Just limited to WW2 Bagration Sedan Uranus Barbaossa Compass Most amphibious landings also require an element of surprise for success. In...
It would be interesting to get at the original documents here, given the general lack of information on Shinano, as far as I know only one photo...
Strangely enough I side on the "saving money will not (most of the time) enhance a politician' career" side. Unfortunately there is not enough...
The men of the 12th MAS squadriglia that were part of the Ladoga Flottilla were repatriated in late spring 1943 so probably more due to the...
A separate peace with Finland in 1941 is a very interesting concept, and the Bulgarians as middlemen (they were not actively at war with the USSR)...
The problem is that now local conditions have gotten so bad mass emigration is happening, and if it "hits a wall" of rejection by EU countries,...
There is also some pretty strong suspicion that the fall of Gheddafi (sp?) and Assad's initial troubles were "helped along" by western an/or...
My vote would be would be for HMS Warspite as well. On the Italian side keeping a 35.000t battleship was a political impossibility, the peace...
And of course the inevitable Osprey, though I can't say anything about the quality of the Bagration one it's by Zaloga so shouldn't be one of the...
The red army didn't have unlimited resources, despite German propaganda, and very little to gain from pushing in Finland once the threat to...
Totally agree about HMSO, though my main gripe is about a non tank book, (Roskill's war at sea). After years of looking for the HMSO edition of...

Not really sure if it's a shell or a full round including the cartridge, though the grooving makes me think a shell. But have it looked at by an...
It's difficult to repair a plane you don't have the manuals for, a lot of those flown where captured intact as they landed at enemy airfields due...
It's not the EU but Germany (and possibly Russia?) that measures gun length differently, I remember being confused at what the 88/54 in Italian...
October 1943 rules out a communication flight with Vichy North Africa and, as the He 111 was mostly used as a transport by then, I would go for a...
Very interesting game concept, matrix's "uncommon valour" that is similar in scope, has a model that is too complex for the effort they put in the...
The cruel sea is fiction, though very good fiction and based on real life experiences by the author, and is certainly worth reading, his three...
Japan developed some fairly heavy tanks that were never used in combat but nothing in the weight class of the Tiger that was unsuitable to most...
Does anyone know how many of the IJN ships had Type 93 "long lance" torpedoes at Savo ? Yunagi and Tenryu for sure didn't as they had 21" tubes....
