Martin Kaltoun (MART.in)
The last American soldier killed in action during World War II on the European battlefield.
Charley Havlat was the son of Czech emigrants Antonín Havlát (born in Ronov) and Antonia Havlátová birth name Němcová. Fate has prepared for him an end full of irony.
The vehicle proved to be too slow, heavy and clumsy on land and too small to fit on the high seas. The vehicle was used by the Americans during the landing in Sicily on September 9, 1943, where it played an important role, but most of the vehicles ended up in the Red Army as part of Land-Lease deliveries. The irony is that the Russians found it so useful in crossing rivers that it became the basis for the development of their own post-war version (GAZ-46).
Ivan Mikhailovich Chissov, a war pilot with an unwanted record. If the parachute does not open, one can enter the list of war losses or the record book. This man did the latter. The flight attendant overcame him.
B-17 Shooter Story "Snap! Crackle! Pop!" S / Sgt Alan Mageeho.
Operation Jaywick was a special operation undertaken in World War II. In September 1943, 14 commandos and sailors from the Allied Z Special Unit raided Japanese shipping in Singapore Harbour, sinking six ships.
This Czechoslovak passive searcher was developed mainly on the basis of patents of doc. Vlastimil Pech CSc., who was the first to bring the technique of detecting the target using the time-hyperbolic method, a system today called English TDOA (time difference of arrival / capture (signals)), to such perfection that it was possible to track the target accurately and display it in real time.
Mars, Martin, Saint Martin What do these three have in common, or the journey from God, the protector of the harvest, through the god of the warrior to the Christian saint, the patron saint of soldiers.
He was the worst and yet he became a movie star. He became Goliath in a clash with a modern-day David. Though almost exclusively Hungarian, his strength came from Bohemia. And who or what is this mysterious star?
Meet the tragic star of the movie screen, the dreadnought of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, SMS Szent István.
Cromwell is one of the most controversial figures in British and Irish history, considered a regicidal dictator, a military dictator, a bourgeois revolutionary, and a hero of liberty. His tolerance of Protestant sects did not extend to Catholics, and some later scholars have characterised the measures he took against them, particularly in Ireland, as genocidal or near-genocidal. His record is strongly criticised in Ireland, although the worst atrocities took place after he had returned to England. He was selected as one of the ten greatest Britons of all time in a 2002 BBC poll.
