German pilot testing a Parabellum MG-14/17 machine gun from his aircraft, 1917.

During WWI on the Western Front, the losses of German aircraft rose to 27,637 for all causes, compared to 35,973 British and 52,640 French aircraft.

As for pilots themselves, about 1/5 of the 22,000 British pilots who completed flight training died, compared to just over 1/4 of all German pilots. In total, there are an estimated 50,000 airmen and crews killed in WWI in all armies.

Pilots would only receive a dozen hours of training before being sent to the skies. For this reason, a WWI pilot's life expectancy was only a matter of weeks. In 1916-1917 for the British Royal Flying Corps, the life expectancy of a new combat pilot was just 20 minutes, which earned them the tetric nickname the "20 Minute Club".

Jong Sang Thaek’s brutal execution: Stripped naked and eaten alive by Dogs North Korea, Jan 03: Unlike previous executions of political prisoners, the execution of Jang Song Thaek on December 12 was reportedly one of the most brutal ones ever conducted by the North Korean regime.

After Hiroshima and Nagasaki: Tragedy and Humiliation. U.S. and Australian brutalisation of women on the Japanese mainland. (Excerpt From Pages 66-69) All references are provided in the book itself. “There was a far darker side to the U.S. and allied occupation of Japan, one which is little mentioned in the vast majority of histories – American or otherwise. When Japan surrendered in August 1945, mass rapes by occupying forces were expected… [despite setting up of a comfort women which recruited or otherwise trafficked desperate women to brothels] such crimes were still common and several of them were extremely brutal and resulted in the deaths of the victims. Political science professor Eiji Takemae wrote regard- ing the conduct of American soldiers occupying Japan: ‘U.S. troops comported themselves like conquerors, especially in the early weeks and months of occupation. Misbehavior ranged from black-marketeering, petty theft, reckless driving and disorderly con...

King Edward VII Love Chair

King Edward VII (nicknamed Bertie), had a custom made ‘siege d’amour’ (or love chair), kept at the famous Le Chabanais brothel in Paris. It was built to allow him to have sex with two or more people all at the same time. The chair was the ultimate symbol of Bertie’s voracious sexual appetite, which became a constant headache for the royal family, especially his mother, who believed him utterly untrustworthy and severely limited his Royal responsibilities as a result. However, the more Queen Victoria disapproved, the more extravagant Bertie became in his pursuits of pleasure, the chair being the ultimate testament to his rebellious and irresponsible behaviour. The press gave him the name ‘Dirty Bertie’. It was said that his father had a word with him about his dalliances and then died shortly after their chat. Queen Victoria blamed his death on the stress brought about by “that dreadful business”, or at least a big contributing factor of it. She then arranged his marri...

While at a glance one could see four legs dangling beyond the hem of her dress only one pair actually belonged to her. The other set belonged to her DIPYGUS twin sister. Born in Lincoln County, TN in 1868 and spending most of her childhood in Blount Council, AL - where she can be found in the 1880 census, her condition was incredibly rare.

The Battle and Ra.pe of Manila

The Battle and Ra.pe of Manila While the Rape of Nanking in China is slowly making its way into mainstream media and educational systems, the Manila massacre is still struggling to get recognition regardless of the inexplicable inhumanity involved, matching even that of Nanking. An American soldier in Manila rescuing a wounded Filipino girl Time: February 1945 Sources: MacArthur Archives The Japanese occupation of the Philippines' capital started after five months of fierce fighting against US forces during the early days of the Pacific War.

Seventy years on from the end of the Second World War the full, shocking scale of the Nazi-inspired Holocaust in Ukraine is finally being revealed - thanks to pioneering work by a French Catholic priest to research the truth of the industrial-scale killing. Around 2,000 mass graves of Jewish victims have been located where men, women and children were shot and buried by the Germans and their collaborators.

The Nanking Massacre is a devastating example of the suffering that can be inflicted on a defeated or weak country during times of war.

The Nanking Massacre is a devastating example of the suffering that can be inflicted on a defeated or weak country during times of war. It serves as a reminder of the importance of working to prevent conflicts and protect civilians in times of conflict. It is also a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit, as many survivors of the massacre were able to rebuild their lives and move forward despite the unimaginable horrors they had experienced. The Nanking Massacre, also known as the Nanjing Massacre, was a horrific event that took place in the Chinese city of Nanjing in December 1937, during the Second Sino-Japanese War. After the Japanese Imperial Army invaded and captured the city, they carried out a campaign of mass murder, rape, and destruction that lasted for several weeks. It is estimated that as many as 300,000 Chinese civilians and prisoners of war were killed during this time. The Nanking Massacre is a tragic example of the suffering that can be inflicted o...
