Good on him!

www.instagram.com/reel/DRNbzDu... Saw this and thought of you! @typejunky.bsky.social

This is interesting

Similar to what I was thinking @samclark82.bsky.social

Did you see this @peteblanchard.bsky.social ?

#OTD in 1941 the last events of the Tembien convoy battle play out in the Mediterranean. At night, the Malta Wellingtons strike Tripoli. Sgt. Brandwood and his crew, shot down the day before, are rescued by HM/Sub Utmost. They are the only survivors of three Blenheim crews shot down in the attack.

I'm assuming @peteblanchard.bsky.social that you suggested them to the big man?

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

Hey @peteblanchard.bsky.social remember how cross you were, when you dropped your helmet!

Hey @kriegsspuren.bsky.social an I correct in thinking that 'kriegspuren' = 'War Trails'

A House Through Time, Series 5: Two Cities at War: Episode 1: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002389m via @bbciplayer This is also great @markbarnesn16.bsky.social

A wee story that may interest you @gilesmacdonogh.bsky.social

Thread from a guy I haven't heard from in ages!

A visit to Winchester’s military museums, this afternoon. Sadly, I didn’t give myself enough time to really do them justice, but at least it means I’ll have to return to this lovely city. #Winchester #Hants #Hampshire

This week’s podcast is out… The Austro-Hungarian navy assaults the Otranto Barrage in May 1917 but will the Allies catch them or will this be an Austrian victory? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m... #history #navalhistory #podcast

Wow! Incredible! Hold the front page: Farridge intends to do what Trumpy-Pumpy is doing! Does this buffoon have a SINGLE political suggestion that hasn't issued from the nether regions of the Old Trump?

I guess the academic online bully blocked everyone, instead of owning his petty and vindictive bullsh*t

Ignore the online bully, everyone

Thought I'd mark the #Somme anniversary by dusting off a thread of aerial photos from the other place: Here, the village of Beaumont Hamel, on 20 June 1916. A few days before the opening of the week-long preparatory bombardment.

I have this half-serious theory that the Germans could sense, somewhat subconsciously, what was to happen so they left their traces everywhere. And I mean it, I find them literally everywhere.

Prick

The fascinating feature of this newsreel was how long it took to get to Barbarossa. After the football, came the visit of the Japanese ambassador to Hannover. The Nazi pulled out all the show piece effects. Hiroshi Ōshima was made a freeman of Göttingen.

There's a story about the SA's shambolic drunken appearance at the end of Hitler's victory parade on 30 January 1933. Hindenburg congratulated the chief-of-staff and said: 'How well your men are marching, and what a lot of prisoners they appear to have taken!'

‘SATAN’S CHARIOT’, needs a hand. A Cromwell from 5RTR, 7th Armd Division, gets a tow from the soft Gold Beach sand. Photographed #OTD 14 June 1944, by Reg Morris. Note the wading trunking, waterproofing, and the upturned sand shield used for stowage. IWM B 5580 #5RTR #22Armd #SWW #History

Another of Jimmy Mapham’s photos, this time a Cromwell from HQ 11th Armd Division, as indicated by the AoS, white 40 on black, passing through Herouvillette #OTD 14 June 1944. This tank is often misidentified as 2 Northants Yeo, but the markings indicates otherwise #BritishTankMarkings IWM B 5557

A Sherman Vc ‘T148496’ from ‘A’ Squadron, 24th Lancers, 8th Armoured Brigade, south of St. Leger, heading towards Audrieu and Point 103, photographed #OTD 11th June 1944, by Sgt Midgley. IWM B 5416 #24Lancers #8Armd #Firefly #SWW #History #WW2

More from the camera of Jimmy Mapham, aboard LCT 610, approaching the French coast #OTD 6th June 1944. With the 13/18 Hussars of 27th Armoured Brigade. Sherman 10, ‘Balaklava’ is a Mk III (M4A2) from the RHQ, in front an ARV. IWM B5110 #13/18Hussars #27Armd #SWW #History #WW2
