So... who took these photos?
I'm interested to know journalism from the battlefield worked back then? It's not like they could link up to WiFi and some of these photos are amazing.

Military "journalists" Basically riflemen that also get issued a camera that had orders to snap pictures whenever they could. Shame about what happened to all of the Omaha photos. Out of thousands of photos taken, there are only a dozen or so that still exist.

I mean still exist full stop. Some chucklefuck dropped most of the film, video and photograph, into the fucking channel on accident.

I believe that beauty is within the same category of space and time.
This is to claim it is omnipresent, and is subject of appreciation (in the sense of 'awareness') similarly to space and time.

How were the Irish in the US treated before the massive wave of immigration in the 1840s?
I'm aware that there was of course quite a bit of anti-Irish sentiment, and it was further extended to the fact that almost all the Irish emigrants were Catholics. Naturally, the quite fervent protestant Americans strongly disliked Catholicism and its believers, the Irish being a huge wave of them. This, tied with the fact that they would take jobs which were available, led to some serious spite for the Irish. But what of those Irish who happened to trickle in beforehand, before the famine and before the massive wave of desperate peoples?

Why did the Wehrmacht get wrecked so hard during Operation Bagration?

Multiple factors
>>
>>1712000
Because they were behind by just about every metric at that point.
The Soviets had a huge air advantage, permitting them to both bomb Wehrmacht positions and avoid bombing of their own, and also providing enormous reconaissance advantages.
They had more fuel and more motorized forces, which allowed them to maneuver more fully, something that their intelligence advantages, not just in aerial recon, but in far better signint, let them identify weak points and move towards them.
They had more and better artillery, they had ironed out the worst of their tactical deficiencies, and Heer quality had been declining for some time with the losses earlier in the war being made up with rawer recruits and people who previously weren't in the physical fitness requirements.
It's like asking why the Poles got wrecked so hard in September of 1939. They were outweighed and outclassed, simple as that.
>>
>>1712010
Part of it also had to do with intelligence. IIRC Hitler sent like half of army group centers tanks and 2/3rds of its artillery south in preparation for a soviet attack there.
I've been told there's only two types of historians:
Those that believe people of the past were fundamentally the same as us moderns and those that believe the people of the past were fundamentally different from us moderns.
Which are you?

I've been told there's only three types of fundamental differences in time-separated humans:
Those that are cultural, those that are biological, and those that are technological.
Which is it?

I would say the first. But only because you said humans, not society
