Interesting story Ortiz’s War: The Allies' Secret Weapon Against the Nazis in France  Ortiz’s War: The Allies' Secret Weapon Against the Nazis in France Peter J. Ortiz’s path to becoming the most battle-decorated member of America’s first spy agency and one of the most decorated Marines of World War II was unlike any other. Born in New York and raised between California and France, he would have stints as a merchant seaman, dude ranch manager, race car driver, lion tamer, circus performer, and Hollywood stuntman and actor. As a teenager, Ortiz ran away from boarding school in France to join the French Foreign Legion. He first experienced combat in North Africa against tribesmen in the Sahara. Fighting on the front lines against the Germans in 1940, he was badly wounded and captured. He repeatedly escaped, one time fleeing a hospital train after assuming the identity of a dead soldier. Docking in the US the day after Pearl Harbor, Ortiz enlisted in the Marine Corps. As someone who could speak French like a native--and get by in Arabic, German, and Spanish, the dashing former Legionnaire immediately stood out. Instead of being deployed to the Pacific like the majority of Marines, Ortiz was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) - America’s World War II forerunner to the Central Intelligence Agency for special operations in North Africa and Europe. In 1944, Ortiz parachuted into France on two top-secret inter-Allied missions. Operating deep behind enemy lines, he traveled throughout Southeastern France—at times donning his Marine uniform—arming and training the Maquis, blowing up Nazi infrastructure, and aiding downed Allied airmen. Rotating his many covers, including as a fashion designer and minor Vichy government official—he infiltrated Nazi gatherings and funneled intelligence about German positions back to OSS London ahead of D-Day. By the time he escaped across the Pyrenees, he was among the Gestapo’s most wanted. Two months after the Normandy landings, Ortiz jumped back into the French Alps, this time with a team of Americans he recruited for “Le Grand Parachutage,” a drop that sent more than 150 tons of supplies raining down to the Maquis to fight the Axis. When his six-man patrol was surrounded by more than one hundred Germans at the village of Centron, Ortiz faced a choice: fight the enemy or save the village from Nazi annihilation. A rare Marine in the European Theater, he received two Navy Crosses. Ortiz’s story—an untold corner of World War II history—is one of extraordinary courage, resistance, and self-sacrifice. |

Never knew of ferries for railroad cars. That channel has a lot of stuff on railroads if you are interested in that stuff. Railroad on Water: The Legend of the SS Badger  Railroad on Water: The Legend of the SS Badger For nearly a century, carferries played a vital role in connecting the railroads along the shores of Lake Michigan. By carrying freight over water, these unique vessels allowed railroads to bypass the congestion of Chicago while providing an important link between industries and rail networks on both sides of the lake. Railroad on Water: The Story of the S.S. Badger is a feature-length documentary from Delay In Block Productions exploring the history of Great Lakes railroad carferries and the remarkable story of the S.S. Badger—the last surviving vessel of its kind. Launched in September 1952 by the Christy Corporation in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, the Badger entered service in March 1953 carrying up to 34 railroad cars across Lake Michigan for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. She later served the Chessie System and CSX Transportation before Michigan-Wisconsin Transportation (MWT) took over operations in 1983. The Badger continued hauling railroad cars until November 1990, when declining rail traffic and rising labor costs brought an end to railroad carferry service on Lake Michigan. But the story of the Badger was far from over. In 1991, West Michigan businessman Charles Conrad—who had worked aboard the carferries as a young man—purchased MWT's remaining assets, including the three surviving C&O carferries. Conrad transformed the Badger into an automobile ferry, and in 1992, she began a new chapter carrying passengers, automobiles, trucks, and equipment between Ludington, Michigan, and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Today, she remains one of the largest and continues to sail Lake Michigan as a passenger and vehicle ferry—and remains the last coal-fired steamship in active service in the United States. Featuring rare archival photographs and film, previously unseen footage from the Badger's construction, and interviews with historians, former crew members, and others connected to the vessel, Railroad on Water tells the story of an extraordinary ship and the railroad carferry era she represents. From the rise of railroad carferries in the late 19th century to the final days of rail service in 1990, and from the Badger's beginnings as a railroad vessel to her remarkable second life as a passenger ferry, this is the story of the S.S. Badger and the railroad on water. |

Discussion on a WW2 TNT plant around St Louis. Do Our Part: The Tragic Tale of Weldon Spring Ordnance Works  Do Our Part: The Tragic Tale of Weldon Spring Ordnance Works The tragic story of the building of one of the world’s largest TNT plants starting in 1940. The U.S. government set about acquiring 18,000 acres of land in just a few months to build the plant. There were 746 people displaced from the area, which included the elimination of the villages of Hamburg, Howell and Toonerville. The area being St. Charles County, which is just across the Missouri River from St. Louis County in Missouri. The quartermaster corps hired a land optioner from KC that secured nearly all the land deals, but the cost came in significantly higher than the original estimates. A senator, vehemently anti-war, got involved and claimed corruption. They never found corruption but the army fired the colonel in charge of land acquisition and brought in a lawyer. He started condemnation proceedings against the land owners, paying them 30-40% of the contracts they signed with the government agent. This left half the residents in an awful state which the others having been paid already. The people revolted and filed suit in federal court. The government played some shenanigans in the court cases, losing at the district court, winning at the appellate court and losing at the U.S. Supreme Court, with the decision coming out in 1945. The people got paid their money but some land owners had died, and many struggled since they lost so much. We also cover the building of the plant. At one point they had 8000 workers building it, and 5000 working at it. we look at how the plant operated with all the moving parts of making TNT and DNT. We also track the impact of the plant, which had TNT in Iowa class battleship shells. There was a series of horrific accidents as the plant started operating. Finally we cover the lives of the workers, some of which lived in temporary camps. |

Discussion on Sir George Lea The Soldiers' General: Sir George Lea  The Soldiers' General: Sir George Lea Educated at Charterhouse School and Sandhurst, George Lea was commissioned into the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1933. In WW2 he served in the 4th Parachute Brigade and then was commanding officer of 11th Battalion, Parachute Regiment. He led this unit into Arnhem in Operation Market Garden but became a prisoner of war. Postwar Lea played a significant role in the Malayan Emergency in the mid 1950s when commanding 22 Special Air Service Regiment and then in the Indonesian Confrontation in the mid 1960s as Director of Operations. He was very much a “soldiers' general” who, through his fantastic people skills, and leadership qualities could always bring the best out of those around him. |

Since the 90s, placement and routing have been fully automated, but take days for a simple to medium design on 2 lays. Now, with 12 layer boards, rules for current surge voltage drop limits 9copper temp rise limits), Radio Frequency interference (in and out) and make everything on a modern motherboard fit on an ATX motherboard of today (half the size of y2k motherboards with only 6 more layers), A placement map for where 50x the components get added to solder paste prepped pad (after drilling for through hole and vida) and with a lot more restrictions on where vias can go and the chipset needs to be abet o do 100% self diagnostic on every power up so the PC Board company doesn't half to worry about it... And then there's a bunch of stuff that is difficult I left out. The problem is PC Board routing is a mailbox/shopping list program - NP Hard. Meaning brute force, and some rules help it go faster, like "Memory to CPU Bus cannot be over 2.5" trace length and similar limits for power for the CPU, making majority of components pretty much forced into a tiny movement, and the rest are settled by components that d not have through hole components (Large capacitors) make it easier. The hard part is keeping the power planes clean without voltage drops or heat rising when running 100 Amps to the CPU and memory area While emitting practically 0 RF and not being glitched by a high power RF pulse (well, within reason, like electric motor starting up nearby, not an Actual EMP). half the sizing of motherboards going dawn has been component size/type and layout, Remaining improvement automatic electric and magnetic field monitoring and the final part just having these gains inside the ICs themselves so more stuff happens per little black box. I Wholeheartedly using a Wal-Mart supersized building full of server racks just to make the next motherboard as bug free as it can be, and still cost under $200, heck, even under $100 in some cases. |
