Not sure when this footage was entered, so surprised my comment is the first. My Grandad died in this campaign, he was in the Northumberland Hussars, my hero, God rest his soul. Lest we forget 🇬🇧🇬🇧♥️♥️ x

A British tactical defeat And A Strategic Victory For the Allies = the definitive wing-clipping of the nazi para division. A nazi spectacular Pyrrhic victory And A Staggering Strategic defeat for Hitler = NO para division to jump on Malta.

You realize the soviets were responsible for more deaths than nazi germany right? That Stalin was a psychopathic dictator? You should be ashamed of yourself wearing that despotic imagery, you’re really not much better than someone LARPing as a nazi.
