Ironic list (updated periodically)

During W.W.II, a film was being made in Germany about some older battle long before, and during the filming actual artillery bombs were exploding but these were Russian bombs from advance
columns attacking the film site.

More horses died in the Russian movie "1812" than the actual numbers of dead horses from the 1812 battle for Moscow for which the film was made.

Thousands and thousands of W.W.II allies who helped defeat the axis, were turned over to the Russians by the allies against their will where they were killed for aiding the enemy.

From all accounts it appears that 20,000-30,000 Americans, Canadians,Brits and other allies were killed by the Russians who didn't want to return them. Our U.S. servicemen were Nazi prisoners and were liberated by the Russians, but fearing a war with the allies just as the war ended, figured they would have to fight these released prisoners so they killed them. This is one of the reasons Patton was killed, he wanted to fight them. Patton did not die as described.

Ho-chi-min our deadly adversary in Vietnam was responsible for helping rescue thousands of downed allied airmen in Southeast Asia during W.W.II.

Thousands of Japanese and Chinese soldiers died in a fake battle. The Japanese needed tungsten badly. A Japanese general was secretly buying it from a Chinese general and mind you these are mortal enemies from the ages, the Japanese high command unaware of the under the table dealings ordered a withdrawal from the area. In order to continue their secret money making
trade- the Japanese gen. told the Chinese gen. if you dint order a massive attack right now we will have to leave due to inactivity and say goodbye to the millions we are making, that night
a big battle took place and quite possibly was the reason the Japanese did not link up with the axis because the turning point was the battle of the Irrawaddy river and these Japanese troops were tied up dying for the gen. and his tungsten.

During the crusades to the holy land, there was also children's crusades, an army of young children. The reason it was really organized, was to get rid of the untold numbers of street urchins and orphans from the cities of Europe. Under the guise of some lofty principles to rescue
the religion. Certain elements wanted to profit from this, arguing that the majority wouldn't make it. Lets sell them as slaves but tell them to board ships pretending the journey to the holy land. Some children actually made it because they got on the wrong ships. the rest were sold as slaves in the mid-east.

On the same note Saladin the great sent his own doctors to care for his European adversary
leaders when they got sick.
