[WW2 The Eastern Front @ShoahUkraine]

20 years after Stalingrad in 1963, Marshal of the Soviet Union Vasily Chuikov and Sergeant Yakov Pavlov sit at the same table again, on the Soviet television show "Goluboy Ogonyok" .

Marshal Chuikov introduces him as "the house owner of Stalingrad," Pavlov names every man who held Pavlov's House with him for 58 days, and Marshal Chuikov tells how he found Pavlov after the war in Weimar and got him the Hero of the Soviet Union star.

On this day — 12 November 1894 — Lawrence Hargrave achieved his breakthrough box‑kite flight, proving that a man‑lifting, heavier‑than‑air machine was possible long before the Wright brothers made their famous powered flight in 1903.
Hargrave’s work at Stanwell Park demonstrated the principles of lift and stability that would underpin modern aviation. His pioneering designs and experiments earned him a place on Australia’s old $20 note, where his portrait appeared alongside his remarkable flying machines.

Was Venice's iconic Winged Lion statue made in China?

Isotope analysis indicates this symbol of Venetian statehood was made from a modified Tang Dynasty tomb guardian, a reminder of the impressive connectedness of the medieval world.

Most remote ocean islands grow from hotspots or mid-ocean ridges. These were once attached to India and Madagascar, and were left behind as Gondwana broke up.

A completely different origin story to Hawaii, that other archipelago paradise.
