Give it enough time and the equivalent next stories will be about egirl drone pilots that took down aircraft carriers from a bunker in the middle of landlocked nowhere.
This article is still pretty funny though.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

My hero.
Funny joke. But Fokker was Dutch, not German.
It was both, the company was founded in Berlin and only moved to the Netherlands when Germany wasn't allowed to build planes and plane engines after WW1
Even more fun is that Fokker eventually moved to the US in the 1920s and morphed into North American Aviation, famous for producing the P-51 Mustang and other airplanes. Those fokkers was inside the house!
Shit like this makes me wonder if the rest of the world deserved WWII. Plunge a first-world country into an almost-comically absurd economic destitution, Hitler rises to power in a completely predictable manner, and the rest of the world goes
Of course, the asshole needed to be overthrown and choke on his own bullet. But, all of this could have been prevented if WWI's victors didn't fuck over Germany so hard.
The common consensus is that the Treaty of Versailles was not harsh enough to keep Germany down but too harsh to have a chance of reconciliation.
I believe a more generous peace and not putting all the blame on Germany could have been the seed for a more united Europe. But four years of brutal industrialised war and millions of casualties destroyed any chance of that.
Happy Rudel noises
