A big mistake (Dieppe 1942)

In 1942 the Allies had attempted to land in Europe, considering incomplete coastal defenses of the Axis. For logistical needs, it was necessary to seize a major port, able to accommodate the huge flow of men and materials necessary to establish a bridgehead on the continent. The choice fell on the port of Dieppe, and was a disaster. The Churchill tanks sank in the sand just landed and the men were flooded by a rain of fire that came from well-protected positions, against which the batteries had not ship have nothing. The scene depicts some German soldiers who, in the final stage of the fighting, down to the beach to monitor the situation and counter the attempt of landing:

In the overhead view you can see the underground station on which is installed in the turret of a tank car French FT-17.

Equipped with a 37 mm gun at low initial velocity, this means, dating back to World War I, was already obsolete at the beginning of the conflict. After the capitulation of France many towers were used in fixed locations such as the photo.

Let's look at the players:

We see two sailors Kriegsmarine (navy) and a soldier Wehrmacht (army). Let's start a naval officer:

wearing the uniform fabric melton blue ordnance and is armed with a machine gun Bergmann caliber 9 mm, while there is a belt Stielhandgranate , or a hand grenade with handle confidently called "masher." Its position is indicated by the hat with the visor and controspalline trips gold.

front of him see his subject:

In this appear we can see the double-cut blouse and gold buttons. The NCO has a good supply of grenades and brandishing a Karabiner 98k with fixed bayonet. A distinction is that even the pouches to the belt and blue insignia, chevrons on the left arm are edged in gold.

analyze the figurine soldier

He is armed with a rifle and wearing K98k order the 1936 version of waffenrock (ie the army blouse), which provided controspalline and collar dark green fabric, contrasting with the gray of the rest. Until 1943, moreover, provided the uniform of gray pants and boots-mouse blacks bore. Flashes and controspalline are white, color identification of the infantry.

The diorama is a scale of 1:35, with plastic figurines Dragon and Tamiya. The tower comes with a set of east-European production, while the retaining wall and the stairs are made of plaster, the CVR.

I closed the back of the diorama with corrugated cardboard, which I also created the basis for the embankment. The turret is glued on a cardboard tube that served as the axis for a roll of adhesive labels.

Gravel and grass crib bonded with the vinavil complete the effect.

you soon!

"... NO TO THE DEATH, who died in Auschwitz."

Entrance to the extermination camps of Auschwitz

Never close your eyes, never turn away, never again retreat before a " discrimination" that affects only one of our brothers, because of its origin , language, color of his skin or because of his political, religious, sexual ... " not to repeat, from the ash pit, death ".




Auschwitz

There, Auschwitz, away from the Vistula,
love, along the northern plains,
in a death camp: Cold, funeral
rain on the piles of rust and tangles
iron fence:
and no tree or bird in the air
gray or from our thinking, but inertia
and pain that the memory of his silence leaves
without irony or anger.
From hell opened by a white
written: "Work will set you free"
door was still smoking
of thousands of women pushed out from dawn
kennels
against the wall of the shooting or smothered screaming mercy
water by mouth
skeleton under the gas showers.
You'll find you, soldier, in your
history in the form of rivers, of animals, or are you also
ashes of Auschwitz,
medal of silence?
remain closed braids in the polls even close to
glass amulets
and infinite shades of small shoes and scarves
of Jews
are relics of a time of wisdom, wisdom of man who makes
measure 'weapons,
are the myths, our metamorphosis.

On stretches where love and pity and tears
rotted in the rain,
there, no one was beating within us, a
no to death, died in Auschwitz,
not to repeat, from the ash pit
, death.

Itching Make Scabies Worse?

AND 'THE TIME OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

Walter Veltroni and Pier Luigi Bersani.

The year 2011 began exactly where we left off: there, in quell'intrigo of political, ethical, social and institutional changes which seem to begin to unravel, partly because of some unforeseen unscheduled too "minor" and therefore more serious consequences.
the first node I spoke in the post 16 January: that the outcome of the referendum on the union of Mirafiori which was won with a slim majority by supporters of the SI, and that loaded on the shoulders of Marchionne entire responsibility for creating the conditions for hours ephemeral and not a revival, however, strong company and to facilitate the mending of the tear has developed between the workers, even before the trade unions. Because it is a "team" of employees motivated and love your company, your product, make a difference, to determine success. Marchionne will create the conditions, but the tear can heal just about politics, the government then, with legislative action on the representation and union representation. This is a task too delicate for which this government and this majority does not seem equipped for either political or for social awareness. To this I say that "is the time of the Democratic Party."

The other node, the one concerning the verdict of the Constitutional Court on "legal impediment" for the prime minister, seems to have been only partially dissolved, and if so should be confident that the referendum promoted by IdV and approved by the Constitutional Court just a few days ago, will sweep away altogether. In any case, started the process for bringing Berlusconi and his claim to be above and beyond the law, breaking down-at last! - Legal tools that lawyers / servants had to keep him away from the packed courtroom and more glued to the seat of power, source of the alleged democratic and popular, has less and less.

and on time, after the pronouncement of the Constitutional Court, falls on the Knight the "scandal of scandals" "on charges of extortion and exploitation of child prostitution" . But I sent this: it now speaks whole world and in Italy is the shame and embarrassment from the top of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, which for too long downplayed, has "context", he even turned a blind eye on any clear sign of moral degradation which advanced fouling everything licked ... as slurry. And all this just for that "mess of pottage" represented by promises instrumental hypocritical of "attention to issues of family and ethically sensitive issues." Beyond solidarity pathetic and guilty, but widely discounted, that the Premier has come from his party, hits the deafening silence of the Northern League, of Formigoni and his troops of CL, which represent the time of this praetorian guard satrap absolutely disgraceful, which harmed the dignity of every woman (and that of every man who knows that humanity is one that turns pink, or blue dress and all the colors of the rainbow. To understand why there is no need however to remain silent "crystal balls and gypsy" , there are debts of gratitude to be paid, made up of bank bailouts, subdivisions of seats Lombard and funds in health, etc ...

How did Italy surrender to the last two decades, in the hands of Berlusconi (and "cracks" that from time to time deal for deal, you were around him) is incomprehensible without taking into account, as it had to withdraw from Walter Veltroni, on the occasion of his resignation as secretary of the PD (Corriere della Sera, 19 February 2009) " Berlusconi won a battle for hegemony in society, because he had the means and the ability to twist even the values \u200b\u200bof society itself, building a system of negative values \u200b\u200bagainst which we must fight with courage, even when the wind is lower but knowing that if the sail is positioned in the right direction, sooner or later you get the wind behind it will push forward. " errors, horrors and scandals of Berlusconi, year after year have eroded the myth of the knight, the first in the country and then in Parliament (with the splitting of Fini), creating conditions so that the various opposition began to arise with the problem of determining an historic step to a new phase in our history. Today finally seems that the "wind is behind us" (Veltroni as saying) that is why today I say " is the time of the Democratic Party."

"The wind is behind us," touch here and another node that is melting in recent days. It is not nostalgia for that once again use this expression, Veltroni is not nostalgia for which I have also appreciated and followed with enthusiasm, and I recognize the merit of having shot down by decision of the latest psychological and ideological barriers that prevented the birth of the Democratic Party. but it is to remove negative thoughts from me na, based on what was the initiative of Walter. He is credited with having "made wings and flew a kite in the sky of beautiful policy," colorful "in which everyone could find her, " robust " point to ride the currents and, in combination, "light" to collect also pushed fainter.
Walter gave us a glimpse of those spaces for growth of freedom, democracy, solidarity, hospitality that has long dreamed of this, although today most do not understand the choices, I do not agree with some strong steps, I will not, not I can see in his stances intent of breaking conditions of leaps forward that will bring him off the field ", undermining the very democratic alternative to Berlusconi.

Walter, I now turn directly to you: through the pages of Facebook (notes and comments of many friends) I have read hundreds of invitation to you from your fans Yesterday and today: "is the time of the Democratic Party," "Unity is the time of the Party," "it's time to put into practice what you said to yourself, leaving the Secretary of the Party , slightly less than two years ago (Corriere della Sera, 19 February 2009): "Do not ask with the clock in the hands of those who come after me now to get results," ... because "a large project takes years, as has happened with Mitterand or Lula. " In Germany or Britain, then recalls Veltroni, progressives have lost the local elections and no one has resigned. "We, however, in these years, we changed six or seven leadership, while Berlusconi is still there to win or lose. So who will come after you give me time to work, what I perhaps I have not won on the field. " There is also space for a biblical quotation: "Do unto others as you would not want done to you. In fact, I was done, but I will not. "

Walter Veltroni knows that 'the time of the Democratic Party of his party and can not but be proud, along with all of us (veltroniani, bersaniani, franceschiniani, mariniani, scrap, etc ...) for this the Lingotto2 does not bother me, indeed I consider "the wind back!

Pupil Remain Dilated After Cateract Surgery

The new year has begun ... I start again from Mirafiori!

in tears at the gates of Mirafiori (from the site informazionedalbasso.myblog.yt)

How many of those who read this post, I lived with fear every hour every day since the signing of a Mirafiori until the end of the ballot. I always felt very close to Fiat workers, their families, Fiom and his management team and the Secretary Landini (which I listened with pleasure on Saturday night at "Che tempo che fa") but I could never get ready, for either the SI or the NO, just as the PD. But quest'indecisione not live as a sin, but as an act of deep respect for the workers, their anxieties, their fears, their fears.


My thoughts were all those 5213 people, men and women, employees forced Fiat to a decision absurd, inhuman, "Bread against rights", "soup against the window! I was not interested before and now I do not care to judge how they voted, neither the workers nor the employees (because there is so much desire to divide the people among workers and employees do not understand it), because in the face of blackmail in have been only feel a deep pain. Pain and suffering, for each of those men and those raped women in their dignity as human beings and their rights as employees of the largest factory of the "seventh world power." Pain and suffering, as I try to imagine the talk at the table with their children and wives, fathers or older mothers and a deep sadness comes over me, while a shiver runs down my back makes me feel a miracle not to be one of them I think and I feel ashamed, embarrassed. An embarrassment that prevents me from even thinking, "what I voted, I" do not know. But I think at that rate, in those conditions on that dilemma, he would never have arrived. And I know that now each employee has reason to feel alone anymore. But I feel sorry (not affected) too many politicians, many parties (including PD) I've heard sides, with ostentatious security, for the Yes or No. For Veltroni Vendola, through Chiamparino, Fassino and Renzi. Yes or No? But politicians competed to respond with a Yes or No? competed indicate how to respond, or rather work because the whole story takes place in a framework of rights and better defined with a presence in politics, first and foremost the government, which was not to be a mere spectator?

Si Won, and most likely will be considered a victory for all, and maybe it is, but it is a "half victory", though "full of unknowns." Exactly like the other victories that we are celebrating in these days as the law of the sacrosanct principle that "the law is equal for all", so even for Berlusconi (though the balance in the High Court decision!) as the victory of Bersani in Management, a victory that - thinking Veltroni - could last "seven days", as the space of a "contract notice", and if I think in bed, and even less time.

Even today, as in recent days, as I wrote these same things to two dear friends-my thoughts turn to the Fiat employees who are returning to work after a weekend break. I think about them and see them walk back straight, Marchionne's arrogance at all bent or conceit of politicians who have not spared any advice, but did not lift a finger to defend their rights.

But unlike the days lived with the anxiety of the election, I won my pessimism e. .. helped me do the firm and quiet determination with which the interview Landini said Fazio, in practice for a raise towards a wider horizon: the fight from now on will point to the globalization of rights! Because the whole issue of the weak, the blackmail, the poor of every continent and unity, the union ... that is strength. There will also collapsed ideologies but are never less certain axioms !

Yes, the real fight is for the globalization of rights, not of misery and blackmail, according to the doctrine Marchionne. It helped me to recall the firmness of optimism Bersani Marchionne in asking to put on the table real programs, not just promises, and policy address the problem of representation and union representation at the factory: "The Fiom can not stay out and Marchionne certainly can not expect him to choose even the unions with which to deal. "
