Keine letzte Ruhe (No final rest).
The grave of fighter pilot Walter Nowotny in Vienna smeared with red paint, their favorite color, by the leftist communists.

Keine letzte Ruhe

Sir Oswald Mosley's Nazi fellow traveller "Blackshirt" movement in pre-war Britain may actually have appreciated being opposed with violence in London's East End; they must have been less happy about intellectual opoosition.  The comic stories of P.G. Wodehouse regularly feature the character of Sir Roderick Spode, Baronet (later Lord Sidcup) an aristocratic bully bearing a certain resemblance to Mosley, and leader of a fashionable Fascist movement called the "Black Shorts" (played here for television by actor John Turner).  Spode is indeed a bully - but ultimately a figure of fun.  What message there might be here for current Nazi wannabees, I cannot imagine.  Best regards, JR.

Dim Fascist fellow travellers.

This tank was the first Tiger to be captured intact by British or U.S. forces when it was knocked out in the final month of the Tunisian campaign. It arrived in Tunisia some time between 22nd March and 16th April 1943 and was involved in an action with 48 RTR near Medjez-el-Bab on 21 April 1943. It knocked out two Churchills but a shot from another's six pounder stuck the gun mantlet, and although unable to penetrate the tank's thick armour, jammed the turret and wounded the commander. Damage is still visible on the mantlet, superstructure front plate and turret lifting boss. The crew abandoned the tank and it was recovered the next day and refurbished using parts from other vehicles. The Tiger was later displayed in Tunis and inspected there by King George VI and Winston Churchill. In October 1943 it was sent to the School of Tank Technology for evaluation and in November 1944 displayed on Horse Guards Parade.
