The soldiers who worked there should have been made of metal or atleast have a complete disregard for the other sides life. A skill that must be prevalent if you are to survive in war. Both sides played the game and payed the price for their country. Whether that meant committing a war crime or not or being deemed a deserter. That's that. Hitler himself wasnt the only monster in ww2. There were contenders for that before and during and even after his time. It's best not to dictate who deserves it and who doesnt because you dont know the person.

    The V-1's weren't filled with just enough fuel to make it to their target, they actually had a way cooler way of coming down on their targets. That little prop in the nose of the missile was actually connected to a series of clockwork like gearing inside that could be set so after X number of turns of the prop it would engage the elevators and pitch the bomb downwards towards and onto the target.

    Something similar to #5 happened when Italy invaded Greece in 1940. While Italy's Air Force was not strong, compared to, say, the UK, it was far larger and better equipped than the meager force the Greeks could marshall. Still, one pilot, Marinos Mitralexis (you can look him up) managed to shoot one Italian plane down and, being out of ammo, used his propeller to damage another plane enough to force it to land (his own plane, a Polish made PZL P24, sustained enough damage so he too had to land. He managed to capture the 4-man crew by the use of his pistol!!

    You guys may want to meet my grandfather who ended up in the Vietnam War. He refused to carry arms and ended up as a translator. He had a few mishaps including one time where he was trapped in a base that was known to be claimed by the opposing army in the morning. One person drove up a van and saved him (not his van) and the two became friends. Later the pair were grabbing beer for troops and got trapped with the opposing side surrounding them. Being an unarmed translator meant 1) He couldn't fight and 2) he knew what they were saying. He heard and followed their instructions for awhile then signaled to his friend. Both dove into the beer and threw the cans down the hill. As they did this my grandfather yelled "FREE BEER" in vietnamese. Being late teens to early 20's, the surrounding troops naturally cheered and laughed as the sound of opening cans came from below. Everyone left and my grandfather and his friend returned to camp. Alas, I'm fairly sure there wasn't much beer left after that.
    You need another one of his stories? How about the fact that his grandfather (or something like that) when on a boat coming to the US from Ireland lost a bet to a known criminal. The deal was that they both used his name and left in different ends of the line thus leaving undetected. For awhile we thought this was fake until my family met another family on social media with the same last name and story that we had no idea existed. None of us know who is related to who. Those are my couple stories for now, crazy thing is that is only the beginning of my grandfather's crazy stories. Not to mention my grandmother AND other side of the family!

    Reminded me of a true story which happened in the seventies set up by a devious dairy farmer.
    The farmer approached a local dairy delivering milk locally and asked if they would sell him old milk bottles to stand up on end and cover with plywood to make a warm floor for his calves. They sold him 20,0000 old bottles for virtually nothing. He then started selling organic milk from his farm in direct competition to the dairy!
    It ended up starting a milk war with his delivery vehicles having water put in fuel tanks and tyres slashed!

    You know what they did actualy? They sent children with granades and molotoves againts the tanks, hoping that the tank crew will not shoot "inocant children"! Ofcourse the most tank were shoot them because the molotov easly flowed in the tank making it in to a men cooking owen...
    This jelly and jam tactic must be a mith or some sorth of fake information, or one occasion that almost noone knows. I never heard of it, and I am Hungarian that lived his whole life in Budapest.

    The bridge story is not only real, it was one of many such incidents. During the cold war, the US and Soviet Union engaged in a regular game of one-upsmansip, buying each other expensive gifts as proof of their superiority. The Marine base in Yuma AZ has an airplane hanger with a giant Soviet flag mural painted on it. The Soviets paid for when they heard about wildfires caused by the testing range, and inadequate fire controls (planes to dump water). They had a good laugh at the silly Americans who couldn't stop lighting themselves on fire during weapons testing, and graciously chipped in to buy a hanger for the firefighting planes. That story wasn't exactly true, it wasn't weapons testing, it was just budgeting delays for a requisitioned upgrade that was already approved, but Russian news really laid it on thick. The US said "Yeah, fuck it, we'll take the money to make operations run a bit smoother", knowing if they didn't there was nothing to stop the Soviets from running the story anyway. And the US responded in kind with similar large, back-handed purchases meant to embarrass the Soviets. The money spent on both sides was pretty much a wash, but both nations loved flexing on each other in really stupid ways.

    One more thing about 1956 Hungary: Hungarians used pans as landmines to distract the soviets and when they ended up into a dead end (by changing the route because of the "land mines") the hungarians throw a lot of molotovs to neturalize or destroy the enemy tanks (this scene also apears a movie called "Szabadság, Szerelem" {Meaning in eglish : "Freedom, Love"; this movie only hungarian}).

    After booking in to a two star hotel in Indonesia, he heard that guests were having valuables stolen while they slept. Being too late to change his plans, he decided to stay regardless. To avoid being robbed, before going to bed he left his front door wide open. He figured that the thieves would think it was a trap and move on. While others got robbed that night, he was left untouched!

    During opposing force training in the military an 'enemy' vehicle was shooting at the trailing vehicles in our convoy (mostly maintenance and kitchen). My command track was the first 'non support' vehicle at the rear and, when the enemy drove up, lacking anything that could activate its 'threat sensor' (laser tag) I picked up a clod of dirt rolling around on the roof, held it up high so the 'referee' trailing the enemy could see it. I 'pulled the pin' and lobbed the dirt at the enemy vehicle, landing on the hood and fetching up against the windscreen. The referee then 'killed' the enemy vehicle - though we lost all of our kitchen and repair vehicles to it.
    I also killed an enemy commando who snuck into our camp at night. He was killing people sleep outside their vehicles with a red magic marker. I was asleep on top of my vehicle and, when he snuck around to go after my commander & driver, I leaned over, grabbed his head, and drew my ragged, over-long thumb nail across his throat. The captain dropped like a rock and clutched his throat, thinking I had actually used a real knife. When he realized he was 'dead' he gave me a salute and trotted off into the night.
    Both ballsy bluffs that paid off.
    Likewise catching a coyote and tying the pissed off animal to a cot in the commanders' well appointed tent... I was immediately caught, since everyone knew I was the only hick crazy enough to catch a coyote - or any other animal, for that matter.

    FYI, The possession and consumption of alcohol was NOT banned in the 1920s, only the manufacture, importation, distribution, and sale of alcohol was prohibited. It would be silly to think the government could ever ban the consumption of anything.

    Flipping a V1 didn't disrupt the airflow over the wings. It toppled the internal gyroscopes that kept the missile straight and level. The gyroscopes couldn't reset themselves in their correct orientation and this caused the missile to crash.
