The Faces of War wrote that Kassel was attacked on October 22, 1943, by 560 British planes. Initially, explosives were dropped, and then in a second wave, more than 400,000 incendiary bombs were dropped, which set the old town on fire. Seven days later, the city was still burning; 97 percent of the old town was destroyed. The account mentioned an estimated number of 7,000 to 10,000 civilian deaths and stated that the photo shows Kassel before the war. #NieWiederKrieg #WirVergessenNicht #Kassel #Geschichte #NieWiederKrieg (translated)

The account "Faces of the War" wrote that officers involved in the coup attempt of July 20, 1944, had been excluded from the Wehrmacht so that they would appear before the People's Court and not in uniform before a military tribunal. Civilians were also deliberately presented without ties; Helmuth James von Moltke found this degrading. Priests were prohibited from wearing collars. This was intended to strip the defendants of their dignity and professional as well as personal identity. The picture shows Colonel Georg Schulze-Büttger, a close confidant of Henning von Tresckow. He was sentenced to death on October 13, 1944, and hanged on the same day in Plötzensee. A few days earlier, he had turned 40 years old. #NieWiederKrieg #WirVergessenNicht #NieWiederKrieg #WirVergessenNicht #Geschichte (translated)

Ahmad Mansour wrote that Berlin shows a loss of the social compass. Three years after October 7, which he described as the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, only a few hundred people had gathered at Bebelplatz – in a city with nearly four million residents. He reminded that books were burned there in 1933. Mansour criticized that the promise of "Never again" had become a ritual while the memory fades. At the same time, there are negotiations to bring people to power who have made Berlin unsafe for Jews, he wrote, calling this indifference. A society measures itself by who stands alongside Jews on such an evening – and who is missing, he added. #7Oktober #NieWieder #Gedenken #Berlin (translated)

This must always and everywhere be opposed. #NieWieder #Antisemitismus #Solidarität (translated)

Die zwei Gesichter des Gottfried Ornetsmüller. Im Sommer 1939, wenige Monate vor Kriegsbeginn, wurde er in Linz zum Priester geweiht; im April 1940 wurde er zum Sanitätsdienst der Wehrmacht einberufen. Während er an der Front einen schwerverwundeten Soldaten betreute, wurde er selbst getroffen und starb am 26. September 1941 bei Kiew. Er war 27 Jahre alt.
