    Also, what would be the point of building a machine large enough to an extent that bombers would be able to directly attack it from above. It's just ctrazy that they even thought of that...


    Cheers...

    I would like to know the particulars of this pic., I looked at it and began to wonder if the guy on the ground wasn't wrapping loaves for distribution to the individual units with the wagon having delivered the bulk bread from a central bakery.

    Maybe his look is one of concentration to make sure he gets the loaf wrapped properly? Or is the sequence the opposite, is he unwrapping newly delivered loaves for delivery by the wagon? It would help to know which was which.

    True LOL. I have B&W phots sometimes. I lean towards the unwrapping.

    So far I don't think I have seen any photos of bicycles being used in the snow though. So that is another benefit of a horse I think.

    You shouldnt say that Germans werent good warfighters, that isnt fair to them. Sure some of these countries were badly off but it is the fact that Germany conquered all of them in such a short time is remarkable. Or look at it this way: it took a few weeks each to get these countries, but yet it took years to get them back. Now please; I request that nobody call me a worshiper or anything like that, I just want to get the facts straight.
