       Around Cape Horn 1928
       All credit to Mystic Seaport videos for creating this wonderful
       film.  They should have a dedicated utube channel for there
       films as we may be missing some classics.
       A rare and wonderful part of history capturing a square-rigged
       ship in full motion.
       This incredible film was made by Captain Irving Johnson in 1928,
       when he was but a swabby before the mast.
       --- Quote ---
       > It would be impossible for the non-mariner to understand
       phenomena such as sailing into a Hurricane. For reference, I
       quote a passage from The American Practical Navigator – “As the
       center of the storm comes closer, the ever stronger winds shriek
       through the rigging, and about the superstructure of the vessel.
       As the center approaches, rain falls in torrents. The wind fury
       increases. The seas become mountainous. The tops of huge waves
       are blown off to mingle with rain and fill the air with water.
       Visibility is near zero in blinding rain and spray. Even the
       largest and most seaworthy vessels become virtually
       unmanageable, and may sustain heavy damage. Less sturdy vessels
       may not survive. Navigation stops as safety of the vessel
       becomes the only consideration. The awesome fury of this
       condition can only be experienced. Words are inadequate to
       describe it.” -- Captain John Loftus

       AGelbert NOTE: As dangerous and deadly as the seas shown in the
       above video were, with Catastrophic Climate Change now upon us,
       the oceans will become practically impossible for modern ship
       hulls to withstand (learn more below).

       Missions That Changed The War: Enola Gay, The Doolittle Raid and
       the Flying Tigers Missions in China.
       Hear stories from the voices of the heroes and aces at the very
       center of the action. Narrated by Gary Sinise.
       The Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named after
       Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Colonel Paul
       Tibbets. On 6 August 1945, piloted by Tibbets and Robert A.
       Lewis during the final stages of World War II, it became the
       first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb in warfare. The bomb,
       code-named "Little Boy", was targeted at the city of Hiroshima,
       Japan, and caused the destruction of about three quarters of the
       city. Enola Gay participated in the second nuclear attack as the
       weather reconnaissance aircraft for the primary target of
       Kokura. Clouds and drifting smoke resulted in a secondary
       target, Nagasaki, being bombed instead.
       After the war, the Enola Gay returned to the United States,
       where it was operated from Roswell Army Air Field, New Mexico.
       In May 1946, it was flown to Kwajalein for the Operation
       Crossroads nuclear tests in the Pacific, but was not chosen to
       make the test drop at Bikini Atoll. Later that year it was
       transferred to the Smithsonian Institution, and spent many years
       parked at air bases exposed to the weather and souvenir hunters,
       before being disassembled and transported to the Smithsonian's
       storage facility in Maryland, in 1961.
       The Doolittle Raid, also known as the Tokyo Raid, was an air
       raid on 18 April 1942 by the United States on the Japanese
       capital Tokyo and other places on Honshu during World War II. It
       was the first air operation to strike the Japanese archipelago.
       Although the raid caused comparatively minor damage it
       demonstrated that the Japanese mainland was vulnerable to
       American air attacks. It served as retaliation for the 7
       December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, and provided an important
       boost to American morale. The raid was planned by, led by, and
       named after Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle (later a
       Lieutenant General in the US Army Air Forces and the US Air
       Force Reserve).
       Under the final plan, 16 B-25B Mitchell medium bombers, each
       with a crew of five, were launched from the US Navy aircraft
       carrier USS Hornet, in the Pacific Ocean, off Japan. There was
       to be no fighter escort. After bombing military and industrial
       targets in Japan, the B-25 crews were to continue westward to
       land in China.
       --- Quote ---
       > Total crew casualties: 3 KIA: 2 off the coast of China, 1 in
       China; 8 POW: 3 executed, 1 died in captivity, 4 repatriated.

       --- Quote ---
       > Only 3 of the 16 crews failed to reach Chungking. Capt. Edwin
       J. York, who had led the third flight of planes into Tokyo, was
       desperately short of fuel and was forced to land near
       Vladivostok. He and his crew were interned by the Soviets in
       various locations for more than a year before they managed to
       “escape” into British- and Soviet-occupied Iran. Their “escape”
       was, in fact, an elaborate NKVD operation that had been staged
       to repatriate the Americans while giving the Soviets plausible
       deniability with the Japanese, with whom they were still
       nonbelligerent. Two crews were captured by Japanese forces in
       China after bailing out, one near the coast and one near Lake
       Poyang. The Chinese attempted to purchase the freedom of the
       captured air crews, but they were unsuccessful. Four of the
       raiders remained prisoners of the Japanese until the end of the
       war. One, Lieut. Robert J. Meder, died of dysentery in 1943.
       Three—Lieut. Dean Hallmark, Lieut. William Farrow, and Sgt.
       Harold Spatz—were executed by the Japanese in October 1942.

       The raid on Japan killed about 50 people and injured 400,
       including civilians. Damage to Japanese military and industrial
       targets was minimal but the raid had major psychological
       effects. In the United States, it raised morale; in Japan, it
       raised fear and doubt about the ability of military leaders to
       defend the home islands, but the bombing and strafing of
       civilians also steeled Japanese resolve to gain retribution, and
       this was exploited for propaganda purposes.[4] It also pushed
       forward Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's plans to attack Midway Island
       in the Central Pacific, an attack that turned into a decisive
       defeat of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) by the US Navy in the
       Battle of Midway. The consequences were most severely felt in
       China, where Japanese reprisals caused the deaths of 250,000
       civilians and 70,000 soldiers.

       Raid, Richard “Dick” Cole, died last week at the age of 103. He
       was Lt. Colonel James “Jimmy” Doolittle’s co-pilot.

       The Flying Tigers:
       In China’s most desperate hour, Chiang Kai-Shek turns to the
       United States for help. The Japanese are bombing Chinese
       population centers mercilessly. China’s decimated air force is
       powerless to stop them. Chiang dispatches his American
       consultant - former U.S. Army Air Corps officer Claire L.
       Chennault - to obtain the airplanes and pilots needed to defend
       China. Tex Hill resigns his Navy Commission and volunteers.
       A small group of American aviators fought in their first battle
       in World War II.
       Their mission was unusual: They were mercenaries hired by China
       to fight against Japan.
       They were called the American Volunteer Group and later became
       known as the Flying Tigers. Though only in combat for less than
       seven months, the group became famous at the time for its
       ability to inflict outsize damage on Japan's better-equipped and
       larger aircraft fleet.
       Their victories came when Japan seemed unstoppable. The AVG was
       a bright spot in history when everything was bleak and black,
       and they have received a lot of recognition for that.
       In the West, 1939 is considered the start of World War II. But
       in Asia, China and Japan had been at war since 1937.
       China was already fighting its own civil war between the
       Nationalists of Chiang Kai-shek and Communist forces. The two
       sides came to a truce to fight against the Japanese. China,
       however, had little air power to fend off Japanese bombings.
       Enter Claire Lee Chennault, a U.S. Army aviator, instructor and
       tactician, once described by Time magazine as "lean,
       hard-bitten, taciturn." Health problems and disputes with his
       superiors pushed him into retirement from his position with the
       Army Air Corps in 1937, at age 43.

       During WWII, 6000 young Americans volunteered to fly large
       unarmed cargo gliders into battle. For these glider pilots every
       mission was do-or-die. It was their task to repeatedly risk
       their lives landing the men and tools of war deep within
       enemy-held territory, often in complete darkness. Thousands of
       lives were saved and battles won because of their efforts. In
       fact, one pilot interviewed said - the 'G' in their emblem
       didn't stand for glider; it stood for 'guts.' Features include:
       - Virtual walk-through tour of the Silent Wings Museum in
       Lubbock, Texas - Interview with Robert Child about the project
       and putting the film together.

       [move]Günther Rall, Germany's Last WW2 Ace. FULL DOCUMENTARY |
       Amazing Stories of WW2, in their own words.[/move]
       You could say that history repeats itself. This wonderful
       documentary, filmed by our partners at Air2AirTV (air2airtv.com)
       is also masterfully narrated by Gary Sinise.
       Günther Rall (10 March 1918 – 4 October 2009) was a highly
       decorated German military aviator, officer and General, whose
       military career spanned nearly forty years. Rall was the third
       most successful fighter pilot in aviation history, behind
       Gerhard Barkhorn, who is second, and Erich Hartmann, who is
       first.
       Rall was born in Gaggenau, the German Empire, in March 1918.
       Rall grew up in the Weimar Republic. In 1933 the Nazi Party
       seized power and Rall, deciding upon a military career, joined
       the Wehrmacht in 1936 to train as an infantry soldier. Rall
       transferred to the Luftwaffe soon after and he qualified as a
       fighter pilot in 1938.
       In September 1939 World War II began with the German invasion of
       Poland. Rall was assigned to Jagdgeschwader 52 (JG 52—52nd
       Fighter Wing) and flew combat patrols in the Phoney War period
       on the Western Front. Rall flew combat missions in the Battle of
       France and Battle of Britain, claiming one enemy aircraft
       destroyed in May 1940. Rall's wing sustained heavy casualties
       and the then-22 year old was appointed to Staffelkapitän
       (squadron leader). He then served in the Balkans Campaign in
       April and May 1941 without success.
       In June 1941, JG 52 moved to the Eastern Front, where it
       remained from Operation Barbarossa until the end of the war.
       Rall claimed his first successes in the air defense of Romania.
       In November 1941, he was shot down, wounded and invalidated from
       flying for a year. At this time Rall had claimed 36 aerial
       victories. His achievements earned him the German Cross in Gold
       in December 1941.
       Rall returned in August 1942 and was awarded the Knight's Cross
       of the Iron Cross on 3 September 1942 for 65 enemy aircraft shot
       down. By 22 October Rall had claimed 100 and received the
       Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves. He reached 200 in late August
       1943. On 12 September 1943 he was awarded the Knight's Cross of
       the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords, the second highest
       military award in Nazi Germany at the time of the presentation.
       By the end of 1943 Rall had achieved over 250, the second flier
       to do so after Walter Nowotny did in October 1943.
       In April 1944 Rall left JG 52 and the Eastern Front. He was
       given command of II. Gruppe (2nd group) of Jagdgeschwader 11 and
       served in the Defense of the Reich where he was wounded for a
       third time. In November 1944 Rall was appointed as an instructor
       and flew captured Allied fighter aircraft in order to prepare
       instruction notes on their performance to German fighter pilots.
       Rall ended the war with an unsuccessful stint commanding
       Jagdgeschwader 300 (JG 300—300th Fighter Wing) near Salzburg,
       Austria, where he surrendered in May 1945.
       Rall remained in a prisoner of war camp for a matter of weeks.
       Rall was approached by the Americans who were recruiting
       Luftwaffe pilots who had experience with the Messerschmitt Me
       262 fighter.[104] He was transferred to Bovingdon near Hemel
       Hempstead, and then based at RAF Tangmere, where he met the RAF
       fighter pilot Robert Stanford Tuck, with whom he became close
       friends.
       After his release, Rall settled back into civilian life working
       for Siemens & Halske as a salesman from July 1947 to May 1948.
       In 1948 he visited England again. Rall accompanied Hertha Rall
       and stayed in Grosvenor Square with Dr Paul Kaspar and Jewish
       acquaintances, whom she had helped to escape from the Nazis.
       Rall knew of Hertha's wartime Jewish connections and was
       concerned it would attract the attention of Nazi authorities. In
       1943, Hertha was suspected of Jewish sympathies by the Gestapo,
       but no action was taken.
       Of Nazi &#9760;&#65039; crimes, Rall acknowledged the pilots at
       the front knew of Nazi concentration camps but didn't know
       exactly what they were used for. When he first heard of
       Auschwitz and the Holocaust, initially he believed it to be
       propaganda. Rall could not believe that Germans would do such
       &#9760;&#65039; things. The criminal nature of the
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-120422122619-6812456.gif<br
       />Nazi Party did not occur to Rall when Hitler came to power;
       "The
       fact that we did not explore the essence of the Nazi regime when
       it came to power is, of course, one of our great failings."
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-090422150144.png
       During World War II Rall was credited with the destruction of
       275 enemy aircraft in 621 combat missions. He was shot down five
       times and wounded on three occasions. Rall claimed all of his
       victories in a Messerschmitt Bf 109, though he also flew the
       Focke-Wulf Fw 190 operationally. All but three of his claims
       were against Soviet opposition.

       In December 1944, the Allies have pushed back the Third Reich to
       it's own borders. The Fuhrer grows desperate for a decisive
       victory to defeat the western Allies so he can turn his full
       attention to the Eastern Front. He plans an ambitious dash
       through the Ardennes to take the city of Antwerp, trapping the
       British and Canadian armies in the Netherlands in a massive
       pocket, and forcing the western Allies to enter a peace
       settlement. Three German Panzer Armies are secretly assembled at
       a quiet sector of the front, and on the 16th December 1944, the
       panzers launch their assault.

       The strategically important road junction of Bastogne is
       surrounded. The 101st Airborne, and elements of the 10th Armored
       Division and 705th Tank Destroyer Battalion must defend the town
       from attacks from all sides, to ensure that German armour and
       supply lines can't use the town to reach the frontlines. But
       soon, the weather will lift, and allied air power can help to
       turn the tide.

       With the return of Allied Air Power to the skies above the
       failing German Ardennes offensive, the Fuhrer grows desperate.
       He rallies all available Luftwaffe units on the western front
       for one final assault against the Allied Air Forces. After being
       caught by surprise on the ground, the RAF, RCAF and USAAF
       respond, and devastate the attacking German aircraft.

       It's a story of survival on a desert island--and it helped
       change the course of WWII! Within hours of the 1941 attack on
       Pearl Harbor, about 1,600 US marines and civilians found
       themselves under attack, in "Wake Island: The Alamo Of The
       Pacific."

       Our dear family friend Richard &#11088; was a civilian
       contractor on Wake when the Japanese Attacked. He chose to help
       the Marines and hauled munitions and helped move guns between
       attacks When captured, he and his people were tied up with wire
       by the Japanese. To

       beheading of a comrade.
       He was transported to Japan and under horrific conditions,
       worked in a coal mine as a slave. He was liberated in 1945, and
       I was privileged to meet him at my Bruce's wedding. He was
       quiet, strong and dignified. Foot note: most Japanese who
       committed war crimes against Asia and Allied forces were never
       brought to justice. The rest of Richards coworkers were taken to

       created an SS penal battalion known variously as
       SS-Sonderkommando Dirlewanger, SS Sondereinheit Dirlewanger, the
       Dirlewanger Brigade, the [shadow=red,left]&#9760;&#65039; Black
       Hunters[/shadow], or the 36th SS Grenadier Division. This unit
       was full of criminals who took part in numerous "anti-partisan"
       operations in Belarus, Slovakia, and Hungary. It also engaged
       the Polish Home Army and civilians at Warsaw. This is the
       history of the unit and its commander.

       If you think the morally bankrupt ideology embraced by NAZI
       Germany has "gone away", you need a reality check. MOST
       corporate CEOs in 2023 are on the same morally bankrupt ideology
       "page" as Hitler was.
       The consequences of a flawed evolutionary paradigm are severly
       deleterious to rational  and logical thinking in modern society.
       Capitalists fail to connect the negative consequences of
       predatory capitalist, rampant planetary exploition with the
       Darwinian irrational pseudo-scientific concept of a mad scramble
       for resources by amino acids magically "self assembling in a
       totally random manner" (there is ZERO scientific evidence for
       that atheist wishful thinking) resulting in the giant truck that
       is running us over now.

       It's MIGHTY convenient for the conscience free psychos that
       fathered GAME THEORY (a twisted view of interrelationships
       between sentient beings justifying any and all heinous and
       barbaric behavior in the quest for who gets the most toys
       "caloric intake, etc") to have DARWIN around to make everything
       jes' natural behavior.
       Think about it:
       Darwin--> Wall Street "scientific" fig leaf
       hijacking-->Freud-->Game Theory, a PARADIGM DESIGNED TO REPLACE
       the GOLDEN RULE as the most rational and species perpetuating
       behavior (the "fittest") is PRECISELY WHAT IS BEHIND the LACK OF
       GUILT by the 1% for TRASHING THE PLANET!

       The holistic altruism, cooperation and sustainability view of
       every process to see its value in the biosphere from the birth
       of new life to the decay of dead matter, NECESSARY for that
       future new life, is ABSENT from the modern paradigmatic view of
       SUCCESS. It's SUICIDAL and [glow=red,2,300]CRIMINALLY
       INSANE[/glow].
       But they won't let it go because, because... THEY KNOW it will
       lead to GUILT, LIABILITY and an END to the con games denying
       reality. Treating other humans as you wish to be treated is not
       optional if we wish to survive as a species.
       Survival of the "fittest", NO! Survival of the altruistic, YES!
