Re: Quality of Fuel used by Germna Armed Forces.

The answer is probably - nothing. Fuel isn't the answer, but what it does i.e. allows you to raise compression ratios in engines. A low-power, but large capacity engine isn't much use LOL except for reliability! http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/150grade/150-grade-fuel.html not compression rat...

Re: KO'd tanks used as strong points

When I saw them, I knew they weren't Russian or American, so I thought they were maybe French. A few years later, I saw a picture in...
