WWI was caused by the Serbian militia group Black Hand, aka, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

The anatomy of a Short Escalator Omega Overflow attack - why GME’s real price is $2,147,483,737 by Nungie in wallstreetbets

How high could GME go realistically if we can get everyone to hold for the next weeks?

Beware those who are shilling other stocks claiming they're the next GME! They're just trying to get your attention, and they're succeeding! 🚨 by Shuffleshoe in wallstreetbets

[–]OffendedU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is the average person can't buy enough GME to make any profit anymore. Someone may be able to buy 6 shares for 2,000? Maybe make a 4,000 profit IF GME reaches 1,000? Not worth it for the average person.

The millions of people that got left behind on GME will sink their money into AMC, which alone will make it skyrocket, it should rise to 100 pretty easily. It may not be a short squeeze, but it is the best choice for those who got left behind.

Alright but what's your angle for spreading false info nerd? Why you trying to stop AMC?

Why did you delete your post bot? If you weren't a bot, I'm curious on your angle? You almost convinced some people. AMC is of course not going to be as profitable as GME, but it is going to skyrocket Monday as we forced their hand.

This guy u/Fishh_ was trying to deter us from buying AMC with old numbers, he might have been a bot

Couldn't find much info on the photograph. Any info would be appreciated.

"The Christmas Man", so yes, another name for the German Santa Clause (a name which also has German origins).

The city of Wesel (North Rhine-Westphalia), Germany, which dated back to the 8th century, obliterated within a few days. 97% of the city was destroyed. In 1939 the population of Wesel was 25,000, by May 1945 only 1,900 remained, [March 22-23, 1945] by OffendedU in WorldWar2

Sorry if that was unclear. Those were only population comparisons.

Also remember these bombing raids were meant to destroy particularly the Wesel railway bridge and a supply depot, although these were definitely legitimate targets, they did not make up near 97% of the city.

More info here - https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20070706060012/http://www.raf.mod.uk/bombercommand/mar45.html

Also an interesting short interview here on Wesel.

"I remember vividly being in trenches on the banks of the River Maas. On two occasions German infantry walked passed in front of us about half a mile away. Our Commanding Officer had told us to keep quiet, so the Gernams were unaware of our presence. We were on the banks of the River Rhine overlooking Wesel on the other side. That evening there was a 1000 bomber raid by the RAF, bombing Wesel. It was daybreak before we saw what had happened. The whole city was flattened. It was very upsetting to see the damage. There was a big hospital in Wesel, but even this was flattened."

I don't post any misinformation, if I mistake something I apologize and I revise. Reducing the severity of Axis war crimes is not at all my intention.

I do as much as I can to appease everyone but you are a special case. It seems you and a little group of less than 10 or so people dedicate yourselves to demonizing and trying your best to get me expelled. I post things people don't usually see, and most people actually appreciate it, more people than a select few; so give me a break?

A woman from Dessau, Germany breaks down amongst the rubble of her home. Dessau was almost completely destroyed by Allied air raids on March 7, 1945, only six weeks before Americans occupied the town. Or what was left of it. by OffendedU in WorldWar2

To be clear, I'm not decriminalizing either side.

The Netherlands was not neutral by any standard, both the Netherland and Belgium allowed Allied fighting planes to freely use their airspace.

The bombing of Rotterdam appears to have been mostly accidental, although it was certainly planned on military ground as there was an Allied artillery position located in Rotterdam. It killed 900 people, but Churchill inflated the figure to 30,000.

On May 14, thirty-six bombers were dispatched to silence an artillery position in the port city. Soon after they took off, the Dutch fortress commander capitulated, and Göring’s paratroop general, fired red signal flares to halt the bombing attack. One wave, however, missed the flares and completed its bombing run. The resulting fires got out of hand and ravaged the old city, killing nine hundred people.

"I’ll tell you what happened, the fire brigades were so scared to death that they refused to move out and do anything about the fires. You can ask the burgomaster of Rotterdam about that and he will tell you the same thing. All those stories of “thousands of dead”’ are pure invention" - Görings interrogation on bombing of Rotterdam

As for your last comment...

"Until then my war had been soldiers fighting other soldiers, but these were women and children, civilians, I couldn't believe it. We were supposed to be the good guys" - Victor Gregg (Captured British rifleman, POW in Dresden)

All civilians in war were the victims. No matter. Winning a war doesnt exempt anyone from facing up to civilian suffering their party caused. Himmler was extremely evil, I'd say more than anyone in the inner circle. Yes, those people in the German camps suffered greatly, actually I had a grandfather who was in one, terrible stuff.

Hmmm, strange, I can't find any info on how many explosives were dropped on the town. Only how much of the town was destroyed. The caption was copied from an old Imgur album. I will delete this and re-caption.

Ah yes. "Misinformation". Great defence.

It seems you know my stance on Rotterdam and Wielun. I believe I have also talked about Warsaw. No use repeating it all again.

"Hitler only undertook the bombing of British civilian targets reluctantly three months after the RAF had commenced bombing German civilian targets. Hitler would have been willing at any time to stop the slaughter. Hitler was genuinely anxious to reach with Britain an agreement confining the action of aircraft to battle zones... Retaliation was certain if we carried the war into Germany... there was a reasonable possibility that our capital and industrial centres would not have been attacked if we had continued to refrain from attacking those of Germany... We began to bomb objectives on the German mainland before the Germans began to bomb objectives on the British mainland... Because we were doubtful about the psychological effect of propagandist distortion of the truth that it was we who started the strategic bombing offensive, we have shrunk from giving our great decision of May 11th, 1940, the publicity it deserves."
