Prior to his death, Northrop employees working on the Black Project "Aurora" were able to get Jack Northrop clearance to see the aircraft. Aurora would then become what we now know as the B-2 Bomber. Jack Northrop would pass away shortly after in 1981. Seeing the B-2 reportedly meant a lot to Jack Northrop, who's company had designed both the YB-35 and YB-49 flying wing prototype bombers in the 1940s and 1950s.

Following Pope Urban II’s famous call to reclaim the Holy Land at the Council of Clermont in 1095, Peter took to the countryside. Riding from village to village on a donkey, his fiery, apocalyptic preaching quickly ignited the People's Crusade (or the Crusade of the Poor).

Unlike the official armies of armored knights organized by European nobility, Peter gathered a massive, undisciplined force estimated at 20,000 to 40,000 people largely composed of impoverished peasants, women, and children.

As Peter’s unruly army marched across Europe toward Constantinople, parts of his faction, alongside other crusader bands, engaged in brutal, unprovoked pogroms against Jewish communities in cities like Cologne, Mainz, and Worms.

On October 21, 1096, they were completely decimated at the Battle of Civetot. Peter survived only because he had temporarily returned to Constantinople to secure supplies.

The Crusader army faced extreme famine, disease, and heavy casualties while besieging the city of Antioch, leading widespread desperation and desertions across the ranks

As a prominent spiritual leader of the Crusade who had previously led the People's Crusade, Peter himself slipped out of the camp to try to escape the misery.

Peter was caught and brought back to the camp—famously by Tancred or under orders from the crusader leadership—which severely damaged his initial glowing reputation among the chroniclers and troops. Though he would later be redeemed and continues to serve the latin forces untip their capture of Jerusalem in 1099

Submarine M2 was one of 3 M-Class submarines. M2 was outfitted with a small hanger which could fit a small biplane that could be launched from the deck after its wings were unfolded.

On the 26. January 1932 Submarine M2 was out on a training exercise. The last transmission received was at 10:11 reporting that they would perform a dive at 10:30.

The merchant ship Tynesider, would later witness the submarine diving stern first into the water.

After reaching port and not realizing the significance of this, the captain casually asked the harbourmaster if it was normal for submarines to dive backwards. It was not.

After the wreckage was found 8 days later, it was discovered that the hangar doors were open with the aircraft still inside.

It is believed that either the crew opened the hangar doors too soon while there was still water on deck or that the stern hydroplanes failed, which would have caused the stern to move downward, allowing water to enter through the open hangar doors.

Interestingly, the M-Class of submarine, is a refit of the notorious K-Class of submarine. Which was known for being incredibly uncomfortable and unsafe. Out of 18 built, 6 would be lost during accidents. Only one K-Class submarine would ever engage an enemy, hitting a submarine amidships but it's torpedo failed to detonate.

Several K-Class submarines would also partake in the infamous Battle of May Island. An accident where a series of collisions caused the sinking of 2 and the damaging of 4 K-Class submarines as well as damage to one scout cruiser.

Edit: I made a mistake, the M-Class is not a retrofit of the K-Class, the last K-Class submarines (K18-K21) were canceled and they used the same allocation to instead build the M-Class. Only 2 out of the 3 ordered M-Class subs were built.

Technically yeah, but they weren’t literally shooting each other on the opposite sides of the Trenches...still a cool coincidence though.

Congrulation you can scare all Mummies !

After the Allied forces liberated Nazi concentration camps in 1945, they discovered horrifying evidence of the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime. The camps contained thousands of dead bodies, starving prisoners, and survivors suffering from severe malnutrition and disease. The scale of the suffering shocked Allied soldiers and revealed the terrible consequences of Nazi persecution and mass murder.

In response, Allied commanders ordered German civilians from nearby towns and villages to visit several concentration camps, including Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen, and Dachau. Many civilians were forced to walk through the camps and witness the bodies of the victims, crematoria, and other evidence of the crimes committed there. The purpose was to confront the local population with the reality of Nazi atrocities rather than allow them to deny or ignore what had happened

At Buchenwald, American forces brought more than a thousand German civilians from the nearby city of Weimar to see the camp in April 1945. They were shown evidence of the prisoners' suffering and the mass deaths that had taken place. British forces carried out similar measures at Bergen-Belsen, where thousands of corpses remained unburied when the camp was liberated. German civilians and captured SS personnel were ordered to help bury the dead, including in mass graves, both to provide the victims with burials and to address the urgent health risks.

In other locations, German civilians were also forced to witness the burial of victims murdered during Nazi death marches. These victims included Jewish prisoners who had been evacuated from concentration camps as Allied forces advanced into Germany. Local residents were sometimes ordered to attend funerals or help bury the victims, ensuring that the dead were not simply left abandoned. These actions served as a public confrontation with the consequences of Nazi persecution and mass murder.

The Allies used these measures to expose Nazi crimes, challenge the influence of Nazi propaganda, and support the postwar process of denazification. However, not every German civilian had the same knowledge of or involvement in these atrocities. The forced visits were intended to make the crimes visible to the public and to ensure that the suffering of the victims could not easily be denied or forgotten.

Context: during the sinking of the Titanic, some of the nearby ships were... less useful than others in the rescue operation.

SS Frankfurt: The German Marconi operators not only needed to translate from morse code, but also English. They had little idea what was happening and kept asking "What happened?" Over and over again while the Titanic was actively trying to coordinate with other ships.

SS Birma: They received false coordinates from the Titanic and didn't catch the message when the typo was corrected. They went to the wrong spot only to see that it was covered in pack ice.

RMS Baltic: They received the message and went full steam ahead. Unfortunately they were 243 miles away and only made it half way before the survivors were already rescued.

RMS Olympic: Just after the Titanic mentioned that they were letting women and children into lifeboats, the Olympic responded by asking about the weather conditions. Apparently the response was "quite calm". Entirely reasonable question to ask, but the juxtaposition is funny.

RMS Carpathia: The protagonist of our story, The Carpathia was pushed itself to 17.5 (2.5 knots above its maximum regular speed) in the hopes of saving at least some of the survivors. The boiler of the ship was so damaged by the ordeal that it was never able to go at its regular max speed ever again.

SS Californian: The closest ship to the Titanic unfortunately had only one radio operator that night and he was asleep. The crew saw distress rockets and assumed they were in celebration of the maiden voyage. By the time they realized it was sinking, it was far too late.
