Put em up

It's amazing how much we just invent after the fact

[Voices of WW2 @VoicesofWW2]

Here's something most people don't know about D-Day.

The Allies didn't just have to win on the beaches. They had to buy enough time for reinforcements before the Germans could concentrate their Panzer divisions.

The 2nd SS Panzer Division "Das Reich" was stationed in southern France on June 6. Ordered north, it should have reached Normandy in three days.

It took them two weeks.

French Resistance fighters sabotaged rail lines, cut phone cables, and ambushed convoys constantly. The division that should have hit the beaches while Americans were still dying in the surf instead arrived after the Allies had already secured the beachhead.

On June 10, Das Reich responded to the delays with the massacre at Oradour-sur-Glane.

The Resistance fighters who slowed them down almost certainly never knew how much they changed history. Most of them had no communication with high command at all.

They just kept cutting wires.

@BradRTorgersen The P-80 was worse than the Me-262 though, despite several years of development between the two

@SonOfUhGunn Ah, what race was she

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

If this is remotely true, it's incredibly demoralizing. 3 LAAD Battalions, all of them at home.

Image taken moments before the start of the “Ghosts of Zagros” mission, during the attack on Erbil in the Ramadan War.

In the early hours of 1 March, four Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) F-4E Phantom II aircraft from the 31st Fighter Squadron conducted a strike mission against Kurdish positions as well as U.S. forces stationed at Erbil Airport. Two of the Phantoms were assigned escort duties as top cover, while the remaining two carried out the bombing role. The strike aircraft successfully completed their mission and hit the designated targets using TV-guided Qased-2 smart bombs.

During the return flight in the Iran–Iraq border region, F-16 and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft engaged the Iranian formation. Two Iranian fighter jets were reportedly hit during the engagement, though none were shot down, and all four aircraft returned to base.

At the same time, Iranian F-14AM Tomcat fighters were scrambled in support and for potential interception, but no direct aerial combat took place. The main base involved in the operation was later attacked and has since been rendered non-operational.

This is such a horrendous oversimplification

Siezing Kharg is probably the worst idea imaginable

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

I have a strong suspicion that we’re going to take Kharg Island very soon.

I’ve been flying around this site for decades. It is THE heart and soul of Iran. If we take it, it’s over.

Problem is, it will take boots on the ground.

Do you support the US seizing the island? Or should we wait?

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@airsuperiorx @DriverHawk We can train more pilots, buddy.

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@BudLightSadness And yet, still managed to lose

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@SonOfUhGunn If you think about it, that's what makes it the perfect memorial

Nobody knows what it is, what it's supposed to mean or how it relates to its purpose.

Just like the wars themselves

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@Hambrabai @ConeOfArc @DeutschWatamate The Germans were using glide bombs and guided cruise missiles as early as 1943. The ASM-N-2 was used experimentally not even 6 months before the war ended lol

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@ConeOfArc @DeutschWatamate This is so insanely stupid it's laughable.

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@DeutschWatamate This is so absurdly stupid. What do you think Operation Paperclip was for?

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@Zagonel85 If anyone knew what "oil inventory" was, they would

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

Seeing Germans embrace the US and be so warmly accepted is enough to make a grown man cry

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@AnalyticaCamil1 The MEU would have been a horrible choice for that, despite Battlefield 3 using it as a centerpiece.

Plenty of coastline to hit the beach and sieze a functioning pier for a follow on armored column

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@Jolly_Jingo_250 Not really. Band of Brothers is slop repackaged with some Jungerian shock troop imagery and modern liberalism. It's like Fury but drawn out into 10 episodes

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@hugodeboss1 Sort of an oversimplification but largely correct. The modern interpretation of feel-good utopianism is not at all how Catholics treated the disabled up to the modern age. Catholics had a very cozy relationship with eugenics until recently

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@extradeadjcb Seems like they want you to disavow Joseph Smith, not Jesus Christ. Very suspect you would interpret it that way

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

Nonstop cope from the neighborhood idiots

[7% NaCl (Salty) @TwoRulesOfWar]

That’s because we prioritize being able to do actual military operations versus marching and looking good on parade.
It’s an American thing. You Europeans probably don’t remember that sort of thing.

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@pipermcq @TwoRulesOfWar We literally turned the Desert Storm victory parade into an edit, retard. We have the footage. We know they used to march in step

[Pancake Nationalist @PancakeNation12]

@PGilday45277 @TwoRulesOfWar Competent but yes, this is a huge indictment of useless the average Army NCO is
