Lieutenant Joe McCarthy serving as a gunner-observer on a SV-91 Renegade dive bomber. During the Second Great War, McCarthy would serve several missions in the Texan front, though the majority of these were reconiassance missions with little danger to the aircraft or crew. Despite this, McCarthy would claim that he had shot down twelve enemy aircraft, a false statement that he would use to launch his political career as part of the Socialist Party in Wisconsin. His detracters, once they came to know about his lies, mocked him with the epithet "Tailgunner Joe".

James Farley campaiging for President in 1940.

Farley was the campaign manager of Al Smith's New York gubernatorial 1922 campaign and his 1936 Presidential campaign, and he would go on to be the campaign manager for Franklin Delano Roosevelt's gubernatorial campaign in 1932. Farley decided to run against Smith in 1940 due to his disagreement with the Richmond Agreement. Unfortunately, due to him running late into the Socialist primary, and the Richmond Agreement being well received at the time, Farely lost the primary election.

Decided to do something different for the iceburg entry...

Kilroy_Was_Here_-_Washington_DC_WWII_Memorial.jpg

Hello guys! Welcome back to my video channel. Today we will be covering the Mysteries of the Second Great War Iceburg! Now I'm a big history fan and one of my most favorite subjects is the Second Great War ... but I was still stumped over several of the entries.

Kilroy was Here: Like a lot of people, I first thought of the movie Wireless when I first saw this. For those who live under a rock, Wireless is a 1970s horror movie directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Joe Pesci as the serial killer Kilroy and Clint Eastwood as a tough New York cop. During the movie, whenever Kilroy kills someone, he spraypaints a wierd looking face along with the words "Kilroy was here" on a nearby wall. The phrase, and the face, has become an iconic part of American culture and is usually graffitied by pranksters onto neighborhood houses every Halloween.

"What does this have to do with the Second Great War?" you may ask. Well, the symbol and the phrase "Kilroy was Here" actually didn't originate with Martin Scorcese. In fact, it comes from a symbol that Canadian insurgents would paint on town walls everytime they killed an American or Quebecois soldier. A lot of the times these killings would occur during the night, and when the Americans and townsfolk would wake up they would find the symbol ... along with the body of a soldier. American GIs became extremely terrified of what they referred to as the "Kilroy Face", and even after the war they carried this fear with them. Now the reason why Canadians drew this face and used the name "Kilroy" is unclear, but some historians say the face may have come from a popular British comics character named "Chad". So, the Canadians may have used the face as a symbol of their British heritage.

In several interviews, Scorcese mentioned that his father served on the Canadian front, so this may be where the origin of the symbol in Wireless comes from. In a 2016 interview, Scorcese said that he used the "Kilroy" symbol to "awaken a deep, and repressed, sense of fear ..." among moviegoers. Despite this, the Kilroy symbol has lost a lot of its scary meaning over time, and is now an overcommercialized part of spooky season, a lot like Jack-o-Lanterns and plastic skeletons.

Would’ve voted for this guy in a heartbeat.

The Blueshirts were established in 1932, following the Great Depression going global. The party didn't gain much ground due to the Silvershirts in Britain being elected and Ireland not being affected by the Depression much. In 1935, the party was dissolved. Some former members went on to fight for the Spanish monarchists in the Spanish Civil War and formed extremist Irish resistance movements during the British invasion and occupation of Ireland during the Second Great War.
