This is making the rounds here, no idea who started it.
Some background information:
Group captain Stagg was a British meteorologist attached to the Royal Air Force during WWII who persuaded General Eisenhower to change the date of the Allied invasion of Europe from 5 to 6 June 1944. (source Wikipedia)
Field marshall Montgomery was in command of all Allied ground forces during the Normandy landing on D-Day, 6 June 1944 (source Wikipedia, but you all knew that OK?)
Air force officer Tedder was deputy supreme commander under Eisenhower during the Normandy landing on D-Day, 6 June 1944 (also Wikipedia, you all know who Eisenhower was I take it)
Air chief marshall Leigh-Mallory was the air commander during D-Day operations on 6 June 1944 (Wikipedia again)
Admiral Ramsay was commanding the naval forces on D-Day, June 6 1944 (thanks Wikipedia, his name is spelled incorrectly in the image above)
Völkischer Beobachter was the newspaper (aka mouthpiece) of the German nazi party from 1920 until the last months of WWII (take my word)
Signal is an open-source, encrypted messaging service for instant messaging, voice calls, and video calls, a safe-ish alternative to whatsapp et al., it is non-profit and was launched in 2018. I just did a lot of research on it recently.
Real life is stranger than fiction!

ReplyDeleteTed Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.
This is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe mistake was bad enough, the denial of making the mistake is truly pathetic.
ReplyDeleteDark humor!
ReplyDeleteClever, funny, and uncomfortably close to present day truth.
ReplyDeleteSignal is more secure than most. Doesn't mean it can't be hacked and they used their personal phones, also not secure. What a bunch of fucking self important idiots.
