USSR: Foreign Waffen-SS Units Fighting for Nazi German During WWII! (15.11.2025)

After-all, WWII was a war of diametrically opposed ideologies. Even Jews (and Muslims) – amongst many other religious and ethnic groups – served in the Wehrmacht and SS formations. What follows is a full list of Waffen-SS Units that were formally established and recruited members into the Nazi German Army (some individuals, such as the Catholic Irish – did join the Nazi Germans [at the behest of the Vatican] – primarily in unofficial SS formations – or were distributed into other groupings due to time constraints and conditions on the ground). This is a list of SS Units that non-Germans could join (out of the hundreds of thousands of British POWs held during WWII – only “54” dared to join these enemy Units. They were tried and sentenced to death after the war). Furthermore, ethnic Germans born and/or living outside Nazi Germany were permitted to form their own SS Units.

Irish Confederates - "nd Battle of Sabine Pass!

CSA: Second Battle of Sabine Pass [8.9.1863] – The Irish-Confederate “Thermopylae” in Texas! (8.6.2025)

US anti-intellectualism is like a very stupid version of Christian theology that arbitrarily separates the world in a childish “good” and “evil” – with everything “good” being whatever US foreign policy happens to be – and everything “bad” that which opposes it. Since 1945 to present, the US Military has killed 30 million people around the world (in the name of “peace”) – enforcing its ideology of predatory capitalism. Today, President Trump has usurped the power of the State Governor of LA – enacting a post-Civil War law that cedes all State power over its local military to the Federal President – a move designed to prevent resistance to Federal policies and to stop any threat of secession. In this instance, Trump’s overtly “racist” policies are triggering mass protests and uprisings amongst the general population. When the Confederacy lost the Civil War – the States lost their individual freedom and this has allowed a Neo-Nazi President to enact a racist “Federal” reign of terror upon the American people!

Confederate Soldiers Defend - Battle of the Crater

CSA: A Western Theatre Southern “Private” and “General” Discuss Slavery and the Negro Soldiers of the North! (3.6.2025)

Many American Civil War historical narratives give the (false) impression that the Confederacy lost at Gettysburg in 1863 – staggered on with a futile resistance for two-more years – and then surrendered at Appomattox. Nothing could be further from the truth. Tens of thousands of men bravely fought, died and were wounded on both sides between 1863-1865 – with the Confederacy  winning a number of notable victories after Gettysburg. Private Daniel Kelly quoted above, fought in the Confederate Army in the Western Theatre of the Confederacy – as opposed to the far more famous Eastern Theatre (where Gettysburg was situated). Furthermore, Black, Chinese and Native American men fought in the Confederate Army – but their presence is more or less “erased” from history because such a presence tends to lead to inconvenient and even embarrassing questions.

CSA: Remembering the Bravery of “Irish” Company “K” – 15th Alabama – Little Round-Top [2.7.1863] – Gettysburg! (3.4.2025)

The weather was hot – and the Confederates had to advance over open ground before storming an inclined slope (in the form of a steep hill) – with the intention of sweeping the Federals off its top and consolidating the victory. The previous day had seen the Confederates sweep the Federals out of West and Central Gettysburg – and into the hills to its East. Washington was just 80 miles to the South – and legend has it that Lincoln was packing his belongings to flee! I have audio-typed part of a chapter from Stephen Sears’ book – carefully reproducing the text from an Audible edition (in my native British English). This provides a general background to the battle – but does not mention the Irish specifically – other than one or two fighting for the Union. For the story of “Company K” of the 15th Alabama Regiment of the Confederate States of America (CSA) – we must turn to the excellent work of Phillip Thomas Tucker – who has produced an excellent book examining the contribution to the Confederate cause made by the Irish!

CSA: Piles of Thread-Bare Confederates at Antietam [Sharpsburg] – Notes on Their Sacrifice! (31.1.2025)

The Union Army paid the farmer $1 per dead Confederate body and the farmer made $60 out of the deal. He dug a new well in a different place for the cost of $2 – making a wartime profit of $58. No one knows the names of these Confederate soldiers – and if it was not for a report being made by the Union soldiers concerned – no one would know about these men today. Of course, there was great bravery on both sides – but the spin placed on the war by the winners has skewed how the Confederacy is viewed today. These Confederate men (and boys) advanced into the Union fire with the utmost discipline and determination. They believed 100% in their cause – which was for the freedom of their individual countries (termed “States”). At the time, this war was not only about slavery – but has been made ONLY about slavery since 1865. Many believed the federalisation of the United States was a betrayal of the 1776 War of Independence – and nothing short of a great evil!

An Underround Tunnel!

UK: New Transatlantic Tunnel – London-New York Travel Time Cut to 54 Minutes! (6.12.2024

While the Transatlantic Tunnel may be an ambitious, far-reaching concept that may never come to fruition in the near future, it sparks significant conversations about the future of international travel. It also pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved in transportation infrastructure, encouraging the exploration of innovative, futuristic ways to connect distant parts of the world. As the world continues to evolve and embrace new technologies, the dream of linking continents via tunnels may one day become a reality—changing the landscape of travel forever.
