And I note you're neglecting the expensive fiasco at Oslo-Fornebu...it was THAT attack that however expensive lasted only half an hour[/i] Thank you for ýour information, I shall go through it. As for Fornebu it was left out because it was not attacked by the FJ's but by infantry arriving in transp...

A detail: At one time I was blasted over at ACG for indicating that the 19 available German Type M35 minesweepers could be a nice factor in the defense of an eventual Sea Lion invasion fleet. They were solid little (800 tons) vessels (as minesweepers often are) and used to work together in establish...

Actually phylo, no, since his response is precisely that which I was referring to in my very non-personal response (given that it wasn't even a response directed at him, but rather at you ). His "response" regarding British defenses was a non sequiter/non answer wandering off onto "d...

http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=154629 :wink: I am sorry to say that you have copied a lot of quite dubious information from your source. I shall just point to a few points: The FJ's did not have any losses to speak of in Norway. The force dropped at Dombås consisted of one co...

Fred, the Luftwaffe Transportgruppen never EVER mustered 1,000 Ju52s; it COULD theoretically muster that number of "transport" aircraft....but that includes floatplanes, impressed civilian types, Ju90s, FW200A/Bs etc., etc., etc.... I did write transports.... And the FJ were geared to usi...

Isn't it obvious Phylo? He got the British defenses by ignoring everything that didn't fit into his preconceived notions. I would think after a half dozen threads and God knows how many pages each that were wasted that would have become apparent to anyone by now. :D I would be very curious to know ...

That's the first I've seen that that many were modified with drive off ramps. What are your sources for this? Not many - 3.200! Honestly, lwd - you are discussing Seelöwe without knowing this....? Read my book! Ah so it's an add for your book? When I see "modified with drive off ramps" it...

As for the number of Ju52s - that figure doesn't come from Halder - it comes from a range of other sources; regarding the losses in Norway, William Green reports 150 total losses throughtout the entire course of that campaign I.E. first week of April to first week of June. Regarding the numbers los...

Plenty of good points to work on here....you'd do well not make such a sensation out of it..... :D 1/ you have to either BE run aground....or wait until you're left high and dry by the ebbing tide -... They were to be run aground - and secured with poles and lines fore and aft. Drive-off could start...

Not many - 3.200! Honestly, lwd - you are discussing Seelöwe without knowing this....? IIRC only a fraction were modified - COULD be modified....to lower the ramps themselves . A greater number required a large "A-frame" to be assembled by the men on board, then the ramp lowered....I.E. t...

You are mentioning September, October... If there was ever an excellent moment to invade Great Britain, it was in June or July. After that, forget about it. I am more with Phylo_King on this. However, his transcript from Halder's visit in September is rather selective both on the conditions in the ...

Not to be found at uboat.net - seems he served with a T-boat flotilla.

That's the first I've seen that that many were modified with drive off ramps. What are your sources for this? Not many - 3.200! Honestly, lwd - you are discussing Seelöwe without knowing this....? Read my book! Which has little bearing on the ability to launch a June invasion. In June, no. But, I f...

I collect vintage American tube audio gear of the Sherwood brand, and literature thereof. I have about 20 units of tuners, amplifiers and music machines. Most of them in perfect working condition. Most are manufactured around 1960. Also their first generation transistor (silicon) amps and tuners, ma...
