Quo Vadis is this author’s most famous novel, but Potop is more accessible-a swashbuckling tale with the main character being an anti-hero seeking redemption (there is a big-budget movie adaptation from the 1970s that was an Oscar contender).

My link needs some explaining for anyone outside Poland-„prać” means „washing (cloths)” but can also mean „to beat someone up”. Those two guys say „father, wash?” and it’s a quote from a famous novel about the 17th century war. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Del...

For the insiders themselves Wehrmacht did not look very impressive in 1938 (or a year later for that matter). Quick victories in 1939-41 masked deficiencies (shambolic logistics, divergent levels of equipment/training/readiness in infantry divisions).

Yeah, Hitler’s instincts for military planning were often far better than what his senior officers at OKW provided to him-at least before victory fever and later paranoia took over.

The calm competence SACEUR displays here is such a good look. But his good work can't compensate for the destabilizing effect of Trump statements, actions, and policies.

Immediate post-war years were a bumper crop when it came to conscript availability 20 years later with effectively double size, compared to lean WW1 years.

Dominix @dominix.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
It’s quite fascinating (and not a coincidence) that the WW1 impact on year groups of conscripts for the Wehrmacht ceased to be an issue in 1939.

Everyone’s mad at Danny Trejo for signing on to Ben Shapiro’s pro-ICE movie but now his son reveals how Shapiro’s team tricked an old man into doing this 😡
For anyone seeing this shit with my dad...

He was booked on a film, it's not pro-ice, it's not overtly pro anything. His agent described it as "a complicated story about a complicated time, where everyone looks bad except you, the hardworking Mexican shop owner who just wants peace.”

He jumped at the idea of playing a good guy.

About 2 weeks into shooting everyone, including us, found out Ben Shapiro was involved.

My 82 year old dad has never heard of Ben Shapiro, I had to explain to him who that is, and what kind of guy he is.

My dad contractually can't bad mouth him, the film, or walk away without being sued for breach of contract. He couldn't even release the statement he wanted to.

It's fucked up. He's handcuffed to this stupid project, and swaths of people have instantly turned their back on him without knowing any of the facts.

Ben Shapiro got Mexicans to abandon one of their heroes, got his own name to the top of google's searches, and made us look like angry fools lacking any nuance. He wins.
