  • Peter Ortiz - American Hero of the French Resistance

    Peter Ortiz - American Hero of the French Resistance
    2026/05/11

    Peter Ortiz is almost unknown outside the Marine Corps. Even within the Corps he doesn’t have the recognition he deserves, although his exploits in World War II were almost beyond belief. Already a decorated veteran of the French Foreign Legion and a Hollywood technical advisor, when World War 2 came, he joined the Marines and parachuted into Nazi occupied France. Fighting alongside the Maquis of the French Resistance, he became a huge thorn in the side of Hitler’s armies, and one of the most hunted men in occupied Europe. #militaryhistory #war #historynerd #worldwar2 #america #ww2

  • The Invasion of Panama - Nabbing Noreiga

    The Invasion of Panama - Nabbing Noreiga
    2026/04/26
    A South American country is being ruled by a despised dictator, dabbling in Voodoo and allied to Cocaine Cartels, until America launches a daring operation to remove him. Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro? No, it’s Panama’s Manuel Noriega! Noriega was very much a creation of the US and its Cold War struggle with the Soviet Union. A brutal thug, he had been supported by the CIA as a useful asset against Communism. But now he had turned on his former masters. Cocaine was flooding into the US through Panama, their civilians and soldiers were being threatened and harassed, while he did deal with America’s enemies. A reckoning was now coming for the sins of the past. #history #militaryhistory #america #Panama

    Operation Countenance - The Invasion of Iran in WW2
    2026/03/23
    During World War 2 Iran was invaded by Britain and the Soviet Union, an act that is often covered in just a sentence or two in most histories of the war. Yet it would arguably be the turning point of Iran’s modern history, setting up the domino's for the Iranian Revolution, the fall of the Shah and the rise of an aggressive theocracy. #war #history #militaryhistory #iran #worldwar2

  • The Nuku Hiva Campaign - Adventures on Cannibal Island

    The Nuku Hiva Campaign - Adventures on Cannibal Island
    2026/03/09
    On the morning of Oct. 25, 1813, the inhabitants of the Pacific island of Nuku Hiva awoke to a startling sight, a fleet of strange ships sailed across the cobalt blue sea and landed at their island. It was an American fleet, trying to escape the British during the war of 1812. So began the most bizarre US military campaign in history, a riproaring yarn involving fights with cannibals, mutinying sailors and a soon to be scandalous amount of fornication with local women. #war #militaryhistory #history #america
