    Was the fire in Ireland or Britain?

    This is Reinhard Heydrich. He was dubbed "Hitler's Hangman", was a prominent leader in the SS, SD and the Gestapo. During his tenure in Czechoslovakia, the brutality of the SS knew no bounds.

    On the 27th of May, 1942, two members of the Czech Resistance (who had been trained by the British Special Operations Executive), threw a bomb at Heydrich's car as he travelled to work. Below are the remains of his car.

    Heydrich died from blood poisoning he sustained from the wounds he received on the 4th of June, 1942. He was 38 years old.

    Following the assassination, the assassins were falsely linked to the Czech village of Lidice. On the orders of Hitler and Himmler, the SS exacted a terrible revenge.

    The massacred bodies of all of the men of the village:

    SS soldiers stand amid the ruins of the village:

    Altogether, about 340 people from Lidice died because of the German reprisal (192 men, 60 women and 88 children). Only 153 women and 17 children returned after the war.

    A memorial to the massacred children of Lidice:

    There is a great story about the King's crown in Czech folklore. It is said that any false King that dons the crown will die within a year. This proved true in the 20th century. When the Nazi's took over Heydrich put the crown on. He was dead within 6 months.

    Appropriate given today's events:

    On the 12th of October 1984, the Irish Republican Army bombed the Grand Hotel in Brighton. At the time, then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet were staying in the hotel. She was the main target.

    Although she and most of her cabinet escaped without major injury or death, 5 people, including Sir Anthony Berry and Eric Taylor (both high-ranking members of the Conservative Party), were killed and 34 were injured.

    Following the bombing, in the early hours of the morning, Prime Minister Thatcher gave a statement to the waiting press and showed nothing but fierce determination to continue.

    ^^^^ The Czech massacre reminded me of this:

    Oradour-sur-Glane
    Investigation recently reopenedl


    This is story of where the German army shot all the men of the village in the centre of the the town. They then herded the women and children into the local church, threw in grenades and set fire to them while still alive. The village was then raised.

    The village has been left as it was - everything is still there. Here are a few of my own pics from 2011:

    Can't find a picture of it

    There is a Russian graveyard which has hundreds of markers.

    Each one represents a village where everyone was killed.

    Survivors of the USS Indianapolis arrive in Guam aboard the Tranquility after 5 days at sea. Of the 900 who made it into the water, only 317 remained alive. The tragedy was one of the worst in naval history, and perhaps better known as the worst shark attack ever recorded. It was made famous by 'that' scene in Jaws. The world's first operational atomic bomb was delivered by the Indianapolis to the island of Tinian on 26 July 1945.
    The ship's captain, the late Charles Butler McVay III, survived and was court-martialed and convicted of "hazarding his ship by failing to zigzag" despite overwhelming evidence that the Navy itself had placed the ship in harm's way, despite testimony from the Japanese submarine commander that zigzagging would have made no difference, and despite that fact that, although over 350 navy ships were lost in combat in WWII, McVay was the only captain to be court-martialed. Materials declassified years later adds to the evidence that McVay was a scapegoat for the mistakes of others.

    Mochitsura Hashimoto, captain of the Japanese submarine, was actually flown to Washington after the war to give evidence in McVays defence.

    "Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, chief. It was comin' back, from the island of Tinian Delady, just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen footer. You know, you know that when you're in the water, chief? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. Well, we didn't know. `Cause our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. Huh huh. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, chief. The sharks come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it's... kinda like `ol squares in battle like a, you see on a calendar, like the battle of Waterloo. And the idea was, the shark would go for nearest man and then he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark would go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces.


    Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin' chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, bosom's mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. Well... he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. He'd a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, July the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb".

    Some good books written about this also. In Harms Way by Doug Stanton was my favourite of them. He gave a very detailed account of it. Some shocking parts to it also as they described being in the water with Fuel in the water around then and they were dehydrating and then having to deal with Shark attacks. Great insight as to how those who survived did so.

    Shocked most law enforment agencies in the U.S. Was talking to a friend of mine training as a cop in the states. During his training he was made watch the video of the murder of police officer Kyle Dinkheller. It is extremely distressing.
    mqdefault.jpg


    Dinkheller pulled over a vehicle for speeding. Normal routine. Driver of the vehicle was acting pretty strangely. Dinkheller was asking him a few questions when all of the sudden the driver of the speeding vehicle get's increasingly aggressive. Brannan, the driver of the speeding vehicle, began to walk back towards his vehicle. He reached in a grabbed an M1 rifle. A shootout broke out. Dinkheller was hit several times in the arms and legs and tried to prop himself up in the drivers seat. Brannan began to reload his rifle while Dinkheller was screaming. Brannan walked up Dinkheller and fired off two rounds into Dinkheller's head. The screaming and the blood curdling are what get me. I had no clue what I was watching. You do.

    On New Years Day 2009, a San Francisco police officer shot and subsequently killed a man, Oscar Grant, who was prone on the ground. He drew his gun instead of taser :eek:



    Shooting takes place at around the 1.15min mark. Watch the police officers reaction as the realisation of what he did sets in.
