#1 My attempt to embed video didn't work, but click through and watch. It's pictures of German emissaries, one supposes military from the uniform, at the May Day parade. Fascinating.

I think those are armored cars in the parade and not Daleks, but I'm not sure.

#3 My attempt to embed video didn't work,

You did nothing wrong, Snowy Thing. Sometimes it just needs a moderator to open and then close the post without making any changes — as proved to be in this case.So I did, and now it works. :-) Thank goodness Fred and badanov understand Rantburg’s code, as to me it is entirely a black box.

#4 "A commission set up by the West German government found that 3,060,000 German military personnel were taken prisoner by the USSR and that 1,094,250 died in captivity (549,360 from 1941 to April 1945; 542,911 from May 1945 to June 1950 and 1,979 from July 1950 to 1955).[4] According to German historian Rüdiger Overmans ca. 3,000,000 POWs were taken by the USSR; he put the "maximum" number of German POW deaths in Soviet hands at 1.0 million.[5] Based on his research, Overmans believes that the deaths of 363,000 POWs in Soviet captivity can be confirmed by the files of Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt), and additionally maintains that "It seems entirely plausible, while not provable, that 700,000 German military personnel listed as missing actually died in Soviet custody."[6][5]
