Millennials lack basic knowledge of WWII with nearly half of 18-34-year-olds not knowing Britain fought for the Allies and more than one in 10 thinking the 'Miracle of Dunkirk' refers to when the Nazis surrendered, researchers claim. As Dunkirk celebrates its 83rd anniversary this week, a new study claims millennials are the most useless when it comes to knowledge of a conflict that killed or injured an estimated 35 to 60 million people globally. Remarkably, 4% of millennials believe the first nuclear weapon was used on Berlin – and 3% think it was dropped on Chernobyl, Ukraine. While nearly two-thirds of millennials (61%) claim to have good knowledge about the Second World War, 41% did not know that the UK fought on the side of the Allies.

Understandable. How could they have won the war yet lost their empire and fell behind Germany in post war economics?

Real history is the true telling of past events.
Truth is an anathema to the newswhores.

But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha

The reason George Patton was killed is because he found out they allowed Hitler to escape in exchange for German engineering and technology.
This was known as Operation Paperclip, and it brought people like Wernher von Braun to the U.S. His project for the Atlas V rocket is the main reason we landed men on the moon. The Atlas V was five V-2s strapped together.
JFK was well briefed when he said, "We choose to go to the Moon." ;)

And the criminal elite are still suppressing technology and science.
Just based on my own reading and inferences therefrom we have likely had fusion reactors since at least the 1960's.
Silicon chip tech was "seeded" into technology in the early to mid 1950's.
The super spy plane SR-71 was operational by 1958 - Mach 4 +.
The ongoing estimates are that we have operational technology, including the secret space program, at least 20 to 50 years ahead of anything the elites will allow us to have.
Every breakthrough in small scale power generation has been suppressed since the 1960's.

And the main reason Tetraethyl Lead was used as an octane booster in gasoline is because you could make alcohol in your back yard. ;)
