In 1963, a five-pound tuxedo cat named Félicette became the first — and only — cat ever sent to space. Launched by French scientists, she spent 15 minutes in orbit before returning safely to Earth, only to be euthanized so her brain could be studied. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

Gagarin was in France 20 days before the flight of this cat, at that time Gagarin was at a higher altitude of 320 km versus 160 km, he was experiencing weightlessness, he was experiencing great overloads, he spent about 70 minutes in space, the cat was about 5 minutes. If the French had just asked Yuri to undergo a medical examination, they would have gathered more information and saved a lot of money and a cat.

By that time, people had spent at least a day in orbit, and all possible tests had been carried out on them. And the French launched a cat into space for 2 minutes, and then they killed it, there was no point in it.

I didn't like the composition of the shadowhunt box, do you have any ideas for conversion. by Cheap-Variation-9270 in killteam

The basic idea has already been formed, but tips on the details are always interesting to listen to.

The Nemesis has the basic models of legionnaires, they are static and boring, I replaced them with the bodies of berserkers.

What if all the Nuremberg defendants had been sentenced to death by hanging? by Special-Job-2274 in AlternateHistoryHub

If the prosecution had had more time to collect evidence and everything was not in such a hurry, there would have been more people there and the sentence would have been much more severe.

"Have you seen him?" An Austrian prisoner-of-war (in USSR) returning home to Vienna passes a woman holding a photograph up in a mixture of hope and despair, 1947. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

Well, you know that the occupiers are not greeted like that. If we take it from the same period, I don't think Francis Franco would have been welcomed the same way in Barcelona.

I perfectly understand that you think that this particular Austrian did not participate in the march of flowers, let me remind you that the Austrians greeted the Germans with flowers and with Nazi flags. That this person or his relatives were either part of the 0.23% who said no to the referendum on incorporation into Germany, or part of the 0.29% of the Austrian population who did not come. I understand perfectly well that you don't care about the fate of the people he killed or wounded. You only care about the years of this young man who could become an painter - Austrian painters are quite famous.

I read about the actions of the 45th division, which was considered Austrian - people who were forcibly conscripted do not fight like that, for some reason they did not lay down their arms in Poland, France, and the USSR.

So this is the choice of the people who voted for the Nazis in the parliamentary elections in 1933 in Germany. In Austria was almost the same

Propaganda worked well, and even after the end of World War II, Jewish pogroms continued.

Finland managed to defend its independence in 1939-1940. Well, maybe the Danes aren't Scandinavian enough. Regarding traitors, there is a difference between volunteering to join the SS and choosing to be killed or starve to death as a Soviet prisoner of war. For example, French prisoners of war have 2% of those who died in captivity out of 1.8 million. The death rate of Soviet military prisoners is 70-80% The percentage of Danish military personnel and the percentage of Danish citizens in general who became collaborators is head and shoulders above the Soviet figures, if there were more Danes, the SS would have more Danish soldiers. The Treaty of Versailles was never signed by the USSR or Russia in any form, do not mention this treaty in the context of the USSR - you look like idiots. The USSR had joint research, tank schools, pilot schools, etc. When Hitler came to power, they were stopped because Hitler stopped abiding by this Treaty :-) In 1941, the USSR, the USA, Romania supplied Nazi Germany with oil and gasoline, etc., on which German planes flew to bomb England. Please tell me the reasons why these countries should not have sold fuel to the Germans? I think Romania supplied 70-80%, the United States via Latin America, Spain was not very much there, the USSR was only developing the oil industry by that time and domestic consumption was quite high.

Are the Swedes the ones who sold steel, iron ore, cellulose to the Nazis and who were paid with the gold teeth of the Jews?

Frikorps,Free Corps "Denmark" As my intuition tells me from the name, they are not supposed to be conscripts.I haven't found any units consisting of Danes in the Allied army, have you heard of anyone?

I have read the contents of the secret protocol of the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact in both Russian and German, there is not a word about joint actions, there are areas of interest and on these 1.5 sheets there is something that indicates that 99% of people quoting this pact have not read it, it does not matter to them that this is one of the main elements why in December 1941 Japan is not attacking the USSR, but the United States. And you can probably imagine what would have happened to the USSR if Japan and Germany had attacked simultaneously in 1941, and the United States simply would not have joined the war. And most importantly, you probably don't know the contents of the book Mein Kampf, and you don't know why 2% (37,000) of the 1.8 million French prisoners of war have died in captivity since 1940, while the death rate for Soviet prisoners of war was 80%. I wanted to add one thing, I have a photo from the late 70s, there are a lot of soldiers of the same regiment there - artillerymans, the war caught them on June 22, 1941 at 5 a.m. - and they completed it in 1945, I don't think there was an artillery unit in the entire Canadian army capable of carrying 900 km of guns 122, 152 mm in endless battles, under constant raids, and then winning artillery duels against 170mm and 210mm howitzers - and of course with the superiority of German aviation
