👉Kennt Ihr die "Operation #Bagration"?

Das war der "vergessene #DDay" vor 80 Jahren: die kriegsentscheidende Großoffensive der Roten Armee - die im Westen aber kaum jemand kennt. #dday80 #ddayremembrance

Ich auf @riffreporter über die größte Niederlage der Wehrmacht - und warum das für die Ukraine heute wichtig ist:

The Economist · A D-Day commemoration that was not just about beating Hitler By The Economist

It is the 80th anniversary of D-Day (or was yesterday, depending on where you are). Here is a medallion commemorating the 40th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Arnhem (Netherlands), from D-Day 1944.

D-Day (The battle of Normandy) happened on the 6th June 1944. After sweeping North through occupied France and Belgium, the allies fought the battle of Arnheim in the Netherlands in September that year.

D-Day and nuclear radiation:

American military leaders were aware of the dangers of radioactive particles long before #Hiroshima or #Trinity.

On #DDay there was a special unit, Operation Peppermint, that came ashore in Normandy with Geiger Counters in anticipation that the Nazis might "pepper" the beaches with uranium particles to sicken and slow the invasion.

Militarization of radioactive particles predated fission weapons.

The second also dates from 1984 and appears to have been part of the same supplement. But it's a reproduction of the front page of the Daily Mail from June 7th 1944. D-Day +1.

Less historically important than an original maybe, but still something weird to be able to hold in my hands. (Even if it has been nibbled by at least one mouse).

"Why are you telling us this Keab?" I hear the ones of you cry.

Well today is the 80th anniversary of #DDay. So I thought I'd show you two relevant papers I found.

The first is from 1984 celebrating 40 years of D-Day.

The front page of a 4-page Daily Mail supplement celebrating 40 years since D-Day
The 2nd page of a 4-page Daily Mail supplement celebrating 40 years since D-Day
The 3rd page of a 4-page Daily Mail supplement celebrating 40 years since D-Day

We’re the D-Day Dodgers out in Italy,
Always on the vino, always on the spree…

—“The Ballad of the D-Day Dodgers”, a #WW2 soldiers’ song collected by Hamish Henderson

Sung by Rod Paterson

(The term “D-Day Dodger”, an insulting reference to Allied troops fighting in Italy in 1944, was widely attributed to Viscountess Astor, a Conservative MP – although she denied saying it & there is no record of her using this phrase)
