It is one of two known incidents during the war in which Americans and Germans of the Wehrmacht fought side by side against the Waffen-SS, the other being the Battle of Castle Itter. "And then the Germans and Americans teamed up to save the pretty horsies from the Soviets and SS..." Mitsuo Fuchida Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mitsuo Fuchida ( Fuchida Mitsuo, 3 December 1902 - 30 May 1976) was a Japanese captain[¹] in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service and a bomber observer in the Imperial Japanese Navy before and during World War II. He is perhaps best known for leading the first wave of air attacks on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Working under the overall fleet commander, Vice Admiral Chūichi Nagumo, Fuchida was responsible for the coordination of the entire aerial attack. After the war ended, Fuchida became a Christian convert and evangelist, traveling across the United States and Europe to tell his story. He later settled in the U.S. (although never taking American citizenship for himself).

"And then the lead Pearl Harbor pilot found Jesus and became a missionary..." Haitian Revolution Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Haitian Revolution (French: révolution haïtienne or French: La guerre de l'indépendance French pronunciation: [Bevolysjɔ̃ a.i.sjɛn]; Haitian Creole: Lagè d Lendependans) was a successful insurrection by self-liberated slaves against French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue, now the sovereign state of Haiti. The revolt began on 22 August 1791, [2] and ended in 1804 with the former colony's independence. It involved black, biracial, French, Spanish, British, and Polish participants—with the ex- slave Toussaint Louverture emerging as Haiti's most prominent general. The revolution was the only slave uprising that led to the founding of a state which was both free from slavery (though not from forced labour)[³] and ruled by non-whites and former captives. [4] The successful revolution was a defining moment in the history of the Atlantic World [5][6] and the revolution's effects on the institution of slavery were felt throughout the Americas. The end of French rule and the abolition of slavery in the former colony was followed by a successful defense of the freedoms the former slaves had won, and with the collaboration of already free people of color, of their independence from white Europeans.[7][8][⁹] "And then all the slaves successfully killed all of their masters and defeated one of the strongest European powers..."
