A whole baby woolly mammoth was found frozen in the permafrost of north-western Canada - the first such discovery in N. America. The mummified ice age mammoth is thought to be more than 30,000 years old. Dr Zazula said Nun cho ga — measuring just 140 centimetres in length — was only between 30 and 35 days old when she died about 35,000 to 40,000 years ago. In a statement, the government of Yukon and the Indigenous group Trʼondëk Hwëchʼi said that Nun cho ga would have roamed the Yukon with wild horses, cave lions and giant steppe bison. Geologists from the Yukon Geological Survey and the University of Calgary suggested Nun cho ga died and was frozen in permafrost during the Ice Age, more than 30,000 years ago. Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin Chief Roberta Joseph described the discovery as "remarkable". "We look forward to collaborating with the Yukon government on the next steps in the process for moving forward with these remains in a way that honours our tradition...

Tomoyuki Yamashita, Yamashita Tomoyuki, 8 November 1885 – 23 February 1946; also called Tomobumi Yamashita was a Japanese convicted war criminal and general in the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Yamashita led Japanese forces during the invasion of Malaya and Battle of Singapore, his conquest of Malaya and Singapore in 70 days earned him the sobriquet "The Tiger of Malaya" and led to the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill calling the ignominious fall of Singapore to Japan the "worst disaster" and "largest capitulation" in British military history.  Yamashita was assigned to defend the Philippines from the advancing Allies later in the war. Although he was unable to prevent the superior Allied forces from advancing, despite dwindling supplies and Allied guerrilla action, he was able to hold on to part of Luzon until after the formal Surrender of Japan in August 1945. After the war, Yamashita was tried for war crimes commit...

I have never read anything more horrific than this The photo below  shows Italian General Alexandro Luzano standing above a slaughtered Serbian child in front of a school in Prebilovci. The letter he sent to Mussolini after this crime has been preserved in the military archives: "Dear Duce, My boundless devotion to you, I hope, entitles me to deviate in some way from strict military protocol. That is why I hasten to describe to you an event that I personally attended three weeks ago.

I miss the words to describe what I found there. In the big school classroom, I found a slaughte...

THE HEROIC STORY OF A GREAT AUSTRALIAN WAR HERO, WHO CARRIED 12 WOUNDED AMERICAN SOLDIERS A truly great Australian war hero, who carried 12 wounded American soldiers to safety down the slopes of Mount Tambu, New Guinea, during the Wau - Salamaua campaign, in WW2. Corporal Leslie ‘Bull’ Allen MM, a stretcher bearer in the 2/5th Australian Infantry Battalion, was awarded the US Silver Star for his bravery. The highest honour possible for a non-American.  First lady Eleanor Roosevelt was one of many to write him a letter of gratitude. During the American assault against the Japanese on Mount Tambu, more than 50 American soldiers were wounded. Two medics were killed trying to retrieve them. What is truly extraordinary, Australians were not supposed to be involved in the fighting, but Corporal Allen, who became aware of the many American casualties, was determined to do what he could.  He decided to go up and start carrying men out one at a time over his shoulder th...

Shocking In 1967, Otis Redding finished recording the song "Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay" Tragically, 72 hours later he died in a plane crash at the age of 26. When the phone rang at the Stax/Volt studios in Memphis in late November of 1967, guitarist Steve Cropper was surprised to hear Otis Redding on the other end, calling from the airport. "Usually Otis would check into the Holiday Inn or whatever hotel he was staying at and then he'd call for me to come over and do some writing," Cropper recalls. But this time Redding was too excited to wait. "I've got a hit," he told Cropper, so he wanted to come straight to the studio to flesh his idea out into a full-fledged song. Redding started writing the lyrics to the song in August 1967, while sitting on a rented houseboat in Sausalito, California. He completed the song in Memphis with the help of Cropper, who was a Stax producer and the guitarist for Booker T. & the M.G's. ...

WAR’S END German prisoners get moved toward a collection point near Avranches, France, in a photograph taken on Aug. 2, 1944. A town in Normandy near the base of the Cotentin Peninsula, Avranches was liberated by the Allies on July 31 as part of Operation Cobra. Aimed to hit the Germans with American forces on the western part of the Cotentin while the British and Canadians were fighting around Caen to the northeast, Cobra was the responsibility of Brig. Gen. Omar Bradley, commander of the U.S. First Army. Before the operation, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander Allied Expeditionary Forces, wrote Bradley, “Pursue every advantage with an ardour verging on recklessness and with all your troops without fear of major counteroffensives from the forces the enemy now has on his front. The results will be incalculable.” “This Cobra thing must be bold,” Bradley said. “If the thing goes as it should, we ought to be in Avranches in a week.” To some that must have seemed o...

This German General Made A Deal With  The Devil German General Ludwig Beck supported the Nazis—until he didn’t. He paid with his life. General Ludwig Beck initially embraced Hitler as a means to make Germany great again. Eventually he resigned from the Wehrmacht and joined a plot to kill the Führer. (Ullstein Bild via Getty Images) Ludwig August Theodor Beck was the Third Reich’s most enigmatic and tragic senior general. As the first chief of the resurrected German Army General Staff in 1935, he played a leading role in building the post-World War I rump-Reichswehr into the Wehrmacht of World War II. He was a brilliant military thinker and the primary author of the 1933 operations manual  Truppenführung  ( Unit Command ), which remained the foundation of Germany’s war-fighting doctrine until 1945—and beyond. Yet Beck became a staunch anti-Nazi who opposed the politicization of the army and many of Hitler’s plans for large-scale wars of conquest. After retiring...

He was condemned to hang as a war criminal in 1946 but took his own life instead Inside the cells:  The prison psychologist remembers On 3 January 1946, Albert Speer disrupted Göring's united front by announcing that he had attempted to assassinate Hitler in February, and planned to deliver Himmler to the allies. Gustave Gilbert interviewed Göring and Speer in their cells soon afterwards. Göring's cell Tonight Göring looked tired and depressed. "This was a bad day," he said. "Damn that stupid fool, Speer! Did you see how he disgraced himself in court today? How could he stoop so low as to do such a rotten thing to save his lousy neck? I nearly died with shame! To think that Germans will be so rotten to prolong this filthy life. Do you think I give that much o...
