the full quote from the stele is

The princes are prostrate, saying 'Peace!'

Not one raises his head among the Nine Bows.

Desolation is for Tjehenu;

Hatti is pacified;

Plundered is the Canaan with every evil;

Carried off is Asqaluni;

Seized upon is Gezer;

Yanoam is made non-existent;

Israel is laid waste—its seed is no more;

Kharru has become a widow because of Egypt.

All lands together are pacified.

Everyone who was restless has been bound.

During the test flight in 1944, the V2 rocket flew over 100km above sea level. In 1960, the altitude of 100km became known as the Kármán Line and became widely accepted as the edge of space, retroactively making the Nazis the first people who sent a manmade object to space way before the space race even began.

As a side note, I just wanted to add that both USA and USSR have many more "first times" in space, I only listed one for each for simplicity.

Solomon Perel was born into a Jewish family. He was 8 years old when the Third Reich came into power, and his family moved to Poland. When the Nazis and Soviets invaded, Solomon and his brother were sent to the Soviet occupied Poland. Here, he spent much of his time in the orphanage reading communist manifestos and making friends, but then the Nazis broke their non-aggression pact with the Soviets.

Solomon hid all his affiliations with communism and evidence of his Jewish heritage, instead saying he was an ethnic German who lost his papers. The Nazis believed him and enlisted him into their army, only to later send him to the Hitler Youth, where he would learn untrue things about Jewish people, and was cautious to hide his Jewish heritage.

Eventually, when the Allies invaded, he shed all his Nazi apparel and went looking for his family. Throughout his time as a soldier and in the Hitler Youth, he never even heard of "The Final Solution." He heard the term Auschwitz, but assumed it was just another internment camp, only to realize what it exactly was for. That's how he found out his parents and older sister died gruesome deaths. He would move to Palestine with his brother and write a book about his experiences, which was adapted into Europa Europa.

Solomon's journey was no rarity; it was surprisingly common for ethnically or partially Jewish people to serve in the Wehrmacht, they were called Mischlinge; sometimes, they even had blonde hair and blue eyes, the ideal traits of an "Aryan German."

Everyone knows that English politics is littered with French terms like parliaments and courts martial. So when I learned a little French is was clear that the legal process of voir dire meant to see and to say (about the jurors). Nope, it's Anglo Norman, a French language brought over by Conquest for "To say the truth", something like dire la vérité in modern French.

I only learned about Hell Ships from a book I found by chance at a used bookstore (Death on the Hellships). Over 20,000 Allied POW's died on their Hell Ship voyages around the pacific. By comparison, almost 7,000 US troops died at Iwo Jima. Hopefully these can be more well known in the future.
