I was thinking of more bombing operations on Hawai for december 1941, not some lame and desperate hydroplane "raid" months later. [img] I think...
Sorry Yankee, ur wrong. The Maginnot line was no more at the time, dismantled to build the Atlantic Wall. BTW, it didn't cover the Belgium border...
Full Metal Jacket, the Thin Red Line, The Longest Day... I like those movies. SPR is too much Hollywood IMHO, and i saw Das Boot so many years ago...
Not by Lenine, but the Tsar was already overthrown when USA entered the war. And Germany had a lot to do with that: the war brought the Tsar down....
None will ever know what would have been the outcome of Olympic and the fate of 80,000,000 Japanese... Japanese think they were victims of the war...
T34 and KV1 were very nasty surprises, only 88 antitank guns were able to kill them at a distance... If you think Stalin knew better about...
Stalin was actually not a "Peace Champion", but after the action of the communists partisans during the war, and their sacrifice, Communism had a...
Well, i haven't got any WWI history book, even if i read about Verdun many years ago (and a small but fascinating essay about gas warfare). The...
Of course isolated soldiers can hide for months or years, especially in Japan! look at it, mountains only... But it's not Tarawa or Iwo Jima,...

IMHO "no retreat" in december 1941 was a good strategy for Germans. It most certainly was not in december 1942...
You're right Erich, oka AND baka. [img] The Ohka was a piloted kamikaze rocket, carried under the belly of Betty medium bombers. The Ohka...
I think in 1945, in the ruins of Europe, civilians do not want any more war, thank you. So much work, so much to rebuild, so much deads... With...
I'm sorry but I have to disagree. German's simply didn't have enough TIME to do it in 1940. They didn't have enough boats (barges or whatever)...
