Un 29 de abril de 1945, el Tercer Ejército de Choque del Ejercito Rojo iniciaba su asalto final al Reichstag, el corazón simbólico de la Alemania nazi.

El Tercer Reich de Hitler, que había llegado a tener un tamaño de 600.000 kilómetros cuadrados, había sido acorralado y oviética a apenas 3 kilómetros de ancho.

En los asaltos iniciales, los soviéticos tomaron edificios de gran simbolismo como el Ministerio del Interior y, después de una lucha feroz contra los nazis, lograron capturar el cuartel general de la Gestapo, empezaban las luchas a las puertas del Reichstag.

A órdenes de Stalin, los soldados soviéticos llevarían consigo banderas rojas masivamente como símbolo de la victoria del comunismo sobre el nazismo, una de ellas llegaría a ondear en lo alto más alto del Reichstag alemán y reinaría en Berlin días después.

En un sacrificio monumental, la Unión Soviética acabaría venciendo a Hitler, perdiendo a más de 27 millones de personas liberando a Europa, avanzando hasta Berlín y poniendo fin al régimen genocida de Hitler.

Solo un dato que muestra quién venció de verdad a los nazis: 3 de cada 4 soldados nazis muertos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, murieron a manos del Ejército Rojo.

Who says drifting is just for cars? Watch as the massive USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) executes a high-speed tactical maneuver, seemingly “drifting” this incredible 100,000-ton supercarrier across the water.

The Pacific (2010) doesn’t get as much love as Band of Brothers, but it’s a great show in its own right. So gripping, brutal, and beautifully made.
What’s an HBO series (that’s not The Wire, The Sopranos or GOT) that y’all would recommend?

During the Jurassic Era, I had a very old VHS of the Pacific War episode of the series "World at War", which was the only source I had for footage like this. (saw it and re-saw it until the tape died)

German submarine films New York City coastline.

Soon after the United States entered the war against Japan and Germany, Admiral Karl Dönitz launched a bold submarine offensive. Six U-boats were dispatched into American and Canadian waters under Operation Paukenschlag (Drumbeat), reighters before they could reinforce Britain’s fragile supply lines and aiming to rattle the American home front.

Among the most dramatic actions came from Captain Reinhard Hardegen, whose U-123 sank two ships off Long Island and carried him within sight of New York City. On January 14, 1942, approaching Lower Bay, Hardegen gazed at Manhattan’s glowing skyline, later recalling the moment as breathtaking—marking the first time a German soldier beheld the U.S. coast during the war.
