CHURCHILL, 'DUNKIRK,' AND 'DARKEST HOUR' (VIDEO MOVIE REVIEW)

Gary Oldman as a cigar-chomping, scenery-chewing Churchill in "Darkest Hour"

The recently-released Churchill biopic "Darkest Hour" and last year's war "Dunkirk" both depict the same set of historical events.... yet the two couldn't be more different films when it comes to focus, style, and finally, message.

DRESDEN WAS *NOT* DA BOMB

Those always classy antifa femen, here nakedly endorsing genocide.

by Andy Nowicki

I couldn’t possibly add anything to Colin’s excellent summation of the Allied atrocity of the firebombing of Dresden, Germany at the tail end of World War II. This premeditatedly murderous attack on innocent and helpless men, women, and children—overwhelmingly civilians who had nothing to do with the German armament effort—was certainly one of the most grievous war crimes ever committed in human history. We hear little about it today, because history is recorded by the victors, and it was the Allies, the eventual winners of the world’s most recent global conflagration—in the specific form of Great Britain’s Royal Air Force—who were responsible for raining down an unrelenting barrage of incendiaries upon a populous city center in eastern Germany on February 13 and 14, 1945, incinerating tens of thousands and maiming thousands more in a planned terror campaign of untrammeled brutality.

LAST LETTERS HOME FROM KAMIKAZE PILOTS

Lately, I have been reading The Divine Wind, a book which details the kamikaze campaign launched by the Japanese air force during the waning months of World War II.

Kamikaze literally translates to "divine wind"; the word obtains its origin from a legend of two mighty typhoons which were ostensibly sent by the gods to protect Japan from Mongol invasions in the thirteenth century. Of course the definition of the term with which we're most familiar is the one synonymous with "suicide pilot."
