Private Alfred Gregory Wyles

UK: My Grandfather’s WWII PTSD – the Cost of Our Freedom! (9.5.2026)

He trained alongside the Glider-Landed Troops – trained to sit 30 to a wooden glider (a platoon) and crash-land on a military target before deploying (if surviving). Alfred either landed on Sword Beach in the first landing-boats and fought his way (ten-miles) in-land to relieve the British Glider Troops landed in Caen – or he landed in Caen with the Glider Troops and tried to hold the area until relieved by the British Army. Either way (we are not exactly sure – but must assume the former) the German resistance was so intense the first-wave Units were decimated and many of the early objectives were not achieved. My grandfather, when talking about his experiences many years later, described how he had to kill many people as he moved through the French and German countryside. He would fight his way to Hamburg before he was granted rest and leave. It was this killing that negatively affected him psychologically. Indeed, there hundreds of thousands of men in the UK who had to re-integrate into British society and pretend nothing had happened.

UK: Soviet T-34/76 & T-34/85 Model Tank! (1.5.2036)

Interestingly, the plastic model mimics the metal kits that used to arrive in the factories in Stalingrad to be constructed by the workers – which included Disabled people. Tank crews would often train on wooden models and wait by the factory doors for each new tank to appear. These brave men and women would then drive directly to the frontline to confront the Nazi Germans. We will paint these models and add scenery and Soviet Red Army soldiers.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov

Russia: Lavrov – Europe is Trying to Give Nazism an “Acceptable Look”! (20.2.2026)

Lavrov stressed that “preserving the memory of the fight against Nazism is especially important to prevent the revival of misanthropic ideology in any formats, in any manifestations.” The minister recalled that 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of the completion of the Nuremberg Tribunal, “at which history issued a final, irrevocable verdict to the war criminals of the Third Reich guilty of genocide of the peoples of the former Soviet Union.”

Netherlands: US Removal of Panels Honouring Black Soldiers Housed at WWII Dutch Cemetery Draws Backlash! (31.12.2025)

After months of mystery around the disappearance of the panels, two media organizations — the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) and online media Dutch News — this month published emails obtained through a U.S. Freedom of Information Act request showing that Trump’s DEI policies directly prompted the commission to take down the panels.

The White House did not respond to queries from AP about the removed panels.

The American Battle Monuments Commission did not respond to queries from AP about the revelations. Earlier, the ABMC told the AP that the panel that discussed segregation “did not fall within (the) commemorative mission.”

Stalin Peace Prize

Venezuela: JULIAN ASSANGE FILES CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST NOBEL FOUNDATION – “TURNING THE PEACE PRIZE INTO AN INSTRUMENT OF WAR”! (17.12.2025)

A “Stalin Peace Prize” was developed in the USSR post-1945 to counter the corruption inherent in the Scandinavian Nobel Prize – particularly in light of the fact that Sweden and Norway were occupied by Nazi Germany during WWII (with many thousands of Scandinavian men volunteering for Hitler’s “SS” Divisions that killed so many millions in the Soviet Union and elsewhere). Following Khrushchev’s betrayal of Stalin in 1956 – the Stalin Peace Prize was replaced with the “Lenin Peace Prize” – with those having previously won it demeaned as receiving an award from a working-class leader the capitalist West hated. Indeed, like Portugal, Sweden (although officially “neutral” doing WWII) surreptitiously supported Nazi Germany by supplying important raw materials (such as oil) to the Hitlerite war machine. Like Amnesty International, the Nobel Prize is nothing but an instrument of capitalist aggression and imperialist war. It a typically “inverted” manner – the Nobel Prize facilitates war between human groupings – whilst ridiculously claiming it is pursuing the exact opposite of its true intention. The Nobel Prize creates the conditions for bourgeois war whilst claiming the killing it is encouraging is the genuine bedrock of world-peace. If the Nobel Prize was an individual – he or she would be detained for severe mental health issues. Sweden and Norway have absolutely NOTHING to teach the world about “peace” and the very fact that the Nobel Prize has chosen to empower the most far-right President the US has ever elected – speak volumes!

UK: Soviet War Memorial – London – “Remembering the Unknown Soldier”! (5.12.2025)

The Day of the Unknown Soldier was established by the Presidential decree in 2014. The choice of date is symbolic: on 3 December 1966 the remains of an unidentified soldier who perished in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 were reinterred in the Alexander Garden beside the Kremlin wall. On 8 May 1967 the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was unveiled and the Eternal Flame was lit on the site, which became one of Russia’s central places of wartime remembrance.
