"Down this road the soldiers came." 80 years ago tomorrow, on 10 June 1944, four days after D-Day, the village of Oradour-sur-Glane in Nazi-occupied France was destroyed. 643 civilians, including non-combatant men, women, and children, were massacred by a company of the 2nd SS

5 Cocktails loved by Allied Intelligence Services during the First and Second World War. Next time you're at the bar, perhaps order one of these and raise a glass to these heroes and heroines. (a mini-thread)

Over the skies of Kherson Oblast, a Ukrainian FPV drone repeatedly whacks a Russian ZALA 421-16E reconnaissance drone with a stick, before eventually disabling the Russian drone’s motor.

John Oliver is sick of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." being played at U.S. naturalization ceremonies, so he created an alternative—with help from Will Ferrell.
