Germany Hoped Jutland Would End The Royal Navy's Dominance Once And For All
*Warfare History Network* *History, * More than a century after Trafalgar, a wily German set a trap to end Great Britain’s dominance of the high seas during the Battle of Jutland. In the spring of 1916, as the result of intense international pressure, Vice Admiral Reinhard Scheer called in all his submarines after Germany announced an end to unrestricted underwater attacks on transatlantic merchant ships. With his subs idle, Scheer, the newly appointed commander of Kaiser Wilhelm II’s High Seas Fleet, had to come up with another plan for their use. He would send a portion of the ... more »

Like a swarm of ungainly dragonflies, a squadron of six British RE8 observation aircraft droned over the trenches of northern France on the afternoon April 13, 1917.

Trump tries to re-write WW II history
Trump has created a fury when the White House made the above Tweet on May 8. Washington once again attempts to re-write history by claiming that the US and the UK defeated Nazi Germany. But in fact it was the Soviet Union that defeated the Nazi Army. (It was May 8, 1945 in Berlin when Soviet soldiers captured the city and at the same moment it was May 9 in Moscow due to time differences. The Russians claim victory day as May 9.)

*What Scientific Decline?* As a neurobiologist working at a local university for more than 30 years, I read Edward Archer’s provocative critique of scientific research with interest.

Nevertheless, I believe Archer is mistaken in his main claim: U.S. science is not in intellectual decline, and evidence for moral decline is weak. Most basic research in... more »
