The pat on the shoulder for thanking him for saving his life is how it works. We are in war and don't have time for commendations but that simple gesture imbues all the confidence he ever needs to continue

[@memirandawong]

There's a video of Normandy on D-Day 1944 in the British sector, where a soldier pats the man in front of him on the back when just moments from disembarking on the beach, in a gesture of confidence, the guy turns around briefly and nods. That pat on the back was probably all he needed at that exact time.

[@ericericson3535]

I think the best line about Nazism was from Brian Cox playing Hermann Goering at the Nuremburg trials, when asked if anyone stood up to Hitler, he answered, "Yes, but do you see any of them here?"

[@antonioacevedo5200]

I saw "Nuremberg", but do not remember that line. What I remember most about the film was Goering's dialogue with the psychiatrist Gilbert. Gilbert mentions to Goering the Nazi antisemitic laws and Goering counters with the Jim Crow laws in America. It was a fascinating dialogue. I wonder if such an exchange occurred in real life.

[@andrewbauer6136]

@@antonioacevedo5200 I saw an interview with the man who actually interviewed him or prosecuted him I can't remember. He said Goering was one of the smartest people he had ever met. The reason he was so ineffective was his opium addiction from his injuries he sustained during WW1. When he was in prison after the war they stopped giving him opium and he stopped affecting his mind. He then became the very charismatic figure you saw during the trial. They said it was a mistake to help him with his addiction.

It's easier for some to develop twisted conjectures (And conjecture is the PERFECT word to describe it) than to adjust their beliefs and ethics to the truth. Crazy world we live in. People intentionally avoid facts for what is most convenient, and its disgusting. Fuck these ignorassholes thinking that their delusional ideas in their make believe world of falsehoods is the gospel truth in a real world dictated by facts, logic, and evidence. Ww2 is such a weird subject, because there's nothing about it that's black and white (except for the photos 😉), yet people find an abundance of controversies to harp on that just don't make any sense to me as someone who knows a lot about the topic. There is no controversy to be had, at least not large scale. Holocaust deniers are honestly some of the most hideously ignorant people I've ever met. They aren't necessarily evil, because they aren't justifying the Holocaust (Most at least), they're just saying it didn't happen. Still, it takes a pretty pathetic and stupid individual to deny all of the evidence and chalk it up to propaganda, fabrication, and lies. I'll never understand that, and I'm someone who believes a lot of conspiracy theories (Mostly because I'm educated on a lot of things and understand why certain things are painted by the corrupt political media as "conspiracies" even though they're true), but I'd NEVER have the audacity or disrespect, to claim that one of the worst genocides in human history during the deadliest conflict in human history, both started by the same man, didn't happen. Fuck that, and fuck this comment section thinking they're all witty and edgy with their ridiculous comments. Stay strong and hold the truth above everything.

It's especially terrible when other countries aren't simply allowed to invade their neighbors without consequence.

[@hydra7427]

The problem is that wars are the inevitable resolution of international political intransigence. Trying to appease and appease just to avoid a war is exactly how WW2 happened. The UK and French would have been much better off facing Hitler immediately in 1938, but instead they thought wars were best avoided. If you cannot handle the misery of war, then you cannot handle the misery of existence. Same situation in something like Ukraine. The West could have stood up to Putin in 2014. Hell, in 2008. But instead they decided to let Russia grow in strength, and now we have a quagmire that will likely spark the very thing that everyone hoped to avoid by pretending it would go away.

American superfortresses started using Lake Biwa northeast of Hiroshima as a coastal rendezvous point towards the end of the War. The city's air raid sirens had been sounding false alarms almost every night for weeks. Hiroshima and Kyoto were the only important Japanese cities that hadn't been visited in strength by "Mr B" (America's B-29 bombers). Hiroshima was reserved for a special demonstration and the people waited anxiously. B-29s had started making regular reconnaissance flights and the "yellow-alert" siren had become a morning routine. On the night of 5 August 1945, Hiroshima’s sirens wailed as two hundred B-29s approached the city from the south. People evacuated to their “safe areas” and waited for the napalm firestorm. The terror bombers roared overhead and then passed on heading north. People returned home but another warning wailed soon after midnight. The yellow alert sounded around 7:00 and the all-clear followed as an American reconnaissance plane approached from the south. People headed to work and thousands of school children gathered for morning work details helping to clear fire breaks in the lanes and streets. A lone B-29 passed high overhead at 8:15 and detonated a uranium bomb 1900 feet above the city. Two hundred thousand people were burned, blinded, disembowelled, irradiated and buried in rubble as the city crumbled beneath the nuclear flash, blast and shock waves. A turbulent column of heat, dust and ash rose miles into the sky shrouding the city in darkness. Neighbourhoods and streets were transformed into an unrecognisable wasteland of total destruction. Dazed survivors scrambled over mounds of wreckage and muffled voices screamed from the rubble. Tens of thousands descended on the city’s hospitals and the few remaining medical staff were overwhelmed. ‘More than 80 per cent of the city's doctors and nurses were killed in the explosion, their hospitals levelled or severely damaged. There were few medicines or painkillers. The shockwave tore through the Red Cross Hospital: ceilings and partitions collapsed; windows blew in, showering everyone with glass ... patients ran about screaming.’ Paul Ham, Hiroshima Nagasaki, 371 Ragged, gruesomely injured people filled hospital corridors and crowded the streets where many were vomiting from radiation sickness. Scattered fires grew into a conflagration and the hot air swirled with burning showers of cinders. Panic gripped the city and people herded into the corpse-filled estuarial rivers. Others fled to the blackened parks and huddled alongside the dying as they moaned, "Mizu! Mizu! - Water! Water!” Black radioactive rain fell from the mushroom cloud. Three days later, Mr B detonated a plutonium bomb above the Urakami Christian district of Nagasaki. America was now a nuclear power that ruled the sky and the world was shocked and awed. Britain handed leadership of the global capitalist system to America at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944 and British imperial sterling was superseded by a truly international world reserve dollar regulated by the IMF and World Bank. Bankrupt Allies, West Germany and Japan fixed the exchange rates of their currencies relative to the US dollar which, in turn, was backed by a mountain of gold. US dollars were then shipped overseas as part of the Marshal Plan funding postwar reconstruction in the shadow of the Cold War. The Soviet Union became a nuclear power in 1949 and, by 1955, both the US and USSR had detonated a hydrogen bomb. Atomic bombs release energy through nuclear fission but thermonuclear weapons are driven by fusion reactions: the process that powers the sun. Hydrogen bombs can produce large multimegaton yields thousands of times more powerful than the "Little Boy" Hiroshima bomb and now represent the prevalent type... America built the first nuclear weapons during World War II and used them against Japan. Today, several nations are nuclear-armed including North Korea, Pakistan, Israel and soon perhaps Iran. The distinctive mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion lifts fine particles of dust and ash high into the stratosphere blocking light and reddening the rising and setting of the sun. As well as radioactive darkness, a thermonuclear war would also produce huge volumes of ozone-destroying nitric oxide further lowering global temperatures and plunging the planet into an extended nuclear winter.

I read books about the Battle of Berlin and even saw pictures of this long battle to end the war, with the amount of casualties the Russian's had Im completely surprised and shocked the fact that Russia did not ask for a cease fire or retreated to the outskirts of the city and starved them to surrender. The Germans fought smart and made the Russians miserable to gain one foot of ground, but even overwhelming numbers of the Russian's were too much.

[@васяпетров-з9ь]

The Soviets had a deadline to take Berlin by the 1st of May and Stalin forced this deadline on his generals. It was effectively a rush job there high amount of casulties were accepted as long as they managed to take the city before the deadline. It was really not an option to make the battle more drawn out in favor of less casulties because of it.

Germans got all the way to their capital, and both sides committed many an atrocity to breach the heart of their respective enemy.

[@dashdigitalproductions]

Some but very few did, there was an attempted breakout toward the end of the battle by several groups and a fraction did manage to surrender to western allies. There was also a last ditch german attack outside the city from Wenk in order to break the encirclement of the 9th army, open a corridor and allow them to surrender to the americans as well
