>>29373675
Saw the Daniel Pearl beheading video in third or fourth grade. Fucked me up for a bit, and I can still vividly remember the scream he made during the initial cut.
It also pretty much completely desensitized me to images of gore and violence. Nothing is really able to shock me, except stuff like shoveldog. And even that is only mild discomfort.

>Yin Ziqi had besieged the city for a long time. The food in the city had run out. The dwellers traded their children to eat and cooked bodies of the dead. Fears were spread and worse situations were expected. At this time, Zhang Xun took his concubine out and killed her in front of his soldiers in order to feed them. He said, "You have been working hard at protecting this city for the country wholeheartedly. Your loyalty is uncompromised despite the long-lasting hunger. Since I can't cut out my own flesh to feed you, how can I keep this woman and just ignore the dangerous situation?" All the soldiers cried, and they did not want to eat. Zhang Xun ordered them to eat the flesh. Afterwards, they caught the women in the city. After the women were run out, they turned to old and young males. 20,000 to 30,000 people were eaten. People always remained loyal.

>On the same day, the Soviet 13th Guards Rifle Division commanded by Alexander Rodimtsev arrived in the city from the east side of the river Volga under heavy German artillery fire. The division's 10,000 men immediately rushed into the battle. On 16 September they recaptured Mamayev Kurgan and kept fighting for the railway station, taking heavy losses. By the following day, almost all of them had died. The Soviets kept reinforcing their units in the city as fast as they could. The Germans assaulted up to twelve times a day, and the Soviets would respond with fierce counter-attacks.
>The hill changed hands several times. By 27 September, the Germans again captured half of Mamayev Kurgan. The Soviets held their own positions on the slopes of the hill, as the 284th Rifle Division defended the key stronghold. The defenders held out until 26 January 1943, when the counterattacking Soviet forces relieved them. The battle of the city ended one week later with an utter German defeat.
>When the battle ended, the soil on the hill had been so thoroughly churned by shellfire and mixed with metal fragments that it contained between 500 and 1,250 splinters of metal per square meter. The earth on the hill had remained black in the winter, as the snow kept melting in the many fires and explosions. In the following spring the hill would still remain black, as no grass grew on its scorched soil. The hill's formerly steep slopes had become flattened in months of intense shelling and bombardment. Even today, it is possible to find fragments of bone and metal still buried deep throughout the hill.
they found the skeletons of a german and russian who simultaneously bayoneted each other and where then killed and buried by an explosion.

That's 300,000 turks beaten and mostly killed by 6,000ish soldiers and 500-1000 knights hospitallers.

They had muskets, bows, cannons, ALOT of cannons, ships, FIRE HOOPS, fire bombs, spears, swords, axes, knives, rocks and armored fists in this siege. Muskets were used as sharpshooter weapons by the turks, they had the better guns, but there was alot of hand to hand fighting still. Even the grandmaster of the order, who was an older man already, fought hand to hand. His ancient rival was also finally killed, but by dumb luck. But I don't think Dragut deserved a warrior's death anyway.
It was also likely that the knights had close to 500 than 1000, but more were continually trying to join the fray as news of the siege spread.
I'm really not doing it justice, it was simply the most awful and impressive fight there ever could be. At least I've gotten to climb all over the old battle sites.

Yes yes, soviets did all the work with everyone else making their material and/or supply the resources. Soviets stronk military that don't need no logistics.
They'd all have had bad death if the western allies had not helped them. If you're really a slavaboo, then you SHOULD be upset that the western allies purposely used stupid soviets as cannon fodder, because they certainly were not a professional military by western standards. It really is almost shameful how the west used those commies. Almost.
>>29377348
You're assuming things I didn't even say.
Battle of Zorndorf
Fredrick's Army tried to enclose the Russians by using an Oblique formation, with his left being much stronger than the right.
But because unfavorable terrain didn't allow the Russian army to move at all, and the Prussian left couldn't break the Russian resistance in time, it turned into an extremely bloody clash along the entire front of both lines.

China couldn't expel them over a decade of fighting. Only after the US spent 3.5 years adding pressure by island grinding and burning Japan to the ground did they win. It's really a team effort.
Truthfully, the Chinese side of the war is woefully underrepresented. Try talking to 20-somethings today about Nanking & Unit 731 and you get blank stares half the time. My weeaboo friends' reactions were priceless.
>>29377413
>Try talking to 20-somethings today about Nanking & Unit 731 and you get blank stares half the time.
Are you talking to 20-somethings who are interested in history, or random friends? If you talk to anybody about anything WW2 besides what's taught in high school, you should expect a blank stare.
