The most successful #submarine of #WWII, USS Tang (SS 306), was struck and sunk #OTD in 1944 by a circular run of her last torpedo.
Despite serving only a year, Tang set the record for most ships (33) and greatest tonnage (116,454) sunk among all @USNavy subs during the war.

#MostWantedArtworks: Unlike many looted paintings from #WWII, this work, ‘Couple in a Room’ by Ernst L. Kirchner, is hanging in the @KunsthalleHH, on loan by an unidentified owner. The painting was left by Max Fischer in his apartment in 1935 as he fled from Nazi persecution.
#peterfeliciaweek Nearly forgot to post this for Noir day! Noir movies are a fondness of mine & even tho they are mostly set post WWII, they were still the refs I used for lighting while looking at 30s fashion. @peterfelweek
What do you where do you want the next women-centric Elseworld?
We've had WWII, a Neo-Anime style and Mad Max-Esque dystopia. I vote Pirates next
New OC, Dachen Ellet! He's from Burma (now Myanmar). He took on the last name "Ellet" when he came to the US because Burmese people generally don't have surnames. He's a veteran of the Burma Campaign during WWII, where he fought alongside the British against the Japanese.

la tripulacion de un navio militar japones moderno es inesperadamente enviada al pasado, justo en medio de la WWII, y ahora deben buscar la forma de volver a su tiempo a la vez que evitan (sin existo) hacer algo que pueda cambiar la historia
After a long closure for WWII, the ROH roared back to life with a sublime production of The Sleeping Beauty. Supplies were so scarce after the war that designer Oliver Messel made do with paper doilies for lace cuffs! Dame Margot Fonteyn danced the role of Aurora on opening night
Check out my review of White Bird by @RJPalacio & from @KnopfBFYR here: https://t.co/R8HShis5nm. It's a powerful, moving tale about the holocaust set in WWII, and its themes resonate today. It won the Book of the Year honor in the 2020 @EGLAwards from @PopClassroom.
hbd #JosephineBaker! Iconic performer, dancer, member of the French Resistance in WWII, & civil rights activist... illo drawn for ‘Razzmatazz’ — a children's book about the #HarlemRenaissance by #Atlanta #author #ZarleWilliams :) #illustration #childrensbook #jazz
The fabulous Josephine Baker was born on this day in 1906. Singer, dancer, agent during WWII, civil rights activist. I started a screenplay partially about her life, but didn't finish it.
One for @westonfront and those intrigued by “Daimajin.”
“Frankenstein conquers the world.”
During WWII, a monstrous heart is taken from Frankenstein’s lab by Nazis and sent via U-boat to a Japanese lab, where it gets exposed to the radiation of the bombing of Hiroshima.
I don’t know much about what my dad did as a soldier in WWII, he didn’t really talk about his experiences. I know he lied about his age when he enlisted. This picture is based on one of the few photos we have of him in uniform which I think must have been taken at that time.
@mallorygrigg Hi Mallory! I've done several non-fiction books dealing with subjects such as WWII, the Civil Rights era, and the Great Depression. My portfolio is at https://t.co/9wK7qgNTc2
Thanks!

Post-WWII, European governments implemented the welfare state via nationalised services, hospitals & insurances, increasing life expectancy.

#NATO, the most murderous alliance since #WWII, the gang of imperialists who have slaughtered hundreds of thousands people across the world, is allegedly a candidate for the 2020 #NobelPeacePrize. Are you kidding us @NobelPrize?
For Christian Boltanski, who lost many loved ones during WWII, reflection on the phenomenon of time has not only an intellectual, but also an emotional dimension https://t.co/Vr92oCEcyg
