>Geraldo Baêta da Cruz >Arlindo Lúcio da Silva >Geraldo Rodrigues de Souza Members of a patrol, the three came face to face with a whole German company. They were ordered to surrender but continued in combat. Gunned down on April 14, 1945, they received special honors from the German army. Admired with the courage and resistance of the miners, the commander had them buried in shallow graves and put a cross and a plaque with the inscription: >Drei brasilianische helden The band Sabaton made a music in honor of them. youtu.be/1M7sUCElJK0
I remember reading about these guys. I like how Germans always seem to make summary memorials and crosses for allies they kill but respect. They did it for Teddy Roosevelt's son in WWI, too. Didn't know Sabaton made a song about them.
Have you watched A Estrada 47? Seeing Brazilian troops sort of but not really understanding Italian partizans was interesting since I never made the connection that the two languages are similar enough while being different.

I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way. John Paul Jones (6 July 1747 – 18 July 1792) was a Scottish American sailor and the United States' first well-known naval fighter in the American Revolutionary War. >I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.

What's the story behind this?
Benjamin Russell
Carl Theodor Körner >Carl Theodor Körner (23 September 1791 – 26 August 1813) was a German poet and soldier. After some time in Vienna, where he wrote some light comedies and other works for the Burgtheater, he became a soldier and joined the Lützow Free Corps in the German uprising against Napoleon. During these times, he displayed personal courage in many fights, and encouraged his comrades by fiery patriotic lyrics he composed. >Hostilities recommenced on 17 August 1813; Körner spent the night of 25 August at Gottesgabe manor, where he played the piano and sang. In the early morning of the next day, an engagement took place at the nearby forest of Rosenow near Gadebusch, in which Körner fell. >Körner died at the age of twenty-one
Probably the most patriotic German ever. His poems and songs are full of passion and love for the German fatherland.
Just one American leading Irish volunteers, but he's the author of the book and as the Commander had a large role. No problem, it's definitely interesting.

Hans-Ulrich Rudel >best attack fighter pilot of all times >flew more than 2500 attack missions, got shot down several times >close to the end of the war he got hit by an FLAK, crash landed and lost half his leg. Just days later he ran away from the hospital to fly again desroyed many more enemy tanks >during his time he destroyed 519 tanks, as well as a number of ships. Had 51 aerial victories (in a fucking Stuka) and destroyed more than 800 vehicles of all types and some bridges >after the war he was active in the ex-soldier szene and helped out in south America >at his funeral, even so it was forbidden, an formation of the Luftwaffe flew over the graveyard and a bunch of Hitler salutes were shown
Not so sure in english, but isn't an attack fighter pretty much the same? (he also did not bomb that much but used these big guns )
Kayden Reed
In English I've always understood fighter to mean a pilot that primarily engages with other aircraft vs. a bomber who primarily engages with targets on the land. I don't think we ever had Stuka-style pilots in large numbers though so that may explain the language gap. Also I am a brainlet
spector >blasted the mutts >blasted the bydlos >blasted the ayyrabs >bombed iraqi nuclear reactor >was commander of the base i served in (and my squadron) >12 air kills some leftist cuckery in his later years but overall great guy also his dad was part of some joint yeshuv-british commando mission to destroy nazi oil refineries in lebanon and their boat blew up on a mine or something, nobody knows what happened but some bodies washed up on the shore later.

In 1757 he outmaneuvered the Prussian armies and with his hussars captured Berlin, he forced them to pay him ransom, then he hastely left, because the Prussians dispateched units to intercept him. He successfully escaped that army too.
