Iron Knights - The US 66th Armored Regiment in World War II

Gordon A Blaker

Sinossi

This WWII combat history vividly recounts the exploits of the US 66th Armored Regiment from its initial formation to D-Day and the Race for Berlin. The U.S. 66th Armored Regiment was the only American heavy tank unit to see combat in World War I. By the time America went to war in Europe a second time, it was on the cutting edge of armored warfare. From its baptism of fire in the mud of the Western Front in 1918 to its triumphant march into Berlin in July 1945, Iron Knights tells the story of this legendary regiment.    When the Great War ended, the 66th Armored Regiment served as a laboratory for new ideas and equipment. After training under Gen. George S. Patton, the 66th distinguished itself in numerous battles during World War II, earning six battle streamers for the unit and a Medal of Honor for one of its officers.

Aliens – The Origin of Man

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
Did man rise up from the protoplasmic crud and evolve over millions of years or are his origins from within the world of the X-Files? Was planet Earth visited and populated by an ancient God-like race of super aliens who spawned a new species of servants? Are humans simply the result of biological engineering that we are now just discovering is possible? 
 
The fact is, these ancient alien astronauts can be shown to have not only spawned mankind as a genetic species, but also to have originated our very religions and belief systems. They are the gods of ancient times. They are the holy warrior heroes in their silver chariots flying across the sky. They wielded mighty weapons of mass destruction. And now, thousands of years later we are rediscovering this truth. 
 
We have very strong historical evidence that they came. We have thousands of stories in myths and religious texts speaking of aliens visiting Earth, creating mankind, ruling over them for millennia and even mating with them. We even know that a series of great battles ensued between the originators and their offspring. All of this gave rise to our world religions and it is in the sacred texts and historical writings that we shall discover the truth about the aliens that made us. 
 
These alien astronauts are the very roots of humanity itself.
