Oh I'm not saying I consider Intelligent extra-terrestrial life as something unlikely. Being alone in this vast space would be surprising. (Especially given the occurrence of complex organic on such hostile areas as comets.) Nor that a dyson swarm would not be hypothetically (although Outlandish) possible.

I was merely pointing out that this article looks like a classic click-bait. Like how articles about stuff like Quantum Teleportation will sometimes include a picture of the Star-Trek teleporter

Ah, there goes your couch. The book is 13 pounds- that's a big shipping fee.

I would also recommend Zhitomir-Berdichev. It's very COH2-era ish.

The Armored Campaign in Normandy (Napier) is a good compilation of all major armored actions in one book. I wish it was more detailed, though.

I read Tomb of the PzWaffe- it was pretty good but too short of details.

STOP TRYING TO DESTROY MY FINANCES!!!!!

Came across this gem here Interview with a Soviet tanker. He operated on Sherman tanks so thats quite interesting. (Quality of these articles may vary)




. Here is an incident from Hungary. We had a trophy German "letuchka" (light maintenance truck). We had penetrated into the German rear in column. We were going along a road and our light truck had fallen back. Then another light German truck, just like our own, attached itself to the back of our column. A while later our column halted. I was walking down the column, checking vehicles.
"Is everything in order?" Everything was fine. I approached the last vehicle in the column and asked, "Sasha, is everything OK?" In response I heard "Was?" What was this? Germans! I immediately jumped to the side and cried out "Germans!" We surrounded them, a driver and two others.
We disarmed them and only then did our own light truck come up the road. I said, "Sasha, where were you?" He responded, "We got lost." "Well, look," I said to him, "Here is another light truck for you!"


I can only imagine the Germans before this:

"Hans, admit it we are lost! We should have gone the other way"

"No we arent. Look! There is a column of our guys, see I told you this was the way"

Alright I found this tidbit in an article about failed hangings. It takes place in Marseille in the early 14th century, written down in 1315.


We have Raymond of Uzes and a man called Etienne. Regular guys basically, and they are arguing the location of the relics of Mary Magdalen and where they are buried.
Raymond claims they are located in Saint-Maximin in Provence, whilst Etienne believes they are in Vezelay in Bourgogne.
This discussion goes out of hand for some reason and Raymond murders Etienne.

Raymond is convicted and sentenced to hang. As would be the norm.
Anyway when he drops at the gallows the gallows drops with him and the whole thing collapses.
This of course can only mean one thing for the good people of Marseille. Divine intervention, of course Maria Magdalene wanted to protect the truth sayer and had saved him. Raymond is let go.

Keep that in mind when worrying about modern day discussions on the interwebs or in politics being ridiculous, it doesn't end in a murder and execution.

(FYI Supposed relics of Mary Magdalene are held both at Saint-Maximin and Vezelay, and that was true in 1300 as well)
