translate: In Hengyang, China. A spectacular moment when other soldiers are carrying the attack troops because there is no time to build a bridge during the march. The goal is only to destroy the enemy."

All those pics were taken in the late 1930s except #2,942 in the early 1940s.
Great pics.

Any idea what ship that is in post 2943? The shape of the turret looks Great War era.

Probably Training ship Yakumo (1900-1947) or Iwate (1901-1945).

Kaufland Spandau supermarket, an incongruous location for the site of the death of the last surviving Nazi within Hitler's inner circle, Rudolf Hess.

Europe 380

Eighty years ago on 13 May 1941, after what was a remarkable feat of aerial navigation after dusk, Hess abandoned his Bf 110 and parachuted into captivity in Scotland. There have been many books and articles written about why Hess went to the UK, but suffice to say, his appearance at Nuremberg did nothing to dispel the rumours he had lost his mind. One of the engines of his Bf 110 on display in Scotland.

MoF 99

Following Hess' death in 1987, the prison was demolished, although a few buildings remain that date back to the prison fortress to remind us of its morbidly fascinating history. A British military commissary was built on-site and it was wryly known as 'Hessco's' after the UK supermarket chain Tesco's. A guardhouse flanking the former entrance to the prison.

Would you be able to to translate a few snippets from these articles?

 

[Shinpachi]

It would have been better for the Japanese aviation enthusiasts too if those articles had introduced the names of makers and aircraft but nothing as military secret except slogans like "Let's build more planes to win!".

The first pic seems Mitusubish Ki-57 or MC-20 transport plane.
From the second to last -

Nakajima Ki-49
Ditto
Nakajima L2D

Kawasaki Ki-48
Nakajima Ki-43
