This is laughable, but it’s also so emblematic of the cult of victimhood. To them, the suffering, real and imagined, is the end. The ability to persevere and overcome carries no meaning and isn’t part of the conversation.

On one hand, this is a cheap scary force multiplier. On the other, part of what makes containerized missiles so scary is not knowing which vessels carry them. Not much of a concern here.

German tankers had a tendency to count their kills very optimistically. #OTD in 1943 instructions were given by the 18th Army, reminding its tankers that not all enemy tanks that were hit counted as destroyed, especially not those that drove away afterwards. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Following the fall of France in 1940, British shipping in came under increasing threat from Luftwaffe aircraft. The FW 200s of KG 40 were a particular concern, initially from bombing attacks but increasingly in shadowing convoys and reporting their position for U-Boats.

Pretty impressive record
Despite the relatively large number of CAM ships, only eight combat launches took place, resulting in three Focke-Wulf 200s, four Heinkel 111s and a Junkers 88 being shot down. Several more aircraft were driven off, however. One M.S.F.U. pilot was killed and another wounded.
