An event that is greatly appreciated and honored by Americans of subsequent generations for the sacrifices and bravery of the "Exceptional Generation" of WWII veterans of whom very few remain alive today. My only regret is that the contributions and sacrifices of the Red Army go largely ignored in the annual D-Day celebrations, when in fact were it not for Russian advances on the Eastern Front, D-Day could never have taken place when it did. The Soviets probably killed The Soviets killed probably 2,8 million German (born) soldiers and German auxiliary troops in battle or died of their wounds, helped by their allies like Polish, Rumanian and Bulgarian troops. Another 1.1 million German born soldiers died in Soviet custody (50% during the war and 50% after the war). Estimates of Russians killed by Germans range in the millions- some say as high as 20 million died fighting the Wehrmacht and driving them back to Poland and eventually to Berlin. No Western leader has ever attended a Russian Victory Day celebration and no Russian leader has ever been invited to a D-Day commemoration.
Exactly 80 years ago, more than 150,000 Allied troops launched Operation Overlord, the massive invasion of Normandy that would turn the tide of World War II. Starting today at 6:30 a.m. CT, The National WWII Museum will commemorate the anniversary of D-Day with a full slate of events on our campus. Watch select events here: https://bit.ly/48P6WX0 #DDay80

[pdf] German Commanders of World War 2 (Men-At-Arms Series, No. 124) Anthony Kemp digsell https://lnkd.in/dnsHA9ir This fascinating study by Anthony Kemp outlines the careers and characters of a number of senior German commanders. To those who read military history many of the names are familiar. It is a paradox, however, that few biographies have been written. The impression still exists today of German generals as stiff-necked, scar-faced, monocled Prussians. Whilst in a few cases this was certainly true, the fact remains that all of them were men, some more ordinary than others. With a variety of photographs, eight full-page colour plates by Angus McBride, accompanied by ten pages of commentaries, this is a first-class addition … Read More » https://lnkd.in/dSSb-cSf

📚 Just finished reading a gripping book that delves into the horror of war and the consequential history of the Bomber Mafia. Described the chilling accounts of incendiary bombs over Tokyo during WWII. "The Bomber Mafia: A Tale of Death, Deception, and the Rise of Precision Bombing" by Malcolm Gladwell sheds light on a pivotal era in military history. It explores the complex decisions made by a group of visionary airmen who questioned the traditional methods of warfare. Their pursuit of precision bombing and the use of incendiary bombs during the Tokyo raids had far-reaching implications, both strategically and morally. Gladwell's masterful storytelling brings to life the immense challenges faced by the Bomber Mafia and the haunting consequences of their actions. Through meticulous research and engaging narratives, he paints a vivid picture of the harrowing reality faced by civilians and combatants alike during wartime. While the book focuses on the historical context of WWII, it raises important questions about the moral and strategic dilemmas faced by nations when it comes to the use of force and the impact of warfare on civilian populations. #WarHorror #BomberMafia #PrecisionBombing #WWIIHistory #MustRead #BookRecommendation #HistoricalNonfiction #WarEthics #ConflictResolution #PeacefulSolutions #ProtectCivilians #HistoricalRelevance

Regimental Museum Liaison and UPAR @ The Brockville Rifles, & Student @ The Royal Military College of Canada
As some may have noticed, there has been an uptick in my posting frequency on LinkedIn with relation to Military History and Strategy. For those who don’t know, last year I enrolled at Royal Military College of Canada/Collège militaire royal du Canada and will be transitioning from the Military Police to a new occupation as an Infantry Officer. My program is heavily focused on military history, defence policy, and military strategy. Very quickly, it has left me with a lot of thoughts, opinions, and stories that I enjoy sharing. I have started a Substack, as well some social media pages called Campaigns, Conquests, & Conflicts where I will post articles, stories, etc. similar to those I’ve already been posting. Some will be based on assignments I’ve had to complete, and others will be based on personal interests. My goal is to have somewhere I can put down my thoughts and engage in healthy conversations with others on military history, strategy, and defence policy. My Substack can be found below, and thanks to anybody who reads! #MilitaryHistory #WarStudies #BattleAnalysis #MilitaryStrategy #DefensePolicy #HistoricalWarfare #StrategicStudies #WarTactics #MilitaryLeadership #NationalSecurity #HistoricalBattles #MilitaryInsights #DefenseStrategy #Geopolitics #MilitaryAnalysis #WarAndPeace #SecurityStudies #MilitaryResearch #DefenseHistory #MilitaryPolicy
