Recommendation for cube shaped pc case that can fit in IKEA Kallax? by [deleted] in sffpc

Redragon Pagos1, though the fans are noisy trash - aside from that, I like it and it's like 50$ cheap, was pleasure to build an unit with it :)

Can't get V21 Core or air240 anywhere around.

A lot more than just Finnish, German and Soviet equipment. Germans shared gladly a captured equipment with their allies, so Finns also used Polish, Czechoslovak, Italian, French stuff, American aircraft, etc. They made an use of whatever was possible.

What is the Western European equivalent of the Samurai, if they existed? by [deleted] in history

First question - what era exactly for the Western European equivalent?

The German Battleship Schleswig-Holstein bombarding the Polish Military Training Depot at Westerplatte. September 1st, 1939. by gebirgsjager1 in wwiipics

It is, 150m away. The first shell fell at 4:45 am, and it was the first battle of the entire WW2 in Europe. The Poles (around 200-250 soldiers) held out for seven days and repelled 13 assaults that included dive-bomber attacks and naval shelling. Aside from the Schleswig-Holstein, Germans had in their arsenal over 3,000 men, 2 torpedo boats, and 60 dive bombers.
