Vitebsk Puns

Hi, I’m looking for books or other sources that describe Vitebsk region in WW1 especially the Jewish experience there. Anything in any language would be useful. I know Vitebsk is in Belarus today but I assume since it was part of Russian Empire it falls within the scope of this group. Thank you!

Only two episodes thus far, but more are on the way.

There’s a city in Belarus with the interesting name of Vitebsk. It’s an old city, one that most people haven’t heard of. It’s a good place to get away from the world and hide. It’s exactly what I needed.

How I got there is a long story. Let’s just say that after my previous employers ran into a bit of trouble and are no longer amongst the land of the living. Exactly what happened, I don’t know. Up until a year or so ago, I was respected. My line of work didn’t exactly keep me on the right side of the law, but the money was good enough that I simply didn’t give a damn. Officially, the organization I belonged to was known as The Toronto Caterers Association. The unassuming name was just a useful cover. The TCA was owned by the Tallinn Corporation, a ‘shipping’ company based in Estonia and one of the largest organized crime operations in the world. A simple mind might call them the Russian Mafia but the reality was far more complex than that. There are undoubtedly other people who can explain it far better than I ever could. All of this was only relevant to me in the sense that I knew who was running the show, and who was sending the girls.

The TCA had its fingers in a lot of different pies, but the most profitable was the girls. They’d ship them in from other countries and the owners of their ‘establishments’ would offer their ‘services’ to a specific kind of client. They’d pump the girls full of drugs to keep them dependent and I’d heard a few of them made a point of using violence to keep their girls too scared to run away. That was never my job though. No, I came in at the end of the process. When the girls stopped turning in a profit, I’d get a call, collect the corpse and dispose of it. Sometimes I had to put them down too if the owner was too chickenshit to do it himself. But most of them had the good sense to put a bullet in her head before I showed up. It was dirty work, I knew that going in. But it paid the bills and because of the people who had my back, I was above the law. Above society. I lived like a King.

I don’t remember hearing any suspicious talk around the time everything went down. There were the occasional murmurs of vigilante pushback or rival operations, but none of it affected my job. It wasn’t until after the shit hit the fan that I even knew anything was wrong and even then, it took me a while to piece it all together.

I mostly worked for Roger Hartwell, he was the man running the operation in Hamilton. He was a gru

So... has anyone noticed any actual function? I've noticed the model changes (very neat), but absolutely nothing else. I've gotten shot down by the ADATS, FlaRakPzrs, FlaRakRads, and Starstreaks with no discernible difference to pre-patch.
