DoktorLoken posted:Story time? I have no idea what this is from other than having seen the picture a bunch of times. So, back in the 1940s and 50s, the Air Force wanted to know if you could power a bomber with a nuclear reactor, or at least find out what happens when you stuff a nuclear reactor in an airplane. They refitted a B-36 to carry a nuclear reactor aloft and find out what happened. That thing was what the Air Force built to handle and service the reactor and its radioactive components, including loading and unloading radioactive material from the bomber. It's seen handling eggs without cracking them as a way to demonstrate its fine touch and level of precision for that job.

Blind Rasputin posted:Trench warfare must’ve had to be the most godawful thing to ever exist during WWI. How about arctic conditions and Austro-Hungarian leadership and organization. An excerpt from a book I read about the Carpathian front: quote:Readers of this investigation will note the frequent depiction of Habsburg troops as utterly exhausted and increasingly apathetic. At the risk of sounding repetitive, the mental and physical condition of Habsburg troops is critical to understanding the Carpathian Winter War. The exhaustion experienced in combat under winter conditions is incomprehensible to those who have not suffered under such circumstances. Reading the daily log-books of Habsburg units participating in the Carpathian Winter War, one would be hard-pressed to find an entry that did not include the words ganz eschopft ("utterly exhausted"). The men's physical and mental exhaustion was exacerbated by hunger. Food supplies often did not reach the front, and those that did were often frozen solid. The men began to hallucinate about food, driving them to near insanity. In the winter of 1915, not only did Habsburg Supreme Command decide to deploy massive armies into a region unfit for a major combat operation, but also, it did so with no provision for the most basic of necessities - food, clothing, and shelter.

Beats that one time the British government proposed deploying chicken-powered nuclear landmines in Germany.
