烈火与愤怒：B-25轰炸机飞越意大利维苏威火山，1944年

The Mighty Eight I believe, which wouldn't include this if I remember correctly. They did daylight bombings of Berlin

*Please for the love of God*

Everyone would just call him "Brooklyn" and he would always be talking about his girl back home, who he keeps a picture of tucked in his helmet.

Mark Whalberg from Brooklyn?! That's heresy. He'd be from Southie and talking about how Ted Williams is going to win it all for the Sox once the war is over.

Now it’s okay, right? Right, Guys? Guys? Where’d everybody go?

The volcano eats it and gives no fucks.

Just saying that it's one of the most well-preserved lessons in history.

Looks like snow to me, but it's hard to tell. Maybe that particular part of the photo is so bright because the sun's at the right angle to reflect off the slope?

New on netflix maybee?

Reminds me of that one camp where the Americans or Russians or whoever liberated it and kinda just let the prisoners do whatever. I 100% believe the fear was real. I would have been scared to death, facing hundreds/thousands of people that have had their entire lives ruined. Brutally ruined. looked it up, it was Dachau edit: "Another soldier witnessed an inmate stomping on an SS trooper's face until 'there wasn't much left.' When the soldier said to him, 'You've got a lot of hate in your heart,' he simply nodded." - Cpl. Robert W. Flora, H Company, 22d Regiment

Damn bro. I was enjoying thinking that the locals brought spaghetti, wine, and footballs to the prisoners.

Your right that these stories should be taken lightly but I can add that my great grandfather was captured twice by the Italians during WWII, and while their camps weren't day spas, they were nothing compared to how the Germans treated their POWs. Which he later experienced after being captured a third time. Not sure if he was good at escaping, bad at staying undetected, or both...

A huge grain of salt is definitely necessary, but it's also good to remember that village Italy--especially south of Naples--is a world away from Rome or even village German life. Fascism takes root most easily in industrial centers where cities and villages are connected via some kind of technology (be it phones, trains, newspapers, etc) and citizens have jobs other than subsistence farming/fishing. A *huge* portion of southern Italy lived hand-to-mouth in the '30s and '40s, and did not benefit from such 'luxuries' as running water, indoor plumbing, electric stoves, etc. These people lived much the way their ancestors did 200 years earlier, and in some cities like Sperlinga and Matera, people still lived in neolithic caves, or right alongside their livestock (it was common practice up through the 1960s in many villages for the animals to be paddocked on the 'ground' floor of a home, and the humans to live above on the second, taking advantage of the animals' warmth). Villagers didn't travel much outside of their region (someone from say, Eboli, probably would have visited Salerno several times in their life, and while they *may* have some experience with Naples, it would have been rare to find someone who had been to Rome, Milan, or Florence) and as a result these communities were not only incredibly insular, but also stuck in a completely different century than the Fascist North. This is also a region where the people have a deep and abiding distrust of authority, whether it's Norman, Aragonese, or Roman. In these little towns, your community and your environment are all you know. It's hard to care what a man in Rome says about government, national destiny, or war, when you get up every morning before sunrise to head out on your little fishing boat to bring in the day's catch, and then sell it at the market in a town of ~300 people that's 25km from the next little village over, and you're only connected by the most tortuously winding dirt road you ever saw. And your village probably has an ongoing rivalry with that other little village that dates back to the 1300s. Fascism was never going to stick in southern Italy because the extreme distrust of outsiders made Mussolini just as suspect as a little green alien stepping out of a spaceship. Also, the fact that the Fascist government wanted to uproot these people from their traditional way of life instilled a deep hatred in these rural pockets. Sure, it's nice to get a brand new house with modern utilities for free from the government, but you're much less likely to actually take it when it's built for a suburbanite and not for farmers' purposes, or when the government says they're going to force you to live there because your conditions in your great-great-great-great-great-grandfather's house are "shameful," "dirty," and "subhuman." I could see village folks just not being able to wrap their heads around the idea of a concentration camp because they put community identity before religious identity, and there *is* something ridiculously Italian about some little old *nonna* trying to smuggle food to her imprisoned neighbor in an effort to "cheer them up." Buuuut they're basically under occupation by foreign forces (Germans and *non-local* Italians... there is no understating how foreign the south saw/still sees the north, much much more so than in the US) so I'm assuming acts of rebellion were on a pretty small scale, and more akin to hiding neighbors or sneaking them food, rather than liberating entire camps.

Found Samuel Jackson's alt account.

Apologies, you are correct.

“Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?” “I’m afraid I don’t understand.” “Ou sont les Neigedens d’antan?” Yossarian said to make it easier for him. “Parlez en anglais, for Christ’s sake,” said the corporal, “Je ne parle pas français” “Neither do I,” answered Yossarian, who was ready to pursue him through all the words in the world to wring the knowledge from him if he could... That’s one of the best exchanges in the whole book IMO.
