Dear Ron Klages, Good point that most wars are about broader issues than a single natural resource. However, some wars are very focused on specific natural resources. However, there have been numerous wars over fertile soil, access to a single river or seaport, control of a single mountain pass, and...

Dear Grunt, Thanks for your reply. Regarding your point on North Africa, would you agree that the Afrikakorps' immediate objective was to control Egypt and thereby achieve the following strategic objectives: a) the Suez canal (probably the primariy strategic objective) AND, not OR b) the Mideast oil...

How Much of WW2 Was an Oil War?
Was the North Africa campaign in the end an oil war?
Was the thrust through southern Russia to the Caspian Sea an oil war?
How much of Japan's expansionism in Southeast Asia an oil war?

I have a German mother's medal in bronze. This medal, which is very graceful (it looks like an elongated iron cross and has a swastika in the center) and is inlaid in white and blue enamel. I understand the system for awarding this medal to women depended on how many children they had: > 2 children ...

Lieber Hell, Excellent photos and sites! It must be a lifetime thrill down to your bones to see that Panther or Jadpanther roar by. From your third link, it appears that the vehicles driving (Museumsnacht) occurred in early September of 2003. By all means, if you (or anyone else) can supply dates fo...

Arne (and others!), Apparently the vehicles are being driven in the Koblenz photos? Perhaps they do it in Koblenz (and I think also in Saumur, France), but not in Muenster. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it, since I am planning a trip this summer and would like to coincide in time and place ...

OK, at the end of the day, my favorite, as originator of this thread, is: Koenigraetzer Marsch (I believe it is only instrumental) Here is another good one; see if you can identify it from the first few words of one of the verses (hint: stirring and rhythmic marching song par excellence): Soldat Kam...

Great discussion! What do members think on this point: With the SA in as influential a position as the SS was in 1939, would war have been less likely? I think it would have been less likely (because I suspect that the SA would have been more concered with a domestic agenda of social welfare/ employ...

Was this the furthest east German forces advanced?
A veteran told me he was a young lieutenant with Von Kleist's staff when this commander reached the Caspian Sea near oil-rich Baku. The veteran also said that a Kriegsmarine unit rolled up in their pristine blue trucks carrying boats that were to be used to cross the Caspian and make contact with fr...

Dear derGespent and Herr Doktor, Let me see if I follow your points, in terms of what is cause and what is effect: Are you saying that, the reason (cause) that the SA was suppressed was that its fundamentally socialist/labor tendencies were contrary to the (capitalist/conservative) direction the par...
