1:08 Sad thing is that the only one to die in the defence of the castle was Josef Gangl, the German Major. He tackled one of the French prisoners to the ground so he wouldn't get shot, but Gangl took the shot instead.

[@equarg]

He lived long enough to become a hero. May he RIP. The damage from the fight was preserved on the castle in his memory.

The thing about the just following orders "excuse" is that a soldier that refuses orders could be SHOT. "Why did you put people into trains where they could be killed?" "Because if I didn't, I would be killed, and they'd be on the train anyway."

It was embarrassing to the Australians though.

Which Emu war? BTW, the Australians lost both... Of course it is Australia, so insane killer wildlife and plants. Not really surprising that mere humans got their posteriors kicked by animals in that godforsaken place. I`m more impressed that people can live there at all. Just the list of all the venomous and poisonous crap that lives there is terrifying... Poison Fire Coral Fungus, the Gympie Gympie plant, Blue Ringed Octopus, all the Spiders, the damn Snakes, including a snake called the DEATH ADDER and its not even the most venomous.

[@ZeusAmun-pt9dc]

Back then soap was a luxury and only the very rich could afford it whereas olive oil was plentiful and cheap hence the Romans using it instead. Now you have a true example of what is trickle down economics because today soap is a very cheap commodity and often given away for free to even homeless people. A modern day homeless person can enjoy the use of products that once was reserved for only the wealthy and royalty, that is trickle down economics not the lies that the 80's era Republican Party preached.

[@ebattleon]

That is not how economics works. Nice try though.

Why does everyone believe sun tze was a great strategist , he was neither ,he only put together the experiences of the generals who came back ,he never quit the palace and also 90% of the tactics revolve around having at least double the soldiers or run away (be like a rabbit 😂) . You want a strategist and tactician then read Scipio. He was at least able to beat enemies double the size of his army.

@@povyourescrollingthroughco3153 He is very famous Soviet-era actor Aleksei Smirnov. He was very famous for his earlier comedic roles. The last movie referenced is a dramatic movie with elements of comedy about Soviet pilots in World War II called "Only 'Old Men' Are Going Into Battle"" (Russian: В бой идут одни «старики»). The scene depicted is very dramatic. They are visiting a fiance of their fallen comrade to notify her of his death, but find her grave instead, as she was also pilot. The moment is an emotional reaction to what they would do after the war to honor all their fallen comrades. After the first trial take of this scene, Smirnov, being a real World War II veteran, said that if I have to make another my heart might stop, so director of the movie included this first take of emotionally impactful scene into final cut.

🫡 Respect to the Germans who teamed up with the Americans to protect the political prisoners and a tennis player from the SS. Only the German officer who sought the Americans help died to do a sniper. In his memory the Castle still has the damage on its walls. Also, kudos to the Tennis player who ran for help, came across a SS machine gun nest, stopped, picked mushrooms, took a piss, and kept running like it was no big deal (He got the required help and soon afterwards and returned). SS Machine Gunners: Halt! Who goes these!? *sees what looks like local picking mushrooms, and taking a piss*. SS Machine Gunner: 🤦🏻 Nein. I did not want to see that.
