Dogs both big and small played a crucial part in WW2, running messages, running wires, sniffing out spies, traitors, saboteurs, mines, incoming...
Oh ye of little faith. Everything I proposed is utterly realistic and coincides with many of the Different Commanders thoughts before hand. The...
On the reverse side though, Allied Engineers can just simply build new Rail Road Tracks and widen existing roads to get around that problem. We...
Updating the plan again: The Waal at Nijmegen Bridge is 400 yard wide. So I'll have Sunderlands land in conjunction with the 82nd in the morning...
Thats why I built into this revised plan GOTH Plans. Hobart is one, as instead of waiting for the Son Bridge to be replaced, his LVTs, DD...
Calm down and breathe. This is a one time stopgap to get a few more men in the first lift. Furthermore the Germans will be more concerned about...
Combing through more Records, it appears General Browning's decision to bring his Corps HQ to the fight took up thirty-eight transports, enough...
Sunderlands are way too big for that river and wouldn't be able to get out. Bear in mind the Germans did land troops by Float Plane in 1940 to...

True on an open field, but in devastated Arnhem, there would be plenty of places to hide and the initial threat would be STUGs with Infantry...
Another option is to mount a cut down 75mm pack howitzer they did drop with and tow with jeeps, and go for side hits. The British delivered theirs...
That is why there would be follow on forces that would open it wider. And it was over 60 miles long actually. The main hitting power of the...
Post war a 25 pounder was done http://www.combatreform.com/brentankettewith25poundergun.jpg I can not even imagine what the recoil would have...
Well the only other thing I can think of is to land a Universal Carrier modified to hold a 6 pound gun or a 17 Pounder. If the guns are a bit big...
