Allow me to extrapolate. Hope that helps :) You must understand Stefan that upon this point we have firmly differing contentions and therefore...
Just wanted to add another consideration to the thread, of what was going on among the oberkommando and Nazi appointments throughout the war....
I was thinking we might tune historical references and then work from there. Okay, Barbarossa. First, Stalin fully expected the German attack to...
I really like some of the lateral thinking on these forums. I was just thinking, I guess I could carry more pack equipment without a bike than...
Stefan, the tactical emphasis on strategic doctrine was never practised by the Allies. Ground attack was only even assigned in conjunction with...
Combat value as associated with weapon complexity/weight versus destructive capabilities. Certainly it could be very effective within a confined...
I like the site for the fine detail often submitted. It provides excellent pointers for research, elements you might never have thought of or...
Indeed a valuable observation pertaining to combat environment. "Hand to hand" in military terms really means close combat and includes sidearms,...
The distinction between fighter-bombers and dive bombers is made due to Wehrmacht tactical emphasis on strategic doctrine, which never existed...
I played around with a P-08 once, never fired it but definitely got the impression from its action that I wouldn't want to. I was a teenager and...

Upright engine rules out Me-309. It looks for all the world like a '51 hybrid with a griffon. Aerofoils have me stumped, they look European....
I think the point's been loosely made that one thing to keep in mind about realistic speculative fiction is the foundations for every event. Since...
Correct. The 57mm antitank gun M1 was a copy of the British 6-pdr although a wheel traverse was fitted on American carriages (conventional split...
My impression was that the reputation of the Ju-87 was really gained in 1939-40. Whilst a Ju-87 squadron and a Hs-123 squadron for that matter was...
The way I understand it popular celebration comes from legal institution. Forget everything else and look at law, Nazism is conservative in the...
All things considered the war was handled fairly well but there are a few blatant errors which are political. These would be Japanese military...
No actually the statements I made were indeed my opinion. But thanks for thinking you were me.
This is inherently an opinionated response. I'd say the Hummel and Marder were the two best in retrospect. One allowed heavy artillery batteries...
