The Second World War is known for its brutality, with both the Allies and the Axis powers fighting tooth and nail for supremacy.
In spite of this, however, there were some incidents in which soldiers from one side actively or inadvertently aided their enemies. Whether this was done out of a sense of morality, ideology, or some reason known only to them, here are a few examples of when Axis and Allies worked together.

During the middle ages, the majority of people lived in rural villages rather than urban cities or large towns.
But what was everyday life like in a medieval village?

Advances in technology have led to the creation of numerous, deadly bullet designs, including: homing bullets that can track targets from hundreds of yards away, full metal jacket bullets that can penetrate the toughest of surfaces, incendiary bullets that ignite on contact, and armor-piercing bullets that remain intact as they cut through a target.

From the outbreak of the Second World War, the US Armed forces started to actively prepare for what they saw as their inevitable entry into the conflict. Nevertheless, they were still relatively ill prepared when they were finally drawn into the war on December 7th 1941, following the surprise attack by the Japanese on the US naval base at Pearl harbour.

Here we will see how the American G.I. was equipped by the time of 1944 on D-Day.

You may have heard of people dancing to death, laughing to death or sitting on a throne to death, but there are many more surprising stories told to the Grim Reaper when the scythe is resting by the door.
What follows are what happens when you really want to stick it to your enemies for slowing your conquest of the Mediterranean, the consequences of leaving a nuclear reactor to inexperienced workers, the measures people will go to when they’re furious and hungry, and an unfortunate incident relating with an elephant-sized general.

After all, there is no time to reinvent the wheel during war. To desperately stay ahead, nations sometimes create whole departments of people to spy, infiltrate, and copy enemy advancements in technology. Perhaps even more absurd, being the first country to make progress in new technology seems to rarely balance the power favorably for long as every other country, enemy and ally alike, are soon sending spies and envoys to get their hands on it.

The British Government kept the “Operation Unthinkable” document a secret, even from their closest allies, the Americans. After the war, Churchill made no reference to it, not even in his memoirs. It was declassified only a half a century after, in 1998. It was only then that the world got to know how close they had been to World War III.

A New Voyage Round the World: The Journal of an English Buccaneer

At the apex of the First World War, technology and innovation often decided the outcome of the many brutal skirmishes witnessed along the Western Front. Tank warfare, in particular, emerged as a field of great interest to the warring powers as they sought for a way to break the deadlock of static, entrenched combat. As the first tank produced and fielded en-masse during the conflict, the British Mark IV Tank would change the state of war forever. This is the true story of one such tank, affectionately nicknamed the 'Fray Bentos.' Beached before the enemy during the Battle of Passchendaele, the brave crew of the Fray Bentos were forced to endure a 3-day siege - completely cut off from Allied lines. Trapped inside the cramped, smoggy landship, the men desperately fended off multiple ground assaults from their determined German foes. Today, the 'Fray Bentos Boys' are officially recognised as the most decorated tank crew of WW1 - having participated in the war's longest tank engagement.

Desmond Doss was not your average hero.
He would become a Medal of Honor recipient, the United States of America's highest and most prestigious military award, as a combat medic who saved many of his comrades lives in battle without firing a single shot - because he did not take a weapon into combat because of his religious beliefs.

At the end of 1941 in reaction to the German invasion, Stalin ordered the formation of sapper or engineer brigades in the Red Army.
During the offensive, they were tasked with constructing obstacles such as anti-tank hedgehogs and mines to slow down the German tanks and infantry.

Assault Sappers proved themselves in many battles from Kursk to Berlin, especially where standard units had no success.

The United States invasion of Panama in late 1989 was an intervention carried out with the aim to maintain Washington's dominance in Latin America. Among other countries in the region, Panama was of particular importance to the United States. It was primarily because of the Panama Canal that connects the Atlantic with the Pacific Ocean and was significant for both American military and economic interests.

At the dawning of the Second World War, emboldened by the Anschluss, Adolf Hitler turned his focus to the Sudetenland, a heavily industrialised region of Czechoslovakia with a considerable population of ethnic Germans. Fearing the outbreak of another bloody conflict, Britain and France entered into a policy of appeasement with Nazi Germany, engaging in a four-power conference that would culminate in the signing of the Munich Agreement. Ultimately, Hitler would betray the trust of the western powers, and the Munich Agreement is now remembered in history as a byword for the futility of appeasing aggressive, totalitarian states.

The fact that it took place in 1938 should tell you if it was successful or not!

Over the past few centuries, weapons technology has progressed by leaps and bounds, and recently developed equipment that is only a few years old runs the risk of becoming obsolete.
In this modern age of near constant innovation, the shield, a piece of technology with its origins in the distant past, has been given a new purpose even in the twenty-first century.
