Putin präsentiert neue Atomwaffen, China baut sein nukleares Arsenal im Rekordtempo aus - und die USA erwägen nach Jahrzehnten die Rückkehr zu Atomtests. Das Wettrüsten scheint wieder Fahrt aufzunehmen. Historisch führten die USA seit 1992 kein Testprogramm mehr durch - zuletzt testete nur Nordkorea. Darüber sprechen die Hosts Stefan Niemann und Anna Engelke in der Sendung heute. Außerdem geht es um das überraschende Treffen zwischen US-Präsident Donald Trump und Chinas Staats- und Parteichef Xi Jinping. Es ist das erste seit sechs Jahren. Welche Rolle spielt Europa im Machtpoker zwischen China und den USA? Darüber spricht Anna Engelke mit China-Expertin Dr. Maybrit Stumbaum. Sie ist Reservistin bei der Luftwaffe und ordnet das Treffen zwischen Donald Trump und Xi Jinping ein: Beim Ukraine-Krieg spiele Peking weiter pro-russisch, um die USA von Asien fernzuhalten. China habe kein Interesse an einem schnellen Kriegsende, zumindest nicht zu Ungunsten Russlands, erklärt Stumbaum. Weiter warnt die Politik-Professorin: Europa droht im Machtspiel der Großmächte zur "Speisekarte" statt zum Mitspieler zu werden und müsse geschlossen auftreten, besonders im Umgang mit China. Eine Wiederaufnahme von Atomtests sei zwar überraschend, passe aber zur sicherheitspolitischen Zeitenwende. China rüste sein Atomarsenal rasch auf und könne von einer "neuen Normalität" bei Nuklearwaffentests profitieren. Stefan beleuchtet außerdem die militärische Lage in der Ukraine, wo die inzwischen teilweise von russischen Soldaten eroberte Stadt Pokrowsk zu fallen droht. Gleichzeitig gehen Russlands Angriffe auf zivile Ziele in vielen Landesteilen weiter. Wolodymyr Selenskyj ist es gelungen, die Lieferung von bis zu 150 schwedischen Gripen-Kampfjets zu vereinbaren - so soll der Luftraum künftig besser geschützt werden. Auch Russland hat massive Probleme mit der Flugabwehr - die vielen erfolgreichen Angriffe der Ukraine auf Ölanlagen oder Treibstofflager zeugen davon.

Die herbeigeredete BedrohungslageEin Standpunkt von Uwe Froschauer.Vor circa einem Jahr schrieb ich bereits einen Artikel über Wehrdienst beziehungsweise Wehrpflicht. Der Grund, warum über eine erneute Wehrpflicht nachgedacht wird, ist die angeblich veränderte Sicherheitslage in Europa, verschuldet vom Bösewicht Russland, geführt vom Berserker Wladimir Putin. Zumindest werden dieses Land und sein Chef von den politisch-medialen Prostituierten der Macht- und Besitzeliten so dargestellt.Der deutsche Politikwissenschaftler, Publizist und Journalist Patrick Baab führte im April 2025 ein Interview mit Harald Kujat, einem deutschen General a. D. der Luftwaffe. Harald Kujat war von 2000 bis 2002 als 13. Generalinspekteur der Bundeswehr der ranghöchste Offizier der Bundeswehr und von 2002 bis 2005 Vorsitzender des NATO-Militärausschusses und damit auch des NATO-Russland-Rats. Dieses knapp 90-minütige Interview gibt Aufschluss über den unsäglichen Unsinn, den deutsche und europäische Kriegstreiber der europäischen Bevölkerung bezüglich einer angeblichen Bedrohungslage durch Russland verklickern. Hier ein transkribierter Ausschnitt aus dem absolut sehenswerten Interview:„Die Vereinigten Staaten geben jedes Jahr eine Bedrohungsanalyse – also alle sieben amerikanischen Nachrichtendienste – geben jedes Jahr eine Bedrohungsanalyse heraus, und im letzten Jahr war die Bedrohungsanalyse vom Februar – also noch unter der Biden-Regierung –, und da wurde eindeutig gesagt, dass Russland keinen Angriff auf die NATO beabsichtigt. Und wenn wir von Drohung oder Bedrohung sprechen, dann sind das ja zwei Aspekte, die in diesem Begriff enthalten sind: Der eine ist die Fähigkeit zu einem Angriff – zu einem erfolgreichen Angriff – und das zweite ist die Absicht dazu. Und die amerikanische Bedrohungsanalyse vom vergangenen Jahr sagt eindeutig, dass Russland weder in der Lage ist in den nächsten Jahren einen Angriff gegen die NATO vorzunehmen noch die Absicht dazu hat. Und am 18. März in diesem Jahr wurde die Bedrohungsanalyse unter der Regierung Trump herausgegeben, und die kommt mit anderen Worten im Grunde zu dem gleichen Ergebnis. Deshalb muss man sich wirklich fragen, was treibt unsere Politiker und diese sogenannten Militärexperten eigentlich an, wenn sie so etwas behaupten.“Ja, was treibt diese Kriegstreiber an? Auf jeden Fall mal dunkle, Menschenleben-gefährdende Gedanken. Hätten unsere bellizistischen Politmarionetten wie Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz, Emmanuel Macron, Donald Tusk und Ursula von der Leyen an der Spitze der von ihnen wirtschaftlich und gesellschaftlich zerstörten Nationen sowie unsere „Militärexperten“ wie Roderich Kiesewetter, Marie-Agnes-Strack-Zimmermann oder Anton Hofreiter auch nur einen Bruchteil des Formats und der Intelligenz dieser beiden Gesprächspartner in diesem Interview, wäre der Krieg in der Ukraine meines Erachtens schon längst beendet. Das dümmliche, fadenscheinige und ignorante Geschwätz dieser Kriegstreiber ist nur noch mit einem ordentlichen Schuss Humor auszuhalten. Dennoch kommt das Kriegsgeschwätz dieser Pseudo-Ideologen bei einem nicht unerheblichen Teil der Bevölkerung als Wahrheit rüber. Die geplante, strukturierte Verblödung eines Teils der Bevölkerung scheint zu wirken.Der stellvertretende Vorsitzende des Verteidigungsausschusses, Roderich Kiesewetter, meinte unlängst im TV-Format Hart Aber Fair:...https://apolut.net/wehrdienst-lotto-von-uwe-froschauer/ Hosted on Acast.

This Day in Legal History: Nuremberg ExecutionsOn October 16, 1946, ten prominent Nazi war criminals were executed by hanging in the aftermath of the landmark Nuremberg Trials, held to prosecute key figures of the Third Reich for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes against peace. The executions marked the culmination of months of legal proceedings conducted by an international military tribunal composed of judges from the Allied powers: the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and France. Among those hanged was Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hitler's former Foreign Minister, convicted for his role in orchestrating Nazi foreign policy and enabling the Holocaust.The trials had concluded in late September 1946, with 12 of the 22 main defendants receiving death sentences. However, Hermann Göring, one of the most high-profile defendants and head of the Luftwaffe, committed suicide by cyanide just hours before his scheduled execution. The hangings took place inside the gymnasium of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, where the tribunal had convened, and were carried out in the early morning hours.The executions were overseen by U.S. Army personnel, and steps were taken to document them for historical record. The event was viewed by many as a pivotal moment in the establishment of international criminal law, affirming that individuals—even heads of state and high-ranking officials—could be held personally accountable for war atrocities. These proceedings laid the groundwork for future tribunals, including those for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.Some criticized the process as “victor's justice,” pointing to perceived inconsistencies in sentencing and legal procedures. Nevertheless, the trials represented a significant shift from the post-World War I approach, which had failed to adequately prosecute war crimes. The executions on October 16 symbolized not only the end of an era of unchecked totalitarian violence but also the beginning of a new international legal order based on accountability and the rule of law.A federal judge in California has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's latest wave of federal layoffs, calling the move likely “illegal and in excess of authority.” In a sharply worded order, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston halted terminations that began last week, siding with a coalition of federal worker unions. Illston criticized the administration's approach as “ready, fire, aim” and warned that the human cost of such abrupt cuts is unacceptable.The layoffs—over 4,100 in total—targeted several federal agencies, with the Departments of Health and Human Services and Treasury seeing the bulk of cuts. Judge Illston's order requires the administration to report all completed and planned layoffs by Friday and set a hearing for a preliminary injunction on October 28. She also rejected the Department of Justice's attempt to steer the case toward procedural issues, stating that the legal merits were too concerning to ignore.President Trump has framed the cuts as politically motivated, stating they were aimed at eliminating programs he called “egregious socialist, semi-communist.” He added that Republican-backed programs would be spared. The administration recently lifted a long-standing hiring freeze but is now requiring agencies to submit staffing plans for approval.Union plaintiffs argue that the layoffs violate the Antideficiency Act and the Administrative Procedure Act, citing the administration's use of the government shutdown as an arbitrary justification. This case, AFGE v. OMB, marks another legal confrontation over workforce reductions, following an earlier freeze issued by Judge Illston that was ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court.Trump's Shutdown-Linked Layoffs Paused by California Judge (4)The 2026 U.S. law school admissions cycle is off to an intense start, with applications up 33% compared to this time last year, according to new data from the Law School Admission Council. This surge follows last year's admissions boom and signals another highly competitive year for aspiring law students. Admissions consultant Mike Spivey noted he's never seen such a sharp early increase in over two decades of reviewing application data, predicting a likely total rise of around 20% once the cycle concludes.Several factors are driving the spike, including a tough job market for recent college graduates—whose unemployment rate now surpasses that of the broader labor force—and growing political instability. Law School Admission Council President Sudha Setty also cited concerns about the impact of AI and broader economic uncertainty as motivators for many applicants. Additionally, more people are taking the LSAT this year, up nearly 22% over 2025 levels.A recent Kaplan survey found 56% of law school admissions officers pointed to politics as a major factor behind last year's surge, with 90% expecting this cycle to be just as competitive, if not more so. Some applicants are likely reapplying after being rejected last year, or returning after delaying applications due to last year's high volume. While law schools will benefit from a deeper pool of candidates, Spivey warned the sharp increase means tougher odds for acceptance across the board.US law school applicants increase 33%, boosting competition | ReutersPresident Donald Trump's decision to fund military pay during the ongoing government shutdown is only a short-term solution, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson. On Wednesday, Johnson confirmed that 1.3 million active-duty service members, along with tens of thousands of National Guard and reservists, were paid using $6.5 billion in unused military research and development funds. However, he warned that unless Democrats act to reopen the government, troops are unlikely to receive their next paycheck on October 31.The White House has not explained its legal rationale for this funding maneuver, and it hasn't requested the required congressional approvals to shift funds between accounts. Federal law caps such transfers at $8 billion annually and only allows them if the funds are used for their legally designated purposes. Without further funding authority, it's unclear how the administration could cover future military pay. While many lawmakers support a standalone bill to guarantee troop pay, Republican leaders—including Johnson and Senate Majority Whip John Thune—are resisting that option. They argue that doing so would reduce pressure to end the shutdown overall.Some Republicans, like Sen. Lisa Murkowski, say the move has reduced urgency in Congress while leaving other federal workers unpaid. The political optics are further complicated by Trump's claim that only Democrat-backed programs are being cut, as he seeks to frame the issue as partisan. Internally, GOP leaders worry that passing targeted funding bills could open the door to broader demands for agency-by-agency funding relief, weakening their leverage in shutdown negotiations.By way of brief background, the move likely violates the Antideficiency Act (ADA), which bars federal officials from spending money before or beyond congressional appropriations. Trump reportedly ordered the Department of Defense to divert funds from the RDT&E account—meant for weapons research—to cover military payroll. That account is not legally authorized for such use, and the funds may have also exceeded their availability period.This raises two major legal issues. First, under the Appropriations Clause (Article I, § 9, cl. 7), only Congress may authorize government spending. The president cannot repurpose funds without specific legislative approval. Second, the ADA prohibits both misappropriation of purpose (spending money on unauthorized functions) and misappropriation of timing (using expired funds). If proven willful, such violations can carry criminal penalties, though prosecutions are rare.Beyond the legal breach, this act could set a dangerous precedent. If courts decline to intervene, it could signal that future presidents—regardless of party—can redirect federal funds without congressional consent. This would erode legislative power and potentially turn the presidency into a de facto appropriations authority, undermining the Constitution's separation of powers.Special thanks to Bobby Kogan, the Senior Director of Federal Budget Policy for the Center for American Progress, for his instructive Bluesky post explaining the deficiency issue in a way much clearer and more succinctly than I otherwise would have been able to.Trump's troop pay move is a ‘temporary fix,' Johnson says - Live Updates - POLITICOPost by @did:plc:drfb2pdjlnsqkfgsoellcahm — BlueskyA piece I wrote for Forbes this week looks at how Norway is showing the rest of the world how to end EV subsidies without wrecking the market. The country announced in its latest budget that it will phase out its long-standing value-added tax (VAT) exemption for electric vehicles—partially in 2026, and fully by 2027. This might seem like a policy retreat, but the timing is deliberate: EVs now make up 95–98% of new car sales in Norway. The market has matured, and the subsidy is no longer essential.I argue that this is what smart policy looks like—temporary support that steps aside when it's no longer needed. The U.S., by contrast, killed its federal EV tax credit abruptly and politically, without phasing it out or adapting it for current market conditions. In doing so, it treated the credit as a political symbol rather than a market tool. Norway, on the other hand, used the exemption strategically, aligning it with broader policy goals and allowing it to sunset once those goals were met.The piece highlights how the U.S. often fears both removing and maintaining subsidies, caught in a cycle where incentives become political footballs. Norway's approach offers a model for how to responsibly end subsidies: gradually, rationally, and only once the market no longer needs them. This isn't anti-EV or anti-climate policy—it's a sign that the original policy worked.Norway Shows How To End EV Subsidies Without Killing The Market This is a public episode.

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, certains pilotes — notamment soviétiques — ont pratiqué une manœuvre extrême et terrifiante : l'abordage volontaire en vol, ou taran en russe. Cette technique consistait à percuter l'avion ennemi avec son propre appareil, souvent lorsque toutes les autres options étaient épuisées : plus de munitions, moteur en feu, ou situation désespérée. Contrairement au mythe, il ne s'agissait pas toujours d'une attaque suicide.Le taran naît dans les premières années du conflit, à un moment où l'URSS est prise de court par l'attaque allemande de 1941. L'armée de l'air soviétique, alors inférieure technologiquement à la Luftwaffe, manque d'appareils modernes et de pilotes expérimentés. Dans ce contexte, certains aviateurs n'ont qu'un seul moyen de neutraliser un adversaire mieux armé : le frapper de plein fouet.Mais l'abordage volontaire n'était pas un acte aveugle. Il demandait une maîtrise exceptionnelle et un courage presque insensé. Le pilote soviétique visait généralement la queue ou l'aile de l'avion ennemi, cherchant à le détruire sans provoquer l'explosion immédiate de son propre appareil. Certains utilisaient même l'hélice pour sectionner le gouvernail de l'adversaire, espérant conserver assez de contrôle pour s'éjecter ou effectuer un atterrissage forcé.Le premier taran documenté eut lieu le 26 juin 1941, quelques jours après le début de l'invasion allemande. Le lieutenant Viktor Talalikhin devint un héros national après avoir abattu un bombardier Heinkel 111 en percutant son aile, puis réussi à sauter en parachute. Cet exploit, largement relayé par la propagande soviétique, transforma le taran en symbole du courage patriotique absolu. Des centaines de pilotes l'imitèrent ensuite, parfois jusqu'à y laisser la vie.Il faut aussi comprendre la dimension psychologique et idéologique de cette tactique. Dans une guerre où chaque acte héroïque servait à galvaniser le peuple, ces abordages prouvaient que la détermination pouvait l'emporter sur la technologie. Les journaux soviétiques en firent des récits épiques : le corps comme arme ultime, la volonté comme moteur.Au total, on recense plus de 500 abordages volontaires durant la guerre, dont près de la moitié furent survivants. Certains pilotes réussirent même plusieurs tarans.L'abordage volontaire en vol incarne ainsi l'extrême du combat aérien : un mélange d'ingéniosité, de sacrifice et de désespoir. C'était une arme de la dernière chance — mais aussi une démonstration éclatante de la foi absolue de ces pilotes en leur mission. Hébergé par Acast.

Is Tom Hanks too old to storm Omaha Beach?Host Paul Bavill welcomes Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon, hosts of the War Movie Theatre podcast, to kick off a series of previews for the Imperial War Museum's (IWM) Podcast Live Festival. This week, they are raising the curtain on movies in a historical setting with a fierce debate on the one historical inaccuracy that Hollywood keeps getting away with.Rob and Duncan unleash their rage on the persistent and problematic trend in war cinema: the casting of much older actors as young combat soldiers in World War II movies.The Saving Private Ryan Problem: Discover exactly why Tom Hanks (mid-to-late 40s) as a Ranger Captain, and Matt Damon (27) as Private Ryan, were both fundamentally too old for their D-Day roles—in some cases by 20 years.The hosts argue that casting older actors fundamentally changes how we perceive the Second World War, overshadowing the reality that the fighting was overwhelmingly done by fresh-faced 19-year-olds.But is historical accuracy the real goal? The discussion turns to the industry's love for "whizzy ideas" and the notorious trope of a writer or director "struggling to get the green light"—and whether this pursuit of a marketable story is the real reason historical truth gets sacrificed for Hollywood blockbusters.Find out which TV series, like Band of Brothers, got the ages right, and whether Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk managed to break the mold.Plus, a fascinating discussion on how the youthful, risk-taking mindset applies not just to infantry and Luftwaffe pilots, but even to Formula 1 drivers.Don't miss this heated discussion!Listen to War Movie Theatre: Find Rob and Duncan's podcast everywhere you get your podcasts and follow on all social media channels @warmovietheatreSee them Live: This episode previews the IWM Podcast Live Festival on the 1st of November.

Robert Meier präsentiert ausgewählte Beiträge aus Kontrafunk Aktuell im Wochenrückblick. In dieser Woche sprachen wir mit dem Restaurantbetreiber Andreas Aufdenblatten über seine Verurteilung wegen Verstoßes gegen die Corona-Auflagen, mit der Journalistin Leila Mirzo über die Scheinwahlen in Syrien und mit dem Allgemeinmediziner und früheren Geschäftsführer der kassenärztlichen Bundesvereinigung, Dr. Lothar Krimmel, über steigende Versicherungskosten.

D., Richard Drexl, der frühere SPÖ-Nationalratskandidat David Bilbija und die ÖVP-Abgeordnete im Wiener Landtag, Caroline Hungerländer.

In this concluding episode of the Battle of Britain series, we examine the final outcomes and lasting impact of Germany's 1940 air campaign against Britain. While the Luftwaffe lost approximately 1,900 aircraft compared to the RAF's 1,600, the true failure lay in Germany's inability to achieve their strategic goal of neutralizing Fighter Command before the planned invasion. Despite inflated kill claims on both sides, Air Marshal Dowding's assessment reveals that German airfield attacks never came close to crippling RAF operations, with only two airfields rendered unfit for more than a few hours. The episode explores why the Luftwaffe's objectives were fundamentally beyond their capabilities, given the limited time window and insufficient understanding of what strategic bombing required. With Sea Lion postponed in September 1940, the focus shifts to how this victory - while preventing invasion - was far from ending the war, as Churchill's sobering October speech reminds us that "long, dark months of trials and tribulations" still lay ahead in the Mediterranean and beyond.

In this gripping episode, we explore the devastating German night bombing campaign known as the Blitz, which terrorized Britain from September 1940 to May 1941. While London bore the brunt of 57 consecutive nights of bombing that killed 40,000 people and destroyed over a million homes, many other British cities suffered similar devastation as the Luftwaffe attempted to break British morale and cripple the nation's war effort. Despite the widespread destruction, the RAF's Fighter Command was ill-prepared for night interceptions, lacking both aerial radar technology and adequate anti-aircraft defenses, leaving British civilians to endure the onslaught largely unprotected. From the famous use of London Tube stations as makeshift shelters to the remarkable grassroots organization of shelter committees, ordinary British citizens demonstrated extraordinary resilience in the face of nightly terror. Though the Luftwaffe dropped thousands of tons of bombs and caused immense suffering, their strategic goals remained unfulfilled – instead of breaking British spirit, the Blitz ultimately strengthened national resolve and became a defining symbol of wartime endurance that would echo through history.

The solution might come from an unexpected source—a smoke-filled room beneath London during the Battle of Britain.In this fascinating episode, I draw surprising parallels between the RAF's revolutionary Dowding System—which helped a vastly outnumbered air force defeat the Luftwaffe in 1940—and the challenges modern businesses face with data management. The problem isn't a lack of information; it's making sense of the overwhelming flood of contradictory inputs coming from analytics, search console, CRMs, social platforms, and more.The Dowding System's genius lay in its three-step approach: collect data from multiple sources (like radar stations and ground observers), collate that information into a single source of truth (filtering out noise and duplicates), and visualize it effectively (on a giant map table where commanders could instantly grasp the battlefield situation). I show how this exact framework can transform your business intelligence strategy, helping you make faster, smarter decisions than your competition.I share practical advice for building your own "operations room," including identifying your mission-critical metrics, choosing the right tools like Looker Studio, creating effective dashboards, and establishing regular review rhythms. I even reveal my personal system that emails hourly, daily, and weekly reports to keep my finger on the pulse of my business.Ready to bring wartime strategic brilliance to your marketing efforts?

In the aftermath of Battle of Britain Day, both sides struggled to understand what had really changed in the aerial war over Britain. While the Luftwaffe leadership blamed their fighter pilots for the costly losses on September 15th, faulty intelligence drastically underestimated RAF strength at just 177 fighters when the actual number was 659—a miscalculation that would prove decisive. As the German high command faced the reality that their air campaign had failed to achieve air superiority, the logistical challenges of Operation Sea Lion became insurmountable, from RAF Bomber Command's devastating "Battle of the Barges" to the impossible timeline for moving armored divisions across the Channel. On September 17th, Hitler quietly postponed the invasion—not with fanfare, but with a bureaucratic whimper that effectively ended Germany's hopes of conquering Britain in 1940. The final daylight raids of September would see the Luftwaffe's grand campaign dissolve into desperate, costly attacks that only confirmed Fighter Command's continued strength, marking the end of one of history's most crucial air battles.

Vor dem Hintergrund des völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffs der israelischen Luftwaffe am 9. September 2025 gegen die Verhandlungsdelegation der Hamas in der katarischen Hauptstadt Doha mit sechs Toten kam es zu zahlreichen Fragen an die Bundesregierung. Die NachDenkSeiten wollten unter anderem wissen, ob die Erklärung des deutschen Außenministers, „die aktuelle Eskalation“ sei „ein Ergebnis des abscheulichen TerrorangriffsWeiterlesen

In den frühen Morgenstunden des 10. September sollen 19 russische Drohnen in den polnischen Luftraum eingedrungen sein. Die polnische Luftwaffe hätte in Zusammenarbeit mit anderen NATO-Mitgliedern diese Drohnen aktiv bekämpft. Während etwa der deutsche Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius von einer „gezielten“ Aktion sprach, erklärte der litauische Außenminister Kestutis Budrys, dass dafür bisher keine Anhaltspunkte vorliegen.

On September 15, 1940—Battle of Britain Day—the Luftwaffe launched what would become the climactic daylight assault of their campaign against Britain. In a desperate final effort to enable Operation Sea Lion, the German invasion of Britain, over 500 bombers escorted by hundreds of fighters targeted London's railways and dockyards in two massive raids. However, RAF Fighter Command rose to meet them with unprecedented coordination, deploying every available squadron in a series of perfectly timed intercepts that turned the skies above London into absolute mayhem. Despite wildly exaggerated victory claims on both sides, the day's fighting proved that Fighter Command was far from the spent force the Germans had hoped, while the Luftwaffe's mounting losses and fuel limitations exposed the futility of their campaign. As weather closed in and Hitler postponed Sea Lion indefinitely, September 15th marked not just the end of the daytime Battle of Britain, but the beginning of a new phase—the Blitz.

Erstmals hat die polnische Luftwaffe mutmasslich russische Drohnen abgeschossen, die in den polnischen Luftraum eingedrungen sind. Der ukrainische Präsident Selenski warf Russland vor, die Drohnen gezielt nach Polen geschickt zu haben. Testet Russland die Reaktion der Nato? Weitere Themen: Israel hat die Welt mit dem Angriff auf die Hamas-Spitze in Katar überrascht. Eben erst hiess es, Israel und die Hamas wären bereit, über eine Waffenruhe im Gazastreifen zu sprechen. Mit dem Angriff hat Israel ein Tabu gebrochen. Der Nationalrat beschäftigt sich am Mittwoch mit den Gefahren, die künstliche Intelligenz mit sich bringt. Dabei geht es insbesondere um den Schutz von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Welche Erfahrungen machen Jugendliche mit KI und KI-generierten Bildern?

Russland hat bei einem Drohnenangriff auf die Westukraine offenbar den polnischen Luftraum verletzt. Wie Polens Verteidigungsminister Kosiniak-Kamysz mitteilte, haben Flugzeuge der polnischen Luftwaffe "feindliche Objekte" über dem Staatsgebiet abgeschossen. Heimatschutz-Einheiten der Armee haben demnach die Anweisung erhalten, am Boden nach Trümmern zu suchen. Außerdem sei die Nato-Führung informiert worden.

Nach Angaben der ukrainischen Luftwaffe hat Russland in der Nacht zum Sonntag mehr als 800 Drohnen und 13 Raketen gegen ukrainische Ziele eingesetzt. Mehrere Menschen sollen dabei getötet worden sein, darunter eine Frau und ihr Neugeborenes. Adler, Sabine; Jaedicke, Thomas www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Studio 9

In this episode, we explore the critical second week of September 1940, when the Battle of Britain reached a pivotal turning point that would ultimately determine the fate of Operation Sea Lion—Germany's planned invasion of Britain. Following the devastating bombing raids on London that began September 7th, German invasion preparations were paradoxically at their peak readiness while simultaneously becoming increasingly uncertain. As the Luftwaffe shifted focus from targeting RAF airfields to bombing London's civilian and industrial targets, Hitler repeatedly delayed his invasion decision, pushing the operation dangerously late into the season. Meanwhile, Fighter Command adapted brilliantly to the new German tactics, concentrating their forces more effectively and introducing coordinated squadron attacks that would prove devastatingly effective. We'll examine how weather, tactical missteps, and the growing exhaustion of both German and British pilots set the stage for the climactic confrontation of September 15th—later known as Battle of Britain Day—while exploring the human cost of this aerial campaign on both military personnel and London's civilian population.

Abschreckung bleibt das Best-Case-Szenario, sagt der Generalinspekteur der Bundeswehr Carsten Breuer. Heute beginnt die Großübung Quadriga 2025 – mit 8.000 deutschen Soldaten der Marine, des Heeres, der Luftwaffe und anderer Bereiche.

In this pivotal episode of the Battle of Britain series, we explore the mounting pressures faced by both British and German forces as September 1940 unfolds. While the RAF continues its desperate defense against daily Luftwaffe raids, behind the scenes both nations are dealing with critical resource challenges and strategic dilemmas. The British struggle with pilot shortages and factory production disruptions caused by constant air raid warnings, leading to new policies that increase worker risk but maintain essential aircraft production. Meanwhile, German intelligence faces a mathematical crisis as their estimates of British fighter strength prove wildly inaccurate, with the RAF continuing to field strong resistance despite German claims of destroying over 1,100 fighters. As Hitler's September 10th deadline for Operation Sea Lion approaches, the Luftwaffe shifts focus from airfields to London itself, culminating in the massive September 7th bombing raid that marks the beginning of the London Blitz - a devastating new phase that would see the city bombed for 57 consecutive days and nights, forever changing the character of the Battle of Britain.

The plan was named Operation Cone of Power. Sounds militaristic. Possibly some kind of intelligence operation. Certainly had to be official. It was the summer of 1940 and Britain was bracing itself for a full-on invasion from German forces. A team of witches came together, lead by the Father of Witchcraft, Gerald Gardner, and worked their magick to push back against the Nazis. And as history documented, the Nazis never were able to invade Britain. Some may say it was the Luftwaffe's failure to defeat the Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain that kept the Germans from taking Britain, but one really has to wonder, was it the witches? And what in the world did James Bond creator Ian Fleming have to do with all of this?

We're heading back to WW2 for the most pivotal battle of the European Theater. Some of you are already scoffing at that statement but let me lay it out like this. After Germany steamrolled mainland Europe, Great Britain was all that was left. Russia and Germany weren't at war yet. The United States was still over two years away from being at war. It was the British holding the line against total Nazi domination of Europe. If Britain fell that means no where to launch an invasion, no D-Day, no liberation of France. Between July 10 and October 30 of 1939, roughly 3000 pilots, most British and Scottish, but many others from all over including countries already occupied by the Nazis, held the skies above Britain and the English Channel preventing an invasion. For almost 4 months, fighter pilots, crews keeping them airborne, radar technicians, and the WAAF dispatchers, fought a fight for the rest of the world. In the words of Winston Churchill "Never was owed by so many, to so few" This is their story, This is the Battle of Britain. Support the show

¿Qué pasaría si los occidentales se enfrentan a Hitler en sus primeros años o durante la Guerra Civil española? ¿Y si la Luftwaffe se impone en la batalla de Inglaterra o la Wehrmacht en Stalingrado? ¿O si Hitler muere en el atentado de 1944? ¿Y si los alemanes triunfan en Normandía o las Ardenas?

Cuando los vientos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial ya soplaban en contra de la Alemania nazi de Hitler, para levantar la moral del pueblo y de los soldados el Ministerio de Propaganda de Goebbels recurrió a las Wunderwaffen, las “armas maravillosas” que permitirían a los germanos derrotar a todos sus enemigos: aviones de caza, cañones sónicos y de viento, tanques gigantescos, un rayo mortal de energía solar, ¿platillos volantes?... En este vídeo documental en español os contamos la historia real de las armas milagrosas, para que conozcáis los secretos y misterios de la tecnología del III Reich. #documental #historia #tecnologia La palabra “Wunderwaffen”, que puede traducirse como “armas milagrosas” o “armas magníficas”, se empleaba para referirse a unas nuevas armas que los científicos e ingenieros alemanes estaban desarrollando y que proporcionarían a su país una ventaja repentina y decisiva en la guerra. Gracias a ellas, los ejércitos de Hitler serían capaces de invertir el curso de la guerra y derrotar a todos sus rivales, incapaces de reaccionar ante el despliegue de una tecnología abrumadoramente superior. Como aquellas armas milagrosas podían hacer su aparición el día menos pensado y sus devastadores efectos entre las filas enemigas serían inmediatos, el pueblo podía mantener su fe hasta el último momento. Probablemente, el avión experimental nazi más famoso sea el Horten IX, un prototipo de cazabombardero por el que sentía predilección el comandante en jefe de la Luftwaffe, Hermann Göring. En 1943, Göring, con el sueño de poder bombardear Gran Bretaña con facilidad, solicitó que le presentaran diseños de un cazabombardero que fuera capaz de transportar mil kilos de bombas a una distancia de 1.600 kilómetros con una velocidad de vuelo de 1.000 kilómetros por hora. Para cumplir esos requisitos, los hermanos Reimar y Walter Horten, que eran pilotos de la Luftwaffe, miembros del partido nazi y también diseñadores de aviones, idearon la primera ala volante propulsada por motores a reacción. Y llegó a construirse. A raíz de lo prometedor que era el Ho IX, los hermanos Horten decidieron diseñar una variante mayor, el Ho XVIII, para el proyecto Amerika Bomber, que, como su propio nombre indica, buscaba un bombardero capaz de atacar el territorio continental de Estados Unidos despegando desde Alemania, lo que implicaba una autonomía de vuelo superior a los 11.500 km entre ida y vuelta. Aquel proyecto ya se había planteado en 1938, antes incluso de que empezara la Guerra, pero no fue puesto en marcha hasta principios del 42, una vez que los Estados Unidos habían entrado en el conflicto. Según su diseño, el Ho XVIII medía 40 metros de envergadura y era capaz de llevar a tres tripulantes y cargar 4.000 kg de bombas. Y, efectivamente, contaba, con una autonomía de 11.500 km. Además, disponía de un par de torretas accionadas por control remoto con dos cañones de 30 mm cada una. A diferencia de su hermano menor, el Ho XVIII estaba impulsado por seis turborreactores en lugar de dos. No llegaron a construirlo. Dentro de los múltiples diseños propuestos para el proyecto Amerika Bomber, también destaca el Silbervogel, que en alemán significa Pájaro de Plata, un cohete alado suborbital que, en teoría, sería capaz de lanzar, sobre ciudades como Chicago o Nueva York, una enorme bomba convencional que explotara a cierta altura para liberar una nube de polvo radiactivo que cubriera toda la zona urbana. Aunque llegó a realizar algunos test aerodinámicos en el túnel de viento, el Sibervogel nunca despegó.
