When the Germans invaded Stalingrad from the north on Aug 23, 1942, the Soviets were caught off-guard. They had expected the enemy to come in from other directions, and had no infantry in place to guard against the oncoming attack. The only unit in place was the 1077th Anti-Aircraft Regiment.
Without much in the way of options, the 1077th lowered their anti-aircraft guns to the lowest elevation and began firing at the oncoming tanks. Their ammunition, primarily flak rounds, was fairly ineffective against the Panzers, but they held off the oncoming troops for two days, destroying or disabling 83 tanks, 15 vehicles, holding back 3 infantry battalions, and shooting down 14 aircrafts.
It was only after the Germans had finally overrun the 1077th that they realized all this time they’d been fighting young women who were barely out of high school... the 1077th was a young all-female volunteer unit with little to no combat experience.
Let that sink in for a moment

putin should have accepted Trump’s deal.

Now russia’s collapsing economy could lead to his downfall

The war against #Ukraine has hit ordinary russians hard, and the deteriorating situation is likely to inflame tensions

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…



Last month, says The Wall Street Journal, 3 powerful businessmen “hunched over a laptop” in Miami in a bid to end the Ukraine war. Steve Witkoff, Kirill Dmitriev andJared Kushner. The trio weren’t just talking about peace. They were secretly charting a path to bringing Russia’s $2trn economy “in from the cold” – with US businesses reaping the dividends, wanting US firms to tap the $300bn of Russian assets frozen in Europe for joint investment and to mine minerals in the Arctic and travel to Mars

“Drivers Are Cutting Or Dropping Car Insurance Because It's Too Expensive”

I switched to $100/300K #LiabilityOnly for my MB ML350 & my F250 which dropped my #AutoInsurance cost in half to $500/yr because I drive them both less than 2.5k miles/yr & because they are both only worth about $10k at retail (less than 1/2 of that at wholesale) & if either were involved in an accident #StateFarm would probably "total" them & only give me pennies on the $ for in settlement.

In comparison, my MR2 & 335i, that I also drive less than 2.5k miles/yr & are each also only worth about $10k at retail, are fully covered by #Haggerty for a total of $600/yr. 🤷

folk would do it here as well, were it not for all the ANPR cameras and monthly checks (indeed some still try it, but they are usually caught quite quickly)


Just a heads up, today is the last day you can put your sprouts on to cook for Christmas


Chief Constable of West Midlands Police Craig Guildford defended his decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a football match against Aston Villa. He says the force made an informed decision based on intelligence provided by Dutch police about the conduct of Maccabi fans during a match against Amsterdam in November 2024.

He appeared before the British parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee to explain the decision to a panel of MPs, most of which declared membership of - or donations from - 'Friends of Israel' groups.
