After watching this whole thing play out for over a year, all I can say is that Georgi Zhukov must be rolling in his grave!
Of course, it lengthened the war! If the Allies had wanted to end it earlier, then they would have said so. The July 20th plot would have had a...
In WW2 the USA often used Black troops to police up the dead. In the 1st WW on one section of the line, the French buried the dead in their...
What you are talking about are rehearsed "combats". This didn't have the feel that this was rehearsed. Plainly, the P-63 shouldn't have been...
My take on it was that the P-63 pilot was "hot dogging" it and possibly making a faux firing pass on the bomber. The bomber was doing a fairly...
Just saw this on breaking news! A B-17 and a P-63 Aircobra collided at an air show at the Dallas Executive Airport. There are some videos of the...
The real "super weapon" in war is the infantryman, tanker, etc. that gets out of their hole, or in their tank, moves forward and takes the fight...
I believe the "n.A" in the first photo stands for the German "Neu Art" or new pattern. This was the basic WW2 helmet which was different from the...

Japanese zero?

I'm not sure that the V1 had the accuracy to hit Portsmouth. Without interference, it could hit London (then the biggest city in the world)---most...
"On War" by Carl v. Clausewitz. A slow read with much to think about.
Are you trying to excuse the Russian aggression?
The Wagner group mercenaries are a subset of Russian military power-just not an overtly official one. Thus, Botashev was flying for Putin and...
Also, Ukranian intelligence also stated that in the last several years there has been a number (5?) attempts on Putin's life. The last one only a...
If he was up in a combat jet flying combat missions, he isn't very retired!
Just read a news report that said Russia lost another general-this time an air force one. Source is Ukrainian intellegence. Confirmation comes...
