Hendrik Elias Hendrik Josef Elias ( 12 June 1902 in Machelen – 2 February 1973 in Ukkel ) was a Belgian politician and Flemish nationalist . Biography . Elias was a noted academic , holding doctorates in both Law and Philosophy from studies at the Catholic University of Leuven , the University of Paris and the University of Bonn before serving in a number of leading roles in both academia and the law . He began his political career in 1930 as the secretary of the Vlaams Nationale Verbond ( Flemish National Union ) . He was a member of Belgian Chamber of People ' s Representatives from 1932 until 1944 . He joined the Flemish National Union ( VNV ) on its formation in 1933 and soon gained a reputation as a leading moderate in the party , despite expressing a strong personal admiration for Adolf Hitler . He was appointed Mayor of Ghent after the German invasion , although he continued to oppose plans to incorporate Flanders into Nazi Germany , arguing instead for a commonwealth . He became leader of VNV in 1942 , following the death of Staf De Clercq , despite opposition of Gottlob Berger , who was suspicious of his views on keeping the Flemish distinct from the Germans . Elias sought to stop recruitment to the Waffen - SS and disband the Hitler Youth . In an effort to accomplish this he encouraged recruitment into the Luftwaffe rather than the SS and achieved some success in diverting Flemings away from Heinrich Himmler ' s men . Elias came into competition for support from the Germans with Jef van de Wiele , whose " DeVlag " movement was allowed to co - exist in occupied Flanders alongside the VNV . Van der Wiele endorsed full integration of Flanders into Germany , a view not supported by the VNV . By April 1943 Elias had become disillusioned with the Nazis as they increasingly backed " DeVlag " and he came to argue that Nazism and Flemish Catholicism were incompatible . Despite these private attitudes Elias did not go public with his reservations . In public , he claimed a German victory was needed , supported recruiting for the Eastern Front , defended forced labor service in Germany and requisitions . Towards the end of World War II he came to co - operate more with the Nazis , fearing a communist takeover . Just before the liberation he authorized using the VNV militia in actions against the resistance . He fled to Germany in September 1944 but took no part in the exiled Belgian collaboration movement under van der Wiele . He was arrested by the French and extradited to Belgium . He was sentenced to death and this sentence was confirmed in appeal . The Belgian government commuted it to life imprisonment . He was released on 24 December 1959 for health reasons . In 1971 he published " Vijfentwintig Jaar Vlaamse Beweging " , part history of the Flemish nationalist movement , part autobiography .
S3V Zagon The S3V Zagon is a guided but un - propelled depth charge developed by the Russian firm Tactical Missiles Corporation .

The developer has claimed that the S3V is around 1 . 2 to 1 . 6 times more effective than conventional unguided depth charges in shallow water ( ≤ 200 meters ) and around 4 to 8 times more effective in deep water ( up to 600 meters ) . The weapon is usually deployed by Tu - 142 , Il - 38 and Ka - 27 / 28 aircraft . Specifications : References . S3V Zagon - 1
USS Tech III ( SP - 1055 ) USS " Tech III " ( SP - 1055 ) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from August to October 1917 . " Tech III " was built as a private motorboat of the same name in 1916 by Adolph Apel at Atlantic City , New Jersey . On 6 August 1917 , the U . S .

Although Navy inspectors had described her as a " Very fast and desirable boat for general use " prior to her acquisition , she apparently proved unsatisfactory , and her service ended after less than two - and - a - half months . " Tech III " was decommissioned on 19 October 1917 and ordered returned to du Pont " when repaired " . Her name did not disappear from the 4th Naval District list of district vessels until the 1 September 1918 issue of the " Navy Directory " , so she seems to have remained in the possession of the Navy until the summer of 1918 . Presumably , she was returned to her owner sometime in mid - 1918 and her name was stricken from the Navy List at that time .

Urakami Cathedral St . Mary ' s Cathedral , often known as Urakami Cathedral ( ) after its location Urakami , is a Roman Catholic church located in Motoomachi , Nagasaki , Japan . History . Construction of the original Urakami Cathedral , a brick Romanesque building , began in 1895 , after a long - standing ban on Christianity was lifted . In 1865 , the French priest Bernard Petitjean discovered that almost all the Urakami villagers were Christian . Between 1869 and 1873 , over 3600 villagers were banished . During their exile , 650 died martyrs . The persecuted Kakure Kirishitan ( Hidden Christians ) came back to their home village from 7 years exile in 1873 , and decided to construct their own church . They purchased the land of the village chief where the humiliating interrogations had taken place for two centuries . The annual " fumi - e " interrogations required those present to tread upon an icon of the Virgin Mary or Jesus . They thought the place was appropriate considering their memory of the long persecution . Construction of the building was started by Father Francine and was completed under the direction of Father Regani . The frontal twin spires stood 64 meters high were constructed in 1875 . When completed in 1925 ( " Taishō " 14 ) , it was the largest Catholic church in East Asia . The atomic bomb that fell on Nagasaki on August 9 , 1945 detonated in Urakami only 500 m ( 1640 ft ) from the cathedral , completely destroying it . As Assumption of Mary ( August 15 ) was near , Mass was held on the day and was well attended . Due to heat wave and collapsed stones all were killed . A replacement was built in 1959 , after a serious debate between Nagasaki city government and the congregation . The city government suggested preserving the destroyed cathedral as a historical heritage , and offered alternate site for a new church . However , Christians in Nagasaki strongly wanted to rebuild their cathedral on the original place for their historical reasons . The place is a symbol of the persecution and their suffering . In 1980 it was remodeled to more closely resemble the original French style . Statues and artifacts damaged in the bombing , including a French Angelus bell , are now displayed on the grounds . The nearby Peace Park contains remnants of the original cathedral ' s walls . What remained of the cathedral is now on display in the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum .
