William Patrick Hitler, a nephew of Adolf Hitler, was an interesting figure due to his connection to one of history's most infamous leaders and his own life choices that diverged significantly from his uncle's legacy. Born in Liverpool, England, in 1911, to Alois Hitler Jr. (Adolf Hitler's half-brother) and his Irish wife, Bridget Dowling, William moved between Germany and the United Kingdom during his early life, attempting to leverage his infamous surname for personal gain. During World War II, William sought to further distance himself from his uncle's legacy by serving against the Nazi regime. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1944, changing his surname to Stuart-Houston in the process. William's service in the U.S. Navy was a stark demonstration of his opposition to his uncle's ideology and actions. His enlistment was seen as an act of defiance against the Hitler legacy and an attempt to contribute to the defeat of Nazi Germany. #ww2 #history #worldwar2 #historyfacts

One notable incident in Navalny's story is his poisoning in August 2020. While on a flight in Russia, he fell seriously ill and was later confirmed to have been poisoned with a nerve agent. After receiving treatment in Germany, he returned to Russia, where he was arrested, leading to widespread protests both in Russia and internationally. On February 16th, 2024, the Federal Penitentiary Service in Russia announced that Alexei Navalny had died in a prison, in Western Siberia. According to the prison statement, Navalny had gone for a walk in the morning, felt unwell, and subsequently passed away. The prison authorities claimed that despite implementing resuscitation measures, they were unable to revive him. Navalny's death raised widespread concerns and prompted demands for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his demise. Prior to his death, Navalny had complained of malnourishment and mistreatment in the prison, and he had been treated in a hospital.

The Last German Offensive - Battle of Halbe - In April 1945, the Red Army breache the last obstacle remaining in its way, before Berlin - the Seelow Heights. Advancing rapidly, the Soviets, managed to encircle a big part of the troops that fought at Seelow Heights, preventing them from defending Berlin. Such was the case of Theodor Busse's 9th Army, which was left stranded near Halbe, south-west of Berlin. The German High Command ordered Busse's troops and Wenck's 12th Army, which was facing the Americans on the Elbe, to attack towards Berlin and relieve the city. The two commanders realised that this was impossible, as their armies' strength was reduced to an army corps, at most, and they were facing three Soviet fronts - the equivalent of an army group. Therefore, without the needed manpower and equipment, such an attempt to relieve Berlin would have been a suicidal mission. Wenck and Busse decided to create a corridor towards the Elbe, allowing civilians and German troops to surrender to the Americans, rather than face Soviet captivity. This is the Battle of Halbe.
