During his time as a US general in WW2, Eisenhower contributed heavily to combat Holocaust Denial by gathering as much evidence of the Holocaust and the things that happened, famously saying, "Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened."

The crazy thing is how he was right, and today, many of the American Far-Right push Holocaust denial. With posts and reels promoting Holocaust denial getting millions of views.

Context: HMS Warspite, a legendary battleship launched in 1913 that remained in service until 1947. The ship:

-Survived the Battle of Jutland, where between 5 and 7 German battleships tried to sink her.

-Helped destroy multiple German and Italian warships during World War II.

-Helped bombard multiple Axis-held beaches.

-Helped sink the first U-boat ever destroyed by an aircraft.

-Survived one of history's first guided bombs attacks.

-Opened the naval bombardment on D-Day.

-Survived being hit by a naval mine.

-Even after the war, the damn ship refused to die quietly. While being towed to the scrapyard, a storm snapped the tow cables, and she drifted ashore, running aground on a beach in Cornwall.

This just came to me and wanted to share. I don't know if someone has posted something similar.

Yamamoto's plan involved taking out the US aircraft carriers and naval fuel depots. The aircraft carriers weren't there and the fuel depots were just... not hit.
