Re: Lend Lease contribution
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...

Rommels Kasserine plan approved
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 curious on a few points, - Is it true? - How much did it contribute? - and what was the A...

Re: Comments on Australian or New Zealand tactics by German Army
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...

Re: Comments on Australian or New Zealand tactics by German Army
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...

Re: If I were Hitler...
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...

Re: What if: The Italians actually attacked early on
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...

Re: What if: The Italians actually attacked early on
@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 ...
