World War II footage of Muslim volunteers praying alongside members of the Waffen-SS in Nazi Germany during the 1940s.

As the war expanded, Nazi Germany recruited volunteers from various regions, including the Balkans, the Caucasus, Crimea, and Central Asia.

Happy Sunday ✌️
OTD in 1943: USS Pampanito (SS-383) was launched. The Balao-class submarine made 6 WWII war patrols & is now a museum in San Francisco.
In 1996, she played USS Stingray (SS-161) in one of the greatest submarine movies of all time…

On this day in 1944, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep in a stone farmhouse in Normandy. He was 56 years old, and he had spent almost his entire adult life trying to be worthy of a famous last name.

He was the eldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt. In the First World War he went to France and was gassed and badly wounded at Soissons leading his men. That same summer his younger brother Quentin, a pilot, was shot down and killed over France. Ted came home with lungs and a leg that never fully recovered, and before he even left Europe he helped found the American Legion so that ordinary soldiers would have someone looking out for them.

Between the wars he did almost everything. Governor of Puerto Rico. Governor General of the Philippines. Businessman, explorer, writer. He could have spent the Second World War safe behind a desk. Instead, at 54, arthritic and walking with a cane, he talked his way back into uniform and into combat.

By 1943 he was fighting in North Africa and Sicily under Terry Allen, and their loose, unpolished, soldier-first style rubbed General Patton the wrong way. Patton had them both relieved of command. Roosevelt didn't sulk. He asked for another job, any job, as long as it kept him near the fighting. They made him assistant commander of the 4th Infantry Division.

Then came D-Day. He hid a heart condition from the Army doctors. He wrote to his commander three separate times, in writing, begging to go in with the very first wave rather than watch from a ship. He was the only general to land in the first wave on any beach that morning, the oldest man in the invasion, walking through machine gun fire with a cane in one hand and a pistol in the other.

The boats came in a mile off course. Officers froze. Roosevelt limped up and down the beach under fire, studied the ground, and said, "We'll start the war from right here." Then he spent the morning waving men forward and sorting out the chaos so calmly that terrified 20 year olds looked at this old man with a cane and decided that if he wasn't scared, they wouldn't be either.

His son Quentin, named for the uncle killed in the last war, landed at Omaha Beach the same morning. They were the only father and son to come ashore together on D-Day.

He died a month later. A heart attack in his sleep. And here is the part that gets me. On the very day he died, the orders had just come through promoting him to major general and giving him his own division. He never saw the paperwork. He never knew he'd earned the Medal of Honor either.

At his funeral his pallbearers were seven of the most famous generals of the war, Bradley, Hodges, Collins, Barton, Huebner, and George Patton. The same Patton who had fired him. Patton wrote in his diary that Roosevelt was one of the bravest men he had ever known.

Years later Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic thing he witnessed in all of World War II. He didn't pause. He said, "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

1967 interview with Lance Corporal Garland Ray “Buddy” Mann of DeValls Bluff, Arkansas, who was killed in action on December 6, 1967, in Thừa Thiên Province, South Vietnam. He left behind his wife, Hester Ann Mayes Mann, and their daughter, Janet. Tragically, Janet never had the chance to meet her father.

During World War II, crews of German Panther tanks were trained to engage not only enemy armor but also well-concealed infantry. This rare training footage demonstrates tactics used against entrenched defensive positions, revealing the harsh realities of battlefield combat where tanks and infantry fought in close coordination.

This gorgeous beach scene made me think... Who else spent way too long trying to find that one perfect seashell?  My treasure hunt ended with a hermit crab giving me the side-eye. 🦀😂 Such amazing vibes here!
