5 FEBRUARY 1945 - DRIVE ON THE ROER DAMS BEGINS #WWII
After winning the Battle of the Bulge, the U.S. Army began advancing towards Germany across several of region’s major rivers, most of which had dams that needed to be captured to prevent the enemy from causing major flooding.

LTG William Simpon’s 9th Army planned Operation GRENADE to cross the Roer River and link up with Allied forces advancing from Holland, while LTG Courtney Hodges’ 1st Army used the 78th ID to secure the Schwammenauel Dam, supported by elements of the 82d ABD and the 7th AD.
Jumping off early in the morning of 5 FEB, American soldiers attacked into the Hurtgen Forest for the first time since DEC 1944. Although its progress was hampered by rough terrain and dense forests, the 78th Division made steady, if slow, progress.

#Armyhistory #USArmy #TRADOC #WW2
On Bataan, the combined forces under the command of GEN Douglas MacArthur fought a fierce delaying action beginning on 7 Jan. The Japanese attack was halted initially, but it was reinforced over the following three months, slowly rolling back U.S./Philippine defenses.
During the brutal fighting for control of the peninsula, American and Filipino soldiers endured intense privation, holding out under increasingly impossible odds until the inexorable weight of the enemy forced their surrender on 9 Apr. 1942.

#WorldWar2 ended 77 years ago, why do we see endless #WarFilms & #War #Documentaries from that time?
Could it be because this was the last war #Britain & the #USA fought, where we were the #GoodGuys.
We've fought plenty of wars since then. #JulianAssange's fate shows ...

The forgotten starvation of the ordinary: Bengal Famine during the British regime.
One of the worst phenomena of Indian history is the Bengal Famine. Lasting one year(1943-1944), it has cost over three million deaths & couple million more pushed into poverty.

Thread 🧵
Many researchers disagree with Britten's explanation of this famine. Their study shows that this atrocity is caused by the barbaric policies of Winston Churchill, the prime minister of Britten at that time.
To this day, London has noted the causes of the famine as weather conditions and food shortage - indirectly claiming it was an inevitable catastrophe.

The Gurkhas played an essential role in establishing the British Raj in India and fought for the British in Afghanistan, what was then Burma, Tibet and in countless other conflicts.

81 years ago today 8th november 1939, Georg Elser failed with his bomb attack on Adolf Hitler and his closest comrades, as Hitler remembered the 16th year anniversary of the Munich beer Hall revolt that he led in 1923.
On November 8, 1939, there were around 1,500 to 2,000 listeners in Munich's Bürgerbräukeller, and according to other sources even 3,000, including a large part of the Nazi leadership, to commemorate the 1923 Hitler coup. The rulers sat tightly packed in front of Hitler's lectern.
Because Hitler's planned return flight to Berlin was canceled due to fog and he had to switch to a special train instead, he ended his stay in the Bürgerbräukeller earlier than expected by Elser.

In an air raid on the warship "Lützow" in 1942, a 5400-kilo aerial bomb "Tallboy" remained lying on the bottom of the Baltic Sea as a dud. After a year of planning, a team of experts is now working on the highly complicated mitigation.

It is one of the largest missions in Europe.

In #Atlantis, priestesses of the Goddess were gathering in circles of twelve to anchor the energy of peace and harmony.
They were called the #SisterhoodOfTheRose.
They later reemerged in ancient #Egypt as priestesses of Isis, with rose being a sacred symbol of the #GoddessIsis.
In the time of Crusades, Sisterhood of the Rose was the feminine counterpart to the #Templars.

During #WorldWar2, they tried to influence some of the top #Nazis, sometimes successfully persuading them to more peaceful ways, and thus saving many lives.

If what the Polish MP Arkadiusz Mularczyk recently announced is true, then the bill is ready. Shortly before the 75th anniversary of the end of the war on May 8,
the politician informed the government party Law and Justice (PiS) that the committee he led, set up in 2017 to determine the war damage caused by Nazi Germany in World War II, had ended its work. For the time being, however, the report will be kept under wraps -
and thus also the amount that Poland could demand from Germany. "There's still a good time for that," said Mularczyk at the time. If Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) visits Warsaw this Tuesday, this reparation question, which Poland has left open,

As a young man, Youssif Ali regularly travelled between India and London aboard merchant ships. After meeting and marrying Ethel Emma Wallace in London during the late 1920s, he no longer travelled. Instead he became a Court interpreter for Indian seaman apprehended for various..
misdemeanours. He also worked as a doorman, dressed in full colonial style regalia with an elaborate turban at the Veeraswamy Restaurant in Piccadilly, London. A job from which he was later sacked when a photograph in a newspaper identified him amongst a crowd surrounding...
Watching @UKParliament statement from @MattHancock.
Very glad to see collegiate approach from @JonAshworth & @MattHancock and great to see thanks to the Paymaster General, @NazShahBfd, @wesstreeting, @SayeedaWarsi, @BoardofDeputies the concerns on forced cremation have been met.

I'm concerned MPs who due to the outdated voting system are putting their health at risk as they need to scrutinise the #CoronavirusBillUK but should have been able to scrutinise this virtually. /1
I'm worried for all those there and think its mad that @MattHancock who looks ill is having to deal with people like @SteveBakerHW and @CarolineLucas who are being so rude to @MattHancock and the other MPs. /2

#OTD in 1945, #Tokyo sued for peace and free nations celebrated: #WorldWar2 was over. Emperor Hirohito told his people they should “endure the unendurable and suffer the insufferable” after 8 years of war. #VJDay #WWII #threadtweet
#VJDay - Victory over Japan on Aug 15 1945- came as the #RoyalNavy prepared for the final invasion of the home islands alongside the Americans: Operation Downfall. Allied casualties were predicted to be at least 200,000 killed and wounded. #WWII #treadtweet
The British Pacific Fleet was the mightiest force ever mustered by the #RoyalNavy outside home water: 5 battleships, 33 fleet, light and escort carriers, 23 cruisers, nearly 80 destroyers, 43 submarines and scores of minesweepers, sloops, auxiliaries & escorts. #VJDay #treadtweet
