On this tank the fedayeen sat on the main guns, wrecked the M240 and forcing to the loader to retreat and turn in.

Gunner responded by firing Coax.

There's a rumour that in another tank column the commander turned out and beat someone to death with a tank shell.

>Chinese and Malaysian women forcibly relocated from Penang in Malaysia by the Japanese to work as “comfort women” are liberated by the British on South Andaman Island. Comfort women were women and girls forced into a prostitution corps created by Japanese forces. Young women in countries under Japanese occupation were abducted from their homes or rounded up on the streets of cities or small villages. In many cases, women were also lured with promises of work in factories or restaurants. Once recruited, the women were incarcerated in “comfort stations” in foreign lands under Imperial Japanese control. It is estimated that approximately 200,000 women were recruited or kidnapped by soldiers to serve in Japanese military brothels. Port Blair, South Andaman Island, Andaman Islands, India. October 1945.

>The Massacre of Kondomari. On 2 June 1941, German Fallschirmjäger rounded up the civilians of the Cretan village of Kondomari in one of a long series of mass reprisals on the Greek island of Crete. The execution of the men of Kondomari was orchestrated by Wehrmacht Generaloberst Kurt Student in retaliation for the civilian participation during the Battle of Crete, which had ended in a German victory only two days prior. Throughout the Battle of Crete, the Allied forces and Cretan civilians had inflicted heavy losses of lives on the Wehrmacht soldiers. In particular, the unprecedented resistance from the local population exasperated the German sense of military order, according to which no one but professional soldiers should be allowed to fight. Generaloberst Student in particular, blamed the civilians of Kondomari for the death of a few German soldiers whose bodies had been found near the village. Four trucks full of German Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers) from the III Battalion of Luftlande-Sturm-Regiment 1

>Caused by the British, the crater resulted when the 19 mines they dug and placed underneath the German positions near Messines in West Flanders was detonated on 7 June 1917. A total of 10,000 soldiers were killed in the blast, amongst those casualties was nearly the entire 3rd Royal Bavarian Division.

>In the history of man, the blast is considered to be the biggest non-nuclear explosion, and was heard in both Dublin and London.

>On the east side of the Chosin Reservoir, CCF 80th Division troops killed about 300 helpless men from the US 31st Regimental Combat Team. Almost all the men were wounded, who had been packed like sardines into trucks or trailers. Abandoned by 3-31, the rear guard during the RCT's precipitous dash for safety with the Marines at Hagaru-ri, the wounded were trapped at a fire block. They were mostly killed by thermite grenades, thrown into the halted vehicles. A hideous death.

>Hundreds of other 31RCT wounded, left behind because of limited space in the trucks, presumably met a similar fate.

It's true. I remember getting shown this in AIT and having our instructor just destroy everything about what the medics were doing.
Basically the medic had no clue what to do, and assumed he needed to cut open his neck for an emergency cric but in reality his airway was still open miraculously, he just needed to sit up so it could drain.
But the fucktard medic kept forcing him to lie down, basically drowning him in his own blood all while he takes years and years to decide to make the completely unnecessary cut.
If that platoon sergeant wasn't there to help the whole situation would have been even more of a shitshow.
Apparently the medic was relieved of line medic duties and stuck in a clinic to do nothing but how true that is is debatable.

The Cowra breakout occurred on 5 August 1944, when at least 1,104 Japanese prisoners of war being held at the Cowra POW camp in New South Wales attempted a mass escape. It was the largest prison escape of the war and one of the bloodiest. During the ensuing manhunt, four Australian soldiers and 231 Japanese soldiers were killed and 108 prisoners were wounded. The remaining escapees were all eventually recaptured and imprisoned. Cowra POW camp, near Cowra, New South Wales, Australia. 5 August 1944.

>Photo taken during the Battle of Verdun, one of the most deadliest battles of Great War. Verdun is located on the border of France and Germany. Upon the recommendation of Falkenhayn, who stated that the key to winning the war was not fighting the Eastern Front (Russia), but instead to fight the Western Front. Falkenhayn argued that if France was defeated than Britain would either surrender or be defeated later. The Kaiser agreed to allow the battle to take place.

>On 16 December 1971, the Pakistani army surrendered. It was the end of 9-month long war, but signalled the beginning of the Great Bengali Revenge. It began with the killing of Monaem Khan, a loyalist, anti-Bengali and ex-governor of East Pakistan in the capital Dacca. What happened next on December 18th was carefully recorded above. Three photos show Mukti Bahiti extracting revenge on the people who sided with Pakistan during the independence movement. After torturing them for hours, they bayoneted and executed these four men, who were suspected of collaborating with Pakistani militiamen who had been accused of murder, rape and looting. The last picture shows a relative of one of these four men being stomped to death by Mukti Bahini.
The controversy surrounding the photos were that many photographers deemed that the massacre would never have occurred if they (the photographers) were not there. It was as if they were invited to a ‘photo-opportunity’, many recalled. Many photographers, including Magnum’s Marc

Reminds me of a greentext I saw here.

During Vietnam Pattons were given flechette rounds to cut through brush. Basically lots of tiny knives stuck into a 90mm shell. Apparently one column gets jumped by VC, climbing on top trying to shoot though vision slits. Well that tank's commander radios the guy behind him for a "backscratch". 2nd tank sends the flechette directly into the lead tank.

No more VC. At least that's how the story goes.
