There is one thing I won't to point out: Ricky said one of the great problems the Muslims had to solve if they wanted to create a big superpower...
I was sure because I have of photograph of that KV (it's on a book, but I bet it won't be very difficult to find it on the web) and I recognised...
I think it also depended on the place the KV-2 was located: it was on a very narrow road, in the middle of a grove. Thus is how the picture shows...
It is an set of books edited here in Argentina which speak of the Second World War in general. I have its bibliographical references, so if you...
There's something I say sometimes: let's say God doesn't exist. I firmly believe he does, as I said some posts before, but let's suppose he...
This is a topic which interests me a lot: the aproximate number of tanks produced by Germany during the war, cause every single book says...
The book I have (which introduces the Tiger tank with that anecdote) says he engaged the unit I mentioned, I have checked it. Maybe the book is...

A book by Osprey refers a story of an specially armoured KV-2 tank (the 1940 version, with the big turret), which was blocking a key cross and...
I guessed something, probably totally wrong, but here it goes: the Germans knew in 1943 that the "short" Panzer IV (I think those were models upto...
There's is one aspect I don't agree with: someone said that the Germans conquered almost all Europe but the UK and a part of Russia (the bigger...
There's one thing we must take into account: was the tank, despite armour and firepower, useful or not? Because the Konigstiger had 180 mm of...
That's something I have forgotten: the JS-2 ammunition capacity was too little, so in a prolonged fight they would have a very tough time. But,...
