Do you think it would have made a difference if Hitler had not ordered that all battleships and surface vessels not go out of port to attack the...
I do think that would serve in the German Kreigsmarine. Probably not the U-boats, but maybe on a surface vessel such as The Admiral Scheer or an...
A friendly face! I live in New Zealand also, although I am from Dunedin. I am into World War 2 Eastern front battles also, although my favorite...
I think that it was because they were more effective than their guns. With a bayonet, the Japanese could engage a soldier in single combat, where...
It would definitely have been a lot harder fir them to win without the Russians. Rommel would have got his extra divisions in North Africa, so he...
How exactly did the Germans retreat from the Russians from about 1943 onwards when the Russians had the upper hand? Did they abandon positions?...
Definitely artillery, mortars and air attacks (As an infantryman). Both would be hell if you were stuck in one. Also being separated from my squad...
It largely depends on my mood. Sometimes I will write World War 2 stories, other times I will write Roman stories. The most successful of my...
I found this very interesting when I found out that fact. I even used it one of my World War 2 story's. ~It is understandable that the Eastern...
True, but the Germans should have known that the Allies would have never stopped once they were that close to Germany. if it were me, I would...
True. Although Donitz had been asking for more U-boats since mid 1930's, he got little if any new U-boats. He had very few at the start of the...
I thought the Webley and the Luger were good guns. The Luger was a great pistol, and although it had a slower rate of fire than say, the p-38, it...
Nice story, those Germans certainly put up a fight!
I still think that eventually Germany would lose. Russia and the USA had so many resources that Germany would never have, and they would have got...
One of my granddads was in the S.A.S in World War 2 and my other grandfather was in the NZRAF in the pacific. I also had an auntie who was...
Because Germany totally underestimated Russia. They thought that they could just keep beating them, and while they did destroy two thirds of the...
The Great Escape and a Bridge to far are my favorites. The Great Escape is classic movie that I still enjoy even after watching it many times. A...
I would not have liked to be in Burma. The Jungle life, the fact that i would be surrounded by enemies and the heat would turn me insane. I would...
I think it has. A conventional invasion of Japan would have been suicide. The Japanese would have garrisoned their cities into strongholds, just...
Indeed. No one really cares about Burma anymore...which I think is a shame, because the Japanese in Burma were a formidable enemy. No one...
