On time mail and on time pay keeps an army happy and willing to fight.

Thirded - I randomly came across this book sitting on a table at my doctors office last month. They were really behind for whatever reason, and I had almost an hour to read before my name was called. I was so into it that the receptionist let me borrow it to finish, lol.

This generation was remarkable. Sadly, time is taking hold and we don’t have many left. These women are national treasures.

And that's what can be changed, easily. Those people can be acknowledged and the wrongs of that era made right. It wouldn't take huge monetary or social change, but acknowledging these people and their contributions.

When that can't be done, it really makes you wonder.

I have a very simple question and am new to this sub, I hope it doesn’t violate any of the rules. But I want to know more about the story of Adolf Hitler telling Benito Mussolini that he’s being possessed by an aryan ghost, I can’t seem to find anything about this story anywhere, is it even true? It would be amazing if someone would tell me the full story. Thank you for reading

Unfortunately not all heroes see the light of the day. I bet there are thousands stories of many soldiers from various countries and ethnicities that were never told

Unless their service is never acknowledged and they are treated as never having served. Which happened for many.

I mean, at the end of the day it’s a soldier. They serve their country, and that’s what matters the most

That was very interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

It is the fact that we continue to ignore the importance of services of minority populations in those events. It would take literally no effort to acknowledge them, and yet 80 years on and we still are only just managing to give some begrudging credit (and even then not much in books). Yet the documentation is all there, meticulous.

When the easy work hasn't been done for decades, it speaks volumes about the hard work.

I think it's not the events themselves, it's the lack of knowledge about those events. When one hears that the UK fought WW2, one tends to think of a white British man, not an Indian man, although both are accurate. There was a vocal minority complaining about black french soldiers in the film Dunkirk being woke revisionism, despite the large numbers of colonial soldiers that fought for France on French soil.

I have just seen the movie being filmed today at Duxford Air Museum in the UK. An impressive sight seeing around a couple hundred women marching past the hangers. Great timing on sharing this article.

Not just colonies, but the native and usually heavily abused populations!
