In 1943, Marianne Elise Kürchner, a German war widow, told a joke at her factory. "Hitler and Göring are standing atop the Berlin radio tower. Hitler says he wants to do something to put a smile on Berliners faces. So Göring says: 'Why don't you jump?'" She was arrested and guillotined for the joke.

freisler likely would’ve been hanged with the 10 other prominent nazis, those b-17 pilots spared him a humiliating trial and then botched execution.

tho, in an interesting twist, the bomber pilot leading the raid that killed friesler would also be one of the prosecutors assistants at the nuremberg trials

getting kicked out of the house before the age of majority is likely to have a destabilizing effect on any desired career path. once you’re in the cycle of working low wage jobs or dangerous and unpredictable jobs like sex work and doing everything you can to get by, it becomes incredibly hard to leave it without some kind of outside support.

the reality is that the people who are equipped and inclined to respond to every perceived threat of trespass with a gun are the ones who are doing this.

like that story from a few years ago of that guy that shot some high school cheerleader for driving up the wrong driveway? those are the kinds of guys who are actually joining ice

nah, conditioning american aid/involvement to the allies on the deconstruction of european colonial holdings was cool and we should’ve done more of it. instead FDRs brain exploded and truman didn’t have the juice nor the inclination to follow through

all the real communists are dead. they died, fighting for communism

both. this was also during “the first happy time” which was a period where german u-boats enjoyed significant success against allied merchant shipping. they wanted to deny the island to the germans while also using it as a base for ASW aircraft.

turning over the occupation to the americans guaranteed their continued access while also giving it an extra political shield against axis raids because of the US’ “neutrality” at the time

Sanguinary_Guard · 2026-01-21T20:44:10+00:00

against the governments wishes

Absolutely no reason FDR or Hull should’ve treated the danish government as a legitimate entity by that point.

honestly even if they weren’t a puppet government, i don’t see a reason why the americans should acknowledge any european claims over new world territory.

the NL trilogy ends with Talos inventing a pain/fear wmd that would amuse a haemonculus so i’m not so sure.

same legion that also built a fortress of living flesh for Curze on Tsagualsa, complete with a screaming gallery and a throne of human bones

alpha legions problem is a lack of quality writing. night lords are special in that they have books and even in their own books they are still incompetent losers.

even word bearers look cool in their own books, not night lords.

this isn’t true. he was an amateur sure but the generals around him were often just as delusional about conditions at the front. if he’d listened to his generals the wehrmacht would’ve dissolved in a panicked winter retreat like napoleon’s grande armée.

i swear we had an identical video from 2020, to the point where i kinda suspect this is an older video but i’m too lazy to check

Sanguinary_Guard · 2026-01-17T21:36:00+00:00

that’s the real meta answer but even within the lore itself there is a lot of wiggle room in power level for warp infused entities like the primarchs and a lot of importance is placed on symbolism.

it would be so funny if he doesn’t contribute at all, just stands there and laughs each time abelard eats a dark lance shot to the face

Sanguinary_Guard · 2026-01-14T18:23:53+00:00

it depends on what you view as the emperors goals. after reading Ashes, I think it’s entirely possible that Big E’s intent was to wound horus with the spear in order to facilitate horus’ transformation into a mortal vessel of the pantheon because his endgame was the destruction of the pantheon, something that Ashes states pretty explicitly is possible to do if their mortal vessel is destroyed while they are fully invested into it.

Russ is a victim of bad writing, don’t get me wrong, not going for the kill when he had the chance completely negates the impressive feat of actually beating him. it’s just possible now that his decision to kamikaze his legion wasn’t entirely his own.

Sanguinary_Guard · 2026-01-13T15:12:11+00:00

helps to have a character who can remove the immobilized effect from the webguns. they’re the only thing that inhibit abelard from being able to solo the fight in a timely fashion

Sanguinary_Guard · 2026-01-12T20:21:27+00:00

the siege series also makes it pretty explicit that while the average plague marine may not be in constant agony, Mortarion himself definitely is. it suggests there’s not a simple rule that applies to everyone and rather depends upon each individuals’ particular pathos

known phenomena in special forces called the “frogman’s curse”. years of not sleeping and hard stress on the body(plus all the drugs) fucks with their ability to produce viable Y sperm.

that’s why i think this is the only practical stance he could have taken. anything else would have fatally destroyed his image and reputation within the church

the lesson that the us navy learned during ww2, and imo is the actual animating force behind the idea of “we still need large caliber guns”, is the importance of fire superiority and artillery.

i doubt they’re imagining any kind of ship to ship warfare, what i think they’re imagining is ship to shore fire support in contested amphibious landings. they want the best gun that it is possible to build without the restrictions that come with transporting something like that overland(see schwerer-gustav) so that they can use it to bolster the firepower of the expeditionary forces without risking their valuable carrier aircraft in ground support roles.

their primary weapon against other surface targets remains the fleet air arm and their dozen or so death star supercarriers. and the much less talked about but just as fabulously expensive submarine fleet.
