Games, like other art forms (films, photos, and paintings), can be a way to honor major historical events. World of Warships (Wargaming) was included in last week's USA Today feature commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The game and a new documentary co-produced with Force Blue, "Frog Fathers: Lessons from the Normandy Surf" are accessible, engaging ways to observe D-Day. https://lnkd.in/gPyFthBu

Most of the evidence of Hamas atrocities against Israel on October 7th and thereafter come from Hamas and Hamas-aligned photographers, although some of the atrocities filmed came from the cameras of the hostages themselves which Hamas used to send the photos and videos of rape, decapitation, and execution to the families of the victims. The IDF has also photographed scenes on the ground and from the air of our operations in Gaza, and shown them publicly. Why doesn't Hamas or any Gazan have photographic evidence to support their claim of genocide on our part? During WWII, in Germany, there was a large amount of photographic evidence of German genocide against Jews. The German photo below shows what photographic evidence of genocide looks like. Where is the Hamas or Gazan photographic evidence? The short answer is that there is none.

This is a very interesting "photography" of the fight in #Avdiivka. This #CenterForInformationResilience's report is really enlightening. Good combination of #GEOINT and #OSINT. People call this a "#stalemate" but as far as chess goes, a stalemate ends the game immediately with a draw. Whatever it will be, this is not what "a draw" or "a stalemate" it looks like, and Avdiivka's fight is all but a "stalemate". https://lnkd.in/eAPVPDx4

**The Night Watch** Picture this: the chaotic anticipation in the air as a militia group awaits instructions from their General, captured with compositional mastery in Rembrandt's timeless masterpiece, 'The Night Watch.' It's a painting that has always held a special place in my heart, a masterpiece in the annals of art history. As I delved into the realm of creative ideation, a daring concept took root in my mind – to showcase the Zulus on the international stage. I yearned for something extraordinary, a project pulsating with artistic strength and originality. The parallels between the bygone Dutch militia and the contemporary Zulus were too captivating to ignore. Thus, the audacious decision was made to recreate 'The Night Watch' with the Zulu warriors. In the heart of Zululand, much like Rembrandt's militia, they protect their land under the leadership of their King and Commander. Setting the stage for this ambitious venture, a crucial aspect was ensuring authenticity. I tasked my team with the challenge of locating and onboarding genuine, practicing Zulu warriors – individuals whose cultural presence is as formidable as their warrior spirit. Kwa-Zulu Natal teems with 'cultural Zulus,' but I sought the kind of warriors whose authenticity you wouldn't want to accidentally offend. Telling a compelling story through photography hinges on a trifecta of elements: authentic subjects, true-to-narrative locations, and an overarching authenticity that withstands the test of time. Phakela, my main subject, embodies all these qualities. Getting to know him was an honor; he's not just a warrior but an inspirational leader, a torchbearer of cultural values passed down by his forefathers. An exemplar and role model for the young Zulus who look up to him. A heartfelt appreciation extends to my on-the-ground team and the 26 Zulu warriors who embraced this endeavor with unwavering determination. Weathering the challenges posed by the elements, they showed up, not just as subjects, but as troopers eager and enthusiastic. Without their commitment, this bold vision could never have materialized. Here's to rewriting narratives, honoring cultures, and capturing moments that transcend time – all under the watchful gaze of 'The Night Watch' reborn.

New campaign identity anchors design Once we hit on the campaign name, we wanted to make it stand out with a logo mark that the new USS Constitution Museum campaign could own. Our approach delivered: infusing the Charting a Bold Course theme with visual heft that says new, nautical, and historic in a single symbol. To do it, we pushed our strong typeface even further and transformed the letter ‘A’ in “Charting” into a modern, stylized nautical divider. Now the ancient tool for navigation at sea stands for the Museum’s experience, imagination, and leadership as it evolves into a national landmark. The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement.

Fought during World War I, between July-November 1916, the Battle of the Somme was the first major offensive by the British on the Western Front and a turning point in the war. This infamous battle became one of the deadliest and costliest conflicts in history, with more than 3 million soldiers involved, resulting in more than 1 million killed or wounded. The Battle of the Somme was launched to expel German forces from the region, strategically timed and located to relieve the intense pressure on Verdun, where French troops were enduring a punishing German attack. It was the first time tanks were used in warfare. The Battle of the Somme had a profound impact on the British psyche due to the heavy casualties. The first day was bloody for the British, with more than 57,000 casualties, including 19,000 killed. Criticism was directed at British officers, particularly Field Marshal Douglas Haig, for persisting in the offensive despite devastating losses. Many British soldiers, volunteering in 1914 and 1915, experienced combat for the first time at the Somme. Various units, including Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Indians, West Indies, and American forces attached to British armies, participated. Battalions, composed of friends and neighbors from the same community, were common. Despite the high costs, the Allied victory at the Somme inflicted significant damage on German positions, prompting a strategic German retreat to the Hindenburg Line in March 1917. While the exact figures are debated, German losses likely exceeded Britain’s, totaling around 450,000 compared to 420,000 on the British side. Americans who fought in this battle are buried at the Somme American Cemetery in France. https://lnkd.in/ezj7_dzC
