Germanyโs culture ministry mistakenly marked the recent anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising by posting a photo on social media that actually comes from the separate Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and which is considered an example of Nazi propaganda.

That happens briefly only once every few years and sees the plant emit an odour of rotting flesh designed to attract insects.
"The UK is not a Muslim country. There are approx 50 Muslim countries. Those who want to uphold their faith should simply remigrate back to those countries. It does not belong here"
I am interested in whether GB News platforming this call for all Muslims to leave would breach Ofcom rules or not
Among those who fought against Nazi Germany in the Warsaw Uprising was a platoon of deaf people
The daughter of one veteran has called for the unit to be better commemorated, including by finally being added to the exhibition at the Warsaw Rising Museum.
Each year, the city of Warsaw stops for a moment of silence to commemorate the Warsaw Uprising.

Alright then, before this totally runs out of steam/becomes too tedious even for me:
1 like = one opinion about the Second World War
14% of Slovaks would consider joining Russia, says poll.
Probably something to take seriously but not literally, as the TA3 commentator suggests.
Hard to imagine that any but wildest extremes would want it, through radical right Slovak National Party refused to comment
