75 years ago, on 4 February 1945: The Yalta Conference
The Yalta Conference was a meeting of three World War II allies: U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin. The trio met in February 1945 in the resort city of Yalta, located along the Black Sea coast of the Crimean Peninsula. The “Big Three” Allied leaders discussed the post-war fate of defeated Germany and the rest of Europe, the terms of Soviet entry into the ongoing war in the Pacific against Japan and the formation and operation of the new United Nations.

The helmets Adrian
French helmets from 1915 provide better protection from blasts than modern helmets
The Adrian helmet was distributed from 1915 to French troops to protect the soldiers from shrapnel exploding above the trenches.
Un French First World War helmets would provide better protection from blasts than the helmet currently fitted to the US military, according to a recent American study.
“Biomedical engineers at Duke University have shown that (…) modern military helmets do not protect the brain better from shock waves created by an explosion than their WWI counterparts,” the university said in a statement. .
“One model in particular, the French Adrian helmet, actually gives better results than modern models to protect from explosions,” adds this study published last week, as the Pentagon announced that 109 American soldiers suffered from a concussion. due to the firing of Iranian missiles at a base housing American soldiers in Iraq.
The Adrian helmet was distributed from 1915 to French troops to protect the soldiers from shrapnel exploding above the trenches.
Head injuries had become one of the primary causes of casualties on the battlefield and this light helmet, unable to directly stop a rifle or submachine gun bullet, was fitted with a crest, a fixed piece of metal on the top of the helmet intended to absorb shocks coming from above.
]American researchers compared three World War I helmets to helmets currently used by the U.S. military, finding trench warfare most comparable to fighting against jihadist groups: the Brodie round, flat helmet used by British armies and American, the German helmet Stahlhelm which will be used during the two world wars and the helmet Adrian.
The pressure exerted on the helmet was similar to that known to cause cerebral hemorrhage and tests showed that the risk was 50% without helmet, less than 10% with the German and British helmets, 5% with the modern American helmet and only 1% with French helmet, says the study.
“The result is surprising because the French helmet was made from the same materials as its German and British equivalents, and the shell was thinner,” notes one of the study’s authors, Joost Op’t Eynde.
“The main difference is that he had this ridge on the top of the helmet. Even if it had been designed to protect against metal shards, this characteristic could also protect against shock waves “, he concludes, before recommending a new design of modern helmets to better protect from the blasts of explosions.
