Captain Richard Todd, landed at Pegusus Bridge and fought alongside Major Howard, and throughout the ETO.  Went on to an acting career, including staring roles in The Dambusters, and in The Longest Day, where he played role role of Major Howard.  Died December 3rd, 2009, just 3 days ago.  He will be missed :(

Chinese Soldiers, probably from the 88th Division, fighting on Nanking, 1937.

Vice-Admiral Matome Ugaki, commander of Imperial Japanese Navy 5th Air Fleet and director of "Thunder God Corps" with Yokosuka D4y3, prior to leading a force of 11 such aircraft (with 22 crew) on a final kamikaze mission intended for US shipping off Okinawa, 15 August 1945. Ugaki was aware of the Emperor's surrender announcement at the time - but had not received the official order. He therefore felt justified in joining his "fallen cherry blossoms" in death - bringing a further 22 "cherry blossoms" to the ground in the process. The mission failed, and the fate of most of the aircraft is uncertain. In any case, none returned.

Members of the 8th SS Cavalry Division during Anti-Partisan action in the Soviet Union, Mai 1943.

In 1941, the unit murdered over 14,000 Jews in the Pripyat Swamps, followed by 7800 near Minsk.

The unit's name, Florian Geyer, stems from an old German folk hero, who lead a Heavy Cavalry Company during the Peasant's War in the 16th century and is usually associated with Socialists and Communists.

Interesting. I was actually very recently wondering if there were any major battles or any other happenings in the areas of Pripyat and Chernobyl.
