Auschwitz, Poland

Soldiers of the 100th Infantry Division of the Red Army entered the camp around 9 am on Saturday, 27 January 1945.

Roughly 7,000 prisoners are found alive.

In the time from 1940 to 1945 an estimated 1,080,000–1,085,000 were killed within its walls.

79 years since the liberation. 35 years since I first learned of it in school. 35 years since I first saw pictures of the dead. 35 years since I learned in detail what humans are capable of doing to other human beings. 79 years and facism becomes more and more fasionable again all around the world. I'm in my core an optimist, but on days like today I'm scared shitless due to the fact, that history has the habit to repeat itself. Humans have the habit to forget.

I dont't.

„Ihr seid nicht schuld an dem, was war, aber verantwortlich dafür, dass es nicht mehr geschieht. “

"You are not responsible for what happened. But you are responsible for it not happening again."

(Max Mannheimer 1920-2016, Holocaust survivor)

When Steven Spielberg first showed John Williams (the composer of the film) a cut of this film, Williams was so moved he had to take a walk outside for several minutes to collect himself.

Upon his return, he told Spielberg he deserved a better composer.

Spielberg replied, "I know, but they're all dead."

Today commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Holocaust is the name given to the systematic murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime during the Second World War.

The date marks the anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camp at Auschwitz on 27th January 1945. Auschwitz was liberated by soldiers of the 100th Infantry Division and the 60th Army of the 1st Ukrainian Front. What greeted them as they entered the gates of the largest of Auschwitz's three main camps, Birkenau, was a vision of hell.

For the dead, and the living, we must bear witness. We remember and we must never forget. Never again! 🕯️

For the first time, French Rafale fighters are deployed in Lithuania for Baltic air policing

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/02/2022 - 08:30 in Military

The Polish Air Force, which strengthened the NATO Air Policing Mission in the Baltic States from Lithuania, took over the leadership of the Hungarian mission on December 1. The reinforcement has a first detachment of four Rafale fighters, the most powerful fighter in France, never deployed in Lithuania before.

Previously, the French Ministry of Defense had said that Paris would deploy four Rafale fighters in Lithuania from November 25 as part of NATO's military reinforcement to protect airspace over the Baltic countries.

"The importance of NATO's air defense today cannot be exaggerated. Countries agreed to intensify deterrence and defense, including in the air domain, in Madrid. We recognize that air defense capabilities should play a stronger role in ensuring security in the Baltic region,” Poland's Deputy Minister of National Defense, Vilius Semeska said at the inauguration ceremony.

French multifunction fighters will protect Lithuania's airspace by intercepting and identifying suspicious aircraft in the airspace of the Baltic States. Launched in 2004, when Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania joined NATO, Baltic Air Policing is intended to protect the three countries from air raids and provide support in the event of air emergencies, since these countries do not have their own air capacity.

The Hungarian exit rotation led the mission with four JAS39 Gripen fighters and approximately 150 military personnel - pilots, medical technical personnel, support, communications personnel and other specialists.

The four Rafale jets of the 30th Fighter Squadron landed in Lithuania to reinforce NATO's defensive and deterrent posture on the eastern flank of Europe. Its mission will be to participate in the surveillance and defense of the airspace of the Baltic states, the French Air Force tweeted.

Meanwhile, France will send Leclerc tanks and infantry combat vehicles to Romania as part of NATO's military reinforcement on its eastern flank, confirmed the French defense minister.

Sebastien Lecornu said in a statement that the reinforcements would include a reinforced armored infantry company and a Leclerc tank squad. He described the mission as "defense, deterrence and protection".

In addition to the Rafale fighters to Lithuania, France is also sending a light infantry company to Estonia. The implementation will be in phases and will continue until November.

The mission will cost France between $588-686 million this year alone, estimates the French Ministry of Defense. He described the accumulation of labor and military equipment on the border with Russia as "non-scalable".

The reinforcement of the NATO Air Policing Mission of Estonia's Amari Air Force Base is provided by the German Air Force Detachment with four Eurofighter fighters.

The first Medal of Honor award classified "Top Secret." Hiroshi "Hershey" H. Miyamura #KoreanWar Miyamura enlisted in the Army and entered active duty at age 19 in January 1945. As a Japanese-American from New Mexico, he volunteered for and was assigned to Company D, 100th Battalion, 442d Infantry Regimental Combat team in #WWII. He was recalled to active duty in the Korean War, and was assigned to Company H, 7th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division. On the evening of 24-25 April 1951, near Taejon-ni, Korea, Company H occupied a defensive position when it was attacked by a numerically superior force of the (Chinese) People's Volunteer Army, better known to U.S. and United Nations troops as Chinese Communist Forces. With his unit in danger of being overrun and their casualties mounting, Cpl. Miyamura, then a machine gun squad leader, left his position to engage a number of the attackers with the bayonet, and killed approximately ten of them in hand-to-hand combat. He repeatedly ordered his men to withdraw as he covered them with rifle fire and damaged the machine gun so the enemy could not use it. He continued firing the machine gun, and although severely wounded in the process, continued to fire and killed about fifty Chinese troops before he ran out of ammunition. Despite the painful injury, he continued to ferociously resist against very uneven odds until he was finally overcome and captured. Miyamura spent 28 months as a prisoner of war. Meanwhile, in recognition of his extraordinary heroism in the battle, the recommendation for the Medal of Honor made its way through the military channels of evaluation and consideration. Because he was a POW, and recognizing the potential propaganda coup the Communists could exploit, the documents were classified "Top Secret," a first in the history of the Medal of Honor. In October of 1953 after the ended and he returned home, President Dwight D. Eisenhower presented now Staff Sergeant Hiroshi "Hershey" H. Miyamura the Medal of Honor in a ceremony at the White House. He died on 29 November 2022, age 97. #armyhistory #MOH #USArmy #TRADOC #MilitaryHistory Posted @withregram • @armyhistory (at Middle Tennessee Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnznL7vu4yQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Memories from Stalingrad:

Part of the memoirs of Josef Goblirsch who fought assigned to the 54th Jäger Regiment of the 100th Jäger Division: “The first action that our regiment had to undertake was the conquest of the unique Hill 102 that dominated all of Stalingrad, the Mamayev Kurgan. We had taken this height, crowned by two cylindrical water towers to the south of the highest point, on September 14, but it was lost to the Soviets again on September 16. Now it was the renewed objective of our Division. We knew it would be a tall order against a hardened and untold enemy. We knew his rigorous way of fighting from many previous encounters.

At 03:00 on September 27, preparations began, and at 05:00 a preparatory barrage was unleashed by our artillery, which the Soviets immediately answered with heavy defensive fire. A salvo from Stalin's organ landed in a ravine killing fifteen Jäger troops and wounding 100 men from two neighboring companies. There were only minor injuries in my unit. The silent conduct of wounded or dying comrades only impressed me at the beginning of the war, no more. At 0630 hrs our Regiment attacked. The first target was Hill 102 immediately north of us. It had been a favorite excursion spot for the city's population in earlier times. From this commanding height almost the entire city and shipping on the Volga could be controlled. The platoons had been assigned to the Jäger Company led by me now attached to the 2nd Battalion, 54th Jäger Regiment. After heavy losses, we advanced only 200 meters. Casualties increased, but around 0900 hrs we reached the first objective, a ravine about 100 meters from the water towers. The incessant Soviet mortar fire kept us upside down: Stukas and shelling did little good. At 1:00 p.m. they ordered us to barricade ourselves.

Stiff resistance from the Soviet 269th Infantry Regiment prevented any further advance. Huddled in shell craters and trenches abandoned by the Soviets, tending to small wounds, we eagerly awaited the coming of darkness. At night we saw our end drawing near. Ten enemy bombers in the east were heading for our positions. Suddenly Luftwaffe fighters appeared and shot down half of them in less time than it takes to count. The rest moved away, still with their bombs, and disappeared over the Volga which we would have had a good view of if we had dared to raise our heads above the parapet of the shell crater in which we hid. Our own artillery did not help us in our situation. Some members of my unit had fallen, others were wounded. The medic assistants were overworked and exhausted just like all of us: shooting, jumping, digging, shouting orders through the heat of battle. As night fell we were relieved by a reinforced Jäger company to refresh our staff and our spirits. The wheeled vehicle platoon had been reduced to ten exhausted men, only 30% of its authorized strength. The next day the remnants of my unit rested in the barracks behind the first staging rooms on the road to Gumrak.

We learned that the slopes of Hill 102 facing the Volga and the city quarter behind it had come under a very heavy air attack at 0630 hrs. Stukas launched with sirens blaring, hundreds of bombs dropped from He-111 bomb bays. Our own artillery fired incessantly over our heads at targets on Hill 102 and the railway embankment to the east. After a long rocket barrage they heard infantry fire and also hand grenades, but despite the greatest effort accompanied by heavy casualties, neither the water towers nor the hill fell.

Two days later I received woefully inexperienced reinforcements as the battle for Hill 102 drew near and the northern section of the railway station continued with undiminished ferocity. It was mainly Croats from our division who were able to advance to the railway embankment east of Hill 102 the next day. Soon our entire battalion was disbanded. The soldiers of my company were totally exhausted, the wheeled vehicle section was reduced to ten men. We were now ready to support the 2nd Battalion in their attack on the northern section of the main railway station. The objective of this attack was to encircle the Soviets defending Hill 102...
