Been wanting to visit this grave for a while and pay my respects - Major General Edward ‘Inky Bill’ Ingouville-Williams - commander of 34th Division killed by a shell at Mametz. He was to be found in No Mans Land overnight 1/2 July 1916 helping to bring in his wounded men.

Just finished the audiobook of The Weimar Years by Prof. Frank McDonough - the last volume of an absolutely superb trilogy by Prof. McDonough. Thoroughly recommend - terrifying to listen to the story of such a proud nation cutting its own throat. Lessons for our own time.

Hoping from some help! I need to find out how many Luftwaffe nightfighters moonlighting as rocket-firing day fighters were destroyed by long range US fighters in the first 4 months of 1944 - there is a reason for this! Would be grateful for any pointers 🙏 The Mighty Eighth Podcast

If you have a spare 15 minutes, listen to this. Ed Murrow’s report from a Lancaster of RAF Bomber Command raiding Berlin in the autumn of 1943, one of the 25 combat missions he flew. It is such powerful stuff. americanrhetoric.com/speeches/edwar… WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk

APPARENTLY REWRITING HISTORY HERE! You did NOT liberate Warsaw #OTD....... you entered an empty city that had been razed to the ground MONTHS after the Warsaw Uprising had ended. You watched as the Poles were slaughtered and waited for them to be put down before entering an EMPTY

Cannot wait to read the announcement of Mogga’s return. I missed the 1978/79 side by a couple of years (first Albion game in 1981) and the team Tony Mowbray built played the best football I have ever seen at the Baggies. And for him to have beaten cancer too. #wba

Been at TNA today to look at more nightfighter archives - amongst the Luftwaffe interrogation reports from March 1945 was this gem from Johann Kogler, CO of JG/6. Looks like Hajo Herrman wasn’t the superstar pilot he has been painted! James Holland Al Murray 🇺🇦 WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk
