ang mali lang talaga ng allied forces after the war dapat di nila hinayaan ang soviet union mag hari dapat lahat ng sinakop na bansa ng soviet union ibinalik nila after the war. pagkatapos magpadala ng logistics ang us sa russia nung operation barbarossa the allied forces should have never dealt with a tyrant, thief like stalin that guy is a monster a butcher. she even killed her own wife and even attended her funeral.:-o
was the united states goverment or FDR aware of the atrocities committed by stalin in russia before world war 2 started!?

but they'd all come close to bombing the [gooey brown stuff] out of each other.
in ako dito sa thread - i'm deeply interested in world war history, especially the pacific theatre between the japs and murrikans
as far as collections go, i'm a plane kinda guy - up until recently i'd kept a collection of various nato and warsaw pact planes, i prefer those from the 50's-70's planes which i think are far more graceful in terms of design.

could've been staged to protect the identity of the seals OR outright silenced. but i don't understand why they need to be silenced, pride ni Uncle Sam that her SEALS killed who's probably the most wanted man in history. they won't be of much use dead anyways.
dun sa chic naman sa CIA, well, if you a bitch then prolly the boss won't hand you a promotion. :)

Interesting video from the US military back on world war II showing Bonifacio Monumento circa 1945. Place was called Grace Park way back then, entrance to the City of Manila. Caloocan is my hometown am fascinated this piece of monument has been preserve, in my research this was erected 1933?
Great source of films in how the City of Manila was taken, my dad at that time was 18 years old and told the story that many civilians died in there scattered all over Manila. He even witnessed how a Japanese soldier was captured and beaten up and buried alive by angry civilians.
I found a website ( http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/wwii/articles/macarthursfailures.aspx ) (http://www.pacificwar.org.au/Philippines/Philoverview.html) on some interesting arguments why given the fact The Philippines was attacked 9 hrs later Pearl Harbor and caught off guard not because of they where unprepared but the indecisiveness of McArthur. They where informed of the attacked and given instructions but almost immobilized because of failure of decision from the top.

Warriors of the White War emerge from their frozen tomb: Almost 100 years after losing their lives in ferocious First World War battle, melting ice reveals the bodies of the fallen
The mummified bodies of soldiers who fell in the First World War 100 years ago are still being uncovered as glaciers melt - and experts say there could be many more to come.
Corpses emerge every time there is a hot summer in Trentino, a rugged part of the Italian Alps where countless men were shot, starved or froze to death in a three-year campaign.
Whenever the gruesome finds appear, archaeologists must act within hours - because not only do the bodies decompose, they are also looted by opportunistic thieves.

German soldier's kindness denied Tommy war grave
A dying soldier's last wish for a photo he was found holding to be returned to his family was fulfilled by the German who killed him, as personal stories marking the centenary of World War One emerge. Sergeant Percy Buck clutched the black and white photo of his wife Bertha and young son Cyril as he lay fatally wounded in a shell hole on the Western Front in 1917. On the back, he had written his address and asked for whoever found the photo to post it to his loved ones in the event of his death.

assembled kits from other countries were also done here - GkN Simbas are a prime example which is still in army use. the Temco Pinto trainer was also supposed to be assembled here, which would've made it the first assembled jet trainer here.

How Hitler's photographer returned to Dachau concentration camp to take series of chilling images five years after those who survived torture and death at the hands of the Nazis were set free
Even though they were taken in color, the images of Dachau concentration camp, where tens of thousands were imprisoned and killed by the Nazis, appear bleak and foreboding.
What is even more chilling than the sight of drainage ditches to catch the blood of victims, or the images of gas chambers, is that the man behind the camera in 1950 was Hugo Jaeger - one of Hitler's personal photographers.

MacArthur made him renounce the imperial claim of divinity but kept him in place because he figured Japan will collapse if Hirohito was booted out. Pero oo, grabe yung topic ng comfort women. But as soldiers, I greatly admired their courage and determination.
I agree with Mozart - none of Japan's war plans would've been fulfilled without the consent of the Emperor.

Family of man who died in World War I opens 98-year-old time capsule
Pvt. Edward Ambrose died while fighting in the Great War in 1916. His distraught family was unable to look at the belongings found in his leather case, which was shipped to them, and after being nearly forgotten for 98 years, Ambrose’s 82-year-old nephew finally saw what the time capsule contained.
A moving time capsule containing the last belongings of a dead soldier his family couldn't bring themselves to look at has been found in an attic after 98 years.
The possessions of Pvt. Edward Ambrose were sent home from the Western Front to his devastated parents after he was killed at the Somme.
Too painful to look at, the poignant items were shut into a leather case and put into storage where they remained for almost a century.
The case has now been opened by Pvt. Ambrose's 82-year-old nephew, who recovered it after reading about an appeal for untold stories for a local World War I exhibition.

Mystery of the underwater time capsule is solved: Perfectly preserved Nazi plane is identified as troop carrier on its way to hell of the Eastern Front
A belt buckle bearing Nazi insignia, a shaving brush and a pair of boots were among items found within a sunken World War Two war plane which have helped to solve the mystery of its disappearance. The Luftwaffe plane was found at the bottom of the Black Sea by a team of divers nearly 70 years after it vanished mid-flight. The fate of the aircraft and its nine crew members had remained a mystery since it was reported missing in 1942. Underwater photographer Andrey Nekrasov, 42, was part of the team which found the wreckage 23 metres beneath the surface off the Ukrainian coast, near Odessa.

Inside Hitler's bunker: Photographs reveal the blood-stained furniture and debris inside the hideaway where Adolf and Eva Braun died after the fall of Berlin
These haunting images show the inside of the Führerbunker - the underground hideaway where Hitler and Eva Braun took their own lives after the fall of Berlin. The death of Adolf Hitler, then 56, and Eva Braun, 33, in the heart of Berlin on April 30, 1945, is widely regarded as the fall of the Third Reich. The couple lived the last few months of their lives together in the Führerbunker - with Hitler controlling his failing military operation from the base. They are even thought to have wed in the hideaway the day before their suicide

Revealed: How Nazi officers led by top general formed secret army AFTER the war and planned to overthrow Allies who occupied Germany
Nazi soldiers formed a secret army and plotted to attack the Allies who occupied Germany after the end of the Second World War, according to recently unearthed documents.
A group of 2,000 soldiers from Hitler's Wehrmacht, including senior SS officers, formed the covert group with the aim of restoring 'honour' to their homeland, which had been split into two states and ravaged by fighting.
The group spied on left-wing politicians, stockpiled weapons and planned to recruit 40,000 of its own soldiers to attack opposing forces, including the Soviets occupying East Germany, and the newly-formed republic in West Germany.

When film director George Stevens swapped the glamor of Hollywood for the horror of battle after America entered World War II, he brought with him his home-movie camera.
Stevens' film diary includes incredible color footage from his war days -- from the D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied France in 1944, to the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp Dachau. The Telegraph reports that after Stevens' death in 1975, his son George Stevens Jr. discovered the footage in his father's attic and used it in the Emmy award-winning documentary "George Stevens: D-Day to Berlin."

The successful 70-year campaign to convince people the USA and not the USSR beat Hitler
In 1945, most French people thought that the Soviet Union deserved the most credit for Nazi Germany's defeat in World War II — even though the Soviets didn't play much of a role in France's liberation, relative to the US and Britain. By 1995 and 2004, however, the French had changed their minds, and were crediting the US as the biggest contributor to victory in Europe:

Hitler's secret millions: Nazi leader dodged £1.75m in tax and even charged a royalty for his image to be used on stamps, new documentary claims
Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler squirrelled away a massive fortune using cash he had 'earned' from his image rights and personal appearances as well as his refusal to pay £1.75 million in income tax. The Fuhrer even levied a royalty on German stamps featuring his image, with the cash hidden in his secret bank accounts. The mystery surrounds a secret will discovered by Herman Rothman, a German Jew who operated with British intelligence during the Second World War.

^ hmm if he lived a quiet life in the US, considering all this time that had passed since Nazi Germany collapsed, do you think he should even be brought on trial?

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which sparks the start of World War 1.

like what happened to Adolf Eichmann.
what bothers me is why the Mossad, or other Nazi Hunters, willingly violate a nation's sovereignty to the former Nazis back to Israel. hindi ba dapat sa international court managot mga ganyan?

Sobrang astig nito! Lalo na yung mga WW2 shares.. Thinking about WW2 makes me want to witness and go back to history.. As in yung tipong pinapanood mo yung actual na nangyayari.
Any good sources to watch about WW2? Those that are highly recommended?

Some unit coins given to me by miltary buddies. The brass coin on the left was my design and is officially being used by one of the U.S. Navy's squadrons. Yeah, I'm very proud of that one.

^ because the F/A-18 is a development of the F-18, which was a competitor against the F-16 for lightweight fighters. it's simple and effective compared to 4.5/5th generation fighters. The YF-18 lost the USAF contest, but was taken in by the USN. Unlike the YF-32 and X-35, US DoD decided that their armed services are to use pretty much the same airframe, kaya lumaki ng lumaki budget

Thats because Israel does what it wants and doesnt care who he tramples or murders. I too am fascinated by these 2 world wars but i just came across the reasons why they happened and that is the real tragedy.
It felt like my brain was thumped out and placed in a blender. Nasty stuff those Jewish communist, double crossing bankers.
Im am now considering buying a Leica M6 just coz of Germany.
