This conflict is just a short episode from the turbulent history of Central Europe in the 20th century, which is little known even in the countries involved, and almost totally obscure outside them. From the international point of view the most important event in the middle of March, 1939 was that the Third Reich occupied the Czech territories, which was a failure of the Western powers, since they hoped that by the Munich Agreement (29-30 September, 1938), they could avoid any future conflicts with Adolf Hitler. That is why their contemporary media and their recent history books are filled with these events, and do not mention a small parallel conflict. From the Hungarian point of view, occupying its former territory of Sub-Carpathia was very important. Hungary was surrounded on three sides by the hostile Little Entente countries (Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Yugoslavia) and on the fourth side, since the Anschluss in March, 1938, by the Third Reich. To break this encirclement, it was necessary to restore the common border with Hungary's historical ally, Poland and this was achieved by the occupation of this territory. For the Hungarian Armed Forces, the short border conflict with Slovakia was only the closing phase of the occupation of Sub-Carpathia. From the Slovakian point of view, however, this is a far more important conflict. Slovakia became independent for the first time in its history in March, 1939. Parallel to Slovak independence, the Czech territories from the former Czechoslovakia were seized by the Third Reich and Sub-Carpathia was occupied by Hungary. The invasion of a border area of Slovakia by the Hungarians was considered by the Slovaks as a direct threat to the independence of the country. During the Hungarian occupation of Sub-Carpathia, their ground troops were supported by Hungarian reconnaissance and bomber forces. During the border conflict with Slovakia, a short but fierce clash started between the contending air forces. Slovak planes strafed and bombed Hungarian ground troops on 23 March 1939, but the heaviest clashes happened the very next day, when extensive air-to-air combat occurred. Clashes saw Hungarian Fiat CR.32s come up against Slovak Avia fighters and Letov reconnaissance and light attack planes. Also on that day, Hungarian Ju 86 bombers raided the main Slovak air base. The majority of Hungarian materials relating to the combat have been lost or destroyed, so author Csaba Stenge Ph.D. has put in a Herculean effort to construct this account. The text contains details of the historical background to the conflict, a full account of the combat, as well as notes on Hungarian aviators decorated for their performance, short biographies of Hungarian aviators credited with aerial victories, and a list of Hungarian anti-aircraft claims and aerial victories. Besides this, the book contains over 100 rare and mostly previously-unpublished images, as well as a selection of superb color profiles showing camouflage and markings for the aircraft of both air forces.
Welcome to Perdition Falls, New York: where arson is considered a recreational activity, the abnormally hot climate makes everything unbearable, and according to one origin story shrouded in myth and legend, our city is an actual Hellmouth. I've learned those infernal tales aren't just a cheap marketing ploy to lure in tourists and paranormal frauds. It's Hell. We're literally sitting on top of Hell. Fire, brimstone, actual demons--the works. When an incendiary--the name other pyromancers have given to the infestation of Hellfire-wielding demons--kills my closest friend and fellow firefighter, I'm left with a rare power I barely understand. It's the only reason I survived. It also makes me a target, something to be coveted by those who know Perdition Falls' most dangerous, well-kept secrets. While a demonic arsonist puts the city's resident pyromancers on edge, I'm reunited with my long-lost childhood friend Javier, who shares the same strange power that runs through my veins. With him, I find my footing in a place I thought I knew and buried memories from our past start to resurface. As our ragtag group comes together, we become the last defense against the incendiaries' corrupt hold on the city...one completely disastrous mission at a time. But taking down this homicidal demon with a flair for pyromania might mean trusting one of their own.

The Second Battle of Ypres was, by any definition, a brutal event in a brutal war. The already terrible conditions of trench warfare, punctuated by the unimaginable horror of shell fire that turned men into “pink mist,” became even worse when the Germans introduced chlorine gas. But despite the terror, the battle marked a key moment in the formation of Canadian identity and pride. After the Germans’ initial gas attack opened a 12-kilometre-long hole in Allied lines, it was the heroic 1st Canadian Division—men who had been in the trenches for just over a week -- who rushed to fill the gap and block the enemy advance. Drawing on never-before-published material, Nathan M. Greenfield, author of The Battle of the St. Lawrence, presents a gripping new account of the Second Battle of Ypres. Here are the voices of the soldiers themselves -- both Canadian and German -- reaching across more than 90 years with a stunning immediacy.
Smith Wigglesworth: *Smith - "Repeat in your heart often: "BAPTIZED with the Holy Ghost and FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!" All the unction, and weeping, and travailing comes through the baptism of FIRE, and I say to you and say to myself, purged and cleansed and filled with renewed spiritual power." "God Makes His Ministers a FLAME of FIRE" Heb. 1:7*We must with our whole heart believe that the baptism of the Holy Ghost is meant to make us FLAMEs of FIRE.*John the Baptist said concerning Jesus, "He shall BAPTIZE you with the Holy Ghost, and with FIRE." God's ministers are to be a FLAME of FIRE-a perpetual FLAME, a constant FIRE, a continual burning FLAME, burning and shining lights. God has nothing less for us than to be FLAMEs of FIRE. We must have a living faith in God, a faith that God's great might and power may Burn in us until our whole life is energized by the power of God. *I see people from time to time very slack, cold, and indifferent; but after they get filled with the Holy Spirit, they become ablaze for God. I believe that God's ministers are to be FLAMEs of FIRE; nothing less than FLAMEs; nothing less than mighty instruments with BURNING messages.*I say all these things to you to move you into a living faith in God; for what will it profit me without some of you are turned into FLAMEs of FIRE? What will it profit me if I turn from these meetings and you have only heard my voice and seen me? God would never have John and Peter and James to move up and down the world and leave people where they found them. *God wants to flow through you with measureless power of divine utterance and grace till your whole body is a FLAME of FIRE. God intends each soul in Pentecost to be a live wire. Not a monument, but a movement. *"If you want to increase in the life of God, then you must settle it in your heart that you will not at any time resist the Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost and FIRE - the FIRE BURNING up everything that would impoverish and destroy you."* I ask every one of you listening to the sound of my voice, will you hear the voice of God and come out? You ask, "What do you mean?" Everyone who is hungry for God knows without exception, there is only one word for Pentecost, and that is FIRE! If you are not on FIRE you are not in the place were God can mightily use you. It is only the FIRE of God that BURNs up the entanglements of the world.*But oh, the BAPTISM in the Holy Ghost! The BAPTISM of FIRE! The BAPTISM of power! The BAPTISM of oneness! The BAPTISM of the association! The BAPTISM of communion! The BAPTISM of the Spirit of life which takes the man shakes him through, builds him up, and makes him know he is a new creature in the Spirit, worshipping God in the Spirit
