To someone who doesn't know what he's talking about and doesn't want to know it may mean nothing. To the rest of us it certainly does. As to it...
Well that was marginally coherent. It's not just how much energy an individual photon carries it's how manly there are and how they react to the...
Fall of 41 means that the what comes out of the French factories doesn't reach the Wehrmacht until sometime in 42. US enters the war before then...
When was he writing? If it's been within the last couple of decades there's no such thing as a "modern battleship". If he's talking of a...
1) If you say someone said something you should actually use their words to use your own is misleading at best. 2) You should also quote enough...
Care to explain why you think so? Without at least some knowledge and understanding of logistics you aren't going to be able to really understand...
Would the birds fried by the Jim Creek transmitter count? Put enough power in a radio transmission and it can quite clearly be less than safe....
The capitalized sentence has essentially no relevance to the question asked or the preceding verbiage. Both irrelevant and inaccurate. "Wrong"?...
I guess I need to clarify a bit. In most if not all military organizations the unit is responsible for it's equipment. If say a company has 10...

A bit of a misnomer IMO calling a process that last that long. The radioactive decay is almost instantaneous. For essentially all of an element...
Thanks, So at least some of that 75mm HE (and for that matter WP and smoke) would have been for indirect fire.
For aircraft I remember someone giving a break down of the German system and damage could be rated in a number of categories from essentially...
If not for the Austrian gold reserves Hitler's Germany would have been bankrupt before the war even started. Take a look at Wages of Destruction....
What about it is controversial? That seems an odd term to use when your object is to "capture WWII Casualty Statistics".
Do you by any chance have a feel for how much of that was indirect fire? I've heard that it happened at least occasionally in Europe and later in...
Perhaps Germany could have put enough resources into the war at sea to have a chance of defeating Great Britain. However the cost of doing so...
The UN charter specifically allows for countries to act in self defense. No Resolution is needed for them to do so. Self defense includes...
If a build up of subs and long range aircraft was detected that might suggest CVE's or something similar. Gladiators and Swordfish can operate...
In summary it has yet to be proven or even well supported that the two opinions in the title are correct or well founded.
