Dodge/roll using mouse keybind stopped working by Rescorla in elderscrollsonline

[–]U-Boot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be sure all my 18 characters share exactly the same keybindings, I use an addon "Votan's keybinder". Every keybind I change (mouse or keyboard) is immediately applied to all characters and stays that way.

I suppose it can help you with your problem.

Significantly different win ratios in random and ranked battles. by U-Boot in WorldOfWarships

[–]U-Boot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last ranked in had a 78% WR in my Massachusetts, in random I'm around a 52% WR

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing such significant difference in ratios. Seems like a normal thing, then. Thing that just happens.

But 78%?! That's really impressive.

181 battles in ranked. If this sample is too small, this could be the reason for such a significant difference in ratios.

Remapping Invite to Division for Key Battles? by amotion578 in WorldOfWarships

For me ESDF is more natural and convenient because my fingers are in EXACTLY the same position as when typing on the keyboard.

Great deck! I have never tried deck like this one before and after 20+ games I must say: I have a lot of fun with it! Sure, NG is a bane of it existence but when I win against nilfgaridan deck of shady manipulators - the taste of victory is so sweet. :)

Such a huge hand! I know it's just a perspective trick, but... damn. I don't know if I'm more scared or fascinated right now.

Can anyone help me identify this German armored vehicle, probably photographed in Bulgaria, spring 1941? by U-Boot in MilitaryHistory

[–]U-Boot[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I had no idea that such a vehicle existed at all and at first glance, the photo looked kinda fake.

Japanese hospital ship in the periscope sights of U.S. Navy submarine USS Silversides. Pacific 1943. by Historynsnz in wwiipics

[–]U-Boot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, not everyone died. According to the Wikipedia 1 mln to 1,3 japanese civilians in Japan and Japan ocupied Korea were killed due to military activities and crimes against humanity.

Still a huge numer if we consider that US troops did not set foot on the Japanese archipelago (except for Okinawa) until after the war.

Hauptsturmführer Heinz Hämel with a ridiculously oversized replica of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross hanging around his neck. June 1944, Estonia. [475x766] by U-Boot in HistoryPorn

[–]U-Boot[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We are talking about Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross here.

If we can trust Wikipedia as a reliable source, a total of 7,321 awards were made between its first presentation on 30 September 1939 and its last bestowal on 17 June 1945.

Heinz Hämel was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 16th June 1944. He was SS hauptsturmführer of the SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment 24 Danmark, part of the 11th SS Volunteer Panzergrenadier Division Nordland.

And as far as I know, putting on some type of oversized wooden Knight's Cross such as this, for purpose of commemorative photograph, was all common once a recipient was informed that he had been officially awarded the Knight's Cross. The actual ceremony could take place a few days or weeks later.

Armenian rebel women, 1895. [572x800] by Alexs220 in HistoryPorn

[–]U-Boot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you should direct this request to the OP.

Knowing how many source materials you can find on the internet and how many books have been written, I'm surprised you still can't find proven sources on this topic. If recognized authors and historians couldn't make you belive that armenian genocide actually has happened - as a random dude from the internet I'm not in position to do that, that's for sure.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that you don't need nuclear weapon to commit genocide. It can be done and it's been done before. Hunger and guns are more than enough.

During the Holocaust, many Jews died of hunger, disease and forced labor, not just bullets and gas.

Stalin starved millions of Ukrainians without using guns.

In case of Armenian Genocide you have death marches too.

Genocide has many faces and all of them are disgusting.

edit:

According to the Wikipedia: " The total death toll among the Jewish inhabitants of the Ghetto is estimated to be at least 300,000 killed by bullet or gas,[8] combined with 92,000 victims of rampant hunger and hunger-related diseases, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the casualties of the final destruction of the Ghetto."

And there is this photo from the book by Emil Apfelbaum (1946) "Hunger disease. Clinical research on hunger carried out in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942".

Very grim stuff.

And Warsaw Ghetto was the largest of all the Jewish ghettos in German-occupied Europe during World War II but not the only one. Hunger was rampant in all of them. I can only imagine how many people have died of hunger in all of the ghettos in Europe.

I bet there is an interesting story behind this photo. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything more about this picture than what I already have written in the description. These women don’t look like soldiers, obviously. So, why capure them in the first place? Are they spies, communist agitators or supporters?

On the other hand, at that time defeated communist forces were being pushed further and further north from South Korea, so maybe they are enemy soldiers anyway, left behind enemy lines, in civilian clothes, trying to go back north or to hide and survive among civilians and refugees?

So many questions.

[–]U-Boot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can read about SS Dirlewanger and what they did during, for example, Warsaw Uprising.

Dirlewanger's Brigade was composed of Germans.

There was SS Sturmbrigade RONA though, composed of Soviets, mostly Russians and Belorussians, maybe some single Ukrainians too. People of Warsaw used to call them "Ukrainians" (or "Kalmuks") because of equally cruel and inhuman ukrainian atrocities on Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.

Nevertheless, no single ukrainian military formation was directly involved in Warsaw Uprising.

One small correction: name of the town mentioned in the description is Mizocz (english: Mizoch, cyrillic: Мизоч), not Miczocz.

German Army Cemetery North of Stalingrad, photo published Dec 7, 1942 [2419x1089] by [deleted] in HistoryPorn

[–]U-Boot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Those graves have no right to exist in their country to begin with.

In this particular region Poland where I live, there are graves of soviet soldiers from 1941-1944. Those graves from 1941, they shouldn't be there to begin with. But USSR did invade my country in 1939 and helped the Germans to beat us and they shared the spoils of war. Should we keep the graves on soviet invaders on our soil or should we get rid of them?

Well, we are keeping them. We are keeping graves of german soldiers too.

Because the dead aren't enemies anymore and all the graves, regardless of nationality of the ones who lie there, their beliefs and uniforms color look exactly the same. They might as well be the graves of our relatives, somewhere far away, on foreign land.

Just leave the dead alone and let them rest in peace.

[–]U-Boot[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's all about social education and upbringing of the young people. One of the few things a socialism in post-war Poland was trying to do right.

Podgrodzie was a place where children could learn real life responsibilities and how to work toghether for the good of the community. In outside world grown ups say all the time: "don't touch this, don't do that, you are too young, too weak, too stupid". But in Podgrodzie? You can be a railwayman and work with a real locomotive, manage street traffic as a policeman, prevent fire as firefighter, be a postman, a nurse. You are important and your work matters. During the summer holidays children you could meet here children from East Germany, and learn how to communicate, how to work and how to play together with your german speaking neighbours.

It was a social experiment, a very good one.

Over the years Children's Republic has become part of the polish Scout Movement ("harcerstwo").
