THE WORLD FAMOUS HISTORY AND PAST EVENTS

Chetnik war crimes in World War II The Chetniks, a Yugoslav royalist and Serbian nationalist movement and guerrilla force, committed numerous war crimes during the Second World War, primarily directed against the non-Serb population of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, mainly Muslims and Croats, and against Communist-led Yugoslav Partisans and their supporters. Most historians who have considered the question regard the Chetnik crimes against Muslims and Croats during this period as constituting genocide. The Chetnik movement drew its members from the interwar Chetnik Association and various Serb nationalist groups. Some Chetnik ideologues were inspired by the Stevan Moljević's Homogeneous Serbia memorandum in July 1941, that defined the borders of an ethnically pure Greater Serbia. A similar document was put forward to the Yugoslav government-in-exile in September 1941. The Yugoslav government embraced t...

“Flak so thick you could get out and walk on it” was a common phrase to describe heavy antiaircraft fire. Others said things like: "The flak was so thick, if you put your wheels down you could taxi on it.”   Throughout the summer of 1943, bomber crews sustained heavy casualties. Losses of 30 or more aircraft—300 men—were not uncommon throughout the summer. John Luckadoo, a pilot in the 100th Bomb Group recalled that he “calculated a 400 percent turnover in the first 90 days” of combat. In 1943, bomber crews were tasked with a 25-mission tour of duty. Most crews never made it past their fifth.   The United States Eighth Air Force deployed to England with a daunting mission: destroy Germany’s ability to wage war, and gain command of the European skies to pave the way for an Allied land invasion. In order to accomplish it, thousands of American airmen had to face the constant threat of death daily. German anti-aircraft fire, or flak, was one of those deadly threats. Som...

All of Israel is mourning the death of 23 year old IDF soldier St.-Sgt. David Yehuda Yitzhak, who was killed last night as the brave Israeli elite soldiers were exiting the terror enclave of Jenin.  These Israeli soldiers went into the terror enclave and confiscated ready to use bombs, guns, and hundreds of deadly weapons.  Why is it always the best who are taken? David volunteered with special needs kids, was faithful and loved a live devoted to God, was in one of the most elite army units…and was a big brother to six siblings. He died, so that we can live. Please God, May we live in peace. May David’s memory be a blessing, and may his family find comfort with the mourners of Zion. Heartbreaking. 💔

VIETNAM SOLDIER ___ He was just a young man, fighting in a country full of rage ... Vietnam. It was hell I heard him tell as he watched so many die, as bloody battles lit up the sky. So unaware that he was over there, soon the boy became a man.   He was fighting for freedom so he had to take a stand. And the eagle cries... tears fill her eyes. But our flag still flies. Just knowing that every breath he takes could be his last,  And too scared to sleep he could barely stand. His heart beats fast, so hard and fast.  The only thing that pulls him through are the memories he holds of me and you. His family, his world, he left behind weighs heavy on his mind. He dreams of coming home again, while the enemy is closing in. He hits the ground and doesn't make a sound. His heart beats fast, he can hear it pound,  As death lies all around. Maybe he got lucky he missed dying one more day, Or maybe God decided this brave soldier should not stay. We can only pray please keep...

 When I was a kid, I couldn't understand why Eisenhower was so popular.  Maybe this will explain why. General Eisenhower Warned Us. It is a matter of history  that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.  He did this because he said in words to this effect:  'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'  This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet... However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving int...

  Please pray for the children who today suffer not only from the fact that they have lost their homes, their parents suffer from pain and torment.  Pray for the war to end. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, more than 14 million Ukrainians have become refugees, according to UN estimates. Six million of them fled the country, and eight million were forced to leave their homes and became internally displaced persons. Russian military invaders continue to commit sexual crimes in the occupied territories of Ukraine.  Victims are often children, sometimes even younger than ten years old, as well as older men, said Lyudmila Denisova, Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Over the past week, the Ombudsman’s psychological help line has been receiving reports of sexual crimes by rashists from the liberated districts of Kharkiv region from victims and relatives. “Yesterday, in just one hour, 10 people applied because of the sexual vio...

  Armenian Holocaust The Armenian Genocide, also known as the Armenian Holocaust, the Armenian Massacres and, traditionally among Armenians, as the Great Crime, was the Ottoman Government's Systematic Extermination of its Minority Armenian Subjects from their historic homeland in the territory constituting the present-day Republic of Turkey.  It took place during and after World War I and was implemented in two phases: the wholesale killing of the able-bodied Male Population through Massacre and Forced Labor, and the Deportation of women, children, the elderly and infirm on Death Marches to the Syrian Desert.  The total number of people killed as a result has been estimated at between 1 and 1.5 Million. The Assyrians, the Greeks and other Minority groups were similarly targeted for Extermination by the Ottoman Government, and their treatment is considered by many historians to be part of the same Genocidal Policy. The Starting Date of the Genocide is conventionally held t...

  Armenian men being hanged during the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Besides Armenian genocide. Islamization of Armenians was carried out as a systematic state policy involving the bureaucracy, police, judiciary, and clergy and was a major structural component of the genocide. An estimated 100,000 to 200,000 Armenians were Islamized,[186] and it is estimated that in the early twenty-first century as many as two million Turkish citizens may have at least one Armenian grandparent. Some Armenians were allowed to convert to Islam and evade deportation, but where their numbers exceeded the five to ten percent threshold, or where there was a risk of their being able to preserve their nationality and culture, the regime insisted on their physical destruction.. Talaat Pasha personally authorized conversion of Armenians and carefully tracked the loyalty of converted Armenians until the end of the war.[189] Although the first and most important step was conversion to Islam, the process also req...

The Battle of Wabash / aka St. Clair's Defeat (November 4th, 1791). A multi-tribal confederation, formed to resist colonial expansion into their historical homelands, routs a large contingent of U.S. troops along the Wabash River in western Ohio. This one-sided clash, known as the Battle of the Wabash or St. Clair’s Defeat, would be the biggest victory ever won by Native Americans over the United States—with far more casualties inflicted than even the Battle of the Little Bighorn—and would prompt a major overhaul of the American military.  With the passage of the Northwest Ordinance in 1787, the newly independent United States opened an early phase of westward expansion into lands occupied by the Shawnee, Miami, Delaware, Wyandot and other Great Lakes tribes. Banding together to fight the incursion, the tribes rebuffed an assault in 1790 near present-day Fort Wayne, Indiana, killing 183 U.S. soldiers in the campaign. This prompted the United States to muster an even larger force th...

Before the Great War: The Italian-Turkish War (1911-1912), a part The Italo-Turkish War (1911-1912) was teased by Ottoman Libya, which was 1.5 to 2.5 million (mostly Arab and barbaric Muslim), living in coastal cities (including about 1,000 Italian nationals) and who mainly lived as members of the tribes inland.  The war broke out because Italy confirmed that, as the successor to the Roman Empire, it had the right to rule the ancient Roman territories. Given that Libya was the only Mediterranean region unclaimed by another European power, it was the only region Italy could have dominated.  Given it as its "Fourth Coast", Italy expected to solve its problems of higher unemployment and emigration by settling poor Italians. Initially, Italy tried to gain it through peaceful penetration, but in front of Ottoman sanctions, it claimed that its citizens were discriminated against and had to deal with Libya forcefully. In its preparation, Italy concluded agreements with European powe...

The so called Moors were a combination of Amazigh, People of west African Empires like Mali, North Africans etc; all united under Islamic ideology that was spreading like wildfire from the Arabian peninsula in 711 CE. The invasion was led by Tariq ibn Zyad Al layti from North Africa.   Europe had degenerated into primitive life after 10 barbarian tribes scattered the Roman empire from within and couldn't hold things together... That was how the Roman letterings fall along the way. These barbarian tribes were the Saxons(Brits after 5th century CE) the Celts(Brits before 5th century CE), Franks (today's French), the Goths ( Germans today), Nordic Varangians(Russia and some Scandinavians today), the Visigo...

No tongue can tell, no mind conceive, no pen portray the horrible sights I witnessed." Recollections of a soldier wounded at Antietam, 1862 Collecting the remains of the dead, 1860s Courtesy Library of Congress Most soldiers, many of whom were as young as eighteen when they reported for duty, were unprepared for the realities of wartime and the scale of the carnage. They were usually marshaled for service without training, and often stationed miles from where they had grown up. Both sides had predicted a swift resolution to the conflict, and morale plummeted as the fighting dragged on.

British soldiers inspecting a fallen German soldier laying in the muddy wasteland in Flanders, ca. October 1917. Today 106 years ago, on October 4, 1917, the Battle of Broodseinde was fought, as part of the Third Battle of Ypres. Following the successful Battles of the Menin Road Ridge and Polygon Wood, the British planned for the next assault. Along a 13 km front, the objective of this attack would be the Broodseinde Ridge and the Gravenstafel Spur, thus taking the rest of the Gheluvelt Plateau and obtaining positions from which a fresh assault could be launched on the Passchendaele Ridge itself later on.  The British had assembled more than 1,300 guns and 12 Divisions for this attack, including 4 ANZAC Divisions, who were up against 10 German Divisions at Broodseinde. The Allies would use the bite-and-hold strategy, following its great successes at the Menin Road Ridge and Polygon Wood in September 1917. No unit were to advance further than 2 km at a time and there would be no bi...
