www.airforce.ru/history/cold_war/zabelin/chapter5_en.htmInterview with Soviet Korean War MiG ace V.N. Zabelin. My favorite part has to be where he describes descending on a flight of Sabres who were unaware of him. He was pretty sure the Sabres were other MiGs and apparently the two realized their errors at the last moment and Zabelin was close enough to see the American wing leader freak the fuck out.

The story of Major Sepp Gangl and that one time US and German Wehrmacht soldiers teamed up to stick a thumb in the eye of the SS www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32622651Gangl was the only soldier on the allied side during the battle for the castle to be KIA. Many SS were taken prisoner and the French prisoners inside the castle, including the sister of Charles de Gaulle, were freed. Major Gangl was a brave man to go against his own countrymen like that: Ad victoriam non sibi sed patriae.

On August 6th, 1945 at approximately 8:15 am local time the atomic age began at a place called Hiroshima, Japan. The world's first atomic weapons were used to end the world's most destructive war.
Roughly 150,000 were killed with a single bomb at Hiroshima alone...another forty to eighty thousand would be killed in the bombing of Nagasaki.
May we never be forced to use weapons like these again.
