Hi Sid, Are you sure that La Manche wasn't actually a highly successful French construction to keep the British out? Since the 16th Century British armies only ever seem to successfully attack the state of France from the territory of other continental countries, never across La Manche. Perhaps some...

Almost.
Intelligence
Everything else correct

Any outcome from the "Iron Hand Of Cleansing" further to that clever and useful post of Dr. Krospell?
Just to know....

Hi Helmut, Being, like you, not a Mod myself, I can't post here the Holy Truth, but I believe that your healthy and respectable screening of the Feldgrau garbage boxes should be sent directly by PM to the man who has the power to ban, erase and delete, i.e. Jason Pipes, with, maybe, a copy to any ot...

Hi Sid, The British Army was never large in peacetime. It didn't have to be because no continental army could get past the Royal Navy to threaten the UK Sorry to pollute that thread with an old joke, but I can't refrain: "While the stupid French where building at great cost a Maginot line that ...

Not "as if", he WAS living in an universe whose clock was stopped forever early 1945.

Hi everybody, I don't want in any case to criticize this documentary but just wish to remind to the members that the Monte Cassino battle was eventually won by the encirclement of the Monte Cassino by the CEFI French forces and by the final assault on Monte Cassino itself by the Polish forces. So, I...

Hi Lorenz, I just prepared a detailed reply to your question, SJD, but when I hit the SUBMIT button at the bottom I got the "Critical Error" message and it didn't post. That has happened to me a number of times here on Feldgrau and a lot of good stuff has been lost If it can ease a bit you...

Hi, Gebirgsjaeger, The SD was a part of the SS organisations and organigram, so whomsoever was member of the SD was automatically also a member of the SS, no choice. Now, it may be possible that your grand-uncle was a non-SS policeman who found himself transferred to the SD without having volunteere...

Hi Torquez Yes I know, I have even seen pictures of French pilots :) That is why I included French :) I knew you knew... but can't refrain to sing "La Marseillaise" and laud the glory of the French Army whenever someone provides me an excuse for such (Thanks BTW). :D There was also a Germa...

Hi John, Hello Folks: I am currently reading an excellent book about the Battle of Algiers. It mentions a figure of 30% German in the 1st REP( Regiment Etranger Parachutiste). Note the figure is 30% German, not Waffen-SS. The French Para Regiments at the time consisted of about 800 men. The fighting...

Hi Torquez, And then tell me, how many nations were in the Red Army, compared with the Germans? Poles, Ukrainians, Belarussians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Frenchmen , Latvians, Jews, with all likelyhood you would find Spaniards, oh and there was a German military council that supported Red Army also :...
