Glad to see this! Imagine if Chesa Boudin, post-recall, had called out Jenkins like this too instead of quietly disappearing into academia.

Not that America should hold us up as a role model, of course.
England turned 250 in the second half of the 12th century (depending on how you define "England" as a country), when kings and barons were romping around slaughtering each other and the population with gay abandon.
Great Britain turned 250 in 1957, at which point we'd only just finally got past post-WW2 rationing and still possibly clung on to some delusions of being an Empire.
And the UK has another 26 years to go before we get to have a 250th birthday. Maybe we'll be doing good by then (but probably not).

The New World Order - #Hitler's Plans For After #WW2 | #HISTORY | #MilitaryTub |

just realized that i share a name with a weapon system (WW2-era Katyusha MLRS)

OK.. now this episode of "Tasting History" got me.
I've always been very interested in most historical periods. Ranging from the first organisms to 20th century.
One particular detail in history I always found fascinating was submarine warfare in WW1/WW2... including computer games.
In the early 2000s I was part of the "Pacific Thunder Campaigns" .. which was basically a bunch of "Silent Hunter I" gamers introducing multiplayer experience …

I love stories like this. If I could live life over again, I'd be a research historian to work on projects like this. The mural and the car fascinate me, and I wish there were a way to recover the mural. #WW2 #history

FWIW, it's pretty clear that the abuse of immigrants in the US and the abuse of Palestinians in Gaza/West Bank are copied elsewhere. I grew up (60's/70's) believing that these acts were wrong, and that the world had sort of learned it's lessons from WW2 horrors. It's distressing to realize how much I was taught in school was just plain wrong.

In Brazil, Volkswagen is once again being sued for its use of slave labor during the military dictatorship between 1974 - 1986. Looks like VW just exported the methods they had already pioneered during WW2 closer to home…

Oh, good grief. Banning "Calvin & Hobbes" books? This is what happens when people don't think critically and look at things out of context. "They Called Us Enemy?" Yeah, heaven forbid kids learn about #WW2 history. #TN

‘Magic Tree House’ Author, ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ among hundreds of Tennessee book bans - PEN America
The removals in Tennessee are the result of a growing political movement to control information through book banning.

TIL: es gab in #Berlin insbes. bis Ende WW2 ein beachtliches Rohrpostsystem. Ein Rohrpostamt befand sich z.B. am Brandenburger Tor. Laut einem Beitrag in der BZ vom 19.2.1949 brauchte eine Sendung für 12 km bei siebenmaligem Weiterleiten (von Station zu Station) 32 Minuten.
Wiki-Artikel:

What is the most important WWII memorial?
Americans: Normandy
The rest of the world: Auschwitz-Birkenau
This, likely, also explains the election of Donald Trump and the general shrug to his demolition of US democracy...
