May, 1943: Soviet Air Force Bombing raid in Minsk railyard
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Text taken from the V Kontakte age of THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR.

On the night of May 5, 1943, more than a hundred aircraft raided the railway junction of Minsk and the accumulation of troops and equipment, as well as headquarters and warehouses located in the city. Here are some results of this raid received from the partisans: at the railway junction, freight and passenger stations, a locomotive depot, a railway suspension bridge, and a power plant were destroyed. 30 trains with manpower, ammunition and equipment, 20 tanks with fuel, 9 locomotives were destroyed, and an ammunition warehouse was burned. Railway traffic was interrupted for three days.

In the city of Minsk, a building (opera and ballet theater) was destroyed, where the headquarters of the air unit was located and confiscated valuables were stored, barracks in which up to 200 flight personnel were destroyed, buildings where the Germans repaired guns and where 200 to 300 vehicles were destroyed, military barracks , military unit headquarters and warehouses, field commandant's office, two dormitories with Germans, chemical, yeast and bread factories. The machine tool and tannery factories were damaged.

The house of the German field commandant's office, where a banquet was held, of which 158 officers were killed, was destroyed. The power plant, radio station, and buildings of the clinical campus were destroyed. In the villages of Grushevsky and Kominternovsky, buildings housing Germans were destroyed.

Seven anti-aircraft installations were destroyed. Up to 4,000 Germans were killed, including a general and 70 officers. According to the Germans themselves, 2,000 soldiers were killed. The German garrison was evacuated from the city and settled in the villages closest to Minsk. The bombing caused panic among the Germans.

From 180 to 230 aircraft each simultaneously took part in massive raids on the Orsha railway junction.
Orsha is almost 200 kilometers east of Minsk.
Here are partial data on the results of our raid carried out on the night of May 4-5, 1943. At the railway junction, six trains with military equipment were destroyed, and two railway bridges were destroyed. At the central station, four trains with ammunition and military equipment were destroyed. After the bombing, the shells at the station exploded within three days. The tracks leading to the central station were destroyed. Two warehouses with ammunition and one with food were destroyed.
It should be noted that Minsk was a critical rail node for the German Army. Supplies transshipped from these points were used for the buildup to the last major German offensive, code named Case Citadel. In July 1943.
Recovery trains have been sent from Vitebsk to Orsha. In the city, up to 3,000 German soldiers and officers who were in the barracks were destroyed. The central special purpose camp was completely destroyed; up to 4,500 people fled from two prisoner-of-war camps during the bombing. Two prisons were broken, where many Germans were killed, including two generals. The house with the officers, the building of the commandant's office No. 353, the barracks with the policemen were destroyed. The counterintelligence building was smashed, an ammunition depot was blown up, and two anti-aircraft batteries with crews were destroyed.

Europe
German police 'treated us terribly', claims Kurdish man deported from Germany
[Rudaw] Saeed Mohammed Shukri along with nearly 30 other Iraqis, mostly Kurds, were deported to Baghdad on April 24 from Germany on the grounds that Berlin had repeatedly rejected their asylum cases.

Shukri told Rudaw’s Ghareeb Majeed in an interview on Tuesday that the German police treated them "terribly" when deporting them to Iraq.

"Before the deportation, I were tossed into the calaboose for ten days. After ten days, I was forced into a plane and I was sent to Baghdad in Iraq," Shukri sighed.

Germany is a favored destination country for the residents of the Kurdistan Region and Iraq who want to migrate to Europe.

Tens of thousands of Kurds, mostly the young, leave the Kurdistan Region for Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
every year in search of a better life, using smuggling routes introduced by smugglers. A number of these migrants colonists died in freezing temperatures on the Belarus-Poland border and others drowned in the sea, suffering a catastrophic fate in recent years.

It is unclear how many Iraqis have so far been deported from Germany to Iraq in 2024.

Berlin deported more than 500 Iraqi nationals last year, according to official data obtained by Rudaw.

In an interview with Rudaw in August, Gonul Eglence, a member of the regional parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia, said that Iraqi asylum seekers must not be deported to Iraq because it is an unsafe country. She explained that many individuals cannot be deported because they could face political persecution or their lives would be at risk due to their religious beliefs.

"Those people will not be deported. Instead, they receive Duldung. That means they can stay temporarily," Eglence said.


Below is the full transcript of the interview with Saeed Mohammed Shukri:

Saeed Mohammed Shukri: My name is Saeed Mohammed Shukri. I am from Zakho. In 2020, I migrated to Germany. I was there for three and a half to four years. I had my job there. I had a happy life. However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
I was not granted asylum. The German government deported me. I was deported at 7 am by the country's police. Before the deportation, I were tossed into the calaboose for ten days. After ten days, I was forced into a plane and I was sent to Baghdad in Iraq.

Rudaw: When were you deported?

I was deported on April 24. Yes, they deported me to Baghdad. We were stopped at the Baghdad airport for six to seven hours as they were arranging some papers for us. In the end, we were let go. We took a taxi and came back home to Zakho.

Where were you living in Germany? Which city?

I was in Regensburg City, Bayern.

How many others were deported along with you?

Around 25 to 30 other people were deported along with me. Two to three other people were also from Zakho. There were people from Semel town, from Duhok city, Erbil, and Sulaimani. There were people also from Baghdad.

Did you ask why they would deport you?

They said our asylums had been rejected. That is why they deported us.

How did they treat you?

They handcuffed our hands and legs with three coppers escorting us. They treated us terribly. The three coppers were with us in Baghdad.

Did they pay you any amount of money while deporting you?

Before boarding the plane, they gave us each 200 euros, and then we signed a piece of paper for them. This was all.

What was your job in Germany?

Well, I was working at a restaurant. I had a formal job. But in the end, we were deported.

Had you made any problems there to make them deport you? Did you have criminal records?

No. The only reason that pushed them to deport us was that our asylum applications had been rejected. A year ago, I received a warning that I must leave the country, but I refused. All of a sudden [on April 14] at 7 am, they [the police] raided my house and arrested me.

Were you asleep when they did that to you?

Yes, I was asleep. When I opened my eyes, I saw four coppers around me—two of them in casual clothing and the other two wearing police uniforms.

How did the coppers who raided your house treat you? Tell us about what they did to you when they broke into your house.

I was asleep. I opened my eyes and noticed that somebody opened the door of my house. They had a copy of the key. I asked them what was wrong with them. At first, they checked my house. They checked everything inside... In the end, they asked me to pack my belongings and get my bag ready. I did so. I never knew it was to deport me. I never knew that they would deport me in this way.

Were there deported children and women among you?

Yes. A woman who had four children was deported alone.

Where was the woman from? Do you know anything about her?

I think she was from Erbil.

Were there any children at all among you?

No, there were no kids with us.

Only adults?

Yes, young men mostly, as well as a woman and an elderly man.

Do you know how old the elderly man was?

I would say around 60.

What is your message?

My message is that the government should take care of our youth and stop them from migrating to this country [Germany]. All they need at home is a job. This is all I could say.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Antisemitism was higher worldwide in 2023, even before October 7, report states
[Ynet] In the aftermath of the October 7 massacre committed in Israel by Hamas, the world has seen the worst wave of antisemitic incidents since the end of World War II, according to an annual global antisemitism report issued Sunday. But in the nine months of 2023 before October 7 during which there were no major upheavals, most countries with significant Jewish populations saw a rise in the number of antisemitic incidents compared to the same period in 2022, including the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, Brazil, The Netherlands and Mexico.

"This means that the war in Gaza helped spread a fire that was already out of control. And it was already out of control despite the significant efforts invested in recent years by governments on educational and legal initiatives aimed at reversing the trend," according to the Annual Antisemitism Worldwide Report, published by Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which was released on Sunday ahead of Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Yom Hashoah.

What we should teach on Yom Hashoah is what it wasn't the first time (not even the 21st) they tried*. And, most importantly, it's not the last.
*And every time they try and fail - they hate us more.

#1  Yom Hashoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day for us heathens.

Worth taking note of by civilized people because if, some particular "they", they would do it to them, they would to it to you and me if the mood arose. I was kind of hoping us humans had gotten all this monkey-brain stuff sorted in the last century, but such is not the case.

#2  sorted in the last century, but such is not the case.

Not the case indeed. Many are still mindset (if you wish to call it that) back in the 7th century and many more are hellbent on regressing to it.
