#England #WW2

On this day, 72 years ago, this photo captured the moment a building in Queen Victoria Street, EC4, collapsed after incendiary bombs gutted the structure during the last night of The Blitz #wwii #Blitz #worldwar2 #ww2 #worldwarii

An #English soldier of #WW2 offers his dismay at the world in which he "𝓷𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓵𝔂 𝓼𝓪𝓬𝓻𝓲𝓯𝓲𝓬𝓮𝓭 𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓮 𝓯𝓸𝓻".

Throughout my youth I noticed the elderly, (the children of #WW2) produced some of the healthiest & hardest working people with no signs of obesity. The degree in which we've downgraded as a society is living evidence that those in power have always wished us incredible harm.

Few fathom how many great people & households we lost during huge wars. The middle classes who served as officers during #WW1/#WW2 would have been Oxford graduate poets, inventors & so on. Instead they died in their millions, leaving their property & legacy, free for the taking.

The price of "desertion" during #WW1/#WW2, was death. If you refused to risk a brutal death or commit a grizzly murder against you're own Europen cousins, you'd be killed, by your own state. Next remembrance day, ask yourself what we gained from a century of forced annihilation.
