Some of those trains shot to pieces were transporting allied POW's. One of the unintended consequences of war. Just like American submarines sinking Japanese ships with allied POW's.
The skewed painting trap was a terrible but ingenious tool for killing. They were utilizing the vulnerabilities of those who have OCD. They were unaware of how much they were on the Deutschmark at the time but it is ingenious. The officers were more likely to be killed by it due to a correlation between intellect and neuroses like OCD. Fascinating, I wonder if I could resist? 😂
Nah, I say they were self inflicted or he allowed someone else to do that to him. Those scares are way too far apart to be from a house cat and too shallow from a big cat!
Roosevelt's flamethrowers and incendiaries were crueler than Hitler's Zyklon B delousing gas chambers of how it is a hypocritical double standard of Eurocentric and Afrocentric biases were caused by how mammalian nurturing reflex favors babyish round eyes so it is an armed security news entertainment complex to benefit monotheism so Lee Iacocca used Politically Correct Popular WWII propaganda to incite Detroit autoworkers to murder Vincent Chin of how NATO received accolades for atrocities only to instigate Russia.
An old flying buddy of mine, now deceased, flew P-51s in Europe. One evening at a club meeting, he told us about a flight that he was on to strike "targets of opportunity." He described flying as wingman when they spotted a locomotive pulling flat bed cars with armored vehicles. He went on to describe how the lead P-51 opened up on the engine but didn't inflict any serious damage. He said that he rolled in on the engine right after the number one aircraft cleared the target and started hammering it. Just as he started to pass over it, the trains boiler blew up, and a chunk of it knocked off his intercooler, which resulted in a fire. He described trading off airspeed for altitude in an effort to have enough height to bail out. At 3,000 feet, he slid the canopy open, and the fire went out. So, he got back in and made a landing in a farmers plowed field. As he got out, the enemy calvary came out of the near by woods and started shooting at him. He told us that the only weapon That he had available was his service revolver and that wasn't going to help him very much. Well, as luck would have it, the lead P-51 saw what was happening, rolled in on the cavalry and "hosed" them. The few that were left vanished back in the woods. The lead aircraft then landed in the field, nocking off his tail wheel. He slid his canopy open and Charlie climbed in and sat on the pilots lap. They took off and flew back to their base in Italy. He had the proof with him that evening. Charlie Wilson produced the copy of "Yank" magazine with the full story and a recreated photo of him sitting on the pilots lap in the cockpit of a P-51. RIP Charlie my dear old friend.
My dads friends dad was an example of why you dont shoot boxcars bc they were being transpotted and his buddys brains exploded everywhere in the boxcar right next to him when the plane did its strafing run
Oh no it’s the war winning yanks again of course the RAF who were in the war over 2 years before the yanks joined in never did anything like this The yanks did everything and all was well WHAT A LOAD OF PROPAGANDA THIS IS MR YANK YOU MAKE ME PEE MY ENGLISH PANTS LAUGHING
George Carroll, who has died aged 94, was a bomb disposal officer in Malta during the height of the siege in 1941 and 1942. 05 June 2012 • 6:27pm George Carroll The British outpost of Malta was of great strategic importance in the battle to secure convoy routes through the Mediterranean to supply the forces fighting in North Africa, and the Axis powers were determined to bomb or starve the islanders into submission. Early on November 1 1941, Carroll received an urgent report that dozens of unexploded anti-personnel bombs were lying in the streets of the capital, Valletta. They looked like Thermos flasks, but they became armed on landing and were designed to explode at the slightest disturbance. By the end of the day Carroll and his men had dealt with 90 unexploded bombs in Valletta and another 35 in the northern village of Gharghur. Among the total of 518 UXBs that he was responsible for that month were about three dozen “Thermos” bombs which the police had collected and were lined up on a shelf in a police station situated in the basement of Malta’s opera house. Had they exploded, they would have devastated the building. Carroll devised and operated a remote-controlled grab and a system of pulleys to lower the bombs into a sand-filled tray and bring them through the window to the outside of the building. This highly hazardous operation took two days. George Daniel Carroll, the son of a quay master in North Shields, was born on April 22 1918. He won scholarships to Tynemouth High School and King’s College, University of Durham, where he graduated in Electrical Engineering in 1939. A leading college sportsman and amateur actor, he was studying for a further degree in Mechanical Engineering when he volunteered for the Army in November 1939. He joined the Corps of Royal Engineers and, in October 1940, was posted to London as a bomb disposal officer at the height of the Blitz. For the first three weeks, he received no formal training. His posting to Malta in April 1941 put him in charge of a section of 20 men responsible for Army bomb disposal for the whole of the islands of Malta and Gozo with the exception of RAF airfields and Royal Navy dockyards. At the site of a UXB, he had absolute authority over all civilians and over officers, however senior in rank. In January 1942, in response to escalating Luftwaffe bombing, another officer joined him. During March and April, the tonnage of bombs dropped on the island was double the total for the worst year of the London Blitz. Between them, the two men dealt with 600 UXB reports and with their sections neutralised 500 unexploded bombs in under four months. On one occasion, having climbed up to a point where a bomb was perched precariously on a roof, he was scraping carefully through some rubble to find the fuse when suddenly the bomb fell. “I died,” he said afterwards. “I was expecting it to explode and it didn’t. It bounced across the road and hit the ground again. I died again. And then it rolled across the ground and with each roll it could go off - and it didn’t. I was very lucky that day.” Following surgery for a perforated ulcer which had almost killed him, Carroll returned to bomb disposal duties in London, serving for another 15 months before his health deteriorated again. In February 1944, he was retired on the grounds of ill health. He then became a professional actor, achieving success in repertory and on the London stage. He appeared in the musical Pacific 1860 by Noël Coward. Carroll subsequently became a science teacher in Farnham and, in 1957, was appointed head of department at a pioneering secondary modern school in Kent. He retired in 1981, but remained active as an amateur actor, golfer, radio football commentator and charity volunteer. He suffered flashbacks and nightmares and was diagnosed in 2009 with post-traumatic stress disorder. George Carroll married, in 1947, Betty Holmes, who survives him with their daughter and two sons. George Carroll, born April 22 1918, died May 23 2012
Because they don't explode. The tank is punctured and the super heated water under high pressure suddenly has a drop in pressure and the water flashes to steam. Thus, that's what we see.
For those of you wondering, the original footage is from a series called Digging For The Truth, the episode is called The Giants of Patagonia. I believe it's season 2, I cannot fully remember. But it talks about giant humans and the possibility of ground sloths still living to the present. It's VERY entertaining. Comment made: 4:43 PM Saturday, December 23 2023
He's using the modern incarnation of the 1941 "Stevens stopper". In those days the fluid was made from a sugar solution, that had to be mixed at the site.
