🗣️ Ottó Kornis (1911-1949), also known as Dr. Ottó Kohn, was before World War II a lawyer and journalist in Cluj, Transylvania. In May 1944, he was deported, initially to Auschwitz with his parents, and was the sole survivor of his family. He was later sent to various forced labour camps such as Brieg, Groß-Rosen, Langenbielau and Dörnhau. On his return to his home town, he wrote down his memories and published them. 📝📚 The work entitled "Füst" ("Smoke") was printed in 1945 in Cluj and was one of the first books in the world to deal with the Holocaust. It recounts the inhuman experiences of the concentration camps, the profound suffering and unbearable loss. The book has been published twice: once in 1945 and again in 2019, the latter by the Minerva Cultural Association in Cluj-Napoca. Currently, "Füst" is available exclusively in Hungarian. #HolocaustSurvivor #HolocaustMemoir #AuschwitzSurvivor #TransylvanianHistory #WW2History #ClujHistory #Füst #HolocaustLiterature #MemoryWriting #MinervaCulturalAssociation #HungarianLiterature #NeverForget #SurvivorStories #HistoricalMemoir #HolocaustRemembrance #TransylvanianJewishHistory #ForcedLabourCamps #HumanResilience #InhumanExperiences #PublishingHistory #Muzeon

A poignant memorial of a terrible night ... 80 years ago today... . Around us, there are many memorials to those who lost their lives in the second World War. From the names of young men, who died in action carved into village plaques and on monuments, to simple roadside plinths, marking places where young resistance fighters died. Always a poignant sight and a constant reminder of a recent, terrible past... . Then there is this tangled, twisted structure created from the remains of a Wellington Bomber that crashed into a valley, on the Saint Christol Plateau 80 years ago today... . 5 young RAF crew lost their lives that night, and they are recognised not just here, at this now tranquil site hidden away at the end of a rocky trail, but also on the village War Memorial in Simiane itself, where their names are carved alongside those of the local young men who died at war.... . It was a tragic set of circumstances that coincided on that fateful night, involving the local Abatteur Resistance Group, led by the renowned french poet, René Char.... . The bodies of the 5 young men now rest in the military cemetery in Marseille, but the terror of that night still echoes in this tranquil little spot... . We must never forget... . #france #provence #paca #alpesdehauteprovence #ww2history #ww2memorial #wellingtonbomber #80yearsago #neverforget #warmemorial #secretfrance #resistance #renechar #simianelarotonde #avion

I really like the feel of this shot. Lots of background and foreground, figure under the roof partially obscured. Two German Afrika Korps junior officers sharing a bottle of Chianti in late '42. This Italian fort on the Mediterranean coast will be over run by the Allies following the Axis defeat at El Alamein. I suck at figures, this is as good as I get. Models and dioramas are a means to an end for me--photos. Two more figures to go, Italian lookouts on rooftop manning popular Czech machine gun. These are the last steps of three dioramas started on January 3 of this year. #militaryart #plasticmodel #plastimodelismo #135scale #modelkit #modelbuilding #weathering #scalemodel #scratchbuilt #diostructure #scaleart #modelmaker #miniature #modelmaking #militaryart #dioramacreators #italyww2 #northafricaww2 #diorama #dioramas #ww2history

Sketches by a young British soldier and POW in Malaya and Burma named Ronald Searle, who documented the war and the brutal conditions under which prisoners lived and worked as slaves on the infamous Burma Railway. By the war’s end, Searle had amassed some 300 sketches, first publishing a selection in a fellow prisoner’s memoirs in 1952. In 1986, he published ‘To the Kwai and Back: War Drawings 1939-1945’, a book that is now as rare as hen’s teeth. I wish I had a copy. Among his accomplishments, he served as a courtroom artist during the Nuremberg Trials in 1946, and later in 1961, over the Eichmann trial. A famed artist, creator of the St Trinian’s comic series, and sculptor, he passed onward, aged 91, in 2011, leaving us with a rich collection of drawings; many haunting. I will post a blog on my website with the image descriptions soon. #1 “Two soldiers in a trench, both in uniform and wearing tin hats.” 1941. #2 “Outskirts of Singapore, Friday February 13, 1942. Dump Burning under Jap Shellfire. Drawn during Shelling.” #3 “… and so, on 15 February, Singapore capitulated to prevent further massacre…” 1942. #4 “A line of soldiers waiting in a food queue outside a hut in Changi.” 1942. #5 “The interior of a Prisoner of War hut, crowded with men and their personal effects.” 1942. #6 “In the Jungle - Working on a Cutting. Rock Clearing after Blasting.” 1943. #7 “Prisoners Working on a Cutting.” 1943. #8 “Sick and Dying - Operating Theatre, Tamarkan Hospital Camp, Kanchanaburi, 2 December 1943. Major Fagin (aif) Operating.” #9 “Sick and Dying- Cholera Lines - Thai-burma Railway, 1943.” #anzac #anzacs #britisharmyww2 #britishww2 #wwiihistory #ww2history #historybuff #historylovers #warhistory #ww2daily #historyfacts #historynerd #historyww2 #dailysketches #warsketches #drawingdaily #prisonersofwar #prisonerofwar #lestweforgetart #burmarailway #burmarailwaymemorial

С Праздником Победы! Цена Победы: 27 млн. жизней солдат; 15 млн. жизней мирных людей; 7 млн. погибших в конц. лагерях; 4,5 млн. безвестие пропавших. Это была самая кровопролитная война в истории человечества и она должна была чему-то научить. Прошло не так много времени с момента окончания Второй Мировой Войны, а мир уже говорит о Третьей... Кому это нужно? Почему не тормозить все силы ястребов, которые с такой легкостью говорят о новой мировой войне? В этот день в России, в мае шёл снег и был как никогда прекрасный парад. Силы природы говорят о том, что время тяжелое. По телевизору сказали, что Украина не празднует. На самом деле это не так, большая часть моих друзей вывесили статусы в Facebook, что они празднуют. Зеленский не празднует, но он действительно не имеет отношения к победе. Наши народы победили вместе в самой страшной войне. Мы имеем право этим гордиться. Вечная память героям, отдавшим жизнь за освобождения нашей Родины. #победа #великаяотечественнаявойна #ww2history #victoryinworldwar2 #деньпобеды

Then And Now… 🇯🇪🇬🇧 @pommedorhotel One of the first key objectives for Force 135 upon landing ashore to liberate Jersey was to secure the Pomme D’Or Hotel, then being used as the Headquarters for the Kriegsmarine (German Navy). The image of British “Tommies” standing upon the hotel’s balcony has become a defining image of the Liberation of Jersey, and is recreated as part of the Island’s Liberation Day commemorations on May 9th every year. This was my third Liberation Day with @force.135, and it’s always a very proud moment to “stand where they stood”.

The B-17 "Hell's Angels" was a famous Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber during World War II, notable for being the first heavy bomber to complete 25 combat missions without losing a crew member. The aircraft was named after the 1930 Howard Hughes film "Hell's Angels," which showcased World War I aerial combat. History and Service: "Hell's Angels" was assigned to the 358th Bomb Squadron, 303rd Bombardment Group, based in Molesworth, England. The aircraft and its crew were part of the Eighth Air Force, which was crucial in the strategic bombing campaign against Nazi Germany. The bomber flew its first mission on May 13, 1943, targeting a power station in St. Omer, France, and completed its 25th mission on May 13, 1943, exactly four months later. Missions and Impact: During its service, "Hell's Angels" participated in significant bombing raids over Germany and occupied territories, targeting industrial sites, military installations, and transportation hubs. The aircraft's ability to return from these dangerous missions despite extensive battle damage became a symbol of the durability and effectiveness of the B-17 as a strategic bomber. Legacy: After completing 48 missions, "Hell's Angels" was returned to the United States in January 1944, where it was used in war bond drives and publicity tours, contributing to the home front morale and war effort. The bomber's storied career helped elevate the B-17's reputation as one of the most effective and resilient bombers of the war. The legacy of "Hell's Angels" endures as a testament to the bravery of its crews and the critical role of air power in achieving Allied victory in World War II. The story of this aircraft exemplifies the dangerous skies of the European theater and the strategic bombing campaign's impact on the outcome of the war. #B17flyingfortress #B17 #ww2 #MilitaryHistory #war #B17 #ww2history

Concrete LCT (landing craft tank) constructed in Brauntion Burrows in north Devon in the lead up to the Normandy landings. The north Devon coast was used extensively in preparation ready for the liberation of nazi occupied north west Europe. Troops based in the area would land at the beaches Omaha and Utah. Inscribed on one of the concrete craft are the words “146th Eng, Co C, 1st platoon” who where one of the constructors. #northdevon #brautonburrows #normandy #dday #dday80 #ww2 #secondworldwar #secondworldwarhistory #localhistory #localhistorymatters #ww2history #ww2pictures #ww2american

The famous quote by Viktor Frankl from A Man’s Search For Meaning; “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances” Has had a profound impact on my life, but walking around Auschwitz I found Frankl’s outlook even more incredible. If even possible to forget what went on there, the place is incredibly claustrophobic, austere and naturally depressing - as I guess most prison camps would be. I find it mind blowing to consider he and many other POWs had no idea how long the war would last. Having the mental resiliency to endure something beyond a known end with a positive outlook is remarkable.

Wczorajsza rocznica zakończenia drugiej wojny światowej , skłania ku refleksjom nad losem żołnierzy Polskich w trakcie 6 lat trwania tego konfliktu ,czyli od momentu agresji Hitlerowskich Niemiec na Polskę we wrześniu 1939 roku aż do maja roku 1945 ,kiedy to w Europie zakończyła się wojna. Polscy żołnierze w osamotnieniu bronili ojczyzny (pomimo gwarancji Aliantów,naszych sojuszników którzy obiecali nam pomoc zbrojną w razie wojny). Po klęsce i utracie państwa ,Polacy będąc na uchodźstwie walczyli u boku aliantów na wszystkich frontach drugiej wojny światowej . Pomimo heroizmu i oddania naszych żołnierzy upokorzono nas nawet po zakończeniu konfliktu ,kiedy to na paradę zwycięstwa nie zaproszono naszych żołnierzy ,gdyż uznano iż nie powinno się drażnić związku radzieckiego tym gestem (jedynie polscy lotnicy zostali zaproszeni na paradę ,jednak odmówili gdyż nie chcieli iść bez żołnierzy polskich z innych jednostek).🇵🇱 Cześć i chwała żołnierzom Wojska Polskiego,wasze męstwo i poświęcenie nie będzie zapomniane 🫡🇵🇱Amor Patriae Nostra Lex 🇵🇱 #history #historyfacts #historylovers #fyp #wp #polisharmy #ww2 #ww2history #ww2reenactment #reenactment #reenactor #reenacting #photooftheday #photo #army #soldier #poland #polish #polska #historia #2024 #1939 #1945 #infantry #photography #weather #look #remember #spring #war

During the disarmament of the German army in the western part of the Netherlands, a separate dump site was set up for German vehicles, equipment and stolen items. This one was named “The Eclipse Dump”. Named after Operation Eclipse, this was an operation that was partly aimed at the dismantling of the German army. Every Canadian soldier of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division had been given a specific task during the disarmament of the German army, the logistics area around the “Eclipse Dump” and guarding the German POW camps. In total, British and Canadian soldiers stripped nearly 120,000 German soldiers of their weapons and equipment in "Festung Holland", as they called the fortified western Netherlands.

★ The soldiers of the marine corps of the Black Sea Fleet are a sniper and communications operator. Victory Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Sevastopol are celebrated today! On May 9, 1944, Soviet troops completely liberated the city of Sevastopol from Nazi occupation. This was made possible thanks to the Crimean offensive operation. The Red Army dealt a powerful blow to the enemy. The fascists were trapped on the Crimean peninsula and were unable to evacuate. Бойцы морской пехоты Черноморского флота - снайпер и связистка. Сегодня праздуется День Победы и 80 летие освобождения Севастополя. 9 мая 1944 года советские войска полностью освободили город Севастополь от фашистской оккупации. Это стало возможным благодаря Крымской наступательной операции. Красная Армия нанесла мощный удар по врагу. Фашисты оказались заперты на полуострове Крым и не смогли эвакуироваться. #ww2 #awards #hero #victoryday #moscow #history #sovietunion #sevastopol #war #victoryday #ww2history #redbanner #army #victorydayparade #greatpatrioticwar #ww2veteran #redstar #крым #реконструкторы #памятьпоколений #севастополь #краснаяармия #1941_1945 #деньпобеды #9мая1945 #9мая #морскаяпехота #вов #1945 #победа

Originally belonging to William John Vincent Jnr, William was a radio operator and code breaker based at a farm in Hampton Lane, Solihull. He would secretly visit isolated locations to listen to, decipher and transmit signals using homemade equipment.
