The flashback story of a U.S. Army Ranger (Xanatos) and his journey behind enemy German lines in Italy involving a fellow American soldier (STEV) and a British POW (WolfeR). Despite the trauma going on around him, he becomes in possession of an enemy truck which contains a cache full of diamonds while one German officer (played by Crackbone) is focused on retrieving them. Soldiers of Misfortune is an action/war machinima film created in the Valve Half-Life Source (Episode 2) Engine based-games Day of Defeat: Source (a world war 2 game in HL2’s engine) and Garrysmod 10 (a sandbox modification). It doubles as a homage to the films of the legendary director Quentin Tarantino, with fun references to Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Kill Bill along the way.

This is a short, but favorable, presentation discussing Frank Capra’s World War II propaganda series entitled “Why We Fight.” This series of films was funded by the United States government and used to condition the American military and public to accept the war.
The majority of Americans wanted no part of another European conflict. Behind the scenes though the Roosevelt administration was steering the country towards war.
Watch the entire film series by following the playlist links to each part below:

(Part 1 of 2) RT is bringing you full coverage of the Victory Day parade from the Red Square, the heart of Moscow. This year’s parade is the largest commemoration since 1945, when Nazi Germany was defeated by the USSR and the Allies. Today, for the first time ever, France, Britain and the U.S. have sent their own soldiers to parade past the Kremlin wall. Narrator Peter Lavelle

During the two years of the war, British cryptologists decoded German communications with limited success. Older codes, used for low security messages, were readily identified and broken by the Bletchley Park team. Some newer codes were broken mathematically, but decoding and translating these messages by hand proved an arduous task. By the time messages were fully understood, the information they contained was often outdated. Compounding the problem, these intercepts contained very little useful intelligence information. Since the mid-1930s, the German government had used complex cipher machines to disguise their most important communications.
The first great code breaking triumph at Bletchley Park came on August 30, 1941. A British “Y Station,” one of the military listening stations that intercepted German communications, picked up a depth, a repeat transmission that used the same settings on the cipher machine. This intercept was forwarded to Bletchley Park. Cryptologists identified as “fish,” the nickname for a message produced by the illusive Geheimschreiber cipher machine. Within two months, the Bletchley Park team broke the high-level German code.
To facilitate the processing of “fish” intercepts, Bletchley Park engineers borrowed an idea from plans the Polish intelligence service gave Britain before the war. They constructed a machine that aided the deciphering of intercepts, nicknamed a “bombe” because of the low, roaring noise it made while operating. The “bombe” constructed to decipher Geheimschreiber transmissions did help cryptographers to process intercepts more rapidly, but the machine required the exact synchronization of two paper tapes for printing. The tapes often broke, and the machine had to be reset. In addition, the start setting to process each intercept, the original cipher settings used by the Germans to send the message, had to be calculated by British cryptologists by hand. The process was still too complex to yield decoded intercepts ready for immediate translation to be useful to intelligence and military personnel.
Most of Germany’s high-level military messages were encoded using a cipher machine called Enigma. The complex code used not only a cipher, but also an overlaying encryption to disguise the original text. The series of rotor wheels on the Enigma teleprinter gave the machine an extraordinary number of code combinations. The Germans were so confidant that the machine code was so nearly infinite in possibilities that it could never be broken. However, various intelligence services in neighboring nations had made considerable progress breaking Enigma even before the outbreak of the war. In Britain, efforts to break Enigma were known as Operation Ultra.
In the months preceding the German invasion of Poland in 1939, Polish intelligence passed on to British intelligence information on their efforts to break Enigma. Most helpful was the information Polish spies gathered on how the cipher machine operated, including sketches of the teleprinter and some of its components. With the information, Bletchley Park cryptologists found two key weak links in the Enigma code. Enigma code prohibited that any letter be encrypted as itself, and German standards of communication dictated that the same phrase begin all transmissions. Exploiting these two weaknesses, British cryptologists unraveled the Enigma code mathematically in late 1940.
Even though cryptologists could read portions of Enigma transmissions, they encountered the same delay of accessing intercepted information as they had with other codes. Another bombe was constructed that could process Enigma codes, expediting code breaking. However, cryptologists and engineers at Bletchley Park realized that another mechanical solution was needed to fully exploit German intercepts. To this end, two Bletchley Park engineers invented Colossus, the first electronic, programmable machine in 1943. Colossus not only decoded messages, but also broke through the overlaying cipher, producing a ready to translate copy of the intercept in the original German. With Colossus, Bletchley Park could decipher German communications before the intended recipients. Translated intercepts were immediately passed on to intelligence and military officials, making Bletchley Park central to the Allied war effort.
