The Brutal US Colonel Who Refused to Surrender
In the frostbitten Vosges Mountains of northeastern France, near the German border, 1945 began with a New Year’s Day offensive.

Here, amidst the forgotten echoes of the famous Battle of the Bulge, a smaller yet equally fierce struggle unfolded: Operation Nordwind, where even the bravest battle-hardened soldiers found themselves tested to their limits.

In this frozen landscape, a group of weary American soldiers from the 157th Infantry Regiment
lay entrenched in the town of Reipertswiller. They were the forgotten men of Nordwind, trapped for days under what seemed like a 24/7 barrage.

Encircled, ammunition was dwindling, supplies had run dry, and the biting cold certainly didn’t help. Their spirits, battered by the constant bombardment and the gnawing hunger, hung by a thread.

On January 18, the distant rumble of tanks broke the sound of artillery.

As the beleaguered soldiers' eyes lifted, they spotted the unmistakable silhouette of Sherman tanks cutting through the frozen terrain. But as the vehicles drew closer, the men felt hope for the first time in days, as in the lead tank's hatch, surveying the battlefield with a calm, determined gaze, all while under endless fire, was their commander, Lieutenant Colonel Felix Sparks.

Against all odds, he had come to lead them out of this frozen hell.

The Most Terrifying Weapon the Nazis Feared

The path to Berlin was nearly clear. Only three German lines between the River Maas and the River Rhine stood in the Allies’ way. To once and for all break into Germany, the Allies launched Operation Veritable on the morning of February 8, 1945,

Assembled in the valley were nearly 250,000 British and Canadian soldiers lined up shoulder-to-shoulder. With them came one of the heaviest British artillery barrages of the war, with hundreds of vehicles of all types, along with over 1,000 artillery guns, their steel barrels aimed directly at the enemy.

The Germans were dug-in, but the Allies had a card up their sleeve: one of their most terrifying innovations that even the most battle-hardened Nazi would fear.

With US OK, Ukraine Hits Russia's Belgorod in Massive Rocket Attack
https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/russia-ukraine-war-kharkiv-biden-missiles/2024/06/02/id/1167133/?ns_mail_uid=6027034f-006f-40ef-b94b-fe4719b97a24&ns_mail_job=DM631659_06022024&s=acs&dkt_nbr=0101027mqpov

After gaining approval from the Biden administration, Ukraine reportedly used U.S. High-Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) to hit targets in the Russian city of Belgorod, 20 miles north of the Russia-Ukraine border in southern Russia.

“This is a welcome step that will allow us now to better protect Ukraine and Ukrainians from Russian terror and attempts to expand the war,” Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote right before the attack, Forbes reported.

The onslaught included potentially dozens of 660-pound rockets, each ranging as far as 57 miles with 50 pounds of high explosives, raining on Belgorod, according to the Forbes report.

State media claimed air-defense batteries shot down 14 rockets, and there is some evidence of rocket fragments on the ground, Forbes and other reports indicated. It’s unclear how much damage the raid inflicted — and, more to the point, how much damage it inflicted on military targets.

Other independent military observers confirmed the use of HIMARS.

Russian artillery destroyed a stronghold occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) near Avdiivka in the Donetsk region on Tuesday, RIA Novosti reported, citing Russia's Ministry of Defense.
The strike also neutralized an AFU "electronic warfare station," after Russian drone crews relayed the location of the camouflaged Ukrainian stronghold to a Russian artillery crew that promptly fired 120-millimeter high-explosive fragmentation shells upon the target.
The report provided no information on the number of Ukrainian casualties.
