The leader of a daring World War Two raid to thwart Nazi Germany's nuclear ambitions has died aged 99. Joachim Roenneberg, serving behind enemy lines in his native Norway during the German occupation, in 1943 blew up a plant producing heavy water, or D2O, a hydrogen-rich substance that was key to the later development of atomic bombs. Picked by Britain's war-time Special Operations Executive to lead the raid when he was only 23 years old, Roenneberg was the youngest member of Operation Gunnerside, which penetrated and destroyed key parts of the heavily guarded Norsk Hydro plant.

It is amazing how long some of these vets lived to be. A testimony to the good lives they lived after such horrific experiences during the war.

Solid dudes, every one I met.

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Wish we had more men around like him today, then Trump, Orban, Maduro, and other enemies of liberal civilization would stand no chance.

Two uncles were part of the band of brothers. One lived to 84, the other 96.

Unlike these, right?

I assume most of them are dead now too.

Damned ungrateful liberal...

For thinking that tens of thousands of Americans died to liberate the Philippines that are barely our ally, hosts terrorists, steals, our jobs, and executes in own citizens on the streets without the benefit of due process among its many many human rights violations was hardly worth it? Sure. You got me.

Maybe you should ask those Philippines who fought along side of those men what they thought of them.
The Philippine Islands were a strategic part of the Pacific, occupied by our enemy, a very brutal enemy at that.
You an an insult to every free American if you think their sacrifices were less heroic than any other who served in a time of war for this country.

Yada Yada Yada. The Philippines are good for two things--being able to order a cheap pair of shoes or a wife through the mail.

Do you also burn the American flag and kneel for the Anthem?

You stupid moron. The krauts built the two atomic bombs we dropped on japan.

You ask why didn't the krauts use the bombs against the allies? They only had two and that was not enough to win the war. THINK

Burning the flag is a traditional and preferred method of retiring them here in America. What people do back home in Russia with them depends on your society's traditions.

I didn't ask how we Americans retire a worn and weathered flag. I asked if you burn the American flag and kneel for the Anthem.

Maybe I use them as a prayer rug when kneeling toward Mecca. You just never know....and knowing wouldn't change your assumptions anyway.

This is a thread about a great man who helped saved the world, if you don't want to talk about that then kindly fuck off out of the thread.

Too bad, eh maggot- a true war hero almost totally ignored. What a bunch of ingrates.

Not even a mention in the Izraeli press. Where the fuck has gratitude gone ?

He didn't help save the world. Our nuclear bombs didn't destroy the world and we set off a bunch of them in addition to the ones we dropped on Japan. There Japan is alive and well. Some people reserve the term hero for those who died. That guy didn't even come under fire. You apparently like using the term for anybody old who dies, so fuck off right back at you.
