#Year 1941

[secondworldwarremembrancedays]

Remember the Battle of Moscow: October 1941–January 1942.

ore than a million German troops were thrown into the attack on Moscow, as Hitler ordered that the city should be razed to the ground rather than captured.

At first, the German progress was rapid; by November 15 of 1941, they had fought to within 18 miles of the city. Then, they were slowed by the Russian resistance, and an early winter set in, with temperatures dropping well below zero degrees Fahrenheit. The German supply chain failed, and Russian marshal Zhukov threw his reserve of Siberian divisions into a counterattack.

By January, the Germans were pushed back by more than 100 miles. Russian casualties were heavy, but the German momentum was broken.

• What happened in the bathroom? •

It's a huge page (8 panels), so it will take a while~ Plus, I'm still recovering from chicken pox, but I'm feeling better already!

Notes: no, it's not 1941, but they kinda took the same outfit?🫢✨🔥

do y'all realise how insane some of our tags look to people outside the fandom. "1941" "1967" "the bandstand" "the archangel fucking gabriel" respectfully what the hell are we talking about

After the performance, they watched the shooting stars together✨️

Happy New Year and thank you for caring about the silly things I draw💗

"The whole business is probably my fault. See, the tradition also insists that the Talbots be the stiff-necked, undemonstrative type. Frequently, this has been carried to very unhappy extremes." "Don't I know that." "Larry. Let's decide, you and I, that between us there shall be no more such reserve." "I'll do everything that I can, sir."

Lon Chaney Jr. as Lawrence Talbot and Claude Rains as Sir John Talbot in The Wolf Man (1941)

The visual mirroring between these two moments is just so good.

The differnce between Crowley's genuine attempt to disuade Aziraphle thinking that he is doing good (soon he'll take off his glasses and show his eyes, the mark of his demonic nature, to Aziraphale as a threat - a reminder of what he is) and his warning reminder to Aziraphale that hell can't think this was a decision he made in his right mind (moving in close and tilting his head to look at Aziraphale over the top of his glasses, not as a threat but to remove a layer between them and show his seriousness unobstructed)

The differnce between the resolve in the set of Aziraphales jaw as he stares into the face of his supposed enemy (his belief in Crowley's goodness is so defiant, something we know Aziraphale needs to muster a lot of courage to bring about in himself) and his fond smile as his friend gives him the same admonishment he has hundreds - thousands? - of times before (he can count on Crowley's goodness as a given, the ease and softness he feels with Crowley is so natural to his character)

Just. So. Good.

Even though Dick is the youngest of the oringal Titans, he was still the most experienced and the 1st sidekick! I think your comic is really funny, and those fics bug me as well, but I had to say Dick is widely regarded as THEE first child hero, I have to rep my man and straighten facts. Hope this didn't irritate you and take care!

Oh don't worry friend I am well aware that Dick was the first side kick but I think its also important to point out that doesn't matter bc both speedy and kid flash existed before the justice league formed so no matter what if Batman is introducing Robin to the justice league atleast a couple of them would already have kid sidekicks which was the point of the comic

Remember the Battle of the Atlantic: September 1939–May 1943.

Submarine warfare had some impact in the First World War, but became vastly more significant in WWII as the German U-boat packs aimed to blockade Europe. Merchant ships took to sailing in large convoys, protected by screens of destroyers and corvettes armed with depth charges and sonar. Daring U-Boat commanders carried out torpedo attacks within the defensive screen, and when several submarines attacked at once, the defenders had little chance of striking back.

In the end, the Battle of the Atlantic was eventually won by technology. Radar to detect U-Boats from the surface, radio interception, and code-breaking all played a part. By the end of the war, more than 3,000 merchant ships had been sunk, as well as almost 800 U-Boats.
