That was quite the eruption. A few years ago I remember reading about a man that lived there his whole life and he refused to leave. They never found him.

The forgotten war... Never heard of it!

I think the term World War II just rolls of the tongue too easily.

We forget it was aptly named, and we tend to put the war down to just the usa, uk, germany and japan really

The history of the NAZI ship, Cap Arcona. Once a luxurious passenger ship. It did not end well due to WWII. A story not many want told perhaps.

Oh wow.. Sounds terrible. I never really liked reading anything about Nazis. Too sad and scary overall.

I snagged a little more info from here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Cap_Arcona

It's about time that they mention women explorers. How many have you really ever heard of? I am sure there were a lot more than history tells us.
