A Republican Florida state representative has filed a bill that would require all the colleges and universities in the state to rename specific roads in the hearts of their campuses after Charlie Kirk -- under the threat of withholding state funding if they do not comply.
The US Coast Guard has a handsome sailing ship named the Eagle, which often makes diplomatic visits to ports and is sometimes open the public. It was built in Germany in the 1930s and seized by the US at the end of the war (the Soviets got another one). Due to nautical superstition, its wheel still bears its original name, inscribed in fraktur lettering on brass: the Horst Wessel.
Probably the only real relevance of Wessel outside of as a prime example of propaganda based martyrdom. It’s kinda funny, the crew of the eagle probably are more aware of Wessel than the average Berliner during the Endsieg.
Also I find it funny that the Nazis so called final victory is now used to describe their final downfall, probably helps that endsieg sounds like end siege in English.
The informational placards put out when the ship is open to visitors identify Wessel as being of “the German Socialist party”, so I’m not sure how well the crew are informed.
They uh forgot a word. That aside it’s entirely possible that’s a propaganda element from on high, really depends on who is having the placard made. Regardless I wish to fuse their jaw bone to their skull.
