Podcasts about allied forces

Written and Narrated by Shweta Misra.First Published here https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/readersblog/creating-shared-values-for-sustainable-society/believe-it-indians-won-world-war2-29220/Consider this –Number of Soldiers in Indian Army currently- 14 lakh. approx.A number of Indian Soldiers who participated in the Second World War-A Staggering 25 lakh.Aggregating much more than1.5 times the strength of the existing Indian troops, they made the largest volunteer army of any country in the world! This information hits one like a revelation since it was never a part of history lessons in our schools and even today it is not being brought to the fore either through academics or through any other channels.More scandalous is the realization that the second world war was actually won by  Indians for the Allied Forces!  The most pivotal and decisive victory in WWII came when the Japanese army was stopped from advancing towards India via Burma. If Indian soldiers fighting under Union Jack had not disrupted  Japanese advance, they would have easily run over the Indian subcontinent and established a link with the German Army deployed in Iran. Winners of WWII would have been different then!Now come the enigmas, firstly, why Indians fought this war and secondly, why this ginormous contribution of Indians in bringing world order, not being spoken about anywhere in the world.Untangling the facts, one finds that those Indians who fought the war were young men full of nationalistic fervour who were dreaming of the ultimate Independence of their country. These were soldiers who had the assurance of the British prime minister Winston Churchill that once the war is over, India will be given Independence. These patriots fought the war as British Indian Army, laid their lives and defeated the Axis forces, only because they wanted to see their motherland break the shackles of slavery and become a free republic, post-war.If only Winston Churchill had kept his promise, the sacrifices of these Indian soldiers would have been validated. But that did not happen. On the contrary, they were simply Forgotten by Britishers because they were  Indians.The tragic part is that when India did get independence ultimately, the newly formed Indian government de-recognised the British Indian army. The pension benefits of these soldiers were terminated.But there's a solace. Not all forgot them. There is a place where their victory stories are still celebrated with pride and their history embraced with love. It is in the present Indian Army units.  Enter any of the older regiments' offices,  officer's messes, quarter guards etc. and the first thing that catches one's eye is the shine and glitter of fondly kept trophies, mementoes and memorials which are associated with the WWII veterans. Each of them features the strength, determination, valour and courage of their regimental brethren. Most Indian Army Regiments have immaculately preserved the war moments in these pieces and take immense pride displaying them, particularly for their fraternity to draw inspiration from.The details of the British Indian army should be made known to millennials.The present generation should decide whether those soldiers were really undeserving of the tag of Indian Freedom Fighters. The “freedom struggle” narrative of those who formed government immediately after India's independence can once be given a thought.The sacrifice of lakhs of  Indians during  World War II  brought world order. It should be acknowledged.#captainshwetamisra

Ha llegado el momento.

In this episode Izi takes us back almost 80 years ago to a dramatic week when two of the world's looming dictators died just two days apart. The first of the two to go was Benito ‘Il Duce' Mussolini, who on April 28th, 1945, attempted to escape Italy with his mistress to Switzerland. They were summarily caught and shot by partisans. The second notorious dictator to die was Adolf Hitler on April 30th, 1945. Their deaths came in the final days of World War II in Europe, as Allied Forces closed in on both Germany and northern Italy. The proximity of their deaths symbolically marked the collapse of the Fascist and Nazi regimes.

In this Brush Pass episode of Brush Pass, Le Carre Cast and Barbican Station podcast host Jeff Quest, gives us the lowdown on two spy-related theatrical productions: 'Operation Mincemeat' and 'Dakar 2000'. Operation Mincemeat on Broadway John Golden Theatre   252 W. 45th St., New York, NY The stunning true story of a scheme every bit as dicey, daring, and ridiculous as opening a new musical on Broadway! The best-reviewed show in West End history is now on Broadway! 74 ★★★★★ Reviews and Counting! (which, according to our calculations, adds up to 370 stars) SYNOPSIS: It's 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they've got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII. SCHEDULE: March 25–30: Tuesday @7pm, Wednesday @2pm and 7:30pm, Thursday @7pm, Friday @7:30pm, Saturday @2pm and 7:30pm, Sunday @2pm Running Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission Dakar 2000 In Senegal on the eve of Y2K, an idealistic Peace Corps volunteer survives a mysterious car accident. An imposing State Department operative immediately takes command of the situation and his safety. Though they couldn't be more different, they form an unlikely relationship. But when it becomes clear that they both have secrets, the volunteer is roped into a darker side of public service – one he can't come back from. Unpredictable at every turn, this world-premiere thriller was commissioned by Manhattan Theatre Club. Written by Rajiv Joseph (Pulitzer Prize finalist for Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo; King James at MTC) and directed by May Adrales (Vietgone and Poor Yella Rednecks at MTC).   Have you watched Operation Mincemeat and/or Dakar 2000?

When you think of World War 2, France is usually not one of the first countries you think about. That's partly because they spent a good majority of the war under occupation. Moreso the newly formed Vichy Government agreed to an armistice with the Germans putting them under occupation. There was one man who didn't surrender. That man became Free France, Charles De Gaulle. The veteran of World Wars 1 and 2 called upon himself to lead a country under occupation. De Gaulle was known for having a very high opinion of himself and his country. When no one else stepped up for France, De Gaulle stood up for France. During World War 1, World War 2, reconstruction of Europe, a potential French Civil War, and a student revolt, Charles stepped up. No matter how big of a pain De Gaulle was to the rest of the Allied leadership, he was crucial to the fight against the Germans. His love for France knew no bounds. Whether on the field of battle or the battle within the government. Join us as we get Historically High on Charles De GaulleSupport the show

This week we took it to the people, and the people agreed! Not just the people; we got the ok from The Chairman, Mighty K, and the entire 51st state of Canada! Therefore, we give you “Grave Mistake: TRIUMPH Shoulda Been Huge-er!!!”. This is part one of our celebration of an amazing power trio from Toronto that has been largely forgotten in the rock n' roll pantheon. They also happen to have Bonafide Guitar God in the band that rarely gets the praise he deserves! This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that Captain Content has mentioned before as a band he would love to dive into deeper. While not the most obscure band we've ever covered (they have multiple platinum and gold albums in the US and Canada), they have been largely forgotten as the rock giants they once were. We think they should be remembered as Titans or Rock and thus: Huge-er!!! Eh?Songs this week include:Triumph - “Street Fighter / Street Fighter Reprise” from Triumph (1976)Triumph - “Little Texas Shaker” from Rock & Roll Machine (1977)Triumph - “American Girls” from Just A Game (1979)Triumph - “Tear The Roof Off” from Progressions Of Power (1980)Triumph - “Allied Forces” from Allied Forces (1981)Triumph - “All The Way” from Never Surrender (1982)Triumph - “Fight The Good Fight” from Live At The US Festival (1983)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

The Talking Heads is known as one of the more quirky bands of the 70's and 80's, and terribly innovative in their approach to both music and performance.  Consisting of Tina Weymouth on bass, Chris Frantz on drums, Jerry Harrison on keyboards and guitar, and fronted by David Byrne on vocals and guitar, the Talking Heads helped to shape the landscape of alternative and new wave rock through the 80's and 90's.  They really hit mainstream consciousness with their fifth album called "Speaking in Tongues" in 1983.  They followed this up with the live album "Stop Making Sense," which showcased the elaborate stage setups and their visual presence, complete with Byrne's iconic "big suit" fashion wear.Little Creatures was their sixth studio album and the best selling album of the group's career.  The Talking Heads toned down their experimental tendencies on this one in favor of a more stripped-down, accessible approach.  While there are still elements of art music and new wave present in the tracks, they play a more whimsical role.  The songs blend in pop, folk, and country influences as well, giving the album a bright, catchy feel in addition to the wit and quirkiness for which the group was known.The album cover was created by artist Howard Finster, and incorporates themes of Americana and everyday life.  This complemented the songs well, and was selected by Rolling Sone magazine as the album cover of the year.The group would go on to produce two more studio albums before disbanding in 1991.  They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.Show co-founder Brian Dickhute is back to present this album in Bruce's absence for today's podcast.  The Lady Don't MindThere's a certain amount of weirdness that is difficult to explain in the lyrics of just about every Talking Heads song, and this is no exception.  This reggae-tinged song talks about a lady who is hard to pin down or figure out.  "Last time she jumped out the window, well, she only turned and smiled.  You might think she would say something, but you'd have to wait a while."  Perfect WorldWhile most songs were written by David Byrne, this one features lyrics composed years earlier by drummer Chris Frantz.  It is a deeper cut, and a mini-love story. Stay Up LateThis track was the fourth single released from the album.  It is a song about Byrne's sister's baby, and describes an adult keeping the baby up late despite the consequences, just to have fun and enjoy this new life.  Road to NowhereThis song was released as a single, and went to number 25 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.  Byrne describes it as "a song that presented a resigned, even joyful look at doom."  The gospel choir that leads off the track was added after the song was concluded to complete what is essentially a two-chord song. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Soul Finger by the Bar-Kays (from the motion picture Spies Like Us)Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd star in this spy comedy where novice spies are sent into the Soviet Union.STAFF PICKS:West End Girls by Pet Shop BoysLynch starts the staff picks with a song about class and pressures of city life in London, inspired by a T.S. Eliot poem.  It was released twice as a single, once in April 1984 when it became a club hit, and this version as a re-recorded single in October 1985.  It went to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.It's Not Love by DokkenWayne takes us in a more hair metal direction with a head banger tune from Dokken's third album, "Under Lock and Key."  This was the third single released from the album.  The video contains scenes where the band is playing from a flat bed truck, and was actually recorded on the road.  They received several tickets during the process, despite having permission to film.Magic Power by TriumphRob features a Canadian power trio from their live double album, “Stages.”  Originally recorded on their studio album, “Allied Forces,” the song describes the healing power of music.  It is one of the group's signature songs, and the live  format gives a good sense of the band's chemistry on stage.Tonight She Comes by The CarsBrian closes out the staff picks with a previously unreleased song from the Cars' Greatest Hits album, released in October 1985.  Ric Ocasek wrote the song, and originally intended it for his solo album, but brought it to the group instead.   It was their fourth and last single to be a top 10 hit. NOVELTY TRACK:Strokin' by Clarence CarterWe find out how Clarence Carter makes love in this concluding track from this week's podcast.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

The Allied soldiers who liberated the Nazi concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen in April 1945 were faced with scenes of horror and privation. With breathtaking thoroughness, Distance from the Belsen Heap: Allied Forces and the Liberation of a Nazi Concentration Camp (U Toronto Press, 2015) documents what they saw and how they came to terms with those images over the course of the next seventy years. On the basis of research in more than seventy archives in four countries, Mark Celinscak analyses how these military personnel struggled with the intense experience of the camp; how they attempted to describe what they had seen, heard, and felt to those back home; and how their lives were transformed by that experience. He also brings to light the previously unacknowledged presence of hundreds of Canadians among the camp's liberators, including noted painter Alex Colville. Distance from the Belsen Heap examines the experiences of hundreds of British and Canadian eyewitnesses to atrocity, including war artists, photographers, medical personnel, and chaplains. A study of the complicated encounter between these Allied soldiers and the horrors of the Holocaust, Distance from the Belsen Heap is a testament to their experience.

The Military Intelligence required to land on the beaches of Normandy France in 1944 was massive. And while Allied Forces were up to the task in gathering terrain maps, soil samples and German defensive positions, a TON of valuable information was gained through a BBC Photography contest and photos submitted by the public. In this episode, we talk about different types of intelligence gathering, how they're used in modern warfare, and this ingenious idea for gaining information that helped plan the landings on D-Day. Then we chat with Comedian and podcast regular, Jay Black!

John 1:14-18,14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'”) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known. “The Word became flesh” — the Word that was in the beginning, the Word that was with God, the Word that was God, the Word through whom all things were made — that Word became flesh. God became a man. Eternal God in skin and bones. And he dwelt among us. Which means he was here, on this earth, rubbing shoulders with people like you and me, and John says, “we have seen his glory.”John is talking about himself and his friends. He's talking about the historical eye-witnesses of Jesus — these are the people who literally saw Jesus when he was here — They saw his nose; they saw his teeth when he smiled; they heard his voice; they touched his body — John and his friends, people like us — they saw Jesus in person.But John doesn't just say here that they saw Jesus, he says they saw his glory. Now the word “glory” is one we use a lot, and remember the glory of something is its weight and wonder. It's the beauty or the radiance of a thing. And John says he saw that of Jesus. John saw the glory of Jesus. That's why he is writing this book! We're reading the account of someone who saw the glory of Jesus — and so the question is: Do you wanna see it?Does anybody here want to see the glory of Jesus?Because that's what John is gonna show us ... he wants to show us what he saw.And I'll be straight with you, if you read the words in verse 14 — “we have seen his glory” — and they mean nothing to you, that's a problem … You either care (or come to care) about his glory or the Gospel of John (and Christianity as a whole) will make no sense to you. So I think this is something we gotta talk about. The plan today is pretty simple: God willing, I just want to answer two questions:What do you most need to see?How do you see it?Father, by your Spirit, we pray: speak to us your Son, amen.1. What do you most need to see?Well, what do you think the answer is? When it comes to your life right now, what do you think you most need to see?There's no doubt that when John writes verse 14, he's thinking about a story from the Old Testament. Any of the first readers who knew the Hebrew Bible, would have made the connection right away — and we can make the connection too. Because that word there for “dwelt” is actually the word used for “tabernacle” in the Greek Old Testament. John is saying literally that the Word, God, became a man, and “tabernacled” among us. He “set up his tent” among us.This by itself reminds us of the Book of Exodus, where we read that in the Old Covenant the tabernacle was the place where God's presence dwelt with his people. But then there's more — The word “glory” in verse 14 — that John “saw his glory” — that also alludes back to the same time in the Book of Exodus, and it reminds us of Moses's prayer in Exodus 33. This is one of the most important moments in the whole Old Testament — we gotta turn back there. Everyone, if you can, go to Exodus Chapter 33. Hold your spot in John 1, go back to Exodus 33. The Exodus 33 ConversationFor context, the chapter right before 33, Exodus 32, is one of the lowest moments in Israel's history. While Moses was up on Mount Sinai receiving the law, the people were rebelling against God and worshiping a golden calf. And God told Moses about it while he was on the mountain, and God said he's done. The people are stiff-necked — they're hard-hearted — and God says: I'm just going to wipe them all out and make a great nation out of you, Moses. But Moses intercedes for the people. He goes back and forth with God, begging God not to destroy the people. And God relents. God sends judgment but he doesn't wipe ‘em all out, and he tells Moses and the people to leave Sinai and go to the Promised Land — but here's the thing: God says I'm not going with you. You're such a sinful people that if I were near you, I'd consume you. And Exodus 33:4 says this was a “disastrous word.” The people are sinful, but they're not completely stupid — they know that without God being with them they're cooked, so they mourn. And Moses goes back to talk with God. And you can read this whole dialogue in Exodus 33, verses 12–23, and we are supposed to read it like a dialogue. Moses talked with God like a man talks with his friend (verse 11). So we're supposed to hear this as a conversation:Moses says, God, I'm in a mess. You've told me to lead these people but you've not told me who's gonna help me. You just said you're not coming with me. But you've also said that you know me and I have favor with you. So, I'm stuck here. Help me. And God says: Okay, Moses, my presence will go with you.And Moses says: That's the only way I can go! You going with us is what makes all the difference.God says: I'll be there, because you have found favor with me and I do know you.Then Moses says, “Please show me your glory.” And I want everybody to see this. Look at Chapter 33, verse 18,“Please show me your glory.”Just five words in English.The Crisis We're InBut I want you to see that this simple prayer has a profound context — and the context is not comfort but chaos. Moses is not having a great day and then he wants a little glory like it's a cherry on top. This is not a Bible-verse-on-a-coffee-mug kind of moment. But Moses wants to see God's glory like his life depends on it — and not just his life, but the life of an entire nation depends on it; and it's not even just about the nation, but this is about God's reputation in the world. Moses is desperate here. He's in an absolute crisis. That's why he prays the way he does. So get this: how you understand your condition will determine what you think you most need. That makes sense, right? Your assessment of ‘how you're doing' will shape what you think you most need to see.And this is where too often it goes sideways for us, because too often we get this assessment wrong. I was at the gym the other day, and like most gyms, there's TVs mounted up on the wall — four of them in a row. There's a bunch of treadmills in front of them, I guess in case people wanna watch TV while they're walking. And on these TVs, in this moment I was looking … The first screen was a daytime talkshow with some has-been celebrityThe second screen was a news story about how they're now saying coffee is good for youThe third screen was a news story about how outdoor activities extend your biological clockThe fourth screen was a pharmaceutical commercial — which are all the same, somebody riding a bicycle and smiling …And everybody, like hamsters, walking and watching, and what's the message there? Well, what's being sold there is going to conform to what most people consider to be their biggest need — and in a word, it's improvement. That's how a lot of people understand their condition: “I need to improve.” So we look to the influencers and we listen to hours of podcasts and we keep buying the stuff — just to make ourselves a little bit better, to make things a little bit easier, to make our lives a little bit more comfortable. And look, there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to improve, but what if I told you our condition is a lot worse than the need for improvement? What if I told you that we're actually in a crisis, all of us — and it's a crisis not unlike the one Moses was in. We Need GodSee, Moses knew that without God, it's over. Over! Moses cannot do life without God … and we can't either. We can't.Now we live in a world that sells us the lie everyday, on every screen, that we can! We're told to think that everything we need can be found here — from ourselves, by ourselves, for ourselves. But that's not true. We need God. You need God. And the crisis is: Where is he?You ever felt that crisis before? You need someone whom you have never seen, someone you cannot find. The evidences of God are all around us, but he's invisible. How do you know that when you pray you're not just talking to air? Because sometimes it can feel like you're talking to air. This is one of the reasons we have a world full of fillers, substitutes, idols. “We don't know where he is.”Moses knew he needed God (he knew God is real) — but he still needed the assurance from God that God would meet his need for him. Moses is saying: I need you! How do I know I have you? That's why he prayed: Please show me your glory. Show me your weight and wonder. I need to see who you are. I need to see your glory. That is what we most need to see too. Whatever it is you've got going on — whatever pain you're walking in, whatever uncertainty you're navigating, whatever oblivion you're scrolling through — what you think you most need to see might be wrong. Because what we all most need to see is the glory of God. We need God, and we need to know what he is like. That's the answer to question 1, What do we most need to see? Question 2 …2. How do we see it?“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”Look at those words at the end of verse 14: “full of grace and truth.” Grace and truth.This again sends us back to Exodus 33, to see how God answered Moses's prayer. After Moses says, Please show me your glory, God says, Exodus 33:19, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.' …So Moses is about to see God, except God tells him: You can't see my face. It's too radiant. But go here, in the cleft of the rock, in this little ditch I have for you, and wait for me there. I'll pass by and let you see a little bit.So Moses does that. And Exodus 33:5 says, 5 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.This is God telling Moses his glory. Verse 6: 6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness” …And those words “abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness” could be translated “full of grace and truth.”Moses, that's my glory, God says. I'm kind and merciful, and I always do what I say. I'm faithful. I am the God full of grace and truth. I'm telling you who I am …That's in the old covenant. But then, in the new covenant, when the Word became flesh — God himself in skin and bones, God the Son sent from God the Father — then God was showing us his glory. John saw it. He saw the glory of Jesus, full of grace and truth. Look at Jesus ChristAll of the steadfast love of God, all of his faithfulness, all of his mercy and righteousness, his grace and truth — who God is for us — was manifest in Jesus. Verse 18 tells us that the God who cannot be seen was seen in Jesus. Jesus has made God known.Look, you need God, but where is he? You need to see his glory. You need to know what he is like, but how? How do you see the glory of God?You need God—where can he be?You need his glory for eyes to see.You long to know what he is like: simply look at Jesus Christ.All of who God is for us is made known in Jesus, and all of who Jesus is makes God known. To see Jesus is to see God. And John has seen him. He wants to show us. So we're for this. Our greatest need is met in Jesus.Is He Really?My favorite theological book on the incarnation is by a Scottish theologian named T. F. Torrance. Torrance served as a chaplain for the British army in World War II (Alister McGrath, his biographer, tells this story; Glen Scrivener does too). Torrance had a powerful experience on the battlefield that changed his life. Torrance had received great theological training, his doctrinal ducks were in a row, and for most of his time as a chaplain, he could keep studying. He brought books with him everywhere he went. But there was one incident, October 17, 1944 — Torrance wrote about … His battalion was in Italy, and the Nazi army had strong defenses in this one city in the mountains, so the Allied Forces decided to launch a night attack. Torrance, as a chaplain, had to carry a stretcher to go and find the wounded, and he was under fire most of the night, and then at dawn, just as the sun started to rise, he came across a young man, 19 years old, who had been shot during the night and was bleeding out. Torrance knew he was minutes away from death. He recounts this moment. He writes: As I knelt down and bent over him, he [looked at me and] said: “Padre, is God really like Jesus Christ?”Isn't that an amazing question? The dying solider understood the crisis. He knew what he most needed to see. Is God really like Jesus?And Torrance said, “The only God there is, is the God who has come to us in Jesus. He has shown his face to us and poured out his love for us as our Savior.”Do you believe that this morning?Christian, do you know that's true?Maybe you would say, Yeah, I know that. I've looked to Jesus. I'm saved. But now I've got other things. I've got bills … broken relationships … besetting sins — boredom. But see, this is where I want to say: looking to Jesus is not a one-time thing. We don't just look to Jesus once and then its crisis averted. But we look and keep looking, because the real crisis behind every trial we walk through for the rest of our lives is to know and remember what God is like. That's the question you're asking in your pain, your confusion, your apathy — “God, what are you really like?”Look to Jesus. Look to Jesus. Look to Jesus. This is why we want to be a church that remembers the realness of Jesus in all of life.My prayer this year is that we see Jesus afresh through the Gospel of John. I want us to refocus everything about our lives on him — I want us to see him and know him and love him more than anything else.That's what brings us to the Table. The TableOne of the things that will be clear in the Gospel of John is where we see the glory of Jesus most vividly. If Jesus makes known the grace and truth of God, is there a highest point of that revelation? Yes, it's the cross. We see the glory of Jesus clearest when he is glorified, and Jesus being glorified in the Gospel of John is when he was lifted up on the cross. The glory of God made known in Jesus Christ is seen supremely in his death and resurrection — a God who stoops and serves and suffers for those he loves. Bleeding, arms stretched wide in sacrifice for us — that is our God. And that's what we remember at this Table.The bread and cup represent the broken body and shed blood of Jesus, and so today, when we hold the bread and cup, think Glory! This is what God is like. This is what grace and truth means. And that's why this Table is just for Christians. If you're here this morning and you're not a Christian, I'm glad you're with us, and I'd love to talk with you and I would not embarrass you for anything in the world. I know what it's like to be where you are, so after the service, I'm gonna stand right here and just be available. Come talk to me.Now, if you trust in Jesus, if you've seen his glory and you believe in him, let's eat and drink together.

Troops were first withdrawn from the Suvla Bay and Anzac Cove areas in December 1915. The final phase, involving the evacuation of Cape Helles, was completed on 9 January 1916 with the departure of the Newfoundland Regiment and remnants of The Plymouth Battalion, Royal Marine Light ...

**Discussion begins at 4:15**Since 1916, Boeing has been synonymous with safety and reliability.  The company was responsible for the production of 100,000 airplanes for Allied Forces in WW2, the production of Air Force One, and revolutionizing air travel.  The slogan was, “If it's not Boeing, I'm not going”.  Following a merger with McDonnell Douglas, experts agree that the company had a culture shift, in which perhaps finances were prioritized over safety.  This all came to a head when Boeing did a rapid roll out of the 737 Max, in an attempt to keep up with their only competition, Airbus.  Following a slew of poor decisions, there were two plane crashes, with 346 deaths.  Since that time, a number of employees have come forward to report safety issues with Boeing and it's contractor, Spirit Aerosystems.  Things had been relatively quiet for Boeing, until last year when a number of safety issues brought them back into the news.  Following a 2.5 billion dollar loss, 50,000 lay offs, and a drop in stocks by 26% in the first quarter, two of the Boeing whistleblowers died under mysterious circumstances within 2 months of each other.  Were these just unfortunate tragedies?  Or was Boeing behind the mysterious deaths?Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

In December 1944 World War 2 in Europe was at a tipping point. It just so happened the way it was leaning was for the Allies. The Eastern front saw the Russians forcing the Nazis out of Poland and advancing toward the Fatherland itself. In the west the combined Anglo-American forces of the USA, Great Britain, Canada and others had broken out from Normandy, liberated Paris and a good chunk of northern France. The advance from the west was slowed by supply issues when the troops in front started to outrun their supply lines. Hitler decided in his meth'd up mind that all it would take was one big swing and hit to stagger the Allies and bring them to the table for a negotiated armistice at which point he could turn all his attention back to Stalin. That big swing was called Operation Watch on the Rhine, or the Ardennes Offensive or to most The Battle of the Bulge. Unfortunately for the allies, the area ol Adolf was gonna send his mass of soldiers and tanks through just happened to be the spot the allies thought unlikely. So much so in fact this was the place they pulled battle weary units and green replacement troops to rest and acclimate to their new units. What occurred over the next few weeks would come to be the shining moment for the United States forces in Europe during the war. Historically High is sponsored by Flintt's Mouth Watering Mints, purveyors of delicious, drymouth destroying little miracles.

With Veterans Day coming up and everyone exhausted from the election, we thought we'd offer a break from the news. Here's a sample of our latest episode of TBIY about The Jeep. Known well by veterans, it's “The Car That Saved The World”.The Jeep isn't just a car, it's a cult: inspiring clubs, meetups, even its own “Jeep Wave.” From cameos in M*A*S*H to Mean Girls, the Jeep's been ranked the most patriotic brand in America for 20-straight years (sorry, Coke). But did you know that Jeep actually started as a group project? Learn how three fiercely competitive rivals came together for some emergency teamwork to help Allied Forces win WWII, how a freelance designer almost didn't get the credit, and how its name was (maybe) inspired by a mythical character from Popeye.

[Encore release] General Stanley McChrystal was born into a military family: three generations of men in his family were officers in the armed forces. He followed the family tradition and eventually rose up the ranks to become a General in the Army. While serving as the commander of Allied Forces in Afghanistan in 2010, he was forced to resign after he was quoted making disparaging remarks about President Obama. It was in the wake of this moment that General McChrystal learned the full value of leadership. In this conversation from 2020, the General reflects on the very specific lessons of leadership he learned, and evolved, throughout his time of military service.

The P-47 Thunderbolt is considered one of the most important fighter-bombers used by Allied Forces in World War II. Thunderbolts flew over half a million missions and are renowned by pilots for their durability and reliability.  Over one-third of all Thunderbolts were built at the Republic Aviation plant in Evansville. Notably, nearly half of the plant's employees were women. Known as “Raiderettes,” they worked alongside male workers and boasted a variety of jobs including on the assembly lines, in the administrative offices, and even as test pilots. Many of the women were “two-job workers,” balancing 14-hour shifts at Republic with raising children while their partners fought overseas. Our new blog post examines the lived experiences of the Raiderettes and how they navigated being women workers in a “man's” world, pushing against and often breaking the glass ceiling in the process. This episode was written by Kelsey Green, produced by Jill Weiss Simins, and performed by Justin Clark.

OPERATION BODYGUARD AND DECEPTION IN WORLD WAR II  Your field operatives, Dan and Tom, talk with author and historian Rick Beyer about the deception techniques used in the war.  Operation Bodyguard and its sub-operation, Operation Fortitude, which helped win the war, are highlighted.   Operation Bodyguard was an overall deception operation to assist the Allied Forces in World War II.  It is one example of how deception was an important part of the Allied success.  Operation Fortitude was designed to deceive Adolph Hitler as to the location of the Allied invasion of Europe.  You know the landing came at Normandy.  Listen to find out the ruses and locations the Allied Forces used to keep Hitler believing that Normandy was not going to be the landing location.  We also talk with Rick about a deception unit called Ghost Army of which Rick co-authored the excellent book, “The Ghost Army of World War II”.  Ghost Army deployed just after D-Day, so they weren't directly involved in D-Day.  But they are the source of the inflatable tank. Listen to find out what that means  Finally, we look at some of the spies who were involved in the deceptions, highlighting double agents who Hitler thought was working for him.   Without real spies, we have no spy movies or spy fiction!    Tell us what you think   So, prior to listening to this episode, did you know about these deceptions?  Would you like more episodes like this that talk about real-world spies and their techniques?  Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and your thoughts on this episode.

It's Friday, June 7th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Christian woman faces seven years in prison A Christian woman in Pakistan remains in jail on baseless charges of blasphemy against Islam after a judge rejected her bail application on Monday, June 3rd, reports Morning Star News. Stella Khawar, age 28, was arrested on May 12 in Punjab Province, and was charged with hurting the religious sentiments of Muslims.  She is suspected of besmirching Islam on a piece of paper following the August 16th, 2023 attacks on churches and homes of Christians in Jaranwala. If found guilty, she faces seven years of imprisonment. In John 15:18, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first.” Russia launching military exercise in Caribbean Russia is preparing to deploy aircraft and combat naval vessels to the Caribbean Sea to conduct military exercises in the coming weeks, reports The Miami Herald. This is Russia's first set of military exercises in the Western Hemisphere involving both air and sea activity in five years. Oddly enough, the Biden administration is not expressing concern over the deployment, with the official stating it poses “no direct threat to the United States.” But the administration believes Moscow intends to use the exercises as a “messaging tactic” after President Joe Biden gave Ukraine permission last week to fire U.S.-made weapons across its border into Russia to defend its territory. COVID shots may have helped cause over 3 million excess deaths The popular U.K. media outlet the Telegraph published a Tuesday report admitting that a recent peer-reviewed study shows COVID shots “may have helped fuel a rise in excess deaths” numbering over three million in 47 countries, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In 2020, the researchers found 1,033,122 excess deaths – 11.5% more than expected – recorded in the countries when the COVID-19 outbreak began and measures such as lockdowns and social distancing were enacted. In 2021, when the COVID shots were widely made available for public use and “containment” measures continued, 1,256,942 excess deaths – just under 14% more than expected – were recorded. And in 2022, when the COVID shot rollout continued and most containment measures were eventually lifted, 808,392 excess deaths were recorded. The researchers noted that “side effects linked to the Covid vaccine had included ischemic stroke, acute coronary syndrome and brain hemorrhage, cardiovascular diseases, coagulation, hemorrhages, gastrointestinal events, and blood clotting.” Court orders Steve Bannon to prison July 1st On Thursday, a federal judge ordered former Trump adviser Steve Bannon to report to prison on July 1 to begin a four-month prison sentence for defying subpoenas from the January 6th Committee after a higher court rejected his appeal, reports NBC News. Bannon was found guilty on two counts of contempt of Congress in July 2022 for defying the committee's subpoenas, but his sentence had been put on hold while he appealed the case. Following his court appearance, Bannon addressed the press. BANNON: “All of this is about one thing. This about shutting down the [Make America Great] movement, shutting down grassroots conservatives, shutting down President Trump. “We are going to prevail. In every number and every poll shows that there's nothing that can shut me up and nothing that will shut me up. There's not a prison built or jail built that will ever shut me up. All victory to MAGA. We're going to win this. “We're going to win at the Supreme Court, and more importantly, we're going to win on November 5 in an amazing landslide, with the Senate, the House and also Donald J. Trump back as president of the United States.” 80th anniversary of D-Day: Largest seaborne invasion in history On June 6, 1944, 80 years ago yesterday, the Allied Forces launched the D-Day operation at Normandy, France to liberate the French, and the rest of Western Europe, from Nazi oppression during World War II. Given the codename “Overlord,” the Allied Forces, led by Major General Dwight D. Eisenhower, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy, France in the largest seaborne invasion in history which included 7,000 ships and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from eight allied countries. By June 30, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores in France. The invasion began shortly after midnight on the morning of June 6th with extensive aerial and naval bombardment as well as an airborne assault—the landing of 24,000 American, British, and Canadian airborne troops. The early morning aerial assault was soon followed by Allied amphibious landings on the coast of France. The target 50-mile stretch of the Normandy coast was divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Strong winds blew the landing craft east of their intended positions, particularly at Utah and Omaha. The men landed under heavy fire from gun emplacements overlooking the beaches, and the shore was mined and covered with obstacles such as wooden stakes, metal tripods, and barbed wire, making the work of the beach-clearing teams difficult and dangerous. Casualties were heaviest at Omaha, with its high cliffs. President Roosevelt's D-Day prayer President Franklin Delano Roosevelt  prayed a prayer on D-Day that was heard by Americans on their radios. Listen to a portion of FDR's prayer. “Almighty God, our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor: a struggle to preserve our republic, our religion, and our civilization and to set free a suffering humanity. Lead them straight and true, give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith. They will need Thy blessings. “Their road will be long and hard for the enemy is strong. He may have back off forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again. And we know that, by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.  They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest, until the victory is won. With Thy blessing, we shall prevail. “Over the unholy forces of our enemy, help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister nations, into a world unity that will spell a sure peace, a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy man, and a peace that will let all men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil. Thy will be done, Almighty God. Amen.” Casualties from the Allied countries during the D-Day landing numbered 10,300. In light of those soldiers who gave their lives, consider the words of Jesus found in John 15:13.  “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.” Akron, Ohio homeschool family reflected on The Worldview Last night, I spoke with a homeschool family in Akron, Ohio.    Michelle and Chad have four daughters. MICHELLE: “We really appreciate the Biblical view of the news. We actually do not listen to any regular news broadcasts because of their liberal bias agenda. “We have used The Worldview newscast to listen to as a family to help our girls to understand a Biblical worldview. God has His church all over the world, to be praying for other believers and to always be looking to the Lord for His direction in our personal lives, in the lives of the church around the world, and for eternity.” Her husband Chad chimed in. CHAD: “It's trustworthy and fair. It's not mean toward those who have opposing viewpoints, but it's very fair but it's truthful.” Their 18-year-old daughter Nia cited the types of stories that have stood out to her. NIA: “I've really enjoyed hearing about the different Christians around the world who have been persecuted for the faith. And the way that you have told the stories is telling the truth about it, but it's never hopeless. It's never about how bad it is, but how good God is.” I chatted briefly with Noel, their 11-year-old, who's the one who suggested that the family make a donation to The Worldview. McMANUS: “Hi Noel, how are you?” NOEL: “I'm good.” McMANUS: “How old are you?” NOEL: “I'm eleven.” When I asked what Noel liked about The Worldview newscast, she said this. NOEL: “I like listening to it. It's very interesting to me.” Together with Karis, age 19, and Kiersten, age 16, the four daughters donated $100. When I asked Michelle, the mother, if they ever took action on one of our stories, she said this. MICHELLE: “We've banked with Chase for many years. Just over this last year, we've transitioned to closing our accounts with them and closing down credit lines that we have with them as well because of their more liberal agenda. We heard that through listening to The Worldview.” 5 Worldview listeners gave $1,375 And finally, toward our goal of raising $28,550 by 12 midnight tonight on this Friday, June 7th, to help keep the newscast on the air, only 5 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Gwyndol in Albany, Oregon $25, Richard in Morris, Pennsylvania who gave $50, as well as Rosana in San Antonio, Texas and Jeremy in Swansea, Toronto, Canada – both of whom gave $100. Plus, we're grateful to God for the generosity of Chad, Michelle, Karis, Nia, Kiersten and Noel in Akron, Ohio who gave $1,100 as a family. Those 5 Worldview donors gave $1,375. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (sound effect of drum roll) $7,315 (audience cheering) The vast majority of this radio audience has not yet made a donation since our month-long fundraiser kicked off on Monday, June 3rd. Needless to say, we are seriously behind where we had hoped to be. We still need to raise $21,235 by 12 midnight tonight!  Would you prayerfully consider becoming one of 18 people to pledge $100 per month for 12 months for a total gift of $1,200 to help us hit our first week's goal?

It was 80 years ago, Allied Forces stormed the beaches of Normandy - thus saving democracy for future generations. Their brave heroism was remembered today, as President Biden and other dignitaries took part in ceremonies honoring what's known as the longest day in history. And graduating high school should have been a happy milestone. However, when one graduate went to accept her diploma, her father stormed the stage telling her not to shake the hand of the school's superintendent. Was it racism or something else? Whatever the reason, his daughter was left in complete shock. Plus, the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer was back in court today charged with the murders of two more women, bringing the total number of victims to six, and authorities say the evidence is damning. Heuermann has pled not guilty to all charges. And there's been lots of talk about shrinkflation hitting fast food chains...and that includes claims about Chipotle. Some customers have started filming servers preparing their bowls saying they want to ensure they get the right amount of food. Chipotle's CEO denies claims that the company's portions have gotten smaller.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tune in here for this Thursday edition of the Vince Coakley Radio Program!

June 6, 1944 the Allied Forces stormed the beaches of Normandy and took the Nazis by surprise in the largest sea-to-land invasion in history. This would be remembered as D-Day and would ultimately lead to the end of World War II in Europe. However, this planned attack wouldn't have been possible without deep knowledge of ocean tides! We get into the whole story, including why tides sit at the intersection of astronomy and marine ecology — and why understanding tides are key to a greener future.Want to hear us cover more science history?

In this week's episode, Marcus and Melanie are honored to host April Cheek-Messier, a key figure in preserving the legacy and lessons of one of the most pivotal moments in history: D-Day. April is the President of the National D-Day Memorial Foundation, an organization dedicated to upholding the memory of the Allied Forces' valor, fidelity, and sacrifice on June 6, 1944. As the President of the Foundation, she plays a critical role in ensuring the integrity and security of the National D-Day Memorial while advancing its educational mission. During our conversation, April sheds light on the Foundation's multifaceted approach to fulfilling its mission. We delve into how the Foundation maintains and operates the National D-Day Memorial, providing a solemn and educational space for visitors to honor and learn about the events of D-Day. Through various programs, projects, and exhibitions, the Foundation strives to cultivate an appreciation for the historical and residual significance of D-Day. Join Marcus and Melanie us as we gain insights into the tireless work of April Cheek-Messier and the National D-Day Memorial Foundation in preserving the legacy of D-Day and ensuring that future generations understand the profound impact of this historic event. In this episode you will hear: • I grew up in Bedford, Virginia, which was a community impacted heavily by World War II. (3:50) • Bedford sustained the highest per capita loss on D-Day.  (4:28) • 16 million served in World War II, and we have less than 1% living today. (7:32) • Like so many veterans, they didn't talk about it. They tried to forget about it. (10:47) • It became [Bob Slaughter's] goal to make sure there was something to commemorate those who gave their life on D-Day. (11:48) • In 1996, congress decided there should be a National D-Day Memorial. (12:45) • We are not federally funded. It was a grass roots efforts by veterans. (13:03) • What joy it brought Bob Slaughter and his veteran friends to know that they did it. (13:46) • Over 400,000 families during World War II lost a loved one. (17:16) • There were 3 sets of brothers who served on D-Day. (18:41) • It's when you're able to tell the individual stories that young people can understand the tragedy of war and what was accomplished that day was so very critical. (24:29) • Believe it or not, there was nowhere – not even in Normandy - a list of who died on June 6, 1944. (25:21) • The more we can work together to make sure these stories are told is incredibly important. (32:23) • D-Day was critical. It was going to be the turning point of the war in Western Europe. It was Operation Overlord, which was to invade German-occupied France. (33:25) • The consequences were dire. This had to happen. They had to succeed. (35:56) • 5,000 ships, 11,000 aircraft, just on D-Day alone. 160,000 troops and over 150,000 landing on June 6th alone. (36:50)

The last year of the First World War was one of startling about turns in fortune. In the spring, making highly effective use of a different approach to artillery in combination with new tactics for infantry, the Germans broke through the British lines in France. It looked for a moment as though victory might be in their grasp. But clever tactics weren't enough once they were through the lines, since to turn the British around and drive them back to the sea needed something more: massive numbers of men. And they didn't have them. Not that the Germans learned the lesson. They kept trying, in offensive after offensive, against both the British and the French, at one point getting right back to the Marne and threatening Paris once again. But they were blocked each time. What was worst for them is that as they started to run out of men – and they lost 1.1 million in all those offensives – the Allies were getting huge reinforcements. The American Expeditionary Force was seriously increasing its numbers in France and, indeed, beginning to win some battles. Slowly the tables turned. By the autumn, far from seeming to be on the brink of victory, the Germans began to look defeated. And the other Central Powers were cracking too. Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria-Hungary signed armistices with the Allies from late October into early November. Finally, the Germans too asked for it all to end. And on 11 November at 11:00 – eleven o'clock on the eleventh day of the eleventh month – they signed their own armistice. The guns, at last, fell silent.

The media's anti-Israel bias is fueling dangerous protests and exacerbating serious threats to America. And it's getting worse, with news organizations frequently parroting terrorists' talking points. Case in point: “death tolls” from Gaza. In this episode, Josh explains why those numbers can't be trusted. Also, the relatively scant attention given to wars with incomparably bigger death tolls, including one that killed an estimated 600,000 people in just two years this decade. (And wait until you hear the estimated tolls from the U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.) Plus, an important note about the heroism of Americans who fought for the Allied Forces in World War II.

Christians that were in Russia anytime during the 1950s to about 1990 were familiar with the voice of Nick Leonovich. For decades before the Iron Curtain came down, Nick had been faithfully broadcasting the gospel in Russian to his people. When the doors began to open, and Nick would travel through Russia and meet those Russian believers finally, a lot of them would stop him and they'd say, "Hey, I know your voice! You led me to Christ." Wow! Well, I've got to tell you, Nick wasn't always working for the Lord. That took a miracle. Nick was living as a teenager in Passaic, New Jersey, and his older brother, Alex, was pioneering Christian broadcasts in Russian for a company and ministry in Ecuador. And when he would ask Nick about his relationship with Christ, Nick kind of waved him off and said, "Hey, that's my business." It was an August day in 1945 when older brother Alex was driving to the radio station in Ecuador, and he heard the breaking news. He threw out his planned message and he spoke spontaneously from what he had just heard on the news. Nick happened to be listening on shortwave radio in New Jersey. He would never be the same. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I was to have A Word With You today about "Unconditional Surrender." The news that day? The unconditional surrender of Japan to the Allied Forces. Japan had expressed earlier interest in a surrender with specific conditions. But that day in 1945, they surrendered without condition. Alex Leonovich spoke on the subject Unconditional Surrender to Jesus Christ. Nick heard it in New Jersey, and he fell to his knees. He said, "Lord, I've been a Christian but on my terms. Now I want to surrender to You with no terms. I unconditionally surrender." Well, I'll tell you, the lid came off his life from that day on. And just as God directed a man to speak about unconditional surrender over a radio almost 70 years ago, I really believe God has wanted me to do that today, maybe for you. Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Romans 12:1-2. "I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is; His good, pleasing and perfect will." You notice here, that the appeal is made on the basis of God's mercy; after all He's done for you through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus. So, we're being asked to respond to what He did for us. Then it says, "Offer yourself as a living sacrifice." A sacrifice. Well, that means that you have no further plans of your own. But you're still going to go on living, except from now on you will live surrendered to Jesus and His plan for your life. No longer marching to the drum beat of your generation, or the culture, or your surroundings, your environment, your occupation. No, you won't be conformed to the world, because you're hearing another drummer. The result: You will be experiencing God's good, and pleasing, and perfect plan for you. The reason you're here. See, conditional surrender, which is what most of us would like to do, hands Jesus a contract for Him to sign with your conditions. Unconditional surrender gives Jesus a blank piece of paper which you've already signed, and then He fills it in. Have you ever done that? That's how you get His best. That's when He's truly your Lord. The world was changed by an unconditional surrender. And the world will always remember that day. One man's life was changed by an unconditional surrender, and he would always remember that day. Maybe that day is today for you; the day you win the battle because you unconditionally surrender to the Savior who unconditionally surrendered His life to rescue you.

 “Marshal Foch, you have no authority as Allied Commander-in-Chief to call upon me to yield up my command of the American Army and have it scattered among the Allied Forces where it will not be an American army at all.” This is the story of the first battle of the First American Army. Fresh off of an Allied victory at Amiens, Supreme Commander Ferdinand Foch has new ideas for a combined Allied strategy along the Meuse and in the Argonne forest. But his plan comes at a cost to the Americans, ready to launch their first offensive as a fully organized army against the Germans at the St. Mihiel Salient.  General Black Jack Pershing won't be deterred. But can he beat the Germans at this salient, then move an entire army with all of its supplies 60 miles to participate in this new offensive in time? We'll find out. ___ 4 Ways to dive deeper into History That Doesn't Suck Join our growing facebook community Get our weekly newsletter, The Revolution Become part of the HTDS Patreon family Subscribe to Greg's monthly newsletter, Connected History Learn more about your ad choices.
