Hindu: has swastika tattoo It's a religious symbol!

The movies doesn't do them justice though
It’s sad for those kamikaze pilots. The officers went to the pilots and asked for volunteers for a mission they would not survive. Obviously none of them wanted to go, but they didn’t really have a choice. If they refused, they’d be sent to some losing front and die in battle anyway. Their entire family would be ostracized from the Japanese community and they’d be labeled cowards and traitors for as long as they were remembered. So all of them volunteered to be kamikaze pilots.
A kamikaze pilot who was shot down and captured before he could crash said this about his comrades as they prepared to take off:
“everyone had the same expression in their eyes. Like a deep sea fish looking up at the sky above. I’ve never seen sadder expressions in anyone’s eyes since then.” -Kenichiro Oonuki

Hopefully the US/UK relationship goes better than theirs did...

I absolutely couldn’t imagine a war between any two of those countries today - it would be way too much like killing your own.
Kampfy chair
Hitler: The Treaty of Versailles took away our comfy chairs; we shall reclaim what is rightfully ours!
Is no one gonna talk about the Elephant in the battlefield?
Two mistakes, actually.
From what I recall, the king actually addressed the letter to Lincoln's predecessor, but it only arrived when Lincoln was already in the office. Also, the king didn't want the elephants to actually take part in the fighting, only in moving supplies.
Also, fun fact, the king's (Rama IV) son, name Rama V, would go on to abolish slavery in Thailand.
Future is now, Elephant!
They stuck a fucking vickers machine gun on an elephant?

There was a war in Korea?
Wait, your schools are teaching about WWII? Mine covers it briefly, if at all.
Edit: I work at a military history museum, and I had to do personal research (a lot) to get a spot there. Everything I know about the subject was obtained from books.
Wasn’t sure if I should put this in history memes

Moments before the disaster
I mean yeah, but not quite. It’s been a while since I’ve read up on this, but I remember Ferrari was financially struggling and was really keen to the idea of ford buying them. The problem came during the actual signing when Enzo read the terms and saw that ford would have full control over everything, most importantly the racing division.
This quickly resulted in classic Italian cursing, ford walks away with nothing. And now we have a movie about it that I meant to watch but never found a good reason to go to the theater for.
Actually was thinking of buying a GP-5 gas mask.
A military grade gas mask typically has NBC protection so it would be much more effective than a simple surgical mask. However rubber definitely gets hot and sweaty fast.
