Picture of the day

[purple]

I've been to Amsterdam (among other places in Holland) visiting my wife's extended family. Your fears were not unfounded. There's something terrifying about a 6' blond Viking warrior queen weaving through pedestrians and traffic on an omafiet and a distinctly Dutch determination to never arrive to an appointment late.

p.s. Still have that P38 you sold me. Thanks to Fancy Socks, looks like I'll be getting buried with it, as I won't even be able to pass it down to my kid.

Complete ISU-152, all parts in place. In full working order and running when parked in 1986.

My last P-38, as well as his personal issue S&W revolver, were brought back from Europe by my uncle at the end of WW2. I has hoped to pass them on to family members, but Trudeau said `NO``.

The last handgun I bought before Blackface ban was a interwar Luger. I figure that was a good way to go out, if we never get to buy any more.

Porzus Massacre, Italy, late WWII.



Sorry you have to search Italian language articles and use a translator to get detailed information.

TLDR: The Communist GAP (Communist Italian resistance network), pressed the higher military authority, to get clearance to execute 17 members of the Catholic Italian resistance network, Brigate Osoppo.

The higher military authority was Tito's Partisans, who fully supported the proposal.

Is that one of three? Brought in to make necessary holes in thick concrete? Only faintly radioactive?
