MSG is legendary. Of course. There's also something to be said for watching the boys while standing at the top of Forest Hills with Manhattan as my backdrop. #phish

On the 81st anniversary of Stalingrad I'd like to recommend this wonderful book if you're looking to understand more about why the airlift failed and more importantly...the faulty logic that led up to it.

Very sad. This disaster could affect harvests for years to come.

Thanks Pete. Haven't seen this

Sadly...yes

Excellent news

A short thread on the Munster Raid of 10 October 1943 and the portrayal of it by MOTA. The show clearly states (at 11.30) the aiming point and MPI is the marshalling yard in the town. You can see it bottom centre in this clear weather picture from the day of the raid.

800 000 Geschosse für die Ukraine: Tschechen-Präsident schafft Munitions-Wunder Mehrere Länder, darunter auch Deutschland, zahlen insgesamt 1,5 Milliarden Euro.

Czech Republic President Petr Pavel announced the delivery of 800,000 rounds of 155/122-mm artillery ammunition to Ukraine, worth €1.5 billion.

“If there are no fundamental problems, the ammunition could reach Ukraine within a few weeks,” he said.

Very disconcerting

On 28 October 1943 46 RTR's attack, supporting 38th Irish Bde, was postponed for 48 hrs because the ground was unsuitable as a result of days of heavy rain. 50 RTR reported that "the whole area was now like a morass". Both wheels and tracks struggled; in places only mules were able to get through.

A great pic in the link I just posted

B1 Bis BOURRASQUE (No 257) of the 1ere Company, 15e BCC, 2e DCR, after taking on elements of Panzer Regiment 1, outside Mortiers on 17 May 1940. Clearly seen is the Blue Heart card suit turret marking, denoting a 2e Company tank, within 1ere Platoon.

Hamas claims more than 50 have been killed in the airstrikes already. Might be a lie...but it wouldn't be surprising.

Cheers Jim!

Haha. Definitely a different place

1921 Buick ad saying that a trip from San Fransisco to Eugene that's 29h 16min

Think 29h 16m from San Fransisco, CA to Eugene, OR is fast? This 1921 Buick ad thought so. 44mins faster than the train!

100 years later, the same car trip takes 8 hours.
