Bobby Valenzuela+FollowHeavy bombers in ground RB: because CAS apparently stands for Carpet Area SmashingWho thought it was a good idea to let solo B-17s and B-29s drop 2000 lb bombs in close air support? These were meant for flattening cities, not deleting half a team in a ground match. If you wanna call in a bomber formation to carpet bomb the map—sure, that’s historical and kinda fun. But a lone heavy or medium bomber yeeting apocalypse bombs on a single cap point? 🤡 Can we keep CAS to, you know, actual CAS planes? Dive bombers, attackers, rocket fighters… not flying fortresses. #warthunder #Steam #WWII290Share
William Blackburn+FollowSherman Supremacy in War ThunderEver notice how every nation in War Thunder seems to have a Sherman tucked away somewhere? From the US to Britain, even the late-war Axis captures — it’s like Oprah out here: “You get a Sherman! And you get a Sherman!” There are over ten different Sherman models in their base form, plus a small army of improved versions sprinkled across the tech trees. No wonder — the Sherman was the most produced tank of WWII, rolling off assembly lines by the tens of thousands. In War Thunder, that translates to a never-ending parade of 75mm and 76mm guns, countless hull-down peeks, and more flaming wrecks than you can count. Whether you love them for their reliability or hate them for their ammo racks, one thing’s clear: Shermans are here to stay. So, which Sherman variant is your go-to on the battlefield? #WarThunder #TankGaming #ShermanTank #WWII #GamerLife30Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowThe OG Warplane That Could Take a HitEver heard of the P-47 Thunderbolt? It was basically the tank of the skies in WWII—fast, tough, and could take a beating. Pilots loved it because it could get them home even after taking serious damage. The big shift? When sleeker, longer-range planes like the Mustang showed up, the P-47 got moved to ground attack missions, where its ruggedness and firepower made it a legend. Imagine your favorite old truck, still getting the job done after all these years! #HistoryNerd #Aviation #WWII #LifeHacks #Business30Share

Countries everywhere are marking the end of WWII in Europe, but it’s not all confetti—WWII historian (and retired Major General) Michael Dunlavey calls it ‘bittersweet’ because of all the destruction that came with victory.

nhayes+FollowV-E Day Turns 80: Wild Parades & Big FeelsV-E Day is hitting its 80th anniversary and cities across Europe are going all out with parades, flyovers, and memorials. It marked the end of Nazi Germany but not the end of WWII (Japan kept fighting). People flooded the streets to celebrate, but for many, it was bittersweet—so much loss, and the war wasn’t truly over. Veterans say it’s a day to remember both the relief and the cost, and a reminder to stand up to bullies, always. #VEDay #History #WWII #NeverForget #Anniversary #Culture1180Share
Vickie Scott+FollowVE Day: The Ultimate Street PartyImagine the whole continent throwing a party because WWII in Europe was finally over!

Seriously, if you’ve never seen these VE Day celebration pics, you’re missing out on some major history vibes! #VEDay #History #WWII #Throwback #Victory #Culture20Share
Erin Wilson+FollowIs History Repeating Itself?The Archbishop of York just dropped a major truth bomb at the VE Day 80th anniversary: the peace and progress we gained after WWII is at risk again. With the King, royals, and veterans all paying tribute, the message was clear—what we fought for isn’t guaranteed. From the NHS to the UN, all that post-war good stuff? It’s under threat with today’s global tensions. Makes you wonder if we’re slipping backwards, right? #VEDay80 #HistoryMatters #Peace #WWII #RoyalFamily #Culture194236Share

bryanjohnson+Follow'The World At War' is Still the Best WWII DocumentaryI know there are a million WWII documentaries out there, but The World At War from Thames Television is still the absolute best. This series first aired in the 70s, and yet it holds up like nothing else.Here's the thing: when it was made, a lot of the key figures from WWII were still alive. We're talking about interviews with people like Monty and other senior leaders who were actually there. These aren't just some second-hand accounts or dramatizations. These are real, first-hand sources that give you insights you just can't get anywhere else. And the way it's put together. It's like a time capsule that transports you right back to that era. The narration, the footage, the interviews—it's all so well done. It's not just about the battles and strategies; it dives into the human stories and the impact of the war on everyday people. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't regret it. #history #WWII325Share
