On this day, February 23rd, in 1945 the U.S. flag was raised on Iwo Jima. #onthisday #onthisdayinhistory #WW11
Looks a bit like what happened to the Jewish people what they found out when they came back from the concentrationcamps in #WW11. Tax Bills from the city of Amsterdam, bills from the NS (national railways) for transport to the camps..
Really crazy business..!😱

In the process of transcribing the pile of letters my grandad wrote to my mum during WW11 whilst he was stationed abroad. The family remained in London throughout. This is one of a number of Airgraphs he sent her. This one from March 1941.

Spilt black and white photo (top), of Kraków in 1945 during the final days of the WW11, there are soldiers using artillery in the square. The coloured modern photo (bottom) shows the City Centre as it is today. A striking contrast between the square's past and present, highlighting the city's resilience and transformation over time. Krakow's Main Square, also known as Rynek Główny, is the heart of the city and one of Poland's most iconic landmarks. The square's history dates back to the 13th century when Krakow was founded. Over the centuries, it has undergone various transformations, reflecting the city's rich history and cultural heritage. The square is dominated by the stunning Gothic St. Mary's Basilica, built in the 14th century. The Cloth Hall, a beautiful Renaissance-style trading hall, is another prominent feature. Throughout history, the square has been a hub of commerce, politics, and social life. (Courtesy: Kraków Małopolska, Facebook.)

lol … “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is a term used by the undereducated and foolish little imps who’ve spent most of their time burning #WW11 history books instead of reading them! 🤓

How about:
"Guns before butter!"
“Guns will make us powerful; butter will only make us fat,” declared Hermann Göring, Hitler’s economics minister.

Domination, political disruption, and an expansionist ideology survives and remains; forged from the ruins and ashes of WW11.

A Guide to Berlin and a strong coffee. A good way to commence WW11 research in the city. #Research #History #WW11

It's not the first time that a dictatorship has used the judiciary to enforce its extreme and repressive ideologies to punish its own citizens.
Judge Roland Freisler, an odious creature.

My father, a Navy photographer during WW11, drew this image of family while overseas. Our father's are witnessing America's betrayal, this travesty of greed and power. I am heartbroken for all who lost their lives and all those who bled to free them.
