Bet you don't know these details about how German flak worked!
During the Second World War thousands of Allied aircraft would take part in missions over Western Europe. German forces would employ anti-aircraft fire to stop these planes from making it to their targets. But have you ever wondered how German Flak works? In today's video, we look at a 1943 training video which shows the workings of German gun batteries as well as evasive manoeuvres Allied aircraft used.
One of the underwater mysteries that once puzzled experts was the discovery of strange drawings in the sand with almost perfect circular patterns found on the seabed off Japan. It took them a decade to find out why they originated and why they suddenly appeared and disappeared until they finally managed to discover it. The author of these amazing formations, almost 2 meters wide, was a newly discovered species of puffer fish measuring no more than 12 centimeters. Subsequent studies determined that they were ornate circles to attract mating partners. Males spend six weeks building these "crop circles" underwater just to mate for a few seconds. To make them, he gathers fine sand in mounds and decorates them with seashells he finds. If he is lucky, the willing female will stand in the center of the circle to indicate approval for mating. If not, the ocean current will carry away his work of art.

So cool. My grandparents were German and told us stories about them. I forgot all about it until now! Thanks Jimy!

This was the time of year in 1963 that JFK declared to the people of Berlin that he was "a jelly donut"
True fact
The longest German word I know is
"Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft."
(Way longer than Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz)
Great idea! I would have thought the same thing.
