quite a bit. Especially for Germany, who had two armoured divisions (the 15th and 7th i believe) against an entire army. On the Russian front,...
One more thing. The Japanese actually had a tough decision to make. To opt to head south for the oil in the Dutch East Indies or to go for the...
the difference between battle, offensive and campaign is very slight indeed. I'm not exactly sure, but according to Russian sources, probably the...
All that it took was a sock with a high-explosive material (dunno which one) covered in axel grease - a 'sticky bomb'. (saw it in Saving...
Rommel was a very intelligent person, but his expectations of the Afrikakorps were much too great (capture Suez? Even with Italian East Africa,...
The atomic bomb did change everything. In fact, the target was actually Berlin before the Russians captured it, forcing the allies to target...

America of today is very different from america of 1939-1940. Its economy was still struggling from the Great Depression. I highly doubt that much...

yeah. It was one of several battle units from Army Group Center sent to aid Army Group South.
And the final objective was Antwerp, right?
The Russians would have struck anyways had the Germans not attacked in June 1941, but would it have been as efficient as Stalin had proclaimed it...
The Panzerdivisionen (Panzer Divisions) were in fairly good shape. What I think was that Hitler wanted them to stop after they captured the city...
