A whole new level..

Russians complaining that Ukrainian Forces are now outsourcing drone operations to gamers all over the world by connecting hundreds of drones to a virtual server and inviting skilled drone operators to take out battalions, with cash prizes awarded for each.

On July 20, 1944, in sun-drenched Rhodes, 30-year-old Turkish Consul General Selahattin Ülkümen walked into German military headquarters.

Through the windows, he saw troops rounding up nearly 1,700 Sephardic Jews — descendants of Spanish refugees who had lived on the island for 450 years, still speaking Ladino.

The Gestapo had summoned them for “registration” and a supposed short trip nearby. But Ülkümen knew the truth: the boats, the trains to Piraeus, and Auschwitz awaited.

He carried a list — officially 13 Jews with Turkish passports. Quietly, he had added 25 to 30 more names.

Born in 1914 and multilingual, Ülkümen had arrived in 1943 as the last Turkish diplomat in Axis Europe. After the Germans seized Rhodes, they pressured Turkey to close the consulate. Turkey refused.

Tragedy struck on February 18, 1944, when bombs hit the consulate. His pregnant wife Mihrinissa was critically wounded; two staff died. An emergency delivery saved their son Mehmet, but Mihrinissa passed away.

Her mother then took her own life. At 30, Ülkümen was a widower with a newborn.

Five months later, the Nazis arrested the Jewish men and ordered the women and children to report — or their husbands would be shot.

Ülkümen confronted German commander General Ulrich Kleemann. Turkey was neutral — his only leverage.

He demanded the release of all Turkish citizens. When challenged on the expanded list, he calmly declared: “Under Turkish law, spouses and families of Turkish citizens are automatically protected.”

There was no such law. He invented it on the spot.

He argued for hours, invoking neutrality and the threat of diplomatic crisis. Kleemann relented. More than 40 families — roughly 50 people, up to 200 by other counts — were released.

The rest of Rhodes’ Jews were deported. Only about 150 survived Auschwitz.

The Germans detained Ülkümen after Turkey broke relations with Germany.

He endured under their guard until liberation in 1945, learning his Jews had reached safety in Turkey. He continued his diplomatic career quietly, never remarrying, and rarely spoke of Rhodes.

His son Mehmet followed in his footsteps.

In 1989, Yad Vashem named him Righteous Among the Nations, the first Turkish citizen honored. Israel issued a postage stamp; Turkey later awarded him the Distinguished Service Medal. He died in Istanbul in 2003 at 89.

Selahattin Ülkümen had every reason to do nothing — grieving his wife, raising an infant, isolated under Nazi watch. He could have stopped at the 13 verified names.

Instead, this young widower wrote extra names, invented a law, and outbluffed the Gestapo. Whole bloodlines survive today because one Turkish consul chose to lie for strangers on a July afternoon.
His crime? Inventing a law that didn’t exist.
His legacy? Families who never boarded the train to Auschwitz.
Selahattin Ülkümen — quiet hero, guardian of life.

May his memory be a blessing.

@sanjayuvacha Read about unit 731, nanjing massacre, death railway where besides 15 k pows 100000 labourers died - mostly of indian origin, the massacares in Andaman and all over SE Asia. Hirohito and many Japanese war criminals got away too easily.

Then came the fiercely anti-Nazi General von Thoma.

@DrNimoYadav Whatever his father posted or his views, how can you be so petty to bring it up. Ultimately an Indian citizen was killed.

15 years ago, I moved to Norway 🇳🇴... carrying my Indian work ethic - weekend work, skipped lunches, late evenings, and pushing myself even when I was not well.

Then one day, during my early days in Norway, my boss called me in. I thought I was going to be praised.

You replied to my email on Saturday. And you cancelled your vacation to deliver a project without telling me. I know you meant well, but that is not okay.

Vacation is mandatory. You never skip it. Your juniors are watching you. If they see this, they will think this is what dedication means.

I got scolded… for working too much.

I sat there confused. In India, this might have earned me a “highly dedicated” remark. Here, it was a problem.

That day broke something in me.

It made me see the hustle, the anxiety, and the need to keep grinding all the time - and for the first time, I broke in tears for everything it had quietly cost me.

Your thoughts - how are bosses and corporate culture today for you

@Drone_Wars_ Lower frequency in radio links will give longer range but with higher latency not easy to manouver in tight corners in fpv. In fpv video link is also a concern. You may have an active radio link but if vtx is jammed you cant see. 5.8 ghz is most common vtx but seeing few 1.2 now

A farmer buys a young cock. As soon as he gets it home, it f*cks all the farmer's 150 hens. The farmer is impressed. At lunch the cock screws all 150 hens again.

The next day it's f*cking the ducks and geese too. Later he finds the cock lying on the ground half-dead with vultures circling overhead.

The farmer says, “You deserved it, you horny bastard!” The cock opens one eye, points up, and says, “Shhhhhh. They’re about to land!!”
