Welcome to September! How was your summer compared to past years?
This month, we’re going to do something a bit different with the media offerings in each reader tips posting. More precisely, the weekends will continue to offer a potpourri of different videos, but on weekdays we’re going to serialize assorted podcasts that you will hopefully find compelling.
So, we shall begin the month with 52 Lesser Known WWII Battles.
Your most interesting tips to start out this new month are most welcome!
You would not have wanted to be a part of the Winter War in Finland. My one grandfather fought against the Russians, my family are from Karelia the part of Finland the Russians stole. My other / German grandfather worked on the V2 rocket program, my dad was just a kid but he remembers Von Braun coming to the house to meet with my grandfather. And he remembers when the Americans bombed the crap out of Peenemuende. One bomb fell in front of the house they were in but the soil was so soft that it went deep before exploding and only took the roof off the house. My one uncle told the story, he was a regular (German) soldier, stationed in Prague when the war ended. First thing the Chechs did, go into the hospitals and any German with a tattoo, killed them on the spot. Tattoo = SS.
My German grandfather was just old enough to be sent to fight the Russians in WW1 and just young enough to be sent to fight the Russians in WW2. Lucky guy… he lived to be 72.
No going to be nitpicking on mistakes and some odd choices in the video. Instead will point one most glaring omission: Arras, the battle that arguably saved the Empire and one of the most important battles of WWII, yet barely known, but fear not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPKp-GKgbl0&t Two tank battalions in a suicidal charge made a big difference.
Here is a little known fascinating David vs Goliath battle that you probably have never heard about a Dutch tanker and an Indian/Australian corvette vs two Japanese Armed Merchant Cruisers, will not spoil the ending : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ujZemGqzJo&t
