what those men went through.... Thankfully there's still people who really respect what they did and what it's done for the freedoms we have today...

How Russian researcher 'brought a decapitated dog's head back to life'

In the early 20th century, scientific strides into the unknown could show humanity at its best. But without the constraints of modern ethics, they could also show us at our worst

My first reaction was , Is playing God really worth it???? But as sick as this is there's things that probably came from it that have in some way shaped some of the things in modern medicine today.... And after writing that I feel weird knowing I made an attempt to rationalize some thing this sick....
