Ilya Ehrenburg chats with Red Army soldiers in 1942.
"The Germans are not human beings. From now on the word German means to use the most terrible oath. From now on the word German strikes us to the quick. We shall not speak any more. We shall not get excited. We shall kill. If you have not killed at least one German a day, you have wasted that day ... If you cannot kill your German with a bullet, kill him with your bayonet. If there is calm on your part of the front, or if you are waiting for the fighting, kill a German in the meantime. If you leave a German alive, the German will hang a Russian and rape a Russian woman. If you kill one German, kill another -- there is nothing more amusing for us than a heap of German corpses. Do not count days, do not count kilometers. Count only the number of Germans killed by you. Kill the German -- that is your grandmother's request. Kill the German -- that is your child's prayer. Kill the German -- that is your motherland's loud request. Do not miss. Do not let through. Kill."
The effects of his writings are written on the German faces at The Elbe.

An armorer is working on the guns of a Dauntless. The caption said it was on the Ranger, so this could have been taken during its actions in the Atlantic as part of Operation Torch.

Not likely as the insignia is from mid '43 or later. (depends whether it is red or blue border)

Can't have too many pics of the Skua. Always had a soft spot for that odd-looking bird.
This Skua is captured no?

Aircraft landed in the Fazealven River near Ramsele, Sweden. The crew were captured. The Skua's serial number is L2942 of 801 Sqn. Here's another pic of it.
