Following his abdication in 1918, Kaiser Wilhelm II moved to the Netherlands. He died there, at his estate Huis Doorn, in June 1941 whilst the Netherlands was under German occupation. He gave express instructions that his funeral was not to include Nazi symbolism, as he had been a vocal critic of Hitler and particularly his anti-semitic policies. But, the Nazis ignored the Kaiser's wishes and he was given a funeral containing a lot of NSDAP symbolism. It was a final insult from Hitler, who despised the Kaiser and all he stood for.

In 1948, Israel was on the brink of achieving independence from Britain, but needed weapons as surrounding nations sought to destroy the new country. Incredibly, Israel resorted to secretly purchasing ex-Nazi Mauser rifles in large numbers, part of a bigger operation to import ex-German aircraft and other weapons to defend Israel. Many of these Israeli Mauser K98ks still exist, having travelled the world from the battlefields of WWII, to the battlefields of the Middle East, thence to Central America and on to the US and elsewhere.

Operation Titanic - D-Day's Dummy Paratroopers
In the early hours of June 6th, 1944, an extraordinary secret operation codenamed 'TITANIC' began in support of the Normandy Landings. Small teams of brave SAS were parachuted deep behind German lines along with hundreds of dummies, to make the Germans think that large parachute landings were underway - the ruse was designed to lure German forces away from the real parachute landing zones and the beaches. For the SAS who went with the dummies, for most of them 'TITANIC' was a one-way mission.
