Hitler's Secret World War II Weapon: Horses
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Thousands of pack animals and cavalry horses in WWII labored in the German Army, and many were killed in combat or slaughtered by starving soldiers. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Horsemanship was taught at SS academies. By 1939 the German Reich possessed 3,800,000 horses to be used in WWII German cavalry while 885,000 were initially called to the Wehrmacht as saddle, draft, and pack animals. Of these, 435,000 horses were captured from the USSR, France, and Poland. Additional horses were purchased from Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia,...
The Seawolf Submarine Was Built to Best Russia’s Akula-Class
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The Seawolf-class submarines were envisioned as the best submarines ever built. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Seawolf-class submarines are outstanding submarines, but the Cold War mindset at the time of development accepted high performance and consequently high costs to meet a high-level threat. The post–Cold War Virginia class forced the Navy to reign in costs while still producing a progressively better submarine. The Seawolf-class submarines were envisioned as the best submarines ever built. Designed to succeed the Los Angeles–class att...

"Distorted galaxy NGC 2442 can be found in the southern constellation of the flying fish, (Piscis) Volans. Located about 50 million light-years away, the galaxy's two spiral arms extending from a pronounced central bar have a hook-like appearance in wide-field images. But this mosaicked close-up, constructed from Hubble Space Telescope and European Southern Observatory data, follows the galaxy's structure in amazing detail. Obscuring dust lanes, young blue star clusters and reddish star forming regions surround a core of yellowish light from an older population of stars. The sharp i...

“How small a portion of our life it is that we really enjoy. In youth we are looking forward to things that are to come; in old age, we are looking backwards to things that are gone past; in manhood, although we appear indeed to be more occupied in things that are present, yet even that is too often absorbed in vague determinations to be vastly happy on some future day, when we have time.” - Charles Caleb Colton, “Lacon” ○ “The problem is, you believe you have time.” - Buddha ○ *Hans Zimmer, "Time"* Full screen recommended.

In a year already fraught with controversy, it's aposite to dredge up something of a wedge issue: *Super Mario Brothers 2* for the trusty Nintendo Entertainment System. Writing about this game in the 21st century comes with two closely adjacent pitfalls. The first is casting keystrokes over a video game franchise which is the best known, best-selling and, best long-running(?) in all recorded history. Not only is there an aura blazing around it, fizzing with the props for single-handedly reversing the fortunes of video gaming in the United States, its much beloved status, its synony...
