The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a
short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate
parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from
them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to
the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British
Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.
Speedbird 206: " Frankfurt , Speedbird 206! clear of active runway."
Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven." The BA 747
pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location
now."
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not
been to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I
didn't land."

TheRaid on the Medway, sometimes called theBattle of the Medway,Raid on Chathamor theBattle of Chatham, was a successfulDutchattack on the largest English naval ships, laid up in the dockyards of their main naval baseChatham, that took place in June 1667 during theSecond Anglo-Dutch War. The Dutch, under nominal command of Lieutenant-AdmiralMichiel de Ruyter, bombarded and then captured the town ofSheerness, sailed up theRiver ThamestoGravesend, then up theRiver Medwayto Chatham, where they burned threecapital shipsand ten lesser naval vessels and towed away theUnityand theRoyal Charles, pride and normalflagshipof the English fleet. The raid led to a quick end to the war and a favourable peace for the Dutch.

fun fact
there were a number of British defectors in the Dutch navy who were able to give the Dutch detailed information concerning the Medways defences. They had originally defected due to the Royal Navy failing to pay their salary
the lesson is: always make sure you pay your troops

>Paraguayan War
>some claim that almost 70% of Paraguay's adult male population died—and was forced to cede territory to Argentina and Brazil.
>One estimate places total Paraguayan losses—through both war and disease—as high as 1.2 million people, or 90% of its pre-war population.
