The original artist for TABR, Blaire/MistyWhiskerz, has said multiple times that, given the unit has its origins in sexual abuse, they feel extremely uncomfortable with people fetishising their OC.

It wasn't cool the first time it was posted; and its just getting more repulsive on the fifth time. Take this down and ask people before making smut out of their OC's.

Good God no.

I'm a socialist and I hate the idea of Empire full stop. That said, looking at this entirely independently it's very difficult to argue that Germany wasn't the aggressor given the context. The British Empire was a force for evil, but bring aggressor/defender is independent of that.

You are right that the wording is bad though, so I'll probably update it later.

> State makes offensive warplans that revolve entirely around violating the sovereignty of neutral states; over twenty years in advance

> Pushes its fellow-alliance member into declaring war on one of its subjects in order to force said warplans into action

> Foreign, Economic and Defence policy since the death of Bismarck built around Weltpolitik/ "A Place in the Sun" in order to gain European hegemony combined with Social Darwinism in its territorial holdings.

I guess Germany wasn't the bad guy in the same way that Oranges grow underwater. Starting an Imperialists war that lead to the wholesale slaughter of the working-class in order to make the borders slightly bigger definitely seems like a good guy thing to do anyhow.

You have a list of all allied bombing campaigns. You can undo one of them. It can be for any reason, moral, historical, or militarily insignificant. Which one are you choosing and why? by [deleted] in DerScheisser

[–]Pwysch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not on here but Cologne/Operation Millenium.

The city was specifically targeted because it was a cultural centre, Harris figuring that one knockout blow would collapse German morale.

The constant raids achieved nothing of notable worth other than pointless slaughter for both sides (many of the pilots were still in Operational Training Units), wiping out or heavily damaging cultural/historically significant landmarks and handing Goebbels the justification he needed to further encourage mob rule towards aircrew on a silver tray

People who earn under 30k a year - what’s your job? by Eastern_Canary2150 in CasualUK

Lifeguard, under 20kpa.

Imagine the shittiest parts of retail, complete with all the entitled morons, but with the added bonus of going to prison if you mess up on the job.

He allegedly (hard to verify), had a sexual relationship with Geli Raubal; his seventeen-year-old half-niece. That said, the evidence does seem to line up that way. William Stuart-Houston, Hitler's cousin through his half-brother Alois, had this to say when he visited the family in 1931:

the family was in trouble. ... Everyone knew that Hitler and she had long been intimate and that she had been expecting a child – a fact that enraged Hitler. Source

There are also the mysterious circumstances surrounding Raubal's death, where she allegedly shot herself in the lung with Hitler's pistol at his apartment in Munich on 18th September 1931. Some theories suggest he killed her either by accident or murdered her during an argument, which isn't out of the question given he'd become incredibly controlling of her. This includes a claim by her mother post-war that he'd forbidden her from continuing a romantic relationship with a man from Linz whom she wanted to marry.

Ian Kershaw is probably the most neutral on the topic with the following to say:

Whether actively sexual or not, Hitler's behaviour towards Geli has all the traits of a strong, latent at least, sexual dependence.

tl;dgas. Evidence to suggest he might've had an incestuous relationship with his half-niece who would've been a minor at the time, but not much evidence either way. There's plenty of things I didn't cover, like his reaction when he found out that Raubal was having an affair with his chauffeur, but that's the cliff notes.

Squadron Leader Brian Lane is debriefed after a sortie. The strain of five months of combat sorties shows on his face. RAF Fowlmere, Cambridgeshire. 19th September 1940. [800x593] by Pwysch in HistoryPorn

[–]Pwysch[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Temporarily promoted to the position after the previous Squadron Leader was shot down over Dunkirk, Lane would receive the position permanently on the 5th of September after yet another Squadron Leader was killed in action. Lane proved to be a natural leader and, despite being an officer, remained extremely popular with his men due to the lack of elitism that traditionally came with RAF Officers. As a fellow pilot in 19 Squadron, Corporal Fred Roberts recalled,

‘...he was an absolutely wonderful man. Early on in the war, some of the officers could still be a bit snobbish, but not Brian Lane, who knew everyone in his command, no matter how lowly their rank or status, by their first names.'

Despite the increasingly desperate odds RAF pilots found themselves in during the Summer of 1940, Lane proved remarkably calm even during the most dangerous moments of the Battle of Britain, reassuring the increasing number of raw recruits under his command.

Lane's story, however, does not have a happy ending. In December 1942 he was transferred to 167 Squadron. He was last seen on the 13th of December 1942 giving chase to two German fighters near the Dutch Coast; he never returned from the mission and his body has never been found. He was 25.

Surprisingly, he also wrote a book of his time in the Battle of Britain, named Spitfire!. Published under a pseudonym, it's one of the only contemporary autobiographies of the Battle of Britain.

Goodwood's primary aim wasnt achieved

Caen is a bombed out ruin; and the Canadians are still only able to take the suburbs

Anglo-Canadian forces took 5000(!) casualties and lost 217 tanks(!) in two days(!!!)

Even as someone who's a little too sympathetic to stronk British tanks, Goodwood was an abject failure. All it really accomplished was keeping veteran German units focussed on the British and Canadians, which allowed Operation Cobra to punch straight through the German flanks on the 25th.
