Maybe for live bacteria, but not for spores. By forming spores, anthrax from diseased cattle can survive in soil and continue to infect 70 years...
This might sound like a naive question from an unscrupulous techie, but would biological warfare have been effective in naval combat in the...
That list of Nazi party members is inaccurate. W. Keitel for sure couldn't have been a party member because army officers were by law prohibited...
Good insights guys. I'm going to buy that book. I will resist the urge to think in terms of numbers like W. Mcnamara or M. Romney - seems he had...
I remember reading in some library book over 10 years ago, a remarkable and scandalous claim. In very simplified terms, 100 Germans = 250...
I calculated the maximum distance Bismarck can be away from Rodney while always staying behind her. Assume Rodney travels in a 350m radius circle...
Even with all screws destroyed (not just the rudders), Bismarck could be rescued! Just hold off the British long enough until another ship can tow...
Has anyone cheered, "Rescue the Bismarck!" instead of sinking it? :cool: Günther Lütjens last radio message about fighting to the last shell...
OK, thanks for reminding me of the diversity within the SA. Heh, you certainly made the Brownshirts more endearing there. Did they happen to...
I think Rohm could have done more to get the army on his side. Rohm was an upstart, not an old school Prussian officer, so I could understand why...
I'm interested in knowing how likely the SA could have overthrown Hitler and maybe even averted WW2? I always thought the SA were the good guys...
Well if he joined the SA instead of the (SS or Hitlerjugend), then I wouldn't think he's that bad. That's one of the main reasons why I was...
I think it does make a difference because the SA was the more progressive and less evil part of the party. They were the ones who put the...
Does anyone know what organization Rolfe joins in The Sound of Music (1965)? I'm tempted to think the SA (brownshirts), but wouldn't that be...
Yeah, I thought that helmet was a little too cheap too. But I saw another one on Amazon that was originally ~$60 but was heavily discounted to $20...
Hi, I'm fancying getting a Stalhelm like bicycle helmet. I see there are quite a few, but they're intended for motorcycle use:...
I'm surprised nobody argued based on economics. According to Wikipedia, a Panther cost 117,100 Reichmarks vs 250,800 RM for Tiger I (initial costs...
Yes, because he was very indecisive and refused to commit sufficient forces to overwhelm the enemy. He just kept hedging his bets. Also, I don't...
China in its entire 5000 years of history has never invaded any of her neighbors or conducted any wars of aggression.
LOL. No. Too pompous & vulgar. Probably why USMC & US Army rarely ever do marches, except for marching band. And I didn't literally mean I goose...
