Building Hitler's Supergun: The Plot To Destroy London And Why It Failed [Video-Clips Included]

Hugh Hunt, University of Cambridge

The V-3 “supergun” was meant to win the war for Germany. In 1943, for the first time since World War II began, Hitler was on the back foot. Allied bombs were devastating German cities and the Fuhrer was rattled. His proposed V-3 cannon would be the biggest gun the world had seen.

The V-3 was built in a truly enormous bunker buried deep in a chalk hill in northern France. Millions of tonnes of rock were excavated by hand and among the workers were hundreds of slave labourers. In its original conception, 25 barrels were to point at London – about 100 miles away – delivering up to one bomb per minute and to create an environment of fear that would turn the course of the war back in Hitler’s favour. And it was a doomed secret “drone” mission to destroy the V-3 that led to the death of Joe Kennedy Junior, a pilot and older brother of the future US president, John F. Kennedy.

Daily Mail Reverts To Type As Media Makes Sense Of Paris Atrocities

John Jewell, Cardiff University

You can trust the Daily Mail to lead the race to the bottom and its coverage of the Paris terror attacks was no different.

#ParisAttacks - WTF? Czech President Speaks At Anti-Islam Rally

The following is the email I've received today from Nick Lowles (Hope Not Hate) regarding the presence (and speech) of the Czech Republic's President at an anti-Muslim rally only a few days after the horrific terrorist attacks in Paris happened.

I'm sharing it here because it shows that the Far Right and its supporters are so blinded by their own xenophobia/racism that they are actually freely giving the Daesh (ISIS) terrorists exactly what they want... 

Who needs enemies when you have people like Miloš Zeman and Stephen Lennon/Tommy Robinson on your "side"?

Stay safe...

#ParisAttacks - The World Stands As One

"The attacks in Paris and Beirut were designed to shake the very foundations of all our societies. They are an assault on our sense of connection and shared humanity, our tolerance, liberty and respect. Let’s project a beacon of light and togetherness back to the cities in shock and mourning."
