Definitely an admirer you are 8) Though I'm sure we all admire Mr. R a bit, But I'm afraid you may actually be wrong about the real amount of aid the Lend Lease gave Russia seeing as I've heard accounts of stock piles of Lend Lease equipment sitting at the Ports because it wasn't liked by the Russia...

Looking back at the Tunisian campaign, Where Rommel was forced to go ahead with his planned attack through the Kasserine Pass with a much smaller force then what he envisioned using.. What would the outcome have been had he been giving what he wanted for the attack? Seeing as he did so much with wha...

Just out of curiosity, Being reading up on the Australian 6th div and the Battle of Bardia, and there is some indication's that the battle contributed politically towards the US passing the lend lease act. Just curious on a few points, - Is it true? - How much did it contribute? - and what was the A...

Japan would have won since most of them are manufactured in Asia :P

It was actually..they did an amazing job.. Lent the book to a friend but when i get it back ill get more info and pass it along.

Ill try and look up the sources of these 'myths' from there you can decide if you believe them to be factual or not. As for the 9th being removed at Australian insistence, Some of its units where below half strength, and many had troop's suffering bad health.. We had a choice to save our boy's to fi...

Well for one thing they thought we are damn stubborn.. Looking at Tobruk.. We held our ground and kept on fighting when others would fall back.. Got the respect of the Germans and high praise from every one around.. Elite of the British Empire i believe Rommel said :P.. Not sure which general but on...

Tho i find it difficult to believe the Soviets would fall in '41, i guess it is possible as if memory serves me, Stalin did ask a man (Russian envoy i believe) in Bulgaria? to ask for peace terms, Which only didn't go ahead due to said man saying no because the Soviets would win anyway. but fir sake...

Under Italian leadership, No it is not likely as the biggest flaw I see th Italians having very early on was there failure to learn from the Germans, Fast swift armored and mobile forces were the key to success. But they chose to build forts for temporary safety rather then taking a gamble using the...

@ljadw Actually, at the start even tho there equipment was poor by what the allies had, It was superior based on what the allies fielded Egypt/Sudan/Kenya as well as a numerical superiority. By capturing Egypt/Sudan it allows the Italians to concentrate there resources on Malta and Gibraltar, which ...

G'day everyone. Been doing some reading lately and came across a book titled 'Mission 101', I'm wondering if any one has more detailed information, or accounts on this group. It was based in Ethiopia 1940, Where groups of Australian and British officers and soldiers trained up Ethiopian patriots and...

Being doing a bit of reading, And i have wondered, What if the Italians with superior numbers, weapons and equipment took advantage of it, With a half million men between Libya and East Africa and the strongest naval force in the med as well as strongest air force they could have wiped out the Briti...

Greetings all. Haven't done much research lately, and as i was surfing the internet recently i came across the RAAF PBY Catalina's. Operating as night time raiders in four squadrons, No. 11, 20, 42 and 43 Squadron RAAF, mounting mine laying operations from 23 April '43 to July '45 in south west paci...

So far i know that 60 where built.. 4 for India.. 20 paid by the Admirilty in Uk (I think.. not sure) and 36 Paid by Australia.. In all 56 of the 60 Corvettes where operated by Austr...

Dunkirk wasnt the only port the Germans held until the end of the war, There was about half a dozen ports that held out until the war ended.
