I think there are only few things which p*** off the Russians more than a suggestion they defeated the Germans because of the numbers. This is why they celebrate all stories which document to the contrary. If you want a sample, please have a look at http://www.feldgrau.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=114...

I loved the movie
I loved the movie. Its dark, unexplicable, odd, agonising climat very much resembled "Blade Runner" to me. Actually, it was a bit like a "Blade Runner" story. I do not care about errors. This was a movie. Funny you are unahppy with it. I remember once I have stumbled over a Russi...

Sheptytsky and SS
I vaguely recollect I have read that Andrey Sheptytsky, head of the Greek-Catholic church in the Ukraine, has fiercely objected to Greek-Catholic chaplains serving in the SS. Kill me if I can quote the source, but this seems logical, given his general non-commitment strategy.

erledigt
how would you translate „erledigt”?
“finished”?
“worn out”?
“useless”?
“exhausted”?
anything else?
This is how an own HG command described to OKH the state of a certain division after heavy fighting. I would like to ascertain whether this division can be considered destroyed or still operational.

Richard Pipes, "Vixi" and Fall Weiss numbers
anyone has read? I have been told Pipes quotes some sensational figures on German losses during Fall Weiss (91.000 KIAs, allegedly according to some "recently uncovered archives"). First, I am not sure whether Pipes has indeed written what seems to be a total nonsence. Second, I wonder aft...

If you do, indeed, have something more substantive than Reinefarth that sheds as direct and authoritative a light on German losses at Warsaw as von dem Bach, do please let us have it. If you have 11, so much the better 1. Bach has discredited himself as a reliable source of data when he gave two va...

beer vs cider
no way! Dry cider is different stuff. I would have offered dry cider if we had discussed at least the armies, if not the entire Heeresgruppen!sid guttridge wrote:Now about the beer. Could we make it a dry cider instead?

Excuse the bittiness of my reply today. I lost a long post somewhere into the ether earlier today and so will keep this to short instalments sure. The only problem is my MS Word thesaurus, Roget’s Thesaurus and all dictionaries I have failed to inform me what “bittiness” is. I presume it has someth...

Please let me dig a bit and will revert soon No-one knows the numbers even by estimate, as the battle is very poorly researched. There were 3 tank corpses involved on the German side and 6 mechanized corpses on the Soviet side. I would estimate it was some 1.000 German tanks and some 4.000 Soviet t...

Sorry. But the fact remains that von dem Bach's men lost slightly over 25% of their men. Even disregarding all comparisons with Kursk, these are not light losses too easy. First, we do not know how many people Bach had under his command throughout the entire period; we know only snapshots from some...
