Nurse With a Tiny White Flag.“Usually a large crowbar was enough to open doors of buildings and houses. To open stronger ones we were setting explosives or clusters of three grenades. The heavy, two-winged doors of the Bishop's Palace blew out in two directions. Inside everything was purple. In the dining room food was set on the table. Still warm. We didn't try it, because we were afraid it was poisoned." “It's important to know where to set the explosives. From the side, in the middle. All depends where you want the doors to fly after the explosion and everything must be done as silent as possible because the Poles were standing behind doors listening and shooting. So we sometimes scratched opposing ends of doors to mislead the Poles." “I was setting explosives under big doors, somewhere in Old Town. From inside we heard Nicht schießen! Nicht schießen! (don't shoot). The doors opened and a nurse appeared with a tiny white flag. We went inside with fixed bayonets. A huge hall with beds and mattresses on the floor. Wounded were everywhere. Besides Poles there were also wounded Germans. They begged the SS-men not to kill the Poles. A Polish officer, a doctor and 15 Polish Red Cross nurses surrendered the military hospital to us. The Dirlewangerers were following us. I hid one of the nurses behind the doors and managed to lock them. I heard after the war that she has survived. The SS-men killed all the wounded. They were breaking their heads with rifle butts. The wounded Germans were screaming and crying in despair. After that, the Dirlewangerers ran after the nurses; they were ripping clothes off them. We were driven out for guard duty. We heard women screaming. In the evening, on Adolph Hitler's Square [now Pi?sudzki Square] there was a roar as loud as during boxing fights. So I and my friend climbed the wall to see what was happening there. Soldiers of all units: Wehrmacht, SS, Kaminski's Cossacks [ RONA ], boys from Hitlerjugend; whistles, exhortations. Dirlewanger stood with his men and laughed. The nurses from the hospital were rushed through the square, naked with hands on their heads. Blood ran down their legs. The doctor was dragged behind them with a noose on his neck. He wore a rag, red maybe from blood and a thorn crown on top of the head. All were lead to the gallows where a few bodies were hanging already. When they were hanging one of the nurses, Dirlewanger kicked the bricks she was standing on. I couldn't watch that anymore. We ran to our quarters, but before we reached them we saw Kaminski's Cossacks rushing with civilians. We called those 'Cossacks Hiwis' – from Hilfswillige (volunteers, willing to help). Next to them a Polish pregnant woman fell down. One of the Hiwis turned back and whipped her, she tried to escape on knees, but they killed her running over her with horses.” -- excerpts from Wodzimierz Nowak & Angelika Kuzniak's My Warsaw Madness.
A frequent question people ask is, "What's a good first gun to buy." And without getting all Diff'rent Strokes'ey on you, I can't tell you what the best gun is because what works for me may not work for you. Hand size, finger length, ergonomics, eye and hand dominance all play a part in choosing what handgun is the best match for you. And I think that mindset should carry over into the caliber debate, as well. So a good rule is to carry the largest caliber you can shoot comfortably and confidently. If the 9mm is your sweet spot and you can put your first and follow up shots nice and center mass, then stick with a 9mm and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If after some training can be as accomplished with a larger caliber, you don't have to step up but then at least you've given yourself two options. Down here in FL it's shorts and t-shirt weather all the time and since we don't have open carry yet -- thanks asshole -- I'm limited as to what I can reasonably carry. So fifty weeks out of the year that's usually either a Bersa Thunder .380 or a Smith and Wesson 64. But for those other two weeks where I can wear jeans and a pullover shirt, it's fun to break out the ol Glock 30. But in the end, I'd rather shoot a bad guy once with a .380 than miss him twice with a .45. Also, I'm sure you caught her original gallery too, yes? Naturally, Red Bull's production and global distribution needs energy and thus causes an environmental impact. Whether through increasing implementation of wall-to-wall production or optimisation of its supply chain, Red Bull sets itself ambitious targets to further minimise its environmental impact and energy use. Find out how Red Bull is going to great lengths to ensure its carbon footprint stays as small as possible across the entire lifecycle of the can.

"If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs." - Corinthians 13:4 Quick and easy: name this cartoon character!
