WW II was the most titanic, most devastating, most shameful conflict in human history.

The modern world is still living with the consequences of World War 2. More than 70 years ago on September 1st 1939, Germany invaded Poland without warning sparking the start of World War Two. By the evening of September 3rd, Britain and France were at war with Germany and within a week, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa had also joined the war. The world had been plunged into its second world war in 25 years. Six long and bloody years of total war, fought over many thousand of square kilometres followed. From the Hedgerows of Normandy to the streets of Stalingrad, the icy mountains of Norway to the sweltering deserts of Libya, the insect infested jungles of Burma to the coral reefed islands of the pacific. On land, sea and in the air, Poles fought Germans, Italians fought Americans and Japanese fought Australians in a conflict which was finally settled with the use of nuclear weapons. World War 2 involved every major world power in a war for global domination and at its end, more than 60 million people had lost their lives and most of Europe and large parts of Asia lay in ruins.
In this thread we will post anything WW2 related - from pics of dead soldiers, to documentaries and personal thoughts.

"A Day That Will Live In Infamy"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Arizona_Memorial. I went to Hawaii a few years ago and visited Pearl Harbor. It's very sad and very moving knowing that many men were entombed alive in the sunken wreckage. You can still see oil oozing from the ship rising to the surface.
 
Thanks dugg.

Looks like it didn't sink too deep, why weren't more people saved?

You Know what''s Really Scary is the the money they charge for everything to go on their tours. Price of tickets to park your car watch the preview movie of Pearl Harbor attack and the ferry ride to the Arizona Memorial. They don't give you much time to stay on the Memorial either. 10-15 min.

This is the Buchenwald Concentration Camp, one of the larger in Nazi Europe in World War II. This camp was particularly gruesome because when they forced the people from the nearby town on a forced tour of the camp (which the allies did at many camps that were liberated), they were first forced to look at a parchment display of "art" made on strips of human skin. Then those other scenes in the living quarters, crematories, and piles of bodies in the camp.

Unit 731 (731 部隊, Nana-san-ichi butai?) was a Japanese chemical and biological research facility in China during World War II.

After the Japanese invaded China, they built Unit 731 for the sole purpose of gruesome experiments. There is too much to explain, but they tested weapons, performed henious medical experiments (vivisection without anesthesia, amputating limbs and reattaching limbs from other prisoners, testing the effects of bomb blasts, etc.) More can be read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

Not sure, but I hear this place was just as bad, if not worse, than the concentration camps running at the same time. What are your thoughts?

I found a rare photo from World War 2 that shows Sofia bombed by the Allies, aerial photo.

Luckily, some of the most important buildings remained unscathed and stand to this day, like the Sofia University Building, and the Nevski Cathedral.

I wonder how british or french secret sevice didn't own him early on, I know he survived several assassination attempts.

The world could have been different without this psychopath.

Good question.....I think it was not the way the Brits/French did business back then, and I think it is still pretty much this way.
 
Let us not be narrow-minded Arrowman.

Of course Britan and France had spies back then....and they do have them now.

One even managed to get into Hitler's elite force.

I am sure I am 100% convinced they had plans to just snuff this ugly freak of nature but his guard were brutal and would exterminate anyone who was even suspected of such plans immediately.

In fact, after one of Hitler's assassination attempts he become so suspicious of everyone around him, he killed his generals one by one.
 
Germany and Japan didn't have a monopoly on warmongering brutal leaders. It's just easier to hide people like that behind the facade of a democracy than a national socialist or fascist state. In WW1, the germans were decent enough to send out a written notice to Churchill that any ships sent into international waters patrolled by german U boats would be torpedoed. In response, Churchill sent the Lusitania into those waters. Guess what? It was torpedoed. You don't think he knew it would be? Roosevelt knew of the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor a long time before deember 7 because the navy had already cracked the code they were using. He didn't warn the Americans at Pearl Harbor of the impending attack. Then we have Bush and his Iraq war. Almost makes you wish for the good old days of Roosevelt and Churchill when war was achieved through deception, than the "fuck everyone, we'll invade anyone we want for any bogus made up reason" attitude Bush had. Obviously, Hitler, Mussolin and Tojo were world class monsters, but Churchill and Roosevelt were no angels either. The myth of virtuous democratic leaders should be revealed as false, just like the myth that America is a democracy at all. Bottom line, any leaders who have power are going to abuse it. That's human nature. Always has been, always wil be.
