From a historical perspective, the narrative that DT has been pushing along with the narrative that THF pushes is inherently Anti-American. It’s just crazy to me that there are people who are trying so desperately to say that it’s the opposite.

Did you know? 🐱 During WW1, British soldier George Ashurst found a stray kitten in the muddy trenches of Flanders. Naming her “Tiddles,” he and his fellow soldiers cared for her, and she became their trench mascot—bringing comfort and warmth amidst the chaos of war. #WW1 #History

War Historians, what is your favorite fact about the war you study? I’ll start, Cher Ami was a Carrier Pigeon for the US Army in WW1 that saved 194 lives during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive by delivering a single message while under heavy fire losing a leg and eye in the process.

Did you know? During World War 1 The Ottoman Empire committed one of the worst genocides known to the world at that time? They had slaughtered well over 2 million Armenians due to The Ottomans believing the Armenians were helping their enemies. To this day Turkey disputes the death toll.

Did you know? 🛡️ In 1917, British soldier Henry Tandey reportedly spared a wounded German soldier’s life during a battle in France. That soldier was Adolf Hitler. Tandey later became the most decorated private in WW1, unknowingly letting a future dictator live. #WW1 #History

Did you know? 🌺 During the 1915 Second Battle of Ypres, Lt. Col. John McCrae, author of “In Flanders Fields,” worked as a surgeon under constant fire, treating soldiers amidst the first-ever chlorine gas attack. Exhausted and grieving a fallen friend, he penned his famous poem near the front lines.
