It's seriously one of the bloodiest I've ever read. The Germans and Russians basically turned the city into a humongous meat grinder. While the Germans fought with the better equipment and trained soldiers, the Russians made use of their advantage of sheer numbers (due to employment of civilian militias) to overwhelm their enemies.
The first part that touched me with the Russians' bravery was when the Soviets' 1077th Anti-Aircraft Regiment became the main defense of the city at first. The thing was, this AA regiment was made up of female volunteers untrained in fighting land targets. They had no help from the other Soviet units but they fought till every single one of their AA guns were down. By the way the ladies were fighting Panzers (German tanks), not planes!
It was estimated that during the battle, the life expectancy of a new Soviet Private in the city was below 24 hours, while that of a Soviet officer was 3 days. In other words, most Russian soldiers don't survive the day in which they arrived. As I've mentioned before, it was a freakin meat grinder.
With the amount of artillery bombing the city, it is no wonder that even today, it is dangerous to stand under trees in certain parts of the city because all the shrapnels in them help attract lightning from the sky.
Another interesting part is about this Soviet sniper named Vasily Zaytsev, who attached his scope to an anti-tank rifle so that he could snipe through brick walls. What the f*ck?!? That's a positively insanely ingenious idea lol! Btw he had 242 verified kills in the battle and many others that were not recorded, with some estimates being about 500 total.
Iceland gets the world's first homosexual PM and she is also Iceland's first female PM. She was the only politician there to gain public support last year even though everyone else lost the people's confidence.
Actually I think the same way as the Icelanders in that I have no objection to whatever the politician is. If he/she is good at the job, I see little reason not to vote for him/her. I mean, the Prime Minister is supposed to rule, so who cares even if he has a fetish for fecal matter or is a bisexual?
Now that Iceland has a lesbian Prime Minister, this is going to set a precedent for everyone else in the days to come. Will Southeast Asia ever warm up to the idea of gay rights and accept homosexuals not as subhumans but our equals?
Or will we be forever ruled by religious beliefs from the Middle Ages?
Sometimes I think someone like the Emperor Qin needs to rise again, burn some books and massacre some "intellectuals" so that the people would wake the f*ck up.
Btw Iceland in Chinese is 冰島, which not surprisingly means "ice island".
Just saw a very interesting question: Why does the Pope, who is guaranteed a place next to God in the afterlife, need to travel in his bullet-proof "Popemobile"?
Is this wrong or is this wrong? And check out the hairy asscrack!
This baby must have the most screwed up hormones ever. I never knew that babies even have pubic hair, let alone ass hair!Fortunately this isn't some insane toy from China, but the work of an artist. The pictures are taken from his website.
Here's a wallpaper of Dawn of War II. It's going to be released in the US on the coming 19th of Feb, which probably means its torrent will be available on the 20-21st of Feb. Watched one of its demo videos from last year and found its models very similar to the first DoW.
