Mr Dobrowolski was a Ukrainian who reportedly defected from the Red Army to become the Nazi’s chief informant in the region of Chernihiv.

Ms Metreweli never met her grandfather as he stayed in Nazi-occupied Ukraine while his family fled the Red Army liberation of the region in 1943.

The documents held in Freiburg, Germany describe how Mr Dobrowolski was dubbed ‘Agent 30’ by his Nazi commanders.

Born to a German-Polish father and a Ukrainian mother in 1906, the Daily Mail reports he hated the Soviet Union when his family’s estate was seized after the 1917 revolution.

He joined the Nazis in 1941, and was paid a monthly wage of just 81 Reichsmark, around £250 today, for spying.

In letters to his Nazi officers, he signed off “Heil Hitler” and said he took part in a massacre of Jewish people near Kyiv.

The Daily Mail reported that there are also accounts of him looting the bodies of Holocaust victims and laughing at the sexual assault of female prisoners.

The Soviets put a 50,000-rouble – the equivalent of £200,000 today – bounty on Mr Dobrowolski and labelled him “the worst enemy of the Ukrainian people”.

I remember reading a theory that these swirling symbols are unavoidable in human art because when we observe the stars and follow their movement these are the shapes they make due to the wiggle of the earth's axis. It was in a book from the 1890's so IDK if it was just made up but I like the idea

I hope it's as dumb as exif data on the pictures and they still never figure it out

Most early Christians were converts from Judaism so they were doing circumcision as tradition but the Greeks in particular did not like it and that's where Paul's 'don't worry about it' letter comes in. After Christianity solidified into its own religion there was a move to break from the religion's Jewish roots and carrying on practices from the Old Testament were seen as too Jewish- circumcision was the easiest one to check for when you were got paranoid that there were Crypto-Jews hidden among your population.

As temperatures like this are going to get more common: lining your streets with trees reduces the ambient temperature by ~3 celcius, and cities that only allow rich neighbourhoods to have trees on their streets are participating in collective punishment of the poor

This is just what Israeli defines as a ceasefire- they get to keep shooting and you aren't allowed to shoot back

as an unscrupulous honkey I have to tell you we're actually very truthful!

American lefties and having dogshit foreign policy opinions, name a more iconic duo

This feels a little strange to do in any case, but protecting the entrances to a facility that they claim is evacuated and that the US is claiming they will soon obliterate is weird; why would you need to re-enter it if there's nothing left?

The US was never going to be able to destroy the whole facility, and there was no way literally everything was evacuated so there was always going to be a need to come back at least for salvage.

The allowed strike aspect/off-ramp for Trump reads true to me. But I don't think it was done in the official way that the missile attacks after Solemani's assassination, but in the tit-for-tat way they've been talking about hitting Israel.

Trump knows that war is unpopular but dropping big bombs is popular. Ansarallah's truce with him shows that he's willing to leave the zionists in the lurch if it means the price of commodities at home returns to normal. IMO getting Trump to disengage and claim a win now means the Iranians live to hopefully blast the IDF back into the stone age before a regional peace treaty is pushed by the US and Russia
